The Sacrifice of Nayra

Cravings

After breakfast, Mr. Samsul and Ms. Maya say goodbye to return to Bogor. And that morning also Miss Aini returned to Jogja. Before leaving they give a message to Rama to keep Nayra and the baby in the womb well. Rama also agreed.

Then Rama took Nayra to the hospital to check her contents. They are still on leave.

The obstetrician also performed an ultrasound on Nayra's fetus. Rama faithfully accompanied his wife.

"Healthy mother's fetus. He was 8 weeks old" the doctor said.

"Alhamdulillah.."

"That means I've been pregnant for two months. But why didn't I do anything before?" Nayra wonder. So too with Rama.

"That's natural Mom. Because the experience of every pregnant person is different, depending on hormones. Some people experience morning sickness, namely nausea and vomiting in the morning in the first trimester of pregnancy. There are also those who do not feel anything like Mom" the doctor explained.

"I'll write a recipe for Mom. The vitamins should be taken regularly, Mom! Check for pregnancy once a month!"

"Yes Doc"

"In addition, you also have to eat a lot of nutritious food, adequate rest, do not be too tired and stressed! Please take care of his wife!"

"Good Doctor"

After the hospital, Rama and Nayra went straight home. During the trip, Rama thought about the words of the doctor earlier.

"You why Mas? Why just shut up?"

"I thought the same thing the doctor said. Honey, would you rather just quit your job? I don't want you to feel tired and stressed" Rama said while focusing on driving.

"No, I can still work. I also do not experience morning sickness like pregnant women in general"

"But baby, I don't want to take any chances. I don't want you and our baby to do anything"

"If I quit my job, who's gonna be your secretary? Do you want to find a secretary who's pretty and sexy like Sofia again?"

Rama smiled.

"Why? You jealous?"

Nayra just kept quiet. He turned his eyes out the window.

"You calm down, baby. If you stop working, I'll find a male secretary so you won't be jealous anymore"

Nayra turned towards Rama and smiled.

"Where?" ask Rama.

"As far as you go, my mother"

The cup!

Nayra put her lips on Rama's cheek.

"I love you" whispered Nayra in Rama's ear.

"I love you too, baby"

THAT AFTERNOON

Nayra widened her eyes when she saw the name 'Aditya Kusuma Wardhana' plastered on the cover of an architectural magazine subscription Rama. Nayra opened the magazine and read it. After that, Nayra rushed to meet Rama who was busying himself in his study.

"Mas, take a look at this!"

Nayra showed the magazine to Rama. How shocked Rama was when he saw the magazine cover. On the cover it says 'Aditya Kusuma Wardhana, the winner of the Great Mosque design competition held by the Governor of Central Java'

Rama opened the magazine and read it carefully.

"I really did not expect, Mas Adit can design a mosque that is as beautiful as that" murmured Nayra.

"It's customary"

"Okaya? But the design was really good. Mas Adit also managed to become champion one you know"

"Darling, stop praising your ex-boyfriend! I can design a better mosque than this"

"You why the hell Mas? Are you jealous?"

"Yes I'm jealous. So don't praise the other men in front of me! I don't like it"

"Just like"

In his heart, actually Rama also admired Aditya's design. Besides the good design it is also unique and interesting. It is only fair if Aditya becomes champion one and gets a cash prize of one hundred million rupiah. But Rama did not want to admit it in front of Nayra.

"Why are you so jealous of Mas Adit, Mas? I no longer have any feelings for him. I'm just amazed by the design" said Nayra with a little annoyance.

Since the airport at that time, Rama forbade Nayra to get in touch with Aditya again. Rama also requests that Nayra delete Aditya's mobile number. Because Rama does not want Nayra to secretly send a message to Aditya again. And from then on, Nayra had never heard from Aditya until today.

THAT NIGHT

Nayra lay on her back to Rama in bed.

"Darling.. Why are you? Are you still mad at me?" ask Rama.

Since the incident, Nayra did not speak a word with Rama.

"Okey, I'm sorry for the incident" Rama added.

Nayra still hasn't budged. Rama hugged Nayra from behind and gently rubbed her stomach.

"Darling to be angry! Poor our baby.."

"I admit Aditya's design was really good. I knew from a very long time ago that he was very talented. Later he will definitely be a great architect with his ability" continued Rama.

Nayra turned her body towards Rama.

"alright. I'll forgive you if you buy me gelato"

"What?? Gelato??" Rama is shocked to hear Nayra's request.

"Yes. I don't know why I really want to eat gelato in Italy. Maybe I'm craving again?"

Rama patted his forehead.

"Darling, can't you crav in not being weird? Do I have to fly to Italy to buy you gelato?"

"Yes if you don't want to. Don't mistake me, if our son drools"

Nayra was singing her lips.

"Darling, how about we go find it in an Italian restaurant? Maybe there's still an open clock here"

Nayra finally complied. Later that night Rama takes Nayra out to look for gelato at an Italian restaurant. At that time, the clock showed ten o'clock at night.

After traveling around the city for an hour, they finally found an Italian restaurant that was open 24 hours. They went in and ordered the gelato that Nayra coveted.

Unmitigated, Nayra immediately ordered two servings of gelato, chocolate flavor and fruit flavor. She said one for her, and one for the baby. Rama ordered a cup of his favorite Italian coffee.

"Thank you a lot, dear Papa" said Nayra while enjoying her gelato.

Rama just smiled watching his wife who ate gelato voraciously.
