CURTAINS OF THE PAST

CAPTAIN IN THE HOUSEHOLD ARK

Blessed is the man who can be a master of himself, a guide to his passions and captain for the ark of his life. (Sayyidina Ali).

Already several times Iffah accompanied Toni checked the development of her uterus to the hospital, specifically to see an obstetrician at once for consultation about the pregnancy program. Because at that time Iffah's uterus was declared weak to be able to conceive.

Iffah seemed so excited about their plan. While Toni still looks clumsy and nervous, she is still not confident to be able to have offspring again since the departure of her little Milka, though he had promised Iffah to believe in the ease with which Allah had promised his patient servants.

Iffah saw Toni's face, there was fear there. She immediately grabbed her husband's fingers tightly. He smiled, as if sharing his strength that so much was left in him back then.

"Don't be afraid, baby. I will be sincere in whatever destiny He sets for us. I will demand nothing more from you, than your patience with my attitude." The whispers of Iffah calmed the turmoil in Toni's heart.

Toni repeatedly blinked her eyes that began to look at her, so that the clear liquid out of nowhere just wet her cheeks. He tried hard to smile. "I'm fine, baby." Discuss lying.

"There's nothing more to worry about for Iffah's mother's womb. Thank God, thanks to the persistence of the father and mother and also the help of the Supreme One, all has truly become good.

By attaching a dilator to the uterine mouth of Iffah's mother during this month, it has been able to widen the uterine mouth of Iffah's mother who had shrunk due to spinal stethonis. We'll wait for the results in two weeks. Hopefully, father and mother can soon become parents after this." Said the doctor.

"Aamiin Ya Mujiib.." Iffah and Toni said almost simultaneously.

Toni was still afraid. It's just that, it can not be denied that he was very happy with the doctor's speech.

"Honey.." Call Iffah as she continues to walk with her husband's arm in the hallway of the Hospital to the parking lot where the car that took them was.

"Hmm" said little Toni. A sense of happiness and also fear lodged in him at that time. He was like a dazed person who did not know the direction. Happy or sad.

"I can't wait for the results. If I were really pregnant, I would ask Him to give you a child like you. No matter if he is a man or a woman. The important thing is as good as you, as smart as you are, as smart as you are, just you in your soul." Angan Iffah is so spoiled.

"That's just in the past, baby. People can't learn without the past, because the future is just a plan." Iffah stared at the black bead that protected the narrow petals in the area under her husband's wide forehead. She seemed to ask for understanding from her husband who always humbled himself like that.

"Both man, which man learns from his own past. After all, ever since I knew you, I've never known your bad side at all. Except the unseen, and He is with his angels who know. And that, that's in here." Iffah's index finger pressed against Toni's field chest. "Your heart, the intention in your heart dear."

Toni's tears almost flowed. He immediately blinked his eyes many times while taking in the air from his nose for his irregular breathing at that moment, then threw the air back out of his mouth.

He brushed off the slight smile on his lips, and then embraced his wife's shoulder back to continue their delayed pace.

"Thank you for believing in me, baby. Even though you have seen with your own eyes, what Milka had experienced back then." Toni tightens her arms.

"Thank you for fighting to get up and look good, honey." Reply Iffah, saying and hugging her husband's waist from behind with his arms. "And one more thing. Before you became my priest, you were your own leader. So, you have to convince yourself that you can be a captain in our household ark." Pinta Iffah and reciprocated a nod of Toni's head in earnest.
