Adaptations
When occupying a new environment does make people to be able to adjust themselves. With the place, the atmosphere, and also the people who live around it. So will Ervita with Indira. If before, they only lived in a boarding house, now there was a much larger room for them to occupy together. There was Bu Tari and the Hadinata family close to him.
"This is his house, Ervi ...."
Pandu stopped the car in front of the gate of his spacious house. Inside that one yard were two houses standing there. Large house with a Joglo (typical house of Central Java and Jogja) standing in front of it. Joglo all made of teak wood from Jepara and diprenis beautiful brown color, there is also a batik decoration that indicates that the owner of the house is the Batik Temple. The joglo is open-shaped that is used to sweeten a large house. There are times when in Joglo is expected to be used Hadinata family to relax the afternoon, and receive guests because there are tables and chairs.
While beside him there is a small house model minimalist. This small house will be occupied by Ervita. It was seen that Ms. Tari had greeted Ervita.
"Here and there, enter here Ervita .. This is Mom's hut," said Bu Tari.
Ervita also looked amazed, "This is very good Ms ... Joglo combined with a modern building. Not this shack, ma'am," Ervita replied.
Ms. Tari also smiled there, "Later if the afternoon can relax here. Or sunbathe Indira here too can. Consider it your own home," replied Miss Tari.
Then Bu Tari took Ervita to a small house next to the house, a minimalist design house with two rooms there.
"This is his house .. already Mother and Pandu clean up. Is there anything less?"
Ervita came in and observed the house. Small, but nice and clean. While Pandu himself who straddles Ervita's belongings and put it into the house.
"Need to be helped by Mas Pandu?" ask Ervita.
"No, no need .. you after giving birth, do not need to lift heavy items," replied Pandu.
However, not long ago there was a maid in the house who helped Pandu remove Ervita's belongings from his pick-up car, so Pandu get help.
"This is her room Ervita .. already the bathroom inside is also in this large room. So, you don't need to be confused. You can occupy this with your baby. This is also a baby box, this belongs to his nephew Pandu first," explained Bu Tari.
Then Ervita looked at Bu Tari, "So, I already have a grandchild?" ask Ervita.
Ms. Tari nodded her head, "Yes ... His brother Pandu, his name is Pertiwi. Just now follow her husband in Lampung, her husband is a civil servant in Bandar Lampung," replied Bu Tari.
"Oh .. don't miss Grandma's grandchild?" ask Ervita again.
"Yes kangen .. is only far away, so can not be often goofy. Can gather if lebaran. The house is crowded. Her grandson's new mother one, Vita .. girl too, her name is Lintang," story Bu Tari.
"Children, when grown up, will follow her husband. In the past Pertiwi returned to Jogja because she was pregnant, she said she wanted to give birth near her mother, so that her mother helped her. After Lintang was three months old, he was brought back to Lampung. Lintang itself already wants a year of age," story Bu Tari again.
Then Ms. Tari laughed, "Yes already, you rest first. Viewed house. Don't worry. Anyway, this house you occupy. To eat, later Mbok Minah will drive here. The important thing is that you are just as Indira is at home," replied Bu Tari again.
While Pandu took a key from his pants pocket, "This is the key to this house, Ervi .. hopefully at home well," said Pandu. The man then nodded his head and also headed towards the Joglo Pendopo and disappeared into the door connecting to the main house.
While Ervita looked at the house, from the room she was going to occupy. Even in the room there is AC. Maybe Bu Tari purposely prepared it so that Indira did not prickle sweat. Next to the house, there is a washing machine and a place to dry clothes as well.
Occupying the house, Ervita felt overwhelmed. It was as if Ervita had realized that God's hand was too long to help her.
"Yes Allah .. thank you. Ervita felt so speechless. When Ervita was in exile, there were good people whom God must have moved to help Ervita. Ervita who has no one here, it's like getting a new family. By getting kindness from Ms. Dance like this, how Vita reciprocates O Allah ...."
After that, Ervita put Indira to sleep slowly in the baby box. With a sob he told Indira.
"We started living together in this house, Indira. Adapt to a new place. Thankful that there are good people who help us, son .. When we are really burdened, there is a Hadinata family who helps us. Pray later Mother can work and collect Rupiah to buy a house both well, so that we no longer hitchhike to others."
Yes, Ervita felt so bitter. Life has to pass to others. Hopefully, at other times Ervita can raise money and buy a small house that she can live with Indira. Now Ervita's goal to live and survive is only Indira, the only family she has.
***
The next day ...
Occupying a new house that is more comfortable, and also not stuffy apparently makes Indira can sleep so soundly. At that time, Ervita chose to sleep in one bed with Indira. As is customary in the store. So if Indira woke up, cried, and asked for ASI, Ervita could immediately hear and give breast milk to the baby.
Incredibly, Indira wasn't even fussy last night. Ervita who had been sleeping longer until several times woke up and saw her daughter who slept so soundly. Even this morning Indira woke up also without crying. Usually, when at the boarding house, Indira must wake up crying. Until sometimes Ervita hesitated if the cry of Indira made some other boarding residents disturbed.
"His bobook sister last night pules really .. could it be a sister at home well here? Waking up in the morning was not crying either. After this sunbathing for a while yes, Dik .. let's be healthy, exposed to the morning sun that makes you stronger."
After that, Ervita tidied her hair, swished it, then dried Indira in front of the house. Yes, the house that Ervita occupies is indeed facing East so that indeed when morning, sunlight leads to the house.
By sitting on a wooden chair in front of the house, Ervita sunbathe baby Indira to be worn diapers only. Wipe the head because usually the baby when born the shape of his head is not perfectly round, rubbing his ears, and also change the position of Indira to the stomach, so that the back is also exposed to sunlight.
"Sun first yes Adik .. let it be healthy. After this drink milk and take a bath, yes" said Ervita softly and continue to hold Indira. The baby was about fifteen minutes.
True what Bu Tari said, here can sunbathe Indira. While Ervita's at the kost. He had to go down and close to the street many students passed by every morning, making Ervita uncomfortable as well. Here, without traffic many people and smokeless vehicles. It is definitely healthier for Indira too.
