A Husband's Love

Fruit of Patience

The sound of a crying baby echoed in the room. Sinta has just given birth to a baby boy. Doctor Sarita the doctor who helped Sinta give birth handed the baby to the midwife to be cleaned. Then the doctor completed the work on the lower part of Sinta's stomach. The same doctor who helped Sinta give birth to her first daughter Airia.

Many times Andre gave thanks, the delivery of his second child was not too difficult compared to the first delivery. Andre feels very lucky. Although he had hurt his wife, he was given the opportunity to see and accompany Sinta to give birth to his child. Andre kissed Sinta's forehead for quite a while. Andre was moved and did not feel tears flowing from the corner of his eyes. If you remember his bad deeds in the past, Andre could not possibly feel this happiness.

Andre is very conscious. Sinta's mature attitude that makes her back with Sinta. Andre can not imagine, if when hurt first, Sinta really run away. Maybe at this time Andre will be a man who continues to be haunted by guilt.

Andre wiped the corner of his eyes. His eyes turned to the red baby the midwife was cleaning. The corner of his lips smiled at the sound of the son's cry. Andre and Sinta smiled at the baby. Unlike the birth of Airia who was born without a voice, the second child of Andre and Sinta was born with a very loud voice.

Andre received the baby from the midwife's hand. Andre whispered all the prayers and hopes for his baby. Then Andre showed the baby to Sinta. Sinta stroked the baby's face and kissed him. The baby came back crying.

"Crying is my son. We'll be just as shaken up the world" Andre said with a smile. Then give the baby to the midwife. The midwife finally took the baby to the baby room.

"Thank you, my love and my life. You have given me incredible happiness. The birth of Airia, the love and birth of our son. This is an amazing gift that I received through you," Andre said as he clasped Sinta's hand. Sinta just smiled.

"How should I repay all your sacrifices, dear," said Andre again. He did not feel he was giving his best for his wife.

"Reply with love, loyalty, maintain health and work hard" Sinta replied with a smile. Andre frowned. The word maintaining health and working hard was somewhat different in his hearing. The word is like reducing their romantic level.

"Keeps health and works hard. What does that mean, baby?"

"Geez, Andre's feelings aren't too old to be able to interpret that. For what mas Andre said love but can not maintain health. If you are sick, do not make the three of us happy. To say love would also be difficult."

"It turns out you're getting smarter, baby. Yes, I will exercise hard. Especially after your puerperium is over. I'm going to exercise every night" Andre said with a perverted smile. Sinta rolled her eyes lazily.

"Remember there is still a Sarita doctor other than the two of you in this room," said Sarita doctor while sewing something that was torn from Sinta's birth earlier. Andre was immediately embarrassed and pinched his nose. Sinta is the same. Local anesthetic in its core area. Sinta did not realize that the doctor was still in the room even finished the work in her forbidden area.

"Sorry Doctor," said Sinta and Andre simultaneously. Doctor Sarita took off her gloves and threw them in the trash.

"Remember Mr. Andre, if you want to exercise after the puerperium of Sinta's mother ended. Make sure Sinta's mother first to use contraception. Or a man who uses safety. Too risky if the pregnancy distance is too close."

As a health technician, Sarita's doctor is obliged to remind her patients to support family planning programs or KB. In addition, Sarita's doctor cares deeply for Andre's family. Sinta and Airia are patients who are always attached to her heart. The birth of Airia made the doctor even more confident that the miracle existed. After saying that Sarita's doctor asked the nurse to move Sinta to the treatment room.

"When you talk about it, look around. Don't make a sound. Be ashamed. Until the doctor reprimanded like that," Sinta said after staying the two of them in the treatment room. Andre chuckled and gave Sinta a drink.

"Yes dear. Rest first. You have been giving out a lot of energy when you gave birth. Mom and Dad will be here soon. I told them about the birth of our son,"

"Not yet sleepy, mas,"

"Yes, about our son's name. Can I give you his name?

"Boleh mas. If you are the father, it would be unfair if only I gave the name to our son. While when printing them sweat you up to as big as corn."

Andre laughed out loud. Sinta's words were able to tickle her heart. What Sinta said was true. But when Sinta made it clear made Andre could not resist laughing. Andre is getting happier. Sinta joked more and more, Andre was very happy. Sinta's attitude was like the beginning of their marriage. Frequently joking and joking.

"It could be you, dear" Andre said as he stroked Sinta's hair. Sinta caught the hand and brought it to her lips. Sinta kissed the back of Andre's hand many times. Sinta can also feel Andre's love is very big to him. Not because of all the material that Andre gave but because Sinta could feel sincerity in every treatment Andre gave him.

Just like Andre, Sinta also gave thanks in her heart. Andre's happiness and love make Sinta more excited. The two children who had been born from her womb further perfected her happiness. Sinta was also grateful, because the above bestowed patience on her. If only he was impatient and ran away from trouble. Sinta could not imagine what was happening to her and Airia at this moment. Sinta felt lucky to be surrounded by good friends, in-laws and sisters-in-law.

This is the fruit of his patience. A pair of daughters, love and happiness. And do not forget about the welfare that Andre gave to their small family.

Sinta smiled as she clasped Andre's hand. Andre did the same. Kissing the back of Sinta's hand then kissing both cheeks belonging to Sinta. Both are dissolved in happiness.

