Because of the arranged marriage

Must Be Grateful

The sun has risen, even its light has slipped into the window slit where the curtain is still tightly closed. A person was still wrapped in a thick blanket on the bed, sleeping with his peace. After a night of long activities until dawn, Alisha fell asleep again after performing dawn prayers, in contrast to her husband who had left for work a few hours ago.

Adnan deliberately did not wake his wife when going to work, he did not want to disturb the deep sleep Alisha who seemed exhausted due to sports overnight. Actually Adnan also still wants to be lazy on the mattress like his wife, but it is impossible because he has to work especially this morning there is a lecturer meeting on the campus where he teaches. Although the body feels weak, because before leaving for the office he had nausea because of the aroma of cooking that he did not like, as a result he did not have breakfast at home.

"Assynthet, Bik. Where's alisha?" ask Mama who just got out of the car. Meet Bik Ana in the front yard watering the plants.

"Va'alaikumussalam, Buk. Non Alisha is still in the room has not been out since, Buk," replied Bik Ana as is.

"His husband too?"

"No Buk, Den Adnan has left for work,"

Mama nodded, then said goodbye to Bik Ana. She wants to see her daughter soon, after last night getting word from Hanny's doctor that Alisha is pregnant. Last night at the dinner of her husband's client, Mama Icha happened to meet with Hanny's doctor who also got an invitation to the dinner.

This morning, I can't wait to ask Alisha. Because her son has not told her if she is pregnant.

Mama Icha several times knocked on Alisha's room door, but there was no answer from the inside, making Mama take the initiative to open the door of the room which was not in the key. Mama could only shake her head when she saw the princess still struggling with the blanket, not even seeming to be distracted by her presence.

"Wake up Sha, this hour is still running low." Mama shook Alisha's body, while trying to remove the blanket that covered her daughter's body.

Alisha was seen writhing, but had not yet opened her eyes, "Bangaran Mas is still sleepy, you are leaving," she murmured indistinctly.

"This is Mama Sha, your husband has left for work since," said Mama who has now managed to reach for the blanket that covers Alisha's body.

Slowly Alisha opened her eyes, "Mama? How come it's here?" tanyakanya. He was a little surprised to see the existence of the mother because he thought this was still morning blind.

"What time is it, Ma?" ask again because they did not get an answer to the previous question.

"Nine o'clock, woman, mother, wife, this hour hasn't woken up yet. Shameful Mama, surely every holiday rich gini, right?" Mama nagged Alisha because her daughter's behavior was still the same as before marriage.

"Ih Mama, instead of hugging and kissing her son, even nagging. Is that how Mama treats her child's longing?" alisha protested while pursing her lips, looking like a sulking Cantika.

Instead of being angry, Mama laughed at Alisha's whining, then shuffled to embrace the body of her only daughter. "You are still a wayward little daughter of Mama who likes to make parents in the fog because of your actions" he said while hugging Alisha.

Alisha again pouted to hear Mama's words, "That's Ma's past, now it's not," he said.

"Yes, yeah. Now, there is already a handler," said Mama while chuckling.

"Mama can do it," this time Alisha chuckles at Mama's words.

Next they asked each other the news, not forgetting Mama asked the news she got from doctor Hanny last night, how happy Mama was when Alisha confirmed Hanny's words.

"Dragon prospective grandchild Mama well yes dear, Mama has no patience to nimang grandson," Mama stroked the flat stomach of Alisha who was wrapped in a dress.

"Mother have you told me? It's not, is it?" mama's guess was correct because Alisha nodded at the question of the mother.

After that, Mama actually called Mommy Ayu and an hour later Mommy Ayu was already in her son's residence.

Three women of different generations were exchanging ideas, talking about what things can and should not be done by pregnant women, especially Mama who spoke more, of course because Mama is more experienced, and she is more, while Mother although never pregnant but little know about the problems of pregnancy. Alisha became more excited after getting advice from Mama and Mommy about pregnancy, yes although she also had time to read some articles from the internet, but it feels less if you have not heard directly.

Their excitement is bubbly when the afternoon, Mother must immediately go home because it will welcome the arrival of Father from abroad. Mom plans to stay at Alisha's house.

"Ma, yesterday doctor Hanny told me the same story, she said Mama had a miscarriage, did she? Then why miscarry, Ma?" since then Alisha wanted to ask this question, but she felt bad because there was still Mother there.

"Yes, my mom had a miscarriage. Yes because of Mama's own carelessness, so Mama miscarried, especially when Mama just graduated high school, still likes installment, that's it," replied Mama while concocting spices. They were in the kitchen, making dinner.

Of course Mama does not want to be honest about the reason for her miscarriage, she does not want to cause a point of hatred for Alisha to someone who used to hurt her, because Mama has been really sincere even now they are friends. Especially when knowing the fate of his friend is not good, actually Mama also pity to see the life of his friend, but Mama can not do anything.

"I think there is an incident what is Ma, because Aunt Hanny is very serious right by the way," fortunately Alisha believes in the reason of Mama, because, make Mama breathe a sigh of relief and not have to open old wounds that have healed.

Mama kept quiet not chiming in Alisha's words, instead changing the topic so as not to discuss it again, "Your husband usually comes home at what time, Sha?" tanyakanya.

Alisha looked at her wrist for a moment, "Ma, in a moment" she replied.

"Still on campus?" ask Mama again.

"Still Ma, actually I have told you to resign, but not yet, he said he can still handle everything, later if you feel overwhelmed just want to resign, that's what he said," replied Alisha.

The two of them returned to chatting, now talking about Alisha's daily life, from taking care of the household to taking care of Cantika.

Before long Adnan actually went home, with his shabby face. Making Mama frown when she saw the arrival of her daughter-in-law. Because usually Papa always looks fresh despite working all day, coming home with a happy smile especially when Mama welcomes his arrival.

"You sick?" ask Mama after receiving a helping hand from the daughter-in-law.

"I forgot the story, that Mas Adnan was cravings me, Ma," Alisha answered Mama's question.

"Oh Allah, very handsome. Mama so inget temen Mama, she is pregnant and also her husband who cravings even her husband to not be able to work. You're patient, son, for the sake of your future son." Mama patted his shoulder at a glance.

"Still Ma" after which Adnan said goodbye to cleaning himself in the room.

"Mas Adnan is so far from me Ma, he said in his innate office lemes, want to sleep and not feel well if I am not there beside him, he said, but if I'm a regular Ma, weird, right?" Alisha recounted the strangeness that happened to her husband, ever since she found out that she was pregnant.

"That's the sign, your husband loves you so much, Sha. You should be grateful to have a rich husband Adnan, he is good, sholeh, responsible and apparently also not neko-neko, you must be good at taking care of his heart, never once betrayed his true love, because someone like Adnan was once lied to, he had a hard time trusting the liar again,"

Alisha confirmed the words of Mama in the heart, because Alisha had experienced it. Yes, when he gathers with his friends, Adnan often does not believe if he does not provide evidence that can be understood, such as photos of places and photos of himself with his friends.
