Rara Strong Woman
The Birth of Rara

The story begins when Rara's parents decide to emigrate. Fatih and Tia leave their homeland.

They followed a program from the government held at that time. Transmigration is an alternative path for communities that have nothing as processed land.

Rara's parents already have 2 children at the age of 4th marriage. Yes the first boy is 3th and the second child is a 1-month-old girl. The distance is close. His son was named fito and his daughter was named yani.

Location of their transmigration on the island of Sumatra. Rara's parents are very excited to open up new land. With still getting a share of money from the government... They cultivate land 1 and 2 to grow oil palm. Mandatory plants that must be planted by the residents.

After 1 year there his first child fito died of illness. Sickness that can not be treated because they live inside.. Health services already exist ..cuman mileage is quite far.. There were no public vehicles that year.

After the death of their first child they are still eager to change their fate. The government-granted sobako ration is over when fito dies. Now they have to fight with all their might to survive.

The palm oil they planted has not been fruit because it is still 1 year old.. They do not want to have to work out.. So that they can eat .

Conditions are starting to deteriorate but they have to persist because there is oil palm to be expected. Fatih and Tia's condition is getting worse because Tia is now pregnant again.

"Rpa ..... I'm kind of pregnant."

"alhamdulillah." replied fatih while rubbing his face using his palm.

"how the hell sir even meng seneng! ... We are still difficult sir.... The small saw is still fruitless."

"That's Tia's windfall.... Just take care!!!... There's still me your husband."

"But sir....?"

"Not to be confused"

Tia leaves her husband in the kitchen. Tia went into the room not daring to argue with her husband....

Arriving in the room....Tia then hit her stomach ....

"Basic of the unlucky child .... People are still difficult... It's even in my stomach" she said .

He continued to perform activities as usual... Even she can still hoe to help her husband.... Though the intention in his heart so that the child in the stomach can miscarry.

When pregnancy goes 4 months. Fatih strengthens Tia in order to keep her family . Fatih hopes that the child she contains is male. In order to replace the fito of his dead son.

Finally, Tia realized her mistake... She also began to be careful in maintaining her pregnancy. Until time passed and went by so fast.

On Monday afternoon, Tia had a lot of pain in her stomach... Sometimes they come and disappear. His sleep was not good.

On Tuesday morning Tia got sicker and told her husband to call a child shaman. ...

While enduring the pain he remembered the day.

"Har what is this?... "Tia asked herself

"Damn ..... It's Tuesday.are you really going to be born today?" Tia asked her distended stomach.

Finally the child shaman came... And membamtu Tia's labor process... Everything went well .. The baby came out healthy... Thick hair.

"Congratulations ndukk.... Your daughter". said the witch doctor while handing the baby girl to Tia.

"yes, thank you for helping me."

"Yes nduk... You welcome... It is our duty to help people give birth. Nduk you can to.... ? Mbah want to say goodbye first".

" i yes I can.... This is not the first child... Wait a minute mbah let mas fatih who drove mbah home."

"i accept this ..... Thank you so much for recovering" while taking the fatih gift envelope and putting it in his pocket.

Now Tia herself is accompanied by 2 girls ... Yani is now 2... And that newborn baby.

"you are yes.... The son of a pesky carrier.. I was right when I wanted to throw you out... If not my husband... Which inspires me ... And hope to have a son. Even the daughter born. You've been in my stomach at the wrong time. And now you are also present on the wrong day. "said Tia to the red baby who knows nothing.

No matter how long Fatih came home.

"sir how this baby girl .. "tia said as her husband entered the room.

Tia's husband picked up the baby and made a prayer. When finished speaking.

"It's okay.we'll take care of him." said fatih to calm his wife.

"Just give me the name I don't want!" tia said again...

"yes, I will think of a name that is appropriate for him" replied Fatih.

"Later if it's been 7 days we invite close neighbors only.. for the name of this child" advises fatih.

"yes it's up to you... I'm resigned".

There is no special welcome for a newborn... It is different from the birth of Yani... Tia... Giving new clothes, and many relatives who come to give gifts to yani who is still a baby. While this newborn baby he wears used yani clothes.

Days passed ... The day before the naming ceremony.. Fatih to the village to buy the promised necessities... He bought eggs.. Rice and other...

The distance between trans to the village of indigenous people is quite far because it has to pass through oil palm plantations. On the way home, the sky turned dark.. And the strong wind came. Fatih walked limped in the increasingly heavy rain fluttering his body.when the rain was getting heavier finally fatih stopped at a cottage residents in the oil palm plantation. The 2x2m hut is enough for temporary shelter.

It was getting late with the rain still fluttering even though it was not as hard as before. Tia was holding the baby because she was crying loudly as if knowing the condition of her father... The one who was cold.Yani who was 2 years old also whined... But Tia then took food to keep yani quiet. Yani was quiet and busy with food in front of him.

The clock shows at 00:00. The knock on the door makes Tia run out to open it. Yep... Fatih came home with a pot and the need for a name tomorrow.

Tia immediately handed her a towel and prepared a change of clothes for her husband. Tia also deftly prepared a warm tea and a plate of rice and vegetables.Both of her children had fallen asleep . When Tia went into her room to put up a sign that had not been attached.

"you are the son of misfortune in my house. Look at my husband getting cold because of you. Feel this!" while pinching the small on the baby's thigh.

The baby was crying hard... Getting yani to wake up....

And what Tia did was unexpectedly notya raise the source of this cry even yani who was in her arms... While taking him out of the room to be put to sleep again. The baby was crying loudly feeling pain in his thigh...

"Why is that your baby?" after you have finished wearing a change of clothes ....

"do not know sir.. He's troubling me.... From that moment on crying... I'm tired of it. " complained Tia...

Fatih entered the room ... Then lift the baby.. And carrying.... " Rara dear ... The sons... Smart kid... Don't cry... Yep... Rara is a strong child" entertain fatih on baby Rara... With a little cradle, he finally fell asleep again.

Along with his wife who put yani in bed . Rapun was put there.

"what did you say ?.. Rara?"

"yes... You want to name this child Rara which you take from Lara means sick. Because you have to be sick to give it a name. As long as you know it was on the way home .. Wind rain plus lightning. And another knee-deep flood... All wet clothes... But the goods that you bring insyaallah safe because the father double is plastic wrapping time in the shop. " Jabar fatih with spirit and while eating his food.

"yes, sir, it was raining heavily here ,father came home this is just a bit stopped. If the name .. up to the father just mamak ngadikan said the father." said Tia.
