Parents For My Baby

Parents For My Baby
Weddings


I walked down the hallway of the campus, for some reason this hallway felt so long, it felt like I already wanted to be inside my room. It's been a month since I left Anton in the rain, now I'm getting as engrossed in my own world as I used to be, alone in the room.


Until now he has not left because he is still undergoing a period of recovery, this situation actually makes it easier for me not to need to avoid it.


One semester passed, Anton also had not returned to this campus, but I had heard one of my upperclassmen talking if Anton had transferred his parents to continue his studies in Australia.


I try to feel fine, is this not what I want, do I not want to see him again, but it turns out that this heart is so sick to accept reality. 'If you can, for the sake of your parents, you must succeed Mila.'


I can only encourage myself. Right now the purpose of my life is to make both my parents happy, I hope that this pain can also disappear from my heart. With the rest of my passion, I finally managed to finish my studies with satisfactory grades. The cum laude predicate I got made Mom and Dad so proud of me.


It did not take long, I finally got a job, a few days after the judiciary on campus there was a national level company looking for a workforce and I managed to get through a job interview, he said, although this job requires me to go further apart with my parents.


Hustle and bustle of the capital that is far different from the city of Solo and Jogja should now be a part of my life. For the time being I live in Mba Tari's house, she is now married and has a three-year-old son.


The distance of my office with Mba Tari's house was not too far away, making it easier for me because I was not too familiar with this city. Today was my first day working in the office, I was in such a hurry because I didn't want to be late.


Finally I arrived, after meeting the HRD staff I was then directed to my work cubicle. I just laid this body on the seat, suddenly a rose was on my desk. I was so surprised, but I ignored it because I thought it belonged to one of the employees left behind.


I prefer to hear Mba Dini's explanation as the senior staff who taught me during the training period. But the next day the strangeness happened again, I found a red brown on my desk, for fear I threw it away.


I took the paper on top of the chocolate.


"For Kamila"


'Who has actually sent this chocolate?' my inner. But I tried to heed all that, and chose to focus on working.


The weirdness I experienced didn't just happen in the office. But also I experienced at the house of Mba Tari, I was actually very curious who really send flowers and chocolates to me.


But Mba Tari did not know it.


The weirdness did not happen in just a matter of days, but during the three months of this training period every day I got a gift in the form of chocolate, dolls, dolls, and even more, or flowers either in the office or at home Mba Tari. Until finally, one day Mba Dini called me "When you are called the big boss into his room anyway."


I was so surprised that I was suddenly called, my heart wondered what I had done wrong that I had to face the owner's room of this company. I opened the door of the room with a slight tremble.


"Good day sir, you're calling me?" I said in a very nervous tone.


He then turned his body, how surprised I was to see that the person before me was the person I had longed for. Not feeling the clear grains flowing, I could no longer hold the feeling that was raging inside my chest, especially when Anton started to get closer to me.


"How are you, Mila? Finally after a long time we meet again Mila" he said with a smile, now our bodies are so close.


My heart was beating even harder. "I'm sorry, excuse me I'm doing a lot of work" I said as I tried to get away from him.


But my movement lost quickly, Anton has now hugged me. My footsteps were restrained, moreover he hugged me so tightly, it felt so hard for me to let go.


"Let's never leave me again Mila."


"Mas, I'm aware we're different."


"What a different Mila, you never gave me a chance!!" Then Anton took his phone out of his pants pocket.


"Look at this Mila, take a good look!"


I saw Anton sitting with one of the religious leaders, and he showed me a video of him saying the word shahadah.


"But, I don't want you to change your faith just because of me, you have to be absolutely sure that your decision is a choice from the bottom of your heart!!!"


"Who's converted because you're Mila? I've been wanting to change faith since I was in school, my friends taught me all this, not you, so I dare to love you, this is my reason!!!"


I could only cry sobbing hearing all the explanations. There is no reason for me to avoid him. I love him so much too. I returned his arms and accepted his love back.


It hasn't been a year since I've had this relationship with Anton. He finally invited me to meet my parents. Of course Father and Mother bless our relationship, I am also very happy to be married to someone I love very much.


But something stuck in my heart, until a month before our wedding, I had never been reunited with Anton's parents. When I asked, she only replied that her parents were busy.


I try to think positively and understand the condition of both parents.


Finally the wedding day arrived, I was a little relieved because Anton came with his extended family, his father also accompanied when our qabul ijab took place. But I didn't see my mother-in-law present, when I asked Anton and his father they only answered if Mom was sick.


I didn't want to ruin the happiness of the people around me at that time, finally just being able to believe what they said.


One week after the wedding, Anton and I went back to Jakarta. While we stayed in Anton's apartment until we found a suitable house. I'm not allowed to work either, now I'm just a housewife.


Until one day when our wedding was on the third month, I heard a knock on the door of the apartment. I opened it, and a beautiful woman stood in front of me.
