Alend was still playing around with his Daddy in the living room of that apartment. It is a peaceful and warm Friday night in London that is now entering spring. When a slightly rowdy voice sounded in the pantry, Rayhan decided to immediately look at it. Hurriedly the man got up and darted towards the source of the sound.
" Vomiting again ? ", asked Rayhan worriedly. He approached Nilam who was still standing in front of the sink with his pale face.
" Just very nauseous ... can't vomit, but saliva .. uh my spit of excess secretions ... and this really torments me ".
Rayhan approached his wife and then pinched the woman's nape full of tenderness. While occasionally rubbing his back, to then guide his wife to walk into their bedroom. Crossing the middle room and find Syailendra is still busy accompanying the robot characters and various cars, adventuring in the world that the boy created himself.
" Boy." call Rayhan. " Mommy threw up again.... Daddy accompany mommy first yes in room ... ".
" Okay.. mommy take the medicine yes, let it heal quickly ".
Nilam smiled back at the words of his son who had turned back to his heroes. A moment later, both of them were in the bedroom.
" Is it always like this ? ", asked Rayhan while covering his wife who looked tired.
" This is common in the first three months of pregnancy ".
" But this has entered the fourth month is not it?.... would I take anti-nausea drugs again ? ".
" Rey.I drank it ".
" But you spewed again" Rayhan protested.
Nilam cupped the face of her husband who looked very anxious. Stroking a handsome face with the rest of the grayish dark sideburns and whiskers that have just been shaved. Macho...that's what Nilam always captured from this man, since long ago.
" Why?.... Does this stroking of my face make you feel better ? ".
" Ha. ha.ha.huh.huh. Especially if you caress my stomach and waist ".
" Why don't you say it anyway from earlier", Rayhan protested while positioning himself next to Nilam who was already lying on their mattress.
" It's not just me who needs your love ! the people out there are in need too. And you owe him a lot ". What Nilam meant was their son, Syailendra or commonly called Alend
" I'm sorry, honey..... ". Rayhan kissed Nilam's stomach which had not been seen bulging. Gently and with a feeling.
" It must have been heavy, when you were alone with Alend.I'm sorry", Rayhan's voice sounded so deep and implied a very painful pain.
" Alend it. since in the stomach there is no fuss. This is my first heavy cravings and stingers. It's completely different from what it was with this one".
" It must be because my children are very intelligent and understanding.. ".
" Heeeem's... ", nilam did not answer. He felt an overwhelming sense of comfort and made his eyes so heavily burdened by drowsiness.
" Dear." call Rayhan slowly. He felt his wife's breath regularly blowing and a very smooth snoring sounded, apparently this woman had actually fallen asleep.
Suddenly his heart was covered with sadness and guilt. How did this woman face everything alone ?. He must have been so tired of his working days that he went home and was alone without someone to give him a sense of comfort and warmth. Surely he was crying sadly, surely he was also very longing.Aah Rayhan really felt his chest wanted to explode by that painful feeling.
This dense black hair, a beautiful face that was sleeping peacefully and a tiny body that began to look contained in certain parts because of her pregnancy, really made Rayhan feel in love again made. She felt Nilam was many times more beautiful and sexy of course. The man smiled amusedly laughing at himself. It was ridiculous, he felt so passionate about his wife especially these few days. And again, Nilam also seems to be very fond when he makes physical contact that is quite intense. Really frustrating ... how not?, when Nilam is in a condition that is not fit... does he have to force his will !. Oh no !!!!..... Rayhan cursed to himself.
" Daddy ..... mommy still sick ? ". That adorable voice of questioning accompanied Syailendra's entry into the room.
" Sssstt... mommy & little baby can just sleep .... ".
" Alend wants a hug, too... ".
Oh boy. so sweet, Rayhan gave a gesture asking the boy to come over and hug him.
" No Daddy.... Alend wants to hug little baby ".
What?!!! .... Rayhan was surprised but in the end he laughed a little. He laughed at himself who was overconfident.
