The Ketos

Episodes 104

Until midnight, Galang did not return to his room even his number was off. Shabita sat down while hugging her knees, regretting her stupid words. Her tears seemed endless.

What was said to Galang was completely foolish. Mental was not ready to be a mother yet but this was the destiny she had chosen from the very beginning. Shabita will never throw away the source of her marriage's happiness.

"Lang, where are you?" shabita Lirih. So tired of crying, Shabita fell asleep on the sofa without a pillow let alone a blanket.

Galang did not leave, he was at home but asked everyone not to tell his wife. He just wanted to make room for both. He also understood his wife's feelings but Galang did not expect Shabita to think about eliminating his child. Disappointment is certain, but Galang will not be stupid to take off Shabita just like that. All he said was just a bluff to make Shabita aware.

They marry because of coercion from parents but they also choose to continue. Until they have no right to blame anyone, this is the destiny they have chosen and they must take responsibility for that choice.

In the morning, Galang again felt his stomach as stirred. His head was dizzy immeasurably, all the food in his stomach was removed again. Marni painstakingly accompanied Galang in the bathroom.

"Mom make you some sweet tea, will you?" tawar Marni while kneading nape Galang. The man continued to vomit until there was nothing left.

"That's great, ma!" mooed Galang. Marni returned Galang's body to the bed. Galang really did not expect that he would experience couvade syndrome when his wife was pregnant. If to be honest, Galang felt tormented but he could not imagine his wife who experienced this, had mah everywhere the stomach would be distended and then had to experience cravings as well. Maybe this is how he shares his taste with his wife.

"Ma, is Shabita all right?" ask Galang.

"She's still sleeping, mama's sleeping on the couch, mama can't lift up to move in." Marni enveloped Galang back.

"Why didn't mom tell me?" said Galang worried, his wife would definitely not sleep well.

"Yes, I'm sorry, because my mom only found out this morning. Yes already now mama to your room first, let mama ask help Ani mom to make sweet tea!" marni. The staff did not answer. His heart was worried about Shabita's condition but Galang had to be patient until Shabita was aware.

According to what Marni said earlier, she went into Shabita's room. He saw Shabita sitting daydreaming in the headboard. His eyes were empty with very pale lips.

"You have to eat to be strong, did mama bring you here?" tawar Marni's. Shabita again shook her head.

"Ma," call Shabita slowly. Marni draws her solids closer to Shabita.

"Ma, Galang wants to divorce me," shabita said with melted Matany water.

"No, honey. It's impossible to do that" said Marni.

"But yesterday Galang said that, ma."

"Oh yeah, you're not going to separate. It should be the news of your pregnancy is a happy moment for your marriage. Mama understands you are not ready but mama please do not think strangely. Enough mama aja who feels pregnancy without a husband, enough Galang alone who fit the stomach does not receive affection from his papa, your child is not like that. You do not have to worry about your ideals, after your child is born let the mother take care of it. You are free to go anywhere, achieve all your life goals. Just be patient, baby. Believe me you will not be lost anything with the presence of this child just mama sure she will give happiness to you." advice Marni while looking at Shabita who continues to cry.

"You can go to school until you are 4 months old maybe, after that you can home schooling. Mama guarantees no one will know about this problem but us. You believe in papa, right?" continued Marni. Shabita.

"Yes, don't cry. Not going anywhere, he's in this house!" clearly Marni, her hand rubbed Shabita's cheek.

"Here he is" pointed Marni at Galang who had just entered his room. He was peeking behind the door. Marnie knew about it.

Undergoing a housewife is not an easy thing nor is it something to be feared because every marriage is impossible without problems especially in those who are still in a labile age.

They finally embraced each other happily, promising each other not to say the word separate again.
