Because I'M Father
Me and You

"Dear, hoek!" I heard the sound of people throwing up, and in this house it was just me and my wife.

"Darling you're okay?" I'm from outside the bathroom of this apartment.

"Yes, I'm fine!" the answer was half screaming.

"Hurry out! I'm worried about you!" I was still in front of the bathroom door.

The door was opened, featuring a beautiful woman with long hair. However, I saw he was not okay, his face was pale.

"Aruna, are you sick? Since yesterday you've been wanting to vomit, haven't you been to the doctor?" my thoughts on Aruna Aarushi. I was so worried to see her.

"No, I went to the doctor yesterday" replied the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Then, what are you doing? Windin? Anemic? Or what?" my question made him smile.

He hugged me suddenly, tightened his arms and leaned his chin on my shoulder, even I could smell the shampoo he was wearing.

"You why, um? Don't scare me, or I'll wet the bed now?" my threat made him chuckle and pinch my stomach even though he still hugged me.

"Don't be surprised to hear this, huh? I beg you," he said so quietly and gently in my ear.

"What's really going on? What are you sick with? The cancer? A stroke? The diabetes? Or some other deadly disease, huh? I peed in my pants out of fear!" I cried so panicked and Aruna could still laugh?

I'll be bedwetting in a moment.

"promise?" he said it was so demanding, while I was no longer care.

"Well, I promise," I replied definitely, though not sure if he would say that he would soon die in a few months, from cancer, diabetes or any other deadly disease.

I really am not ready.

"I'm pregnant."

"WHAT?"

"Ish, I told you not to be surprised, you can surprise the baby in my stomach!" her scolding pinched my stomach.

I let go of his embrace, I stared at him clinging to his two shoulders.

"really? You pregnant?" I asked to confirm my hearing and she nodded with a smile on her pretty face.

"Pregnant of our child? Oh, my God, why did you just say?! Kyaaa, I'm Papa!" I screamed and Aruna just laughed at me.

I looked at him back. "Thank you, Aruna, you're the best" I kissed her lips at a glance.

"I beg .. keep the baby in your belly, and from today on, I won't go home tonight for you" I said and Aruna just nodded.

"You happy?" aruna asked senselessly.

"Do I need to shout again by rolling over to show my happiness?" I teased Aruna, and she shook her head by hitting me slowly.

"There's something I haven't told you yet" he said, leaving me speechless and scared. I started to get nervous seeing his face.

"I've been five weeks pregnant" she said, and I was so relieved.

"That's great Aruna, I'm glad you're pregnant. I can't imagine being Papa, I feel like I want to cry" I said, wiping away the tears that didn't fall.

"You're happy, huh? But I'm not done telling you. Maybe this will make your life a bit difficult, and should be more efficient," said Aruna a little restless.

"Of course we have to save from now on, for the future of our child," I said stroking his flat stomach.

"Alden ..," I saw Aruna, she squeezed her white dress, biting her lower lip, looking confused and agitated.

"Our son ...," Aruna hung up again he said.

"Tell me, whatever it is .. I know it won't be bad" I assured my wife.

Aruna was still doubtful. "Our son is triplets" he said, freezing me.

My brain is not running, where is my mind? Why it feels like I can't think.

Waitaminute! The twins? A three? Alden you didn't hear me wrong.

"really? We're gonna have three kids at once? Well, it's a gift baby, I'm so happy." I hugged him tightly.

"Are you angry or objected?" aruna asked senselessly.

"We might be bothered with three kids, but I've never been this happy, really!"

"Thank you, Alden. You're the best" he said, hugging.

"I will work harder for the future of all of you, I can't wait anymore" I said happily.

"The doctor says I'm healthy, and-Kyaa!" aruna yelled as I carried her and let her sit on my lap.

"You surprised me, Al!" aruna protest pinched my nose.

"What's in the stomach shocked too?" tanyaku and the girl who was pregnant with my son nodded spoiled.

"really? Do I need elus, um?" I stroked Aruna's flat belly gently, and the girl just laughed amusedly.

