I was so tired this afternoon, without me noticing I almost missed my Ashar prayer.I opened my eyes and slowly rubbed around my enlarged stomach. because every time he moves fast and feels kicking will be calm again after feeling the touch of my hand while whispering a prayer for my future son who will soon be present in the world.
In my heart I asked "where was Anwar who was sleeping next to me?". I spread my gaze throughout the room but the shadow was not there. I act for ablution and perform the worship of four rakaat first. let the curious answer by itself.
I finished praying for my life. I fold the face and prayer mats and keep them in the place as usual.I thought Anwar again.
Why haven't you been back all this time???
Hope to find an answer. I took my feet out of the room, asked Sifa or mother. My stomach felt heavier, so I had to wrap the bottom with both palms to make it more comfortable.
"Big brother why?" Sifa looked at me confusedly.
"Gpp deck, what's wrong with me brother, deck?" I asked back. Wonder.
"Look at my brother's face flushed and puffy, what's going on?"
"No. brother just woke up and ready to pray ashar. oh, yes deck, you see mas Anwar come out?"
"Sifa saw that sister-in-law was out but didn't say anything.Try sister just call!" Sifa had a point too. I twisted my body back but suddenly "huuh. "my stomach and waist hurt a lot.
"mother.. mother... sister Aira Bu..." Sifa ran away leaving her cooking.
The mother who was busy cleaning the back garden was surprised by Sifa's cry of reflex running close to the screaming voice.
"Aira, are you going to give birth?" mother held Aira who held back the pain in her abdomen with Sifa.
"Yes, just rest first." mom held my arm to stand up and helped Aira walk slowly to the living room. Sitting leaning on the sofa with your legs flat, you want to wash your hands and shower first.
Aira told me she was hungry. Sifa took food a full plate of rice, side dishes, sambal and vegetables for Aira. after saying thank you Aira put food in her mouth with a spoon repeatedly. after finishing half the meal Aira drank a glass of water.
"Sister-in-law number, can't be contacted.."
Sifa informed after several times contacting Anwar's phone.
Until the next morning, there was no word from Anwar. his phone was not activated. Aira was very worried, I don't know what happened to her husband. But also afraid to tell his family, because it will hurt him more. Not to mention the abdominal and waist pain that he had to endure.This situation made Aira have to leave for college again.
On the night of the 3rd day Anwar finally returned to Aira's house. Aira's father and mother who saw him enter the house just to answer the greetings without asking this. they chose to be silent and not interfere in the household affairs of his son.
Anwar entered his room and found his wife asleep. He stared at all parts of Aira's body that tilted to the right from behind him. There was regret arising in his mind.
You must be sad these few days, because I didn't tell you. I'm really sorry Aira. I'm not leaving you again, no matter what..
