THERE'S ALWAYS A LEANING PLACE
The Struggle of a Mother

Via begins to feel a biting pain in the incision wound in the lower abdomen. He restrained him with all his energy so that those who were waiting for him would not know.

He closed his eyes to hide his pain. He hopes to fall asleep to be free from pain. Of course, his efforts failed because of the strength of the pain.

She missed her husband's tender caress at this time. Usually, Farhan's touch can make him comfortable. Via mengandai Farhan present accompany beside him.

I don't feel like Via's tears are standing. He could not hold it until it melted in his cheek.

Miss Aisyah realized that. It shrank the tears that soaked Via's face with tissue. The middle-aged woman took a deep breath to reduce the tightness in her chest. He could understand the feeling that was raging in Via's heart.

“Via, have you started to feel pain in your wounds? Just tell Mother! You don't have to hide your pain! Just say let's not add weight to your load,” said Bu Aisyah softly.

Via's tears are flowing more and more. He refrained from sobbing. The pain bites as he moves.

“The new nature of a new woman begins. You have to be ready, at least for the sake of baby grandpa, yes! Fight, Via! If there's a problem, just say it. If you are pendam, the effect is not only on you, but also your baby,” continued Bu Aisyah.

Via nodded. It bites the seedlings underneath to hold the sob. Once he starts to be able to control his feelings, he tries to regulate his breathing.

“Mother, why can't Via's little heart accept Mas Farhan's departure? Via felt that Mas Farhan was somewhere foreign to him. He wants to go home but can't,” lamented Via lirih.

Miss Aisyah took a deep breath. His mind says, “Mother does so, Via. However, the evidence shows that Farhan is dead. No one will believe our feelings. Maybe because we are both women, both put forward feelings rather than logic.”

“Let's learn to give something that doesn't belong to us. We try to defend the chest when something we love is taken back its owner,” said Bu Aisyah.

“But this time it was different. Via has lost three people closest to Via. First my mom, followed by papa. Now, Mas Farhan. When mom and dad died, Via felt they had left Via. But this time not. Via does not feel that Mas Farhan is dead,” said Via.

“Perhaps because of your child connecting, uniting your feelings closer.” Ms. Aisyah tried to quash the hope that could be said impossible to materialize.

“O yes, have you prepared a name for your baby?” Ms. Aisyah switched the conversation.

“Mas Farhan is so sure his son is a boy. He has prepared a cocoa shirt for dedek wear when akikah later. Some time ago, he was present in a dream Via entrust a name,” said Via.

“Really? What's name?” asked Bu Aisyah enthusiastically.

“Muhammad Zayn's. Via added Alfarizi to be like his father,” replied Via.

Miss Aisyah developed a smile. He likes the name that Via mentions.

“Good, Via. Mommy likes that name.”

Mr. Adi who was still in the room agreed to the name. A hue of happiness emanated clearly on his old face.

Shortly after, a nurse came in. He intended to cleanse the body of Via.

After cleaning, it looks fresher. The nurse came out after cleaning the equipment used.

Ms. Aisyah left Via for a bath and prayers. While his mother was away, his grandfather accompanied him nearby. The Via is never left alone.

After the magrib, Via visited his best friend. Who else if not Ratna? He arrives with Mira and Salsa at Edi's invitation.

Their arrival made Via amused. For a moment, Via could lay down the burden of his mind. The talk and silly behavior of Ratna is indeed able to warm the atmosphere.

Merely, Via could not laugh back then. Not because he thought Ratna's behavior was not funny, but the pain he felt every time his stomach was shaken. He also just smiled. At least, Via's smile made his family relieved.

The next day, Via again battled back against the agonizing pain. This time, he practiced tilting his body. Even though it hurt, he held it. She was determined to walk soon to meet the baby.

There is nothing easier between a normal delivery and a cesarean section. It's all a mother's struggle to bring a new generation into the world. Everyone risked their mother's life.

When the baby comes out of the womb, giving birth normally is certainly more painful. However, postpartum, the pain of the mother passing the caesarean is more excruciating. So, everything was an unnecessary struggle in comparison.

That morning, as usual, the nurse went into Via's room to clean her body. This time, he was also in charge of removing the catheter.

“Already, Sus. Still painful, especially when moving,” replied Via.

“Of course. But, Madam should keep trying. Later, Madam practiced standing and walking, yes! After the catheter is removed, the Madam should be able to walk to the bathroom, the nurse continued.

“Good, I'll try.”

“Do the Madam want all breast care for ASI to come out immediately?” The nurse made an offer.

Via agrees. Mr. Adi also came out so that the nurse could do more care freely. Bu Aisyah remained in helping to prepare the requirements of Via.

When the action began to be done, Via repeatedly bit his lips because it held the pain that became. If not for the sake of the baby, maybe Via has given up.

“If pa*****a Via feels tight, hardened, says Mother, yes!” a Message from Ms. Aisyah.

“Iya, Mother.”

For the sake of guarding Via, Ms. Aisyah permits to attend her haanya school when there are teaching hours. The rest, he's in the hospital.

When it starts at noon, Via feels pa****a harden. He grimaced as the part was touched.

“Mother, pa*****a Via already hardened, very tight. This must be designed?” Via whispered to Ms. Aisyah. He was ashamed that his grandfather was also there.

Bu Aisyah responded with concern Via. He beckoned Azka to take Mr. Adi out.

“Mari Bunda help pump your ASI. If ASI has come out, Zayn no longer consumes sufor,” said Bu Aisyah.

Carefully Ms. Aisyah installed a breast pump. It pumps slowly while explaining how to use it.

After a few minutes, the ASI that is accommodated in the bottle is approximately 30 ml. Via looks disappointed.

“Kok is just that? Is it enough, Mommy?” lamented Via.

Miss Aisyah smiled. After saving the first milk, he sat next to a young mother who was upset.

“Via, this is your first time. If it's just a little, it's natural. It will be a lot later, God willing. Especially if you eat a lot of green vegetables, especially katuk. In addition, you should also eat high-protein foods. And, don't stress!” Ms. Aisyah gave her advice.

Via nodded. He was a little relieved to hear Ms. Aisyah's explanation.

“When Can I go home?” ask Via.

“Maybe tomorrow or the day after. But, your baby is likely not yet,” replied Ms. Aisyah.

“What's the problem?” ask Via worried.

“He was premature, weighing only 1.4 kg. Her lungs were not perfect either. Hence, he still has to be treated in the incubator for the next few days.”

Via looked disappointed and sad. In fact, she really hopes to be able to hold her baby once allowed to go home.
