The Chased Heaven
Gestation
8.5 Months after Zulfa's pregnancy many stories and problems that the woman had passed. The changed nature makes Joseph's emotions tested, the cries and complaints experienced by Zulfa make the husband pity. Especially with Salsa's one-month pregnancy with Zulfa added to the burden of Joseph's mind but the man patiently faced each of his wives.
Zulfa's pregnancy was 8.5 months old and the gender of the baby was known to be male. While Salsa's pregnancy was 7 months old, and no matter what good fortune came to Joseph she was also given by God another son.
Changes in nature occur by Salsa makes Joseph and Zulfa confused, because Salsa day by day when her pregnancy continues to succumb and not infrequently locked himself in the room.
Already several times they persuaded Salsa to tell a story but the woman was silent, Yusuf was just patient to face his other wife he thought if the change in attitude during pregnancy was common.
Today Yusuf invited his two wives to eat at a cafe famous for its cakes. Patiently Yusuf helped his wife get out of the car, people's gazes pointed towards them all. The questioning look that was seen on each of those people's faces.
How not, surely many people who think if the man has 2 wives especially with those who are pregnant big, "Ah he is usually rich anyway" whispers that sounded like ridiculing or being ridiculed were ignored by Joseph.
Yusuf told Zulfa and Salsa to go to the cafe first while he predicted the car.
Zulfa nodded and clung to Salsa's hand, which he did not reject, "What do you want?" ask Zulfa.
"Red Velvet's".
"Drink?"
"Your rich"
"Okay, I pesen first you find a seat"
Suppose Salsa made Zulfa go to the cashier to order food, then he looked for a seat where Salsa was there.
"Mas Yusuf I used to pesen"
"Okay, you're the best".
A few minutes later the order Zulfa had ordered was ushered in by a waiter wearing a black hijab who matched his uniform. The food was placed on the table in a friendly manner and thanks were given by the three people.
"Fa you've been here greentea message if you're not bored, it's a different message at all".
"The favorite of the person is different, if he is happy with his favorite why should forbid it" added Salsa.
"Yups I agree with you brother".
"You're conspiring"
"Yes" they answered together.
Yusuf smiled at his two wives getting along and drank his warm cappuccino "You have a name for my son?"
"Emm not yet"
"If I had" replied Salsa who was still eating her Red Velvet. Joseph and Zulfa looked at Salsa in shock.
"I want to know his name" said Joseph.
"Simple but I like it".
"Don't tell me his name"
"Jubair Raihan Izzan"
"I like it" added Yusuf.
"That's a great name, I haven't thought about what my son's name will be".
"What about Danish?" salsa Suggestions.
"Well, I'll think about it".
Salsa stopped her laughter when she saw the opposite cafe, there were many snacks that she liked. "Mas I want it" pointed to Salsa who made Joseph and Zulfa turn her around to look.
"You want that snack?"
"Yes" nodded Salsa steadily.
"Well, we'll buy".
"No, I want it now!"
"But then Zulfa himself is here"
"Take Zulfa, I really want to".
"As you two, I'll drop it. I can't walk for long anyway".
"Jaudah Fa, I live first with Salsa" said Joseph leaving Zulfa alone. Zulfa smiled and took the notes in her bag writing the names for her future children.
Yusuf took his wife's hand to cross the cafe and headed towards the store that sold some food. Salsa's happy face was seen there he then ran towards a snack that was deliberately displayed.
"Which one do you want?"
"I'm up to you" said Yusuf, wiping the head of the hijab-covered Salsa.
"okay"
"You seem to like it when it comes to snacks"
"Hihi yes mas" said Salsa who had hugged a few snacks in her hand. Salsa immediately approached the cashier but while she was waiting in line her stomach suddenly felt pain. Everyone panicked, especially Joseph, and he took Salsa to a nearby hospital.
°°°
The cafe's wall clock shows at ten p.m., and Zulfa is still waiting here at her husband's behest. He said he would be back soon but what happened, the two of them had not returned.
He actually wants to go home but Zulfa doesn't have any money to pay for a taxi. The waiter who approached him spoke kindly that he would close this cafe. Inevitably Zulfa exited the cafe and headed to the parking lot looking for her husband's car.
Zulfa's face was again anxious, her husband's car was gone, she was like a stupid woman waiting for something uncertain.
Drizzling little by little down the city, Zulfa walked by the side of the road hoping for a taxi to pass. Her clothes were wet, her body was cold, her husband had nothing to forget.
"What's going on?" tanyakanya.
The rain was getting heavier but did not make Zulfa's steps stop, his phone died so there was nothing he could contact. He stopped a passing taxi and entered the car.
The taxi delivered Zulfa to the address he had said. Arriving in front of the house, Zulfa told the driver to wait for himself for a while to take the money.
"Thank you sir" he said, then the taxi left his house.
The house looked quiet as he entered, there was no one here. He then went to the bathroom to clean himself up. During her pregnancy, Zulfa promised her that no matter how sick she was, she would not cry for her child.
Zulfa stared flat at the paper she was holding and headed downstairs to wait for her husband to come home. The clock shows 11 nights and Zulfa still faithfully welcomes her husband's arrival.
Joseph who got a message from Zulfa was surprised he forgot his wife, Joseph immediately went home leaving Salsa who was still lying unconscious.
The unrelenting rain pouring down the city of Jakarta made Yusuf anxious, how could he leave his wife alone there. A loud punch was heard filling the car, Yusuf channeled his grief by hitting the steering wheel of the car.
"Stupid You Suf" he said.
Arriving at the house Joseph ran to find where his palace was and stopped in the guest room.
"Fa forgive me" Yusuf said, while Zulfa gave a cold look as before, at which time he betrayed his trust.
