The Bond of Our Love

CHAPTER 32 - For Me and Our Child Candidates

Rahul was sitting pensively by the bed. His mind wandered everywhere. Since being sentenced if he could still see again, his heart became indecisive. On the one hand, he is very happy. After a long time of living in darkness, he was finally able to return to see the beautiful world. He could also see what his wife's face was like.

But the thing is, he has to go to Jakarta? Birth city. A city full of dark memories of its past. The city where he had an accident to the blind like this, for the sake of the woman who was still the owner of his heart. But the woman easily dumped him.

And in that city, too, he was subtly removed by his own family. That memory became a trauma for him.

It was fortunate that he met Zahra who sincerely supported him, so that he could rearrange his ruined life. He feels very comfortable and happy in this place. Should he now return to that metropolitan city? The city that he himself swore would never set foot there again.

In addition, the budget he had to spend for the operation was also one of his considerations. Actually he still had a lot of money from the results of the wrestling competition the other day. But the problem was, he wanted to use the money for venture capital.

He wants to be a responsible husband. Who can give a life for his wife. He has enough experience in the business field. Because when he could still see first, he had already jumped into his family's company.

And now he wanted to use his skills to open his own business. But the thing is, he needs capital for that. If all that money he used for currency surgery, then that money would definitely not be left in the slightest. What's he supposed to do now?

"Tumben you've been quiet since? I always try to find jokes to bother me. Do your teeth hurt? Or the.... You're thinking about the operation?" Cerocos Zahra who had just entered the room and stood at the end of the bed folded his clothes.

"You must have never thought, would you be able to see again? Sure, it's a miracle you never imagined, right? Be patient, wait another three or four months. After that, you'll be able to see your wife's pretty face" Zahra sat down beside Rahul and laid her head on the man's boat with her pot.

"I want the operation canceled"

"What?" Rahul's words succeeded in making Zahra surprised until she raised her head and looked at her husband closely. "I didn't hear wrong? You're kidding, right?"

"i'm serious. I don't want to have that operation. So there is no need to waste time waiting for that donor eye. Because I feel comfortable with my situation" Rahul replied quickly as he moved from his seat.

"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly change your mind like this? Isn't being able to see again your greatest wish all along? I remember when we first met. You're so fragile and devastated by your blindness. You consider blindness to be the greatest suffering of your life. And now you have a chance to get out of that suffering. And you just wasted it? Have you lost your mind?"

Zahra continued to scout Rahul so as not to understand him with the way her husband thought.

"I really want to see again. But that was before you came into my life. Now I don't need anything. I just want you to always be by my side. That's all I want" Rahul summarized Zahra's face gently.

"You want me to always be by your side, but you don't want to see what my face looks like?"

"For what? My heart can already feel, if you are the most beautiful woman in the world"

"You don't want to see what your wife's beautiful, cute, sweet wife looks like?" Zahra still did not want to lose with the debate.

"If I have that surgery, where do we get the money for the cost "Rahul turns away.

"Hey, are you amnesiac or something? You'd forgotten? we got money from your competition the other day. I think that's enough, for your operating expenses" Zahra held Rahul's shoulder and stood in front of him.

"But I want to use the money for other purposes, which is far more important than the operation"

"What need?"

"I want to open up the business. I want to be a successful person, who can give you a decent and luxurious life. A husband who can make you happy and proud" Lirih Rahul.

"Did you think I wasn't happy having a husband like you? You're wrong big time. I am so happy to be married to you. I am also very proud to have a husband like you. So don't think that you haven't made me happy. Because it's all not true. Because happiness comes from the heart. Not from material"

"I had expected that you would talk like that. Because I know what kind of woman you are. But the problem is not that simple. As a husband, I have a responsibility to protect you. Both physically and materially. I can't allow, the incident when the Sigit boss came and rampaged here. Take a debt with the bars to hurt you and Mom. I want us to have a better life. So that such incidents do not happen again"

"So you don't want to use that money for yourself? Then, do you want to use it for me and our future child?"

"Prospective child? Ma-you mean what?"

Zahra held Rahul's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"I am pregnant with your child right now. The results of your actions all along"

"W-what? You pregnant? Y-you're serious? You're not kidding, are you?" Tanya Rahul stammered. I don't think he believes in being a father.

"If you're not sure, let's go to the hospital. Let the doctor explain everything"

"Yes God! I still don't believe it!I'll be a dad soon?! Huh! muah!" Rahul hugs and kisses Zahra in a row. The woman's confession made her feelings fly high. He did not expect, if happiness would continue to rain on him since Zahra was present in his life. The woman continues to give hope and new colors in her life.

"Hey, what are you doing? Unhand me!" Zahra tries to push Rahul who keeps kissing her nonstop, until he feels tired.

"thank you. Thank you for being present in my life. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for making me a very happy man in this world. Thank you for completing my life"

"Here you go, don't be so lebay as disinetron"

"You can still joke, at a time like this. You don't know how emotional I am about our little presence?" Rahul stroked Zahra's stomach gently.

"Are you happy, with his presence here?" Zahra touched Rahul's hand, which was stroking his stomach.

"What kind of question is that? I'm not even happy anymore, but I'm happy with this news. Until I feel like this happiness is like a dream to me"

"If you're so happy with her presence, don't you want to be the first person to see her tiny face when she's born? Don't you want to, see him actively crawling for the first time? Don't you want to see him grow up and learn to walk for the first time? Don't you want to, see her wearing her school uniform for the first time? Don't you want to, see her grown up wearing a bridal suit, and sit on the lap with our daughter-in-law?"

"Are you so insistent on me doing the operation? You sure don't matter, if I'm still a regular employee at the factory. And we're always gonna live mediocre?" Rahul asked who seemed to understand the essence of his wife's words.

"I don't have a problem living like anything. As long as you two are by my side, and always love me. I know you're a responsible husband. The proof when I was in trouble because of the debt, you managed to get me out of that problem. You can pay off my debt of hundreds of millions. Take me honeymoon out of the country. But you can't see. But you can prove your love and make me feel like a special woman. Especially if you have a vision. You're gonna do more than that?"

"alright. If it's for both of you, I'll do anything. We'll wait until the hospital gets my donor eye"

"That's my new name. Muah" With a big smile on her pretty face, Zahra kissed Rahul's cheek and embraced him affectionately.

*******

The four months promised by the hospital have passed. Their wait for an eye donor for Rahul has now ended, after the hospital reported the good news.

With a heart filled with great hope, Rahul and Zahra leave the village and depart for Jakarta by taking a trip using public transportation rail.

"I'm sorry. I still can't be a reliable husband. But I promise, after this I will try even harder, to be able to make you both happy" Lirih Rahul while stroking Zahra's stomach that has begun to bulge, he said, due to the age of pregnancy that has stepped on the fourth month.

"I'm surprised. Aren't you tired, apologizing? I'm just tired, let alone him" Seloroh Zahra who also stroked his stomach. They're on the train. Sitting side by side in a chair, with Zahra's head resting on Rahul's chest.

"I'm serious" said Rahul Flat.

"Okay, I'm serious too. You knew? there are only three things I ask for, and I will always demand from you" Zahra pointed her little, middle and right fingers.

"What's that?"