"Always be loyal mas," whispered Sinta slowly. Andre kissed Sinta's lips at a glance. Then said,

"I must be loyal, dear. I made sure that the name of Sinta Maharani will be embedded in my heart. Be faithful beside me in joy and sorrow. Your sacrifice and loyalty are precious memories of my life,"

"What do you think, baby?. Feels sick?" andre asked, looking at Sinta's changed face. Sinta did feel a throbbing pain in her core area. But what made her face change was that of thinking about Vina.

"A little mas. But I thought about Vina. I hope Vina can also feel happiness like our happiness," Sinta said softly as she grimaced.

"Vina's a smart girl baby. She definitely knows what decisions are best for the household and its three babies" Andre replied slowly. Just like Sinta she also thought the same thing about her husband Radit's household. Andre even hoped there would be no divorce between Radit and Vina.

Sinta closed her eyes. His sleepiness suddenly appeared and could not be held again. Andre's hand that was still stroking Sinta's hair ushered the woman into the dream world. Andre smiled and kissed Sinta again. He let Sinta sleep. Andre ended up sitting on the bench beside Sinta. She posted on social media about the birth of her son. Just minutes after the status was uploaded, dozens of comments congratulated Andre.

Andre looked at the door. Both of his parents were standing there. Until all members of his family sprang up one by one. Andre is happy. The birth of his son was welcomed with joy by all members of his family. Not like the birth of Airia. Only he accompanied Sinta to go home.

Andre grabbed Airia's body in the sling of Aunt Agnes. Andre kissed his daughter. Until now, Andre still feels guilty for his rejection of Airia while still in the womb. He looked at Airia and Sinta alternately. Two women who will love sincerely until the end of their lives.

"Don't bother Agnes first," Andre said forbid when Agnes was about to wake Sinta up. Agnes retreated and sat down on the sofa where both her parents and her older sister were sitting.

"What time was born Andre," asked Mama Ningsih.

"Two hours ago ma. Seven o'clock," replied Andre.

"When does the pain start?" ask Bella.

"Last night mbak. But at five o'clock we left home and two hours later our second baby was born. Child, why not take Mbak?" ask Andre again. Both Bella and Maya gave birth two months ago. And the child they gave birth to is the same as a man. Airia is still the only granddaughter in the family of Papa Rahmat. All members of the family of Papa Rahmat loved Airia very much. Especially Kenzo and Rey. Cousin Airia.

"Later if Sinta can go back to Andre's house. Hospitals are not good for babies" replied Maya Andre's eldest brother-in-law. Andre just nodded in understanding.

"Andre, congratulations son. For the birth of your son. And congratulations too because the purpose of life is clear. Papa can not imagine if if Sinta could not accept you in the past," said Papa Rahmat moved. Seeing Sinta give birth like this. Papa Rahmat remembered the struggle Sinta first. Although not witnessing it himself Sinta struggle. But Papa Rahmat can feel it with the presence of the grandson Airia.

"Thank you pa. I also can't imagine if I don't refer to Sinta. Without me realising it from the beginning to see him and tie him to his marriage siri I was already interested and could have loved him. It's just that I was stupid at the time so I couldn't tell the street pebbles that had been stepped on by many feet from diamonds that only certain people wear," andre replied with glaring eyes recalling his past.

"Smart brother Brother. With Sinta your brain is working normally" Andi said casually, sitting leaned back.

"Don't ever think of cheating on him again Andre. Looky. Sinta's patience to face her life brings happiness to you" said Bayu the eldest brother. Andre just nodded in agreement with all his brother's words.

"That's Andre. Do not fall both times into the same hole. If that happens. I'm sure Sinta doesn't give you any more apologies. Use this opportunity for the happiness of you and your children" said Mama Ningsih. Remember Andre's mistake first. The two old men were incessantly advising Radit if they met like this.

"Andi and Bayu. What I told Andre. That goes for you guys too. Bella and Maya. Never have I heard of them being hurt by their husbands. If that happens. Then mama will be your opponent" said mama Ningsih threatening his children not to hurt their wives. Andre's previous behavior made Mama Ningsih a little traumatized.

"It seems like today we're not here to see a new family member. Rather than hearing the big lady's talk that's it," Andi quipped.

Sinta woke up because she heard the sound of that voice. He was sitting up but Andre forbade him. He looked around the room. All the family members from Andre's side visited him. Sinta's heart warms. He does not remember the past. But at this time he was comparing the birth of Airia and her son. Sinta smiled happily as one by one the members of the family approached and shook hands with and congratulated. Sinta is very happy. Having her in-laws and sister-in-law was also Agnes who was very kind to her.

This is the fruit of his patience. In addition to his small family. Papa Rahmat's extended family is willing and very happy to accept him as a family regardless of his family's social status.

"Thank you Agnes," Sinta said to Agnes who was still standing before her. Sinta. If the current happiness is inseparable from Agnes' interference. Suppose Agnes did not do a DNA test on Airia and Andre may be currently your existence Airia is not yet known.

"Kok thanks to me anyway Sinta. I should have thanked him. You have given me a beautiful and handsome niece" replied Agnes sincerely. Sinta smiled back. I don't know how many times he's been smiling for a few hours because he is happy.

"Yes. Ja. Same as I'm grateful. Same I didn't" Andi joked. Sinta finally thanked all members of the Andre family for being sincerely willing to accept her existence. Deep in his heart. Sinta wants to see both her parents and her younger sister visit see her struggle to give birth to their successor.

Sinta just hopes. Sinta wishes her parents' blessing to be heard directly from the mouths of her parents. Even though they have visited their parents. Sinta does not yet know the hearts of her parents towards this marriage. Sinta also believes. If the fruit of his patience will bring him happiness.
