Forgive Me, Love

142. When Athar was in my womb

" Dear, how were you when you conceived Athar? " ask Boby.

They are currently in the room. They sat on the bed leaning against the bed. Novia is bordered with legs crossed. Boby fell asleep on Novia's thigh while stroking Novia's stomach which was already somewhat prominent.

" That time...." Novia recalls how she felt while pregnant with Athar.

" When I was pregnant it was probably only one month, every morning I had morning sickness. Every morning nausea, vomiting, lemes. Like you yesterday. It happened before I knew I was pregnant until I was 4 and four months pregnant. I also have a cravings. Some kind of food I want too. Actually.my former pregnancy is more complicated than this one. "the story of Novia.

Boby got up from his sleep. He sat next to Novia. Brushed her hair lovingly. He feels very guilty.

" I'm sorry, honey. I have sinned so much for you. You're going through it all, and I'm not paying attention to you at all" said Boby, looking up at Novia with teary eyes.

Novia held both of Boby's cheeks. Wiping away the tears that were dripping down Boby's cheek.

" Don't talk about what you used to. This time I was pregnant, I was very happy. I am so grateful to have you by my side. You did everything for me. Even you did it twice as well as you should."

Novia kissed Boby's lips deep. He wanted to show how happy he was and how grateful he was right now.

Boby returned the kiss inside anyway.

" What is everything you want first, Candra who fulfills it? " ask Boby back when their kiss is gone.

" no. Just some that Candra filled. Those are just a few things I can't fulfill on my own. I can't get it myself. The rest, I bought it myself " Novia said with a warm smile.

" Aunty once said, when pregnant, you also ...kamu.kau very want to sleep in my arms." said Boby lirih while looking down. " You want to smell my body when you want to sleep. So you take the clothes that I used up. "he continued still while looking down.

Novia smile. " yes. Every night, I can't even sleep because I miss you so much. Once, after midnight, I brought a thick blanket and slept in front of your room. Fortunately, you didn't come out that night. "

Boby grabbed Novia's body. He hugged her tightly. Real tight.

" What did Candra do for you? Did you also sleep in her arms? " ask Boby back after taking off her arms.

Novia glared while hitting Boby's chest. " You are mas. I still have ethics. Where might I sleep in the arms of another man when I already have a husband" said Novia ketus.

" Sorry, honey. I just want to know what Candra did for you. "

" Mas Candra, he fed me. Because if I don't feed, I have trouble digesting food. "

" Why should I treat Candra? Can't auntie bribe you? "

" Your child will not eat if it is not from you or Candra. As for you, don't want to bribe me. Yes, rather than me and your child starving. "

Boby let out a long sigh hearing Novia's story. " I'm sorry. "he's back to say sorry.

" When my legs are swollen, Candra every time I go to sleep, she's mijitin my legs. You see, if not in the massage, the next morning I can not walk. "

" Oh my God...I missed a lot of things. Forgive me, dear. " said Boby bitterly.

" No, no more talking about it. Mending us to sleep. It's late" Novia said, ending talk of the past.

" Eits, wait a minute, baby. You haven't drunk any milk. For a moment, I made it first" said Boby as he got up from his seat and walked out of the room.

" Mama, dedeknya guy like dedek Zaki what girl? " ask Athar as they relax in the living room while watching TV.

" Sister wants a guy's grandpa what girl? " ask Novia back.

" Athar prefers men ma. If it's a girl, it'll be like Athar's friend at school. It is crying ", Athar replied innocently.

Novia and Boby laughed at her son's explanation. Boby rubbed Athar's head.

" Papa's son can do it. If papa wants to dedeknya later girl. Let me buy you a lot of dolls" said Boby.

" Papa's guy. Let's not cry. "

" girl, baby. Let someone like to cry at home. " said Boby does not want to lose.

" The cowooooookkkk papaaa." Athar said. " Aren't you ma? " ask Athar for a defense.

Boby and Athar kiss Novia's cheeks together.

" Mama's the best" they said at the same time, giving her thumbs up.

Novia suddenly holds Boby and Athar's hand, then puts it on her stomach.

" The grandfather of movements." he said. It makes Boby and Athar feel excited.

They kissed Novia's stomach in turn.

" Ma, if you move, your stomach hurts? " ask Athar still while stroking his mother's stomach.

Novia shakes. " No, sweetheart. Mama just felt a little ticklish. "

Athar.

Novia's pregnancy is now 8 months old. Sometimes, he had already started to feel the pegel at the waist. His feet are also starting to swell.

" Dear, your legs are swollen again" said Boby.

Novia looked at her feet. " A little bit this pa. "

Boby got up from his seat and walked into the kitchen. Athar still constantly accompanied his mother while kneeling his mother's waist.

" When in Athar's massage, it doesn't hurt? "

" No, honey. "

Then Boby reappeared with a basin filled with warm water and washlap.

He lifted Novia's leg and put it on her lap. He compresses Novia's next leg, and drains the massage oil into her next leg. He kneels slowly at Novia's feet, alternating.

" Papa, Athar is also about to compress my mom's leg. "

" okay. Nought. " Boby gives washlap to Athar.

" Be careful, papa slide a little. Papa who changed mama's waist. " said Athar.

Boby just shook his head at his son's behavior. Athar loved his mother.

" Ready, boss." replied Boby.

Now they're working together on Novia.

" Ma, tomorrow the birth of the operation is yes. "pinta Boby.

Novia shakes. " No, pa. Mom wants normal. "

" But if it's normal, it hurts. "

" Don't you know where? "

" Andre the story. Same with some papa employees. They say, if a normal body hurts, the process continues for a long time. "

" That's the beauty of giving birth. If the operation, we will not feel the beauty of the birth process. "

" lady... I don't want to see my mom in pain. "

" No pa-pa papa. All women feel it too. "

" Mama, if you tell me, it's hard. "

Novia smiled as she stroked her husband's sulking cheek.
