Tough Widow
New Hope

As expected Mirna and Danu, the arrival of Ayu and Angga brings good influence to Chika, the girl who some days was often daydreaming is now back cheerful. It was as if it was emitting a dim light. Awakening a slightly gloomy spirit. Building a peaceful home atmosphere. 

''Are you sure you want to go to school? If not ready papa, '' said Mirna make sure. 

Chika nodded quickly. ''I'm sure, Ma. Besides true said aunty Ayu, jdooh will not go where. I have to focus on the school, '' he said heavily. Still holding a little tightness in the chest. However, you have to face reality. 

''Mama is proud of you.'' Mirna hugs Chika, as well as Danu who is very affectionate with her daughter. 

As usual, Chika rides a luxury car among special drivers.

''Da...Mom, Pa... '' Waving his hand towards Mirna and Danu who were pecking at the terrace. 

The trip was so fun. Despite the traffic jam, Chika doesn't care. He has promised himself that from this day on he will fight that anxiety. Back to the bright future dreamed of since childhood. 

''Pick up at two o'clock, sir. I want to go for a walk with a friend, Chika said after reading a message from a friend who asked her to walk. 

''Well, Miss, '' replied the driver briefly. 

The car stopped in front of the school gate. Just as Chika got off, Hanan's motorbike stopped in front of the girl's car. They come face to face and smile at each other. I don't know what that symbol is. The two felt that something was different after a few days of silence and not greeting each other. 

Hanan opened the glass of his helmet. Staring at Chika who was walking towards him. Her charms remained the same as before they broke up.

''Can we talk for a minute?'' said Chika picked up the thread that was draped in Hanan's arm.

''By,'' Hanan replied quickly. ''Where?'' Shutting down motor. He wanted something to talk to the girl.

''In the cafeteria alone, it looks like the entrance hours are still long.'' Looking at the circular clock in his hand then entered leaving Hanan who was still fixated on staring at his back. 

''Beautiful,'' praise Hanan then park the bike. He is not afraid to talk to Chika because Ayu has allowed it. They remain friends, not girlfriends. 

Hanan sat in front of Chika. Sipping warm tea that has been served in front of him. 

''Yesterday aunt Ayu came home.'' Chika started the conversation. 

''I know, ''' Hanan replied briefly. 

Chika knitted her brows and smiled. 

''Mama has told me. He allows us to relate, but only as friends, right?'' Hanan drank his tea again until it ran aground. 

Chika nodded in embarrassment, even so she still hoped to be a match with the man in front of her.

Hanan took a plastic straw and then put it in a small circle. Then put it on the table. 

''I did not promise to marry you, because that promise is a debt that must be paid, but I will take care of you as my mother asks. We'll be back as usual, but not a girlfriend, just a best friend.''

Hanan grabbed Chika's hand and pinned the ring from the straw on the girl's ring finger. It's not about price, but it's worth it for both. As if a bond that must be maintained at any time.

''Just take this as proof of my loyalty to you.''

Until the bell rings the sign all students must enter their respective classes. Breaking their chat the canteen visitors, including Chika and Hanan.

While in the room, Angga still seduced Ayu to immediately check her pregnancy. I don't know what the reason was, the woman refused his invitation. 

''Are you ready to listen to the doctor's explanation? I'm over thirty-five years old, Mom. And that's what the doctor thinks will be at risk during pregnancy, so I want to be sure of God. I'm sure we'll be given fluency in all matters.'' Convince Angga with his choice.

''Alright, I will consult with the obstetrician later.'' Angga relented, he did not want to make Ayu depressed by his request. Yes, although the intention is just to make sure the condition of the baby, it should not be forced. Ayu already looks scared. 

''Mas.'' Ayu holds the chin of the husband overgrown with a thin mine. 

''Hmm...'' Angga rubbed the head of Ayu covered in white hijab. Kissing her as a sincere form of love. 

''If I were to leave after giving birth, ap_" 

Angga covered Ayu's lips with his five fingers. Stop the woman's speech that will definitely discuss something negative. 

''No one can defeat God's destiny. You'll be fine until we have a grandchild. I love you.'' Back to kiss Ayu. 

''Now you just rest. I'll go to the office for a second. There are clients who want to meet.'' Angga tidied his tie. Take a cell phone and kiss Ayu's cheeks goodbye sign.  

The wave of the hand seemed to bear witness to how hard it was to part with a loved one even if only briefly. It still feels long.

The car drove away from the mansion and his beloved wife. Angga still remembered Ayu's fear of pregnancy at the age of more than thirty-five years. 

Did I talk to the doctor first. 

''Sir, we're going to the hospital!''

Forced Angga will go to the hospital to confirm Ayu's speech. He also wanted to listen directly about the risks as feared by his wife. 

Angga saw doctor Selvi, an obstetrician who is often recommended by Missa. 

They sat facing each other in a cold room but it was hot. Because there is something that disturbs the heart of Angga at this time.

''So your wife got pregnant at thirty-six years old? What child?'' ask Dr. Selvi again. 

''Yes, Doc. Fourth child.'' Angga nodded weakly. There began to be fear that enveloped but he was sure that nothing would happen to his wife. 

Doctor Selvi smiled. 

''Women who become pregnant when they are over thirty-five have a higher risk. You may have problems such as preeclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure. Gestational diabetes, when there is too much sugar in the blood. Miscarriage or stillbirth. But many are safe, depending on lifestyle and history of the disease. There are many other risks I don't mention. May your wife be well. Man can only plan, while God governs all. Do not be afraid of the doctor's prediction if you and your wife are confident in God's provisions.'' 

Angga nodded in understanding. He came out after saying thank you. It was as if those veins of happiness were weakening making him helpless. There are only worries. Worried about what might happen. 

O Allah, protect my wife and children.

Continue to move towards the car. Trying to be sure and not think about the negative considering Ayu who has not had any disease.
