When Does Love Exist?

Patience of a mother

The breeze in the park does cool the body. Danita enjoys her fruit salad in the backyard. Since she became pregnant she ate a lot. Whatever food goes into his mouth. Even the food he disliked was now eating. Almost every hour his stomach was hungry.

Bagas parked his car in front of Haikal's house. Before returning to the office he drove Deon and Fariz home.

"Let's get down Deon" said Bagas. Deon shook his head while looking down. "Why? Scared?" ask Bagas.

Deon's eyes looked at Bagas. He saw his frightened face. "Deon is afraid that you are angry" he said. Bagas stroking Deon's hair.

"There's no reason to be afraid" Bagas assured Deon. His hand reached out to take Deon out of the car. Deon put his foot down the car.

"Don't be afraid later let om who will explain to your mother yes" Bagas holding Deon's cheek. "Tos first" Bagas asked as he raised his hand. Deon according to him patted Bagas' palm.

Bagas approached Danita in the back of the house. The Deon he was invited to ran away from him out of fear.

Danita sees the arrival of Deon and Bagas. He was amazed to see his son leave. It's not usually Deon like that. Usually Deon would call Danita and hug her.

Danita heard an explanation from Bagas about the incident at school that befell the baby. He rubbed his stomach. Hopefully the child he is carrying is not like Haikal anymore.

He knew very well the nature and behavior of Deon down from his father. It made him very angry at Haikal.

Deon covered his entire body with a blanket. No one will defend him if he does something wrong. His grandparents were in Singapore.

Deon's body shook but it wasn't very clear. Danita opened her son's room door. Walk closer to the child.

His hand opened Deon's blanket. "Here mom hug" said Danita while sticking her hand forward. Doubtfully Deon approached his mother.

"This is the mother's hug" said Danita grabbed her child's body. Deon hugged his mother so tightly. She was crying in Danita's arms.

"Why are you crying, baby?" ask Danita in a soft tone. "Deon..when Deon's father.." said Deon stammered while crying.

"Why baby?" Danita wiped her son's tears. "If you know for sure Deon was scolded or punished by bun" Deon said.

Danita smiled as she said, "Deon is not wrong because you know Deon is a good child". Danita hugged her son again.

"Later if the father is angry say to the mother yes, the mother will get angry behind him" he said to calm the child. Danita rubbed Deon's back.

"Now Deon shower yes already smells cool" ledek Danita while covering her nose. Deon smiled at her smile. "Well, dong smiled, so mother followed the seneng. After bathing down to the kitchen, mother will make white milk for you".

Deon entered the bathroom. After taking a shower, she walked to the kitchen and approached her mother. Danita hands Deon a glass of milk.

Outside the house, Raka's car came. He came deliberately to meet his champion. Raka hears from Bagas that Deon has been involved in a fight.

"Hai Deon" Raka said in a loud voice. Deon ran the guest room to see Raka. "Om Raka" Deon hugs Raka. "Wah this om whiz is great" ledek Raka.

"What do you mean?" ask Deon a little ketus. He fused his thick eyebrows. Raka smiled broadly.

"Take the guards call them" Raka told him. Deon ran to gather the guards in the back house one by one. "Let's go, sir, and come" Deon forced the chief of the bodyguards. His hand tried to pull the bodyguard's head into the back of the main house.

Haikal went home with Bagas. She went into her room and saw Danita drying her hair. Haikal approached his wife and stroked her slightly distended stomach.

Because of Danita's bad mood. She instantly put away her husband's burly hand. "So get out" he said.

Haikal retreated and went to the bathroom without a word. He knew his wife might be in a bad mood. Doctors have warned him to be more patient to face a pregnant wife. Pregnant people will often get angry. Especially to her husband.

Haikal understood that. Because when Danita was pregnant Deon was as fierce as it is now.

Bagas joined playing ball at the back of the house. They stopped playing football because it was late afternoon.

In the evening Danita helps Deon with schoolwork. Haikal was busy with his laptop and documents in the workspace.

After school work Deon slept. Danita rubbed Deon's head and kissed her forehead. "Good night dear, may you have a good dream" he said with a smile.

Danita turned off Deon's room light and went outside. Danita walked down the stairs. His head suddenly felt dizzy. He held the stairs while walking slowly.

Danita's eyes blurred and fainted. Bi Ema's son who accidentally saw her caught Danita's collapsed body. "God, miss, wake up" said Burhan, patting Danita on the cheek slowly.

Bi Ema saw Danita who fainted. He told his son to lift Dinka into his room.

Bi Ema knocking on the door of Haikal's study. "Come in" Haikal said from the inside. "Sorry sir interrupted her time, it was non Danita blacked out" he said quickly.

"Bi fainting?" ask Haikal. He ran out of the study room to his room. "Honey woke up" said Haikal moving his wife's cheeks.

"Bi quickly call Frans' doctor" asked Haikal. She rubbed Danita's cheeks trying to wake her up.

Shortly thereafter, Dr. Frans arrived. He checked Danita. "How's doc?" haikal asked, his face still panicked.

"He's fine just too much thought maybe, I'll give him vitamins" explained the Doctor.

"Has anything been bothering her lately?" ask doctor. "There's no dock" Haikal replied. "Well you should as a husband should really be able to take care of your wife well" added the doctor.

Haikal thinks maybe because Danita thinks too much about Deon. He nodded and rubbed his face.

After the doctor said that Haikal did not continue his work. But he approached the unconscious wife. "I'm sorry baby I can't be a good husband and father yet" Haikal rubbed his wife's head.

His hand was tightly clasped by Danita's hand. He rubbed his wife's stomach and kissed her.

Haikal laid his body beside his wife's body. And slumber.
