Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
Pack Up For Home

Three days passed, and the storm had lasted for more than a week. Even though the weather was bad out there, everything was perfect for both of us. John and I started spending our time getting to know each other better.

Today, the storm passed. We actually want to go home soon. But, the rubble out there completely cut off our access to get out of this house. We could only open the door of the house and stare at the access of our streets that were cut off because there was a tree big enough to fall.

Right now, I was chatting with John on the porch, thinking about how we could get out of this area.

"Accl...."

I suddenly heard the voice of someone calling my name and as I turned around, I, I saw some members of the rescue team cleaning up the debris of the ruins of trees in front of the small house where we were at this time and I also saw Mama running quickly closer towards me with a face that looked so worried.

"I'm fine Ma." I said as Mama hugged me so tightly.

"Oh my God, Mama's sorry baby. Mama should never have put the two of you here alone, I mean, is this mama really that stupid? It's the season for the storm and Mama has advised the two of you to stay here long enough. And when Mama heard about the news about the storm, she panicked. Mamma.... Mama...."

"Mah....!" My words interrupted Mama's speech in a very loud voice so that Mama could realize to control herself Mama compared to what Mama is experiencing right now. "Ma, we're both fine. In fact, we are both much better than before. The storm didn't hurt us." My words lied.

I then took Mama to walk into the house in the living room by leaving the door open.

Frankly, I will not tell Mama about the incident that happened to me at that time when I was hit by a large tree branch caused by the storm. If Mama knew about the incident, Mama would definitely be much more panicked even hysterical as well.

I glanced at the gaze of Mama's eyes which turned out to be watching the ring embedded in my left ring finger.

"Oh so, Mama knows that you and John, you two will definitely be able to get back on good terms again. But this is still very bad, I mean about the weather that is happening out there, it is very dangerous for your safety. Mama was also trapped here with your father once and....."

'Bla... Blah... Blah... Blah...."'

I stopped focusing on listening to Mama's words just because I've listened to the story so many times. Mama has told me so many times about the story where Mama and Papa were caught in such a big storm somewhere when they were both on their honeymoon. At least, I've been listening to that story a lot since I was a kid. And if I can count, maybe Mama has told me about that story about 128 times in my entire life.

'Hahaha, I seem to be overdoing it.'

Now, my eyes are focused on looking at John. I saw him talking to one of the rescuers about something.

John always looks awesome in my eyes. He looked to be staring at me from the end of his eyes and smiling. I felt so warmed up in my heart, that I had never felt that way in a year. And this time, I knew that whatever John and I would go through, especially to get married, everything would happen smoothly soon. I believe in that.

"By the way Adel is, Mama's really sorry for suggesting that you could stay in this place without thinking about the bad things that could happen to you two here." Say Mama again and again.

I can finally focus on listening to Mama say back. In the end I took my eyes off John to look at Mama who seemed to be smiling at me. The smile that emanated from Mama's face, did not look like usual. I saw Mama's smile, it looked like a happy smile. But this time it looked much happier, as if Mama was like a young boy in love.

"What's the matter Ma?" I asked with a smile on my mom.

"You two look so happy and it makes Mama think that maybe getting you both in this place is a really great idea. No matter what happened before." Mama said with a very wide smile on her lips.

I looked at Mama with suspicion. I was thinking about what Mom was talking about.

"What does Mama mean?" I asked confused.

"Adel, this Mama is your Mama and a Mama knows it all." Mom said with a smile on her face towards me.

"Alright whatever. But Mama herself also knew that I was also a Mama of my three twins and I was always proud of that. But I was always confused thinking about how Diamond could take the lipstick I had locked in the drawer. She's always looking for a way to take that lipstick." I said while thinking about my children who have been living with Mama for a few days.

Thinking about all of their pranks, made me laugh so hard. They are all bad kids. I didn't realize that the sound of my loud laughter was inviting the attention of all the rescue workers who were busy working to clean everything up. So did John, he was seen looking at me who was laughing.

"Ma, isn't that what it means to be a Mama, it doesn't mean that we can know everything about our child. Just example me, with the case I said about Diamonds who always carry and store everything. Even Mama herself was also once I jahili until Mama was overwhelmed. And that means that you don't know everything about your son." I said at length.

"All right, it's up to you. Oh yeah, Mama has to go right now. There are many things that Mom will do. You have to meet someone to talk about this and that." Mama said while looking for the car keys in her pocket.

"Alright Ma. Is it all unrelated to me?" I asked Mama.

"Of course not, not if Mama knows everything." Mama said full of question marks and gave me the car keys.

