The Faithful Heart

Good News

The god looked at Hana's body from head to toe. His eyes scanned every inch of his wife's body.

" Sweetie you're okay, right?" asked the God without letting go of his eyes. His hands were tracing his wife's body. Making sure that the woman is sweet-talking is nothing less.

" I'm fine." Hana got out of the wheelchair.

" Darling why are you down?" russell asked, worried.

" Papa I'm fine. Don't treat me like a sick person like this" snorted Hana.

" But darling....." Hana stared intently at her father-in-law as if protesting Russell's perceived excessive treatment.

"Suster is it okay is she walking like this?" ask Russell.

" It's okay, sir. Madame Hana's condition is very good."

" Have you heard Pa?"

" What is this really? Who are you and why are you with Hana?" yusuf asked who did not know Russell and Aleena.

" Oh sorry. This is Joseph, my brother. And he was Hasan's father, my father-in-law. They are Russell and Aleena, Papa and Mama." The god introduced Joseph and his father-in-law.

" Hello Mr. Russell and Mrs Aleena we can finally meet in person. If you remember I'm Hana's father."

" Mister Hasan, of course I still remember. Even though we only met through a video call. And you Joseph, nice to meet you." Russell shook the hands of Joseph and Hasan.

" You Papa the God's bladder?" Joseph tried to convince.

" Yes that's how it is. Hows it? I'm more handsome than your real father, right?" Russell grinned.

I think I know where God's handsome face came from. Besides being handsome, the God's biological papa looks very charismatic. He must not be a random person.

" Ahem ahem, I don't think now's a good time to boast." whispered Aleena towards her husband full of emphasis.

" Dear you haven't answered my question. What exactly is going on? Why did you go home with Mom and Dad? And why are you in a wheelchair?" cecar God.

" Dear I'm fine. I'm ha-"

" You are outrageous God...!! Why did you let my daughter-in-law go to school unsupervised. Did you know that she passed out at school...???!!!" exclaim Russell.

" You passed out, honey???!! You sick?" The gods looked worried again.

" I'm fine."

" What's good is good. You are too careless God. How can you let my son-in-law go to school alone unattended in her present condition? When she was pregnant young?!!"

" pregnant? Hana's pregnant? Wife pregnant?" ask the gods like fools.

" HAMILLLL???!!!" exclaimed Hana's mother who arrived appeared along with Rani and Anton.

" Yes, Hana is pregnant. Soon we will have a funny grandson." Aleena said with a sigh.

" Ha-Hana ha-miles??! How can?" the God unconsciously. His mind was mixed when he heard the news of his wife's pregnancy.

" Gustiii..... You mean what a god? Hana is pregnant because of you. Why even ask how can it be? You mean what?" exclamation Dina.

" I'm sorry Mom, I don't mean that. It's too sudden, I'm too excited to know what to say."

" We're gonna be parents, baby? Is there a baby in here?" The god stared at and touched his wife's stomach with glassy eyes.

" Yes, we'll be mama and papa. There is a junior who will soon be present in our middle" said Hana who unconsciously shed tears.

" Thank you, dear. Thank ye. The presence of this baby will increase the happiness of our family. Thank you." Thank you." The god rewarded Hana with a tuby kiss.

" Hey stop that. Replace with us. You don't monopolize Hana alone, we also want to congratulate her and hug her." Dina shifted the position of her son-in-law. He hugged and kissed his firstborn lovingly.

Everyone in the room hugged and congratulated Hannah, and Joseph was no exception. He congratulated me from the heart, for some reason he was happy to hear the news as if he was going to be a father.

" Mister, please sit down. It just so happened that we made a lot of traditional snacks. Let's enjoy it together." said Rani felt a little disinclined by the presence of a couple who looked very authoritative.

" Ah right Mr. Russell and Mrs Aleena let's sit down together. And you dear let's quickly sit down, young pregnant women should not stand for too long." Hana's mother grabbed her child's body to immediately sit by her side.

They sat on the sofa in the living room. As for the bodyguards and nurses were in different rooms. Traditional snacks that are mostly sweet taste as if it has complemented their sense of happiness.

Despite feeling awkward, Rani tries to remain reasonable towards Russell and Aleena.

" Oh yes, if you may know how Hana can go home with you? Isn't your last information in Holland?" ask Anton with a heart. For some reason being near Russell his guts were shrinking. The aura of a Russell Van Nero indeed felt domineering around him.

"We've been in Singapore for a few days. Aleena has already agreed to undergo treatment at one of the best hospitals there. And for some reason she missed Hana. He insisted on visiting this place. And how shocked we were when we got a report from my man when he said that Hana had fainted while teaching in class. We immediately took Hana to the nearest hospital. Thank goodness we received good news. Hana is pregnant young so that the condition of her body is easy to feel tired" said Russell told the chronology of the incident.

" Yes, I was very happy. I felt as if all my illnesses were gone when I heard this wonderful news. Honey you have to take good care of your wife and baby candidates. Do not let such an incident happen again." said Aleena while staring fixedly at the God.

" I promise you, I'll be more careful. I will not let this happen again." said the god really mean it.

" Good, Papa hope you prove your point, or we'll take care of our daughter-in-law and future grandchildren."

" Honey you better stop teaching first. Poor baby in the stomach to get tired." persuaded Aleena.

" Yes dear, Mrs Aleena's speech is correct. You have to rest a lot while pregnant young like this." added Rani agreed with Aleena's opinion.

" That's right, honey. I'll ask the principal for permission to give you a day off during pregnancy."

" But baby, I'm fine. Why are you doing this?" hana's Protest.

" No debate. There is no rejection. You know that I am at least sad if anyone disputes my words. What Aleena said" Russell stressed.

" But Papa, I'm fine. I'm just pregnant not sick. So please don't treat me like this. I still want to teach." Hana snorted.

" Hey the charred pot, you better listen to your in-laws. They love you so much and only wish you and your future baby the best" Hana's mother said.

" But Ma'am...."

" No but but....!" strict mother Hana.

" Yes Hana you better stop teaching first. It's all for the good of you and your baby-to-be." Yusuf chimed in.

" Dad, talk to them that I still want to teach. I'm fine." lamented Hana seeking a defense from her biological father.

" Sorry this time I agree with them. You better stop teaching." Hasan replied gently.

" Y.....!!! Hua......!!!! Hiksss....... Nobody wants to hear my wishes..... The Hua...... Why are you forcing me like this??? I just want to go teach what's wrong??? Hua ...hua..." Hana's cry broke. And somehow she felt sad because no one supported her wish.

" Dear, don't cry, we just want what's best for you and our baby." God told him to stroke his wife's shoulder.

Why did she arrive crying. Usually he was not this kind of crybaby either.

" Silence you...! It's all because of you. Don't get close to me." Hannah turned her husband's hand.

" And you better take a quick shower. Your body's smell is very bad. You're so stinky." ketus Hana.

I stink? I really just took a shower. I also wear the parfume I used to wear. Why did Hana suddenly say I stink?

" Patience, Son of God. Hana's mother used to be like that. During Hana's pregnancy she refused to come near me." whispered Hana's father who made the eyes of God round.

" Dad you mean, during pregnancy you refuse to be touched by Dad?" hana's father nodded slowly.

What...??! What if Hana's pregnancy was like a mother-in-law. That means there will be no obligatory rituals for us?
