Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
92. Obtained

The mouth should not be the origin of speech, because it could be a prayer that then passes right when God is kind to grant. Fortunately if his prayers are good, try if like Rapa who asks the child in the womb of his wife not to be too good and calm? Is not he alone troubled and troubled! Cleona as a wife could only laugh so much with all her family.

Indeed Rapa's desire was not immediately fulfilled at that time, it's just that the age of Cleona's content was at the age of 9 weeks, morning sicknees begin in natural Cleona although not as severe as morning sickness that occurs in Rapa. If Cleona only felt the usual nausea, Rapa just had to go back and forth the toilet to remove her stomach contents. And while Cleona is sensitive to pungent odors, Rapa is sensitive to any food except fruit and ice cream. Really a suitable blend, right? Rapa's desire to be bothered by the prospective baby is achieved.

At first Rapa did welcome it happily, but as time went on and Rapa was already feeling weak because no other food came in other than fruits or ice cream, the man began to complain and regret his words. But unfortunately, the baby does not want to comply with the request of the father this time, so by being forced Rapa must bear the pain of happiness either until when, when, because so the age of Cleona's womb entering the age of 25 weeks his cravings have not improved and even more so, in addition to the wife who does not want her to hug.

“Eatya, Bang, do not like to talk carelessly. You're the one who bothers? Udah do not complain, because this is also your own who asked.” That's what the mother said when Rapa complained of weakness for back and forth removing her stomach every waking up, even every time trying to enter food.

Rapa lays her limp body on the long sofa of the living room, watching television just to eliminate her saturation. Surprisingly, when all his family gathered and ate well in the dining room, Rapa broke away without anyone to accompany her. Depressing.

“Bang, the Queen has cut the fruit, in the meal, yes,” Cleona comes with a large bowl containing various fruits that have been peeled and cut into pieces.

“No want, bored!” Rapa turned her back to Cleona who was now sitting under the floor beside the sofa that Rapa was sleeping on.

“Don't that dong, brother hasn't eaten anything since morning, later Queen is sad if brother is sick, baby is also must be sad, his brother heart?”

Hearing his wife's sad tone, making Rapa heartless. Changing his position so he sat down, Rapa looked at the wife alternately with a bowl of fruit on the table, then sighed weakly. “The gate is not full of eating mulu fruit, Queen. Wanting goat fried rice, or tuna grilled rice, certainly delicious,” Rapa's saliva drips a little even if you just imagine the two foods, which somehow so desired at this time.

“If you don't throw up again, Queen buyin ten packs too,” said Cleona who of course pity to see her husband lethargic like this, because he can't eat anything he wants.

“Abang, nih, Atu buyin ice cream for brother.” Clara who just came with her husband, gave a white bag containing various ice cream and fruit for her beloved brother. However, the food was not welcomed by the recipient. Not not not to accept the attention of his brother and sister-in-law who have been kind, it's just that Rapa is tired of it all.

“Gue want goat fried rice, Tu, not the same fruit ice cream mulu.”

“You sure you want that? Won't I vomit again?” asked Burma, who was also concerned about the situation of the sister-in-law who was quite sad and thinner than before. Although eating healthy fruits, but still rice and side dishes are more filling what else for Indonesians, which makes rice as their staple food.

“Gini deh, I buy fried goat rice, later I also eat, lo part see, who knows how full. How?” Burma raises its eyebrows.

The sofa pillow that was originally in his embrace, Rapa threw it at his sister-in-law who was currently laughing as if mocking. Damn indeed. “That's the same as a lie, there I'm not full even more ngeces!”

“Makanya, Bang do not like bi..”

“Silent, I'm tired of hearing those words!” delik Rapa immediately stopped Clara's remark which would again advise her not to say carelessly.

“Abang patient, yes, Queen sure soon his cravings will end and brother can eat as much as possible again. Now you eat the fruit first. Remember, there are Queen and baby who still need the responsibilities of brother” Cleona again persuaded her husband to eat, even though it is only fruit, at least something entered into the belly of the man.

“Baby quickly improve dong, please, papa already have no appetite for fruit keep.” Pinta Rapa squeezed into his wife's belly, before then receiving a bribe from the wife with ogah-ogahan.

Clara and Burma laughed, then chose to go over to the parents, because it does not have the heart to also constantly tease Rapa who is languishing and is in emotional stability due to the pregnancy of the wife who has grown. Added to that feeling that Clara somehow felt at this moment every time she saw her sister-in-law's distended stomach. Like there is envy though not noticeable.

The feelings of all women who have married will probably be the same as the one experienced by Clara today. Although the smile continues to be engraved and the laughter always breaks, still the sadness pervades once you see someone who is pregnant. What else when in-laws or anyone asks about him.

Their marriage was only running 6 months, but seeing Cleona who was pregnant at the age of her marriage who wanted to step on two months made Clara into the conversation of people including the eyes of her husband, who was married, she hopes Clara is pregnant.

But how else, no matter how many times he checked, the result was still negative, and the reason has not been believed in God often times Clara uttered with a sincere smile that always forced Clara so that anyone does not know that the speech that always asked her pregnancy hurt and felt Clara as a woman who already married.

That's why Clara visits her parents more often and is sometimes reluctant to return to the Burmese parents' house where she lived since marriage, because this is the most comfortable place, because here is the most comfortable place, his family never had any problems with him. But seeing the big belly of the brother-in-law even made him more envious, and made his mind even more burdened. Serba is wrong.
