There is No Need for Love

S2: There is a Resident Now

Since becoming a lecturer, Asrul's home hours became erratic, but now a lot of time can be used for Risda, now both can sleep again a few minutes after breakfast, because the same empty schedule. The opportunity to see the house they built is also increasing.

Asrul and Risda have even made a lot of new things in this house, the edge of the pond made by Asrul is filled with flowers, not only Risda, Asrul also so has a new hobby, so it has a new hobby, picked up the flower seeds that he saw beautiful around the campus where he taught.

When there is a new flower like this, both will linger long in their homes, just as planting, joking in the garden, and often also continue inside, falling asleep until noon, he said, after the new dzuhur left there, Asrul headed to campus after driving Risda back to the main house.

Both activities are more fun, the visit to Natalia's house also increased rapidly, especially at the end of this Natalia is often not well, if it is so, Asrul and Risda will usually choose to stay there. Asrul has also improved and beautified Natalia's home.

Now the front garden and the back garden of Natalia's house are already with a different face in the hands of Asrul, not only Natalia, now Widya also becomes more often sit talking with Natalia in the back garden, and, both of them are equally fond of the concept made by Asrul, both are at home to look at it.

The amount of time together makes Asrul and Risda seem more friendly, both of them often make Farhan jealous, making Farhan become very longing for Faridha. Moreover, Sunday, Asrul and Risda were together all the time, already like newlyweds, spoiled with uncertain spoils, no matter who they were, as if this world belonged to just the two of them.

Repeatedly Tomy had to turn right because of the appearance of Asrul and Risda who were blinking in the middle of the garden side yard. If this is the case, Tomy can only shake his head, choose a detour or even cancel his destination, can return to the room, or sometimes prefer to read a book in musholla.

Instead of being upset or something, Tomy instead felt salute and liked by the couple, Tomy found many things that need to be learned to be able to be practiced when later given the windfall to meet a friend. Tomy sees Asrul and Risda as a couple who complement each other, Tomy likes the nature of both, Asrul and Risda are equally idol to Tomy.

This is also often a topic of discussion between Farhan and Tomy, openly, Farhan will always admit to miss Faridha, Tomy just a head bob, Tomy, Tomy is also just smirking that Farhan lures Tomy about relationships with women, there is no answer from Tomy about this, although Farhan always says there are many beautiful women and sholehah around him, especially on campus.

But Tomy grinned not because of what, Tomy seems not ready for it. Tomy prefers to focus on her studies. Tomy does not want Grand Father and his father in the village so disappointed, Tomy came here just to learn, study and learn to find his love, about women according to Tomy will be there in time, he said, it will be beautiful in time.

Asrul was too late to see Risda who was morning blind had vomited violently, until her tears had flowed. Asrul hugged Risda from behind with all his worry, Asrul paled, unable to bear to see Risda who was so forced to remove her entrails.

Asrul went to the door that had been knocked from outside, as soon as the door opened, Asrul immediately stepped aside because he was pushed aside by his mother and went straight into Mutia and Reni's followings, Asrul just shook his head and stepped closer, Asrul now just stood watching.

Risda had been laid on the bed, Mutia had taken out her equipment and Meeta immediately did an examination, regardless of what Reni had taken out of her pocket, clearly Risda stood towards the bathroom and on the way out handed the one that Reni had given to their mother Meeta.

Asrul was still confused when his mother and two younger siblings immediately laughed and kissed Risda alternately, after which Asrul was targeted, his mother and two younger siblings alternately pinched his cheeks, even with a deep frown, Asrul remained smiling, still confused as the three came out again and closed the door.

Asrul approached and sat on the edge of the bed, Asrul's forehead grew furrowed inward as Risda instead smiled widely and gave what Reni had given and brought Risda to the bathroom, Asrul receives the small tool and nods his head, the code asks about what is going on.

Risda stroked her stomach. “This Bang”.

Asrul looked at Risda's stomach. “Adek stomachache ?”.

Risda shakes. “Not stomach pain. Brother ada”.

Asrul is getting closer and now holds Risda's stomach. “Why ?”.

