TIKZ 2 [Throwing Into the Golden Age]

"Hnngg .. huu. Candra ... pain!" Udelia bit off Candra's arm that was wiping her sweat.

Udelia is currently giving birth to her baby with Candra.

There is a child shaman who is ready to help him in the lower part of his body. There was also the assistant of the child shaman who was busy going back and forth carrying cloths and buckets filled with clean water.

As much as possible the child shaman kept clean around Udelia. He did not want the fishy smell of blood to disturb his mistress as well as his master who followed a series of birth processes of their baby.

Many forced Candra to let Udelia be dealt with by experts. While Candra herself kekeh to accompany his wife in the birth of their baby.

He ignored the scorn and ridicule of the men as well as the elders who saw him doing something outside their habits.

"Dear, is it sick? Breathe in and out." Gentle Candra said while practicing her breathing and throwing it away, nervousness made the wife forget how to breathe.

"Errr huu hehm haa."

Udelia followed what Candra did. He glanced sharply when the pain did not go away.

"I've pulled and thrown, not out your son!" udelia's nagging made the servants hold back a laugh.

"A little more baby, come on," said Candra still rubbing Udelia's head. No, he put his heart into the words of Udelia who nagged him.

"Eghh haaaa." Once again Udelia took a breath and exhaled. Then came the voice everyone was waiting for.

Ow..

Candra smiled widely. "You did it, baby," he peeked at Udelia's forehead several times. "Thank you, thank you" he whispered.

"Congratulations, sir, madam. The young master is very handsome" said the child shaman who helped deliver Udelia.

"Sir, let us treat your wounds" said the maid, looking at the large hole in Candra's arm and some scratches on her face.

"You prepare everything else," refused Candra holding a baby who was still crying smartly and there was no awkwardness in her movements.

"Good sir." The witch doctor and the servants came out.

Candra undressed Udelia and put the baby in Udelia's stomach which then slowly stopped crying.

"My dear," Udelia muttered looking at her moving baby.

"What's his name, baby?" Candra bandaged her own wound.

"Raka."

"A full moon, like tonight?" tanya Candra stared at the blemish of the building which immediately presented a bright full moon view.

Udelia held Raka who moved to the left side of her body.

Udelia nodded. "Yes. I hope he illuminates everything with a beautiful and bright light, always calming the heart."

"Raka Ekadanta," muttered Candra.

"How's it?" ask Udelia.

"As my wife wishes" replied Candra with a sweet smile.

Candra helps Udelia add to her pillow when Raka's mouth has met her mother's put*ng and begins to suckle, filling her tiny belly.

"My wife, I love you" said Candra kissing in Udelia's forehead.

It was always the man saying things that made Udelia feel comfortable.

"Me too" Udelia smiled faintly.

***

"His wife was weak and he was just a man who understood nothing about babies. How can you just do it, ma'am?"

Tuti looked at her husband's concubine who was criticizing her son

"We have to respect the traditions that my son-in-law wants. Rama was raised right." Tuti stroked the baby in his lap.

"What about our tradition, ma'am?" connect another concubine.

Their traditions before and after childbirth are numerous. They don't want their family to ignore one of them.

What would other people say if they knew the Ekadanta family did not do the tradition?

Witches are far from big, dirty ambitions. Carrying out tradition is one of the many ways to see the sincerity of someone in living life.

They do not want, just because of one person, the Ekadanta family will be branded as a dissident of ancestral traditions.

They are not poor people who do not have the money to do a tradition!

Tuti smiles. "Nothing is left behind. Only my daughter-in-law wants to be with her baby for some time after giving birth to her baby."

"Then, what about the oil?" another concubine.

Candraaji Ekadanta, the father of Candra, does have many concubines and mistresses.

Of course the concubines were worried that one of their daughters-in-law was using strange materials.

Turned out it was made by itself?

It was impossible for their son-in-law to harm herself or her newborn baby.

"You stop worrying or they will feel our worry" Tuti scolded as well as advised.

The beautiful women whose faces were always beautiful, inedible age who were no longer young, all nodded obediently.

The words of the sisters who were also their 'mistress' were very true. Their worries can disturb the concentration of the son-in-law.

Their daughter-in-law's heart is very sensitive.

Even if one of them gets sick, somehow their daughter-in-law will first find out.

A truly magical woman.

They don't know where Candra got the woman.

Because when asked about the hometown of their only daughter-in-law, Candra only answered the place is very far away. Hard to reach by canuragan and magic. For this reason Candra always asked her mothers to respect all 'custom' of his wife.

And of course, all the customs are just a Candra essay so that Udelia's movement does not cause suspicion of people who are busy up there.

Candra is always in a state of anxiety when away from her wife. Even if his wife is with his mothers or sisters.

He was afraid that Udelia would disappear.

***

"Mrs, we'll clean up the young master."

The child shaman and the servants entered while carrying the equipment that had originally been prepared to bathe the little Candra.

Raka Ekadanta looks like a betel in two with his father, Candra Ekadanta.

"Please wait until one day." Udelia hugged her baby who was asleep in the stomach. After drinking the breast milk, the red baby fell asleep.

The child shaman and his assistant looked at each other in confusion.

They are a different group of people from a group of child shamans who helped deliver Rama Ekadanta, a tiny baby whose good looks have been seen since the outside of his mother's womb.

The marriage of Candra and Udelia has been on the verge of the third year. After Rama was one year old, Udelia immediately conceived Raka.

This made the inhabitants of the Ekadanta residence happy to hear that the Ekadanta residence had two young masters.

Getting a boy in the Ekadanta family is not an easy thing. Tuti was only able to conceive and give birth to two sons after the age of marriage passed the time of a dozen years. Many daughters have been born concubines, while she is not pregnant.

This is what makes Tuti close to his younger siblings. From them Tuti learned to be a good mother.

And thanks to Tuti's closeness to all of her husband's women, none of Candraaji's children elbow each other.

Everything is like a very close brother.

"I will pay attention to them" said Candra to calm his wife.

His soft hands slowly took the tiny baby who was asleep in his wife's stomach, then put the red baby into a special baby bed.

Udelia closed her eyes as the servants cleaned her body, then the shaman massaged and poured spices into Udelia's body.

Soon a waiter gave her herbs and light dishes meant for the newly born mother.

Candra sat next to the crib waiting for the child shaman to finish tying the crooked on Udelia's stomach.

"Please, sir."

Candra receives an ari-ari from the shaman's assistant, cleans it, then takes her to the front of a house that is already crowded by her extended family.

"Congratulations on the birth of your second son, son," said Aji giving sajen in his hand

He felt proud of the son, because he was able to break the 'curse' that made it difficult for Ekadanta to have a son.

Aji alone needs a lot of preparation and effort to get a son, his youngest son is able to get two sons without the 'sacrifice' that must be done if an Ekadanta wants to get a son.

"Thank you, father." Candra placed the offerings next to the ari-ari jug and buried it along with her distant relatives who were muttering to pray for the 'friends' of the babies.

"Ayahanda, the mother, the concubine mothers, and all, thank you for coming these nights. Sorry to bother you."

"No need to be confused. Congratulations son. Hopefully with the increase of your family members the happier your heart and the prosperity of our family," said Tuti.

"Aamiinu. Thank you mother."
