Patience of My Husband

-

This afternoon Arka and I were in the doctor's office. Because I want to confirm the real doctor's diagnosis. Not the doctor who was this morning, who came to check it was a general practitioner so the results are less certain. And now I'm in the gynecologist's room.

I've done several checks, from urine checks, lab tests and also ultrasound. Arka and I can't wait for the results. I hope it's true that I'm pregnant. Arka continued to hold my hand tightly and kissed her occasionally.

Shortly after, the doctor returned with some paper in his hand. Maybe it was the test results.

"Sir, ma'am congratulations, you're going to be parents. Ms. Natasya is positively pregnant, her gestational age is five weeks." Said the doctor.

Arka was silent to the doctor's speech until a few seconds ago she said "Alhamdulillah O Allah." Arka Seru. Arka immediately hugged me. Tears came out of my eyes.

Arka took off my arms and looked me in the eyes "You're going to be a mama and I'm going to be a papa". Arka. I also saw tears coming out of his eyes.

We fill our happiness with tears. The doctor who examined me just smiled looking at the two of us.

"I hope Ms. Natasya takes good care of her content. Do not be too tired, avoid stress, and as often as possible Miss Natasya check the content. Natasha's mother is very weak. So I hope you really take good care of her. Try to live a healthy life, ma'am, avoid alcohol, pollution and always consume nutritious food. If there are any other symptoms you can contact me. I'm ready to serve you." Obviously the doctor handed me a business card.

"Yes doc, I'll take good care of this content of mine." I said happily.

"I made a prescription for vitamins" then the doctor gave me a prescription.

"Okay doc, then we'll excuse you. Thank you very much Doc" said Arka.

We came out of the doctor's office with an amazingly happy face. Arka did not stop laughing. "We sit there first. I'll tell mamah" said Arka.

Arka and I sat in the hospital garden chair. Arka's lips do not stop developing a smile and happy laughter.

"Assalamualaikum..."

"Well, Arka has good news for you. Caca pregnant mah. Mamah will soon be a grandmother.iya mah... Waalaikumsalam" Then Arka hung up her phone call with mamah.

"What did mama say?" My toot.

"Your mother is very happy. And will make a small thanksgiving."

"But it's still a month old baby" I said.

"It's okay. Mamah simply expressed her gratitude and shared with the people of the twofa. We will be that too. We're sharing with the orphans here."

"As much as you love"

Arka squatted a little and rubbed my stomach which was still flat. "It's all right in my mom's belly, baby" and then Arka kissed me. Makes me a little ticklish.

"Honey, don't gini ah. Embarrassed"

"It's okay for them to know that I'm going to be a papa" Arka's laughter rang out.

"We go home yuk, I want to sleep" my whine.

"Look, we're home. Don't you want to eat something." Ask Arka

"No dear. I want to go home" I'm standing right in front of him.

"I mean you don't have a strong desire to eat anything"

"Do you mean?" Arka nodded.

"Geez, my pregnancy is still a month. And I also hope that I don't have weird cravings" I said.

"But if you want something say yes. I don't want you to want to"

"Dear baby, let's go home. I'm tired" Whine again.

"yes baby. Want to get in a carry?"

"Oh, no need to be more" I clap Arka's hand that touches my shoulder.

On the way home Arka continued to hold my hand tightly. Occasionally looking at me with a smile that continued to expand on her lips. Even in the taxi it was as if Arka would not let go of my hand. Sometimes kissed the back of my hand.

Thank you God you have put your trust in us being parents. I will take good care of this Thy care.

"Sir we stop at the front selfies yes" Arka said to the driver.

"Good mas. It seems to be very happy" said the driver.

"Yes sir. My wife is pregnant. Soon we will be parents" said Arka while rubbing my stomach.

"Waaahhh. congratulations. I'm going along with you" said the driver.

"Thank you very much sir"

Taxis enter the self-service parking area. "Darling, you just wait here. I didn't take long." Said Arka who was preparing to descend.

"I'm coming"

"Don't, I'll just be a minute. You're here, yeah."

"All right." I answered in lethargy.

Arka ran into the supermarket because the weather outside was very hot. While waiting for Arka I spent my time playing games from my mobile phone.

Not long after that Arka returned with a lot of groceries.

