Because, I Love You
Episode 164

I still can't believe what the doctor said. Aaakh, how can I forget the last time I got my menstrual schedule. I feel like my appetite has been increasing lately. And my mood is so sensitive, is it because of my increased hormones since I was pregnant?

Then how, how do I express all these unexpected surprises God???

I saw that my mother was looking at me so full of water that she shed tears.

"Just be good at this gift ma'am, avoid heavy work and excessive stress." Said the young doctor with a warm smile staring at me.

"Ta, but doc are there really two fetuses in my womb? How could? Me and my husband..."

"Son, aren't you grateful? This is the greatest gift of our lives. You have to thank God."

"Ma, forgive Fanny mother. Fanny just doesn't believe this, Fanny feels like it's all a dream."

The young doctor smiled shaking his head at my surprise. Then she took over the chatter and explained wisely also full of gentleness, how the twin pregnancies happened in my womb as well as how I had to go through the process after this.

Then the doctor again struggled with a pen and paper along with taking a picture of the results of my ultrasound content earlier.

"Mom, this is a prescription drug and vitamins please redeem at the pharmacy later. Congratulations again" said the doctor later.

"Okay doc, I'll pay more attention to my daughter." Mom answered representing me who was still stunned staring at the computer screen.

"Ehm, please excuse me. Where is the mother's son's husband? Um, because the role of a husband in this is very important."

I was surprised by this doctor's question.

"My husband is on duty out of town, Doctor." My reply quickly, mother glanced at me with a deep breath and shook her head.

"Oh.." Answer the doctor briefly. It was clear that his face was delaying what he wanted to say again.

After redeeming the prescription drugs in the pharmacy, I immediately entered the car followed by the mother who was still loyal carrying a rainbow. On the way home I was reluctant to make a sound first, my gaze only focused forward by driving.

Arriving home I went straight to the kitchen to sip a glass of water, Aunt Asri looked at me in wonder who repeatedly took a glass of water. Then I told Aunt Asri to make me orange juice and prepare me various kinds of pastries.

"Mama, does it still hurt?" Rainbow asked touching my stomach. I looked at him fixedly, he looked back at me innocently.

How would I say it if in a moment, he would have a younger brother... What if he could not accept this reality.

"Mama's fine, son, let's play first. Mama wants to do it." Answer me divert.

"Okkeh ma," said Rainbow as he peeked at my cheek. Then he ran towards the back garden accompanied by Asri's aunt. I looked like I was still standing looking at me without a word.

"Son, you want something?"

"No mother, I just... A bit of shock, I don't know since when they were present in my womb." Answer me with a smile while gently stroking my stomach.

"Mother is very happy with this news, Son, God is listening to your prayers. And you believe, behind all problems there will always be beautiful wisdom."

I still smile looking at my stomach while stroking it. I'm so happy God, you make me feel like I don't know what else to do... You make me want to dance and have fun.

"Then.." Asked my mother then, I turned her head with a frown.

"When are you gonna tell this happy news to Irgy's son?"

"Hmmm.. I don't know, Mom, I'm happy about this too. But, Irgy.. I don't know."

"Think carefully, son, you also have to realize this is all a destiny that God has written in his scenario."

I just kept silent trying to re-embrace what Mom said. I wanted to tell Irgy, but should I start talking? How am I going to start? Akh's.. I don't know.

IRGY POV

"Hello.."

"What, why didn't aunt prevent it?" Irgy answered, anxiously heard from the end of her phone.

"Sorry sir, I have forbidden it. But the madam said there was important business at her mother's house. So they left with the madam driving her own car, sir."

"Alright bi, let me call him."

Click !!!

Irgy turned off her call just like that from the assistant's aunt.

Then Irgy called Fanny repeatedly but did not get a response. Irgy began to panic, and she quickly called Fanny's mother to explain everything first.

"Hello, mom.. It's Irgy." It's Irgy." Irgy said after hearing the answer from her phone to Fanny's mother.

"Oh, yeah Irgy. What's up, kid, how are you?"

"Mom, Fanny..."

"What's wrong with Fanny? Wh why? Is she okay? You guys are okay, right?"

"Ehm, mum.. Mom, calm down first. Fanny's fine, it's just that we had a little misunderstanding that made Fanny so emotional and left home today."

"Oh my God, why did you let your wife just walk away from home? What if something happens to Fanny? Oh my God, what other problems are testing you until Fanny is so reckless to get out of the house?"

Then Irgy told me everything that happened about the problem of triggering Fanny to desperately go without her permission first. Until he was so desperate to drive himself to his mother's residence just accompanied by a small child the age of the Rainbow.

"Oh my God, may your wife be well on her way here. Forgive her childish attitude, you must be very worried about her right now."

"Mom, I'm not just worried mom. I was so afraid that Fanny would hate me and leave me forever and keep me away from my daughter. I beg you to keep Fanny by my side, ma'am, I'm sorry. I'm not a dick as a husband, I've lied to him."

"Mother understands son, let this matter mother will help calm your wife's heart first. I hope you will keep each other in the care of the integrity of your household. What's in the past, can you just brush it off?"

"I understand mom, I'm sorry."

"It's not for mom that you're apologizing, son, it's just that you've made a mistake. Don't you live and know your wife's character, not just now? From the beginning you know better and know it, no, the past is so bleak. It took him so long to get his heart back. Learn from this problem, never cover anything from your wife again. Since the wife is also the heart of the household, everything will be messed up if you hurt her even if it's just a little scratch. "

"Okay mom, I promise. I promise I won't do it again ma'am, then how about after this I deal with it mom? Fanny was disappointed in me."

"May I ask your permission, son?"

"What mom?" Irgy answered in a soft voice.

"Give her a minute to think quietly at home, I promise to help her ease her current emotions. Let him slowly realize this wrong attitude."

"Well ma'am, I love Fanny very much. Until then, I will still love him. And, I need 3 more days ma'am."

"3 days?" Ask the confused mother.

"I only need 3 more days to normalize the current condition of the company. Then after that I'll pick Fanny up at mom's, Irgy hope.. Fanny's not mad at me anymore and wants to go back to our house, ma'am."

"Trust me son, everything will be fine. Focus first on your work, do not forget to take care of your health. Don't get sick,"

"Thank you ma'am, um.. Please, don't tell Fanny I called mom first. I'm afraid she hates me even more, Mom,"

"Gosh, good. Don't think too far, son, I know you love each other."

Click !!!

Call ended.

Irgy threw her body on the sofa that was available in her room. His face looked up by closing his eyes, twitching his nose slowly. His breathing felt tight, tears started to flow from both of his eyes.

"Fanny, I know it's my fault. I'm a stupid man, I've been hurt and humiliated in the past just for being too bold to express my feelings to a woman I once loved. And I don't know, if my attitude is actually a boomerang for our household. I was wrong to never be honest with you, while you always trusted me with all your bad in the past. I am a useless and stupid husband. I love you baby,"
