Quarter Century Duda
Seven Months of Pregnancy


It does not feel that the pregnancy of Mother Dianti has entered the age of seven months. That means there are only two months left, Mother Dianti will give birth to her baby. However, what is unique is that Mother Dianti and Father Tendean agreed not to know the sex of the baby. All that, also because both expect more surprises during labor later.


However, as to celebrate and be grateful for a pregnancy that has stepped on seven months, now at the residence of Tendean Father held a thanksgiving for the gestational age of Mother Dianti who has stepped on seven months. Initially, there was a plan that the size of the bag would only be held at Orphanage only. However, considering some colleagues from the hospital who came so that Tendean Father chose to hold this event at home.


For decoration, the caterer also has to order. In addition, there are Anaya and Tama who are ready to help. In addition, the children of the Mother Love Orphanage were also all invited.


"Are you ready, Mother?" ask Anaya who is now helping Mother Dianti in her room.


The middle-aged woman smiled. "Many things happen when Mother is no longer young, Anaya. Justjust wonderful. Actually Mommy is embarrassed, however, an event like this is more suitable for those who are young. Meanwhile, Mother is too old. There's a sense of shame. Look, at 47, you're seven months pregnant."


Anaya smiled there. While tidying up the veil worn by the Mother. It's weird, it doesn't mean it can't happen. Because, Anaya also knows that there are women aged over 50 years can still get pregnant. So, Mother Dianti is one of the few women who can still be pregnant at an age that is no longer young.


"It's okay, Mother. That's Dad's still in the spirit. Every time you tell Mother and baby, Dad always smiles. It was like the first time I had a baby. Mother relaxed and spirit like Father only," Anaya replied.


Indeed Tendean Father who looks very excited. She enjoyed the pregnancy of Mother Dianti. In addition, the attention and affection for his wife also he poured out all the time.


"Your father is very excited. She even found a name for her baby later. In fact, Father and Mother agreed not to know the sex of the baby," replied Mother Dianti.


"That's how it is, Dad. That's a sign that Dad is very in love with Mommy. Father enjoying the pregnancy of Mother Dianti. We're going down now, Mommy?" take Anaya to Bunda Dianti.


Finally now, Anaya holds the hand of Mother Dianti. Get down from the room to the living room and follow the studies that will be led by Islamic religious leaders. Below there are already some friends from the hospital, children from the orphanage, as well as the Khaira and Radit families who have been considered Mother Dianti like their own family.


Tendean's father smiled. His wife and son went down together. Have a close and familiar relationship. Then, Anaya helped Mother Dianti sit next to her father.


"Anaya there is the same Mas Tama yes, Mommy," he said.


Feeling that everything has been gathered then began a Ustad to open the main event that is teaching. Praying for pregnant women and their fetuses, may Allah grant salvation until the time of birth. Tendean father and Mother Dianti also followed solemnly. Especially for, Mother Dianti where this is the first experience for her.


"O Allah, O God Who Blesses us, bless us in our age, life, religion, worldly life, and children. O Allah, O Lord of guard, keep the child .. (name the mother) as long as she is in her mother's stomach and give health to her and her mother. You are the Healer, there is no healing except from You, and do not predestine him to be sick and hindered (from Your Grace). O Allah, form the fetus in the mother's belly with a good, beautiful, and perfect appearance. Strengthen your heart in faith in You and Your Apostle, in the world and the Hereafter. O Allah, extend his life, so that his body, give him good deeds, be well versed in his words, and make his voice read the glorious Qur'an and the hadith, with the blessing of the ruler of the messengers."


When Ustad chanted the prayer, Mother Dianti shed her tears. Very moved. At once, indeed he hopes his baby will have good morals, healthy, and long life. A prayer that truly touches the heart.


Until finally after prayer and study, the event continued with a meal together. The Ustad is welcome to eat first. Followed by all invitations and children from Orphanage.


"Want to eat, Mother?" bargain Dad Tendean.


"No, Mas. Just later. I helped bribe those kids first" he replied.


Tendean's father nodded his head, allowing his wife to mingle with the children from the orphanage and also feeding some children there. Instead, Tendean's father was a great woman in his wife. A person is only the first time pregnant, but can already devote his affection to disadvantaged children.


"Where's the mother, Dad?" ask Anaya to her father.


"That, feed the little boy. Look, Anaya .. a woman who can love disadvantaged children is a noble woman. Later, to his son while surely, your mother will be able to love his baby as well," said Tendean's father.


Anaya smiled at her father. However, at least that what his father had just delivered was true. Later surely Mother Dianti will also be able to love her own baby with great affection.


"Anaya is happy, Dad is back to feeling great love. Anaya is happy that Dad is back to finding women as a place to lean. Always happy, Dad."


Yes, Anaya is very grateful. At the age of twilight, his father fell in love again. Her father, who lived alone for 25 years, can now find a place to lean on.
