Wife's Resilience

KHP 01

"Mas, was already permission, right, if tomorrow does not work? You see, I have registered with the obstetrician, he said tomorrow we are told to come there." explained Rena to her husband.

"Already, as soon as you send a message I ask for permission. You're not working tomorrow?"

"I've asked Dona for permission if I don't get to work tomorrow."

The next day.

The morning has arrived. Now Rena and her husband are enjoying their breakfast at the dinner table.

Today they will go to the obstetrician as scheduled. Rena's already given permission to her friend if today she doesn't go to work. Same with Bagas, Rena's husband. He also had permission today not to work.

After arriving at the gynecologist's place, they were both on an overall test related to each other's fertility.

And the result was so surprising.

' GOOD' that's what the obstetrician said.

Doctors say they are fertile and healthy.

But the question is, why until now they have no offspring.

(only the author knows... 😊)

After the examination, they did not go straight home. They went to Bagas' parents' house.

*****

Arrive at Bagas's parents' house.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Rena and Bagas together.

"Wa'alaikum salam." said Mr. Ramli, Bagas' father from within.

They come in and talk in the living room. Until the arrival of Ms. Anis, her mother Bagas brought drinks and snacks.

"This, in the first drink" said Ms. Anis.

"Yes ma'am, thank you" Rena replied.

They also told me about the results of the examination from the Hospital.

"Then what are you going to do...?" ask Mr. Ramli.

"We will keep trying sir, Rena will go back to see the doctor" replied Rena.

"Yes, the most important thing is that you've tried. Just be patient and believe in Allah."sahut Bu Anis.

"Yes Ma'am." replied Rena and Bagas together.

Tonight they decided to stay at Bagas' parents' house. At first they wanted to go home. But at the insistence of his mother Bagas they finally stayed.

They sleep in Lina's room, Bagas' only sister. Because Bagas' room is under repair.

As for Lina, she did not sleep at home. He works as a shopkeeper and sleeps in a place that has been provided by the store owner.

*****

"Sir, ma'am, we're saying goodbye. I'm afraid of bad luck."

"Yes, you guys be careful."

After saying goodbye to her parents Bagas and Rena went home.

At home there is Mak Irah who is cleaning the house. Before returning home, Rena had told Mama Irah, they had breakfast. So Mak Irah does not need to prepare breakfast for them. Mak Irah works at Bagas house from 05.30 until afternoon. Mak Irah's house is close to their house. So Bagas allowed him to go home after all the work was done. Usually Mak Irah will go home after finishing cooking for dinner. Mak Irah was given one key to the house. He didn't have to wait for Bagas and Rena to come home.

"Mr has come." Rena saw Mak Irah was watering flowers in front of the house.

"Yes to Rena." Mak Irah replied politely.

"I went inside first, Mom."

"Yes, please."

*****

Inside Rena's room helps Bagas wear a tie. After all finished Rena drove Bagas to the terrace of the house.

"Be careful, don't speed." Rena shook hands with Bagas and kissed the back of the palm

her husband's.

"No promise, because it's time for me." Bagas took the motor out of the trunk and immediately put on a helmet.

Suddenly Bagas came down again from his motorbike and approached Rena.

Cup..

Rena could only look at her husband's behavior.

Before running his motorbike Bagas turned to Rena and blinked his flirtatious eyes. Then drove his motorcycle to the office.

"Jeez, there's just one." Rena laughed softly.

*****

"Mommy, Rena says yes. Go to work."

"Yes, ma'am."

In front there is already a biker subscription Rena.

Arriving at the boutique Rena entered from the back door as usual. Inside there is Intan, Wati, and Sari.

"You've come, so diligent." Rena walked towards the locker putting her bag.

"Mom, look at dong's clock." Rena is just a whiny.

"Dona has come."

"Yes already mbak, the boutique already wants to open means it has come. If it has not come how can we enter" said Santi

"Yes yes." Rena just grinned while nodding.

They are ready to open a boutique. Rena is placed in the cashier by Dona, the boutique owner. Rena and Dona have been friends for a long time.

While tidying up the money in the drawer there are mothers approaching the cashier.

"You're Bagas' wife, right? Anis's coat." asked one of the mothers.

"Yes ma'am." replied Rena politely with a smile on her lips.

"How do you know jeng?"

"That's lo, Mr. Ramli's ex."

"Ooo."

"But pity, no children yet. Though married long ago." they walked away from the cashier while chatting.

"Can't you?"

"I don't know. KB is possible."

"I'm not afraid of not being able to have children. In residence new husband knows taste."

"Look at her body like that. Fear of being pregnant. Could've broken that body."

Rena felt tightness in the chest hearing the words of the mothers earlier. He picked up a bottle of drink he put in the bottom drawer. In his drink a few sips of water to reduce the heat that spread in his body because of the words of the mothers.

Break time in the boutique is done in turn. Rena is currently behind for lunch. Food prepared by Dona.

When Rena ate Dona came to her.

"It's over Ren." Dona sat in the front seat of Rena.

Rena just nodded.

"Are you okay?" Rena looked at Dona.

"I was able to hear the words of the mothers of the eggpong earlier."

"It's okay. It's just normal like that."

Dona held Rena's hand.

"Yes, I'm going to the bathroom. Wudhu first."

Rena left Dona. Dona could only look from behind.

"If only you would share, I would always be ready." muttered Dona as she rose from her seat.

*****

In the bathroom Rena lights the water faucet. Let the water keep flowing. He was facing the wall with tears dripping down his cheeks.

"Why do they say that. What do they think I am a girl. Fellow girls why they don't understand my feelings."

That feeling kept raging in Rena's mind.

Rena looks so strong from the outside. But if it is alone it will become very fragile. Not even the closest people to him knew how fragile and suffering he was. Because Rena would just shut up and cry in her silence.
