Father's Choice of Sort
End (Prospect to the Tomb of the Father and Mother.)
Two weeks passed.. Sandra was finally allowed to go home by a doctor. Sandra and her family welcomed the news with joy.
In accordance with the decision of Mr. Wijaya who can not be disturbed anymore. Sandra and Alfian finally returned to live in her house. Of course the person who looks the happiest is Neta. Neta cheered in excitement because she would finally be lonely at home. There will be his brother-in-law who can be a chat friend as well as telling stories like before. Moreover, his sister-in-law will have a baby soon. Of course the house will be more crowded with the sound of crying of his nephew.
That day, Neta and the rest of the family secretly prepare a small party to welcome Sandra's return from the hospital. For that, everyone is busy preparing everything, including Mr. Wijaya himself.
Neta assisted by Arkha and also the household assistants, decorate and beautify the living room with perfunctory style. There are many colorful balloons and also beautiful flowers that adorn the room. Mr. Wijaya has also prepared a special dinner and delicious food that covers all the nutritional intake and nutrients needed by his son-in-law. Even Mr. Wijaya began to assign a special chef to prepare all Sandra dishes.
At three in the afternoon, Alfian and Sandra had arrived in front of the Wijaya family residence with Bibi Nani and Nurul.
Uncle Joni just happens to be unable to take Sandra to her in-laws' house. Because of the responsibility of teaching and should not be too long permission, Uncle Joni has returned to the village first since last week.
Sandra stepped in to help by Bibi Nani and Nurul, while Alfian was behind them while carrying Sandra's briefcase while in the hospital.
" Slow down." Aunt Nani reminded me.
" Yes bi..." Reply to Sandra who was impatient.
Shortly after, they arrived at the door. They had not been able to squeeze the bell of the house, suddenly the door opened in the accompaniment of the same cheer from inside.
" Welcome to home Sis Sandra ....!! " Shouted Neta and Arkha compact.
" Welcome back to papa son's house .." Welcome Mr. Wijaya then hug his daughter-in-law with affection.
Sandra was speechless. Only her two eyes were able to speak implying how moved and happy she was greeted so sincerely by her husband's family.
" Thank you pa... Thanks everyone... You guys can really make me cry. "Say Sandra glazed.
" Welcome back my beautiful sister-in-law ... " The Neta then hugged and kissed Sandra on both cheeks.
All who are there seem happy to see the warmth and closeness between them.
Only one person who has been seen stealing looks in the other direction. Of course that person is Arkha. Since the door opened earlier, Arkha glanced expectantly at Nurul though not so obvious.
Whether what happened between them, until now Sandra still can not know because both Arkha and Nurul are both silent if asked about the continuation of the relationship. It was even seen several times Nurul deliberately tried to avoid Arkha when he visited Sandra at the hospital. Until Sandra thought that the relationship between the two must have really ended.
" Come everyone... We're inbound. Today we're all going to celebrate the return of my dear son-in-law, Papa." Pak Wijaya sumringah.
Everyone looked so happy and enjoyed Sandra's welcome. There was a lot of love and warmth for Sandra. Moreover, Alfian, since being treated in the hospital, her husband was always on standby twenty-four hours beside her. Even Alfian did all the office work from the hospital. Although it certainly makes Dias hassles because it has to go back and forth between the hospital and the office. Fortunately, Dias understood that and could handle the lack of Alfian's work well.
Since Sandra's return from the hospital, everyone's treatment has changed drastically. They all turned into alert, protective and also more cautious people. Many new rules were applied by Mr. Wijaya for the safety and comfort of his pregnant daughter-in-law. Fortunately, everyone did not mind and supported him.
There are a lot of things Sandra thinks are a little overwhelming. Whatever Sandra wants will soon be fulfilled without a long wait. It actually sometimes makes Sandra becomes reluctant when she wants something, but she only says it and does not really want it. Being treated so special does not make Sandra so happy, because Sandra often feels bad and feels like a lazy person because her movement space is limited. Even so he could not argue in the slightest because his in-laws were always monitoring him, and moreover it was for the good of his prospective baby whose condition was indeed weak. So that Sandra can only resign and obey.
Without notice, time goes by so fast. The age of Sandra is now entering the fifth month. Many unique and funny events during her pregnancy. The older she gets, the more love and affection she receives from her husband and those around her.
Many major changes occurred during Sandra's pregnancy. For example, his college and work. After seeing from all the conditions and situations, Sandra decided to take a temporary leave of absence from her campus. The content is weak and requires a lot of rest, certainly affects the activities before she became pregnant. In addition to college leave, Sandra also had to be willing to give up her boutique business temporarily to her husband. Her in-laws and husband strictly forbid when she wanted to go to work. So inevitably Sandra just stayed home while enjoying all the special treatment from her family. Fortunately, Nani's aunt kept her promise, Aunt Nani often came to visit her even if only once a month. In addition, Nurul who often stopped by and also Neta who always cheerfully accompanied him, making Sandra's day remain colorful.
In addition to pregnancy gymnastics and maintaining a diet and adequate rest, Sandra often uses her free time to sunbathe, take a walk in the back garden or just create a new design and paint so as not to be saturated in a time when everyone is busy with their respective activities.
