The Hidden Love

Meet Love

The sun peeps in the eastern horizon, the nights where the soul has gone home are over. Human children are again preoccupied with their respective routines.

Love was ready to go to teach that morning. After finishing a cup of fresh bread with chocolate jam and a glass of milk pregnant women, Love grabbed her bag. Putting the key into the bag, Love began to swing her legs down the road to the Kindergarten where she taught.

"Good morning beautiful teacher," greeted the complex mother who was sweeping the yard, neighbor Love.

"Good morning, Miss Salma. Cleaning up again, ma'am?"

"Yes, I saw that Ms. Fatma had also just left" said the middle-aged woman named Salma.

"Ooh, yes Mom. If so, excuse me ma'am. Come on," said Love.

"Yes Mother."

Salma stopped her activities for a moment. He kept staring at the departure of love.

"What a pity that girl. Left behind her parents, pregnant without a husband, the burden of her life is very heavy even though she is a good girl, friendly and noble heart. May God give you happiness, Ma'am" murmured Salma.

Love keeps its feet up. The sun that began to rise makes Love quite hot. The knee-length short-sleeved dress was fluttering in the wind. 

Love lifts both corners of her lips while feeling the baby in her womb move actively.

Yeah, five full moons have been passed. It is not easy for Love to get through it all, but she is grateful that she can still handle it. He rubbed his stomach slowly which began to pattern.

'Later in the afternoon we meet dear, Mother will check your condition to the doctor,' Inner Love.

Arriving at the school gate, Cinta was stunned when she heard the commotion inside the teacher room. Faintly Love heard her name called, the girl also quickened her pace.

"We don't want to, our children are taught the same teachers who get pregnant without husbands. Is that not enough to show that Miss Love is not a good woman!" Shouted one of the student guardians.

"Mom, I explained. Miss Love has a husband and she just found out she was pregnant after the divorce process took place. Ms. Love is not at all what mothers think, she is not a woman who is pregnant out of wedlock" Fatma said.

"Mother Fatma may have believed it, but who knows, Ms. Love could have said that to cover up her disgrace. We parents do not want to take any risks. We ask immediately Miss Love to be stopped from this school."

"Yes ma'am, agreed," one of the mothers replied.

"Mom calm down first, we will hold a general meeting to discuss this issue. Please respect Ms. Fatma's decision, give us some time to think before we make a decision" Nella said.

Love clutched tightly onto the strap of her bag. His body trembled slightly when he heard clearly the people in the room talking about it.

"Just we don't want to know, Miss Love must be stopped from teaching here, or we will transfer our children to other kindergartens, there are many schools here," one mother threatened.

Over and over again Love exhaled her breath, trying to gather all her strength before she entered the room.

"Excuse me mothers," said Love, bowing her body, she stepped forward, near Fatma and Nella.

"Sweet, shameless, still dare he show his face here."

"Yes, look at the stomach! It must be the result of his dark relationship to be able to conceive an illegitimate child so," whispered one of a group of mothers.

"Front of the wall, he could have been ordinary and even proudly rubbed his bulging stomach. Bastard son is proud."

The ear of hot Love listens to the many harsh words and swearing that the guardian parents of the disciple refer to him.

"I'm sorry Mrs Fatma, let me speak briefly to the guardians" please Love.

"Mother Love, I'm sorry for the inconvenience" Fatma said.

"It's okay Miss Fatma." Love turned to look at Nella as if asking for permission to talk.

The mother-of-one nodded, inviting Love to speak.

Love takes a deep breath. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, may all mothers be in good health and always blessed by the Almighty God." 

I could hear it, especially if they did not like Love.

"Mom-mother, before and after I apologize for my arrival here causing a commotion. Thank you to Ms. Fatma and my colleagues, as well as to the mothers who have given me the opportunity to share a little knowledge that I have. However, I also apologize because there are still many shortcomings. I will withdraw from this school, once again apologizing for all my shortcomings and for the mistakes I made during my time here" said Love.

"Well, that's how it should have been. Why do you stay here for a long time, make a shame," chirped a mother.

Love caressed his chest. The pain he felt was not because of the humiliation he received. The pain is more real because mothers insult babies in their womb who are even innocent.

The parents of the guardians of the students immediately dispersed themselves. The room became quiet again, leaving behind Love, Fatma and Nella.

"Mom Love, forgive me yes. I can't do anything" Fatma said regretfully.

"It's okay, ma'am, maybe my path is not here. Thank you Miss Fatma, Miss Nella, you guys have been so kind to me during my time here."

"I'm sorry, Miss Love." Nella hugs the body of Love, alternating with Fatma.

"I will clean up my things first, after which I will go straight home," said Love.

"Yes ma'am, once again we're sorry that we couldn't do anything. Let us help."

