"You know that from childhood I did not know the affection of a father, but for our baby, I will be a Papa who pours out his affection" Abraham said solemnly.
Hearing Abraham's words, Marsha changed her position. The woman hugged her husband from behind her, carrying her hand over his chest.
Marsha knew full well, because there were times when Abraham told Marsha his life story. How does the man who sometimes feels jealous of children his age who get full affection from his father. Meanwhile, Abraham's memory and memory of his father did not exist at all. For all he knew, his father left him because he was fascinated with other women. Divorced Mama Diah and left her when she was little.
"I believe that you are a good father later for the baby. You have become a very good husband to me. I'm sure you'll be a good father too" Marsha replied.
As a wife, Marsha is strengthening her husband's heart. Whatever happened in the past. Let it remain the past. For Marsha, Abraham was a good husband and Marsha was convinced that Abraham would be a good Papa for his son later.
“Mas, it's just that you don't have an injured inner child right?” ask Marsha now to Abraham.
The inner child is the part of the human being that does not grow up and remains a child. That is, this part continues to settle and hide in humans. This section holds tightly to every memory and emotion we have experienced as children, both beautiful and bad. Unfortunately, the inner child is actually related to bad memories both in the form of behavior and speech from people who should be able to provide a sense of security.
“Then, it was possible that my inner child was injured, Shayang .. I said honestly to you. In college, you knew for yourself how envious I was of my brother or neighbor who had a father. In the afternoon when their fathers came home from work, I just stood at the door and pressed my own heart. I don't have Papa .. I grew up without Papa's affection. However, I will not do what was bad in the past to my baby,” Abraham replied.
Marsha's embrace in Abraham's body tightened, it felt like Marsha knew that her husband was injured. There was a breath that felt heavy from Abraham's sense of smell. The man looked down, rubbing his face. Talking about welcoming the baby and about his childhood always made Abraham emotional.
“Whatever inner child is still stored in your heart. I just hope that you can manage everything well. Don't take revenge on our son later. Wounds in the past, enough to end up in us. Peace with ourselves and all the wounds we received in childhood. We're united, we're married, and soon we'll be Papa and Mama, so let's do our best. Shower our children with love. There is no need to apply old parenting patterns that are already irrelevant. Love and care for your child as a special and different person. He is our baby, but he is a special person, so .. we can do even better,” Marsha replied.
Abraham nodded his head, in a second, the man changed his position and was now able to face Marsha. Abraham's hand moved and hugged Marsha's body so tightly.
“Makasih Shayang .. I became emotional like this. I'm the one who's hurt and doesn't have Papa, now I'm going to be a Papa. Remind me if I'm wrong, remind me to continue to give affection for our son,” pinta Abraham in earnest.
Marsha smiled, the woman buried her face in Abraham's chest, with both hands tightly hugging her husband's body.
Both had wounds in the past with the separation of their parents. Grow up to be a child who does not get full affection. Grows with wounds that do not bleed, but cause uncomfortable feelings in the heart. This time both are learning and will do their best for their baby.
