Suppose that... (Turnable Time)
Just a dream
Yumna woke up from her sleep.
" Oh my God, it turns out I was just a dream." Pekik Yumna's.
He looked around, apparently feeling tired after the trip from Bali to Java. Makes Yumna dream as if she's back in time.
Yumna decided to go back to sleep when she saw the clock still showing at 02:00 in the morning.
Yumna was crying. Lamenting fate. Yumna used to think that the Galang family would make her feel the warmth of a family that Yumna had never obtained since childhood.
But it turns out that Yumna was wrong, this family actually made Yumna increasingly feel that a happy life never sided with Yumna.
That morning....
As usual, Yumna woke up at 5 am to walk², while shopping for vegetables.
Yumna always diligently walked the path. This month is the estimated month of labor.
" Jalan² nduk." Greet the neighbors who found Yumna.
" Yes ma'am." said Yumna politely.
" His stomach is already looking down, maybe soon giving birth.
" It's still 9 months old."
After walking far enough from home.
Yumna headed for the greengrocer who had just arrived, after finishing buying some side dishes and vegetables. Yumna's back home.
Arriving home, Yumna washed her hands and feet directly into the kitchen and began cooking.
" What cooking?" Ask Mom.
" Cooked Sop, tempeh and cob fish. Sambal's patched."
"Yes, not too much onion. onions are expensive." ketus Mom when she saw Yumna was peeling onions for soup.
Yumna just smiled to cover up her crying.
I don't know why but, this pregnancy makes Yumna's mood very sensitive. Yumna's mind seemed so fragile that the high-pitched words alone had deeply hurt Yumna.
As Yumna finished cooking and prepared to take a shower. He overheard a voice from his mother-in-law who was behind the house.
" Yes. later if his son was born to be here aja, wife Galang to come to Bali, find work to get money." Samar² mother's voice, but still can be heard clearly by Yumna.
" ------"
I don't know what was said by the person who was inviting Ibu Galang to talk. Yumna could not hear him clearly, Yumna could only hear the voice of Galang's mother who was indeed speaking in a high and loud tone.
" Of course I'll take care of him. Let her work, get money. So every month can send me money to meet the needs of his son." Mother's voice again, benar² makes Yumna's chest tight.
After the husband's attitude changed, now Mum too.
Yumna began to feel that she remained here only because she was pregnant with Galang's child. And felt that his marriage with Galang could survive until now because Yumna was pregnant.
Yumna decided to take a bath using a hose, so that her mother-in-law did not hear the sound of water splashing.
And once again, Yumna was crying.
Two weeks later, I went home.
No preferential treatment, everything goes as usual. Yumna was crying in the bathroom.
Yumna felt himself right like a stranger who was only accommodated because it was containing the blood of Galang flesh.
" When your son is born, sleep with me." Mother Speaks to Galang.
" Whatever." Saying something that doesn't seem to care.
" Later if the new cry is given to his mother."
" Later Mother will accompany Yumna during labor." Pinta Galang's.
" How can I, yes you. You're her husband." Ketus.
" I'm dizzy when I see blood."
" I'm more." Mommy Mouthpiece.
" Keep who will accompany Yumna" asked Galang.
" Yes, I'll say the same to Bude. Let him accompany your wife to give birth." Say to Mom in a cold tone.
Yumna who was inside the room could only hear two people arguing.
It felt like Yumna wanted to run, but where?
****************
A few days after that..
At night, the,
Yumna is very difficult to sleep at all.
His stomach tightened, and occasionally felt contractions.
After feeling the pain is getting stronger and there is a sign² will give birth.
Yumna asked to be delivered to the Midwife's house.
" Slow², my stomach hurts." Yumna said as they were on their way to the midwife's house.
After arriving at the home of the midwife. At 01:30 in the morning.
" It's opening 3, here it is, no need to go home." Said the Midwife while telling Yumna to lie down to the left.
What a very pleasant contraction, Yumna felt nauseous and always vomited.
Let alone food, drink water or warm tea, only up to the throat.
" Mommy how is this?" Speak to one of the nurses when the midwife arrives.
