Tama And Ratna
84. Weighty

Tama had just finished washing when Ratna complained about something. HPL was past 2 days ago but Ratna did not show progress. They kept going back and forth to the hospital just to check if it was really okay or if there was something that had to be dealt with immediately.

"The name of the estimate can go back. No papa, it's not over a week. Later if it's past a week there is no development of anything new in the caesarean section," said the doctor.

The doctor has explained that, but the name Adiratna is the one who panikan. Especially after pregnancy she becomes easily panic and sensitive. And the funny thing is, not just when Tama feels something Ratna feels too. That goes the opposite. If there was something to Ratna she also felt it was just that Tama did not frankly talk to Ratna about it. He did not want to be a burden to Ratna. She wanted Ratna to really do everything she wanted so that at least she wouldn't be stressed out.

"Mas, sit down and rest. I'm tired of seeing you moving on," complained Ratna who just spoke.

"Bentar Deck. After drying clothes Mas promised to rest," said Tama.

"Ratna doesn't want to eat Tam yet if you don't eat either. Here let Mama continue you focus on your wife. Poor Ratna, you know," said Mama.

"Yes Ma, I'm sorry I'm so scared that there's nothing."

"Just trust Ratna. He could do it."

"Ratna is strong, I believe. But I am not strong. He said he needed me. How's Ma?" tanya Tama is confused.

"You can definitely. Strong is not strong you have to be beside him" replied Mama.

"Ma, when I was born was Papa next to Mama?"

"Yes. Papa always cheers on Mama. That's why you have to do it, too" said Mama.

Tama stepped in when she felt something on her back. When he was about to lift the empty clothesline bucket, suddenly his waist hurt and made him have to hold it just to survive the pain. When Tama reached the middle room, she saw Ratna was walking back and forth restlessly while supporting her waist with one hand.

"Mother," call Tama.

"Bun, does your waist hurt? Dad joined this," asked Tama again because he did not get a response.

"Yeah? Sorry," Ratna said helplessly.

"No papa. I can just go with you. As I promised, we fought together. I can't help much so let the pain that comes with me this other can at least erase my guilt," Tama said while hugging Ratna.

"Don't tell me that so I want to cry," said Ratna trying to drown her head in Tama's arms.

"Lho kok nangis Bunda how. Ah, don't cry. Want to take a walk? Take a walk with dad. Where are you going? What would Aksa want to eat?" tanya Tama stroked Ratna's stomach.

"No mood ah," said Ratna.

"No papa. What did the doctor say? You don't get stressed. They will relieve your stress in any way. Jco yuk buy donuts want to?"

"Well to buy boba."

"Jaudah, let's get ready. Pake the jacket first" said Tama.

Ratna then went inside her room to grab her jacket and change her clothes. It wasn't nice to see him go out with this negligee so Ratna changed her clothes. After buying her the boba as Ratna wanted, Tama took her for a walk. Tama actually wanted to invite him to the foot of the mountain, but Ratna was afraid so they only circled Monjali a few times.

"Dad, tired," complained Ratna after 2 spins.

"Sit down there first."

"I'm the laper again?" said.

"About? What does yaudah want? A lot of it there. You said I'd buy you a wait here."

"No. He wants to go there by himself" Ratna said.

"Udah no," said Ratna while trying to stand with Tama's help.

Ratna was waiting in line for Siomay when she felt a throbbing from inside her stomach. Ratna immediately grabbed Tama's hand and grasped it tightly. For a while Tama and Ratna stayed there. Ratna was fine after a few moments of rest.

"Such a meal," said Tama saw Ratna so greedily eating her siomay like forgetting what she had just felt.

"Mother just contracted?" ask Tama.

"Yes rich but only once" replied Ratna.

"Will you stop by the hospital?"

"Now. But later. It's still here" Ratna said.

"Lho?"

"No papa. Still safe. Only once, not necessarily continue. Yes.., here used to be the least until the lights were switched on," Pinta Ratna.

"Sampe lights are next at least 4 5 hours Deck. Not as long as it's here, either" Tama said.

"Yes but not now I still want to be here" Ratna said slightly raising her voice.

"Yes yes, don't be angry here. Dah, I'm sure you all want to participate," said Tama.

"Really huh?"

"Yes really. When did you ever lie to me?"

"Never."

Ratna was still cool around until by late afternoon she began to weaken. His strength gradually depleted making Tama force to take him to the hospital immediately. Once there, Ratna was not allowed to go home again. Lucky all their needs have been brought since this morning. Tama just finished giving news to Mama then went back inside to accompany Ratna who could not be left behind.

Ratna suffered a panic attack that made her airway narrow and unable to escape from her oxygen hose. His hand also continued to tightly grip Tama's loyal hand accompanying her next to him. Occasionally Tama would feel pain when Ratna's contractions came and his wife frowned in pain.

"It is followed that the pain should not be resisted. Later you will be exhausted," said Tama while continuing to stroke Ratna's head.

"I'm scared. What if I give up?" A drop of Ratna's tears flowed back.

"You can definitely. You must be strong. The characters are strong, especially the mother. Father here with Mother same Aksa. We fought together yes," persuaded Tama to try to calm Ratna.

"The baby is healthy, the position is also right. It's just that his blood pressure is still high, his fever also does not go down. Tonight will certainly be heavy, my advice Mother should not be left alone, sir, accompanied. If there is anything you can immediately call me," said a nurse who had just checked Ratna's condition.

"Well, thank you" replied Tama.

To be honest Tama is no longer able to. When he saw Ratna continue to feel the pain of her body also felt like it was crumbling. Not only did Ratna feel fear, but the shadow of Ratna's departure also often haunted her. At least now there is a mother. I also said I would go to Jogja in the morning.

"Tam, if you're panicking how would you calm down your wife? The quiet dong. Everything will be fine. His name is a lahiran where no one is sick. Caesar must have been hurting. This is your initial struggle with Ratna to be a parent. Believe me Mama, after you both hear your baby's cry will be gone all the burden on the body," said Mama trying to encourage.

"Yes Ma" Tama said in a voice so small.

"You're police Tama. Answer it firmly."

"Each Ma, yes," this time Tama answered more emphatically just as whenever he answered his commander. It felt as if there was a single point of courage that began to grow in his heart. He was finally able to accompany Ratna more calmly.
