HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

You Are Indeed My Destiny

The sound of crying babies was heard from outside the operating room. Jack, Riani, Mahira and Edmond who were standing in front of the operating room immediately looked at each other with a smile.

"He was born.Our grandson was born. Leon now has a younger brother" Mahira said, wrapping her hand around her husband's arm.

"Yes dear. Our grandson is now two." said Edmond with teary eyes.

Edmond called Opa Edriges. He's at home, accompanying Leon. When he heard that his brother was born, Leon seemed to be cheering.

"Leon must be really happy, huh?" Riani.

"Yes. He had even asked Edriges' opa to drive him to the hospital." Mahira could already imagine how troublesome the opa was when it came to resisting the wishes of Leon who wanted to come to the hospital immediately.

Shortly after, the door of the operating room opened. Reo came out while holding his second son with a happy face and looked proud.

"Introduce my name LATHAN EDRIGES ALMOND" Reo said with teary eyes. He did give the name of the opa Edriges to his second son because Edewina wanted it. Opa Edriges had been faithful to accompany her until her delivery time had arrived. Opa himself did not know that his name would be given to Edewina's son.

"Oh.opa Edriges will definitely be very happy." Mahira seemed enthusiastic about welcoming the name, as well as others.

Baby Lathan looks very handsome with dimples on both of her cheeks. For a moment, Mahira remembers Teddy. Teddy has dimples like that. As well as Edewina and now down to their grandchildren. But Mahira only kept that in her heart. He looked at the husband who looked fascinated looking at their second grandson.

"You know baby, I feel that our second granddaughter looks like Edewina. If Leon's like a copy of his papa. But Lathan is like a copy of his mother." said Edmond.

"Yes. Maybe what looks like Reo is just his hair that's a bit blond."

After that Baby Lathan was escorted to the nursery and Edewina was pushed to her room.

All the families gathered while congratulating. After that they left the room and let Edewina rest accompanied by Reo.

For 2 hours, Edewina fell asleep. He woke up because the doctor came to check on him. Edewina was then asked to sit down.

"Darling.., I'm so happy." Reo said after the doctor and his treatment left.

"I'm happy too." Said Edewina while returning the hand of her husband.

"Thank you for giving me 2 really good-looking heroes."

"Leon and Lathan are God's gifts that we must take care of and be grateful for. Leon must have been so happy to hear his sister was born."

"Yes. Leon even wanted to come to the hospital immediately. But opa Edriges turned out to make it calm to be able to wait tomorrow."

Edewina chuckles. "I can imagine how troublesome his opa is to face Leon."

Reo rubbed his wife's cheek gently. Edewina closed her eyes for a moment to enjoy her husband's affection. "I never wrongly determine where my heart is anchored. You are my destiny."

Reo's words made Edewina open her eyes. Looking at her husband's handsome face. "Thank you for your great love for me."

"Thank you also for accepting this coercive love of mine for you."

Edewina laughs. "You are my husband's coercor. But if you hadn't done that, I would've left with someone else."

"And I'll regret a lifetime for not forcing you. God is very good to me. Because it makes you love me."

Edewina approached and kissed her husband on the lips. "God is also very good to me for giving you. Best man. My true love. Father of my children."

The two embraced each other warmly. Their hearts are filled with such great love. Nothing can separate them, because the sacred bond between them has become a lifelong bond that can only be separated by death.

"Quick healthy dear. You must regain your strength. I can't wait for Levina to arrive."

"Levina?" edewina asked confusedly.

"Yes. Lathan's sister. I want a girl's voice in the house."

Edewina. "Sir Sen. Lukaku's not dry yet, have asked his sister Lathan."

Reo hugged his wife. "Yes. Change if you're ready to get pregnant again."

"I don't want to. Two is enough, right?" edewina Whine.

"As far as you are, baby. And it's up to God alone." said Reo no longer dare to talk.

2 Years later......

Edewina sprinkled flowers on the tomb of the opa Edriges. The old man eventually died after two years of living in England with Edewina. He spent his last days with his two children Edewina until he finally asked to return to Indonesia on the grounds that he had missed the pilgrimage to the grave of his wife. It turns out that after 2 days arrived in Indonesia, opa Edriges actually died without any pain. Mahira found him lying in his bedroom hugging a picture of his wife.

"Darling, let's go home. It's almost night. Everyone who came to the funeral has returned. Poor Leon and Lathan. The two of them must also be sad because their great-grandfather is no more." Reo persuades Edewina, who seems unwilling to leave her opanya's grave.

"Opa spent his last days with me. I feel lonely to go home to Manchester without any more opa." cried Edewina.

"Opa is happy, baby. He's found the best place next to Oma."

Edewina nodded. She rubbed the headboards of Edriges' opa and stood up and followed her husband's steps to return home to her parents.

Mahira and Edmond hugged their daughter who did not stop crying when she arrived home.

