Diamond Luster
107. Diamond finally knows.
Her mother-in-law, the figure sitting quietly beside her was the one who always braced the diamond in the face of trials in her life. Since her pregnancy was known by her mother-in-law herself, she was the one who always paid attention to the nutritional intake for the fetus she was carrying. Mama Farida also who never forget to make special milk pregnant women for her. Diamonds also feel not alone to keep the content. There is a mother-in-law who happily welcomes the presence of her first grandchild.
"How, son?. Have you told your husband about your pregnancy?" ask mama Farida.
Diamonds shakes without a sound. Mama Farida breathed a heavy sigh. He was made concerned about the relationship of his son and daughter-in-law who was not as warm as before. If left alone can continue to have a bad impact on the pregnancy of Diamonds who are still very young and weak.
"Until when are you going to cover this all from the Stars, son?. The star has every right to know that you're carrying his flesh and blood"
"Lian's been trying to tell the stars, mama. But, the Star is completely insensitive" Diamond said.
Mama Farida held gently on her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
"Not only are stars insensitive, but you're also too afraid if the Stars reject the fetus you're carrying. Throw away your fears for the baby you are carrying. Don't let a star think nothing happens to you. Stars have changed a lot since they knew you. He who used to be so hard and rough can turn so soft because of you. Mama believes, if Bintang knows you are pregnant, a father's instinct will link his heart to a strong inner bond between father and child. You believe that. A star cannot waste its own flesh and blood. What's more his flesh blood is embedded in the womb of the woman he loves so much"
The diamond was filled, his heart a little relieved to hear his mother-in-law's advice.
...****************...
Finished nyekar to the tomb of the Moon , Bintang immediately went to the office. At least his heart was quite relieved after being content to spill his regrets and tears.
But Arya who was just about to come out saw the strange waves of her brother-in-law who had just come decided to find out what happened. Who knows if he can help.
The star did not want to be disturbed at first. However, there was no harm in him venting a little with arya. After all, Arya is her brother Diamond . Arya must have understood diamonds better than she did. Arya who heard the curses of her sister-in-law could only smile a little.
"Honestly Bin, I'm also confused why Diamonds are so sensitive like that?"
The star stared at the ceiling of his study without passion.
"why don't you try to take her on a honeymoon somewhere. Yep... You can spend time together and can talk from heart to heart without interference" said Arya provide a solution that makes the spirit star again.
"How can I get Lian to go alone, while my legal case is not clear when it will be" Star lost her spirit given her legal status. Arya's idea was brilliant.
"You take it easy, Kartika has promised to persuade her father to drop his claim today"
...****************...
Diamond tried to play his fingers back stringing word for word continuing the story of his novel that still hangs. But what will the power, brain and mind seized to think about the attitude of her husband and the child in his birth.
"Allah help me out of this. May the Star accept the presence of her flesh and blood" she asked expectantly.
The diamond forced its fingers and brain to work. But in vain, he looked tired and fell asleep without having time to close his laptop.
...****************...
The star came home early and told her passionately about her honeymoon plan to her biological mama while Diamond was still fast asleep. But Farida's mother's response did not match what Bintang expected.The real mama seemed disappointed with the decision she made.
"Cancel your intention to take Diamond on a honeymoon. What you are planning is not a good solution to improve your relationship with Lian. You've been blatantly saying you don't want to have children. What you plan this will only make Lian think that if you actually do not love her sincerely, which is in her mind, you will only use her for your pleasure only. After all your goal for the honeymoon is what if you yourself do not intend to create your own bloodline"
"What you say is not true, the stars sincerely love Diamonds" he argued forcefully.
"Then why are you so afraid of diamonds to get pregnant?" sambar mama Farida's. The stars could not answer.
"You've been married to Diamond for almost a year. Your relationship is becoming more harmonious and loving. Seeing how you indulge your wife, mama can tell how you treat her. You can't just kiss or hug your wife. There must be more to the relationship than that and it could have produced a seed in your wife's womb, unless you had a problem with your fertility. Are you doing that just to vent your desires?. What do you think your wife is?"
"If diamonds were pregnant, what would you do?. Are you going to dump the woman you said you loved so much because of your selfishness?"
"i can't possibly do that" he replied quickly following a whisper his heart said.
"What is impossible?" fierce mama Farida.
"If you do not quickly realize your mistake, Diamonds themselves will give up and choose to release you rather than survive with men who never want to think the womb is there to contain your flesh and blood. Diamonds harbored noble ideals as a woman. She wants to be a mother to your children."
The chest of the stars raged violently. His chest also felt tight and difficult to breathe imagine if Diamond really wanted to leave him because of his reluctance to have children. The burden of sin in him grew even greater considering that he who was insensitive felt the sacred intentions of his wife.
...****************...
Diamond vegetables capture the voice of her husband as well as her mother-in-law. The diamond got up and came out of the room. He became curious about what was discussed by the two people he loved.
"Aaaaaaa.." Just shut the door of the room, Diamond felt her stomach hurt so much. But in the end. And he walked back down the stairs.
"I've failed to be a good husband to Diamond. All this time I always thought that I gave my best to him. Turns out I was wrong. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm also ashamed of my mom, grandpa, grandma, arya. You understand Diamond better than me, her husband . I'm also ashamed of my late mother of diamonds. Ayu's mother sacrificed her life to save me as a child, but I did..."
"Mirror ...." The star and his mother were both surprised to see Diamond standing near the stairs.
The face of the stars was pale . His fear so far seemed to stay counting time, coupled with his attitude that has too often hurt his wife.
"So you and your mother know the cause of my mother's death and you keep quiet. Why don't you tell me the truth that mom died helping you?" diamond held back her tears.
"Lian, I can explain everything to you" Star tried to get closer and hugged his wife.
"What else do you want to explain?. All this time I've been telling you about my mother's death, you've always acted pretentious not knowing. You know for yourself. But why are you quiet?" the cry of Diamond became and sliced the heart of the star and his mother who joined in crying.
"Lian, your husband is not wrong. The wrong mom, son. Mama's been asking the Stars to keep all this from you"
"But why ma?. Why?" weeping Weak diamonds are powerless. The powerless star looked at him, forcing his arms around his wife's shaken body out in tears.
"Don't your mother's kindness all this time finance everything just to cover her guilt mama ?" Diamond concluded his own conjecture. Mama Farida just kept quiet and sobbed.
"And you..." Diamond pushed her husband's body with a pushy look. The burden of his mind was piling up and he could no longer bear it.
"You.." aaaaaaa... The diamond grimaced in pain while holding its stomach.
"Lian, what's wrong with you?" the star and his mother were worried.
"Aaaaakkk...." The diamond bit his lips and his face was pale bloodless.
The star quickly hugged his wife with an erratic feeling.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with you?" the tears of the Star fell unbearably seeing the state of his wife getting weaker.
"Bin, you quickly take your wife to the hospital"
Just now that Farida's mom had Bintang run his wife to the hospital, Berlian had already fainted in her husband's arms. The stars are panicking.
"LIAN.." call him full of anxiety.
