The Jakarta-Singapore trip takes 1 hour and 30 minutes. After leaving the Singapore airport. Alesya can breathe fresh air from inside the car that opened the glass of her car door. They use taxi services. It wasn't that it wasn't picked up by her parents or by Alula and her husband. But Alesya wanted to surprise those who now live in the lion city.
The car that brought them had reached the apartment residence of both his parents and his brother. Alesnya got off the car with a friendly roll in Afnan's arms. Without waiting for a long time, they went into the apartment. Both Alesya and Afnan have set foot in the skyscraper where Mama Farha and her family are located.
Ting! The elevator door that was carrying them opened. They stepped in to the apartment that read number 200. Afnan pressed a small button attached to the sidewall of the door. It opened its door displaying a middle-aged male figure whose face was immediately enthusiastic after seeing the arrival of Alesya and Afnan.
"Assalaamu 'aikum Papa." Greetings Alesya who immediately kissed the back of papa's hand. Afnan.
Still with a cheerful face David immediately let his son and daughter-in-law into his house. Then shut the door back. With a doubtful step, Alesya and Afnan had already arrived at the living room. David left them for a while to call his wife who was in the kitchen.
"Who is the data"
Farha turned her face when she saw who had come to her house. Doubtfully Alesya kissed the back of her mother's hand. Same with Afnan. Farha's gaze was flat. There's no expression. Not the same as David who was so happy the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law from Indonesia.
"Let's sit down first." Ask David to sit down. Seeing his wife still standing David invited him to sit down to join Alesya and Afnan.
Alesya and Afnan could only stare at each other. After seeing Farha who seemed to dislike their presence. It was fortunate that David became his mediator who could melt the tense atmosphere.
"You guys came here?, vacation or honeymoon?." Ask David kindly.
Alesya smiled faintly. Similarly, Afnan hinted to Alesya to open the chat. Alesya looked at her mother once more. Still with the same expression.
Alesya let out a long sigh before finally speaking. "We came here, wanting to give happy tidings to Ma-Mama and Papa." Say it with a soft.
David concentrated more and more on hearing Alesya's next speech. Farha seems ordinary. Not in the mood to listen to anything from his youngest daughter that had already disappointed him.
"Alhamdulillah, I'm pregnant Ma, Pa."
Farha was surprised not to play. His sharp glare was fixed towards Alesya who did not dare to look at him. Afnan who realized his wife's fear immediately clasped his hand. Gives strength so that Alesya can calm herself again.
As if in disbelief Farha got out of her seat. Choose to stand with his back to Alesya and Afnan. David does not care about the wife he is happy to get happy news about Alesya's pregnancy.
"Alhamdulillah, Papa's daughter is pregnant, it means that Lapa will love Baby, the cute and adorable Baby." David was so happy that he showed himself crashing a baby.
"What new problem is this." Farha said without looking back. His face was red from harboring an indescribable anger. It was the umpteenth time Alesya made new problems in her life. Again her youngest daughter gave her a disappointment, not happiness.
David stepped up from his seat. Approaching Farha and saying "New problem?, what new problem is Darling?." David did not understand.
Farha's sharp gaze to Alesya and Afnan seemed to hint at his regret towards them. Alesya's eyes were already glazed over. She did not understand why her mother looked angry and disliked when she found out that Alesya was pregnant.
"They're not endless for Mama disappointed La, especially Alesya, she's not a submissive child."
Alesya felt guilty. Farha with her dantian pointed at Alesya's face with an unfriendly look. He said that his youngest daughter was not a submissive child. And always disappointed himself.
"What is this Mama talking about?, Alesya is pregnant should Mama be happy as a mother who will soon have grandchildren."
"What?, happy?." Farha asked with a cynical smile.
"Mama is disappointed with you Alesya, very disappointed!"
Farha turned her gaze towards Alesya who was made choked by her words. Why was Farha disappointed with Alesya?, what did Farha really think?. She doesn't like Alesya's pregnancy. Did Alesya make a mistake again?, I don't know at this time Alesya can only be silent without wanting to say a word.
"Why can you get pregnant?, why not postpone it first, your pregnancy brings problems." Farha snorted in annoyance, not thinking what the child had in mind.
"You better not get pregnant first." Farha said firmly.
Alesya surprised. So too with Afnan. They looked at each other until they finally turned to look at Farha who did not feel wrong to say.
Alesya was still digesting the words of the mother. She did not expect her arrival, her pregnancy was not welcomed happily by her own biological mother. Didn't her mother want her to get pregnant?, just like she didn't want to get married. Has Alesya done something wrong again in the eyes of her mother?, was her pregnancy a mistake?. I don't know Alesya wanted to ask her but her chest was tight after hearing her mother's words.
"What do you mean you talk like that?, you don't like it when Alesya is pregnant?"
