When Marriage?
47# Looking for Raline

Fandy was in Tokyo for two days. Today he took his first flight to Canada. Ever since he was on the plane his heart has been pounding. The sense of impatience will meet with Raline mastering his heart and mind.

Fandy is very sure, if the child who is Raline bladder is the fruit of his love with Raline. But he still did not understand why Raline hid the pregnancy to him.

"Ah...Raline, you're making me even more crazy..!"

Fandy Mumbled. The plane began flying out of the sky of Tokyo. It took a long time to get to Canada, Fandy had to be patient on that plane.

Fandy could not even close his eyes. His anxiety and longing peaked in his mind. It made him seem very nervous.

Since morning, Fandy junior feels more active than usual. Raline, who was on campus, smiled as her baby continued to move and kicked her belly from the inside.

"Junior is calm, we'll be home soon"

Raline said to her distended stomach. But the baby she was carrying looked so excited today. Raline simply shook her head and smiled then she rubbed her stomach gently.

"Hey.. honey, what's wrong with you?"

Raline spoke to her future baby again.

"Why?"

Tanya Welas a friend of Raline's campus who also comes from Indonesia.

"My son, he won't shut up"

Raline said with sparkling eyes.

"Your son is that smart boy, when's the HPL?"

Ask Welsh again.

"Front month"

Raline answered excitedly.

"Gue can't wait to be Aunty"

Say Welas while gently rubbing Raline's stomach. Raline smiled looking at Welas.

That afternoon Raline went home to the apartment with a face that looked very tired. Raline's mother looked at Raline worriedly.

"Line, shouldn't you take a day off first while waiting for your child to be born?"

Said his mother who was making tea for Raline.

"No Ma, Raline's fine"

Raline said with a smile.

"But your health and your baby's more important Line"

"Already Ma, Raline wants to graduate soon and return to Indonesia. So Raline can't stall Ma's time"

Raline who stubbornly tried to give understanding to his mother.

"Yes, the important thing is that you're sure"

Said his mother to Raline. That night they had dinner together at home. Raline spent two dishes of rice and chicken soup made by Mama. Mama and her father Raline smiled at their son who was so fond of eating dinner that day.

After dinner, Raline fell asleep in her room. Raline's mother looked at her sleeping son.

"Mom knows you still love Fandy, and if Fandy knew about your pregnancy. Surely Fandy will be happy and will accompany you during difficult times like this"

Mama Raline muttered while gently stroking Raline's hair.

"Mama pray that all good will accompany you son"

Mama Raline muttered again. Then he gently kissed Raline's forehead and then fixed her daughter's blanket. Raline's mother moved from Raline's room and turned off the lights to make Raline sleep better.

Fandy's plane arrives at Quebec's Jean Lesage International Airport. Fandy rushed out of the airport. He went straight to the hotel which had been booked by his secretary.

After arriving at the hotel, Fandy immediately took a bath and took a short break while searching for university information in Quebec. After lunch at the hotel, Fandy did not want to waste his time. He asked the driver he had hired to take him to universities to look for Raline.

He attended three universities, but the results were nil. No one knows Raline. But Fandy was not desperate. He continued to search for Raline from university to university.

It was late in the afternoon, but Raline had not yet found it. Fandy was sitting on the bench of a park at one of the universities he had just visited.

Fandy drives away his fatigue by straightening his legs that feel sore.

A woman, who was seen coming from Indonesia, passed in front of Fandy. Fandy greeted the woman.

"From Indonesia?"

Ask Fandy to the woman. The woman also hesitated.

"Hi, I'm Fandy Rudiono. I am looking for someone who is from Indonesia as well. He went to college in Quebec, but I don't know exactly where his college is. Do you know the woman in this photo?"

"Whose name is it?"

Ask the woman to Fandy.

"Raline, do you know her?"

Ask Fandy enthusiastically.

The woman looked at Fandy with a gaze that tried to judge the man before her.

"Are you ready Raline?"

Asked the woman with a probing look.

"Sa. sa. I'm her husband"

Said Fandy stammeringly. The woman looked at Fandy in disbelief.

"Ka, are you the father of her baby?"

Fandy was silent for a moment then he nodded quickly.

"Yes, I'm the baby's father. Do you know where she lives?"

Ask Fandy to the woman. The woman was silent, she was at a loss as to what to say.

"Is it better that I ask Raline first?"

Mumbled the woman.

"Hmmmm. Let's put it this way, how tomorrow you come back here and meet the person directly"

Fandy looked at the woman closely.

"But he actually went to college, right?"

Ask Fandy to make sure.

"Yes"

The woman replied short.

"If you can tell, whose name are you? and can I have your phone number for me to call tomorrow, when I come to this college again?"

"My name is Welas, well you can record my mobile number"

Weld Speech. Fandy enthusiastically recorded the mobile number mentioned by Welas.

"Thank you, I'll come back tomorrow"

Fandy said, with an expression so relieved.

"I'm sorry, if I may know. Why don't you accompany Raline in her difficult times?"

Ask Welas to the point.

"Raline what story?"

Fandy asked with his frown.

"Raline never told me anything, but her face paints her pain all along. As a woman, I can feel her suffering. She had to fight alone while pregnant"

Welas. Fandy was silent and lowered his head.

"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

Ask Fandy to Welas.

"Of course, if you don't mind"

Welas said, Fandy smiled and then took Welas to a cafe not far from the campus. They ordered two cups of coffee and a small meal at the cafe.

"So, how's the story?"

Tanya Welas, opened the delayed conversation earlier.

Fandy began to tell about the beginning of his meeting with Raline, until the end of their separation. Welcoming can see the sadness in Fandy's eyes. Actually what Fandy felt was exactly the same as what Raline felt.

Welas tried to understand the problem that Raline and Fandy faced. She did not expect that third-party selfishness was what led them to divorce, and Raline had to suffer from maintaining her pregnancy alone.

Welas is determined to help Fandy meet with Raline. Before they parted, Welas made his promise to Fandy to bring the two long separated hearts together.

It was done for the sake of the child who was Raline's bladder. Unbelievable if Raline had to face childbirth alone. welas was well aware, however deep in Raline's heart, the woman was in desperate need of Fandy.
