The Toga Rahayu

Thanksgiving

In the evening Rahayu was moved to the nursery, faithfully Andika waited and did not move at all from the room. Mother and father returned home not staying overnight considering at home there are still Rahayu's younger brothers and sisters who need supervision. If the situation is stable like this, it is likely that tomorrow afternoon will be allowed to return home.

Not to forget Mother shared this happy news with Mother Reno and the existing family, not without reason Mother and Reno family are like their own family even though Reno is no longer there. Mother and Father are happy for Rahayu's pregnancy. They were so enthusiastic waiting for the presence of grandchildren among their families.

Likewise with Andika's parents who are no less excited, even Mama and Papa are ready to make a thanksgiving at Andika's house later when Rahayu comes home from the hospital. They deliberately did not visit Rahayu not indifferent to her pregnancy only they were preparing a surprise for her future grandchildren.

Overnight full Andika awake looking fixed face of his wife who is so beautiful naturally without polish, somehow Andika's heart never disturbed at all with other women since their first meeting. His hand gently caressed the beautiful hair of his wife who was down did not forget to kiss her forehead several times as an expression of gratitude for being willing to contain his successor.

In the morning the doctor visits to check on Rahayu's condition, before the doctor arrives the nurse gives a small flat object to Rahayu to confirm the diagnosis that Rahayu is pregnant. Sure enough after the morning urine test there are two red lines that indicate that Rahayu is really pregnant.

When the doctor visited and examined Rahayu's condition, Andika asked the doctor to do USG, Andika wanted to see firsthand how the condition of her prospective child. Not long ago the doctor also brought Rahayu and Andika to do USG, in the monitor screen there is a small spot.

“It's yes Pak Bu her fetus, still as big as peanut” seeds. The middle-aged female doctor glared at them.

The two smiled when they saw a new life in Rahayu's stomach, Andika's hand never let go of his wife's hand during the USG process took place, andika unceasingly gave thanks to the power of the sustenance that Allah entrusted to them both.

“Good ma'am, because the condition is quite good and stable so Ibu Rahayu is allowed to go home, later I will prescribe vitamins and do not forget the monthly control”. Said the obstetrician.

“Good Doctor trimakasih”.

Rahayu and Andika's house.

At the residence Rahayu and Andika have been in a scene welcoming the return of Rahayu from the hospital. Mama took the initiative to do a small visit by inviting some of the closest neighbors around the Andika house to share the happiness. Not to forget mama also invited Merisa who happened to be her home directly opposite Rahayu's house.

Mother and Father Reno also participated in Rahayu's house, in addition to celebrating Rahayu's pregnancy, Reno's father and Andika's father were sabahat and business partners so there was something they needed to discuss.

In the afternoon Rahayu and Andika prepared to go home, all the way to the house Rahayu was so confused why her in-laws did not come to visit her, did not even ask her news even though only through a telephone connection.

Rahayu was sad her mind guessed, what had been wrong with her attitude and speech to her in-laws so they did not come to visit. Rahayu did not dare to ask this to Andika afraid to make her offended. His mind was busy guessing.

Fifteen minutes drive from the hospital to their home, their car enters the yard. Rahayu began to be confused when she found her house with the door open and many people.

“Assalamualaikum”, he said by being held by Andika to enter the house.

“Wassalamu'alaikum”, with compact everyone in the living room replied.

Rahayu was so shocked to see many neighbors in the living room of her house and a lot of small dishes in their midst.

Rahayu returned the embrace of the mother, not long after the mother also came out of the middle room and also embraced Rahayu.

“Happy yes dear already want to be mother”. said mother Reno by stroking Rahayu flat stomach.

“Thanks everyone”, Rahayu's eyes glazed with surprise given by her mother-in-law. All bad thoughts Rahayu to Mama-in-law broken already, apparently now she understands why mama did not come to see him, mama is busy preparing this all.

This small thanksgiving event was carried out by reading prayers together for the safety of Rahayu and her future baby.

An hour later the joint prayer to pray for Rahayu and her future son was finished. Neighbors one by one began to retreat to say goodbye. Do not forget Mama gave gifts to those who came.

Merisa just came home from Jogja, with a face that was so pouting down from the taxi on line that delivered her. Feeling so upset three days in Jogja looking for the whereabouts of Andika who never found, finally he decided to go home with disappointment.

Arriving in front of the house, Merisa was confused by the scenery in front of her.

“How many people came out of Andika and Rahayu” house, he said in his heart by observing one by one people who came out and brought parcels.

Respecting for abandoning his intention to enter his home, he dismissed one of the neighboring gangs that crossed his house.

“Bu sorry, what event is there at Rahayu's house?”.

“Oh it was mbak event mbak Rahayu” pregnancy, replied the neighbor by continuing his steps.

“What? Pregnant?!”. Said Merisa so surprised.

“Didn't they just marry her, why are you pregnant?”.

Respecting ******-***** his shirt, he was getting upset that day had gone all the way to Jogja could not meet with Andika, uh until the house could hear if Rahayu was pregnant.

His sense of sadness was increasing when he saw Andika and Rahayu who were joining in front of the house to deliver the neighbors who came home.

“Hah! Andika's at home? Isn't he in Jogja?”.

“So you guys played me?”, grumbled Merisa in heart.

Highlight his eyes looked at Rahayu's house hatefully because of their lies a few days ago.

Meanwhile, Rahayu and Andika who saw her presence in her house immediately took a parcel to share it with Merisa. Andika asked her mother for help to deliver the parcel to Merisa's house.

Rahayu's hand waved to him from there.

With a wry smile Merisa returned the wave of the hand.
