After the Rain

Good News

Daniar was quite surprised to hear his mother's statement. There's a little bit of a sense of haru tucked in the heart if that's the case. The age of the stars is 8 years. It took four years for him to release the IUD so he could get another deposit. But what if I wasn't pregnant.

Hmm, I better not be happy just yet. Afraid that reality does not live up to expectations, inner Daniar.

"Kok shut up anyway, Ni?" continued Ms. Salma.

"Eh, eng-don't ma'am. Niar was just shocked. Is she really, Niar pregnant?" ask Daniar to his mother.

"Ish, what the hell you are, brother. Who knows, 'kan you, cook yes it's the same Mother," said Danisa while menonyor slowly Daniar shoulder.

"Hehehe .. yes-yes." Daniar chuckled while scratching his non-itchy head.

"Have you prayed dawn yet, Ni?" ask Miss Salma again.

Daniar shook his head.

"Yes, the dawn prayer was there! Later in the day, we go to the midwife to make sure," said Ms. Salma.

"Yes, ma'am" Daniar replied.

At Miss Maryam's house.

Khodijah blinked his eyes as cold air pierced his skin. Khodijah's left hand continued to move to reach the blanket that was revealed for some reason. However, Khodijah found it very difficult. Once again, Khodijah condemned his fate of having to live dependent on others.

Meanwhile, next to Khodijah, it appears that Miss Maryam was snoring softly. Perhaps, the old woman felt tired after taking care of Khodijah all day. Therefore, the movement of Khodijah's hand, was completely unable to feel Miss Maryam. He still sleeps with the occasional delirious calling Nauval's name. It seemed, the woman's longing for her fourth son was already mounting.

Hearing Nauval's name, Khodijah's shoulders shook slightly. I don't know how many years he hasn't met his sister who went to the area. In fact, when viewed from her past, Nauval can go wandering and working in the city, all of it can not be separated from the services of her husband. In the past, after finishing elementary school, Nauval learned to sew to Aji until he became proficient. After being able to master the science and be able to practice it, Nauval went to pit his fate to the capital until he succeeded in becoming a successful and wealthy person.

Early Nauval wander and not married. The person he first met when he returned home, was Aji. Even in the early years after marriage, they still communicate often. Until finally, without cause Nauval broke the cord of friendship to Aji and Khodijah. Until this moment, it had been almost ten years that Khodijah had not met Nauval. Longing began to tickle in Khodijah's heart.

Where are you, Dek? Really, I miss you. Brother is eager to meet you, Khodijah's inner self shedding tears.

Somewhere else.

Ahmad's grandfather began to feel disturbed by the attitude of Miss Maryam who too often went home. Ahmad's grandfather understood that his son needed Maryam to take care of all his needs. However, as a husband, Grandpa Ahmad also desperately needed the attention and service of his wife. It's free for her to get married if she has to do all the housework alone. No one cooks, prepares food, not even the medicine he has to eat every night, he has to prepare himself. In the end, Grandpa Ahmad began to grumble in annoyance.

With a giant step because he was old, Grandpa Ahmad walked towards his daughter-in-law's house.

"Ciii... Chirp!" call Grandpa Ahmad from a distance.

Bik Cicih poked his head from the kitchen window. When he saw his father-in-law walking towards the house, Bik Cicih immediately came out to welcome the in-laws. He was afraid that Grandpa Ahmad could not balance his steps until he fell later.

"Wow, if you fall down, you may be angry at Ojak," muttered Cicih as he opened the kitchen door.

Teegopoh-gopoh, Bik Cicih walked over to his in-laws.

"Why did you make your way here?" ask Bik Cicih. "When it falls, what about sir? Cicih is also the one who will be wronged kang Ojak," he continued.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry Cih" said Grandpa Ahmad reached out to ask for help from his son-in-law.

Bik Cicih grabbed Ahmad's wrinkled hand and led him home. Arriving there, Bik Cicih helped Grandpa Ahmad to sit on the back porch bench.

"What's up, sir. How come to Cicih's house alone?" ask Bik Cicih again.

"Father hungry, you got no food?"

Bik Cicih scrunched his forehead. He was astonished that the in-laws were looking for him when he was hungry. Maybe before marriage, Bik Cicih who always prepares a meal for his in-laws. However, ever since the in-laws got married, all his duties were taken over by his new wife-in-law.

"Where are you going, sir? Usually mom, right, who likes to prepare food for you?" cerocos Bik Cicih's.

"Mom hasn't been home in a few days, Cih. He is taking care of his son who is sick again" said Grandpa Ahmad.

Bik Cicih just gawked at her in-laws.

At the practice site of the Yuni Midwife.

"Thank God, Mom. Mom is currently pregnant. Hmm, it looks like the gestational age of the new mother runs a few weeks. Maybe about 5 or 6 weeks," said Midwife Yuni while touching Daniar's stomach.

"Is Mother a Midwife?" daniar asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Mom. Here, I can feel if there's something in Mom's womb. To further reassure her, I can be in-USG later," replied Midwife Yuni.

"Ah, no need to be a Midwife. I believe in all of Mom's words. I just feel shocked, because the age of the Star is big enough as well. I never thought I would be given the confidence to get pregnant again. Thank God," Daniar replied with amazement and gratitude.

"As usual, remember yes ... Mother must be smart to maintain the womb. The thing is, your uterus is not strong enough, so be extra careful. Do not fall or do heavy work" advises Midwife Yuni.

"Yes, Madam Midwife. I will always remember the advice of Mother Midwife" Daniar said.

"Yes, then I will give you vitamins and also some medicine to strengthen the mother's content. Do not forget to drink regularly for one week, yes," concluded Midwife Yuni while making a note of the prescription that must be redeemed Daniar at the pharmacy.

After the examination was completed, Daniar went to the medicine section to submit his prescription. While waiting for the vitamins and drugs to be finished, Daniar took out the phone from his bag. She wanted to tell this good news to her husband. For a moment, Daniar's fingers danced agilely over the flat object's keypad.

Congratulations on being a father again. Write Daniar on his phone screen.