"Darling, what are you shopping for so much as that?" My toot.

"That's for you, baby. I buy fruits, pregnant women's milk and other small meals"

"Dear, your doctor says you should eat a lot of nutritious food. Later I will also tell the hotel to serve a special healthy food for you. Like vegetables" said Arka.

"Geez, baby, don't overdo it. The important thing is I don't eat poison, I'm sure I'm fine" I said.

"I don't want anything to happen to you or our child. I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and our future kids healthy." Arka.

"It's okay, neng. That's the sign of a loving husband and the same attention" Mr. driver chimed.

I fell silent because Arka got a defense. The taxi drove to the hotel. The driver helped bring groceries.

"Sir thank you very much for driving me and helping me. This is the cost of the taxi sir" Arka gave the money without counting first. The driver looked surprised by what he saw.

"Sorry, this is too much. The cost is not up to three hundred thousand" Mr. driver refused to give Arka.

"Already take it. Take the rest. Today I am very happy. I just want to share my happiness with my family. Accept yes" Arka begged the driver.

"But this is too much"

"It's not worth my happiness. Not that I'm arrogant, sir. I just want to share" said Arka.

"Udah sir take it." My speech.

Finally the driver will accept the gift of Arka. He repeatedly thanked me and his eyes glazed over.

After the driver came home, I immediately entered the room and cleaned myself up. While Arka is still busy with her groceries. I'm like my mommy is my husband.

Afternoon

"Darling, I'm going to the office right away, there's important business. You're okay if I stay." Said Arka in a hurry.

"Dear, you go. I'm okay" I replied.

"If there's anything call me directly ya"

"Yes bauble. I'm going there"

After kissing her hand Arka immediately left. I don't know what the problem is in the office until he's in such a hurry.

I went back into the room. And ate the pieces of fruit that Arka prepared. Arka is a very caring husband. He had prepared fruit, cake and also a glass of milk. This is why the first child behaves like this.

My phone is ringing. It says mom's name. Tumben mama called, my inner. Immediately I slide the green button to receive the call.

"Hello ma..." My broom.

"Darling... I heard that you are pregnant now. Is that true?" Ask mama.

"Who did you hear from?"

"From your papa. Papa was told to Arka's father. Mama is happy to hear it. Why don't you tell me about Mom?"

"Yes ma, I'm pregnant. Sorry ma ma not Caca did not want to tell mama. But indeed Caca plans after returning from Surabaya Caca will tell mama directly." I clearly.

"Oohh. Yes, no problem. What matters now is that my mom is really happy. Mom will soon be called Oma. You take good care of her baby."

"Yes ma, I must have taken good care of it"

"How do you know if you're pregnant?" Ask mama.

"Arka was very sad ma, to the point that Arka was crying when the doctor declared Caca positive pregnant"

"Mama had guessed because Arka was really expecting the presence of a child. Even if you're just married."

"Yes ma. I am so thankful to have a husband like Arka. So caring and loving"

"It turns out papa was not wrong to choose yes. At first, my mother disagreed with my decision. But now mama is more convinced that Arka is the right husband for you." Mama said.

"Yes ma. Caca also had to marry her. But now Caca is really grateful because he has a husband who is patient, loving, caring, and able to be a good priest" I praise.

"May you be a soul mate until death that separates ya dear."

"Aamiin. thanks for praying"

"Yes dear. Yes, that is it. Mama hang up first. Mama's going home from the office"

"Yes ma. Be careful on the road. You also have to take care of your health."

"Yes dear" Then mom closed the call.

I smiled at myself as my relationship with my mother grew closer. Thank you God, I murmured.

I continued eating the fruit in front of me and then drinking milk. After drinking milk. My stomach feels nauseous. And I'm back to vomiting. Fortunately, when I was nauseous at first, I ran straight to the bathroom. So the vomit doesn't scatter.

It felt relieved when all the contents in my stomach came out. But my body feels weak. I came out of the bathroom holding my stomach.

If I keep throwing up after eating, pity my future son. What is gini if you are pregnant young. But it's also kasian, if my prospective child is hungry how...

The Maghrib Archa has not yet returned. No news either. He was really busy at the office. But any busy person should keep the news.

I tried to call her number also not raised. My call was ignored. Really pisses people off, I grumbled.