"Don't worry about me, because I'll be good even if it's not next to you" said Aruna.

I looked at my lap, wasn't Aruna in my lap? Why is he standing in a long white shirt in front of me?

"Aruna why are you there? Wasn't that ...," I asked confused because he was in my lap.

"Take care of our son, I'm counting on you. I'm sorry I can't take care of them with you, and live well, dear." Aruna smiled at me, she was so radiant.

"Where are you going Aruna? Why are you leaving?" I ask who somehow my body stiff can not move.

"I love you, I live beside you. I live with you, I am the blood of Nio, Zio and Vio. I am them, I live in their souls. Live well, baby, I love you."

"Don't go I beg you! Aruna!"

"ALDEN'S AWAKE!"

My eyes were wide open, so much sweat that I felt wet in my body. With a sigh I looked at the woman in front of me, she looked at me with anger.

"I'm where? Where is Aruna?" I asked Shelin.

"What, Aruna? You're going crazy? Realize where you are. You and him are different nature!" shelin who never spoke softly like a woman.

I looked at my body, so it was just a dream? Or my memory that spins during sleep? Why is it so real, why is it that 'he' I never mentioned is around me? Aruna Aarushi, she is my wife—a woman who would die for my three children. The woman who was willing to carry my three children despite the weight, the woman who allowed my child to grow in her stomach.

His name is Aruna Aarashi, Aruna is the sun, Aarashi is the first ray. He was the first ray of the sun.

Why was it so real? And why did Aruna leave?

"I love you, I live beside you. I live with you, I am the blood of Nio, Zio and Vio. I am them, I live in their souls, live well, I love you." As Aruna said.

Why does Aruna talk like that? I always felt like he was living around me, and maybe it was, he was living in the souls of my little monsters.

"Hey! Not conscious either? What the hell happened to you? Why were you such a possessed man?" tanya Shelin astonished.

"Why can I be here?" ask me without answering the question.

"You forgot? Last night you came in a drenched state and a high fever, even I did not sleep all night just to change your compress," replied Shelin with annoyance.

"Hoam, now I'm so sleepy. Just troubling me normally," muttered Shelin who I could still hear well.

I went back around what had happened, all I remember was— Alisya kissed me yesterday, after which I left her, and was rained on. Then went to the house of Shelin to pick up my three monsters, but I can't remember anymore.

"Where's my son?" I began to realize.

"They were playing with Mom. They were fussy last night and you got sick, I thought you were gonna die last night. Your fever is so high, I don't even know–"

I kissed Shelin's cheeks at a glance. "Thank you, sister," I said, then ran away from Shelin screaming in protest. I just didn't want to hear his long talk, which I'm obviously very grateful to him for. She was very kind, and always worried about my life, when I knew what she was going through was not easy, especially when it was time to get married.

"Nio, Zio, Vio!" seruku.

"Father!" yell at them and hug me.

"You're cured? Doesn't hurt?" asked Nio and I nodded for sure.

"Yey, we can belmain belsama Papa!" vio was so happy.

I could feel that Aruna was all around me. I know he's always near me, because the little monster is Aruna. I know that's what Aruna means, if she asks me to live happily—know I've been happy, and I've lived well, so have the three Io, Io, they grow very well even without Aruna's touch.

But if the meaning of living well the omens allow me to live with a new girl, or even a girl who yesterday resembled him—either by nature or whatever, I am still not ready. I still want to be with the monsters, and watch them grow up.

Aruna, look at—I've lived well, and stay with us, I miss you.

"Father! Papa! Papa!" whinek Zio was hanging on my leg. I knew he'd ask for something like this.

As soon as they saw their brother whining, Brother and sister followed. Grabbing my hand to crawl into my body like Tarzan.

"I know you want milk. Stop caving in like a sledgehammer!"

Such were they, who had pink cheeks, red lips like strawberries, white skin like chalk, smooth straight hair typical of babies, such was the sweetness of monsters. Even though they're messengers, you know, they're still my sweet baby. Only their bedwetters smell and sting their noses.

The rest is A+ value to me.
