Love of the Past

Finding Peace with You

The sound of crying babies from inside the delivery room made Neva and Rangga who were sitting in front of the room look at each other.

"She was born" said Rangga with a face so happy.

"Congratulations, Rangga." Neva hugged Rangga.

"Thank you, Neva." said Rangga happily. Neva had indeed forbidden Rangga to call her mistress. Neva wants Rangga to consider him a friend like himself and Dona.

This morning, while Dona was playing with Ekel, she had a very remarkable contraction. Rangga and Neva immediately took him to the hospital while Eldar accompanied Ekel at home because the children were not allowed to enter the hospital.

Shortly after, doctor Mina who handled Dona came out. "Baby girl. So pretty. It weighs 3.2 kg. You can see a little more."

"My wife?"

"healthy. She's a very strong woman. After cleaning, will be taken to the treatment room.

10 Minutes later, the sisters brought Dona's newborn child. Rangga was given the opportunity to hug his daughter. Her hair was black, like Rangga's hair, her skin still looked pink. But Neva was sure her skin would be as pale white as Dona's.

Neva immediately took a picture of the boy and sent it to Eldar. He was sure that Ekel was very curious about the face of the son of Dona. Sure enough, after the photo was sent, Eldar directly contacted him via Videocall call.

"Hallo darling.....!" Neva greets her son.

"Where is Elinora, mommy?"

Dona always said her son's name to Ekel. That's why he knew the name of the boy.

"It's been taken to the nursery, baby. It has to be bobo first. Mommy's photos tomorrow."

"Keep mommy Dona where? All right, all right?"

"Yes. Mommy Dona is also on break. So it can't be disturbed. If mommy Dona and sister Elinora are back home, we'll visit her."

"Job.....!" Ekel looked very happy. Behind him Eldar was also happy.

"Darling, I'll be a little late and just get home. You're not going out, are you?" ask Neva.

Eldar nodded. It's Saturday and he almost always doesn't come in even if some of his employees come in even if it's only until 1pm.

"Speak congratulations to Rangga and Dona."

"alright. I'll close first, okay?" saying goodbye to Neva when he saw that Dona had been pushed out of the delivery room.

************

Rangga stroked his wife's face. "You're getting prettier after being a mother."

Dona sneers. "Beautiful what? I gained up to 9 kg. My cheeks are as chubby as this."

Rangga laughed at his wife. "Honey, I actually like your body that looks like it contains this. I don't mind. You are willing to be fat to give birth to our children. And she is very beautiful." said Rangga.

"Review if you dare to glance at another girl. I escaped to the Philippines with Elinora."

The laughter grew bigger. "Where could I dare to cheat on you. I'm sure before you took Elinora, you broke my arms and legs first."

The two are laughing together. "I love you, baby. I swear by anything, I will never exchange the happiness I have now. I feel at peace with you. You are the happiness that God has given me." said Rangga then kissed Dona's forehead very gently.

Neva who was just about to enter undoed her intentions. He let the moment together they enjoy. Happiness because God can give children in their lives. Neva involuntarily rubbed her own stomach. Her tears fell. Can I get pregnant again, God?

************

"Maz ....!" Greet Neva as she grabs her husband's hand and kisses him gently.

"Kok deserted, Ekel where?" asked Eldar when he could not find his son at home. Usually when he comes home from work, his son will welcome him.

"Continue dong. Daddy and mommy have plenty of time to make love this weekend. How about we just stay at the villa?"

"Can. We're leaving tomorrow?"

"No. We're leaving now. I take a shower, you get our clothes ready. Not too much, huh? Because I thought, we'd be more naked in there."

"Basic." Neva patted her husband's stomach with anxiety. He was very confident that Eldar would bring about what he said.

2 Days in the villa makes Neva and Eldar have a lot of time together. Neva had stopped working and she chose to focus on taking care of her plants at home.

"Darling, yesterday I met his mother Kintan" Eldar said, hugging Neva. They just went through a sex session in the pool and now while enjoying a hot coffee made by Neva. The villa is surrounded by a high fence and the villa guards have been gone since Eldar and Neva came.

Neva looked at her husband. "Where?"

"In the supermarket when I bought Ekel's milk. He was with a boy almost a year old. He said it was Kintan and Erdogan's son."

"We've even forgotten about Kintan. It turned out she had given birth."

"The first story is that Kintan did not want his mother to visit while carrying his son. Kintan only saw his son from photos and videos that his mother showed."

"Hopefully it has changed? The presence of a child can change many things."

Eldar holds Neva's hand. "I'd be so happy if we only had Ekel. Don't be burdened to give Ekel a sister. He's already quite happy to have Elinora."

Neva nodded.

"Mas, what about Mami Elif. Every mother comes, she is silent. Don't want to talk."

Eldar. "I love mom, Ev. It's just that the wound I felt when I found out my mother deliberately separated us doesn't feel well yet. Because of my mother's actions, I went through your pregnancy. I also went through the golden years of Ekel's growth. Papi died without knowing Ekel."

"Mas, all the ways of our lives have been arranged by God. Now is not the time to blame each other. Mama also seems to have regretted."

Eldar kissed his wife's cheek. He himself did not understand his heart. I don't know why it's so hard to forgive the woman who gave birth to him. Eldar never forbade Mami Elif to meet Ekel. He even allowed when Elif took Ekel vacation to Bali. However, her mouth was always locked whenever faced with her mother. Eldar doesn't know when he can talk to his mama again.

Gina gave birth 2 weeks ahead of Dona. His son is male. Gina temporarily stayed with her mother because she had no experience taking care of children. Elif seems to be happier with the birth of Gina's child. Only, he missed his eldest son. Missing the moment Eldar spoiled and talked to him.

**********

Eldar ran into the hospital where Neva was being treated. He is surprised to get a call from the driver that Neva fainted while picking up Ekel at school. Ekel himself was already together with Omanya. Neva is guarded by the driver in the hospital.

When Eldar opened the Neva treatment door, the nurse appeared to have just finished checking Neva's body temperature.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" ask Eldar without hiding his worries.

"Quiet, mas. I'm fine." Neva said. The sister who examined Neva left the room, leaving Neva and Eldar.

"But why is it treated here?" asked Eldar while pointing at the infusion hose in Neva's hand.

"Doctor said I'm fine, ma'am. It's just that I need to rest. Because I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant?" asked Eldar almost in disbelief.

"Yes. The doctor said it was 7 weeks. I didn't realize I was late for my period. God answers our prayers."

Eldar kissed his wife. She never demanded that Neva get pregnant again because she knew Neva was burdened with wanting to have another child. "Alhamdulillah. Thank you God." said Eldar. He immediately prostrated to the floor as a sign of gratitude given the confidence to be a parent again.