Risda's big smile again made Asrul's forehead wrinkle increased, Asrul again nods his head because it is more confused to see Risda who continues to spread a very revealing smile.

“Why deck ?”.

Risda stroked her stomach again. “There are inhabitants now”.

Asrul's eyes instantly rounded. “What ?”.

Risda smiled again. “Yes, there is a person in”.

“Aduh, we ..”.

Risda nodded her head. Asrul immediately hugged and kissed Risda as much as he could, but then Asrul's tears came down, he leaned his body against the wall while continuing to hug his wife tightly, as he held her back, asrul repeatedly kissed the top of Risda's head with affection, Asrul could not describe his feelings now, everything was united, mixed in such a way.

Almost three years they were married, finally the news that awaited Asrul came as well, the news that had actually become Asrul's dream, but his affection for Risda made him never dare to ask this, he never dared to ask this, already many friends suggested that they check, but Asrul just shook his head, he was afraid that it offended Risda.

“Mama don't send adek to hospital, check ?”.

Risda nodded her head. “Iya anyway Bang, Mama told so”.

“Come if it's”.

Risda is a bit tickling. “Abang not to campus is indeed ?”.

Asrul. “No, his son again PKL, so empty now”.

Risda smiled and nodded her head, then immediately prepared to be ready, before long both of them were on the vehicle and drove to the hospital, it only took a few minutes, just a few minutes, Asrul and Risda have entered the lobby, both in a sweet welcome at the reception, all seem happy to see Asrul and Risda come together, because it is indeed rare.

The name of the one who had the hospital, Risda went straight to Mutia's room, not Risda who came to his doctor, but his doctor who came to Risda to a special examination room in Mutia's room. Dr. Laila looked bright when doing the examination, but she did not feel enough, so she brought Risda into her room.

The nurse in the room dr. Laila was immediately busy preparing all the things needed once Risda and Asrul appeared, Risda again got the examination, but only a few minutes, dr. Laila had allowed Risda to sit, Asrul also automatically sat next to Risda.

“Where to doc?”.

Doctor Laila had a big smile. “Aman Mr. Rul. The content of the mother is good, now it is 36 weeks old. This is the first pregnancy, so the mother must be careful too, whatever it is, there is a risk, but it appears if we ignore the instructions”.

Asrul and Risda alike nod their heads. After the conversation was over, Asrul and Risda went out and even went straight home. Laila took a peek at the two to make sure they were home, after being sure, Laila rushed up to the fourth floor, towards Meeta's room.

Laila went straight in without knocking first, Meeta who saw Laila coming in straightened out her way of sitting, Meeta knew that Laila had just checked her daughter-in-law's content, there was Meeta's immediate worry, moreover, seeing Laila so rushed.

“There is a problem with my son-in-law La ?”.

Laila hela long breath. “Entah Meet, I just assumed, later certainly to doctor Muhli”.

Meeta's forehead immediately wrinkled. “My daughter has a heart history ?”.

Meeta immediately nodded. “What ?, Throw it away ?. What the hell is La”.

Laila shrugs. “I said that danger, not necessarily, this is just an estimate. So fast fast, do not get late, everything so all difficult”.

Meeta sighed, nodding her head. “Okey La, thank you, tomorrow I ask them to see doctor Muhli”.

Laila stand. “Good if so. Don't be long Meet”.

“Iya La, yes. Thank you in advance”.

Laila nodded her head. “I wait for the results Meet”.

Meeta just nods her head. But, when Laila was lost behind the door, Meeta who wanted to continue her work receding, Meeta even bit the pen soft in her hand, Meeta suddenly became so restless, she said, it's not calm right now.

Throwing it away?, it was a word that so pierced Meeta's heart, blinded her head also to be throbbing, it was a word that Meeta didn't want at all, it would not only disappoint her, it would not only make her disappointed, but the whole house will experience the same thing, especially Asrul and Risda of course.

But if that's the best thing, Meeta doesn't have enough reason to challenge him either. Meeta is really very dizzy, her head is getting pulsating, the more it hurts. I can't imagine what would happen to my family if that were the case.

Asrul and Risda are now in their new home, the conclusion was not to return to the main house, want to walk first. But, Asrul does not want the road far away, later Risda tired, Asrul does not want it, so just choose their future home as a destination, here both can do anything, Asrul did not want it, no one will give you any distraction.

