The Story of the Children of the Juragan
216. The arrival of the Aisyah family
Fatim and mama Margaret started knitting in the back garden. Of course their feminine instincts invite to talk. Whatever they're talking about.
"Fat, if you can have more than one child. Four or five of them. Let this house get crowded. Look, your mom's house is so quiet. It's just the two of us."
Argh...
Fatim's voice groaned in pain, as his finger was pierced by a knitting needle. Instantly he shook his hand. Although it does not bleed, it still hurts quite a bit.
Mama Margaretha grabbed Fatim's hand and looked at him for a moment.
"It's okay, ma. The needle is not sharp. It just hurts a little bit."
Actually, it was a knitting concentration. But hearing her mother-in-law's request about the child, her concentration instantly collapsed in shock.
From his family alone, he was an only child. While from the husband's family, Leon is also an only child.
If so, is it possible that Fatim could have more than one child. He felt paranoid himself.
"Kok, could he have a needle? Usually not, right?"
"Fatim was shocked, ma. Mama asked Fatim to have five children. Fear of not being able to grant either. Because Fatim and Leon's brother are both only children." lamented Fatim.
Fatim did consider her mother-in-law like her own biological mother. And vice versa. Mama Margaretha already considered Fatim as her own biological child. No longer a daughter-in-law. So, the slightest thing they had nothing to cover up.
Mama Margaretha chuckled for a moment to hear the complaints of her daughter. Then start looking at him.
"You are still young. After marriage, you get pregnant. That's a sign that you two are equally fertile. I'm sure you two can have a lot of kids. Usually the patient is his son a lot."
"Well, does that mean you're impatient? So you only have one child." said Fatim. However, Margaret was not angry, and laughed.
"Yes. My mother was not a patient person. Because of your husband's behavior from small to large really.." mama Margaret did not continue her speech, but instead shook her head while throwing rough breath.
"He was really testing my patience every day. Later if your child is born, hopefully can be patient like you. Do not imitate his father." added mama Margaret again.

The Wulan residence.
Since giving birth until it has been brought home, the relatives of Wulan and Salman, coworkers come and go. To visit Salman's wife and son.
The baby was only five days old. But her beauty has been radiated. Especially if he is a teenager. Of course her beauty would make many people envious.
Not only visiting, relatives also brought many gifts for baby girls whose names are still kept secret. It will be announced during the aqiqah event.
They also held the little baby for quite a long time, because of his anxiety. And when crying, then the baby was handed over to Wulan for breastfeeding.
Although the arrival of relatives who sound noisy and even often make baby Wulan cry, the parents of the baby do not mind it. That's why they're comfortable visiting.
When the baby is finished breastfeeding, until finally he burps big. It became everyone's laughingstock. Not only that, even the little baby also farts big. So back to inviting laughter.
"He must have been full" said one of the relatives. She has experience with having a baby.
"Yes, Tan. Every time I finish, it's like that." - Wulan.
"It's okay. That's just good."
Long enough Wulan had a conversation with relatives. They were quick to quit, because there was still another job. In addition, they also do not want to disturb the baby's sleep. After all, the newborn child was indeed sleepy.
Not long after the return of relatives, the Wulan family came from the Dahlan Hajj family.
They were very happy to get a visit from him. Salman's family immediately let them in, then visited him.
They looked at Wulan and her baby. Just like Salman and Wulan's relatives, they praised the baby's beauty.
After being satisfied to see the baby, Haji Dahlan and papa Andre chat with Salman's male family. While Wulan talked with Aisyah, Umi Rosyidah, and also Omanya.
Aisyah was happy, because her best friend was happy to get a very beautiful baby and most importantly healthy.
Aisyah even hugged tightly with Wulan. And both of them shed tears because of haru. At the beginning they met.
Baby Jundi who was in the lap of Aisyah, his hands were seen reaching the baby who was in the lap of Wulan. It made them tickle.
"Looks like your baby has a crush on my baby, Ai?" babble Wulan.
"Maybe so. Because you know your baby is so pretty." Aisyah replied.
