Being Married to My First Love
Season2. The Instinct of a Mother
That afternoon there was a cloud covering Reyna's heart. The shadow of the child who thrashed while shouting his name, and wanted to be taken down from the sling of his speech that forced him into the house, making Reyna continue to imagine the sound of the child's screams, the one that stirs in his head.
His heart was broken, remembering how the child who always wanted to stick to him, as if saying if the child missed him very much. His instinct as a mother immediately rose and wanted to hold the child tightly, to pour out his affection, to replace his days that had passed.
"Darling, do you want to eat something?" asked Abiyu who looked at Reyna who looked glum, while sitting curled up on the sofa of her room.
Reyna just shook her head in response to a question from her husband, ease back into silence while staring at the empty space in front of her. In her mind Reyna thought of the days she had to go through without the child.
Abiyu who felt sorry for his wife who looked very sad to be confused about what to do, so that his wife did not continue to dissolve in sadness.
"Darling ..," called Abiyu while holding his wife in his arms.
It makes Reyna want to spill her sadness in Abiyu's arms. Reyna brushed the front of her husband's shirt and her tears broke.
"Reynand, Brother .. I want to meet you, Reynand now!" said Reyna on the sidelines sobbing her tears.
Abiyu rubbed his wife's back to calm down.
"Yes, Honey. Be patient, yes, I will find a way to bring Reynand to live with us" Abiyu said, thinking about how to persuade Lena.
"How, Brother. Mami won't hand Reynand over to me, sister. I'm her mother, I gave birth to her, even though I'm sick right now, but Reynand is still my son, I'm sure I'll recover and remember Reynand coming back as time goes on, brother!" said Reyna expressed her frustration to her mother-in-law.
"I'll think about it first, Reyn you calm down first, huh?" abiyu Lirih said trying to persuade his wife to calm down.
"Didn't you like me before, sister? How was my relationship with my previous mother until my mother could separate me from Reynand. Mommy is also a mother, she should feel compassion for me and support me so that I recover soon as time goes by with gathering with my family."
"If this is the case, how can I be at peace living far away from my son, brother? The bond between me and Reynand is quite strong, brother. After I looked at it and grabbed it, I felt like I was getting back something I had lost. I felt a sense of comfort being around him, and I loved him. I'm not willing to leave Reynand there! I don't want to part with my son, brother!" reyna exclaimed and deepened in sorrow.
"Reyna, relax, Reyn! Hear me! I promise I'll take Reynand home with us, okay? Do you believe me?" abiyu asked as he cupped his wife's cheeks and looked closely at the wife.
Reyna fell silent and stopped crying.
"Really, Sis?" reyna asked, looking at her husband.
"Yes, Reyn. I'll try to talk to Reza to help us. Om Reza can definitely persuade Aunt Lena to give Reynand back to us" Abiyu revealed her plan to ask Reza for help in persuading her.
"Om Reza's? Rangga's Papa?" tanya Reyna tried to remember the name mentioned by her husband.
"Yes, Honey. Om Reza must be on our side. That's why you're patient, huh?" abiyu said as he wiped away the tears that had run down the river soaked his wife's cheeks.
Reyna nodded while shrinking her snot.
"Remember Reyn, in here is our child who also needs our attention. Do you remember what the doctor said? This fetus will feel the sadness of his mother, if his mother is sad. Then you must be happy so that our child also grows happily in here!" abiyu said as he held the wife's stomach, then gently rubbed his wife's stomach.
Reyna looked at Abiyu while looking at her husband. "Thank you for reminding me of that, brother! Forgive me for not being able to control my emotions, to neglect the state of our child ...," said Reyna feeling guilty, that there is currently a life growing in her womb that she must also take care of.
Reyna rested her head on her husband's chest, seeking comfort. Reyna felt that Abiyu could always understand her circumstances.
"Yes, Honey!" abiyu then wrapped his arms around the wife's body and gave a kiss on the top of her head with great affection.
"Sir ..," called Reyna to her husband while confirming her sitting position after a moment of silence.
"Yes, Reyn?" abiyu asked as she unraveled her embrace and looked towards the wife.
"Emm ... crying makes me hungry ...," said Reyna curiously.
Abiyu smiled, looking at his wife who looked timidly saying so. "Yes, Honey. What do you want to eat? Rice, fruit or cake?" abiyu asked attentively.
"As yesterday? I asked Fely first, who knows there are still supplies at the restaurant," Abiyu said then took the phone on the table.
Abiyu dialed Fely's name from his phone screen and made a connection to his sister. Within a few seconds the phone was connected.
"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum, Brother!" fely said across the phone.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Fely. You're at the restaurant, right?" abiyu asked to confirm the whereabouts of his sister.
"Yes, Brother. It's in the same office, mother" replied Fely.
"You still have a rich dessert box stock that's famous, aren't you?" ask Abiyu.
"There's still ... Why, brother?"
"Reyna wants to eat it, you ask the delivery to send it home, yes!" abiyu's orders to his sister.
"Okey, Brother. Sister ... This is your mother to connect!" fely said to Abiyu.
A moment of silence.
"Bi, have you guys gone home yet?" ask mother.
"Yes, Bun. We just got to about fifteen minutes ago" Abiyu said.
"Is Reynand home too?" ask mom happily there will be a crowd of a small child in her house.
"No, Bun ...," Abiyu paused his words and stood up to get out of the room away from Reyna so that his wife would not listen to him.
"Cock, no! Why?" From the tone of her voice she looked surprised and curious.
"Tante Lena won't let us take Reynand, Bun," Abiyu said.
"Mom Lena forbid Reynand to stay with her mother? Why is that, Bi?" Mother seemed to exhale her rough breath. "If it was before Reyna went missing she forbade Reynand to stay with you, because you were not her real father, Mother understood. But why else would Miss Lena not let Reynand live with her own mother?" said mother with a annoyed tone.
"Tante Lena feels Reyna will not be able to care for Reynand with her current state of illness, Bun. Especially Aunt Lena who is concerned about Reyna's pregnancy which is too close to the age of Reynand who is still a toddler. Aunt Lena is also worried if there will be anyone who intends to harm Reyna back and impact Reynand," said Abiyu told the reason that made Lena reluctant to give Reynand to them.
"Astaghfirullah, but Miss Lena's anxiety is too much. We don't know what dangers are going to threaten us in the future. Everything that happened was God's destiny, why was Lena so selfish and had the heart to separate a child from her real mother!" said mother with overflowing emotions.
"Yes, Bun. Even Reyna from then on looked gloomy and sad because she remembered Reynand who cried when separated from her mother," said Abiyu recounted the condition of his wife.
"Go ahead, that Lena ma'am! It's so bad Reyna, Bi. Does Mommy need to come to Lena's house to persuade her to give Reynand to Reyna?"
"No need, Bun. Later Abi will try to ask for help to om Reza to persuade aunt Lena, to want to give Reynand to us," said Abiyu.
"Yes, you will try to go home early so you can accompany Reyna while you meet Mr. Reza."
"Good, Bun. Abi tried to call Reza first to make an appointment to meet," Abiyu said.
"alright. Good luck, Bi. Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam, Bun!" Phone turned off.
Abiyu immediately contacted Reza to make an appointment to meet later tonight.