The joy was indeed perfect in the hearts of Asrul and Risda, a joy that had never been imagined before, Asrul had no ability to describe his heart, such a burning pleasure, so much so, going to be a father became the real thing all this time very much in desire Asrul.

Asrul is silent always jealous to see his friends who seem always happy with their children, even they are much younger than Asrul who is now almost 29 years old. There are many friends who are satisfied holding their little baby when they are just 25 years old.

So that the news about Risda's pregnancy became the biggest news for Asrul, the news that would change his life story, the story that would take him far ahead, the news that would be, the story that makes Asrul will have a more colorful life, will be more meaningful, and of course will be happier.

Almost the new afternoon the two returned home, even Asrul had been absent from his teaching activities on campus, Asrul really forgot with that, he was too late with what he just knew, Asrul really forgot with that, so that the contents of Asrul's head were only Risda, Risda, and Risda, nothing else, making him forget everything.

Asrul did not really care to see Mom and her two sisters were having a serious conversation in the living room, Asrul just passed by when Risda instead chose to stop, Asrul directly entered the room, something made him quite tired, some of which made him quite tired, after all, it is necessary to rush a bath because soon adzan maghrib, while earlier Asrul and Risda even more than once did it.

But, just about to go to the bathroom, Asrul heard the notification on his phone, Asrul did not think long, immediately took the phone and read the WA message that entered his phone, Asrul's eyes somewhat smaller, and Asrul's eyes were not happy, the message came from his mother, a message asking for time to talk, but why should it be without Risda.

Asrul replied yes, then headed straight for the bathroom. But, not at all comfortable, Asrul finally took a shower and impressed hunted, finished and tired of the bathroom, Asrul found a wide smile Risda who was also ready to enter, he even brought all his toiletries.

"Again to the great mosque ya dek". Asrul approached while kissing Risda's cheek.

Risda nodded her head. "The return of Bang ?".

"Maybe it's just there".

Risda just nods her head and goes straight to the bathroom. It was actually just Asrul's reason for Risda not to look for him, Asrul just wanted to make sure what his mother wanted to talk about, the time between Maghrib and Isya would probably be enough.

"What's the matter Ma ?". Asrul was in front of Meeta, Mutia and Reni complete with a fairly deep frown.

"Where's risda ?".

"Again shower".

Meeta seemed to think long. "We'll just get out Rul".

Asrul just nodding his head plus with her growing hermitage, the attitude of his mother who like to hide something from Risda makes Asrul more questionable. But Asrul comes along when his mother hands him the keys to his mother's car, Asrul steps up and then moves out of the house.

"Where are we going Ma ?".

Meeta shakes. "Whatever, the important thing is to talk a lot".

Asrul's forehead is getting wrinkled, adzan maghrib reverberated. Finally Asrul entered the big mosque, at least Asrul felt no lie to Risda, he was right to the big mosque. Meeta also came down and participated in carrying out the congregational maghrib, but Meeta's heart actually has not found peace.

Asrul got in the car when he saw his mother had gone in first. "Actually Mama wants to say what Ma ?".

Meeta took a long breath. "How, obviously tomorrow morning, try to take Risda to the hospital to see Dr Muhli".

Asrul's forehead was slightly wrinkled. "Doctor Muhli ?".

Meeta nods her head. "You shouldn't need a long explanation from Mama, because you should know what your wife's heart is".

Asrul jerks. "I mean Mama ?".

Meeta shrug. "You have to do a total check, whether the content of Risda does not affect the heart. If not, thank God, it means safe, if it turns out yes... ". Meeta sighed. "Mama don't know how".

Asrul's forehead is really wrinkled. "Mama actually means how Ma, Asrul, even so confused".

Meeta breathes heavily again. "If it turns out to be safe, it's safe. If it turns out that it has a harmful impact, we are still safe to throw it away".

Asrul immediately nodded. "What did mama say ?".

Meeta shook her head. "Mama just delivered what Laila's doctor said. What matters now, is how you can take Risda tomorrow to Dr Muhli, we hear what she says later".
