Being Married to My First Love
Four Monthly

POVS. Fadhils

I felt there was a wedge in my heart with no clear reason Cindy canceled her sermon. Abah and I met Mr. Abu, Cindy's brother. He said that Cindy still wanted to cancel the sermon. This is for the good of me and my family. Mr. Abu did not understand what made Cindy suddenly change her mind after undergoing surgery. I feel like there's something weird about this having to do with Cindy's surgery. On the thing I don't mind.

When I returned home, ummi asked me to be patient and let Cindy go and start ta'aruf with the others. How could I have started so soon with another one. Ummi also seems strange, usually the most fussy ummi, but this time ummi easily accepted Cindy's cancellation without comment.

Day by day I busied myself by teaching at the pesantren and filled activities with the santri. But when I saw Umar, I remembered Cindy again.

It's been a week more post-surgery at home continues, making Cindy feel bored. Cindy asked for permission to ummi and Abi to go to work. After all the work is not heavy, he just needs to be on guard at the front office. Usually the task of serving doctors is done Mbak Sari and others. The reason Cindy is more proficient in bookkeeping, said mbak Sari.

With Abi on board this morning Cindy left for work. Arriving at the clinic friends greeted him enthusiastically. They are very familiar with Cindy's condition. Cindy gets a lot of help from her friends.

"Cin, let's have lunch with me!" said mbak Sari when it's a break.

"Yes, Mother. Come on!" said Cindy then walked slowly towards the pantry with mbak Sari.

"It's still sick, Cin, the surgery?" ask mbak Sari.

"Yes still, Ma'am. The important thing is not to use for lifting heavy objects, Ma'am," said Cindy.

They arrived at the pantry. Lunch is on the table.

"Well, is Cindy already at work? Is it healed, Mommy?" ask Mbak Minah ART Dimas.

"Alhamdulillah, it's quiet, Ma'am," said Cindy while putting rice and side dishes into her plate.

"Not so much, Mommy ate it?" ask Minah when looking into Cindy's plate.

"Yes, Mother. Musti keep the postoperative diet. Yesterday for two weeks at home in masakin the cork continues to be the same Ummi. Now must in many vegetable and fruit consumption, Ma'am. Hopefully no more recurrence of the cyst," said Cindy.

"Oh, I'm so horrified to hear your story about the cyst, Cin. I hope I'm not rich, Cin!" said Sari.

"Yes, Mother. Hopefully enough," Cindy said.

In the middle of eating suddenly Sari's phone rang.

"Yes, hello Tin, why?" sari said as she picked up her phone.

"Yes, I'll slide!" said Sari then disconnected her phone.

"Tina huh, Ma'am? What's up?" ask Cindy.

With haste sari sip tea that immediately ran aground in one sip.

"There's an accident victim in front, I'll help you in front first. You just eat!" titah Sari's.

"Is it really okay, Mommy?" ask Cindy.

"Yes, rather than you go there later even in order to be told the danger person ntar, the stitches you can get injured. You continue to eat, only two people also," said Sari.

"Yes, Ma'am. Hope all is well!" Cindy said.

Sari then ran towards the front of the clinic. Cindy continued eating.

"Minah please make milk for Qila!" tell his mother Dimas who just appeared from inside the house.

He then looked towards Cindy, "Lhoh, Cindy you've been in work?" tanya Bu Lilis

"Yes, Mom. Thank God it's better" Cindy replied.

While waiting for the milk made by Minah, Miss Lilis sat in the pantry in front of Cindy.

"This is for sharing. Mom used to have a cyst operation. Even the ovaries of the mother live one, because one must be lifted. Not dear at that time Mother felt down once because only one year married and did not have children, but had to be taken one ovary," said Bu Lilis.

"Subhanallah, it turns out to be worse than Cindy ya Bu," said Cindy surprised. He turned out to be more fortunate because both ovaries can still be saved.

"Alhamdulillah yes, ma'am. That means pregnant dr. Yes, Mum?" ask Cindy who is starting to be optimistic to hear the story from Bu Lilis.

