Jam weker! Masya Allah! Jam weker!
Aneh bukan?. Termbakau yang tadi
kuberikan tak dilinting.
“Hampir pukul dua belas malam,
ketubannya pecah!”
Kuhardik ibumu: Nyi, mengapa kau
pandangi terus jam weker itu? Kau
mau melahirkan tidak?
“Kumarahi ibumu: ‘Apa maumu Nyi?’
Keluarkan bayimu! Sekarang!
“Ibumu pucat, kehabisan napas, tapi
masih membatu”

Alarm clock! Oh my god! Alarm
clock! Isn’t that weird?. Tobacco that
I’d given to her just now was not
rolled. / She hasn’t rolled the tobacco
that I’d given to her.
“It is almost midnight, her water
broke!”
I’d told it your mother: Nyi, why you
keep staring at the alarm clock? Do
you want to give birth or not?
“I yelled at your mother: ‘What do you
want Nyi? Push your baby out! Now!
“You mother was pale, she’s out of
breath, but she remain silent / she still
wouldn’t do anything”
