Having a baby actually changes a woman's life, which is what Khaira and Metta feel. If Khaira prefers to prioritize family, while being able to teach even if only once a week. While Metta chose to be a housewife after having Medina. Both share their experiences.
“When I was pregnant with Medina, I was still working. Continue the time to give birth as a teacher will be able to leave pregnant for 3 months. 3 Months to give birth and care for Medina is very delicious. From morning until morning again held only Medina, fulltime Mom is the term. Keep a week before my break that brother started to mellow. Sad if you leave Medina how, then how her ASI, so dilemma really. Many thoughts until the production of ASIKu dropped a lot. My husband finally told me to do what was my priority. Starting to think, I finally decided to resign. Now so fulltime mom at home.” he told Khaira.
Listening to the story of his best friend, Khaira nodded and smiled, “That's the dilemma of Mothers who previously worked, then had children. Not infrequently many young mothers who give up the dream to become a fulltime Mom at home. However, there is nothing we can do fulltime parenting, know what growth and development is like.” said Khaira encouraging her best friend.
“Iya really really ... everyone, maybe every woman kayak us yes there is a dream that must be released now. You have no Khai? Can everything run normally because you can still teach right?” ask him to Khaira.
Speaking of letting go of dreams, Khaira has actually let go of those dreams several times. The stage to pursue a career, becoming a Young Lecturer with more teaching hours, the opportunity to become a Field Practice Instructor, and a Scriptural Instructor, all of which Khaira has released. Slowly Khaira smiled, “Of course there is .. I also let go of my dream for now. However, there is a husband who supports you and gives me the opportunity to pursue him at a later time. So, maybe now I release it, but other times I will pursue.” she said by occasionally looking at her husband who was accompanying Arsyilla play.
“At least you are good, Khai .. You can still teach even if not full time.” said Metta who considered that at least Khaira is much better.
Khaira smiled, “Iya .. I can still teach once a week. However, I have also experienced phases to release my dreams. That's natural, everyone will experience it.” said Khaira in the end.
“What is Khai?” ask Metta to his best friend.
Sighing a little, Khaira finally told her, “A few weeks ago, I got an offer from the Head of Prodi to become a Field Guiding Lecturer and also a Lecturer in Encryption, but I refused. Actually it's a really good opportunity for me, only I'm just now pregnant, there was a history of miscarriage as well. So, I prefer to let go and focus on my pregnancy first.” Khaira told Metta.
“O .. actually a good opportunity huh. When else try, you are still young already trusted to be a Field Instructor and Encryption Adjunct Lecturer. Calculated good actually make your career level.” said Metta.
It is undeniable actually, but indeed all of that must be released for something that he prioritizes in life. Now the priority is the husband, the child, and the household. From the beginning her commitment was to prioritize the household and be a companion for her husband.
“Sama like you Ta .. I also let go of my dreams really. Not just one, there are some dreams that I deliberately let go now. Just like you too, seeing Syilla who grew up healthy and happy, as a Mama I was so happy.” the story told Metta.
That is the friendship. Even though the two of them rarely meet, but when they can meet many stories and curses that can be shared with each other.
“Mother ... let's play Medina, Bun.” Medina suddenly came and invited Metta to accompany her to play. With pleasure, Medina was joined by Medina and Arsyilla who were playing ball bath.
Khaira also joined them all, the pregnant woman then stood next to her husband. He laughed at the excitement of Arsyilla and Medina playing together.
“You sit just a darling .. tired later your waist.” said Radit who asked his wife to sit down. Besides his wife is two-bodied and prone to pain in the waist.
Khaira nodded, “Iya .. was already sitting there with Metta. Tuh, Syilla is very happy.” he said while pointing at Arsyilla.
“Syilla, the ball was divided by Medina dong. Sharing is sharing, yuk.” he said asking that Arsyilla divide small balls with various colors.
Hearing her Mama's words, Arsyilla slowly gave some balls to Medina who was smaller than her.
“It's Dina .. I love the ball five yes. What color ball do you want?” ask Arsyilla while offering to Medina want a ball of any color.
“Red, Yellow, Green, and Blue.” replied Medina so cutely.
The cuteness of Medina makes Khaira feel anxious, then kiss the cheek of Chubby Medina, “Dina is very funny anyway.” he said this time to Medina.
While Khaira laughed, and gently rubbed the top of Arsyilla's head, “Iya, Syilla Unfortunately Mama .. Mama also Iannnggg Syilla. The medina is funny, right?” ask him to Arsyilla.
“Syilla is not funny Ma?” arsyilla asked suddenly to her mother.
Khaira realizes that Arsyilla may be jealous and does not want her mother to kiss and praise the cute Medina. Khaira quickly hugged her daughter, allowing a moment to hug Arsyilla. Until then, Khaira unraveled her embrace, “Make Mama, Syilla must also be funny dong...but right, besides Syilla many are also cute and cute children. According to Syilla, it's funny Medina not?”
Arsyilla nodded, “Iya Ma .. amusing.” Arsyilla's answer in the end.
“If the Medina is funny, Syilla can hug and love the Medina, but ask permission first to Om Dimas and Aunty Metta. Slow down too dear.” Khaira's advice to Arsyilla.
Quickly Arsyilla then approached Dimas and Metta, “Om Dim and Aunty Ta, can not Syilla hug Dina?”
Dimas and Metta both nodded, “Bby kok..”
Then Arsyilla hugged Medina who was shorter in height than her. The behavior of children who are funny to make Radit, Khaira, Metta, and Dimas both laugh.
“Syilla wants to be a big sister? Sis Syilla sister girl or guy?” ask Dimas to Arsyilla.
“Pa, her sister Syilla chick or Pa guy?” arsyilla asked with a funny expression to Radit.
“Insyaallah dear guy.” replied Radit briefly.
“Kata Papa, insyallah guy, Om.” Arsyilla answer that is so funny to make Dimas laugh.
“Keren kamu Bro, you really guys are complete yes, already complete.” he said while looking at Radit.
Metta also saw Khaira, “Serius Khai? The debay guy?” ask him to Khaira.
Khaira smiled, a little down looking at her stomach, “Insyaallah .. yesterday USG time said the doctor anyway there is Monas, meaning he is a guy. I hope it doesn't change until I give birth. I also do not think, because I and Mas Radit want to be given a girl or a guy who does not matter Mas.”
Radit then nodded, “Iya .. My wife and I do not have a special request for children to be girls or boys. Want a girl or boy the same, but just yesterday check up pregnancy and in-USG turned out baby boy yah grateful. Thank God, because God equipped our family with boys.” he said.
“Allah Mas Bro is getting wiser day anyway .. seriously, good thing Khaira who is your wife, not the ono.” chirped Dimas suddenly.
“Who is Yah?” ask Metta who seems curious.
Dimas quickly shook his head, it was not good to have to expose old wounds and it was Khaira, “Ngak ... there was no kok.” Dimas replied with a strange smile.
While Khaira just smile and act ordinary. Although it is undeniable that she then thought about her past which was quite bitter at the beginning of her marriage with her husband first.