" Here... Slowly yes, do not wake up mommy ".
Rayhan helps his son to lay down next to his mommy. In front of the sleeping woman. Then he saw his son tilting, then following what he did. Stroking Nilam's stomach which then slightly woke up, but only to smile and reciprocate the treatment of his son with a kiss and a hug.
" Thank you brother Alend." said Nilam still with his eyes half closed.
" Love you mommy...love you little baby...love you too Daddy .. ".
****************
Rayhan holds Syailendra who is busy asking this question, making his father confused.
" Then just ask mommy yes..now look at mommy's stomach there is her little baby ".
" How?....do you have to cut her stomach a little ? ".
Waduh ... wrong to say this, murmured Rayhan. ". No!... use advanced tools, advanced cameras and super computers ... tuh!!!! take a good look ".
" That's a mic is a doctor?... wow ... can you hear the little baby voice ? ".
The British Indian doctor smiled. Now it's your turn to be the doctor that this little reporter is going to scout. Because of his incredible curiosity. But Soraya's former doctor also assisted Nilam's delivery while giving birth to Syailendra did not mind those questions at all.
" This is the USG boy tool. Let's take a peek at your little sister" said doctor Soraya. " This device has a wave that can penetrate your mommy's stomach without pain .... Look at the monitor ".
If others pay attention to the monitor screen, not so with Syailendra he is actually very interested in a tool shaped like a mic but the ends are not round. More like the tip of a vacuum cleaner. Though on the monitor screen it has begun to sound rattling sounds that slowly heard clearly as the sound of heartbeat.
" r. Rayhan... it's very healthy heart...... wait... ", Soraya's doctor seemed surprised for a moment. The monitor screen that imaged the monochrome color seemed to move irregularly for a moment when the beautiful doctor moved the object over Nilam's stomach by sliding slowly.
" Neels.... Gemeli ... ", the doctor said excitedly.
Patchouli gaped, he closed his mouth but his eyes were still wide open. While Rayhan was confused by what Soraya's doctor said and also Nilam's expression.
" What's up? is it dangerous ? ", he asked a little worried.
" r. Rayhan.. This is your fetal heartbeat, pay attention ".
Rayhan stared at the monitor screen, looking at something that was beating with a steady rhythm. As Soraya's doctor tuned in to a sharper sound mode, the heart-pounding sound sounded especially beautiful to Rayhan. The man smiled with great taste.
" And here's one more heartbeat.... ".
" Huh?!!!!!........ There are two ? ", Rayhan gaped.
" Yes, congratulations Mr. Rayhan .... ".
Rayhan was growing incredulous. He then looked at Nilam who was smiling nodding at him. If there is a time when happiness reigns the heart, maybe this is one of the times. Finding his wife and child back, then now given the gift of twins who are growing in the womb of the woman he loved so much. As if everything removes the wounds, suffering and sadness that had reigned with pride in his life.
Rayhan shed tears, wiped her quickly and smiled warmly. Stroking the back of the wife's hand, kissing her softly. Then whispered while peeping the woman's forehead. " Thank you, most beautiful of my Lord, the Most Merciful ".
Doctor Soraya also smiled happily watching the two people who were surrounded by love. He knew how Nilam's life journey was in this land. How he took a pregnant gymnastics class alone without the figure of a man who accompanied him. Until finally the doctor also found out that Nilam was also a nurse who worked in the same hospital with him. A faithful woman who is fighting for her love. And now he is receiving the prize of all his struggles.
" Aunty doctor.... Where's my sister ?".
A small jolt on the doctor's suit worn resuscitates him from daydreams. The cute boy who will soon be a brother to his twin sister was staring with curiosity.
" Okay... aunty print the picture first. Neel... is done, you can go down ".
Before long, the three children had sat back in front of the doctor Soraya who had come with a photo USG. He handed it to little Syailendra. But the next second the boy stared in confusion, alternating on the photo and doctor Soraya.
" That's your sister" Soraya's doctor explained
" This is?.. ugly ... I don't want to ".
