Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Two More Lines
So well taken care of by Bhishma, that Kanaya no longer felt a fever. His body temperature is more stable today. Bhishma is a Pediatrician, but when Kanaya is sick, the man seems to turn into a Personal Doctor for his wife. The man was very patient and also very patient.
“Just take a break, Darling .. I went to the pharmacy to buy you a test pack. Tomorrow morning, we check with yah?” bisma this time.
Kanaya nodded her head faintly. If you remember the period of menstruation, it feels like he has not been getting monthly guests. Only, Kanaya felt unprepared now. Moreover, it had only been two months that he had returned together with Aksara. Kanaya thought, being able to spend time with Aksara to exchange their time for the four lost years.
“Mas, just me scared,” I'm Kanaya this time.
“Fear why?” bisma Reply.
“Fear pregnant,” I'm Kanaya honestly.
Bisma then saw his wife. Of course Kanaya had her own thoughts about her fear of getting pregnant again. At such a time, Bhishma will be a good listener and give his ear to listen to the grievances of his wife.
“Why are you afraid? Here's my same story,” Reply Bhishma. Bhishma's response was so good, because he gave his wife time to be able to tell him first. Giving time for Kanaya to share and convey her thoughts first.
“I'm afraid because it's not ready .. It's only been two months, we're back to life to gather with Aksara. I thought, I could spend a lot of time making up for the lost time of these four years. If I get pregnant again, what about Aksara?” kanaya's story this time to her husband.
Logical and reasonable thinking, especially for Kanaya who had been separated for so long from her own son. So this time, Kanaya wants to spend time and create beautiful moments together with Aksara. If she is pregnant, the only thing she is sad about is Aksara. Could it be that Aksara could love her sister.
“It's okay, Honey .. All that thinking is natural. Having a child is also a gift. It is a sign that God trusts us with the presence of another child,” said Bisma this time.
That man is so wise. Children are gifts and gifts from God. Many couples wait for years to get offspring, but if God does not want to, then none of that will happen.
“Do Aksara want to have a sister?” ask Kanaya this time.
Bhishma then grasped Kanaya's hand, “We tell her well and slowly. Just like you need time, the characters too. Just don't be afraid .. You are pregnant and married. Surely your husband will take full responsibility,” said Bisma this time seriously.

The next morning …
Kanaya and Bhishma woke up feeling anxious. Bisma has given two testpacks to his wife. Also a glass to hold urine. Bhishma awakens Kanaya and asks her to do a pregnancy predictive test first.
“Come Dear ... tested first, let us get certainty,” said Bisma this time.
“I'm afraid,” reply Kanaya.
“Yuk, I am Temenin,” said Bisma this time.
Kanaya nodded her head and immediately headed to the bathroom. She carried out the instructions from her husband by holding a little urine in the cup, then put the testpack into the cup. A few minutes Kanaya waited anxiously. Until the testpack was changed, two red lines were clearly printed there.
“There is a new life in my stomach my God,” he murmured with teary eyes.
So, Kanaya wash first the testpack, then immediately get out of the bathroom.
“Mas,” Kanaya called her husband with quivering lips. I just want to cry for that woman.
“Iya, how is Darling? Don't think about the outcome. Whatever it is, I don't have a problem. Anyway, last night I just guessed,” Reply to Bhishma. The man also waited and wanted to know what the results of the test his wife had just taken were.
Later, Kanaya took out two different testpacks of the brand from her pants pocket, and handed them to Bhishma.
“Two red lines, Mas,” said Kanaya this time.
The woman immediately slid into her husband's arms. It was the surprise of the morning that made him seem to be in disbelief, but it was all real.
Bisma hugged Kanaya's body back. The man slightly shed his tears seeing two red lines clearly printed on his wife's testpack.
“Alhamdulillah O Allah .. finally I am trusted again this time,” said Bisma whose chest is bursting with happiness.
The two hugged each other and enjoyed this happy and full moment today for a while.
Bhishma then helped Kanaya to sit on the edge of the bed, “My guess is correct .. Good thing last night I did not give you medicine when you had a fever. Pregnant women should not take drugs without the supervision of a Doctor,” said Bisma this time.
“You are a Doctor,” Kanaya said quickly.
Bisma also laughed at the words of his wife, “I Doctor, Darling .. only Pediatrician. Not an Obstetrician. So, I do not know about safe drugs for pregnant women,” said Bisma this time.
“So, you're happy not Mas?” ask Kanaya this time.
“Ya, of course .. I am very happy,” Reply Bhishma.
Kanaya also felt relieved because honestly her pregnancy this time was not planned at all. She also did not expect after seven years, only this time to get pregnant again. Kanaya also did not use contraception during this time.
“Later we tell Aksara ya Mas .. hopefully Aksara does not mind having a sister,” reply Kanaya this time.
Yes, they must immediately tell Aksara because the firstborn must also be prepared to become a Brother. Not only couples who prepare to welcome a baby, but the firstborn must also be prepared to become a brother who accepts and loves his sister. Thus it can anticipate the occurrence of Sibling Rivalry and make a harmonious relationship between Si Kakat as the Eldest with Si Adik as the youngest.
Slowly Bisma nodded her head, “Iya .. later we tell Aksara. We must also prepare Aksara to be a Brother for his sister. Their age difference is quite a lot of seven years. Hopefully there is no gap too far because of their differences. Besides, we also have to learn because I am the only child in my family, you too. So, we must prepare ourselves to nurture Aksara and Adiknya later. Help in the conflict between the two. Hopefully we can play the role of a good parent for Aksara and his sister,” said Bisma this time in earnest.