" Why?"
" This mother always vomited, was given a drink she had vomited."
" Then in the infusion. If not, then you have no energy. On the infusion yes nduk." Said the midwife while looking at Yumna pitya.
Maybe the midwife felt sorry that Yumna was alone in the room. I don't know where. He only briefly looked at Yumna then walked out of the room.
At 4:30, before dawn.
Yumna felt something rushing out of her birth canal.
" Mom.. like her I'm wetting." Yumna said to the nurse who was sitting and closed her eyes.
The nurse immediately examined Yumna.
" Not mbak, this is water the water has broken. Hurry up and call the midwife."
One nurse was seen running to call the midwife.
" It's fully open. Let's set the breath." The midwife gave aba aba.
Chequek.. Bude Galang is seen coming in.
" Nduk bude can only accompany you until 5, because bude has to cook." Bude's whisper that Yumna nods back to.
Yumna started to push..
" Mistake wrong, not push it."
" Yes, it's good..."
" Keep pushing.."
"Yumna strained with all her might, until unwittingly the infusion needle in Yumna's hand came off.
Limply.
Yumna felt very weak.
" Oh, the infusion comes off, quickly plug it in again." shouted the midwife.
" Don't close your eyes, open your eyes." The midwife shouted as she saw Yumna close her eyes.
" Nduk sorry yes, bude has to go home, is it okay² ya left?" Bisik bude who was returned was nod by Yumna.
In that room, Yumna fought life and death alone. Trying to give birth to a sweet baby whose presence may not be expected.
But for Yumna, she was everything. He is his strength.
" Hurry and call her husband." Said the midwife, when she saw that Yumna had run out of energy.
" No, ma'am."
" Forcibly fast."
Not long after, the door came in.
The midwife immediately told him to support Yumna's body, so that the position of Yumna's head was higher than the stomach.
Yumna, who was half conscious, did not hear what Galang was talking about.
The divorce of tears just came out, as if to witness the struggle of Yumna gave birth to her first baby.
With the last remaining energy, Yumna managed to give birth to a baby girl.
CUPS..
Yumna felt a kiss land on her forehead.
After the umbilical cord is cut, the baby is taken to a table not far from the Yumna bed for cleaning.
" Mom, please come out first, let's go out. Later if you want to come in." Ketus field, which saw the mother Galang directly enter when hearing the sound of crying baby.
Yumna saw her mother-in-law coming straight out.
" Here it is.. Put the baby to bed here. I've arranged it." Enthusiastic Mother Galang, when Yumna and her baby just came home from the midwife's house.
" Asalamualaikum's chat.."
" Where's the baby.."
" Yes, where's his granddaughter."
" Hati² nduk, if sitting. You just gave birth."
" Where's the baby..."
The neighbors began to crowded, wanting to see new members of the Galang family.
" Lo kok baby here, the mattress is low. Her mother will still be recovering, indeed she can immediately squat." Said one of the neighbors who came to see the baby who was put to sleep in the front room.
Yumna and Galang Room.
" Yes, the baby is sleeping with me. Her mother let her sleep in the middle room, her mattress is high." Said Galang Mother.
" What's in formula milk?, not breast milk." said another neighbor.
" Yes if I cry, I love her mother. Later, sleep with me again."
" Eventually, your wish is achieved, want a granddaughter." Say neighbor again.
" Yes, I'm so happy."
The taste was so painful for Yumna, still in the womb as not expected. Already born, wanting to master even Yumna had no chance of holding her daughter.
Yumna could only sit and watch the changing neighbors come to see her daughter.
Night time ...
" Well, the baby's mattress just put it in here. So, after drinking the breast milk, I can just put it down." Yumna said to Galang when she was giving ASI in the room.
" Why sleep in front of me?" Ask Galang.
" Yes, that's okay. Just let me give her an breast."
Without saying any more, Galang immediately came out of the room to pick up the baby mattress in the front room.
" Lo, where's the bed going?" Mother asked, when Galang took the baby mattress from the front room.
" Let the baby sleep with his mother." Glow sound.
The beautiful baby was given the name, Akifa Ilmi Putri.
