During the middle of dinner, Riana suddenly stopped and paused her mouthful. He felt his stomach cramp a little.
"Why baby?" ask Diko wonder.
"Ga nothing Mas" Riana replied lying.
His heart is not broken. The appetite suddenly disappeared. Swallowing the food in his mouth was very difficult.
The cramping he felt indicated his menstrual blood would soon come out. In his heart pray that this is just his feeling.
After she finished eating, Riana immediately rushed to the bathroom and checked. There were no blood stains. His heart was a little relieved.
He smiled and was quite happy, because rarely he was late menstruation. So if this time she had a late period, then it was true that she was pregnant.
But Riana has not told Diko that today should be her menstrual schedule. He was afraid that Diko would follow along with holding so much hope as he currently does.
Once out of the bathroom, Riana sees that Diko has started to open her laptop and work on her work that may not be finished.
Shortly after, Bi Yum knocked on the door. Bi Yum brought a young date container. Riana wondered where Bi Yum got it from, because she remembered she had never bought dates.
"This is the young date ma'am, Aunt washed it to be clean and eaten" said Bi Yum, handing over the container.
"Where's Bi?" riana asked while taking the container Bi Yum gave her.
"The father brought the right thing home from work" replied Bi Yum.
Riana immediately glanced at Diko.
"Yes I bought from my friend who used to import food from Arabia" Diko replied without Riana asking.
Riana approached Diko and placed the young date on the nightstand.
"Say, young dates are good for those who are trying to get pregnant. So I buy, hopefully you like yes" continued Diko again.
Riana took a young date and bit her. A fresh sweet taste was immediately felt in his mouth.
"Where?" ask Diko.
"Great son of Mas" replied Riana sparkling.
Diko smiled. She was happy if Riana liked it.
"Mas" call Riana.
"Hmm" Diko replied as she continued to focus on her laptop screen.
"Thank you for all your efforts" said Riana.
Riana approached and sat on her husband's lap. He put his hand on Diko's neck.
"Honey, what I did was supposed to do. You don't have to thank me. Whatever I can do I will definitely do for you and our future children who are again on the way" said Diko while stroking his wife's flat stomach.
Riana smiled. She feels like the luckiest wife on earth if Diko is being as sweet as she is right now.
...***...
Riana woke up from her sleep and felt like urinating. The wall clock shows 02:30 p.m.
He immediately went to the bathroom to complete his wish. But when he opens**************, he sees a blood spot there.
Automatically Riana's heart was instantly shattered into pieces. It is a reflection of her husband's efforts to get children, but again she has not been able to make it happen.
Riana's tears instantly dripped without being in command. It broke through smoothly and landed on the cheek. There was a pain in his chest when what he expected did not come true. It's hard at times like this to stay positive.
It turns out that Riana had been crying for almost 20 minutes in the bathroom. Diko heard sayup2 the sound of crying from the bathroom.
Then he did not find Riana in his bed. Diko immediately jumped and headed towards the bathroom door that was not in the key.
Riana was crying on the bathroom floor. Diko immediately ran in and pulled Riana's body to stand up.
"What's the matter, baby?" ask Diko to panic.
"You're sick, where's it? ask Diko again.
Riana shook her head.
"I'm sorry Mas" he said.
"What's wrong?" asked Diko while wiping the tears that were still wetting his wife's cheeks.
"I'm sorry" Riana said again without being able to explain the truth. He knew Diko would be disappointed.
"Why baby? Same story as me" persuaded Diko.
"Iu.." said Riana stammered.
"I, um,.. Aku, however,.. I'm haid Mas" he said.
"I'm sorry" said Riana.
"Hey, you don't talk like that. You don't have to apologize, my dear, it's not your fault. Maybe we just need to be patient. Everything has been determined by God, we as humans just live while trying and praying. You are sad, we can try. Or if you want us to go to the obstetrician for a consultation I will also fully support" explained Diko while holding both jaws Riana to look at him.
Riana nodded speechlessly. He hugged Diko tightly. Only her husband's embrace could truly calm her down at this moment.
