The Chosen Heart Part 2

The Most Beautiful Gift

In the hospital. After waiting for some time finally Isna and Dani got a turn to enter the check room.

Conversing for a while, the female obstetrician then checked Isna's condition.

Not long after the doctor gave a statement that was actually suspected. Isna tested positive for pregnancy.

Dani's reaction is guessable. His face looks very happy. His slightly watery eyes held haru, and perhaps if they were not in the doctor's office, Dani would hug his wife tightly.

While Isna can only express the happiness that rises by saying alhamdulillah, while pitting eyes with Dani. There was a love glow wrapped in extraordinary happiness, which emanated from the sight of both.

After finishing with the doctor, both of them say goodbye.

" I'm going to be a father" Dani whispered bitterly in Isna's ears, as the two walked out of the hospital, towards the parking lot .

Isna's hand held Dani's hand tightly. A wide, happily decorated smile was clearly on his face.

" A's happy?" Isna asked while looking at Dani.

" Obviously. Sangaaaat happy, moved... Praise be to Allah..."

Both got into the car.

" It's the most beautiful birthday gift Aa's ever received."

Dani said as he drove his car slowly, his eyes occasionally looking at his wife's face.

" Alhamdulillah.." again Isna can only express her happiness by giving thanks to the Khalik.

Dani grabbed Isna's hand, kissed her. Then let the hand remain in his grasp, draping it to the chest.

" Wants to have a daughter or a boy?" the usual questions, which will be asked on the couple who will have children.

" If Isna wanted her to have a son," Isna answered the question posed by her husband earlier.

" Why?" Dani asked again.

" It's okay . Just want to be like the same father mom, whose first son is a boy."

" If Aa wants a girl, funny times yes, cute with beautiful clothes and makeup." Dani smiled to himself imagining his little girl later with her cuteness and typical beauty of small children.

" Yes, funny..." Isna so along to imagine the beauty that Dani was imagining.

" Beautiful, like the ummanya."

Isna returned Dani's praise by rubbing the man's cheek.

In Isna's heart hope, may this happiness always be with her. Even if it seems like it won't be possible. Because happy and sad will always be a couple who take turns filling the life story of a human child. But at least when the sad was taking a role in his life story, Isna will face it with people who are able to strengthen it with love.

" We're going to Mother's house, will ya?" Dani offers Isna to stop by her parents' house first.

" Cheel."

The trip to the mother's house did not take long.

Isna and Dani were already standing at the door of the Prasetyo house, waiting for the door to open, after they both said their greetings.

The door opened, accompanied by the "Wa'alaykumussalam" command."

" Eh, dani mas, "mbak Pri, Dani's parents' domestic assistant who opened the door.

" Mother is Pri's Mother?" without waiting, Dani is welcome to step foot into the living room that has not changed since Dani left four months ago.

" Mother just left, mas. I didn't tell you to come."

" Intentionally, let the mother not know if we want to come."

" It looks like you're going to the store."

" Not to college?"

" No. Just said to me if there are students who are looking for him, please contact only his cellphone."

" We go to the store. Wanna?" Dani asked while looking towards Isna. The one asked only replied with a nod.

" Yes, Pri, I and Isna followed to the store. Uh, but where's dad?"

" To dong mas's office. It's not a holiday now."

Yes, for a moment Dani felt forgotten that everyone works on a schedule, and there are working days. It's not like he can work anytime and anywhere. Origin according to its deadline.

" Yes already. We say yes, Mother."

" Monggo mas."

Isna gave a smile to Mbak Pri, who was replied with a smile also by the middle-aged woman.

They both got back in the car.

" We're going to the store?" Dani started the engine of his car. Slowly move. Repeated the same question, which he had already asked Isna.

" Aa had asked. Yeah, let's go to the store."

" The shop is quite far from here, Neng."

" Yes it's okay. Wh why? Tired?"

" Yes it's not. It's just sitting around."

" Later, we will go to the mother's house again if the mother has returned from the store. If we do not tell the mother we want to go to the store, afraid mother even hunted away again from the store. My mom has never been in her shop for long. We won't even be able to meet him."

" Yes too."

Isna confirmed the words of her husband. The mother-in-law has a gift shop in the suburb of Bogor. The shop that cooperates with several local MSMEs is managed by the mother and her friends. And usually you come to the store just to check a few things. While all his supervision was left to his friend, who came to the store every day.

" We're going to Mama's house, right?" Isna finally offered her next destination.

" Aa just said."

" Yes, to my mom's house."

It's been a month since I met my mom and dad. Actually the plan he both will come to Surabaya, but because the health condition of the father before their departure turned out to be somewhat decreased, eventually they did not come along.

But thank God, yesterday Isna heard the news the father has improved.

Arriving at the house where Isna was born and raised, the atmosphere was quiet. Obviously, because the house is now only inhabited by three people, one of which seems to be rarely at home.

" Assalamu'alaykum, mama," said Isna on her doorstep.

No answer yet.

Once again greeting. This time Dani said hello.

There was an answer, the voice of the father answered.

The sound of footsteps approached the door, and the door handle was moved.

" Father," Isna immediately took the father's right hand and kissed him respectfully, as the door opened and the figure of the father stood behind the door.

" Neng," the father rubbed his daughter's back.

" Healthy ?"

" Thank God, father kumaha? (what about) Damang?( healthy)"

" Kieu we" (Let's see)

Replace Dani who pays homage by kissing the hand of the father.

" Hayu or come in, don't be a guest."

The Father came in, followed by Isna and Dani.

" Where's mom,pa?"

" Study. I'll be home soon."

" I'll get a drink first. So my father sat down."

Isna passed inside.

This house has not changed at all, Isna. In fact, according to Wahid, the brother, Isna's room was still the same as when Isna left, three months ago.

Father and mother are not what they used to be. They no longer sell food. For their daily needs they get it from the boy. And for them that's enough.

Isna entered the living room with a glass of cold water for Dani.

Sit next to the Father.

" Pa, Isna wants the father something" Isna leaned her head on the father's shoulder.

" What's something?"

" Something will make you happy ." Dani answered.

" What?"

" Guess dong." Isna deliberately seduces father.

" It's not a plane."

Dani's chuckling," Father could've."

" Geus or Neng, guess what"

" Then, I'll love you when mom comes home."

" Kunaons? "( Why?)

" Let's be exciting."

" Why is that?"

" Yes that is so."

And Dani even asked the father to talk about something else. The father's curiosity did not care at all.
