Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
Wedding Preparation

John and I finally got home and were greeted by our three children who looked so happy. It was obvious from the look on their faces that they all missed us so much. Sofia and Justin were there to welcome us. Both seem to be getting closer. I never thought the two of them would look so good together.

That night, too, My mother threw a small party of gratitude because John and I were able to return home and get together with all the families in a state of survival from the storm that occurred almost for more than one sunday at the location where the little house was.

Everyone seemed so happy at dinner with the menu that Mama ordered from a restaurant. I never thought that Mama could manage everything so quickly.

"Oh yeah, Aunt Helen said you two were getting married soon? When is the official, who knows we can get married on the same day." Justin said suddenly on the sidelines of us who were chatting in the living room after dinner was over.

John and I looked at each other and could only smile.

"You guys go first." Reply relax.

Actually, John and I had planned everything about our wedding while we were in the little house. But as for the exact date, we haven't been able to determine it yet. Given that John and I are both still busy with the business of college, let alone we will both face the test. Moreover, John who will soon start taking care of the thesis as his final task before finishing his studies.

"Why is that? Don't you want to see the kids happy?" Sofia.

I glanced at the children who were playing accompanied by Mama in their playroom located next to the living room.

"What kind of question is that." John spoke suddenly with a voice that sounded annoyed. "We want them to be happy. But you know for yourself both Adel and I are still busy with our lectures. After all, getting married cannot be done without careful preparation. So, it can not be immediately called to marry what date before all the plans are completed." John with a sad face.

"Yes-yes, I understand. Why are you so angry like that? We're just asking." Reply Sofia.

I just smiled and rubbed the back of John's hand that had been holding tightly one of mine.

"If you two are already ready, please get married first. We could catch up later." My speech.

After that, we all continued our conversation.

A few days later, John and I began to seriously discuss our marriage with the whole family involved. John's parents and his sister Olivia were delighted to hear the news that we were getting married. After so long I didn't hear from Olivia, I was finally able to get back in touch with her and even get to meet her.

I know what Olivia did all this time by avoiding me just because she knew how John, her brother, thought I was cheating on her, made her leave me. After knowing everything, Olivia apologized to me. He also took part in giving ideas in the concept of my marriage and John.

Marriage is a dream for most people. Some prepare for the big day in advance with careful preparation. But there are also weddings that are carried out with short preparation time for various reasons. If the wedding is done with only 2 months preparation, it may fall into the category of short wedding preparations, including me one of them.

John and I agreed to speed up our marriage, although we were both still busy with our lecture schedules, especially John who would face the script exam. I initially asked him to just rewind his schedule until he was done with the script. But John kept on assuring me that we could get through it together.

"Adel, the soul mate is a mystery, like a sustenance that often comes at unexpected times." Mama said when I told Mama that John had decided our marriage to accelerate.

John asked us a month later to get married. But because I wasn't ready, so I asked to be pushed back the next month. We both finally agreed.

Deciding on the date of the wedding turned out to be much more complicated than we thought. When we agreed to determine the date, it turned out that the date changed again. We did not expect Sofia and Justin had secretly decided to get married and they decided to get married on the same date. It was finally the language of our friends. And it turns out that most of them decided to go to our wedding, maybe all the way to our hometown.

John and I thought, if most of us come to our wedding, pity Sofia and Justin. We finally renegotiated, even though John protested at first.

"Why should we give up and change the wedding date we have set?" John's protest to me.

"Dear baby, I'm not feeling good about Sofia. After all, she's been the most valuable person to me for helping me take care of the kids as long as I'm busy on campus." I told John to try to make him understand.

In the end, we both agreed on the date of the wedding to be advanced a week earlier than the previous date.

...****************...

One month passed, which we prepared only about thirty percent and in preparing the preparations that John and I often disagree and even disagree on the slightest problem. From the design of the invitations to the design of the guarantee, it left me quite a headache and often confused. Not only with John alone, even with Kak Gea who came to help to take care of the children in the midst of the complicated wedding preparations, he said, I often had disagreements with her that had nothing to do with my wedding preparations.

From there I thought, maybe this is what many people often say.

"If you want to get married, there will be many temptations!"

Today, there are only two weeks left of our wedding preparations are close to seven percent. But that's how our days are, there are still many disagreements even though not for days.

I'm actually the kind of person who doesn't want to be hard. I want a simple marriage actually. Even had a moment in my mind, what if my marriage and John were only limited to agreement. The recipe is simple and for the family only. But what power, it turns out reality is not as simple as I think. John is the only son and the first child in his family. Finally I had to put aside my wishes and decided there was a reception party according to the input of all the families.