And three days is the age of baby Ilmi.
Ilmi's a little fussy at night. Maybe the impact of ASI that has not come out completely.
" Why in formula milk?, like Risa." Mom said when she saw baby Ilmi kept crying.
" It's okay², this is commonplace, because it's only been breastfeeding for 3 days. Later breast milk also becomes abundant if often breastfed right on the baby." Said a posyandu cadre called in to help bathe the baby.
" Heeeeeeh!, yes long if you wait for her fast. Can² she's starving" Mother said as she passed.
" It's okay, don't give up. Keep giving it to your son." Speak to Yumna.
Various herbs, peanuts²an and leaves²nan already Yumna eat, in order to speed up asi.
Until Aunt Yumna suggested to buy capsules at the pharmacy.
" Buying formula milk. Poor your son." Mother Speaks to Galang.
" Why formula milk?" Ketus Galang's. Yumna just kept quiet.
" On formula milk alone, until your milk comes out." Say it again.
" Whatever." Yumna said without looking towards Galang.
A few moments later....
Galang returned with a bottle of milk and a large box size of 1kg for Ilmi.
" This gives it to her." Galang.
Yumna also tried to give a bottle that already contained milk, but the baby could not suck from the bottle.
I had to use a spoon.
The next day....
" His body where red²." Said the cadre when going to bathe the baby.
" Don't know mom."
" Maybe it's a soap allergy, try replacing the others."
" This is mom.." Yumna gives baby bar soap.
A few days later, Ilmi's body still had a lot of red spots.
" It's still red² his body. whereas it has been replaced soap, this is also 2 days."
" Is it because I gave her S*M milk ?" Yumna.
" Lo, why formula milk?"
" Ordered. I can't what mom, I'm just here a daughter-in-law whose opinion has never been heard." Lirih Yumna while slightly sobbing.
The midwife strengthens Yumna, then tells all if Ilmi is likely allergic to formula milk.
After stopping formula feeding, ASI Yumna is abundant.
That certainly made Yumna feel happy.
After the navel. I decided to go back to Bali.
Two weeks have passed....
" Mom, when is Ilmi's cell?" ask Yumna politely.
" Why?, where are you taking her?" Mother with a cold tone.
" I want to take her home to my house, to take care of the move ID card so I can take care of the deed."
" Oh, one more week isn't what². I'm going to the cooking kitchen. If you just sit down, it won't ripen the side dish to eat." Cold mother, then passed leaving Yumna.
I know, it's a satire for Yumna, because during childbirth. Yumna can't cook.
Two days after the show.
Yumna takes baby Ilmi home, and starts taking care of the files to move ID cards.
" When are you there?" Ketus Galang in the phone connection.
" Waiting for my files to finish."
" When?"
" Approximate 1 month away.".
" Then you'll be there for a month. My mother was alone at home. You have no brain. Go home and stay at your house as good as you can." Ketus Galang's.
" Well what's wrong with me being here?, my sister also has no one to take care of."
" You're a fucking wife. Always argue with what the husband says. Want to be your unfaithful wife ha?, there is no devotion at all."
Tut's.
The phone is turned off one-sided.
Yumna began to get used to the attitude of ketus and fierce Galang when he returned home himself.
Humiliation, insults. It had become a daily meal when Yumna went home on her own.
Unlike when Yumna was at home Galang. He never gets angry or shows the same attitude as when Yumna was in his house.
Something very difficult to explain.
Two Weeks Yumna was in that house. And today Yumna decided to return to the house of Galang.
And sure enough, Galang's attitude softened again after Yumna returned to her home.
Drrrttt drrrtt...
Call from Yumna's mother.
Yumna who had no power to resist was disappointed, finally told about Galang who always behaved badly when Yumna came home.
" You are patient. Wait for Mama to come home. You're also in a hurry to marry someone you don't know." Say Mother.
Yumna then realized the biggest mistake was to accept Galang's proposal too quickly.
"If time could be turned back". Lirih Yumna who began to regret his decision to marry Galang.
" Don...oek ..."
Yumna woke up again when she heard the whining of Akifa.
