Blue Berets

92. Palau

Kirana who had previously gotten a premonition suddenly went to the funeral of her late husband and found Galih sitting helplessly in front of Raihan's tomb. Kirana grabs the umbrella from the trunk of the car and takes it to paddle the Galih.

“True to my guess, aa must be here torturing yourself,” Kirana said.

Galih looked up and found Kirana standing before him with a face filled with emotion. Because Galih did not respond at all, Kirana released her umbrella making her body wet with rain. Panicked, she grabbed her umbrella again and then turned to Kirana.

“Don't Ki, you will get sick later,” said Galih.

“After a, as long as aa still call me rich that I will not use her umbrella,” said Kirana trying to remove the umbrella from the grasp of Galih.

“Kirana..,”

“Aa still don't believe me?”

“Ki..,”

“What do you think I'd do to be your wife, give everything I have to you even to get pregnant and feel the torture to give you a baby if it wasn't because I love you? Why are you doubting? You feel guilty about him? Just the man who has made your wife heartbroken until you get angry with everyone just because of your unclear feelings. What the hell are you thinking?!”

Galih never imagined that Kirana would be angry with him. Galih is still trying to protect Kirana, she hugs Kirana with her free hand and tries to keep Kirana from escaping from her embrace.

“Ma, don't be angry you make me worse know no,” said Galih.

“You why the hell Pa?” finally Kirana relaxed her emotions.

...***...

Kirana and Galih are at home. Kirana puts a glass of warm tea in front of Galih who just sits while daydreaming on the sofa of the living room, “I want to pick up Amira first. After I go home later, papa has to tell me everything,” Kirana said.

Galih held Kirana's hand, then stood up, “I came,” he said.

When Amira takes a nap, Kirana and Galih get a moment to chat together again. Kirana sat down next to Galih then brought Galih's hand for her to put on her stomach.

“Aa story dong, do not be remanded,” said Kirana.

“My mind is really tangled. The day I dream Bang Raihan take you with the children away. I'm afraid Ma,” said Galih.

“I realize that being pregnant and giving birth is a life bet. I may have asked, but I thought again I couldn't seem to see you struggling. I'm afraid of losing you. After heartfelt twists and turns to be with you, I can finally be your husband. I have not been satisfied to spoil you this child has been present and burdensome steps,” said Galih immediately cut by Kirana.

“Pa, don't ever talk that don't dong. Poor your son, he can hear. Come on, Pa, don't think weird. I know you're scared but don't torture yourself. Just as I'm sure of you, I want Papa to be sure of me too. I can do it, I promise I will survive. I will not leave you and the children,” Kirana said.

...***...

Galih ended up sick the night. He had a high fever and his body was shivering with cold. Kirana is forced to separate Amira who actually really wants to play with her Papa. Want how else, if Amira to follow the sick can be the length of his business.

Kirana was cooking dinner and her little girl helped wash and arrange the apples on the plate. After his apple was finished laid out on the plate, he delivered it slowly to Galih who continued to curl up on the bed. Kirana followed by bringing a glass of warm water to her husband.

“Can be sick,” Kirana said.

“That knows who I will be sick to,” said Galih.

“Papa recalcitrant anyway,” Amira innocently even blame Papa.

“Yes sorry, Papa is wrong not to repeat again deh,” said Galih.

“Papa dinner first so can take medicine.”

“Galih Arsa don't sleep first. I take it, eat it here but have to eat,” Kirana said as she pulled her husband's blanket.

“Suapin yes,” says Galih with its efficacy.

“Papa weird. Papa is already big but why do you like to ask for bribe with Mama?” ask Amira.

“Soalnya in bribe Mama yummy Mi. You also like to be bribed by Mama when it is big. Already want to have adek too,” said Galih.

“But Ami and Papa are still big Papa,” protest Amira.

Kirana can only shake, lately Galih and her daughter love to fight anything about Kirana. Either scramble to be spoiled, sleep while hugged, fed, even both of them scramble to be able to bathe with Kirana.

His ears might be tired of hearing the quarrel, but somehow his heart was so happy. Sometimes he thinks “this is what it's like to hear the interaction between father and son?” because honestly Kirana was so curious if Raihan said that when he was alive would he be the same as Galih and Amira? Is Raihan going to be a protective father? No one ever knew because indeed the man did not have many opportunities to be able to take care of his baby directly.

...***...

“Aa, tomorrow there is a bhayangkari event,” Kirana said.

“Mama is leaving, yes leaving. The same tea Lucy was leaving together,” said Galih.

“The problem is in the event material a.”

“What's the end of it?”

“Bina Prosperous Family. Must be followed by all couples who married in the last three months the rest is not obliged to join. Lucy look after the cafe tomorrow so she doesn't come,” Kirana said.

“You mean we have to go with that? Not a prosperous family building, have you said the same material?” ask Galih.

“Mean it,” complains Kirana.

“Talker Mom right?”

“Iya anyway.”

“Yaudah no papa dateng only. But aa followed yes, aa there was activity first morning. Don't you go alone?” ask Galih.

Kirana nodded. Actually to join the meeting tomorrow his heart refused. He seemed reluctant to come. She also for 3 months married with Galih not once did she attend the bhayangkari event. If it wasn't for Lucy giving an invitation yesterday with her name written as the recipient, she wouldn't have come tomorrow.

Kirana is an engineer, one polda person knows if she is the widow of one child especially they also know if Kirana's ex-husband is Alm. Raihan is also a member. Although his current status is the legitimate wife of Galih Arsa, but it does not make a scorn on him dampen. He even had time to hear accidentally that someone was talking badly about him.

On the first day he introduced himself to the bhayangkari mothers who were present at a regular meeting at the brimob headquarters, he heard two mothers talking unkindly about him.

“Bu Kirana his wife Pak Galih?” ask someone who is sitting next to him.

“Yes, I heard she's a widow. Her ex-husband was a cop, too. If it is not wrong to hear her ex-husband is a friend of Mr. Adnan, his own brother. So now he is married to Mr. Galih, I have also heard the news that Ms. Kirana used to be in a relationship with Mr. Keenan,” replied the others. Kirana could hear clearly from behind the toilet cubicle. When the two people were so cool to sneer at Kirana and say nothing about her.

Galih saw his wife start to daydream. He shifted his sleeping position, then asked Kirana to put her head on Galih's chest. Both of his hands Galih used to hug Kirana and pat her shoulders, “not to think that no. Mothers say pregnant women should not think ugly, pity the baby in the stomach,” said Galih.

“He didn't want to think, but he finally thought.”

“Painted same aa hence, do not soak yourself. If you've told me so a little lighter feeling. You already know it is not good to get pregnant alone, so if there is any story the same. Let aa be able to participate in the game as well,” said Galih possessed by Kirana.
