My student's my future husband?
Episode 52
Ferdian walked out of his bathroom with a somewhat calm feeling, after washing his body with warm water. He was still wearing a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked for the figure of his wife who was not in the room, he wanted to make sure his wife was okay after the strange treatment earlier.
"Honey..," call Ferdian.
But there was no word from his wife. Then he walked out of his room, circulating his gaze around the area of his apartment. Ajeng is not there. Ferdian was nervous, was Ajeng angry? He immediately looked for her in the room next to the unused.
"Darling?!" ferdian shouted open the door of the room. Ajeng is seen lying on the bed. Seeing her husband looking panicked, she woke up from her bed.
"Why?" tanya was surprised.
"Why are you sleeping here?" asked Ferdian.
"Not why, I'm just thinking," answered Ajeng honestly.
"You don't work?" ferdian asked, seeing that his wife was still wearing a sleeping robe that covered her body.
"A moment," he replied flatly.
Ferdian felt that his wife was either disappointed or upset maybe because of her actions earlier that stopped 'sacred activities' suddenly. Ferdian sat his body beside his wife who was looking at him with a flat look, like not his usual Ajeng.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you! I'm just worried about hurting our son! I'm scared!" said Ferdian bowed lethargic.
He looked at her, holding her husband's hand.
"I understand, I just feel like you're a little weird!" say Ajeng.
"You mean?"
"I don't know, maybe it's just my feeling. I saw your expression when I said that I might be pregnant or at the doctor, like not you! Don't you like it when I'm pregnant?" tanya Ajeng was still looking at him deeply.
Ferdian swallowed his saliva, his heart pounding. Ajeng may be aware of his slightly different attitude.
"A.a.a.I don't like it!" said Ferdian stammered. He sighed.
"Continue?"
Ferdian clasped both hands tightly.
"I need time to adjust, to prepare myself. I'm so worried that I hurt you!" obviously Ferdian with a worried look on his face.
"Why are you worried? I'm sure you can be a good father even if you're young! I'm also sure that you can take care of me and our son. It is precisely with your attitude and response like this that can hurt me," said Ajeng with teary eyes.
Ferdian pulled Ajeng's body into his arms in a sitting position. He stroked his wife's hair gently.
"I'm going to Mommy!" said Ajeng lirih.
"Yes, I'll drop you off" replied Ferdian. He did not tell the news of his wife's pregnancy to his mother. Unlike his mother-in-law who already knew even though by phone.
"I'll take a shower!" said Ajeng to release her body from her husband's embrace. The look on Ajeng's face has not changed.
Ferdian just exhaled his coarse breath. He must be able to immediately overcome the problems that exist in him so that his wife is not disappointed again. She also has a lot to learn about pregnancy. Reportedly, a pregnant woman will be more sensitive to her feelings. It turns out it was true that way.
\=====
HarI Saturday Ajeng and Ferdian visited the residence of the father and mother, as Ajeng requested at that time. Ajeng himself had prepared a gift as a surprise for her in-laws over her pregnancy. Of course, he hopes that his in-laws, especially Gunawan's father, can be cured with this good news. Moreover, his son will be the first grandchild of Gunawan's father and Mother Bella.
Ferdian parked his car in the courtyard of the Gunawan Winata Family home which is quite spacious. Contemporary modern homes look grand and elegant. They got out of the car to get in.
"Assalamu'alaikum.." greetings both of them when entering the house.
"Wa'alaikumsalam..," answered Mother who pushed the wheelchair Father who was still sitting with his stroke.
Ajeng went straight to his father-in-law and kissed their hands, followed by Ferdian behind him.
"Somebody healthy?" tanya Ajeng who kissed the right and left cheeks of her in-laws.
"Alhamdulillah, how are you?"
"Thank God be healthy too, Bun!" answer Ajeng sumringah.
"How's Dad's health?" ask the woman in-laws.
"Thank God there is progress. You can already move his right hand," replied the Mother while looking at her husband.
Ferdian hugged his father's body with a trembling body as it held back his cries. But his father could only nod as well while shedding tears. Mother only smiled when she saw the sight of the prince and her husband.
"Let's go to the middle room!" invite Mother.
Ferdian is pushing his father's wheelchair this time.
Mother, Ajeng, and Ferdian sat on the sofa.
"Are you not on vacation?" ask the woman in her 50s. But her beautiful face still shone.
"It's another vacation here, Bun!" answer Ferdian.
"Where do you mean, who knows for a short vacation out of town?"
"Smuck, Bun! I have a lot of tasks!" ferdian.
Mother Ferdian just nodded considering the status of the child and his daughter-in-law was equally busy with their respective professions.
"Oh yeah, your sister came here yesterday, she dropped something for Ajeng!" said Mother.
"Who? Brother Resha?" asked Ferdian guessing his older sister was the one who gave his wife something.
"Yes" answered the mother.
"But Sister Resha comes, she is usually the busiest in Jakarta!"
"Now I have shared the task with her husband, Bang Leo already want to take over the duties of Resha in the food company,"
"Oohh, that's fine! What is Resha's sister, Bun?"
"I don't know, it's in that box!"
Just quietly listen to the conversation between her husband and mother-in-law. She also told her sister-in-law about her pregnancy. So is Kak Tania, Ferdian's sister-in-law, whom he met during the Winata family event. But he asked them to keep it a secret from his father and mother. Ferdian himself did not know that Ajeng had informed her pregnancy to her brother.
"Bun, this Ajeng wants to give something to Daddy and Mommy!" said Ajeng slowly, he took out a box the size of his mobile phone in maroon color from his handbag.
