CURTAINS OF THE PAST

HEAVEN UNDER THE FEET OF MOTHER

The sky collapsed that night. Iffah is like flanked by two mountains of merapi, it hurts and hurts more. His half-brother, who loves him very much, is lying dead in the operating room.

"She was still holding my hand as I tried to let go. He knows best what I need. Now he has to pay for what he shouldn't have paid for. He tried to protect me many times, and this time his life became a bet for him." Iffah's body shuddered remembering what had just happened. Toni took his wife so hard.

"What should I do, honey?" Ask Iffah on the sidelines as she pleases.

Her tears were hardened unstoppably.

"Ghali we'll be fine, honey. You calm down. He's a strong man." Toni calms his wife. While his heart also felt the pain of holding back the fear that anything bad would happen to his sister-in-law.

"Toni, Iffa..." Bobi. The middle-aged man's hands clasped his wife's fingers and slightly ran towards them.

Toni and Iffah turned to the source of the voice. "Papa... Mama..." They are almost at the same time.

"What's going on, son?" Ask Bobi anxiously.

"Ghali Pa's... Hix... Hix... Ghali..." Iffah's crying became more and more so found her husband's parents.

Not yet had an explanation come out of their mouths, Iffah held her stomach. "Well..." Iffah felt pain instantly.

"S-honey... What's up?" Toni immediately grabbed Iffah's shoulder. They seemed worried to see Iffah grimacing in pain while holding her distended stomach.

"My stomach..." Ringissya. Cold sweat poured profusely on the pores of his thin skin.

"Toni... Looks like Iffah's about to give birth, son." Chellin's allegations surprised Toni. He looks nervous. For the first time for her, whatever she had read about a woman's pregnancy, disappeared instantly. When he is faced with reality, not reading or drawing.

"But... Ghali...?" Iffah protests on the sidelines of her pain. His concern for his stepbrother was beyond the pain he was currently enduring.

"We're here, son. We'll take care of Ghali." Bobi's pledge convinced Iffah.

"Thank you, Pa, Ma..." Said Iffah bitterly.

"Everything will be fine." Timpal Chellin encouraged the boy and his daughter-in-law.

"Pa... The doctor who treated Ghali..." Toni stared inside, the hue of her papa face that suddenly lit up before her words were over.

A slight smile brightened from Bobi's lips. "He'll definitely do his best for our Ghali, son." Sahut Bobi with a new face full of enthusiasm and confidence.

Iffah and Chellin just stared questioningly, yet they remained silent.

Step sure mebawa Toni who was carrying his wife to the maternity room at the same Hospital.

The certainty that Bobi spoke made his mind a little more focused on Iffah and her future baby. However, it did not take away his worry for Ghali, his sister-in-law.

In the delivery room, after waiting for hours. And I don't know how many hours of waiting Toni at that time. His mind was not calm yet, moreover he did not know how Ghali was.

Meanwhile, his wife is still going through some things because this is the first Iffah pregnancy.

The Iffah goes through several phases, until the transition phase arrives. And that's when Toni gets nervous. Many times his mouth whispered in his wife's ear to calm himself and Iffah. Jemari Iffah grasped it a little strongly, so that Iffah really felt there was Antoninya beside him at that time.

And it is worth it, Ghali is defending his mother... Because she knew, how her mother gave birth to herself into the world. Although as evil as any mother, she will not cheat on her child intentionally...

"You're strong, baby." Toni's whisper in Iffah's ear. Her tears are puffing.

"It hurts, baby..." Iffah Rintih. Clear liquid flowed profusely in the edges of his eyes.

"Yes, honey... I know that, even though I've never felt it.

Therefore, heaven is under the feet of the mother. Because of this kind of struggle, baby. Because of the struggle you are currently feeling, and are not able to feel any man in the world.

For our son's sake..." Toni's whisper further tightened his hand grip against the Iffah's fingers.

Iffah nodded slowly.

Iffah's turn held Toni's fingers firmly. Meanwhile, his other hand squeezed the cloth he got.

The groan that was so jarring sounded slashing and electrifying Toni. He continued to recite the do'a-do'a in Iffah's ear.

The crying of the baby fell, releasing their worries.

"Our son is born, my dear." Toni's whisper was so enthusiastic about announcing the birth of her baby to Iffah's ears. Iffah's tears are getting louder because of it.

"Congratulations, Father, Mother... Your baby's a girl." The doctor exclaimed, before a nurse brought their baby to be cleaned.

"Alhamdulillah..." Desir Toni's. She was so happy to hear the news about the sex of her baby.

"Darling... Our Fadhilah Husna has been born into the world..." Toni's whisperer was so happy. Iffah nodded weakly. "Thank you, honey..." Said Toni again with tears pouring out suddenly. He wrapped his arms around Iffah's neck, and showered his wife's wide forehead with his kiss.

All the pain was a little treated.

Proof that you love me, O God... And I believe, my sister-in-law is also fine at this time...~ Inner Toni. Many times the weak fingers of Iffah were frowned upon from earlier. Happy and positive thoughts are growing. He believes that after the happy news of the birth of his daughter, the happy news from Ghali will be received after that.
