Love of the Past

Want to Have a Big Brother

Rangga and Dona sat next to each other in the gazebo in the backyard of Eldar's house. Remnants of Ekel's birthday celebration decorations are still hanging there and have not been cleaned.

The day is getting late but Dona has lost her drowsiness, as well as Rangga.

From the balcony of his room, Neva could see the couple. He knew that Dona loved EKel very much. Dona's time was even more for Ekel compared to her.

"Mas, how am I supposed to persuade Dona to continue her pregnancy?" neva asked as she sensed that Eldar was hugging her from behind.

"Let Rangga solve the problems between them, baby. We'll talk when Rangga asks for it."

Neva looked up at her head while looking at her husband. "According to the mas, will Ekel be jealous when Dona pays more attention to her child?"

"I don't know, honey. But I think Ekel is old enough to be a big brother."

"Maybe Dona's just scared, baby?" neva.

"According to you, Ekel's son is possessive?"

"He is possessive. Who would you like to come with if not your father?" neva asked a little insinuating.

Eldar chuckles. "I did?"

Neva held her husband's cheek. "You remember when we were in Sidney? How many guys almost got into a fight with you because you didn't like the way they looked at me?"

"You're beautiful, anyway. It is fitting that many like. And I'm lucky to be the only man you love."

The couple kissed very affectionately.

"Yuk bobo! Let Rangga and Dona solve their problems." ask Eldar.

"Really bobo?" neva asked with a slightly seductive look.

"Bobo after one round."

Neva pinched her husband's stomach. "Basic!" But she did not refuse when her husband lifted her body and took her to their love bed.

***********

"Honey, we're going home yuk!"

Dona shakes. "I want to be here. I promised Ekel I'd sleep here."

"alright. But don't sit here. You are pregnant."

Dona looked at Rangga. "Ga, please. Don't force me to accept this pregnancy. I'm not ready to have a child, Ga. Just get married because it was framed by Neva."

"But we can't throw it away. It's a sin, Na. The child is God's gift. He will come if God has allowed him to be in your womb."

Doan let go of Rangga's hand that was hugging his waist. "Ga, I don't want Ekel to stay away from me because I love other children. You know, ever since Ekel was a little girl, if Neva and I were hugging another baby, Ekel would always be angry and crying."

"So, is that why you're going to sacrifice our child?"

"You know that I love EKel very much."

"Yes. But you also have to remember, now Ekel has been brought by the care of his parents. You have your own family."

"I don't like you talking like that, Ga. Before you came into my life, I already had Ekel." Dona looks emotional.

Rangga resentfully hit the gazebo pole with his right hand. No matter what his injured hand is. "It's up to you to do what. I want to go home !" rangga said and immediately left Dona.

"The ladder! We're not done talking!" Dona looks upset that Rangga left her. But the man did not turn his body at all. Shortly thereafter, a car engine left Eldar's yard.

Dona stomped her legs irritated. During these 6 months he was close to Rangga, they both rarely spoke from heart to heart. There are only bed activities as their initial commitment to establish a relationship. Rangga's attitude was so sweet and kind to her. But now, Dona just saw the hard attitude of Rangga. And that surprised me. We should not have married.

*********

I don't know what time Dona was asleep. What is certain is that he woke up when the clock was showing at 10 am. It's Saturday and Dona knows he's not working.

Dona slowly woke up because her head was still dizzy. He checked his phone and there were no messages from Rangga. Neva is getting upset.

After bathing and changing clothes, Dona left the room. Neva, Eldar and Ekel were sitting in the living room watching a movie.

"Good morning mommy Dona. Are you ok?" ekel asked when she saw Dona approaching them.

"Yes, honey. Ekel's having breakfast?" ask Dona.

"Yes. Breakfast with Daddy and mommy Neva. Mommy Dona woke up a long time ago."

"The ladder is not awake?" ask Eldar.

Dona shakes. "The neighbors don't sleep here."

Neva and Eldar just looked at each other without commenting anymore because there was an Ekel there.

"Mommy, the dress given by one of Daddy's friends, is too small for Ekel" Ekel told Neva.

"Oh, if that's what we'll just give it to the orphanage." Neva said because that is what he always taught to know to give.

"Don't. Keep it first, mommy. Who knows Ekel has a sister. Many of Ekel's friends at school already have younger siblings. They often wear twin clothes. It looks good."

Dona and Neva looked at each other. "Ekel want a sister?" ask Neva.

"Yes. A sister born from mommy's belly."

Neva smile. "If the little sister was born from the belly of mommy Dona, would Ekel also want to?"

"You too, dong. Everyone will be Ekel's sister. Fun yes dad, if you have two sisters at once. The one born from the belly of mommy Dona and the one born from the belly of mommy Neva" Ekel said as she looked at Eldar.

"Ekel won't be jealous? If there is a sister, then the attention of both mommy will be more to the baby sister." asked Eldar. He wanted to see how his son reacted.

"No. Now there are more people who love Ekel. There's Daddy, there's Grandma Elif, there's aunty Gina."

Neva was moved to hear her son's answer. "Honey.., you're ready to be a big brother."

Dona couldn't hold back her tears. His fear turned out to be unreasonable. Ekel wants to have a sister. "I'll go home first, okay?" pamit Dona's. He kissed Ekel before leaving the house.

Arriving at their home, Dona immediately went into the room. Find the husband who was putting his clothes in the suitcase.

"Honey, where are you going?" ask Dona.

"I want to go back to my house."

"Why? Didn't we agree to stay here?"

"I can't stay with someone who doesn't appreciate what God has given her" Rangga said, without looking at Dona. He kept putting his clothes in his suitcase.

"You want to give up on our relationship?" ask Dona while crying.

"I didn't give up but you! There are many couples in this world who miss their children. But not getting it either. But we, already given by God, are even wasted."

Dona approached Rangga. She hugged her husband from behind. "I'm sorry, honey. I'm mistaken. I will continue this pregnancy. I'm giving birth to our child."

Rangga released Dona's hand which was coiled around her stomach. "really?" ask after they face each other.

Dona nodded. Rangga immediately hugged her with an overflow of excitement. "Darling ..." They are happy because they will finally have their own children.

***********

"How did it go?" asked Eldar as Neva came out of the bathroom.

Neva threw the testpack in the trash. "Negative, mas."

"Don't despair, huh? We'll try again next month" Eldar said, grabbing Neva's hand and holding her tight.

"I don't think I'm going to get pregnant again. The age of Dona's womb has now entered its 7th month. I'm not pregnant yet. Is there something wrong with me?"

"Don't despair, dear. The doctor said we are both healthy. Maybe you should just quit your job and get plenty of rest."

"Alright, mas. I'll talk to Lorry's mom tomorrow."

Eldar hugged his wife. He wanted them to have another child soon. But Eldar can only surrender to the will of God.
