Marrying the Doctor's Widow

125. Be imagined

Meli––ibu from Jovanka smiled. When she was pregnant she was not like that. Meli is more relaxed with her pregnancy. Perhaps, every woman will be different when the womb enters a young age.

Meli approached her daughter and held Jovanka's cheek. Jovanka's pair of eyes are now looking at Meli whose lips are starting to smile. Jemari Meli gently rubbed Jovanka's hair and then tucked it in her ear.

"Honey, it's called Rey cares about you and is responsible for the baby in your stomach" said Meli slowly.

"But, Ma. Jo's locked up right now. Jo is pregnant and Jo doesn't want stress. Although Jo is not a midwife, but know that stress during pregnancy is not good."

"Yes, honey, it's only natural that you would assume that. But Mama asked for you, please understand each other. Understand your real husband what he shows is attentive, but it may be a way he doesn't understand. Just obey, Rey will also understand you." Meli rubbed Jovanka's shoulder.

Jovanka took a breath and then slowly exhaled. He tried to understand everything his mother said.

"Jo try, Ma," said Jovanka softly.

"Should. You can, remember, Rey really wants to protect you and the fetus in your womb. He loves you so much, Jo. You're lucky."

Four cups of hot tea and some snacks are ready. Meli and Jovanka walked into the living room. Jovanka's eyes rounded as her husband slept alone on the sofa. In fact, even a subtle snoring was heard.

"Look, Rey's asleep. He's a soy sauce, honey," Meli whispered to Jovanka.

Jovanka swallowed her saliva. Her heart was touched by all the chatter that the mother had made while in the kitchen. Now, his pair of eyes had opened as Reynand fell asleep on the sofa in a sitting position.

"Yes, Mom went to the room first. It looks like your father is in the room" Meli said.

Jovanka walked slowly with a drink and a snack made by her hand with Meli.

The drinks and food were placed slowly on the table, he sat down beside Reynand. Jovanka looked at her husband's tired face. Her clasped fingers grabbed Reynand's hand and then warmly kissed her.

Reynand, who had fallen asleep, woke up, surprised that there was water soaking her arms. "Jo?" The hoarse voice of Reynand who just woke up.

"I'm sorry" said Jovanka, who was still crying.

"I'm sorry? What's the matter, honey?" asked Reynand while fixing her sitting position.

"I used to get angry with you when I found out I was pregnant. I don't know why it could be like this either. I––" said Jovanka stopped.

"Stt ...." Rey's index finger landed on Jovanka's lips. "I've said a lot, don't say sorry, honey."

"But I feel wrong. I'm selfish, Rey. It turns out true what Mama said if you were––"

Reynand raised one eyebrow. "I why?"

"You love me" said Jovanka.

"Not only that, I love you more than anything."

Reynand's words really make Jovanka's heart calm and happy. She felt like she was the luckiest woman at the time. Plus the scent of Reynand's body that made him so at home was on the side and inhaled it.

The same with Reynand. He actually felt uncomfortable with his sticky body. He imagined the water pouring from the shower hitting his body and making him feel comfortable. I don't know what time he could take a shower.

"Oh, yeah, drink first, yuk?" take Jovanka to Reynand.

Reynand nodded and picked up the cup of sweet tea which was getting warmed up because it was left chatting by the owner.

"Kok, Papa doesn't look?" said Jovanka who just sipped a sweet tea.

'Ohuk!'

Reynand coughed at the question of his wife.

"Slow down, sweetie."

How can it be slow? Jovanka's question made Reynand shocked, in fact, Reynand and Rendy's relationship did not improve until that second.

"I'm sorry, Jo. I haven't been able to melt Papa's heart."

"Do you know I'm pregnant?"

"I haven't been able to tell you the happy news. Papa went in the room earlier, we're really still stiff, Jo."

Jovanka grabbed Reynand's hand and put it on Jovanka's chest. His heart beat felt trembling in Reynand's hands. The man saw his wife's face without a word. Reynand looked astonished, because up to a few seconds waiting, Jovanka did not say anything.

"Jo?" Reynand broke the silence.

"Do you feel something thumping?" ask Jovanka.

"Yes. Your heart rate."

"As long as this beat is still there, I'll always be with you, Rey. Believe me, anything that might get in the way of our happiness. I'll always be with you, Rey."

"But this is your father, Jo."

"Even Papa."

"I'm trying to get his blessing but I can't."

"Honey. Look me in the eye and feel my heart's thump." Jovanka looked into Reynand's eyes and Reynand's hand was placed on her chest. "Here is only Papa who may not have approved us. But Mama? Nana's? And Mama Nadin? They bless us, honey. Rest assured, gradually, Papa will also bless our marriage."

"Hopefully."

"Definitely! I'm sure Papa has actually softened. It's just that maybe he's still a prestige."

While in the room, there was Rendy who was sitting on the edge of the bed. Meli approached her husband and held his hand. She knows her husband so well, when angry or upset will surely sit on the edge of the bed alone. Maybe that's how he calms himself down, because everyone has different ways.

"Why why?" asked Meli slowly while slightly massaging her husband's shoulders.

"Sir papa. Just want to be alone."

"It's not because of Rey?"

Rendy glanced at Meli. He stared at his wife's face.

"Why? Is my mother's question correct?" asked Meli with narrowed eyes.

"Do I have to answer?"

Silent.

Meli doesn't want to make things hotter. She gives her husband a chance to temper the anger that shouldn't be there. Angry for what? All the facilities in the apartment belonged to Reynand too with the high position given by the Reynand family for him.

The ego has defeated everything. Rendy's ego shuts down all that goodness, even those that she might not have realized.

"Surely they came here with good news, Pa," said Meli in a soft tone.

Rendy's not hugging. He was still speechless with an angry expression from the look in his eyes.

"We're going to be grandparents, Pa," Meli said.

Rendy's eyes glanced at his wife, "I mean?" Rendy's eyes narrowed as she looked at the face of her now downcast wife.

"Jovanka's pregnant, Pa. She is pregnant with our granddaughter" Meli said with teary eyes.

"What?"

Meli nodded, "Jo is pregnant, Pa." Meli shed tears.

At that time Rendy's body was weak. Not because he was sorry for the news he heard. However, he regretted that until that moment he still could not make peace with his past. Where Reynand's father had ended his father's life without intention.

He is still heartbroken at Reyvan Adam because on the day of his father's death, Reyvan who hit instead did not attend his papa funeral. Unfortunately, Reyvan's face is so similar to his son named Reynand, so Rendy seemed to be imagined the figure of Reynand like Reyvan––man who had ended his papa life first.
