God's Choice of Mate
Heartburn

"The Promise will not be long" Rayyan said as she looked at Shafa who was tidying up his tie. After receiving a call from the dean, he immediately went home and prepared for the campus. Today there is a big meeting that will be held at the university rectorate. As one of the chairmen of the department at the campus, he was obliged to attend a meeting that discussed the problem of persecution that had just occurred on the campus which resulted in one of the lecturers suffering severe injuries and injuries.

"Yes, I'm not papa." Reply Shafa with a smile. I don't know why Rayyan prefers Shafa who likes to sulk and nag as usual than when he is calm like this. This made him worried and privileged in his heart to dismiss all the bad thoughts that suddenly flashed.

"Shafa wait for us to come home" Rayyan hugged his wife.

"Yes, yes, the breakfast hunt will be late" said Shafa, patting her husband on the shoulder

Rayyan leaned over to align her face with Shafa's stomach and rubbed it gently.

"Father's son, don't go out before you go home, son!" He then kissed Shafa's stomach.

Shafa enjoyed breakfast that morning with a hearty, uncharacteristic. He even added mother-made fried rice. Not forgetting to drink milk.

"The Zafranya does not want to go to school, how about Ray" said the mother who was feeding Zafran.

"Uti, I've said I want to take care of my mommy wait for my sister and Uti" replied Zafran as an adult.

"No papa ma'am, Shafa has told Aira's mom that Zafran permission first" Shafa replied.

"Mommy I want to go straight to school with dad, at Zaflan school every day just sing-singing as playful mommy" his sister to her mommy. Among his other friends, Zafran was indeed the most prominent. He can even read simple words and also simple addition and subtraction operations. In addition, memorization of short letters and words in English was the most among his other friends.

"If you want to go to school with your father, Zafran must finish paud first run out of it and Kindergarten" said Shafa.

"That's the one whose clothes are blu ya mommy. Which class has the ali manculus?" Tanyan.

"Yes dear"

After finishing breakfast Rayyan immediately headed to the campus even though his heart was not calm. Once he reached the campus he immediately contacted Shafa to ask his condition, and Shafa's answer was still the same, he had not felt anything.

The big meeting with the rector that day began at 08.00 am until 10.00. And continued with meetings at each faculty. Meetings at the faculty are led by the dean and followed by all academics consisting of the head of the department, the head of the study program and lecturers and staff.

Rayyan was already agitated and did not focus on following the meeting. His mind wandered thinking of his wife at home. One nod in Rayyan's arm kept her awake from her daydream. He turned to see Sonya's mom giving the code as if asking what was wrong. Rayyan simply shook her head and refocused on the meeting.

Meanwhile in the backyard, Shafa who was busy picking strawberries with Zafran suddenly felt heartburn on his stomach. He stopped his activities from relaxing himself on the long chair in that place. Soon the pain slowly began to disappear.

Ah, maybe another false contraction. Her muttering. He continued picking the fruit until the small container was full. And again the pain attacked again and he again sat himself on the bench.

"Zafran, come on in. Son. Made in the same juice Uti only yes. Mommy wants to rest" said Shafa as he led Zafran into the house.

"Where's the Fa from?"

"Take strawberry bu. Zafran asks for strawberry juice"

"Here let the mother do it. You just take a break" said the mother, taking the basin from Shafa's hands.

"Come here, Uti's grandson make the juice the same Uti huh? Later we make mommy equally adept" said the mother while holding Zafran to the kitchen, while Shafa chose to enter the room because he felt his stomach heartburn again.

"O Allah, is this what I want? But the pain is gone" he murmured while holding his waist. He recalled doctor Lily's remark that don't panic and rush. Suddenly he felt like defecating, Shafa immediately went into the bathroom to finish his wish.

"Huh... Relieved!!!" He said after coming out of the bathroom. His heartburn began to disappear. He who was about to call Rayyan so undo the intention.

"Patience son, wait for father to come home" he said while stroking his stomach.

"Fa..." I entered Shafa's room with a glass of strawberry juice.

"It doesn't feel well?" Ask the mother while offering a glass containing the juice.

