Husband, If Your Father Is On Your Mother, Your Sins Are On Me

Episode 24

"If according to Neng mah ya justin he married. With one note, his college next year should be in order. Eh Mas, by the way, which child is Ana's candidate? College or work?"

My curiosity multiplied because this was only this time I witnessed it myself. Ana is the type of child who likes to argue, but she still obeys the words of the mother. If now Ana has not listened to mother, I don't know what situation actually happened there.

"I said Mom was already working, just that, I'm hard if until college Ana did not settle."

I fell silent and then said,

"Yes, if you are rich, then marry. But as Neng said. College has to be done. Either her marriage is postponed until Ana graduates. Or get married now but still go to college.

But Mas, maap nih ya Neng nanya. But Ana's not how's it going, is she? What do you mean, if marriage is not that people think because something has happened, Mas."

Mas Yandri sighed.

"Mas also nanya that was to Mom. Mom said, Ana said no why-why. But yes Mother became strange because Ana insisted on asking for a spit marriage.

Ana's marriage was easy. You have to meet the prospective family first, there is a talk first, there is a base first. Well, I'm confused as to how. Mom just took her to Mas, can't we go home first. Mas said yes should be discussed with you first, Neng."

Replace it now I'm the one who breathed a long sigh.

"If Mom wants us to go home, it's the best. Neng cape Mas if you have to go home. Take a plane, keep on going home. The content of Neng is also great this loh. It's getting hard everywhere."

Mas Yandri nodded.

"Yes that makes Mas confused Neng. If we go home, you'll definitely be exhausted. Mas do not want to take the risk if you until the soy sauce keeps why-why. If Mas himself comes home, automatically you are also here alone. Later we talk again, Mas still confused by the news that I love."

We were both silent with our thoughts until late at night.

***

After several days of back and forth talking about this, a decision was already established. Mas Yandri will return to Bandung alone. His responsibilities as a boy made him inevitably take on the role of surrogate father to Ana. My own father died a long time ago, when Lita was still in Elementary School. From then on, she took on a dual role. As a mother and as a breadwinner.

***

"Yes yes. Neng will continue to ngabarin Mas. Relax atuh. Focus on the business there. Greetings Mother, say sorry, Neng can't come."

The online taxi that will take Mas Yandri to the airport has arrived. After hugging me for a long time, he left the house.

"This fetal position is already good, there are still many roads so as to go down to the pelvis. But don't go overboard. Just a minute, but the frequency is frequent. In addition, his prostration position also continues again."

The midwife who examined me said at length. My gibbon's been 7 months. All normal and healthy. It's just that my blood pressure is a little higher than usual.

"Don't think too much, the trigger of high blood pressure is one of the thoughts that proceed to stress. If it continues like this, it will endanger the mother and fetus later after childbirth. Sweet foods are limited as well, fearing the weight of the fetus increases. Which is now normal. Brought happy aja ya." The midwife closed the conversation cordially.

***

Mas Yandri turned out to have to stay longer than planned. From seven days to ten days. He didn't say much about the problem there, maybe to keep me from coming to mind.

***

From the morning my stomach feels heartburn, sometimes it goes away. I called my midwife and she said it was normal. Usually it is called a false contraction and it is normal to occur in almost all pregnant women. The cause could be because of the exhaustion. He advised me not to overdo it.

Late in the afternoon after Ashar, Ms. RT knocked on my door. He intends to provide an official circular from RT related to the donation of renovation of the mosque in our complex. When I was going to take my wallet, the urge to pee was so overwhelming to me, and I decided to go to the bathroom first.

I rushed over for fear that Ms. RT was waiting for a long time in the living room. Without realizing it, I didn't dry my feet properly. Just as I was about to leave the room, I slipped and fell down with a loud noise.

"Mom Rere!" Ms. RT shouted and ran to me.

"Bu Rere, why not!? Is anyone sick!?"

I ignored the question from Ms. RT. My eyes focused on the bottom of the shirt that felt wet. As I moved a little, the blood flow was clearly visible.

"Please!" The screams of Ms. RT were the last thing I heard before the darkness engulfed my body.
