Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Seasons 2 - Playdate with Medina
On this weekend's holiday, Radit and Khaira devised an idea to invite Arsyilla to playdate or play with Medina. In particular, Khaira aimed for Arsyilla to be friendly with Medina. Just like the ones who are friendly with Metta. Through playing together, a child will be able to be more familiar and start to make friendships.
"We're playing at Aunty Metta's house and Om Dimas's love .. There's Medina who can play with you." Take Khaira to Arsyilla.
Arsyilla nodded her head, "Yes Ma ... There Syilla can play what?"
"Syilla herself wants maen what? If there is a toy or book that Syilla wants to bring it can be really" he said while staring at the two eyeballs that are so clear Arsyilla.
Then the three of them prepared to leave for the house of Metta and Dimas. After all, they hadn't seen each other long enough. Although both live in Jakarta, but they also rarely meet because of their respective activities.
Along the way Arsyilla several times asked about Medina to Mama and her Papa. Meanwhile, Khaira just smiled and replied as much as she could because Khaira herself did not know Medina either. This time will also be an opportunity for Arsyilla to socialize with her peers.
When they arrived at Dimas and Metta's house, they said their greetings.
"Excuse me. Aunty Metta and Om Dimas."
Not waiting long, apparently Metta who came out and opened the door for them.
"Eh, there is Brother Syilla entering yuk entrance .. tumben loh" he said while letting the three of them enter. "How are you Khai? Wow, yes kangen ... it has been a long time since I met." he continued while hugging Khaira.
"Yes .. same. I miss it too." Khaira told Metta.
"Sit down first. I called her dad had just played on top of that with Medina" she said as she walked to her room on the second floor to call her husband and Medina.
Eventually, Metta, Dimas, and Medina came down and greeted them.
“Hai Bro, how are you? Our feeling is still only one city, but the meeting can be counted fingers huh?” greet Dimas to Radit. Friends who used to be at work are still familiar with each other.
“It was the same brother Syilla, Dina .. play together.” this time Dimas as if telling Medina to play with Arsyilla.
For a small child, it does not take long. Although they rarely get to know, only limited to know and not so familiar, but it only takes a few minutes for Arsyilla and Medina to be able to play together.
“Kakak Syilla ..” call Medina by waving her hand, as if the 2-year-old is also greeting Arsyilla.
“My name is Arsyilla ..” Syilla said by approaching Medina.
Arsyilla then gave up some of the small meals she brought from home for Medina, then the two played together. Starting from playing dolls, cooking games, to various other games. All done both. Seeing the excitement of Arsyilla and Medina, Khaira and Metta smiled happily.
“Hopefully they can be together until adulthood as we both are Khai ..” said Metta who hopes Medina and Arsyilla can be friends like herself and Khaira.
Khaira smiled and nodded her head, “Iya .. can be right, My Bestie.” he said while laughing.
A little observing Khaira, Metta then smiled, “Khai, you fill again huh? Pregnant?” slowly tanyanya.
Understand it because at that time Khaira wore a semi-loose maternity clothes on her stomach, so that her stomach that began to poking has not been too tired. Slowly, Khaira smiled, “Emang why Ta? I'm fattening ya?”
“Euhm, yes ... Now I am just pregnant again.” she replied in the end.
Metta laughs instantly, “Yes for Khai, congratulations ... how many months has it been?” ask his best friend.
“19 Weeks. Almost half way nih.” Khaira replied quickly.
Seeing the exciting chat from the women, Radit and Dimas also joined. “Why Mother, how exciting to talk?” ask Dimas to Metta.
“This is a Loh Well .. we want to have another bang. Khaira pregnant again tuh.” said Metta while pointing Khaira.
As if not believing, Dimas also patted his friend's shoulder, “Serious Dit? Want to add this?”
“Iya Bro... pray smoothly until the day H.” said the man while smiling and looking at his wife with love.
“You guys don't add more boogey?” ask Khaira now to Metta and also Dimas.
Got such a question, Metta and Dimas looked at each other/Then Metta quickly shook his head, “Ngak.
“Why Ta?” asked Khaira who looked curious about the answer of her friend.
“I was traumatized to give birth to deh Khai, after all yesterday was Caesar right, said his doctor if you want to have another child at least 3 years away. However, I guess no longer deh .. Moreover yesterday I recovered a long time. I got scared.” Metta's story to Khaira.
Listening to the story of his friend, then Khaira also opened her voice, “Nothing, it is important that fellow Husband Wife talk a lot, how she wants. We each have our own plan. Although the child is only one, but if cared for properly, God willing in the future will be a successful person really. If me and Mas Radit would think that Syilla had a meeting at home.” this time it was Khaira's turn to think.
Talking about children, every couple has their own plans, right? There are those who want to have one child, some who follow the government program that is two enough children, and some who want to have many children because they say many children are rejekanya. It all comes back to each other's families.
Hearing Khaira's words, Metta nodded, “Iya .. Syillanya often lonely huh?”
“Not lonely, but I'm more willing to teach him to share with his brother. Social competence to be honed. If the cognitive and psychomotor is good, but there are parts that are lacking. Let him have a flower at home.” replied Khaira.
Metta then shook his head and laughed, “How long have you been like a Child and Family Psychologist Ya Khai.
“What coat anyway? Steady right? No, I just learned a lot about Ta .. After having Arsyilla, my life changed. I wanted her to know a lot of things so I could take care of her properly. Investing kindness to children does not hurt, Ta.” he told Metta.
Childcare is like an investment. We sow, plant, and there is a harvesting phase later on. Sowing goodness, values, to the teachings of faith, instilling good habit or good habitat for children, and in the future we will reap the rewards of what we reap and sow to the child every day. That's what Khaira often does at home with Radit. Sow and instill all that is good, and also both hope that in the future Arsyilla will grow into a good girl, a girl who can keep the good name of Mama and Papa, and also hope that in the future Arsyilla will grow up to be a good girl, a girl who can keep the good name of her mother and her father, and also the girl who will stop at nothing to pursue her dreams.
“You are great, Khai .. Mama Andalan really for Syilla and make her baby later.” praise Metta directly to Khaira.
“Ah, not really. I also have a lot of mistakes. The same is true.” Sahut Khaira.
“I actually want to chat like this with you, but have not had time to deliver. Just like you, my life also changed after having Medina. Waking up so early in the morning, open the eyes of the first held by the child, but all that I was just smiling anyway. Being a housewife is fun. Even if there was a dream that I left behind, but seeing Medina grow up healthy and happy like that, I felt happy.” Metta's turn to talk while smiling to see Medina who looks active and happy when playing with Arsyilla.