"What's that?" asked the Mother surprised and immediately took the box that Ajeng proffered.
Ajeng and Ferdian looked at each other smiling.
"It's true?" she closed her mouth in disbelief.
"Yes Bun, you're pregnant!" said Ajeng smiling.
"God, thank God!" he said glazed over, he immediately embraced his daughter-in-law. His heart was amazed and extraordinarily happy. Likewise with Gunawan's father who can only hear their conversation. He cried out in tears, occasionally his lips seemed to want to force his smile. He seemed to be moving his hand which was immediately greeted by Ferdian's grasp.
Ferdian looked at his father full of harus. He must be very happy to know he will soon have a grandson who has always been waiting for from his three children. But unexpectedly, it was Ferdian, the youngest child who got sustenance first.
"Aren't you planning to delay?" ask Mother still does not believe.
"Ajeng forgot to take his birth control pills, Bun!" answer Ferdian.
"That's sustenance, son! If God plans love, you can't resist it!" said Mother looked shady to Ajeng.
"Yes right, Bun!" said Ferdian.
"You must be strong, boy! You must be ready to be a father! Mother sure!" said Mommy rubbed her son's back.
He stared at the two. There were questions running through his mind.
\=====
That afternoon after eating a lunch meal that has been prepared by a housekeeper, Mommy invites Ajeng to walk to his backyard. The backyard of Ferdian's father and mother is not too broad. But it looks like the design of the garden of this house like garden designs in large houses in Japan. There is a small moat connected to a larger pond, where the koi fish gather. White stones and Japanese grass predominate. There is also a garden lamp made of stone. Shrimp spruce bonsai plants look beautiful in the corner of the garden.
Mommy and Ajeng sit on a garden chair facing the pool. Looks like mommy wants to tell you something.
"Jeng.." call Mother.
"Yes, Bun!"
"Where was Ferdian's expression when he found out you were pregnant?" ask Mommy while feeding the fish.
Ajeng wondered why his father-in-law asked that.
"Should you be honest, Bun?" silly questions that just slide by. Mother chuckles.
"Of course!"
"I feel like Ferdian is holding something back. He didn't look happy, but disappointed didn't either. There was something strange about his expression, Bun!" ajeng replied, watching his father-in-law.
Mommy looks at Ajeng.
"There is something Mother should say. You should know this!" said Mother makes Ajeng feel nervous.
Mother sighed.
"At that time, Ferdian was 5 or 6 years old if not mistaken. He was playing softball with his father and brothers. He really enjoys exercising. At that time, he was also very fond of softball games. Although his body is still small, he can carry a softball stick and hit the ball very hard," Mother's story.
Ajeng seemed to pay close attention to the mother's story.
"At that time actually, he will have a sister," continued Mother.
"Sister? Ferdian has a sister?" tanya Ajeng was astonished.
"Yes, should. However, when the game was an accident. Ferdian was very excited to hit the ball until finally the ball hit the belly of the mother who was pregnant with her sister," Mother's story stopped.
Ajeng.
"Maybe it's part of God's destiny. Mother miscarried at that time, at the age of 7 months of pregnancy. With the condition of the mother who is actually no longer young, and a risky pregnancy, the mother experienced severe bleeding. This must have been a terrible thing for Ferdian. He was expecting his sister's presence. We have never blamed Ferdian for this. He was disappointed and continued to blame himself. He was severely traumatized at the time, so he went through a psychotherapy session."
"Almost 10 years of psychotherapy. He often had nightmares because he saw blood, or someone who claimed to be his sister. But thank God, Mother is grateful Ferdian can go through the toughest times for him," explained Mother. He took a long breath.
"Ajeng.., Mother hope you can understand Ferdian! Mother believes Ferdian can be stronger and ready to face your pregnancy! It's just that maybe he needs an adjustment, it takes more time. Mother is also sure, you are a strong woman! If there's anything with Ferdian, please call Mommy!" pinta Mommy, her eyes are glazed.
The breath of Ajeng feels tight to hear the story of the mother. She did not expect her husband to have any severe trauma in the past. Especially the trauma related to pregnancy.
"But don't think about this too much, do you? Think of something positive, so your child can grow up healthy! Mommy just wants to tell if Ferdian is being indifferent, or as if avoiding you, don't care too much. Maybe he is preparing himself," added Mommy.
Ajeng closed his eyes and nodded. He understands. Ferdian loved her so much that maybe her husband was worried that she could hurt him, as she had said at the time.
"Yes Mother, Ajeng understands! May Ferdian conquer his fear!" said Ajeng vibrated.
"Mother will always pray for you all!" said the Mother hugged Ajeng, giving the strength of a mother to her child.
\=====
I don't think the sun is at the end of the sky. Mother and father delivered the child and daughter-in-law until the front porch returned to their residence. Ajeng brought a medium box he got from Sister Resha.
"Fey.." Suddenly Ferdian's father called out his name.
Though all this time the face affected by the stroke was too difficult to say something. This is the first time he said the word after a long stroke. Ferdian was shocked and immediately approached his father again,
His hand was twitching trying to touch Ferdian's head. Ferdian looked down and grabbed his father's body.
"a.mu, a.a.us, u.at" he said again stammering.
Ferdian could no longer hold back his cries. He knew exactly what his father was saying.
"Ferdian will try hard, Dad!" ferdian said shaking with tears that continued to spill on his cheeks.
Ajeng and Mommy also shed tears full of haru.
Ferdian further rounded and strengthened his resolve. For the sake of his wife and his father's recovery, he must try hard to overcome his fears in the past.

Can Ferdian beat his trauma?
