Rangga's Beloved Wife

Check with the obstetrician

POV BARREL

Currently, Mama Raya and I are standing at the door of Toni's doctor's practice. Doctor Toni is the former daughter-in-law of Mama Raya, her ex-husband.

The tense atmosphere made me choose silence. My hands, go back and forth more often. It felt like I was in court, the change in attitude of Mama Raya since I returned from Japan.

Is there something wrong with my attitude? or I'm fighting with my mom. I don't know, only someone else can judge this. I'm just trying to be a good daughter-in-law. Even before Mama Raya said before we got married, I could go to college first.

But now, he was like a soap opera in-law, always grim-faced, never a smile.

"Ma," I'm trying to remove the tension between the two of us.

"Yes" I saw Mama Raya was still busy with her dress.

"Still a long time, huh?" my oath still feels uncomfortable at this time.

"Why? you're not at home?"

Holy hooch! it seems like my question was wrong.

"It's okay, ma. Just look at." Answer me while holding in shame.

"You have to get used to it, Ras. has a child that must need a struggle, not just accept it. Usually newly married people have come to obygyn for fertility checks. They have been given some drugs for fertility. But you're still relaxed when, the effect is you don't want to have children."

I could again just shut up, afraid of being wrong or making my mother offended. Moments later our names were called, and my mom and I went into Toni's doctor's office.

"Mama how are you?" Greet doctor Toni.

"Thank God, fine, Toni. So you're not in mother's favor anymore, yeah."

"It's been a year I wasn't there, ma. Ever since that arisan thing, I got a mutation in Bogor, and I've got a job offer here."

"Oh, you go to the house, Toni. Oma nanyain you and the children must miss you."

"I've been home a few times, ma. I met the twins and the youngest. It's just, like Dad doesn't like my arrival." Toni replied suddenly.

"You're patient, yeah. Slowly papa softened. She was only surprised to see her son become a widow during a big pregnancy. The only one who divorces is not you, but Lani."

I just heard their family drama. I want to stay but don't know what the problem is. Want to go to mama, but I'm afraid for her to take offense again.I'm just a new kid here.

"this ..." Doctor Toni turned towards me.

"his wife is Rangga." replied the mother kindly.

"Oh, that time, huh, ma?"

"No! that's Jihan. Kan used to run away after marriage, this is already legitimate, his name is Larasati. Baras's Toni, lani's ex-husband." I received a handshake from the man.

"Beautiful to you, Rangga can also choose. I thought Rangga's sister was married to Ina. We know that, but I'm no stranger to your face."

"Thank you, sis. I used to nemenin Ina during her heart control."

"Oh, Ina's friend turns out. Not far away, can not Ina his friend also be."

I swear I'm lazy with Doctor Toni. He seemed to laugh at me and compare with Ina. Why does it have to be this? it is fitting that Lani divorced him, his attitude was so.

Doctor Toni started to examine me, my stomach was given gel to detect the condition of my uterus. For a moment I saw his face slightly wrinkled, but I could not understand what his expression was.

"have you ever been in an accident, or fallen?"

"Not long ago he was hit by a motorcycle in the compound of his parents' house. Just look at her feet because they cracked. And must wear a stick."

"Oh, that's it."

"So how's the condition of her uterus Laras, Toni?"

"So far it's safe, ma. There's no problem. In the meantime I think Laras needs to recover first." Obviously doctor Toni.

God, I'm so glad there's no problem. I looked into Mama Raya's eyes, she seemed quite satisfied with what Dr. Toni said.

"Laras, I'm asking for your number?" Ask doctor Toni.

"Make?" I wonder why Doctor Toni asked for my number.

"Ras, he asked for your number to tell you the next control schedule. Yeah, Toni."

"L-yes, said Mama Raya."

I gave Toni's phone number. After exchanging numbers, my mother took me home. Of course, again hearing their chatter that seemed to compare me with Ina.

"Ras, let's get some food first, yuk. Mama's suddenly hungry, is she?"

"Okay, ma."

We were at an outdoor food cafe. Some full-fat dishes are served in plain sight. A tasteful dish. For a moment I lyric mama Raya who has not touched her food.

I was just waiting for Mama Raya to start first. Because my mother used to say, if you want to eat, you have to wait for an older one first. If you have a husband, you should first start eating.

Those words were always instilled by our mother, me and brother Fajar. Even the mother always put her husband and children first, the last new she who eats. Only when my mother and I lived together did she keep me first to eat, and mother was still the last to eat.

I felt my phone vibrate, then say goodbye to Mama Raya picking up the phone.

"No, ma. It's from a close friend of my house." My answer.

"What woman is a man?"

"Woman, ma."

"Jawab just stay here! why wear away from everything."

"Good, ma."

I answered Nindy's phone. I don't know why he called me all of a sudden, when we weren't very familiar.

"Ras, your husband is here with the girls. I think I know that woman." Nindy.

A female? Ah, maybe the client.

Sometime Nindy sent me a photo in my WhatsApp message. My saliva was swallowed deep when I found out who the woman who was with my husband was.

...💐💐💐💐...

Vehicle lights are flickering like fluorescent lights. It looks from the top of the skyscrapers that the city of Jakarta looks charming. The moonlight that shines into the darkness of the night.

"Sir, Rangga." Speak the voice of a woman who made her successful stop daydreaming.

"Yes." Yeah."

"This is sir, the document you asked for."

"Oh yes. I'll learn first, I'll call you back."

"Yes, sir." After putting down the file, the woman immediately withdrew from the presence of her boss.

Rangga opened some files on his desk. For a while he was a little distracted by the vibrations in his pants pocket. His forehead shriveled, as if it felt strange the owner of the number suddenly contacted him.

Assalamualaikum

Rangga started greeting the caller.

"Sister Rangga, is there time? I'm right now under my sister's office there's something to talk about."

"Oh, yes, Toni. You just go upstairs. You haven't forgotten my work space."

"Yes, brother. I'm up now."

Some time Toni and Rangga have been sitting face to face in the workspace. Rangga offers Toni a drink. A bottle of cold drink was on their table.

"Since when was there a refrigerator in this room?"

"It's been a long time, Toni, since I came back here after the escape case at the wedding with Jihan."

"Oh-"

"What are you really looking for me, Toni."

"The problem is sister's wife, she was in control with Mama Raya."

"Is there anything serious you're going to explain?"

"Yes, brother. Well, how, huh? He said Laras got hit by a motorbike. Right?"

"Yes, Toni. Is there a problem?"

"sorry brother Rangga, as it will be difficult to give offspring, there is a shift in the uterus in the body Laras."

Rangga had guessed Toni's speech was the same as the doctor's speech while in the hospital. His hands clenched tightly as if he had failed to become a husband.

"What was Laras' reaction when you said that?"

"Did Rangga already know?"

"I've heard the same thing when doctors diagnose you as you said before. But I haven't told Laras or mama.

Ye know? mom continues to undermine Laras to get pregnant fast. I'm afraid that it'll keep Laras down there."

"Is it possible that you don't agree with Laras, so behave like that?"

"Not like, ton. It was my mother who set me up with Laras. So fitting home honeymoon, mama continues to undermine so that Laras quickly get pregnant. Did you say the same to Baras about this?"

"No, sis. You see, my mom was so enthusiastic, that's why I said it's okay."

"Thank God, ton."

"Sister, may I give you some advice?"

"Please, Toni."

"Finely Rangga's brother moved from papa Donal's residence. Because later it will affect the psychological Laras with the attitude of the mother. I'll find out where the therapy is for Laras' treatment."
