Gian prepares for a trip to Bandung for their anniversary. Stay at one of the hotels there, also visit the home of aunt and uncle Regina. They were warmly welcomed. Although it was only a short while, Regina was very happy. He got better after meeting his family.
In the evening they spend time walking together, enjoying the cold of Bandung City from one of the cafes that offers beautiful scenery. Take a walk, they go back to the hotel. Do fun and stressful activities both. The cold air of Bandung makes it difficult for the couple to escape and continue to heat up their passion. They should go on vacation there often. The colder it is, the more romantic it becomes.
After Gian said to enjoy the process more and not be too hasty, Regina stopped looking at her biological schedule, when her monthly guests came, when they should be in touch. He also stopped short of banning Gian from going out of town or overtime occasionally. Now his mind is focused again on working, working, and enjoying his time with Gian.
...****************...
The car drove slowly on a fairly crowded road. It's raining down hard. They were scheduled to stay at Gumelar's residence. All Gian's brothers will also stay there for Arsila's event later in the afternoon. There was only the sound of music from the radio playing in Gian's car.
Regina kept silent the whole way, staring at the wet road outside the window. The mood is really ugly. Since morning his head was heavy and his body was uncomfortable. He just wanted to stay home. But it's not possible. With great difficulty he laid out his limp heart and body not eager to leave.
Regina had promised herself that she would not be saddened by her failure for the past few months. Especially now that she has to attend Arsila's 4th monthly pregnancy event at the Gumelar residence. She should be happy for Gian's cousin's pregnancy.
“You why did you keep on from this morning? Pain?” Gian asked from behind his wheel.
“Nothing kok.” Answer Regina briefly.
“You're still thinking about why you're not pregnant yet? You're running into Arsila's show now?”
“Kok you recite like that anyway?”
“Not recriminate, but nanya. If you feel it's okay, too. It's normal if you feel jealous and so lazy to meet other women who are pregnant because you are not pregnant too. Dehumanised. You don't doain ugly as well as them.”
“Ngga. I don't feel like that. I'm fine.”
“If you feel uncomfortable coming to Arsila's event, I can put back now. Don't go there. Let me find the same reason Arsila.”
“Apaan anyway, Gi. I said it's okay too.”
Regina was lazily arguing with Gian. Today he was very lazy to do anything. Just want to be quiet and not talk to anyone. When he arrived at the Gumelar residence, all Gian's brothers had gathered. They helped prepare and tidy up a place for the afternoon study. Regina was forced to join in, smiling, chatting and joking despite her mood.
“You are consul with Dr Ratih?” Arsila asked as the women were gathered in the living room.
“Udah cocoon, Kak.” Regina was actually very lazy to discuss this. Moreover, all Gian's brothers are here now.
“How do you say?”
“Have a wait of 6 months and be given vitamins aja.”
“Rere again promil?” Ask Esty.
“Iya, Aunt. Doain yes.”
“Ya sure. But do not get stressed because pingin cepet-cepet pregnant.” Yuniar.
“Enjoy the process. Still young. Plenty of holidays, honeymoon continues.” Esty added.
“Worried may be, especially if you see a woman or a sibling who is pregnant. Aunty is also empty 3 years, until thought and crying first.” Yudhita.
“Tante also waited quite a long time to get pregnant?” Ask Regina curiously. He rarely met Yudhita or communicated with her, not knowing about her life.
“Iya. Sampe stress, fight the same Om Grace continues, and so sickly. Moreover, his aunt lives in the village. Doing work in the field. I don't know how many people get pregnant every day. Sampe was told to drink herbal medicine, seek treatment to people pinter, or follow the myths of the area so let cepet pregnant.”
“Finally Yudhita nangis-nangis pingin stopped working.” Yuniar LEDEK.
“If there is something like that every day makes the mental down too, right? Fortunately, there is rarely anything here to do with it. Most occasionally when pregnant, tomorrow also forget and never see again.” Yudhita.
“That's really heavy, if the name and demand it from a husband or close family. Sometimes we have difficulty answering. If aunty here is relaxed, as long as you are happy. Gian also has a lot of comments, right?” Added Yuniar.
Regina nodded in agreement. He felt quite amused by all the encouraging words from the Gian brothers. They were very supportive of Regina's efforts. There are many things Regina should be grateful for now. She is married to Gian who cares deeply and supports her. Also his family warms up and accepts him well, without judging, or demanding anything from him.
