Tama And Ratna
33. Desire

Tama and Ratna just arrived home after a trip from their hometown in Java. The day had already started the night when Tama and Ratna arrived. Ratna had not even had time to take off her hoodie, she hurriedly walked into the bathroom after which stepped into the kitchen to cook hot water for both baths.

Tama was relaxing her legs sitting on the sofa when a call came in. Tama thought for some time before finally picking up the call. The incoming call from one of his subordinates, Arya his name. New boy moved from Sumedang 3 months ago.

“Night commander, sorry to disturb but I need a lot of help nih,” he said even before Tama had time to say hello.

“Why?” ask Tama.

“Pak, my wife wants a birth. Can I ask your wife for help, no? It's so bad, I'm confused how to. Want to be taken to the hospital afraid the baby was born on the street,” said Arya heard directly by Ratna who is now starting to pack some equipment that she might need.

“Ok, I'm there now.”

Tama and Ratna went straight to Arya's house. The location is not far away, and because their two motorcycles have not been used for too long for the motorcycle manasin used to finally Tama and Ratna chose to just walk there.

Once at Arya's house, there were already some neighbors who panicked and did not know how to. Ratna stepped inside the room and directly checked the condition of her wife Arya while Tama outside waited with the others.

“Do not panic yes, set his breath slowly. The baby is healthy, the position is also right,” said Ratna before stepping outside the room to first calm Arya.

“This Mas Arya huh? His wife is fine. After this I helped. Mas Arya is now ready for warm water just to bathe baby sister later,” said Ratna in a calm but firm tone.

Tama was the first time this saw firsthand how Ratna was working. Honestly she fell in love, hearing Ratna say her patient's condition and calm the patient's family let her know if Ratna was a good doctor. Even when Tama hears Ratna's voice helping Arya's wife on the sidelines of the moans it makes Tama unconsciously daydream herself. If one day Ratna is in that position, he promises to always support Ratna. No matter what happens, he will always be by his side.

It was not until half an hour that the little girl was crying. After struggling with his mother he was finally born safely. Ratna slowly helped clear the baby's breathing path and called the father to cut the umbilical cord.

Ratna placed the baby on the chest of her mother who was already crying. He could also see if the new parents were now crying. Arya did not even hesitate to kiss his wife in front of Ratna. He looked so happy to see his wife succeed in the fight.

Finished bathing the baby Ratna handed it to the father and then he stepped out of the room to wash his hands also gave a little privacy for the little family. Ratna walked to the terrace to tell the neighbors who came also to Tama about the condition of the baby and his mother.

“Mas, help me call an ambulance can? I forgot my phone,” Ratna said.

Tama then called the ambulance according to Ratna's orders. He let Ratna do the talking because Ratna knew the situation. Shortly thereafter ambulances from the hospital came and took patients. Ratna gave instructions to the new officer she let go of the ambulance.

Arya approached Ratna and thanked her. Arya even offers help to wash Ratna's clothes that are already dirty because of blood.

“This time let me alone wash it is okay. It is better now Mas Arya is ready to follow the wife to the hospital. Equally I say yes, if there is anything do not hesitate to ask for help,” said Ratna.

Arya once again thanked Tama and Ratna. Both of them are now walking back home. Tama took the initiative to bring Ratna's bag.

“Why did you refuse Arya time to say you want to wash your hoodie, deck?” ask Tama.

“Mas forgot what it was, I just used a Mas tanktop. If I do continue to open my hoodie so dong spectacle,” said Ratna a little whisper.

“Oh yes Mas forgot,” Tama said with a laugh.

“Lagian this hoodie darling. Mending I wash myself and I make sure he is good. I'm afraid she's broken,” Ratna said as she stroked the tip of her hoodie arm.

“Yang tuh pet hoodie or who loves hayo,” goda Tama.

“Emang who loves you? This guy Ratna bought himself,” Ratna said.

Tama mandengus, “Your likes are Dek,” said Tama then walked leaving Ratna behind.

Ratna chased after Tama, she was afraid of being left behind. The atmosphere was quiet and Ratna was still a heavy parno because of her conversation with Mr and Pakde yesterday. Upon arriving at home, Ratna immediately removed her hoodie and soaked it in soapy water. While waiting, Ratna took a shower first. After she took a shower, she stepped back into the wash to clean her hoodie.

She coughed her hoodie rather strongly, she also brushed some of the spots where the stains were quite stubborn.

Tama then walked up to Ratna, then crouched down next to her to observe more closely what the mikrowifya was doing.

“Why not wash in deck washer?” tanya Tama did not get a meaningful response from Ratna who remained focused on her laundry.

“You are helped?” ask Tama.

“Bby. Mas who peres yes,” said Ratna.

“Why not use a washing machine? There will be a dryer.”

“Mas Tama forgot again huh? Kan I told you the dryer is broken,” said Ratna already with her pouting face.

“Astaghfirullah sorry dear Mas forgot, tomorrow deh Mas fix first yes. You do not ngingetin also,” said Tama.

“Mau ngingetinya when my own people just like to forget,” kekeh Ratna.

After washing the hoodie Ratna and Tama stepped back in. both of them sat on the sofa enjoying the hot chocolate that Ratna had made. The night is getting late, even approaching early morning but both are still at home chatting on the sofa while cuddle.

“Dek..., How would you like to ya?” ask Tama.

“What option?”

“Pengen be a real father,” says Tama.

“At that time Mas Denger Arya adzan in the ear of his daughter Mas so happy. If Mas adhan in the ears of our children later. Mas want to carry their own children, want to play with children, want to be the parent anyway,” said Tama.

“That I told you also what,” said Ratna.

“Create yuk,” says Tama.

“Now so?”

“Iya. It's really great nih.”

“Dih this mah name does not want to have children but want to make children.”

“Ya makes it delicious anyway. Yes deck, one round aja,” said Tama already with a face that teases Ratna all out.

“Ngak believe, one roundnya Mas tuh can until morning because,” said Ratna is still trying to negotiate.

“This promise is up Mas buyin BH new deh,” said Tama tried to persuade once again.

“No,” Ratna then stepped leaving Tama who started whining on the sofa. Ratna stepped into the room, closed the door and then somehow did what inside. Yang Tama knew only Ratna suddenly opened the door again.

“From on buyin I BH mending buyin me ice fruit tomorrow,” Ratna said.

“Hmm? Meaning?”

“Ora mudeng yo uwis. I slept,” Ratna said.

“Eits understand what I mean. Yes tomorrow Mas buyin ice fruit, if necessary all the wagon Mas buy,” said Tama who has now followed Ratna to enter the room.
