The day that the mother would come, Galang handed over the remaining money from the sale of the necklace.
" Thank God."
In his heart Yumna gave thanks at last he had money to pay for his mother's travel money.
Yumna immediately put aside some of the money and placed it in a bag containing baby clothes.
The arrival of the mother, creates a distance between Yumna and Galang.
They can no longer joke around laughing or hugging.
It makes Yumna again feel the vibe of love when she delivers coffee to the workplace Galang. Galang's attitude also looks much sweeter than before.
Either because of the presence of the mother-in-law, or because she can no longer be close to Yumna intensely. But it was enough to make Yumna's heart happy.
There was a feeling of pleasure and also there was a feeling that could not be described when the mother came.
Yumna felt that there was a distance between her and mother. Perhaps it was because Yumna had never been with her mother before.
Yumna also tried to keep doing activities such as cooking and sweeping, because she felt sad if the mother did it.
" Where to buy? Indomaret is far?"Ask Mom.
" Away, but here there is a store near to live across the highway only. It's called the Beautiful Shop. Do you want to go there?"
" Far?"
" no. Just crossing the highway. If you want to go, let's go there on foot."
" Come on."
The day that was not too hot was finally Yumna and the mother walked to the beautiful shop that was across the street Yumna boarding house.
" Oh this. Sell anything?" Mom asked, when they had just entered the pretty shop."
" Mom see, I explained also free later will you be able to look around by yourself."
After quite a while, they finally finished with their respective groceries.
When you're gonna pay the bills. Yumna did not allow it and immediately gave some of her money to the cashier.
" Mommy, I've prepared spices for ari-ari needs later. I put everything in the fridge. And if in the flavor of the seasoning that I provide less Mother can buy it in the store that is behind Kost. Later I'll show you the way, but if for example the door of the boarding house on the left is opened, you better pass there so there is no need to walk around." Yumna.
" Where is the market, far away?"
" Far enough. If you want to go to the market anytime I'll deliver."
During the last few days of the end, Yumna was getting diligent about the morning walk, or just squatting and going up and down the stairs.
If Yumna felt a contraction, she squatted down or took him up and down the stairs.
But until H-2 HPL arrived, Yumna still did not feel the actual contraction.
" It hurts?" Ask sister-in-law when Yumna is taking a walk at night.
" Already, yet I still have not shown any signs of giving birth."
" Maybe tomorrow or the day after, look at her stomach's gone down once." Yumna Neighbors.
Yumna said only Amin from his neighbor.
In the morning at HPL, Yumna felt something coming out of her birth canal. But only a little. And because her pain was still not regular so Yumna let it be.
" It hurts?, do you want us to go to the clinic now?" Ask Galang.
" No."
" Why?"
" Because my contractions are still not regular. We'll be there later in the afternoon, because later in the afternoon is the last control schedule on schedule." Yumna.
" Are you sure?" Ask Galang make sure.
" Yes." Yeah."
" Of course I'll get back to work, see me if you want to be escorted to the clinic." Galang.
" Yes." Yeah."
That day, Yumna felt no appetite. And in the afternoon, Yumna and Galang went to the clinic.
Ilmi does not come because she is afraid that her grandmother will go home if Ilmi stays away.
" Now the HPL is ma'am.." Say Midwife.
" Yes." Yeah."
" A complaint?" Ask the midwife another one.
" L3ndir came out early this morning and a little d4rah. But the pain is still not regular."
" Come mom, get checked out first."
Yumna followed the midwife, and lay with her heart on the bed.
" The head has entered once, just wait maybe a little while longer. If you can later ultrasound yes ma'am, to see the condition of amniotic fluid. Because today is his HPL."
" Good mom."
After you have finished getting an explanation from the midwife. Yumna came out of the examination room and went straight to Galang.
" How, has the midwife told you to bring baby things?" Ask Galang.
" Hmm, when it's her approximate birth day but why hasn't this baby come out yet?" Galang said as he stroked Yumna's stomach.
" Patience, maybe tonight. Maybe the baby doesn't want a lot of people to know when he's going to be born." Yumna.
" I hope so. So what now we go home. What do I want USG"
" Just go home, I'm afraid that Ilmi will cry for us. About USg, tomorrow night. Today we wait, who knows in the baby will come out later tonight."
" Yes, come on."
At night, Yumna began to feel contractions with regular frequency.
But Yumna did not panic, because she also had not re-issued birth signs as before.
Nina was still able to sleep peacefully, but at exactly 12 pm, Yumna woke up because her stomach was tight and much more painful than before.
Yumna got up carefully and headed for the bathroom, she felt that something was coming out of her birth canal.
And sure enough, the clear lend3r accompanied d4rah out. But Yumna was still able to endure the pain. And for 2 hours Yumna endured the constant pain that was increasingly agonizing.
Until the mother woke up because she realized that Yumna went back and forth from the bed to the bathroom.
" Why?" Ask Mom.
" My waist hurts a lot."
" Come here and sit down and let Mom massage you."
Yumna said she sat next to her and Mom started massaging Yumna.
" Is it better?"
" Yes, it feels so much more."
The comfort that Yumna felt only lasted for a few minutes.
The pain came back and further tormented Yumna. Until Galang woke up.
" What's the matter?, why did you wake up at 3 in the morning."
" My stomach and waist hurt."
" Maybe Yumna wants to give birth." Say Mother.
" Do you want us to go to the clinic now?" Ask Galang.
Yumna closed her eyes, enduring the pain before finally saying yes.
" Yes I'm ready for it." Said Galang who went straight into the bathroom, not shower. Just brushing your teeth and washing your face.
Mom then helped Yumna get out the bag she was going to carry.
Chequek...
" Lo tumben out, do you want to give birth?" Ask the neighbor.
" Like so. Come on, please deliver. I'll borrow my brother's car soon "
Galang then knocks on her sister's bedroom door carefully and says she needs to borrow a car because Yumna is about to give birth.
" Have you been sick?" Asked sister-in-law, when she came to look at Yumna's room.
" Yes, it looks like Yumna has been in pain since 12. Because I saw Yumna go back and forth to the bathroom. And look, even the negligee that Yumna was wearing was already full of dar4h." Mother's light, while Yumna was only silent because she endured excruciating pain.
" Good luck giving birth to her."
Yumna could only reply to the prayers from the sister-in-law with a smile. This pain really made Yumna unable to speak. Pain that is many times the pain that Yumna felt when giving birth to Ilmi.
" The car's ready, come on." Said Mr. Budi.
" Where's ilmi?" Ask brother Galang.
" It's sleeping." Answer mother.
" Mom just come with Yumna to the clinic, Ilmi let me take care." Said Gilang's brother.
" Let's go along, ma'am, who knows Galang needs to take turns looking after Yumna." Imbuh sister-in-law.
" But there are only 1 person who can wait." Galang.
" Yes try it, who knows, because it's night so it's 2 people waiting." Imbuh sister-in-law.
" Yes, come on." Galang.
While Yumna can only be silent while enduring the pain that many times over.
Mom immediately put on a long shirt and a veil, and carefully led Yumna into the car.
The car was moving at a moderate speed towards the healthy earth clinic.
