Best Teacher And Me
Becoming a Parent

New living sheets are back in the open. Kila and Irsyad lived the household lovingly after both being wives and husbands. The days were happier, and they were also happier.

Their homes are becoming more harmonious. Half a year has passed. Kila felt her monthly guests were arriving late once from the usual month. Fear again looms over Kila if she is pregnant.

He just can not lie his true nature that likes to be affected by the circumstances around and easily depressed. Now she is worried that she will not be a good mother to her child. Given, Kila's childish nature, and likes to erratically recur.

Kila saw two red lines in the test. She was in shock because she was really pregnant right now. He went to the doctor to check on his health. Then questioned what he would do while pregnant in his condition is busy building a new business with the mother. He became worried that he would not be able to keep his prospective baby if hit by the peak of busyness like today.

Kila did not immediately tell Irsyad the news of this pregnancy. Intention would tell him when Irsyad came home from teaching.

"Pregnant? Sorry I couldn't get you to see a doctor." Surprise is inevitable. Irsyad was happy to hear the news, but not with Kila. He was curious to see the face of his moody wife.

"So, how?" ask Irsyad carefully.

"If you don't have confidence, Mom" replied Kila.

"Kila was so scared. In fact, Kila wanted to quickly give grandchildren to our parents." Kila was enveloped in guilt.

"What are you afraid of?"

"If you are afraid of this kind of attitude, this child will not be happy later. Moreover, now Kila was also busy with business matters. What if this child is born less feeling the affection of his parents who are busy with work?" Kila looks scared. Irsyad immediately clasped his wife's hand to calm down a little.

"You don't want this kid going through the same thing you're going through, do you?" Kila nodded in confirming.

"I'm afraid, Mom. My mother is the grandmother of this child. Just like Kila, who at that time had a grandmother who was Mama's mother. What if the fate of this child is the same as Kila? I am afraid I cannot give happiness. I'm afraid this kid won't feel affection." Very funny thought Kila. He positioned the unbalanced condition of his family with the family of the prospective baby.

"Or later..., what if he says he doesn't want to be born?" Apparently holding Kila's hand was not enough to calm Kila's fear.

"Sttt.., relax, honey. Try to breathe first." Irsyad rubbed Kila's back, then clasped her hand again.

"Why should you be afraid, baby? I'm so glad you're pregnant, and we're gonna be parents."

"All parents will experience a phase like you think. However, that was already a natural thing. Don'worry. After all, you are not alone, I will be there for you as his father. Not only mama who will be her grandmother, you forget that there is a Father and Mother? So, don't worry about this kid's fate later."

That gentle explanation of Irsyad slowly calmed Kila down. He began to think clearly, his fear eliminating already. Irsyad's explanation is very easy to understand because from the beginning his profession demanded it.

"Yes, Kila. You're not alone. This best teacher teaches you a lot. This best teacher will be the best teacher and parent for the child you will give birth to. So, there's nothing for you to worry about. Believe yourself!" The angel was kind in heart as if whispering Kila.

"Don't worry that you'll be a bad parent because of your attitude. You see me? I also like to get carried away by emotions and tend to have bad temper. The existence of new individuals who are our responsibility will later make our mindset wider. We will reduce the bad nature attached to ourselves, it will naturally occur because given there is our child who will see the nature of his parents," continued Irsyad.

"I would be very happy if you and the baby were healthy. Then, give birth safely" Irsyad concluded. He rubbed his wife's hair and kissed her forehead solemnly.

Kila was not alone, there was Irsyad beside her. Irsyad lived the mandate of the grandmother to always be beside Kila and listen to the story. Losing a grandmother does not mean losing the same figure as a grandmother. Irsyad proves it with all the goodness shown to Kila even though during the household they often misunderstand. Irsyad always does its best to restore the state of his household.

Kila also felt very lucky Irsyad was present in his life. A figure who had saved his life many times directly and indirectly. Kila himself would also say that he could not live without Irsyad if he dared to say so.

The first trimester has passed. Today the couple did the USG and wanted to see the gender of the baby. Already in the fourth month, every time they go to the doctor, the baby shyly shows his identity. They hope the baby is not shy about greeting.

"God willing, baby conceived by women." Irsyad reminded Kila of what the doctor said.

Hearing the doctor's statement, they were happy that the baby was healthy. Normal labor will be easier if Kila wants to exercise. All this time, he never played sports. It was probably her biggest challenge before becoming a mother.

"You want to buy baby girl gear, baby?" haggard Irsyad. They should prepare the needs of the prospective baby from now on.

They were lucky because Irsyad's parents were very impatient to wait for the birth of the grandson. They are willingly ready to help prepare for the needs of the first grandchild. So, even though Kila and Irsyad were still working, there were still those who lightened the burden.

"Do we need a bigger house? Later, we make our own room for brother and sister." Irsyad spoke with the origin. Made Kila wrinkle her forehead.

"Si brother? The baby is not yet born, when you asked me to give sister to him, anyway, Mas. There's-there's, "kila protest.

"I'm sure my sister would be lonely alone. We should have more than one, dong, honey."

"Look at God for what it is, Mom."
