Heru looked at Alina and Ghazi who were fast asleep. Heru just realized, why is Alina already at home at this hour? Alina should still be in the hospital
But the question he ignored, Heru more need to rest while hugging his wife and baby. An opportunity that has become rare lately. Because they are often busy with their respective affairs, until this simple togetherness feels sanhat means. And soon, even this kind of togetherness will be even more impossible, at least in the next year.
Alina squirmed and opened her eyes slowly. Alina felt a warmth and something heavy overstretched her body. It turned out that Heru's hands were coiled around his waist. Alina put the hand away slowly, not wanting to disturb her tired-looking husband's sleep. Alina is feeling better now. Alina then goes to the kitchen, wanting to do something for her husband. Something he hadn't done in a long time and Alina missed him. That afternoon, Alina chose to make fried bananas. Her husband's favorite simple snack. Alina also brews Heru's favorite milk coffee. But not yet finished Alina with her activities in the kitchen, a pair of burly hands grabbed her from behind.
"What is it, baby?"
Alina was surprised and when she turned her cheeks against her husband's lips.
"Ah, Mas Heru.bikin just surprised! Wait up ahead..I'll be done soon..."
Alina pushed Heru's body in annoyance. But Heru still won't budge.
"I'll stay here, keep you company until you're done..."
"Alright, but Mas just sit down, don't be like this.I can't move..."
Heru pinched Alina's cheek anxiously, before moving on.
"Okay, baby, I'll see you from here..."
Heru continued to stare at Alina who was busy in the kitchen, before then the sound of Ghazi crying came from inside the room.
"Let me..."
Heru hurriedly took the sleeping Ghazi in the room, then carried him. Ghazi instantly calmed down as he carried his father.
Meanwhile, Alina is finished and serves fried bananas and coffee on the front porch.
Heru follows Alina by smouldering Ghazi.
"Please eat it..."
Alina took Ghazi from her husband's sling.
"Yes..."
"Iina..."
They talk almost simultaneously.
"What's up, Mom?"
"There's actually something I want to talk to you about, Alina..."
"I'm also Mas, but mas first..What's Mas?"
"I will be assigned to Kalimantan for one year, two more weeks I have to leave Alina...."
Alina was silent for a moment, trying to digest the information her husband gave her.
"What's Alina? It's okay, right? Do you mind?"
Heru looked at Alina who was still speechless with an expression he did not understand. Heru held onto Alina's arm and stared into her wife's eyes.
"It looks like I'm pregnant Mas.", said Alina stammered.
Heru also grabbed the body of his wife who was still holding Ghazi. And then one kiss landed on Alina's forehead.
"Thank you dear, for conceiving my son..."
Say Heru sincerely. Of course Heru was very happy to hear that news. Although on the other hand Heru is also aware, the days ahead will be harder for them to live, especially for Alina.
Alina said that she was still hesitant about her pregnancy.
"Then tonight I'll take you to the gynecologist..."
After that they continued chatting on the porch of the house. Alina told me about her activities today until she fainted and left early.
"You should be more careful after this and do not get tired..."
Heru advised. But then Heru realized that most likely Alina felt exhausted was because she had to divide the time between work and taking care of the family. Tucked guilt in Heru's heart. Because as the head of the family, Heru realized that his income had not been how much. Especially for an Alina who is accustomed to living abundant material. Alina has been willing to live a simple life with him and Heru also realized that Alina had been willing to use her personal money for family purposes. Especially as long as Heru returned to education and only provided Alina from savings money that is not how much.
"I'm sorry, Alina, until now I haven't been a good family...."
"Don't say so, you're the best priest for me and our children.I'm just a little worried..."
"Don't think too much, we just go as we can. God gave us this gift, it means God believes that we are capable..."
He tried to calm his wife. Although in his heart Heru was also very worried. He will be away from his wife and children. Alina was the one who had to bear the burden of separation.
"Yes, I'll do everything I can..."
I don't know why after telling stories and hearing the advice of her husband Alina so feel more calm and confident. She will be a mother to the child in her womb. He should be thankful for that gift. And of course he cannot be weak. A mother will do anything for her baby.
After enjoying a sad afternoon together, they entered the house. Alina bathed Ghazi and then fed him. Ghazi ate with lahab and it brought his own happiness to Alina.
Meanwhile, Heru was cleaning himself to the bathroom. When finished, Heru changed to look after Ghazi.
"Get up and be ready, we'll go to the doctor after maghrib..."
"Yes, yeah..."
Alina immediately took a shower and prepared. After the adhan maghrib reverberated they performed congregational prayers at home only.
Alina again entrust Ghazi to Ma'am Sitha and say goodbye will go with Heru.
On the way Heru turned on the music and continued to hold Alina's hand. It's been a long time since they've gone both ways like this. If it wasn't for this kind of urgent reason, maybe they wouldn't have done it either.
"Mas, the house will stop by to buy fried kwetiau huh?"
Alina suddenly said in silence.
"Well, has started nyidam ya pregnant mother?", led Heru with a small laugh.
Alina pinched her husband's arm.
"Alright, let alone kwetiau, go to the moon also you participate..."
It did not feel like they had reached the hospital. After various examinations, Alina tested positive for pregnancy and all her health conditions were declared good.
Heru and Alina were very happy and grateful to hear that. The fruit of their love is residing in Alina's womb.
After returning from the hospital, Heru fulfilled his promise to buy Alina kwetiau goreng.
This time they chose to eat on the spot while enjoying the atmosphere of the two. And it turns out that it makes the kwetiau that is interrupted feel more delicious on the tongue of Alina.
"Good boy, thank you so much..."
"Yes eat a lot, before leaving I promise to bring you here again..."
They both ate with lahab. This sweet and simple date show is so memorable and will continue to be remembered Alina.