To be honest, when I was in high school, I always wanted and really wanted to realize a luxurious wedding like Disney Princess.

'Hahaha, maybe all women while still innocently imagining such a thing.'

Unfortunately I was still innocent at that time, do not know how complicated the wedding preparations. Now I know how hard and dizzy it is to prepare for marriage. And not applying my dream marriage when college is okay, the important thing is that this marriage is done.

Determining the concept of marriage and looking for wedding clothes, make up, catering and others with a time of two months it was very mepet once. Bridal dress up many times change the concept, I've matched but John does not, not to mention my mother and John's parents.

When it comes to our parents' business, it's all the most confusing, because we don't want our parents to be disappointed. John and I thought that all the spending could be all of us. We both do not want to burden both parents, even though marrying a child is the responsibility of both of our parents. Honestly, I actually got dizzy organizing this wedding budget, the savings I have are not large in number, especially considering my savings that I have been using for the cost of my three children.

Not only the concept of marriage, small things if only we put our egos first will each end in a fight. Small things like deciding on a souvenir had a storm, but I finally relented and chose John's choice.

Maybe others often feel the last days before the wedding - there are events. Starting from the sudden a woman who claimed to be John's ex-girlfriend who suddenly came. It was as if their story had not been completed, even though from John's version their story had been completed a long time ago.

I was so nervous and even scared of the ending because John's ex was more than me. She is more beautiful, fashionable, her body is better, from the family and many other things.

"John was sleeping with me and he promised to marry me long before you came into his life." Say that sexy woman.

The woman secretly came to see me when she was alone at home, while Mama was busy with work, Sister Gea also had other business. John was taking the kids to the supermarket.

"Sorry Miss, I don't know who you are and I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but I don't care. Because now John is with me, so let it be his past." I relax.

The woman continued to babble at the door of the house. I don't know where he got my real home address because it's a long way from the city where we were studying.

"Heh, just so you know. I've even dropped my womb twice for John the son of a bitch. Do you still want to marry a guy like him?" Said the woman.

To be honest, my heart felt so sick listening to the confession of this woman before me. I just kept thinking is it true about what he said? Did John really have the heart to allow a woman to abort a baby who is her own child?

Not stopping there, the woman then pulled out her phone and showed a photo between herself and John who was kissing lips on the edge of the pool. The woman appears to be wearing a bikini while John appears to be bare-chested.

My chest felt tight and my eyes began to heat up. I tried to hold back so that I wouldn't drop my tears in front of this woman standing in front of me. But she seemed to know that I was holding back my tears, her lips were grinning.

"Listen to me again. Leave John, and let him marry me. I was ruined by him anyway. You still deserve a much better man than him." Said the woman again with a grin.

Suddenly from the back of the woman, the figure of John who was walking hand in hand with our three children.

"Papa hurry." Star Saying.

The Moon and Diamond were running in the front yard, followed by the Stars running and they were all screaming for me.

"Mamaaaa....." Shouted them all.

I looked at the woman's face which seemed to have turned confused. Especially when his gaze looked at John who was carrying a lot of grocery bags containing food and toys for children

"Mama... Mamma... Papa bought us lots of toys." Diamond said after approaching towards me who was still standing at the door.

"Yes, Mama." Connect Moon. "Papa also bought us a lot of snacks." Further.

While the last Star arrives, it gazes at the woman claiming to be John's ex-lover. The stars kept staring at the woman, and somehow her eyes seemed to show hatred towards the woman.

"Who is this Aunt? Mama's new friend huh?" Ask Stars.

I fell silent and looked towards John who had arrived before us. John's face looked surprised as he looked at the woman. The woman gave John her sweetest smile.

"Kids, come in. Mama will prepare your snacks." My speech.

The three children then ran into the house. While I snatched the bag of groceries in John's hand violently.

"Please get your business done." I said and went inside the house and closed the door violently.

My feelings were uncertain thinking about everything. Fortunately John turns out not to waver from his intentions and solve his problems with his ex. If only I hadn't stood my ground, this would have annulled our marriage. I don't want to go over everything and accept everything and assume it's just something John's past. If I see one bad thing and don't see a thousand good things, it's not fair.

Every man has a past, and he wants to change for the better. I am not a perfect person, I have many shortcomings.

Finally, after going through various things, on the agreed day, we married legally and religiously.

Marriage is not the end of a love story but the beginning of a true love story. The union of two different people, certainly not as easy as uniting both hands. Differences of opinion and perspective must exist, as long as we want to discuss and do not prioritize each ego. Problems can be solved along with talking using the heart and want to get to know the personality of the couple. Until now I thought John was a life friend and a sharing friend.

'I love you John....'
