23_Planning After Childbirth

...Happy reading...

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

Upon returning from the midwife, Bayu's facial features look sour. This made Aisha a little surprised. He asked, "Mas, why? I saw her face being bent?"

Bayu simply opened his eyes staring at Aisyah fiercely. Now they are in the room. After that, Bayu has not commented and immediately broke down the body.

"Mass? Look at me, what, like that? Aish's wrong, huh?" aisyah asked, feeling uncomfortable being stared at like that by her husband.

"Nothing. I'm just thinking the same thing Midwife Siti said."

"Which word?" Aisha sat on the edge of the bed beside her husband.

"About your food intake. If every day you eat only fruits, it will increase our expenses, Aish. While you know for yourself, if the income of the mas is not how much. Let alone buying fruits, make daily meals is still lacking, right?"

Aisyah was stunned to hear Bayu's words. Her husband's opinion was like that. He is more fond of spending a lot of money, rather than making his children and wife healthy. But again, Aisha had to be patient. It was for the sake of the child who was in his womb. His mind is not stressed and his heart must always be happy. His feelings cannot be affected by the hurtful words of Bayu.

"But, right, there's still Aish's money, Mas. Aish can set aside a little salary Aish to buy fruits, really. Just calm down!" speak Aisyah politely.

Bayu snorting. "Always like that. Not that you ever said also that your salary is also mediocre," he said annoyed.

"Aish will try to arrange it well, Mas. What matters is that our son is healthy."

A long breath was thrown by Bayu. He could no longer argue with his wife. Although still upset, he no longer commented.

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

Days pass leaving time. Time that rotates leaves the past behind. The lines of regret are printed if time is not used appropriately, while the lines of happiness can be drawn when what is done is a useful one.

Now the age of Aisyah content has stepped on seven months, that means the pregnancy is already the third trimester. That way, Aisyah and Bayu must have prepared everything related to the birth of the baby. The main thing is money. They need a lot of money to buy baby equipment, also pay for health facilities at delivery later.

Although now Aisyah food is no longer just vegetables and fruits, still their production is still a lot of unexpected. Aisyah salary is only enough for daily needs, as well as Bayu income. It made Aisyah feel worried if she suddenly felt a contraction, they had no savings at all.

"Mas, Aish would like to speak," Aisyah exclaimed at one time in the living room.

Bayu who was busy watching television shows, immediately turned his eyes from the rectangular screen in front of him on Aisyah's face. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

Aisha sat down beside her husband. He bit his lower lip slightly because of nervousness. Nervous of fear that her husband will be angry after hearing her words later.

"What do you want to say, anyway? Don't be curious, dong, deck!" rejang Bayu more curious.

"Ehm .. gini, Mom. In a moment, right, Aish gave birth."

"Continue?" Bayu menukas impatient. He turned his body to the side to face his wife.

"We do not have enough savings for the cost of labor later, Mas."

"Not you ever said that you would manage our finances properly. How can we not have savings now?"

Aisyah who had originally lowered her head looked up. I didn't expect her husband to comment like that.

"Aish has been trying to manage our finances well, Mas. But indeed Aish's salary and Mas's income is now only enough to cover daily needs. Even if there is more it is not much," said Aisyah explained.

Bayu clucked, "What now? There is no money either. All this time, my income has always been given to you. If we have to borrow from people, we're afraid we can't pay."

"What if I try to find another job?" That's what Aisyah wanted to say. Ask Bayu to change jobs. According to him, Bayu's job is now uncertain income and of course still lacking. Not that he degrades a job, but if there is a job that earns more, why not strive?

I can't find a job anywhere else. His diploma has high grades and has qualified automotive skills. He was even offered to work in an automotive company by a friend, but Bayu refused. The reason is quite classic, he does not want to be bound by factory regulations.

"Where do you want to find a job? Finding an easy job. After all, it is comfortable working in a workshop. More free and unbound by rules that make bored."

"But the income is not necessarily, Mas. Mas, right, have a friend who used to work in a factory? Just ask him again. There might still be job openings for Mas." Aisyah clasped both hands of Bayu with a look of hope. Hoping that her husband would change his mind and follow her advice.

However, the man quickly brushed off Aisyah's hand. "No, ah. Anyway Mas do not want to work in the factory," he refused firmly.

Having to work in a factory like Aisyah which is certainly a lot of rules that must be obeyed, making Bayu think a thousand times. Bayu is a type of person who is not easily ruled by others.

Both of Aisyah's shoulders squeezed for a moment, accompanied by a rough sigh that shot into the air. If her husband's stubbornness were still enthroned in his chest, the man would not be able to be forced.

"Oh, yes. Yesterday my mother nanya. He said after giving birth you still want to work what? Keep the child if it's still working, our child will be taken care of who?" ask Bayu after a moment of silence.

Aisha thought for a moment. If they stop working, their lives will be even harder. Especially if there is a child, there must be a lot of expenses that they have to prepare. Expect Bayu with his income that is not much, it is impossible to meet it all.

"If I do not work, from where we can meet the needs of our children later, Mas," replied Aisyah flatly. It touched Bayu's heart a little. He's a little offended.

"I'm, right, just nanya. How, you like to underestimate your husband's income, anyway? My income is not much, but at least you can save more if you are not working."

Aisyah frowned. How sparingly he managed Bayu's income, still not enough as well. Surely his salary came out to meet their needs.

"Yes, sorry. Aish was just thinking realistically, Mas. The problem of child management, Aish still does not know who to take care of if Aish will work," said Aisyah.

"Mom is willing to take care of our son if you still want to work, really."

"Oh, thank goodness. Aish agrees."
