Hello, Ex
Chapter 47



On Saturday, Aundy was seen coming home early. The girl cheered happily seeing her uti and Akung in the tavern. The Word has arranged their arrival. Even Salma was shocked to see they could reach the tavern.


"Sabda has told me the same story of mother and father" said Bu Deva, wiping Salma's arm, trying to comfort her. The pale and puffy face that Salma showed, made Bu Deva sure his daughter's mentality was being galvanized all-out. Luckily, he decided to come. Otherwise, he wouldn't have known what Salma was.


"Mom, Salma still wants to wait for a miracle. Who knows the day after tomorrow or even one more week Ody's sister-to-be could shift herself into the womb."


"Salma ...." Miss Deva called out softly. "Mother far away will feel guilty should something bad happen to you!"


The mother's speech sounded much more assertive, making Salma again remember the rhythm of the heartbeat of her future child. How could she let go of something that had already made her fall in love when she heard her heartbeat alone.


"But, Mum?"


Bu Deva asked Salma to look at Aundy who was playing dakon with Mr. Arif. "He, and the Word still needs you. They love you Salma. Don't be selfish! I'm sure God will replace the better."


Salma's cry broke out, quickly Deva's mother caught Salma's body. "If not?! What if not, Mom? What if Salma's son is just Ody?!"


"Salma, listen to me! The child is a blessing, the more children the more responsibility you will have. And remember not only the world, but in the hereafter you will also be asked how your responsibility to your child. Even if God only gave you Ody. Yeah no problem. That means your accountability isn't so much."


Salma's body felt increasingly limp, his head getting heavier and finally hollowed on Bu Deva's shoulder. The stomach cramps that were felt increased greatly, but what was more painful was his inner self, inevitably he had to accept the fact that his decision had to let go.


"Mother, is this a curse from Bu Habibah because we married without her blessing? Is our marriage wrong, so God punishes us like this?"


"Salma!" sentak Bu Deva's. "Don't talk carelessly! I know it's hard for you. But you can't be so prejudiced! God's plan is the best plan of man. It should be with this kind of trial that you remember God more and more, that you point out that you can face everything hard."


Silence, only the sound of Salma's crying could be heard. She was crying in her mother's arms.


"That's sincere, son! Cry, after this you should be able to let go. I love you too, I don't want anything to happen to you."


Salma was silent, she finished her cries first, before finally nodding her head. "Salma will follow the doctor's advice, ma'am. But, Salma wanted to hear Sabda's heartbeat first. He must know that Salma didn't lie to him. There's a kid in Salma's stomach!" to be honest it was not Salma's will, he just wanted to buy time for separation with his future son.


At two o'clock in the afternoon, Salma was still in the room, Bu Deva forced her to rest upon seeing her increasingly pale condition. Aundy did not dare to approach after hearing an explanation from Bu Deva who said that Salma was sick.


At exactly three o'clock, a car stopped in front of the store. Apparently Sabda who applied for emergency leave has arrived in Java. The man immediately ran into a store that was still quite crowded. After not seeing Salma, he ran to the second floor, entering his wife's room.


The Word slowed down the sound of her footsteps when she realized Salma was sleeping. Not to disturb Salma's rest. But Sabda just wants to tell you through physical touch, as if to explain if everything will be okay.


Word landed a kiss almost all over Salma's face, hugging her to calm down and releasing the longing that had been held up all this time. And unfortunately, his activities interfere with Salma's sleep time. He squirms and then looks up.


"Mas Word!" ogre.


This time Salma did not answer, Salma's lips trembled, slowly and surely her cries burst out. The Word could only allow Salma to satisfy herself to finish her crying. It was excruciating to hear Salma's cry.


"Why is this crying? We can still make it again." The word tries to comfort. "We can first explore other love styles. If you're pregnant now you can't." lirih Sabda lips relentlessly traced the skin of Salma's face, helped wipe her tears.


"Darling, we should immediately follow the doctor said yes! My boss told me yesterday, his wife also experienced something similar with you. And his fallopian tubes were cut because they were too late and damaged. He only has one tube on the left. If you want to get pregnant again. Better follow the doctor. Don't let you experience anything similar to my Kabag's wife!"


"Tomorrow we go to the doctor. After that you decide I'll obey what your orders are." Salma answered.


The word smiled wryly. Then again landed a kiss on Salma's forehead. "I will always be by your side. We face this together." this time he stopped giving kisses, he hugged Salma tightly as if to unite their bodies.


"Mas Sabda isn't angry with me?"


"Why should I be angry with you?" The word goes back to asking. "Nobody is to blame if it is God's decree. We have to keep going."


"But I can't get pregnant, I can't take care of your son, Mas."


"Who said? that's Ody, he's our son. He was born from your womb! Honey, yes, calm down, don't think about it. Even if you just give me Ody, I won't stop trying to make you happy. I will not stop loving you either. So do not worry, the purpose of marriage is so that we can complement each other, not demand each other. I'm not papa, and I'm not angry with you at all. So don't think too far."


"Will you cheat because you want to have children?"


"His mind is getting naughty!" As for her own words, she had to bite Salma's nose. "Do I need to be pitted against my loyalty?"


Salma shook her head quickly. He began to calm down, slowly he was able to sincerely live his life's destiny.


They plan to see a doctor tomorrow. But it seems Salma was too stressed, until after performing the prayer isya he actually bleeding and was rushed to the hospital.


When Salma felt severe pain in his stomach, Sabda was not far from the gurney that is now occupied. The man helped rub his stomach, as if knowing what to do could ease the pain.


To the next day Salma was only handled by an obstetrician. Before the action, once again Salma wanted to see his future son. Doctor Wira complied, but apparently it only made his sadness increase. Even Sabda sitting next to him could only endure the crying as the doctor recorded the heart rhythm of their second child.


"Alhamdulillah you took his decision quickly and precisely, his fallopian tubes can still be repaired. So only the fetus needs to be removed."


The two of them did not respond, but Sabda could feel the grip of Salma's hand on her palm growing tighter. They are trying to strengthen each other.


Exactly at ten in the morning, Salma underwent a laparoscopic process of fetal removal. This is done quickly by an expert doctor. In contrast to his inner wounds that might leave a deep sadness.


"After this, we won't go far. I'll take you with me. Our marriage will be just the way you want it to be. You will be tired of waiting for me to come home from work, how to bother taking care of me and Ody." said the Word, after the process was completed. "So continues, until our children grow up, until we get old, until we become grandparents and until God calls one of us."
