Yumna and Galang heard the sound of footsteps approaching the room.
" Excuse me can his mother wake up?, wow it turns out that mother can wake up and can walk." Said the midwife with a smile when she saw Yumna was able to walk, although still with careful and slow steps like a snail.
" Yes already." Answer Yumna.
" Let's just move to that room over there." Said the Midwife and immediately picked up the sleeping baby Yumna on the bed.
" You are helped to hold the mother, yes, the goods can be taken after delivering the mother." Say Midwife.
Galang nodded then led Yumna until they were in a special room for the mother who had just given birth.
" Slowly, yes.." Said the midwife when she saw Galang who was trying to hold Yumna to sit on the bed.
" I'll get the stuff first." Say to midwife.
" Oh yes please. Did the baby get ASI?" Ask midwife.
" It's been."
" I put it here, Mom. And you can rest while you wait for the doctor to check on you and the baby."
" Yes thank you."
Shortly after the midwife left, Galang came with all of Yumna's belongings.
" Well here the bed is two, it looks like it's one for me. I can finally rest."
Galang immediately lay on the bed after he put down Yumna's bag.
Yumna then contacted Ilmi via video call.
Ilmi looks very enthusiastic when she finds out that her sister was born.
Then after Yumna was satisfied to make a call to Ilmi and her mother. It was Galang's turn to get a call from his mother and sister.
Many babbles were spoken by Galang's mother, especially because Galang said that Yumna continued to cry while having contractions.
" Definitely during pregnancy your wife mostly eats sweet, so during childbirth so just cry."
" How not to cry the sick many times, also in my birth canal always come out red spots like during menstruation." Yumna said, although Yumna did not speak directly to the in-laws but it seems that the mother-in-law heard it. Evidently because the mother-in-law replied that Yumna experienced contractions commonly referred to in the Javanese term 'Banyon Geteh which means, the birth canal will be many red spots like during menstruation. And that's what makes the contractions hurt many times over.
Not wanting to respond too much to the words of the mother-in-law. Yumna tries to shift her mind by realizing that her daughter's birthday coincides with Mother's Day.
" I wish our second child was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl." Galang.
" Yes." Yeah." Nina's Speech.
" Maybe indeed our sustenance is only given by girls huh?, there is a family that is only given by boys."
" Yes, everyone is given a test. Either the test does not have children, either the test is given abundant wealth but very difficult to get children. Or with a lot of kids but they don't have money. Whatever the test, we must be thankful that God still entrusts us to raise a child."
" Yes." Yeah."
Not finished their conversation, Galang got a call from his friend, who said that his friend would come to visit there.
" Well you don't papa I stay alone for a few hours?, because I have to go home to bury the ari-ari from our baby. I'm gonna go home with my friend, and come back with a bike so we have a vehicle if we need anything."
" Yes, bring me some snacks and milk."
" all right. I'll say goodbye to the midwife for a minute."
" All right."
Not long after the return of Galang. The doctor and midwife came and examined Yumna and the baby.
" Mom are there any complaints?"
" Yes, my stomach is sometimes like a contraction."
" It's okay mom, it's normal because the stomach is in the stage of returning to its original shape. So you'll probably experience symptoms like giving birth a few times in a few hours."
After a long period of examination of Yumna and the baby.
The midwife and the doctor were also very happy. Yumna saw the doctor and the midwife enter the room to the right of Yumna's room.
" Hmm, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one giving birth today." Lirih Yumna's.
" Lo, how come you bring food too?" Yumna asked when Galang came with a packet of food.
" Yes, I said goodbye to the midwife. The midwife said if lunch and dinner are not provided so we have to buy it ourselves. Therefore, Mother brought us food."
" Oh like that, then did Ilmi cry?"
" Crying for a while, then I said that if Ilmi comes along then her sister will not be allowed to go home by the doctor. So he's quiet."
" Oh..."
Galang and Yumna decided to go back to rest because Yumna was also still not allowed to do too much.
" Well, it's been over 6 hours. But why aren't me and the baby bathed?. Long time after I gave birth to Ilmi and it's been 6 hours we bathed."
" Maybe later, the one who gave birth here is three people with you. And when I came back I also saw a pregnant woman who seemed like she was also about to give birth."
" Oh, maybe."
" Yes, eat this I'll smoke outside for a while."
" Yes." Yeah."
After the meal, Yumna chose to lie down again, waiting for the midwife to come back.
However, it had been almost 2 hours Yumna waited, there was no sign the midwife would come back.
Then when Galang came into the room.
Yumna asked Galang to ask the midwife if their baby would be bathed or not.
Galang immediately went to the guard post midwife.
" Said the midwife, the baby will be bathed tomorrow when she gets home. And his mother can take a shower."
" Good God, why didn't you say that earlier. If it turns out that I can take a shower from earlier then I will immediately take a shower. Because my body feels so sticky."
" Battle, I'll take care of our daughter."
Yumna slowly went into the bathroom. And start the ritual bath. Yumna felt very fresh, although not even 1 day she gave birth but it feels Yumna has not bathed for days.
After taking a bath, Galang helped attach the belt to Yumna's stomach.
Not long after, midwives came and went in to deliver the vitamins.
" Lo, have you had a bath?"
" Yes, I can't stand the sultry mother midwife."
" It's okay if you don't have complaints like dizziness. And this I brought Mother medicine and vitamins taken 2 times a day after meals yes. I put it here." Yeah."
The midwife placed the medicine on the table next to Yumna's bed.
" Thank you mom."
