Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

Goodbye to Jakarta

"Darling, are you done?" reno shouted from downstairs to Tenri who was still in the room on the second floor of his house.

"In a moment, Daeng. Wait, I'm a little troubled by this." Tenri answered with a slight shout.

"Oh wait, then I'll go upstairs."

Up above Reno shook his head to see Tenri's luggage.

"Honey, what's this much for?" reno asked in surprise to see two large bags.

"By-by. I haven't been home in a long time, our family would love to be brought by. It's okay, honey, it's not much."

Reno smiled, "Yes you've walked first, let me carry these two big bags."

Tenri carefully went down the stairs and Reno who was carrying two large bags. He had worried for Tenri when he went down the stairs because his stomach was getting bigger. He was afraid of his wife whining or slipping, but those worries were answered already when Tenri arrived below safe.

"Just get in the car, don't bring anything else. You've been carrying such a heavy load, you have to carry more stuff, honey." Reno reminded Tenri attentively.

Finally all their luggage managed to get into the rental car that has been booked online. Because it is not possible to use their own vehicle to the airport while maybe they will stay a long time in Makassar.

The roar of the car engine was heard as an introduction to their journey from home and the city of Jakarta.

"Sir, please don't speed too much. My wife is pregnant again" Reno told the driver who took them to Soekarno Hatta Airport.

"Dad sir, understood."

Along the way, Reno unceasingly clasped his wife's fingers. Just like Tenri who was endlessly staring at her husband full of happiness. She was grateful, Reno turned into this gentle and caring for her.

Reno's hand grip feels warm on Tenri's skin, it's true that in the household it takes patience to achieve happiness. The long process that Tenri had to go through over the past few months became a trial for him. Marriage because of arranged marriage, it does not always meet a smooth path. Sometimes one or both parties end up choosing to separate after marriage because they feel there is no match or the two cannot love each other.

For Tenri, marriage is still marriage, regardless of whether he is betrothed or not. Much the same. His household must be saved and it needs sacrifice in it.

"I can't wait to get to Makassar, daeng." Tenri who suddenly exclaimed when they had already reached the airport.

"Dad, I'm too, baby. I can't wait, our child-to-be is celebrated seven months. That means soon I'll be Papa and you'll be Mama. It must feel different, right? Just say my heart is pounding. Honey, I've never been this happy before." Reno chimed in on Tenri's words.

The two of them got out of the car and Reno picked up a trolley to transport all their luggage. Before entering, they are asked to show proof of ticket as prospective passengers. After that, they checked in and waited in the waiting room.

Reno walked while writhing his wife's arm, especially because Tenri was a little difficult when climbing stairs or down stairs. He patiently and painstakingly helped Tenri on the road so as not to fall or lose balance.

"Darling, I can do it myself." Tenri felt that there was no need to be treated that way because she still felt she could. But Reno Keukeh did not want his wife to walk alone without his help.

"No way, you'll fall and I'll have to bear the guilt of a lifetime for you and our extended family. So I better take good care of you and we can both get to Makassar safely. Hehe."

"Yes, thank you, darling."

"Here, your head just put Tenri here. I'll wake up when our plane leaves. You have to rest a lot, travel to get to the waiting room you must be a little tired."

Tenri obeyed all her husband's lectures, later Reno was indeed very chatty. But Tenri likes it because it means Reno is getting more attention on him.

***

Calls for planes flying to Makassar have started to be heard on airport loudspeakers.

"Darling, that's our plane. Get up, we'll be leaving soon." Reno rubbed Tenri's cheek to wake her up.

The gentle rub of his hand was realized by Tenri and he gasped awake from his sleep.

"Would you leave, right?" tanyakanya.

"Dad, Honey. Let's get in line to exchange tickets."

They rushed and walked following a long queue of passengers to get into the fuselage.

After a bit of drama jostling, they could finally also sit on a chair that matched the seat number on their ticket.

"You're on the inside, I'm on the outside. I don't want anyone else to even touch your skin. Hehe."

Tenri only smiled slightly, her husband being protective this time around. However, whatever it is he is very happy because they can together return to Makassar. Especially in Reno conditions that have changed a lot. All families will be happy.

"Darling, I've always been so clueless when I actually got on a plane." Tenri poured out his heart when the plane was rumored to be taking off soon.

"Here, you calm down I'll cover your ears so you don't worry too much. Usually the plane will experience a little turbulence. But it's okay, you don't have to be afraid."

Both of Tenri's ears were covered by Reno's hands. Just then they were very close, Tenri could even feel Reno's breath blowing on her face. He was so close to Reno. I don't know why he always felt that way. It may have been a long time ago, Tenri fell in love with her husband. Only he didn't realize it from the beginning.

Reno smiled at him, and Tenri's chest again rustled coldly.

"Daeng, don't look at me like that, your gaze makes me breathless."

"Haha .. You are there. Where there are people stared at then feel his chest tight. But, I'm the same darling, I feel my heart pounding. Listen to this ...."

Reno brought Tenri's head closer to his chest. Tenri felt a little nervous, even she could hear her husband's heartbeat this close. And, Reno's heart does pump faster. Like his heart rhythm at the moment.

"Hihi, Daeng why is your heart beating so fast like this?"

"It's because of you, because you've made me the luckiest man to have you, Tenri."

After the plane became normal because it was at the height it should be, they could sit quietly. Tenri's head was now leaning again on Reno's shoulder. Both of them seemed to want to sleep because their journey was still two hours away.
