MARRY MY LOVER'S BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 114

My heart was pounding while waiting for the result. I rubbed my eyes many times and made sure I could see properly. My heart rate rhymed with koplo dangdut, full of euphoria and happiness. Finally, the line two appeared. I immediately ran to Arka's study upstairs showing her the testpack. Arka then hugged and leaned a kiss on my cheek until she was out of breath. I called my mother to tell her the good news. I then told my mother that I was going back to the village because I was missing but she forbade me to keep me pregnant. Arka asked me to obey mother's words. I promised to go to the villa often to see me when I miss. Arka then contacted Mr. Surya and Bu Gendis and a lot of advice was given to us. Ms. Welas cried the most when we told her I was pregnant. Ms. Welas told us to see a doctor for further examination and was given a blood-boosting vitamin that is very important for pregnant women. Bu Welas also gave a list of groceries such as milk for pregnant women and also a list of nutritious foods for me. All the attention was on me and the great happiness I felt.

"The figure?!" the loud voice of Rayi who immediately called as soon as my chat indicated a double bluethick.

"Do you not believe that, Ra?" ask me with a sniffle tone.

"Ah, sak karepmu Kas! I've been imagining that one day I'm working on you in our children's care home," said Rayi thankfully he's not in front of me, if he was here I would've pinched him.

"I have no intention of opening a daycare," I replied and accompanied by a crisp laugh we both had.

We talked about each other's pregnancies. Rayi also told me how nauseous when taking blood-boosting supplements but should still be drunk which Rayi said should be taken the night before bed so as not to feel too nauseous. A lot of input or advice given Rayi because he thinks he is more experienced than me. I just follow Rayi's words that I think are appropriate and quite reasonable.

...****************...

In the third trimester of pregnancy, I entered the months approaching labor. My enlarged uterus pushed the respiratory diaphragm, so I began to feel shortness of breath. His ankles, hands, feet, and face may swell as his body retains more fluid and his blood circulation slows down. I urinate more often because there is pressure on the bladder, as well as frequent pain in the hip and pelvic area. My navel stood out and I began to have trouble sleeping.

While at USG the doctor said that my baby boy and Arka were very happy and imagined being able to play ball or mabar games online with his son.

One morning, my baby was moving. I started having contractions that could be a sign of real labor. Arka then took me to the hospital. Arka was allowed to be in the delivery room to accompany me. The doctor checks the opening routine with the examination ***** as you approach labor and there are regular contractions and discharge of clear, pink or slightly bloody fluid from *****, according to the doctor, my cervix grew from 6 cm to 10 cm. The contractions became stronger and I felt the membranes rupture and increased pressure in my back. The doctor has examined all the preparations well, I entered the process of giving birth. The arka beside me clasped his hand. The doctor asked me to push in the process of giving birth. While pushing, I tried to stay calm. After the baby was delivered, I continued to have mild contractions. I was asked to push again to remove the placenta. Arka was crying incessantly while hugging me. He looked limp but a happy hue radiated from his face. Arka apologized to me because she felt that she had made me suffer, painfully pregnant for nine months and felt tremendous pain in giving birth to her child.

The doctor patted Arka on the shoulder and congratulated both of us, and a pediatrician placed the baby on my chest. What a beautiful sight. I risked my life just to give birth to a new life in this world, and it was my son that we agreed to name Aahva Zeno Aryasatya. At first I protested to Arka considering that Aahva will definitely get the number one absentee. But Arka even laughed because all this time he also always got the first absent number.

Mom, Miss Gendis and Mr. Surya visited me at the hospital. They were very happy for the presence of his granddaughter, let alone mother, this was his first grandchild. Mother kept asking me to drink lots of water and consume nutritious food so that my ASI came out with a lot. Mother promised to cook clear vegetables katuk leaves to facilitate ASIKu. I also called Rayi to tell her the good news but I wasn't done talking. Rayi even noisily fighting over mobile phones with Ade, his nine-month-old son who is fussy after immunization and has begun to learn to walk. I'm ending the call because it's time to ASI-hi Aahva. According to pediatricians, babies should be given breast milk every two hours. I was very happy and it affected my ASI which was flooded and Aahva was drinking until she coughed. The little baby that lived in my womb for nine months and now she lives off my breast. I want Aahva to call me mother and Arka to call me father. Hopefully with the presence of Aahva, it can add to the happiness of my little family.