"Not yet ma'am" Shafa received the glass and immediately drank it.

"If you have started to feel heartburn or pain tell mom yes. Shafa don't panic and be afraid, son" said the mother, rubbing Shafa's shoulder.

"When did you know Rayyan how?" Ask Shafa.

"Mommy used to care about Rayyan thank God quickly the process. Once taken to the hospital for not two hours, Rayyan was born.

What's 2 hours? Mom said it was fast?

"What are the tips, ma'am?" Ask Shafa.

"The tips, do not push if the midwife has not told to push because it can drain energy and also do not rush to the hospital. So the mother used to be so sick that she could not be held new to the hospital, I thought she wanted to be born in the car eh in fact right until the hospital was still opening 5" explained the mother.

Shafa was just struggling to hear the explanation of his mother-in-law.

"Yes, you continue to rest, I want to nemenin Zafran watch tivi outside"

"Yes ma'am"

After the departure of Shafa's mother again felt heartburn, this time stronger than before. But as much as possible he kept it. He took a deep breath, exhaling slowly. So next.

Why is the pain not telling me anyway? His grimacing seemed to endure the pain.

He went back into the bathroom, but this time there was nothing he could take out. The pain began to spread to the back. He checked his underwear maybe there was blood or liquid coming out but in fact everything was still dry. He chose to sit on the couch. Soon his phone rang again, a call from Rayyan.

"Assalamualaikum mas" Sapa Shafa.

"Waalaikum greetings, baby how are you doing? Is it okay? He's on his way home" he said.

"Yes, be careful at home, don't stay away from your mother" Rayyan said.

Oh my God this Ray, rich me again where.

"Yes mas, mas also carefully bring the car do not speed. Oh yes mas, I want to eat crab saos rich field at that time. Mas buyin ya" Pintanya.

"Yes, yes it is closed. Assalamualaikum"

"Greetings waalaikum"

After she finished calling Shafa decided to leave the room to join her and Zafran in the living room.

"Mom, are the supplies ready?" Shafa asked who was walking while holding his back waist in pain.

"Dear, here sit here" Mother led Shafa to Shofa in the living room.

"Mom, my waist feels cramped" said Shafa grimacing, because not only cramps but also the heartburn he felt.

"Kram?" Mom widened her eyes. Although he has experience, he is still struggling with the birth of his first grandchild. Shafa nodded.

"Shafa took a deep breath, then exhaled" Mother gave instructions that Shafa immediately followed.

"Rayyan have you called?"

"Mas Rayyan is on a mom's way. If on the phone again later it will not focus on driving" said Shafa.

Mom rubbed Shafa's back. She was sure Shafa was going to give birth.

"Where? It hurts more?" Ask the mother who saw Shafa close her eyes. Shafa just nodded enjoying the sensation of pain around his waist and stomach.

"Mommy... Mommy sick?" Zafran asked as he approached Shafa. Shafa smiled.

"Here elus-elus mommy's belly. Adek wants to be in elus with his brother" said Shafa pulled Zafran's hand and placed it on his stomach.

"She's naughty Jangn, kasian mommy" Whispers on Shafa's belly.

"Do you want to sell mommy?" Ask Zafran.

"Dear, my dear, I'm going out" said the mother as she rubbed Zafran's head.

After learning that Shafa began to feel cramps and heartburn, Mom immediately called Mommy Shafa who was still in the clinic to accompany Jeffri's healing period. Because his condition has not really improved.

"Where's ma'am?" Shafa asked after his mother finished calling.

"Everything is ready. Doctor Lily has also been informed by your daddy. He'll stay at the clinic. Shafa, don't be afraid, son. Shafa definitely can" Mother strengthened her daughter-in-law.

"Shhh.... Huuuuuhhhh" Shafa again sighed as he closed his eyes.

"Bie... Bi lastri"

"Yes buk" Bi Lastri came over to Mom.

"Please make warm milk for Shafa, after that take out the baby bags and supplies that we prepared last night in Zafran's room" said the mother. Bi Lastri immediately rushed to carry out what was ordered by the mother.
