The Unused Ex
Birrul Sick

Her night..

"Where's Birrul's condition, Um? The doctor said, Birrul why?" ask Suhan as soon as she gets home.

"Alhamdulillah Birrul has improved, Bi. But it still needs to be monitored anyway. The chances are, the doctor said it's just a tadjekan. Because Birrul is now starting to roll often that. It's also natural. Birrul wants five months, right.."

"Oo.. But got the cure from his doctor?"

"Can, Bi. Just paracetamol, but. I think Umi is just panicking too much. Though actually Bu Laksmi already ngusulin anyway, let Birrul sorted to a masseuse. But Umi was so worried about it.."

"Yes. It's okay, Um. His name is also the first child. So there hasn't been much experience. We both learned, love..?"

"Yes, Bi. hhh.."

"You look so tired, love? Want an Abi pijatin? Here, where's Umi's shoulder?"

Next, Suhan stood behind the sofa. He then leaned on both shoulders of his wife. And Maya let Suhan pamper her like that for some time.

"I'm sorry, Bi. when Abi should be the most tired. Abi worked all day in the office. Surely Abi is more tired than Umi.." as always Maya while closing her eyes.

"It's okay, Um.. According to Abi, it is Umi who is more tired at home. Umi was busy taking care of Birrul who was sick again. cleaned up the house.. Umi is clearly the most tired. Aren't you, Um?"

Silent..

"Hmm..?"

Suhan then leaned his head slightly forward. His face is now directly above the wife's face. Maya accidentally fell asleep. Maybe because I'm too tired. Or it could be because his massage was successful in relaxing Maya's muscles, so that his wife could fall asleep.

"Eh, Neng Maya is sleeping.. How's this dong..?"

Suddenly Ms. Laksmi appeared from inside the nursery.

"Why, Bi? Let Maya sleep first. I think he's exhausted today.."

"Yes, it's obviously tired, son. From this morning it was Dede Irul nya pingin carried aja same Neng Maya. Neither does aunt. Maybe something is felt a few times yes.."

"O.. Is that right, Bi?"

"Yes, Son.. But after being sorted earlier in Mak Nok, thank God Dede Irul immediately sleeps. But, Son Suhan.. Dede Irul just woke up. I think he wants mimi. But Neng Maya her.."

"There's still breast milk in the freezer, isn't there, Bi? If there is, please prepare, Bi. Let Suhan hold Birrul. Aunty also rest first, yes." Suhan proposed later.

"Good, son.."

Suhan then looked back at her slumbering face Maya. Next he dyed the lightning of the wife's forehead with love.

"Have a sweet dream, Love." Suhan said before rushing to Birrul's room.

As soon as he approached his son's room. Suhan began to hear the sound of his shaleh whiz. Suhan hastened his steps to prevent Birrul from crying.

"Oo.oo.. Shaleh his abi.. How are you doing this. Son..? It's much healthier dong..!"

And the next minutes, Suhan coolly invited his son to talk. Until then Bu Laksmi reappeared with ASI bottles for Birrul, then Suhan could leave his son again to clean up.

Understandably, he had just returned from his office before Maya fell asleep in the living room just a moment ago.

The next few days, Birrul's condition had improved considerably. He's no longer so fussy. But now it starts depending on Maya.

"Prophey, honey..The main thing is Birrul healthy first yes.."

"Yes yes anyway. But.."

"Why not occasionally ask for a change from Mrs Laksmi to hold Birrul aja, Um? Let Umi not be too tired either, right?"

"Ah. don't have the heart, Bi.. Ms. Laksmi is quite old. So Umi also did not have the heart to ask for ice in Birrul. Moreover, Birrul also wants the same Umi continues.. So Umi brought Birrul while doing homework!" maya's complaint continues.

"Lho's? is there a Miss Laksmi also who helped you settle down?"

"Yes yes. But Umi can't possibly also bear this Bu Laksmi ngerjain everything, Bi.gak delicious. Umi just sit around while the laundry stack or dirty house really has not been swept in the mop.."

"Keep Umi what does she want? Do I have to hire a babysitter or replace Bu Laksmi with a younger fan fit?" suhan's proposal later.

"Damf.. Don't go, Bi! That's Abi's demen if there's a young girl working here!" dumel Maya while feeding Birrul who is now sitting in his dining chair.

"Astaghfirullah's.. How did Umi think that was it? That's suudzon's name, Um!" reprimand Suhan immediately.

Maya was silent. He realized that he had slipped into speech.

After a while, Maya oun said again.

"Sorry, Bi.. Don't know either. Why yes, lately Umi innannya want to be angry just. Even Birrul also sometimes like Umi cubit, Bi.. Umi felt guilty in the end.."

"Astaghfirullah's.. Umi's.. Umi. Umi exhausted aja kali. Istighfar aja yes, Cinta. That is the temptation to be a mother. Yes already tired of taking care of children, must also take care of home work. Gini is. How are we gonna go for a walk, Um?"

Maya's eyes immediately opened wide.

"Walk..?! Where to. Bi? where to??" ask Maya so excited.

"Hmn. Where do you want Umi to go?"

"To the top, Bi!"

"To the top?"

"Yes! Umi's going to the top!"

"Okay deh. if so. insya Allah this week we go to the top deh ya!"

Unfortunately, the plan to go to the top had to be delayed. And the reason is because of a sad event that occurred on the day before their deadline departed.

Birrul suddenly became ill again. From around his body appeared red spots, which after checking to the doctor turned out to be spots a sign that the five-month-old baby had been attacked by Dengue Fever.

After all, Birrul's illness has been a blow to Maya as a mother. The woman then blames herself for not taking better care of their son.

"It's Umi's fault, Bi.. Umi should be diligent in applying telon oil to Birrul. So Birrul didn't get DBD!" cecar Maya on himself.

It was Maya who blamed herself for the whole time.

Maya gazes sadly at their son who is now lying weakly on top of the hospital bankers. His son looked thin on the second day of his hospital stay.

This really made Maya sad. So also with Suhan who is also sad over the condition of his son at this time.