Fatma and Nella help clear Love's desk. The items have now entered into a fairly large cardboard box. Love grabbed her wedding photo and put it in a bag. Yes, Love did bring some frames of wedding photos of him and William before leaving William's house first, and one of them he put on his desk.

"I say yes Mom, sorry if all this time I have been wrong" said Love.

"We also apologize Miss Love."

Once again, the three women hugged each other before Love actually left the school.

Love gasped when she heard the pot in the kitchen fall.

"It must be the bad rats" muttered Love.

The girl swung her legs towards the kitchen, picked up the dropped pot and put it in its original place then Love returned to her room to pick up the bag. It just so happened that the online taxi he booked had arrived.

"According to the purpose in the application huh Ma'am?" Ask the driver.

"Yes Sir. Mitra Husada Hospital," replied Cinta.

The car is traveling at medium speed. Love stared at the scenery along the way that looked increasingly smaller. Too enjoying the scenery made him unconscious if the car he was riding had reached the hospital lobby.

"So long ago I took the change."

"No need sir, for Father," reject Love.

"But this is mostly Mommy."

"Nothing, consider it your fortune." Love opened the car door and rushed down the hospital hallways to the womb.

After taking care of the registration, Cinta sat in the waiting chair. Keeping an eye on the surroundings, his lips occasionally curved upwards. Almost all pregnant women accompanied by her husband, while only herself who came alone without being accompanied by anyone.

Love rubbed her stomach. 'Nothing child, Mother will be a mother and father for you, ' her inner self.

After an hour of waiting, it is now Love's turn to get the call. Love did come early to get the number first, and lucky he got the number three.

"Good afternoon Doc" said Love kindly.

"Good afternoon Miss Love." The beautiful doctor named tag Rania replied no less polite. "How are you doing, ma'am?"

"Good Doc."

"All right, let's go check the little guy's condition."

Love lays her body on the bed. A nurse covered her body with a blanket and opened her dress up.

After applying a special gel, the doctor began to move the tranducer.

"Where's Doc? My baby is healthy, right?" Ask Love.

"Thank God, Mom, the baby is healthy and very active. The last time Ms. Love came to the position of the baby does not allow us to see the gender, now we can see her Mom," explained Rania.

"Have you seen Doc?" Ask Love, enthusiastic.

"Already Mom. Congratulations, baby boy's mother."

Silent love. A pair of haru encircled his heart to make the clear grains in the well of his eyes seep, but quickly Love wiped it.

As usual, Rania wrote the prescription drugs and vitamins for Cinta cane in the pharmaceutical section.

"Keep the condition yes ma'am, eat a lot of nutritious food and if you can participate in pregnant gymnastics or small sports such as walking. The age of the womb has entered the seventh month," explained Rania.

"Good Doc. Thank you, I'll excuse you."

"Yes ma'am please."

Love left the room.

Hanum who was sitting on the bench waiting was surprised instead of playing when he saw a figure that was so similar to his former son-in-law. The woman also walked closer to Cinta who was a little far away to the pharmacy hallway.

Hanum almost ran after Cinta if only her queue number had not been called. Yes, Hanum here escorts Raisa who wants to check up her condition after her womb is lifted. Along with that Raisa and Willmar who just returned from the toilet also invited Hanum into the check room.

"Look at what the hell? Ever since I noticed Mama staring in that direction?" Ask Willmar.

"Mama just saw Love, Deck."

"Love?" Willmar and Raisa asked at the same time.

"Yes," Hanum answered briefly.

"Mommy saw the wrong time" Willmar said.

"No way Dek" Hanum.

"Yes, let's go first" asked Willmar.

After the three people sat down and had a brief stale conversation with Rania, Hanum finally couldn't bear to not ask.

"Dok, I'm sorry I wanted the nanya, before" continued Hanum.

"Oh, please Mom. About what?" 

"The patient who just came out earlier, if you may know what his name is?"

"Oh, did you wear a navy dress?" Tanya rania made sure.

"Yes Doc."

"Name of Love, Clarissa Love Kirani. What's the matter, ma'am?"

The deg!

Hanum felt his body wither away for a moment.

"So it's true that he loves Ma" Willmar said.

"Sorry, what's the matter exactly?" Rania curious.

"That was my ex-daughter-in-law Doc."

"Former son-in-law? So she's a widow?" Rania and the sister sat with each other.

"yes Doc. Five months ago he and my son officially parted ways" Hanum said.

"Oh my God" hiss Rania.

"Why Doc?" Ask Raisa.

"It's nothing. I just feel sorry for him, all this time he was the only patient I had who came with no one. Every time I ask, Ms. Love always says that her husband works out of town."

"So, Love is pregnant?" Ask Hanum.

"Yes, Mom. Her gestational age is entering the seventh month."

"Yes God. That means by the time she divorced William she was already one month pregnant." Hanum held onto his chest, shortly after he felt his gaze darken and he did not remember anything else.
