Being Married to My First Love
Dreams of meeting
The wind that blows in the darkness of the night is scattered with stars in the sky. There are two lovebirds who are adrift in a taste. It is a feeling of longing, belonging, loving, and loving. Whether until when, we will never know the destiny that has been outlined by the Divine Robbi.
Reyna put her baby in a crib next to her bed. Baby Reynand is asleep after feeding. Reyna breathed a little relief after the afternoon, Reynand was very fussy. Unlike usual baby Reynand does not want to be taken down from his carrier. Every time he slept, before long he would wake up again as soon as he was laid on his small bed.
The bathroom door opened and revealed Rangga who had just completed her bathing ritual. After dressing slowly Rangga approached his wife who was sitting leaning on the bedrest. His legs were squashed and his hands gave a small massage on his shoulders. Seemed a tired streak on his wife's pretty face.
"Darling, Reynand's gonna be put to bed?" asked Rangga who joined to stretch himself beside his wife.
"Yes, By. It's a good thing Reynand didn't wake up after I put her in her baby box" Reyna said, slowing down her voice so she wouldn't be heard by her sleeping child.
"Yes, Honey. You must be tired all day to keep Reynand alone!" Rangga.
Reynand constantly cries if not given ASI by Reyna. So there's nothing Reyna can do but take care of her. Because each carried by the other the baby will come back crying and not want to calm down. And that day happened to Rangga had a meeting with a client until 20:00 was just finished and half an hour later just arrived home.
Reyna went sideways and poured into her husband's arms in search of warmth. Leaning on her husband's chest made Reyna feel calm and comfortable.
"Yes, By. It's weird all day, Reynand's fussy all the time. Reynand did not want to stop crying other than while breastfeeding. His body has no fever. Usually he will be fussy after undergoing immunization. And tomorrow's just his schedule for his immunization" Reyna said.
Rangga tightened his embrace with his wife.
"Sorry, I came home so late that I couldn't help looking after Reynand?" Rangga kissed Reyna's head while gently stroking her wife's hair that decomposed long to her back.
"It's okay, By. Just being able to lean on your shoulder makes me happy. As if I'm tired of being with you as I am now."
"Thank you for being a good wife and mother to our children. Although I can't always be by your side but my love for you will never fade."
"Darling, you are my first and last love. Keep smiling and be a tough mom to Reynand. Promise you'll always be happy" Rangga loosened his embrace and covered both of his wife's cheeks with both palms in front of him.
"Reyna Hanania, I love you so much always!" rangga said that made Reyna's eyes glazed over.
"I also love you so much, Rangga Putra Sanjaya."
Rangga briefly kissed his wife's lips and then grabbed her in his arms.
"By, I feel your love this time is sad" said Reyna.
"Really, maybe because you're tired, baby," Rangga broke his arms, "Try lying down let me massage your body!" rangga's word to his wife.
"No need, By. I know you must be tired after a meeting with a client until night. We'd better get some sleep" Reyna suggested.
"No, I'm not tired. Come on lie down quickly. I will give you a delicious massage that you will never forget!" joked Rangga to his wife.
"Ishh, alright I'll lie down. Try me to assess the wisdom of what my husband's massage is, "Reyna turned her head on the pillow and relaxed her body.
Rangga began massaging his outstretched wife's hands slowly. Then switch to Reyna's shoulder, and lastly her leg. He had not had time to finish his massage on his wife's body, but Reyna was already asleep in his sleep. Rangga finally finished his activities.
His son was still sleeping soundly in his bed. Rangga also lies down beside his wife.
A few minutes later he fell asleep and felt someone say his name.
"The ladder...! Le, let's go back to Sewage lungo ning kono. Simbah will ndududahno grill sing slick your members dolanan," said an old grandfather with a blangkon on his head, who spoke Javanese.
(Ladders...! Le, let's go with Simbah go there. Sewage will show you a good place where you play.)
The grandfather wore a typical Javanese shirt top dress with a floral motif, and there are buttons on the neck of the chest and abdomen with different amounts. And a circular knuckle covering his lower body from the waist to above the ankles. This type of clothing is usually worn by noble men or courtiers. The ancient Javanese called it Surjan Ontrokusumo.
"Oeek.., oh...!" baby Reynand's cries filled their room room after asking to be carried immediately.
Rangga immediately sat up from his sleep. Glancing to the side, his wife was still soundly sleeping. Rangga then got up around his bed and reached out to baby Reynand to carry him into his carrier.
Slowly the cry of the little one stopped, when he realized that he was already in the arms of the papa.
"What's Papa's son? Are you thirsty?" rangga asked the puffed up baby in front of him.
Rangga took Reynand to his bed and sat down while holding his son.
Baby Reynand blabbed, her hands and feet twitching above as if to grab her papa face.
Seeing Reynand had calmed down Rangga also laid his son in front of him. Seeing that Reynand's diaper is full. Rangga also changed his diaper. The baby was not at all fussy when Rangga handled it. Precisely now the baby chattering ria when Rangga invited her to talk as if she was being asked to joke.
"Son, let your babble go. Otherwise you'll wake your mother up, baby!" rangga said to his son.
But the baby is even harder. As if responding to his father's words.
Hearing the babbling of the child and the voice of Rangga, Reyna slowly opened her eyes. She immediately got up when she realized her husband and son were awake.
"By, Reynand woke up? Why didn't you wake me?" reyna asked as she rubbed her eyes.
"Yes. He's not fussy about just changing his diaper. I already replaced it. Look even Reynand is so happy babbling in the middle of the night!" Rangga.
"I'm sorry, my sleep is so good. Not hearing Reynand's cry."
"Thank you, yeah By. It's been taking care of Reynand while I'm sleeping" Reyna told her husband.
"No problem, honey. You need to rest too. Now feed him back to sleep!" rangga.
"So soon, I'm gonna go to the toilet first, and then I'm gonna go after her, By!" Reyna went to the toilet in her room.
Not long after Reyna came back and breastfed her child. After full feeding Baby Reynand who has returned to sleep in bed.
Reyna and Rangga went back to sleep. However, in his heart Rangga wondered about his dream earlier.
Who is that old man. And what does that mean?
"What's up, By. Is there something you're thinking?" reyna asked when she realized Rangga did not also close his eyes and instead daydreamed.
"It's okay, honey. I was just thinking about my dream. I dreamed of meeting an old man in Javanese clothes. And I in the dream was a little boy who was more or less buried 6 years. He asked me to go somewhere to play. I haven't seen the place we've been to I've been woken up by Reynand's cry."
Reyna frowned when she heard the story from Rangga. I don't know what the dream means, but Reyna's feelings become restless.
"Is that your great-grandfather, By?" ask Reyna.
"Okay, maybe. Grandma once told me if my great-grandfather used to be, still a descendant of blue blood from the court of Surakarta kasunanan," said Rangga, "Have come back to sleep!"
Rangga held Reyna in his arms. Not long after they both fell asleep.