David represents Alesya to ask his wife. He also did not understand why his wife speculated that Alesya's pregnancy was a problem. It should even be avoided.
"Not only don't like Papa, but HATE." Again Alesya was choked and her tears just fell.
"Oh my God, why do you hate that I'm pregnant?, is my pregnancy really a problem, and you tell me to abort this?." Alesya muttered in her heart.
"Why does Mama hate Alesya's pregnancy?." This time, Afnan spoke up. He did not want to keep quiet when the mother-in-law made his wife cry in silence.
"You don't think yes, Alesya is still in college, what happens if she is pregnant, later on she leaves and could be quit college, ruined her future, and that's all because of you, he said, why do you have to come in my son's life?, from the beginning I did not agree my son married you, but want how else has happened, it has happened, and again you let me down and-"
Farha cut her own words. His frustration was too great that it could no longer be expressed in words. She realized that Alula was the only child who would obey her every word. Unlike Alesya who just kept making his anger peaked.
So her mother did not hate her pregnancy because she was afraid that Alesya's lecture would be abandoned. The same reason as in the past where her mother did not approve of her marriage was for fear of Alesya not completing her education.
This is the time Alesya proved to the Mama that she can complete her education in college even though she is currently pregnant. Although not so sure but Alesya believes there is a God who will always help him face a problem. Allah will always be with those who are patient and Allah will not test His servant beyond the means of His Servant. That is what Alesya always instilled in her heart to strengthen her heart.
"Just be calm, in the Lord I'll graduate from college, in time." Alesya assured her mother and promised herself.
"Mom needs proof not just promises."
Afnan looked back at Alesya doubtfully. He shook his head in worry over the promise that had just been thrown from Alesya's mouth. The tight grip of his hand hinted to Afnan that everything would be fine.
"A-you're sure Alesya?, you're pregnant right now, can you graduate college on time?, don't you want to take a day off?, you know?, fear that if you are busy this college will endanger your pregnancy."
David was very worried. He was afraid that something would happen that was not desirable if the princess continued her busy themselves for college. It is better for him to take a leave of absence so as not to harm his content.
"Papa's right, you don't have to prove anything to Mama, in Shea Allah someday Mama will accept everything, yes." Timpal Afnan approved of his father-in-law's speech.
Alesya's position is strong. What came out of his mouth could not be taken back. It is also time for her to prove to her mother that she can graduate from college on time even though she is currently pregnant with her first child with Afnan.
"Papa don't worry, you also do not have to worry darling, in the Lord I can graduate college on time, and in the Lord God our prospective child will be fine, he said, trust in God."
Afnan can't say anything anymore. Alesya's defense was quite strong. Hopefully the prospective child is okay until the birth later. Alesya carried her husband's hand to her stomach to convince him that their baby would be fine. Afnan gently stroked Alesya's stomach which began to feel slightly enlarged.
After a brief conversation with David. Alesya chose to return to Indonesia. Afnan who heard it was shocked. Because they intend to stay a few days at the house of his mother and father, but why is now Alesya changed his original intention so choose to return to Indonesia.
With a heavy heart David let go of Alesya and Afnan from his home. He understood Alesya's bad mood. Because his wife's words were very painful.
Alesya's heart was broken. He could not stay at his mother's house who was not happy about his presence even hated the happy news which in fact did not necessarily make the mother happy. It was only Alesya's wishful thinking.his mother was still firm in her stance of endless disappointment.
Although the door was closed 5 minutes ago, Alesya still looked at the door hoping that the mother opened the door for her and hugged her with love and affection. Honestly, Alesya wants to feel the warm embrace of her biological mother, Mama who has risked her life for her birth into the world. Long enough Alesya did not feel the embrace of his mother again more precisely after he decided to marry Afnan, even his relationship with the Mama stretched, creating a distance that was getting farther. I don't know when Mama looked at him like an enemy, not a child. At times like this, Alesya desperately needs her Mama to go through her pregnancy. But the mother did not want a grandchild from her.
"You who are patient, son, in the Lord, one day Oma will accept you with pleasure." Alesya muttered in her heart while stroking her stomach as if she was stroking her prospective child.
Afnan stroked his wife's shoulder. Awakening Alesya who was contemplating her fate which was ignored by her own mother. Afnan knew what Alesya was going through. The wound in Alesya's heart was his wound as well.
"Patience, in the Lord we prove the same." Said Afnan who continued to strengthen Alesya to be even stronger.
Alesya nodded slowly while stroking Afnan's hand which was grasping his shoulder. They smile at each other to strengthen each other.
Kreggs
The sound of the door opening up made them aware. But not the door behind them which is the door of the apartment of his parents, but the door of the apartment in front of them.
A woman came out of the wide open door. His face was no stranger to Alesya. Their eyes met each other. Alesya's eyes twinkled when he saw the older brother who had not been seen in his eyes now stood smiling at him.
