To be the Second
Being a Young Mother

When someone has married and released their bachelor, daily life that is usually passed alone will always be lived with a partner. Love for your partner will make every day life never complete if there is no one in between.

However, usually work or other things can separate couples for a while. What else is the husband is the backbone of the family. There are times when work must require our husbands to go out of town or even work in the city, on different islands, even other countries so that they cannot go home for some time. At that time, usually a sense of longing will envelop the wife.

So did I feel, even though yesterday it was met by my husband, but still it will not be enough, considering he was only a few hours to accompany me. Now my longing is growing, but I realize that this is not the right time for me to be selfish, my mother-in-law has just accepted His call. And I could feel the deep loss that my husband was feeling, like most of the children who lost a mother who gave us into this world.

As soon as someone came, happiness immediately enveloped me. I immediately went out to greet the guest who I believed was my husband. But I was surprised and stared at the door as soon as I saw who was coming, a man of slightly arabic stature, and foreign to me.

I forgot that it is still five days after I give birth, of course what comes is not Bang Aziz. Because he said he would go home after seven days Almarhumah Umma in-laws, stupidly I was too hoping for his return, maybe this is the effect of longing that has piled up, yesterday had not had time to let go of longing, Bang Aziz had just left immediately after getting word from Cak Arga. Of course he panicked, who wouldn't panic if he got word about one of our parents leaving for good.

" Oh this is Ma'am, meet my girlfriend her name is Kolil." Anna introduced the man sitting on the living room couch. I instantly clenched my palms together in front of d**a, slightly nodding.

" Oh, yeah hello. Yes, you lived first. Titip Zia in the room." I saw Anna pointing her thumb at me before I stepped back to make them a drink. I leave them alone, they won't be possible macems right up ahead?

" What's up, Niyah? Who are you making drinks for? Any guests?" Ask my mother who is standing next to me.

" Oh, there's a friend Anna Bu coming." I answered without looking at Mom.

" Whose guest? What men are women?" Ask my mother again, who started kepo. I can only sigh slowly.

" Mommy's man."

" man? Wh who? Must be your sister's boyfriend, huh? Ah, that boy!" Omel my mother walked back to continue cooking.

I no longer responded to him, and walked back to the front and placed two glasses of tea for Anna and her boyfriend. " Let's have a drink." I'm mince words.

" Thank you Ma'am." Anna and her boyfriend together. I only responded with a smile, then went back into the room.

" Oh, what a lovely Ami. So it's gemes. " I kissed her all over her tiny face. Zia also just had a bath, in the shower with her Grandma.

A few moments later the show began, this event all to give a name to my little daughter. Anna took out all the chairs to the front of the porch helped by her boyfriend and also the father. He was also a little surprised to see a foreign man in his house, after being explained by Anna, that he invited him to the house, finally he did not ask much further.

Finally the event went well, all the neighbors invited also returned to their homes. Now we have a family in the living room. In the kitchen is also finished, all the equipment has been done before the event was started.

I sat on the couch with Mom, while the others sat on chairs. The mother who carried Zia on her lap, I saw Mom was so happy, considering my daughter was the first grandchild in the family.

" After seven days Umma Ma." I answered while looking forward, where the atmosphere became tense and stiff, between Father, Anna, and her boyfriend Anna. It's like I'm doing a school exam.

" So Kolil's son Anton's coworker?" Ask the Father looking at the man who was bowing his head earlier, either out of fear or courtesy. I actually see him like a person who is being interviewed by prospective in-laws.

" True sir." The answer was so stiff, wanting to laugh fearing sin. O Allah..

Mr. mangut-mangut after hearing the answer from Kolil. " What kind of person?" Ask the Father again.

" I'm a genuine PK man sir. It's just that I've been wandering around in a big city for a long time." Sahut Kolil while glancing slightly towards the Father.

He came back, I don't know what he's thinking right now, we don't know. But something seems to bother him.

Father told Anna to take Kolil to eat in the back. While I was eating earlier, then now I go into the room to start the asceticism. It turns out that conversation continues.

" Anna cleaned your bedroom, let Nak Kolil occupy it. You can sleep in your Mom's room or you can sleep with Mom." I heard you tell Anna from my room, because I am still awake after nursing Zia who is back asleep.

It turns out that being a young mother is not easy, the night sleep is no longer good, because Zia is often awake in the middle of the night, until sometimes twice, who feel thirsty, it is, or change the diaper that is full. Although my body does not become fat, but strangely nafs* eat me so increased, said Mother is natural for a mother who breastfeeds.

Then I have to go to sleep until the end of the puerperium, sleep half-sitting every night, you can imagine. But Mother said this is done if women who give birth for the first time, when we give birth second, third, and so on, we do not need to do it. Because all of our bones return young again like a newborn baby, so it can still be repaired again, if something goes wrong. I don't know if I'm just following Mom. Legs should also be straight should not be bent when we sleep, so that blood circulation is smooth.

Then we should not sleep in the morning so that white blood does not rise to the eyes, said Mother can reduce the level of vision of our eyes. Continue every morning when we take a shower, also have to do a wuwung bath, so that our ASI can be smooth after giving birth. The Wuwung bath is by wetting the hair up to our faces, and the condition of our eyes should look up, until our eyes feel sore and slightly red then we finish it. And it is done every morning and evening.

Eating also should not be hot, all must be cold, so that our babies do not spit up often, said my mother. And there's so much more to be done by a new mom, and I have to do it, if I don't want to hear Mom nagging all the time. But I knew that Mom did it because she loved me, her children, but in a different way from other mothers.