"Mommy, don't cry. Edmond opa said, opa Edriges is already in heaven. Opa will continue to see us from heaven. Leon is not sad anymore because Leon knows that opa will still see us from up there." Leon said as he rubbed Edewina's tears. Leon, who is now almost 7 years old, already quite understand what it is to lose.

"Yes dear.Mami is fine. Where's Lathan?" ask Edewina.

"Lathan's been sleeping in the room. Just finished eating and taking a bath, Lathan said she was sleepy."

"Leon, let's go to sleep. Don't leave Ade alone in the room." Edewina.

Leon nodded. He is a obedient child. Not until asked twice, he immediately headed to the room where his sister slept to accompany Lathan.

"Darling, you eat first huh? Mami has made your favorite Manado porridge." said Mahira.

"All right."

Reo hugged his wife's shoulder and immediately headed to the dining room. Food is arranged there.

The four of them sat at the dining table. Reo took food for Edewina. But when Edewina smelled Manado porridge, he suddenly felt nauseous. "I'm going to throw up" Edewina said, then ran to the bathroom.

Reo was surprised to see his wife. He soon pursued Edewina's steps. "Darling, what's wrong?"

Reo saw that Edewina was vomiting in the bathroom.

Edewina cleaned her mouth with water, then came out of the bathroom.

"What date is it?" ask Edewina.

"December 5th. Why why?"

"The birthday of Mark's son, the end of October, right?"

"Yes. The 24th. Why anyway? How about asking for a date?"

"When Mark's birthday, I'm on my third day. Ought to. By the end of November, I had my period again. Maybe because I was too busy preparing for the return of opa here, I forgot my moon date."

"What do you mean?"

"Sir Sen, I've been late for the month for 11 days."

Reo's eyes were perfectly rounded.

"And I'm never late for the moon." continued Edewina.

Reo's eyes glazed over. "Aren't you taking contraception anymore?"

"I should inject again after my period. But I forgot because opa suddenly said she wanted to go back to Indonesia."

Reo hugged Edewina. "My dear. Best wife. The woman I've wanted all my life. I'm sure you're pregnant." Reo let go of his embrace and lowered his head while pecking at Edewina's stomach. "Welcome Levina. Finally the prayer was answered."

"What if the one who came was not Levina? What if the one present is a baby boy."

Reo held both sides of Edewina's cheeks. "Why this time, I feel that Levina is really growing in your belly" Reo said with confidence.

**********

Edewina looked at the family photos. There he was hugging Levina who was 5 years old and Reo who was hugging their two sons Leon and Lathan.

"Darling.....!" Reo hugged Edewina from behind. They are now in the village house. Did not feel 18 years they have enjoyed happiness as a married couple.

Many have gone. Edewina the Clara's best friend who died in a car accident with her husband. Aunt Adeline has also left. And the Almonds were deeply saddened when Jack Almond shut down his age 1 year ago because of a sudden heart attack.

Daniel, Riani's first husband is also dead.

The Almonds have lifted the ban on Kennard Lim from coming to England. The man came 3 months to visit his adoptive father.

Ken and Indira have 2 children. Both men. Mark and Sinta also have 2 children. Both female.

"What are you doing here?" reo asked as he hugged his wife from behind.

Edewina turned her body so she could look at her husband. Some gray hair has started to grow between Reo's brown hair. Her husband never dyed her hair. Their daughter Levina also said that her papi looks like a hot Daddy with some gray hair.

"Where are the kids?" ask Edewina.

"Levina was watching a Korean drama in the living room. Lathan is still playing games and Leon is confiding with Oma Riani in the kitchen while enjoying hot chocolate."

"What murhat?"

"It looks like a girl."

Edewina. "Have my son started falling in love?"

"Honey, he's 4 months and 17 years old. It's only natural that he starts liking the opposite sex."

"Do you know who that girl is?"

"The mama's going to be kepo now huh..."

Edewina laughs. "I don't want him hanging out with a bad kid."

"Name Merry."

"Merry?"

"If you don't hear wrong. I was eavesdropping a little too."

"Basic you are! But who's Merry?"

"Merry's Mark and Sinta's son."

"Ah my son.why every time Merry comes he looks so cute."

"Who is that?"

Edewina looked at her husband."Not my nature."

"It's not my nature either."

"Eh...kok quarrel?" Leon, Lathan and Levina suddenly appear and hug their mother and father.

"No fighting, baby. Papi just said that mami is more beautiful." said Reo made his three children frown their forehead while looking at each other and finally compact to talk.

"Lebay....!"

Laughter they decorate the small house. Riani who heard in the kitchen was smiling happily. She looked at the portrait of her husband hanging there.

I've never been lonely, baby. Because there are them. I have to honestly say I miss you.

Reo and Edewina cuddle with their three children. It is sweet destiny that has united them even though it must be passed with many tears.
