My Teacher's Father My son
if only
Eliza knocked on the door slowly, before long a sound of speech could be heard from inside the fila, slowly the door opened, a middle-aged woman standing right in front of Eliza.
"who's it looking for?" the question is friendly,
"assalamualaikum.." the voice sounded loud, the middle-aged woman was immediately looking for the origin of the sound, the voice was jutting in her ears. the voice she had longed for, all this time, seeing Zidan pushing Anna's wheelchair closer, a happy hue emanated from the faces of the two.
the son who had not come home for many years, now came with a woman, although on the day of their wedding they had met, but the sense of the moment is very different, his son continues to propose, even though on the wedding day they have met, gave him a warm smile.
the middle-aged woman immediately hugged Zidan tightly, the longing that was already unstoppable was dripping out of the eye patch, the clear droplets signifying gratitude and haru, he said, finally the son who had waited a few years was home.
after being content to let go of all the longing burden that had been accumulated over the years, the middle-aged woman glanced at the woman sitting in the wheelhouse, the smile was vividly painted, his happiness multiplies with the presence of a fetus in the body of his daughter-in-law.
but it seemed Anna was too tired, her eyes kept shut.
"pity me, let's bring Anna in" Ningsih said as she opened the door wide.
…
the little girl's eyes slowly opened, her eyes running around to find out where she was now. Anna rose from her sleeping position, her head throbbing, Anna continued to grimace while holding her head.
his bead of eyes found a shadow, he saw Ningsih and Zidan walking towards Anna who was asleep on the bed.
"how good is that?" ningsih asked as her hand held onto Anna's warm head. Anna simply nodded in response.
the weather at the peak was not good, thick fog and drizzling rain hit the last few days, making the peak air temperature becomes very cold, no wonder if Anna has a fever.
"the baby is getting bigger, has the USG not?" ningsih's hand stretched out, rubbing Anna's stomach gently.
since long ago, Ningsih had known the reason why Zidan married Anna, initially Ningsih was disappointed in his son, because he had so much heart to impregnate his own protege.
but now the disappointment turned into a sense of pride and happiness.
his son dared to take responsibility for everything he had done, and the happiness grew even more after rubbing Anna's stomach, where her grandson struggled to grow.
"if at USG is too old, but the gender of the baby is difficult to see" Zidan replied.
"how if you try to use traditional ways, rich ngerujak for example" proposed Ningsih.
"no need, the traditional way is less efficacious" Zidan refused, indeed since childhood Zidan never believed all kinds of myths, according to him the myth was just talk of old people who were less deceived.
"yes, certainly not want, his name is also a child today, they prefer to use technology, and pantes aja Zidan do not want, because he was once thought to be born into a woman" hardi (father of Zidan) answered, while walking closer.
hearing her story made everyone laugh.
but the evil eye lurks the happy family from behind the door, Eliza seems annoyed to see the family happy, I should be there right now Eliza said. maybe if that day her marriage to Zidan was not annulled, Eliza would now be the happiest person.
"if I can't be happy, other people can't be happy either" Eliza murmured softly, a look of hatred emanating vividly from her face.
