Guarding the Heart

Happy Eid Al-Fitr Day

A few weeks later

"Mas, mama called Aunt Ameera. Hamish is proposing to his future wife. So mama wants to go there" said Mama Dimas when they were having breakfast.

"Hamish is getting married? Who's it with, Ma?" ask Adinda curious. Dimas turned to his wife who was so enthusiastic to know who his future wife cousin was.

"With Hasna" answered his father-in-law.

"Alhamdulillah" cried Adinda smiling as she glanced at her husband. "So cousin-in-law, here."

She returned to her room to change clothes. Adinda followed her husband's footsteps into the room.

"Mas, I'm coming, yes" she asked because her husband was going with her in-laws.

"No need. You're at home" Dimas said.

"Why? My HPL is still long" Adinda protested.

"How long is it. On Sunday, it will be nine months" explained Dimas.

"Yes, but not ..."

"Dt ... Please recede" face Dimas sharply. He would not argue with his wife anymore. Dimas put on his clothes while glancing at his wife.

She just sat quietly by the bed. Dimas saw his wife seem to wipe away his flowing tears. The woman was crying in silence.

"Darling ..." Dimas approached and pulled Adinda to his feet. "It's for your own good. The trip to Aunt Ameera's house was a long way off. I don't want you to be tired."

"I'm home alone"

"You go to mom's house"

"No way" Adinda was still in tears.

"Ck. I'm not responsible if you give birth on the street"

"What do you have to do to let me give birth on the street?" ask Adinda.

"Yes ... Ja. Come along" said Dimas giving up. "At least able to compromise" his inner self.

"Mas, I'm not as weak as you think. It's been a vacation like this I'm bored at home" said Adinda while wiping the rest of her tears on the cheeks.

"Yes ... My wife is a mighty woman" cut Dimas while pinching Adinda's cheek.

"Ahh, that's not it, Mas" protested Adinda did not like.

"I want to work first, yes" said Dimas. The handsome man crouched down then kissed the big belly of Adinda.

"Let's go first, yeah. Fine with umi" said Dimas while rubbing his wife's stomach. Then he stood up and kissed Adinda's lips at a glance.

"At home" Dimas said before leaving the room. Adinda just smiled. Dimas left the room.

"Basic chatty! Uda rivals a chatty with mama" Adinda murmur. He then took a cell phone to wash his eyes, looking at online shopping products.

***

After Dimas left, Adinda went out of the room looking for her in-laws. Usually, her parents-in-law was struggling again in the kitchen to prepare a lunch menu.

"Din, what do you want to eat today?" asked her in-laws when she saw Adinda show up in the kitchen.

"Anything, Ma. Mas Dimas had lunch at home, right?" Sitting quietly in the chair.

"He didn't get home" replied his father-in-law.

"Hm, since I've been on leave. He rarely eats lunch at home, deh" Inner Adinda remembered.

"Ma, Hamish's proposal later I want to come along" Adinda said.

"What's?. You wanna come?" Mama Dimas ignored her vows for a moment and turned to her daughter-in-law. Adinda nodded.

"No ... No way, Din. I was so pregnant I could not go far" said her in-laws again forbid Adinda to come along.

"But, Ma ..."

"No but-but" her in-laws insisted.

My sister just remained silent. Dimas can still give in, but if his in-laws don't expect.

By noon, Dimas contacted Adinda to tell her that he could not go home.

"Ck. Where else ... husband calls kok not raised" muttered Dimas annoyed.

How many times has he called his wife, but he hasn't been picked up. Dimas finally called his mother.

"There's in the room, Mas" said his mother.

"Dinda's having lunch, Ma?" ask Dimas.

"It has. Knowing you didn't have lunch at home, he ate earlier than usual" Mama Dimas replied.

"Yes, I've, Ma. I was just worried that Dinda was going where else until the phone wasn't picked up" Dimas then disconnected.

"Adinda's habit, likes to make her husband anxious" mummy mummy Dimas smiled.

***

Since returning home from work, Dimas has not listened to his wife's voice. After cleaning up, Dimas approached Adinda who was sitting on the sofa of their room. He's reading a book.

"She!" Dimas forcibly took the book he read.

"Mass!!" shouted Adinda angry. "What the hell, bothering people" she said.