I could only smile when I saw Mama walking out of the house.

"Oh yeah, don't forget to let Mama know when you're going to set the date. Mama certainly doesn't want to miss Mama's daughter's wedding, does she?" Mama spoke again as she walked out the door of the house.

I looked at my mom and smiled. My mother never changed. I sat down on the sofa and looked at all the people from the rescue team who were doing their job and also looked at John with all the things he was doing.

A short while later, after an hour and a half, everyone from the rescue team would leave immediately, once they've all done their job cleaning up the rubble that shuts your way out of this little house.

After Mama's departure, they told John that they would do their job quickly because they remembered that the storm would start again later that night. So they also advised us to leave the house immediately and go to an area that is much safer than the area that was hit by the storm.

John and I are now back in the woods in this little house. We were both still standing on the terrace, staring at the departure of the rescue team.

"So do I have to start packing all our things to get home, or do I not just have to?" I said as John wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed me on my forehead.

"Hmmmm yes, we should be packing soon. But thinking about me being stuck here alone with you, for me this isn't such a bad thing." Said John.

"I know what you mean. But I think that Mama must have told Sofia that we're coming home soon. And Sofia must have told everything to the Moon, Diamonds and Stars. So, I guess we should go home right now. And can't you think about our children? They must all be so happy to hear about our accelerated return." My speech.

" Oh my God.... I haven't seen them all for so long." Said John and ran towards the door of the house at full speed.

"Hey...." My yelling.

I ran after him.

"John, where are you going to run like that?" My speech.

"I want to see my children." John said with a smile.

He ran into the room and then quickly picked up all our belongings, and put them in a suitcase.

I could only stand at the door of the room looking at him with a gaze full of admiration. I then walked into the room, but I immediately felt confused by staring at John's face which seemed to stop packing all the stuff so suddenly.

John then turned around to stare at me sharply.

"What's wrong?" I asked so confused as to think about why he kept looking at me with such a look.

"Adel, have you told your Mama about all this?" John asked in a voice that sounded slow.

I was still confused by the question asked by John. I have absolutely no idea what he means.

John also seemed to understand the obvious confusion from the expression on my face.

"I mean, did you tell your mom that I proposed to you?" Ask John to me, which finally makes me know what the question means.

"Oh, no. But my mom saw this ring." My reply was to look at the proposal ring that John had given me. "Why indeed? Don't you want Mama to know everything?" Reply with curiosity.

"Of course not. It's just all this because when he left earlier, he said something that made me a little confused. And now I can understand what he meant. If he finds out that we're engaged, then maybe we'll be able to spend our nights in a hotel without being disturbed by anyone." John smiled and laughed at me.

"Why is that? What exactly do you mean that? What did Mama tell you?" I asked with worry.

I know that my mom is with all the things she could have done. I could even be frightened by what my mother was trying to do.

"That all seems to have been arranged and completed by your mother. Looks like your mom really wants everything done when we get home." Say John again.

" Oh my God.....!!" Panicked saying. "Mom could've planned something weird." I said with fear.

I also sat on the bed. I then started thinking about everything. Thinking about the possibility of anything Mama had planned about my marriage and John's.

I know very well how Mama's character is. And thinking about the possibilities of what Mama had planned for me, all of those things made me start laughing.

"What's wrong with you? Are you all right?" John asked with a confused face. "You're so weird, you just looked scared, and now you're laughing like that. Just scare me. Are you possessed?" John who doesn't stop babbling.

"Hahahaha.." I just kept laughing, especially after listening to John who thought that I was possessed.

I rubbed the tears in my eyes after stopping myself from laughing.

"I just realized that we are in our twenties, who are already the parents of three twins. But we're still afraid of what my mom's gonna do." I said back laughing.

I looked at John and he started laughing after realizing what I meant.

The next few hours, we spent our time packing all our belongings and not forgetting to clean all the house.

After everything was done, it was time for us to leave the small house. A small house that has given us a place to be able to improve our relationship.

"We'll have to get back here with the kids later." John said when we were in the car. "They would love to be in such a beautiful place." Continue John.

"of course. But remember not to come during the rainy season. I don't want to be caught in a storm anymore, especially when the kids are coming with us." My reply.

"Of course, baby." John then started to start the engine.

The car drove away from the small house that had become a place for us to improve each other.

"I think the house is a suitable place for us to honeymoon after the wedding. The place was so quiet and there were only the two of us. So you're free to scream and I'm free to experiment with you." John grinned at me.

"Basic pervert...." Reply with cheeks that feel red.

Seriate....
