Not a Curse

Not a Curse
19. Mother's Request


"Where did it go??"


Sarah gave her testpack to Erland. The results that Erland has memorized correctly because every month will definitely be the same.


"Sorry Mas" Sarah cried again as usual.


"No papa, we can try again. Don't think, you need to stay calm. Remember the doctor can't be tired and can't be stressed" Erland pulled Sarah into his arms.


"But Mother how Mas, Mother has continued to insist on wanting to have a grandchild" Sarah increasingly sobbed in the arms of Erland.


"Mother let it be my business. Mother's words do not put it to the heart. Because actually I love you, just the feeling of wanting to have a granddaughter is getting stronger so I keep pushing you"


It was three years of their marriage. But Sarah hasn't had a chance to contain the seeds of Erland.


Various efforts have been made, the program to the obstetrician, alternative medicine according to the advice of Gendis, including tube babies they have also been through. But God has not yet willed.


"You rest again, I go to the office first" Erland kissed Sarah's forehead gently not forgetting to clean the remaining tears on his wife's cheeks.


"Be careful Mas" Erland nodded with his handsome smile.

After returning from the office, this time Erland did not go straight home. Endah called suddenly because his mother fell in the bathroom. So Erland went straight to Gendis' house.


"Where's Ndah's mother??" Erland approached her sister who was making drinks in the kitchen.


"Mom's fine. But it's been checked by Doctor Bang"


"Why did you fall?? Mommy sick??"


Endah offered a cup of warm tea to his brother.


"Drink first bang" Then Endah chose to sit at the dining table.


"According to the doctor, I had too many thoughts. For two days I complained of dizziness. But it is very difficult if you want to be taken to the doctor. Until then Mom called me if Mom fell in the bathroom. Fortunately no papa, no impact at all"


Erland was sad to hear Endah's story about her mother's condition. Gendis was the only parent Erland had. After losing his father, Gendis became the reinforcement for Erland to live with two younger siblings under his responsibility.


"Where's edgar??"


"So it's in the same Mom"


"Bring in first" Erland went to his mother's room after Endah brought a drink that had been made.


"You've come home from Ed" Erland approached Edgar, who was massaging his mother's legs. Seeing Edgar who is still neat of course Erland knows that his sister also just came home from work.


"Yes Bang, that's Endah Ngabarin's sister coming straight home"


"Where to change clothes first, let me massage Mom's feet" Edgar then got out of there. Give Erland a chance to be with her mother.


"Er, have you been since??" Gendis instantly looked at Erland as she opened her eyes.


"Just now, Mom, what's sick??" Erland kept massaging her mother's legs.


"Mom doesn't hurt Er. It is an old mother" replied his mother with a warm smile. It was as if saying that the old body was fine.


"Truely said Brother Bu"


Gendis simply shook her head and reached out to Erland to get closer to her.


"You don't know. A mother must want her child to be happy. Living with his small family. Seeing her son have a cute child in their family. But until now I haven't felt it. My mother is getting older"


"Mom.." Erland wanted to interrupt but Gendis gave no chance at all.


"You have been thirty-five years Er. When are you going to give me a grandchild?? Don't you want to give Mom a chance to see Mom's granddaughter??"


"Of course Erland wants to Bu, Erland has also tried. So you have to be healthy to see your granddaughter later"


Gendis started to shed her tears. Thinking about the fate of his son, Erland always worked hard for his family, never felt his name happy. Even the wedding is so.


"Don't Viola's curse be real Er" said his mother.


"Husha!! Don't be weird, Mom. Musicals if we believe in such a thing" Erland strongly denied his mother's mind.


"But in fact Sister Sarah is not pregnant yet, is it Bang??" Endah added his mother's guess.


"That's because it hasn't been loved" Elak Erland.


"Why don't you just pick up Viola Er. She's also your wife. You have the right to ask her to carry your child" Gendis looked at Erland with a sparkling face. He remembered that he still had one more son-in-law, his favorite daughter-in-law.


"Viola doesn't want to go back yet" Erland replied, recalling his wife, who has not responded to his message in three years.


"Yes, pick up dong. Until whenever Viola will never return with Brother if there is no action at all" Endah again remembered the behavior of his brother. His sense of regret for Erland suddenly reappeared.


"I'll think about it. Now Mom rest first. Erland wants to call Sarah because she doesn't know Erland's here"


"Remember Er's mother's message, if Sarah can't love you son. It could be your son from Viola. Pick him up, persuade him to come home with you. You are her husband, you are fully entitled to her. You're also getting older, it's unlikely to go on like this"


Erland nodded to Gendis' message. Even though his heart was very troubled at this moment.


Erland and Endah came out of her mother's room. The two of them chose to head to the family roar, coincidentally there was also Edgar who had changed clothes.


"Bang??" Erland turned to Endah who called out to him.


"I'm the same Edgar hasn't married Bang, I'm 30 years old. Brother wants to give me a chance to marry Edgar Mom who is still on our side"


Erland immediately abandoned her intention to contact Sarah. Putting his phone back because the same Endah talk bounces him with the mother.


"You mean what Ndah?? Don't be weird talking!" Erland looked at Endah sharply.


"Why am I not weird Bang?? I heard the doctor's explanation about Mom's condition. If you keep going on like this, I doubt you can see me married" Endah suddenly hugged Erland hiding her cries.


"Betul Bang, now all I have in mind is Brother. You can be happy if you see you can love your mother grandchild. Maybe with that Mom won't be sick anymore"


Looking at his two younger siblings who still desperately needed his mother, Erland only let out a rough sigh. The burden on his shoulders is getting heavier. His mother and sister are his responsibility. Both his wives. Erland is really stressed right now.


"Have not cried, Brother will think again" Erland rubbed Endah's head gently.


"Promise to Bang??" Erland nodded.


"Therefore you quickly married Ndah" Erland pinched his sister's nose reddened from crying.


"My future priest still doesn't realize that I love him Bang"


Erland and Edgar chuckled at Endah's curse.