The show starts at 4 p.m. People started coming home in white dress codes. The living room is devoted to male guests, and the living room is for female guests. Some of the socialite mothers Regina knew also came. But fortunately there was no Vanya there. Maybe his mood is ruined today.
When the time shows at 6 o'clock, one by one the guests start to say goodbye. Not to forget they brought hampers to take home as a hand. Although many still live and chat. But the room is quieter. Regina sees Gian walking into the kitchen, then retreats from the chat to follow her husband. The kitchen was quiet, everyone was now in the living room and living room.
“Gian.” Said Regina leaning her head against the shoulder of Gian who was drinking cold water from the refrigerator “Can we just go home? Don't need to nginep.”
Gian embraces Regina, then looks at her “Why?”
“I'm not feeling well. Dizziness. Want to go home and rest.”
“You're so pale, Re.” Gian said worriedly. Regina looks pale and limp. A cold sweat appeared on his neck and forehead, making his strands of hair wet. The room is air-conditioned and cool.
“Yes we're home now. I'll tell you something else.” Gian.
They finally said goodbye to go home early on the grounds that Gian had to do an important job tonight. During the trip Regina just fell asleep. His body seemed to run a marathon, limp helpless and lost energy. His head was also very dizzy. Even when he got home he whined to be carried down from the car to the room.
Regina fell asleep until morning, but when she woke up her body still did not improve. He still felt dizzy and limp. Although not as bad as yesterday.
“You're still not feeling well?” Gian whispered when he saw his wife woke up. Gian woke up early and finished his morning service. Regina simply nodded slowly, retracing her blanket.
“You want me to make breakfast what?”
“Ga to eat.” Reply Regina slowly.
“Omelet?” Ask Gian again. Regina didn't reply.
Gian has already passed out to the kitchen. Regina got out of bed and went to the toilet. His body felt boneless from suffocation, now his stomach was suddenly uncomfortable while standing. Regina quickly ran to the toilet. Spewing out his stomach in the sink. Regina vomited so many times, that all she could get out was bitter saliva and saliva in her mouth. After that, he washed his mouth using cold water. Exhausted and just staring at his reflection in the mirror.
For a few seconds he looked back at her face. Quickly he opened the shelf behind the mirror, took a few test packs from there. Regina had never seen her monthly schedule calendar, nor marked when she was in her fertile years. But maybe the miracle is coming now, right?
Impatiently Regina waited for the indicator to change on the 4 brands of test packs that she used. Slowly one red line appeared almost simultaneously. Regina's heart was ready to be disappointed again. But then the second line popped faintly in one of the test kits. Before long the other test equipment began to change showing 2 firm red lines. Regina was transfixed for a few seconds in disbelief, tears coming down her cheeks without being asked.
“GIAAANN!” Shouting Regina.
He ran out of the toilet, through his room, down the stairs and into the kitchen. There, Gian was busy cooking an omelette for breakfast. Regina immediately hugged Gian, leaving the man in shock and almost spilling an omelette from his teflon.
“Why? What's wrong with you, Re?” Gian asked in panic. Regina did not answer. Only a crying voice sounded from him. For some time, Regina continued to hug Gian without explanation.
“I'm pregnant, Gi.” Regina said she let go of her embrace, showing Gian 4 test packs with two red lines.
Gian smile, “Alhamdulillah.” He said calmly, pulling Regina back into his arms. He peeked at his wife's forehead and continued to rub her head gently.
Regina cried even louder, expelling all the feelings of joy and unimaginable joy. Eventually he was given the confidence again to obtain offspring. He forgot the feeling of discomfort in his stomach, dizziness in his head, and weakness in his body. He just wanted to record the events of today being the most precious moment of his life. From today Regina will be a mother.
“You want breakfast now?” Gian asked, as Regina began to take control of her.
“Missful, nauseous.”
“I've bikini omelette.”
“Make. I want to eat sweet.”
“Yes have I made pancakes?”
Regina nodded and smiled. Then tiptoe kissed Gian's lips.
“Thank you.”
All the best things Regina felt today were thanks to Gian. People who always support him and pay attention to him. And of course, the only person who can realize her desire to make her a mother.
