Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 90 - How Many Kids Do You Want?
Daddy Gabriel and the others were surprised to see the place where the boy named Dila lived, it was a shabby place, and indeed very far from the mosque.
A small housing that is even far from the store, next to Dila's house there is a pile of garbage that might be sold by Dila's father.
"I'm sorry if we came all of a sudden, sir." Daddy Gabriel said very kindly to Dila's parents who met him, they have also introduced themselves and they are very welcome.
"It's okay, I'm very happy to have an honored guest at our place" Dila's father said, while Dila sat on her father's lap holding a doll.
"Why didn't Zenwa's mother come?" Asked with his cry, Daddy Gabriel smiled, seeing Dila remind him of his daughter who used to love to swaddle spoiled to him as well.
"Mother Zenwa master is having another rush, dear," replied Mommy Firda. Then he spoke to Dila's parents and conveyed their intention of arrival, which of course made Dila's parents shocked and moved.
...
At home, Zenwa was still sitting on the bed while Micheal put his head on his wife's thigh. Both of them scared their fingers, their gazes twinkling, as if emitting a still-hidden light of love.
"So, if you're pregnant, you want a boy or a girl?" Micheal asked as he played Zenwa's fingers.
"I really want a guy, so that later can be his sisters," replied Zenwa who made Micheal's pupils dilate.
"You want more than one child?" He asked half a scream.
"Why are you so surprised? How many kids do you want?" Ask Zenwa.
"I want a 10/" boy/"
"Astagfirulah..."
"In Shaa Allah dong, not astaghfirullah," Micheal's whistle that made Zenwa giggle. "The child is a gift, the more children, the more blessings" he continued.
"Hem, let's just pray, '" Zenwa murmured later.
"Who do you want to call?" Ask Zenwa.
"Daddy, it's late afternoon. Why haven't they come home yet?" He muttered anxiously, even his forehead wrinkled.
"Maybe they still stop by somewhere else, no need to worry" said Zenwa gently.
The frown on Micheal's forehead deepened when he could not contact his father, he tried to contact his mother but along with that, the sound of a car horn made Michael breathe a sigh of relief.
"They've come" said Zenwa. "Why do you look worried? They go together so they'll be fine."
"I know, it's just, Daddy's past won't just leave us alone," said Micheal, his gaze fixed on the ceiling of his room and his memory drifting on the scene a few years ago.
"meaning?" Zenwa asked confusedly. Michael looked at his wife softly.
"5 years ago, I almost killed someone because that person almost hurt Aira" he said.
"Whose people? Father-in-law's enemy?" Zenwa asked and Michael nodded weakly.
"She had a grudge against Daddy, and when Daddy went out alone with Aira, they didn't come home until night and it turned out they were attacked, Aira was hurt and I was really angry, he's my favorite brother."
"So you're also suing them?" asked Zenwa again and again Micheal nodded. "You should just leave the matter to the police, if the person is vengeful, you will get revenge again, yes it will not be finished" he continued.
"The thing is, the police were very slow, it took me days to find the man and since I was upset, yes I searched for myself, and when I found him, it took me days, I almost killed him if Zach hadn't stopped me then."
"Zach who?"
"Zachary Glatzel, Uncle Gio's son and Mini Aunty."
