Eps 214 - Pillow Talk
Gabriel deliberately did not sleep until the baby fell asleep, he continued to watch the movements of the wife who breastfed his son.
"It's late, Bang. Sleep" said Firda.
"Later, after getting rations" Gabriel said, and it's been since Angeline was at their house and Michael slept with Angeline. Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief even so grateful for that ridiculous thing.
"What the hell, Bang. Not 40 days yet" Firda said again.
"Menu just open it is okay, like the night before him" said Gabriel "Sorry yes Jibril is not fussy like Micheal, his sleep is also good and even though we make out in front of him, he said, he does not ask a lot and makes us dizzy" said Gabriel, which of course makes Firda laugh.
"Well, Michael's grown up. While Jibril was a baby, there was nothing but crying" Firda replied.
"I'm confused too, honey. Why is Jibril what is crying, want to cry, thirsty cry, wake up crying, want to sleep cry. Why is he not just silent that way, we also check his diaper if he has farted, continue you breastfeed him also with regular. If you are sleepy, close your eyes, why should you cry? When you wake up, you open your eyes, why cry again?" hearing Gabriel's consecutive question Firda instantly fell silent with her mouth slightly open.
Not because of what, but because Firda remembered he had asked his Ummi that question when they visited their newborn neighbor. At that time Firda was probably around 9 years old and Firda remembered, at that time his Ummi said crying was baby language.
"Darling, how is it quiet?" ask Gabriel.
"It's probably because the baby can't talk, Bang. Crying is already her language, she cries during the pup maybe because she feels uncomfortable and as her" Firda replied doubtfully "Lagian why can you ask so anyway, Bang Gabriel? Already know what the baby can't but cry" said Firda again, when in fact he asked himself why he could ask the silly question to Ummi?
"Yes I'm curious" Gabriel replied calmly which made Firda snort. Firda covers her baby and kisses her forehead, then Firda recites prayers before going to bed, including the last three suras and does not forget complete with the verse of her chair to represent the child. Firda taught his Ummi to keep praying representing the baby before and after meals also before and when waking up in the morning.
"Have you slept, right?" gabriel asked as he peeked at the little face of his son "Sleep well, son. Daddy is the same Mommy wants to spend time together first, but there is time" said Gabriel who made Firda chuckle.
"I brush my teeth first, Bang" said Firda and he rushed to the bathroom, Gabriel followed Firda even though he had brushed his teeth.
Gabriel immediately hugged Firda from behind no matter Firda who told her to wait in the bed "Kangen.." said Gabriel while kissing Firda's neck affectionately.
"Every day we're together, Bang" Firda said as she poured toothpaste into her toothbrush.
"Yes, but every day you're busy with Jibril, with Micheal. Since marriage we have never spent time alone making out" said Gabriel.
"Yes how to make out, Bang. Just a day I was in with you there was an attack on the car, not to mention the right to go home from the party, not to mention I was tense when I found out Gio was the enemy in the blanket, not to mention the enemy in the blanket, plus my father-in-law threatened me if I didn't leave you. In addition to the attack of another attack" Firda said before he began brushing his teeth, Gabriel still faithfully wrapped his burly arms around his wife.
"Our lives are exciting yes" said Gabriel then who made Firda laugh "Always spur adrenaline"
"Yes, full of struggle. But now...." Firda turned around and put her arms around her husband's neck "In Shaa Alalh everything will be fine now, we can live quietly here" her softness and she tiptoed to kiss the corner of the lips of the suaku.
Gabriel lowered his hand until now on both thighs of the wife and Gabriel immediately raised his beloved wife in his sling. Firda wrapped her legs around her husband's waist and Gabriel took Firda to the bed.
Gabriel threw Firda down and she fell down beside him, Gabriel and Firda used a pillow and their hands were tied together.
"Honey.." said Gabriel and Firda replied with a mutter "I like it when we have many children, our family must be perfect"
"I also thought so, Bang" replied Gabriel "Hopefully God will grant us another child"
"I want that too, but..."
"But what?"
"I can't bear to see you nauseous nausea when pregnant young, continue to fit your womb is already large, you even like difficulty in activity, you even like difficulty in activity, sleep is also always awakened because it cannot find a comfortable position. Not to mention later when giving birth, well, it's really terrible. Not to mention breastfeeding again like this, not being able to sleep well every night"
"Haha, her name is also the struggle of a Mother, Bang. That's normal, but what I'm afraid of isn't that, Bang"
"Keep what?"
"I fear that I cannot be a good mother to our child, I fear not being able to educate her to be a righteous child, obedient to God because the child is a trust from God, Bang. And in addition, the child is also a great slander in life" said Firda while playing Gabriel's fingers are linked with his hands. Gabriel was speechless listening to Firda's words, as his and Firda's thoughts turned out to be much different. Gabriel is afraid of worldly things and is certainly only temporary, while Firda is behind him.
"Honey, you're weird" Gabriel said later
"What's so weird, Bang?" ask Firda lirih
"That which you fear is invisible to the eye. You are afraid of sinning with God, you are afraid you cannot keep His trust. You are also afraid away from Him, even when we talk about the child, you are not afraid he is not successful or what, you are afraid he is not obedient to God. I mean, it's business later, when it's grown up"
"Because Allah says 'And I did not create jinn and men except to worship me'. We live only to worship God. And also, Bang. Why do I fear God and not worldly things, for we shall return to God, that is to go back to the afterlife where we will live eternally and everything we do in this world will be responsible including in parenting. While this world is only temporary, when we die, it is all done. No one is taken to death except charity. So, as we live, we must make sure that what we do and our children do is good charity, so that what we bring home is good" clearly Firda and Gabriel listened in silence, trying to digest what the little wife had described.
"Well, just shut up" said Firda "I'm sorry, Bang. Not that I mean wise, but that's what my family taught me and my school" Firda said, which left Gabriel chuckling.
"Then you should teach our children the same"
