THE OWNER OF THE HEART ROOM
79

"Nothing's gonna change, Pa. Any plan in my life will continue to work as before. So is my wedding plan. Why is it gini?" richard asked uneasily as he and his papa were on their way home from a morning congregation at the mosque.

His father asked about his life plan ahead.

Maybe for his parents, the news of his illness yesterday made the world seem to stop.

But certainly not for his life.

The shock and confusion about his illness he had gone through a few years ago.

The difficult times to adapt and accept the pain he went through yesterday.

He has lived his life in a stable way now, alongside the HIV that will be with him for the rest of his life.

And now, this early in the morning he received a question that he thought was stale and too late to be asked by his papa; about how his life plan was going forward.

Of course he will soon get married, live a more complete life with his wife and their children.

He will try to act as the head of the family who is responsible to his family.

He will try to be a good leader for all his employees.

He will strive to be a better servant every day to his Lord.

He will try to be a good boy to his mother.

He will strive to be a useful human being to the universe around him.

What else can he do besides all that, right?

Her father invited her to a park that was still quiet.

Sit together to be more relaxed talking while waiting for the sun to appear from the eastern horizon.

"Now that the sale of sit-down rice may come, we wait a moment" said the father who preceded him sitting on a park bench near a large frangipani tree.

"Frankly, papa thinks about your domestic life later. Mmmmm, about your obligation to give an inner living to your wife. You're young, you don't want to do that. You've been talking about it with Nawang how?" ask papa heart.

To be honest, Mr. Pambudi was a bit embarrassed to talk about this. But how else?

Inner well-being in the household is not something that can be ruled out of importance.

And he did not want Richard to be destroyed because he could not do his internal obligations.

And he thinks it's better he hears himself from Richard about the solution to this.

Hopefully Richard understands his concerns as a parent.

Last night he had not been that deep to find out about how the life of**** a couple with HIV.

"We talked about it, Pa. When Nawang found out I had HIV, he started actively figuring out all the details about HIV by going to google and asking me. As we decided to get closer together, we also got deeper into discussing all things HIV. He had a chance to meet the doctor who handled me and talk about it." Richard paused for a moment to explain.

It was a bit embarrassing to also talk about personal matters like this even to his own father.

But he also realized his parents need to know the reality, let them calm down if they know his life is still good later.

Mr. Pambudi looked impatiently waiting for Richard to continue his words.

But waiting for Richard did not also continue his speech.

"How's crus?" the question was finally after waiting for Richard did not also continue the conversation.

"What?" asked Richard to be confused.

"How will you do that later!" sahut Pak Pambudi with a tone of anxiety but also shame.

Richard giggled at the embarrassed face of his papa.

"Yes ordinary. Just have to always use safety so as to keep Nawang not infected through my fluids. That clear?" asked Richard while looking embarrassed at his papa who seemed to nod in understanding.

"Trus with your situation now, you'll be able to have no children?" ask Mr. Pambudi still with heart.

"It doesn't mean how. Just want to know. Even if you can't, can't papa, right? There is already Darren and this Star." continued Mr. Pambudi worried Richard offended.

Richard smiled.

It turned out to be much more comfortable for him when more people closest to him knew about his pain.

There was no need to hide as many secrets and things about his pain as he had been doing.

"Can, Pa." replied Richard with a smile.

Richard laughed softly.

"InshaAllah can, Pa. Me and Nawang can have healthy children. But it has to be a little hassle. Thankful we are already in an era where technological development is quite rapid" Richard said with a smile.

"Do you have kids who have to use that technology?" asked Mr. Pambudi increasingly curious.

"Yes that. I can't handle the transaction directly. Sper ma should also be made healthy first, cleared of the virus. So later there is the term cleaning sperm ma from the HIV virus, this is using advanced machines. If it is clean, the sperm will be inserted into the uterus using a special catheter. Then the natural process of pregnancy. And always under the supervision of a doctor of course." said Richard as he heard from his accompanying doctor.

Mr. Pambudi smiled with relief, then patted his arm while still smiling.

"Papa was relieved to hear it. Whatever it is, however, you'll have to tell us if there's anything. Yea?" pinta Pak Pambudi with a serious look.

"Surely Pa, definitely" Richard said confidently.

"Asik is your life. Very dynamic and me nan tang." as well as Mr. Pambudi who made Richard laugh.

"That's it. And now I feel more calm and light after more know and still accept me. Thank you, Pa." said Richard then hugging his papa shoulder with one arm.

"We will always be there for you. Do not hide anything from us anymore" said Mr. Pambudi while looking at him with a pleading gaze.

Richard nodded firmly.

"Tuh, who sells rice is ready. There buy us breakfast." orders Mr. Pambudi directly obeyed Richard.

After getting a few packs of rice sitting for breakfast all the residents of the house, Richard and his papa hurried to step foot home.

"Circuits on the stray or kidnapped who, if you come home at six." greet the mother who was cool watering the flowers with Mr. Dirman.

"Wait for the rice. Long time no rice snack sitting in the park" replied Mr. Pambudi.

Richard handed the rice to Bu Asih who just came out of the house.

"Satpam I didn't love it yet" said Richard as he sat on the garden chair, watching his mother weed her beloved flowers.

"Ready, Mas. Later not anterin all fried" said Bu Asih then rushed back inside to prepare breakfast.

"You coming back this morning, Ric?" ask her mother while washing her hands on a faucet not far from where she sits.

"Yes. Take a shower, have breakfast, go back." replied Richard casually.

"Wait until the brain-brain banding order arrives huh? Not until seven o'clock" said his mother then followed him sitting.

"For whom?" asked Richard to be confused.

"Make prospective ghosts and former ghosts. Who else to do. Can make a side dish for grandchildren." replied the mother while chuckling.

"I'm not even loved. Choose a lot of love." murmured Richard ostensibly envious.

"You asked for Nawang. He likes to feed you." replied his mother was so soft.

"Who said? He's a very calculating know, Ma. If I ask you what it is, he sets the rates, it's expensive again" said Richard in the style of the fashion gossip mama-mama on.

Her mother laughed at hearing it.

"It can be overshadowed by how she blackmails you" her mother said in her laughter.

"Call Ma, my marriage with Nawang will be happy forever" said Richard suddenly seriously, making the laughter of his mother immediately subsided.

"definitely. Mama and papa must always pray for the happiness of the children's household. You are good with Nawang. He's been hurt in a marriage before, must have been traumatized. You have to be more patient with it. He must be able to heal his wounds. Not just the stars, but the stars. You have to be a good father to him too. He also has trauma. Consult a psychologist if necessary, let's be right how you treat their heart wounds" said mama seriously.

Richard nodded in understanding.

He knows that big PR. And he knows it's not easy.

So he started chatting with a friend who became a psychologist for a consultation about Nawang and Bintang.

He will do his best for his family later.

Caring for them with all her might and all her heart with all the love she had.

Because he believes God reunited him with Nawang one of them to heal the woman's inner wounds.

And he's sure he'll be able to do it.

God will definitely help him heal the inner wounds of Nawang and Bintang.