"Why again?" ask Dimas.

Adinda turned her face. "No why" said Adinda.

"No why-why how. First, I'm calling you how many times I haven't lifted up. Second, I went home. Still saying there was nothing" Dimas then sat down next to his wife. He held back his emotions from escaping. Facing a pregnant wife is unpredictable. Must be extra patient.

Dimas smiled. His mother would not allow it. "It's for the good of you and our son, baby" Dimas said, wiping Adinda's head.

"But, Mas .." by Adinda looking at her husband.

"Shh ..." Dimas put his index finger to his wife's lips. "I'm not coming, you can go alone."

"Kok, so this is .." said Adinda pouting.

"Yes, I don't want to take any chances. We're not out there for a walk, honey. We come when the wedding ceremony is just, it's more important. Hmm" look at Dimas.

Adinda's heart is moved. Her husband was so understanding and willing to give up for her sake. His eyes glazed over, he then shifted his gaze.

"Lho, I want to cry again" Dimas said.

"You moved my heart, you know" said Adinda still reluctant to look at her husband. Dimas smiled as his hand pointed his wife's face before him.

"I'm not the Dimas that used to be, like to invite you noisily just a trivial matter" Dimas looked seriously. They looked at each other, Adinda's lips were about to cry.

"Not to cry. Poor baby, generally crying continues today" said Dimas.

"Can't!" whinek Adinda could not hold back her tears that flowed in the corner of her eyes.

"Well, you said even more crying" said Dimas smiling and pulled his wife into his arms.

"Mas"

"Hm. What else?" tanya Dimas parsed her embrace.

"Dining outside, yes" she asked.

"Darling, better ..."

"Only dinner alone, time cannot be" Adinda was disappointed.

Dimas exhaled. "No longer crying. God is pregnant!!" dimas' heart scream.

Finally Dimas nodded his head, granting his wife's request. Adinda smiled broadly then kissed Dimas' cheeks.

Dimas gawking. "That's happy" his mind saw the change in his wife's facial expression so quickly.

***

"Where are you going?" mama Dimas asked to see the child and his daughter-in-law were neat.

"Let's be cold for dinner outside, Ma" replied Dimas glancing at his wife.

"Don't eat out often. Mubadzir this is mama's cuisine" quipped mama Dimas.

"No, just tonight. Yeah, honey" Dimas gave me the eye code.

"Eh, yes, Ma. I don't know how much you want to eat dinner outside" said Adinda understood by the code given by Dimas.

"You want a lot when you're 9 months pregnant. Dinda ... Dinda" said her in-laws leaving them both.

Adinda and Dimas chuckled to see their mama leave. Pregnant women want to be fought.

***

Gladly Adinda enjoyed the dinner menu served by the restaurant.

"Dt ... I have a restaurant business. Why not just eat there?" ask Dimas wonder.

"Not good, ah. Everyone who eats there does not want to be paid. Know for yourself how my Father" replied Adinda.

"Yes, too. But paying is no problem. Think of it like any other visitor" Dimas said.

The sister continued eating. Dimas doesn't know his father.

"Hey, Dinda!" reprimanding a woman approached their table.

"Hest" muttered Adinda looking at the woman who was a friend of her High School and Dimas first. Dimas glanced at Adinda.

"Hi" said Adinda smiling little.

"You're with Dimas?" hesti asked while looking at the large belly of Adinda in disbelief.

"The husband's wife" Dimas replied directly.

"Yes, God. I can't believe that the arch-enemy got along like this. You can get married, anyway. How's story?" Hesti who knows very well how Dimas behaves to Adinda still does not believe.

Adinda and Dimas were just messing around listening to Hesti's words.

"Married, Hes. If not for being betrothed I would not marry my enemy either" Adinda replied with a small laugh. Dimas put on a face not liking his wife's answer.

"Hm, pantesans. Yeah, had. I'll ask for your contact number, Din. My husband was waiting in the car" said Hesti. He only bought rice that was wrapped because it wanted to be eaten at home.

After exchanging phone numbers, Hesti left the restaurant.

"My enemy is now my husband" Adinda said seeing Dimas.

"Yes, the enemy in the blanket" Dimas cuek said.

She laughed and listened to her husband's words.
