I Found Love With You
138. Thanksgiving

Hoover.hoek…

Kagendra was vomiting in the morning. After breakfast, he felt nauseous and immediately ran to the bathroom near the kitchen and then took out all the food in his stomach until he felt the new acidic liquid he stopped vomiting. Sadiyah approached while patting her back.

“Aargh...” Kagendra sat down after vomiting, his body feeling weak.

Sadiyah brought warm sweet tea and gave it to Kagendra.

“No. Don't like the aroma of tea.” Kagendra refused the warm sweet tea offered Sadiyah. Kagendra can't stand to sniff out almost any kind of food and drink. He can only drink water and fruit.

“Aa want to drink what?”

“Warm white water only.”

“All food spewed. Aa must be hungry and limp. Want to eat again?”

Kagendra.

“Then do not eat anything? Aa is sick. Eat, yes,” persuade Sadiyah.

“No. Later nausea again, vomiting again.”

“Must be forced to eat, A.”

“Fruits only.”

“What fruit do you eat? Don't tell me you want to eat young mango.”

“Melon only. Ada, right?”

“There. I'll let go first.”

Sadiyah rushed to fetch the melon in the refrigerator and peeled the melon with small pieces.

“Aa so to Thailand?” ask Sadiyah. Last night Kagendra said that he was going to Thailand for a business trip.

“So.”

“If it hurts don't force.”

“It's okay. I will feel better when it is noon. It used to be like this, morning vomiting and not want to eat anything but lunch can eat a lot,” said Kagendra.

“Means when Iyah was pregnant, Aa was suffering, huh?” asked Sadiyah while giggling.

“Yes, at least you did not feel the pain of morning sickness even without Aa on your side. It slightly lessens Aa.”'s guilt

“So sweet.” Sadiyah twitched Kagendra's chin.

Kagendra smiled as she looked at Sadiyah lovingly.

“Every time you are pregnant, Aa willingly and sincerely nausea and vomiting in the morning.”

“So after this pregnancy, there are other pregnancies, huh?”

“If you are pleased, we produce as many children as possible,” said Kagendra expressed his hope.

“Yey, getting pregnant is easy. Pregnancy is not a matter of nausea and vomiting in the morning. If Iyah's stomach gets bigger, Iyah's back and legs become sore quickly. Breath is also short. Sleep uncomfortable, want to be on your back tight want to tilt also sore. Especially if pregnant with twins, the burden is also doubled,” said Sadiyah.

“But you are sincere when pregnant with Aras and Aris?”

“Ikhlas.”

“Nah, so..”.

“Ikhlas is sincere but does not have to be pregnant, too, A. Having a child is not easy. We must be able to educate them well in order to be godly and godly children. Do not make a hobby of making children but do not have the ability to educate children,” concluded Sadiyah.

“Yes, Aa got it. We teach many of our children well too. We must be sure that we are able to educate them well. We have a weapon, prayer. In addition to educating them as optimally as possible, we must also always pray that our descendants become human beings of faith with good morals. Pray that our children will become godly people. Yes, right?”

“Iya Pa Ustadz's. Tumben Aa pinter religious issues.”

“You're mocking Aa, huh?” Kagendra nosed little Sadiyah.

“Not mocking but amazed the same attitude Aa now," praised Sadiyah. "Oh yes, Aa has memorized the prayer so that our children become godly children?”

“Already dong.”

“How does it pray?”

“Robbanaa hab lanaa min azwajinaa wa dzurriyatinaa qurrota a’alnaa lil muttaqiina imaamaa”

“What means, A?”

“You tested Aa, huh?”

Sadiyah giggled at Kagendra's protest.

“Not ngetes A, but test what Aa know also means?”

“Testing and testing means the same, dear... ”

“Iya, yes, So what does it mean?”

“Yes our Lord, grant to us, our wives and our descendants as sweethearts (us), and make us priests for those who fear.”

“Suami Iyah is very smart anyway.” said Sadiyah proudly.

Kagendra blushed at Sadiyah's praise.

“There are still many religious sciences that Aa must learn, including parenting.”

“Hm..”

“Still nauseous?”

“Slight.”