Alesya ran over to Alula. Hugged her very tightly, removing the longing that was lodged in her mind during her brother's departure.
Curiosity arises in Alula. What is it that his brother and sister-in-law came to Singapore?, what is there important things that cannot be discussed by telephone so that they have to come directly to Singapore.
"You're out of Mama's house?, why don't you tell Sister?." Alula asked Alesya and Afnan.
Alesya and Afnan compactly did not answer Alula's question so that made Alula more curious "Yes let's go first." Take Alula who has embraced Alesya and bring her into her apartment. Afnan also went inside after his wife and sister-in-law entered first.
"Dimulse first Dik."
Alula brought a glass of water from her kitchen to give to her sister. With hesitation Alesya took the glass of water and gulped it down a little. Feeling it was better Alesya tried to answer the question of the older brother who had not gotten an answer from him.
"I'm the same Afnan came here to tell the happy news, to Ma-Mama and Brother."
Alesya smiled as if nothing had happened, even though her mood was murmuring intensely. Alesya did not want to aggravate the atmosphere, her brother's relationship with her mother was currently good, there was no way she would damage it because of her problems with her mother. His brother should not be included in his problems.
"Oh yeah?, what's the happy news?." Alula asked as she looked at Alesya and Afnan alternately.
"Sister, I'm pregnant."
Alula's eyes were perfectly rounded. He was surprised and happy at once. Her sister is currently pregnant, this is happy news for her and definitely for her extended family including her mother.
"Alhamdulillah, you are pregnant, Sister is very happy, you must take care of your health, you must not be tired and must eat nutritious foods and another you must drink milk Pregnant women, okay, okay, you also listen to Afnan, please remind your wife yes."
Alesya chuckled amusedly. Her sister was very jealous after learning of her sister's pregnancy. Even he was like a doctor who advised him to maintain health and others even Afnan was also involved. Unlike her mother who had openly hated her pregnancy. Alesya brushed off her memory earlier. It's gone no longer need to be revealed.
"Oh yeah you told Mama, right?, surely Mama was very happy to hear this happy news."
Alesya just smiled in response to her brother's words. He did not want to answer her for fear that her brother would hate their mother, if he knew that their mother disliked and even hated the presence of innocent fetuses.
"Oh yes, why did you guys get out of Mama's house?, orum want to go to Sister's house?"
Alula recalled that her two younger siblings stood behind her back to the apartment her parents had meant they had just come out of the house. Alesya was at a loss as to what she should answer while Alesya did not want to lie but it was also impossible for her to tell the truth.
Alula did not need an answer to her question. Alesya and Afnan are in front of him so it is certain that they want to visit him to tell him the happy news.
"Yes already then mending you rest first, must be tired right after a flight that is quite tiring, let's take you to the room."
Alula grabs her sister's hand to take her to the room she had prepared for the Sister. But Alesya rejected it subtly.
"Sir, the plan is today I'm the same Afnan will go straight to Jakarta."
Alula surprised. What he did not hear wrong, if Alesya and Afnan will return to Indonesia today. Why so soon, at least overnight to rest their bodies due to fatigue of silence in the plane for 1 hour more.
"Lho really fast, indeed you do not intend to stay here first a few days, Brother kangen same you Dik, kangen you are angry with Brother, Brother, you remember Not a time Brother borrowed khimar you kept Brother forgot to return and you were angry with Brother, it's a memory that Brother always misses."
Alesya smiled. Remembering the incident when he was angry with Alula for not returning the khimar he borrowed. It was not only Alula who missed that moment. Alesya missed him too. Although they always clash their mouths but they love each other's name is also a brother who has lived one roof since long ago. This is what it feels like if you are separated from people who are used to spending time together.
"Sorry Brother, we have to go home, in shay Allah sometime I am the same Afnan will come here again, or Brother will come home later if I have been born."
Alula sighed softly. But what to say. He couldn't force his sister to stay here for a few days. Actually Alesya really wants to spend time with her brother but this is not the right time.
"Yes, you have been careful, if you have reached Jakarta, tell Brother, let Lakak calm down, Afnan, Brother titip Adik ya, titip niece brother also."
Just this time Alula was that golden to Alesya. Is it because her sister is pregnant or because she is also worried about her sister who is not living with her. Since the distance separates them, their relationship is getting sticky.
"So calm down, my daughter and my future baby will be fine, in the Lord's Word."
Alula can breathe calmly. At least he believes that Afnan is a responsible man who can care for and make his sister happy who is now two-bodied.
A warm hug ended their brief encounter. With a heavy heart Afnan took Alesya to leave Alula's brother where both eyes were already glazed. I want him to come back to Jakarta. Living with her father again but that is not possible because she is married and living with her husband in Singapore.
