Marrying My Brother's Fiancee
EPISODE 75 LISTEN TO MOM'S ADVICE
"Tok..but.tok...tok...!"
The sound of the bedroom door in the ketok. Sarah opened her heavy eyes. He looked up at the ceiling of the room. The room was starting to light up, the morning sunlight breaking through from the sidelines of the curtains, slightly blinding to the eyes.
Raka was still sleeping soundly, Raka's legs were hanging so much above Sarah's thigh, as if not wanting to let his wife suddenly disappear as long as she slept.
The sound of the crackling at the door was heard again.
"Darling..."Sarah shook Raka's body while calling out half a whisper.
"Hm..."Raka said with a lazy deham, while both of his eyes remained closed. He seems really sleepy.
"Dear wake!"
"Why...we suddenly nausea again?"
" Some one's knocking on the door."
Raka opened her eyes with a squint, then frowned her forehead.
"Who?"
Sarah did not answer but her index finger stuck to her lips.
Sound again, knock, again,
"Darling..are you still sleeping?" A warm crisp sound that they were very familiar with, was heard from behind the door.
"Mommy...?" Sarah and Raka said that lying down and like a child they both rushed out of bed.
"Yes, mom...!" Raka jumped still in her shorts and thin T-shirts half-in a hurry to the door, while Sarah rushed to open the curtains that closed the glass window of the room.
Shame pinched his face, when looking at the room wall clock, the short needle was already almost at the number eight.
She really felt like she was a self-destructive daughter-in-law, being at the house of in-laws and sleeping till this afternoon.
Mama was standing in the doorway with a fresh, fit face and a smile so wide, in her hand was a small tray filled with a glass of warm milk, when Raka opened the door.
"Darling..How are you this morning?" A big smile with warm sparkling eyes was fixed straight to Sarah who was standing clumsy in front of the balcony door of the room that had just been in the room.
"Good, ma." Sarah answered nervously, like a child caught stealing candy.
Mama stepped towards Sarah as if she did not see Raka who grinned widely while her hands were still on the doorknob.
Raka gawked at the behavior of the mother who ignored his presence just like that. Not one bit he turned to Raka who was already preparing to greet him with pleasantries.
"Darling, mama made you a glass of warm milk."Mom puts a glass on Sarah.
Sarah's face became increasingly red, she really felt very embarrassed, was awake and delivered milk by her own in-laws.
With trembling hands greeted the glass, then bowed his head with a sigh.
"Sorry, so trouble mama."
"Mom didn't bother, just a little worried, last night you went straight to the room and you haven't eaten anything until this morning.
Empty stomach for too long plus hormonal changes can make nausea in early pregnancy more severe." Sahut Sang mama's.
Sarah raised her face, no more stiff faces and exuded disappointment last night.
This morning, she became the mother she knew so well, warm, gentle and attentive.
"Raka would, too, have a glass of warm milk." Raka hugged her mother from behind. And kissed the mama's cheek.
Mama frowned, her face instantly became sour.
"Are you pregnant too?"
"But Raka made Sarah pregnant."
Raka's tacky answer made Sarah's face turn red.
"That makes pregnant do not need pregnant women's milk. But it's supposed to be a shower soon, under Marni's mom, make you your favorite chocolate waffle." Mama releases Raka's arm which hugs her spoiled.
Mom takes Sarah's hand to the balcony.
"Look, baby.the sun was shining warmly this morning, sitting here for a while, while it wasn't too hot. The doctor said, Pregnant women are good if sunbathing in the morning because sunlight is important to help synthesize vitamin D for baby growth and strengthen the mother's bones." Mama guided Sarah to her seat, on the balcony chair with her.
"You should know too, baby...Vitamin D is also useful for improving the immune system, eye health, and lowering the risk of high blood pressure in pregnant women. So when you wake up in the morning, take a moment to sit here. But don't get too hot, your skin will burn"
Sarah nodded obediently, indeed she was barely able to digest what her in-laws were saying, but all she knew was, the attention given by this kind-hearted middle-aged woman felt so heartwarming.
"Mama..." Raka suddenly sat in the same chair as Sarah in front of her mother who was sitting challenging the sky. Raka was sitting right beside his wife, so tight with no distance.
"Mama's still mad at Raka?" Ask Raka carefully.
For a moment the gentle face turned serious, his eyes fixed on the two people he loved dearly.
"Darling..."Mama set her eyes on Raka.
"Every parent would be disappointed if his child lied to him. But when a child realizes his mistake and regrets it, there will not be a single disappointment left because it means that the child has learned well from his error. Every mistake is a lesson if we admit it and don't try to repeat the same mistake." Mama said.
Sarah and Raka were both silent, they did not have the courage to challenge the black eyeballs that sparkled at them.
"No parent has survived so long not speaking to their child, no matter how angry they are. Whatever you've done whether it's a mistake or a mistake, make it a lesson because because you're going to be parents too."
Mama breathed for a moment.
"And for the two of you, listen to your mother's advice." He said later,
"As husband and wife, you are no longer two but one. Be as thoughtful as facing all your household problems. On the way, disagreements may be allowed, being upset with each other is natural but never quarrel with your husband or wife until the sun rises tomorrow. Because a fight that is too long can open the gap to other mistakes. A day's trouble is enough for a day, an overnight distress is enough for a night. Tomorrow there will be a day with its own troubles. " The voice was so calm with very regular intonation, it infiltrated the eardrum and went all the way to the recesses of the heart.
Sarah was fascinated by the look of a face that still looks beautiful in that twilight age, maybe true said the proverb of policy and kindness can make someone become young.
"A husband is always ahead, guiding and making decisions. But the wife should not always be behind, there are times when she should stand beside her to remind and give consideration. As a husband, cherish your wife so that as long as you are by her side, you receive her respect and devotion. As a wife, keep your husband's honor because if you humble him in front of others, then you have humbled yourself before many."
"Mistakes in the past, let them belong to the past. Do not remember it, if it hurts, but just remember as necessary to just remind us, the painful thing does not have to be repeated at a later date." Mama put Raka's fingers on Sarah's fingers.
"If you two are still asking, are papa and mama still angry? Yes, we're still angry because you never trusted us to get involved in your predicament and there are times when we as parents, are at a loss for words, but we never lose love."
Your smile is so sweet, so sweet even sweeter than all the candy in the world.