" Same same. Then excuse me, if there is a complaint you can call the officer who is there."
" Yes." Yeah."
...
At night, the little baby was a little fussy, because his breathing sounded groggy.
" Maybe because I didn't get any sunlight." Galang.
" Yes, and maybe also this sound is the result of dirt attached to our baby. I cleaned up a lot of red spots on our baby's body."
That night, Galang helped to put to sleep and soothe their slightly fussy baby due to his breathing.
Yumna, who was worried, asked Galang to call a midwife to check on their baby if the baby was okay.
" It's okay mom, this is normal to happen early in the baby's birth. If no water comes out of the baby's nose then there's nothing to worry about."
" Thank God then because I'm afraid."
" It's okay Mom, if the baby suddenly cries try Mom tilted to the left. Or instead try to make the baby feel comfortable."
" Yes, thank you mom."
" Same same."
The midwife came out, and before long Galang came in.
Galang asked Yumna's permission to meet and accompany his friend who came to visit again.
Next morning...,
Galang brought their baby and asked the midwife if the baby could sunbathe or not.
And after knowing that the baby can sunbathe. Galang immediately brought the baby to sunbathe behind Yumna's room.
Yumna decided to take a bath before they finally returned home.
After taking a bath, Yumna noticed that there was already food on the table. Yumna then immediately finished the meal and took the medicine given by the midwife last night.
Occasionally Yumna peeked out of the window, whether Galang had returned from sunbathing or not.
Because Galang had not returned and Yumna was feeling a little bored, Yumna finally chose to pack her clothes and belong to their baby.
Yumna left only one clothing stel that will be used to go home later.
Not long after Galang came and immediately handed the baby to Yumna, Yumna immediately gave the baby breast milk.

" Excuse me, ma'am, in a few moments the baby will be bathed so please get the clothes ready." Speak Midwife
" Yes." Yeah."
After waiting for about 30 minutes, the midwife finally returned with a tub filled with warm water. Then where carefully Yumna gave the baby to the midwife to be bathed.
Not to forget, the midwife taught Yumna how to bathe the right baby.
" Ohya ma'am, about when we can go home because I have to call uncle to pick us up." Galang.
" Have you been checked by a doctor last night or not?"
" Not yet." Yumna jawap.
" If it has not meant waiting for the mother and baby to be examined by a doctor, the doctor will come in 2 hours."
" All right."
..
Yumna and Galang have been waiting for more than 2 hours. But there is no sign that the doctor will come here to check on the baby and Yumna.
Galang who was tired of being in the clinic chose to go out and ask the midwife whether her doctor had come or not.
" How?" Yumna asked when she saw Galang back.
" His doctor has come but is still examining the other baby."
" Hmm, I told you that maybe the doctor has come but because not only am I giving birth here, maybe the doctor is still walking to another room but you don't believe me." Ketus Yumna's.
" Yes yes."
Not long after, the long-awaited doctor finally entered Yumna's room and immediately examined Yumna and her baby.
After Yumna and her baby were examined by the doctor, the midwife told Galang to take the KIA book and the parcel the clinic gave to the baby.
Galang returns with Ilmi as well as his mother who came to pick up Yumna and the baby.
Apparently Galang had called 1 hour ago and said that they were going home.
Then Galang carefully led Yumna into the car, while the baby was carried by Yumna's mother.
Arriving at the boarding place, the neighbors of the boarding house immediately flocked to see new members of the Galang family.
Slowly Yumna sat on the bed, and began to answer the neighbors' questions about the impression of giving birth.
Yumna also told me everything she had been through, starting from illness. Until the baby who turned out to be bathed only when going home.
At night, Galang can sleep peacefully because the mother who holds their baby when they wake up.
Days change, weeks change. And it does not feel now the age of the baby named Akifa about 40 days.
A few days after the Akifa baby slingshot. Mom came back to Java because Arumi had called her repeatedly and asked when she would come home.
Yumna's feelings are a mixture of sadness and happiness.
On the other hand she was sad because her mother was going home.
But on the other hand he is also happy, because he no longer needs to see the mother who continues to do homework.
Yumna felt bad if the mother continued to do the homework that was supposed to be done by Yumna.
" Be careful, take good care of yourself." Mommy said when she was going on a trip.
" Yes, and I'm sorry if I could just give mom a little money."
" It's okay."
" Tomorrow here again ma'am." Ilmi.
" Yes..."
Ilmi waved her hand as the car driven by Mother left the boarding yard.
Then Yumna carefully brought Akifa and Ilmi back into the room.
Months pass....
Somehow but since the return of the mother Akifa became very fussy especially at 1 or 2 in the morning.
That made Yumna upset.
Moreover, Galang never wanted to help him to carry Akifa.
Once upon a time Yumna asked Galang for help to replace her holding Akifa for a while.
However, Galang was actually angry and said that he was very tired of working.
Since that incident even though Akifa was very fussy, Yumna never again developed Galang. Except, if Galang himself were to wake up and offer to carry Akifa.
Yumna often cried no less Akifa who was still fussy even though he was carried. Not infrequently Yumna hit, even with the soft feet of Akifa, so that makes the cry of Akifa even louder.
Does this include the baby blues??
Yumna tried to hold back her anger, but sometimes she could not hold back her emotions when Akifa was still fussy every night, while Yumna was very tired because all day doing homework also accompanied Ilmi to study.
Plus Galang who seems not to want to know if Akifa is always fussy at night. Makes Yumna cry a lot while riding Akifa. And sometimes venting his frustration by beating himself up.