“Sorry yes, Iyah who is pregnant Aa who is nauseous.”

“It's okay, Honey. This is a form of support Aa on you. Even Aa is happy because she can feel the weight of pregnant women.”

Sadiyah kissed Kagendra's forehead and cheeks.

“This one is not part?” kagendra pointed at his lips.

Cup

Sadiyah kissed Kagendra's lips at a glance.

“It’s not enough, Babe.”

Kagendra attacked Sadiyah's lips. It turns out that Sadiyah lips can be the most effective nausea remedy, proven now Kagendra is no longer feeling nausea.

“When do we report your pregnancy to our family?” ask Kagendra as they prepare for bed.

“Let's go, A. Thanks for the graduation of Atep. Can, right?”

“Hm..”

“Iyah wants to make a big thank you for Atep all introducing Atep to Lena. We have a plan to get them. Aa agrees, right?”

“Hm..”

“What's from earlier ham hem ham hem only. Answer the question with a clear answer! Not just ham hem ham.

“Hm is also a clear answer. You should understand.”

“Daddy don't understand!” sadiyah Exclamation.

Kagendra took his breath. “Iya. The answer is yes and can be. Aa agree and support all your plans.”

“Well then dong if you give an answer. Clear and straightforward.”

Sadiyah went from the bed to the bathroom, forgetting not to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Kagendra must prolong his patience in dealing with a young pregnant wife. He also enjoyed the role of a husband who accompanied a pregnant wife, unlike seven years ago when he missed the time when Sadiyah was pregnant with Faras and Faris.

Faras and Faris have also not been told they will soon have a younger brother. They must be happy when they find out that Sadiyah is pregnant with their sister who is eagerly awaited and wanted for a long time even when Sadiyah has not made up with Kagendra.

*****

On Saturday, the extended families of Kagendra and Sadiyah gathered to celebrate thanksgiving. Sadiyah announced to her family that this is a thanksgiving for her adopted sister, Atep who managed to get a college degree.

Lately, Kagendra and Sadiyah do often hold thanksgiving. Within a few months, they had given thanks four times. The first is a new home thanksgiving, then a wedding anniversary, the twins' birthday thanksgiving and now the graduation thanks of Sadiyah's adoptive sister.

“Assalamu’alaikum everything!” kagendra's exclaim caught the attention of everyone present in her spacious backyard.

“Thank you to your family and friends for attending today's Thanksgiving in our simple place.”

Alena grieved at the sweet and humble words her sister spoke.  Alena did not expect if her brother was able to talk sweet sweet sweet candy. He suspected the effect of Sadiyah's love that was able to change Kagendra's cold and arrogant attitude.

“Today we give thanks for the happiness and blessings God has bestowed on us.” Kagendra continued his speech.

“Yang first, we held a thanksgiving for adoptive sister Iyah who just finished the trial and successfully graduated with the best grades. Although the main actor has not been present but does not reduce our gratitude, especially Mak Isah, mother of Atep, my wife's adoptive sister.

Hearing word for word that slid from Kagendra's mouth made Mak Isah shed tears. She felt an overwhelming affection from Sadiyah and her husband.

“The second and no less important is the happy news from both of us.” Kagendra and Sadiyah stared at each other in love.

Suddenly a whispering voice sounded. They were guessing at the news that Kagendra was going to deliver.

“What news, Ndra?” joseph asked impatiently.

Kagendra still looked at Sadiyah lovingly and replied Sadiyah with the same gaze.

“Already.... already.. don't keep staring at each other. We could die wondering if you guys keep looking at each other like that. The world feels the property of the other two contracting, huh,” Arfian protest.

Kagendra laughed at the protests from his best friend.

“The good news is ..”

Kagendra hung up his sentence.

“Aa.. Endra..”.

Everyone compactly grumbled while Sadiyah hit her husband's arm slowly. They were all upset because of Kagendra.

“Alright, my beloved family and friends. Reportedly, Insha Allah, Aras and Aris will have a sister within 7 months.” Kagendra announced the news of Sadiyah's pregnancy with a smile. Sadiyah smiled with a blushing face beside her.

“Alhamdulillah.” Everyone present gave thanks.
