Forgive Me, Love

90. Seven Monthly

The day keeps changing. Novia's gestational age has now reached seven months. Every day, Candra was always with him. She's a standby husband. And that's how Candra feels now. He feels like Novia's husband. Becoming a father-to-be.

While living in the mountains together, Novia was happy. She felt grateful, there was Candra beside her who always accompanied her. The neighbors around the villa in Novia are also good. They often invite Novia to talk.

" Thank you, my...Novia is happy to live here. He always accompanied Novia. "

" Alhamdulillah if you are happy in the company of gold. If indeed after this child is born, and you become divorced, mas will be very happy if you accept mas to be your life companion and father your child."

" She, we've talked about this before. Novia does not want to give empty hope. We just live everything according to God's will. If indeed God wants us to be together, Novia will also not be able to refuse" said Novia with a smile.

Candra also responded with a smile. ' May God want us to be together. Amin' Candra's prayer in the heart.

" Oh yes, the preparation for the seven-monthly event after tomorrow has been handed over to Solik and his wife. You don't know what the way here is like. "

" She, no need to bother. Novia already said, there should be no seven-monthly event all. "

" So I said, it's obligatory...You're pregnant with your first child. So there should be a seven-monthly event. No, no need to argue. "

" Yes.iya mas..."

Days change. Today, Candra is holding a seven-monthly Novia event. Candra invited some neighbors to come to teach. Mr. Solik's wife also called the child shaman in the village to carry out a seven-month procession Novia.

After the event is over, Candra performs all the rituals that must be done by a husband when seven months. Starting from breaking coconuts, then replacing Novia swallow raw chicken eggs.

Candra did it with a happy heart. He did everything for his wife and son. Ah, what a romantic...Hi.hi.hi...

" Cappy brother? " ask Novia after the show is over.

" Not really mas. Just a little complicated stomach distended gini should use jarit gini. " replied Novia who did look troubled when going to sit.

Candra smiled and approached Novia.

" Sir, are your legs swollen?" candra asked worriedly when she saw Novia's legs.

" Yes mas. Since this morning. Don't know why. It also feels a bit painful. Keep stiff when you make a path. "

" just a second..I asked Ms. Romlah " said Candra then passed to the back.

Not long after, Candra came back.

" Yuk, I'll take you to the room. Rest. "

Candra helps Novia get up from her seat. Because Novia had so much trouble standing up because in addition to her distended stomach, she was also wearing a jarit.

" You change your clothes first, I'll bring warm water back. "

Novia nodded. Before going out, Candra picks up Novia's long pajamas in the closet. What a concern for Candra to Novia. So Novia imagined, if only her husband were like that, how happy her heart.

Shortly after Novia finished changing clothes, Candra came back with a basin filled with warm water and a washcloth.

" Why bring water in the basin of all mas? "

" Here you sit down yuk. " Candra took Novia to sit on the bed. Then he raised Novia's legs one by one on the bed.

" Said Ms. Romlah, if you are pregnant and her feet are swollen it is natural. Let it not be too swollen and not painful, he said in the same compress in the massage. "clearly Candra while massaging Novia's feet gently.

Novia could only smile feeling Candra's unparalleled attention. Had Candra not rejected him, maybe he would be happy now to get Candra's attention like this. Because she must be Candra's wife by now. And even this child in her birth is also the son of Candra.

But destiny says something else. Her heart no longer belonged to Candra. His life also belonged to another man.

" Thank you" said Novia, looking at Candra.

" Why do you always say thank you, sorry. No other words? " answered Candra without looking towards Novia.

" Yes, because it's too good for Novia. Though Nov used to hurt the heart of Candra. "

" It is a very guilty man. If only I didn't support you, you wouldn't have to live a life like this. "

" It's nothing wrong. Now I have a lot of help Nov. If there is no mas, Novia does not know what to face this all like. Novia may have killed herself."

" Hus... What the hell are you? Suicide is a sin. You know that, right? " wrong replied Candra by glaring her eyes.

" Well, if only. Don't be angry dong. Au..." suddenly Novia grimaced.

" Why brother? " Candra was especially anxious to see Novia grimacing in pain.

" The little guy kicked really hard. You are angry with your mother. He did not accept it like it. " replied Novia smilingly showing her neatly lined teeth.

" Cooking anyway? Try to hold. "

Candra holds Novia's stomach. Then on the elus. It is customary for Candra to stroke Novia's stomach. Because Novia baby is very comfortable if it is handled by Candra. So Novia can sleep well every night.

" Dear, I'm sorry, okay...I'm not angry with your mom. You don't kick tight. Mama's in pain, son. " said Candra to the baby in Novia's stomach.

Well, since they lived in Kudus, Candra asked Novia for permission so that the children of Novia called him father later. And Novia doesn't mind. Because Candra is the one who takes care of and supports them.

Actually Novia wants to support herself. Sufficient of his own needs. Even if it's not much, he still has savings. But Candra won't let it. All the needs of Novia and her baby, she's the one who bears.

" Mommy, look at this. I think it's his elbow. " Novia shows the side of her abdomen that looks like there is a small bulge.

Candra. After Candra stroke Novia's stomach, the baby will calm down. Not kicking too hard. Looks like, Novia's son is kind of like Candra.

" Oh yeah, when do we shop for supplies for the little one when it's born? If the parents say, if it's 7 months, we can buy clothes, and all the other equipment for the little one. "

" Tomorrow is it. The doctor said it was still two months away from this newborn baby. If bought now, Nov so want to see if it has been used, like what. "

" Mmm.huh. Come with you. Yuk, help me move positions. At night, you should rest, sleep. "

Novia follows Candra's orders. He put his body in a slanted position. Because since her womb grew, she was not comfortable sleeping on her back.

As usual, when going to sleep, Candra rubs while gently massaging Novia's waist, until Novia falls asleep. He will go into his room to rest.