"Yes, Dimas' pregnancy time. And my suffering didn't get there, Cindy. At the time of pregnancy I was also accompanied by a cyst measuring approximately 5cm. I have started to worry because of that, I routinely check my pregnancy to the doctor and monitor the cyst. By the power of God, as my pregnancy grew older, the cyst shrank. I am so grateful to finally be able to give offspring to my husband. With one ovary I have had two complete children. My husband and I are so grateful for that. So in essence I told it like this to share the experience. Don't worry about getting pregnant. Stay optimistic with the power of God," said Miss Lilis at length.

It makes Cindy excited and no need to be inferior again about her condition.

"Thank you very much, Mom. Thanks to Mom's story, I'm more optimistic about my future" Cindy said.

"Together, Cindy. Oh yeah, she said Cindy was getting married, when's the show?" bu Lilis's instantaneous question made Cindy come back sad.

"Emm, not yet, ma'am. Not yet a match with the famous like," said Cindy trying to smile although bitter considering the cancellation of her sermon.

"You who are patient, God must have prepared a better soul mate for you at the right time" said Ms. Lilis.

"Grandma, where's Qila's milk?" said Qila who just appeared from inside the house.

"Astaghfirullah, Grandma forgot because of the preoccupation with talking! Hhahaha....!" said Ms. Lilis with her laugh.

Reyna is now four months old. Yesterday Reyna and Rangga had checked the condition of Reyna's womb to his subscription obstetrician. And grateful that the fetus is healthy, his organs are complete, and his movements can begin to be felt by Reyna. It's just that for the gender is not yet clearly seen.

This afternoon Mami and Papi come from Solo. Reyna was so pleased with her arrival. Apparently Mami and Grandma are planning a four-monthly event for Reyna. Grandma wanted to do a home study by inviting orphans from several orphanages.

"Reyna, no problem with Papi's granddaughter?" ask Reza.

"No, Pi. Papi's grandson is very healthy, yesterday Rangga and Reyna have checked with a doctor. Thank God everything is normal!" Reyna.

"Reyna, in the future you don't get too tired of working, take gymnastics classes for pregnant women, good you know, Reyn made the preparation of the body. In the past when pregnant Chaca, Windy Males participated in gymnastics, so the baby was difficult to come out because of the tendency," said Mami who invited laughter.

"Yes, Mi. Calm down, later Rangga invited as often as possible for sports. The doctor said that his mother often sports the same Papa so it eases his birth canal right?" rangga replied with a candle.

"Yeay.that is what you want, diligent exercise that if you are already pregnant and approaching HPL, this is only four months, yes do not often in tengokin, still vulnerable content. Look out don't make Reyna tired!" said Mami mengultimatum Rangga.

"Hhhahaha...!" everyone is laughing too.

The next day the house was full of children present. Because the essence of the event is the do'a, so they do not invite other guests. Because I was worried that I would make a donation. Precisely grandmother wants this four-monthly event held also to provide compensation to children in orphanages. It just so happened that the grandmother was active as a donor at the orphanage.

After the recitation of the holy verses of the Qur'an and the do'a led by an ustadz, the event continued with a meal together. Everyone present is allowed to eat the dishes that have been prepared.

A large family gathers to give Reyna a do'a.

"Reyna, hopefully the content is healthy and smooth until the delivery later?" said Grandpa.

Reyna shed her tears remembering grandfather's kindness to her. He was able to be in the middle of this family thanks to the kindness of his grandparents, and also to the matchmaking of his grandfather he married his first love.

"Aamiin, thank you, Cake. Grandpa was very instrumental in Reyna's life. May grandfather be given health and longevity to watch Reyna's child born huh, Cake?" reyna said as she kissed Grandpa's hand.

Grandpa smiled as he stroked Reyna's head.

Then Reyna took turns asking do'a to her grandmother and in-laws.

Reyna was last confronted by her husband. Rangga stroked Reyna's stomach while gently kissing Reyna's forehead and then kissed her wife's stomach while saying do'a and hope for her future child.

"Honey, healthy in the stomach of Mama yes until the time comes you are born, hopefully later become a sholih sholihah child, a smart child, and can be the pride of Mama and Papa. Later you should be able to take care of Mama more than Papa, because you are the first child!" rangga said while hugging Reyna's stomach which began to look a little bloated and then hugged his wife tightly in his arms.

This is a very exciting moment for Reyna. He felt very lucky to get the love of all the family members.