Just like that morning, Sandra was walking in the garden behind the house with Alfian while enjoying the warm sunlight all over her body.
Sandra looks pensive while staring at the blooming frangipani flowers. There was actually a desire that had stuck in his heart these few days.
" Why dream ? Are you tired ?" Ask Alfian.
Sandra shook her head as she stroked her stomach which was increasingly visible.
" Then ? Is there something that bothers you thinking ?"Alfian asked who felt that Sandra must be thinking about something.
" That's all ?" Reply Alfian responded.
" Yes.." Say Sandra again.
" I'm on vacation today... We're going there.. But we're consuls to the gynecologist first huh?." Reply Alfian gently.
Both of Sandra's eyes sparkled happily hearing him.
" really ? I'm not lying, right ?" Ask Sandra who doesn't believe it completely.
" Of course it's true... Is that what's made you moody these few days ?" Ask Alfian again. Seeing Sandra's face look radiant makes it even more heartless and wants to always make his wife smile happily.
Sandra nodded slowly.
" gr.. Love .. You should have told me right away if you miss your mom and dad so much." Alfian said, bringing Sandra into his arms.
" I'm afraid of yank.. Papa and you are so strict guarding me.. Every time you go for the control of the content you're so worried.. Especially if I want to visit the graves of distant fathers and mothers. I'm afraid you won't allow it." Sandra said honestly.
" dear.. Sorry if you think papa and I are so protex to you. Sorry to scare you like this. But if to visit the father and mother, of course we will allow as long as the doctor also allows it. Now we go to the gynecologist first, if indeed our child is strong and does not harm both of you. Today we also go to the graves of father and mother." Alfian.
Sandra nodded and shook her head at once.
" Don't apologize yank. I know you and you did it for the good of me and our son. Thanks for knowing me too."Sandra was happy.
" yes.. Now we go to doctor yuk .." Alfian then kissed Sandra's lips with lightning.
After consulting with an obstetrician who usually handles Sandra. Finally Sandra was allowed to travel that far enough. On condition, Sandra must remain careful and should not be exhausted during the trip.
Finished from the obstetrician, Alfian and Sandra immediately traveled after asking permission and saying goodbye first to Mr. Wijaya. Although anxious and worried, but Mr. Wijaya tried to think wisely. Maybe his son-in-law misses his deceased and late parents. So with a heavy heart, Mr. Wijaya released the departure of his son and daughter-in-law.
After two hours of travel. Finally they reached Sandra's house in the village. This months-long longing Sandra was longing, eventually paying off when Sandra set foot in the house where she grew up and grew up with her parents.
No wait long, after a short break and lunch that has been prepared by Aunt Nani. Sandra and Alfian then go to the tomb of Sandra's parents.
Sandra smiled as she entered the burial area of her parents.
" Assalamualaikum father mother..." Sandra said when she was in front of the tomb of Mr. Imam and Bu Lastri who were side by side.
Sandra and Alfian then offered prayers for both the deceased and the deceased Mr. Imam and Mr. Lastri.
" sir... Mothers... How are you guys doing ? I'm sorry, Sandra just got to see you today." Sandra finished praying. Alfian then let his wife spill her longing to his father and mother.
" sir.... Mothers... There's something Sandra wants to tell you. Mr .. Ma'am... Soon Sandra will be a mother.... Yes sir, Mom... Sandra is now five months pregnant... Thank God even though the condition of Sandra content had dropped, now, this child is healthy and strong like Sandra.. You guys must be happy to hear that ?" Sandra monologues.
" Oya sir... Something Sandra wants to say again.. Sir... Actually, Sandra had wanted to say it in front of you for a long time.. But sorry, huh ? Sandra can say it now. Sir... Thank you for choosing Sandra. You are right sir... Mas Alfian is the right man for Sandra. Although it was difficult for us at first, but now we are very happy sir. Moreover, there will be a granddaughter of the father who will soon be present to complete our happiness. Sorry sir, because Sandra used to be upset with you. Sorry because Sandra could blame the father who arbitrarily match Sandra suddenly. Once again Sandra was very grateful.." Sandra's voice began to tremble as it held back her cries.
" Mother... Thanks very much. Because of the advice and patience you taught Sandra. Now Sandra reaps all the rewards. Sandra's life is happy now... Mom just calm down.. Sandra will always keep Sandra's promise to always respect and obey Sandra's husband like mother's advice. Father and mother are calm there... ? Sandra loves you guys...." Sandra couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Of course, the sadness is still felt by Sandra. Fortunately Alfian immediately calmed and comforted Sandra so that the sadness gradually reduced.
" sir... Mothers... Thank you for educating and raising Sandra. Thank you for when you were alive, you entrusted your daughter to me. I promise, I will continue your fight to care for and love Sandra wholeheartedly. May God give you the best place. Aamiin's." Alfian then hugged Sandra who was still sobbing.
Long time both in front of the tomb of Mr. Imam and Bu Lastri. Until the cool afternoon air pierced into their bodies. Slowly, Alfian grabbed him and led Sandra out of the cemetery.
