Quarter Century Duda
Prayer Behind the Laughter

Returning from the Hospital, Tendean's father felt very relieved to find the condition of his wife and fetus in good health. Previously, Tendean's father had been anxious and worried. However, after everything was in good shape, it felt like there was nothing that Tendean Father was afraid of. The important thing is that he will always pay attention to his wife and do his best.

"Lega, Mommy .. You and our baby are healthy," said Tendean's father.

"Yes, Mas. All this is also because you are super good and super considerate," replied Mother Dianti.

Tendean's father smiled faintly. Now in their bed, Tendean's father's hand rubbed his wife's stomach slowly. "It is important to keep fitness. Suck drunk. Sports, and also not a lot of strange thoughts. It seems, if all that you have done, nine months of pregnancy can certainly pass well. Stay later to prepare for delivery only," said Tendean's father.

As a wife of course Mother Dianti is very happy to be noticed by her own husband. However, also during this time her husband was indeed a good figure and attention. Especially when she was pregnant, Tendean Father felt more and more attention to her.

"If the heavy thoughts are not, Mas. Blessed with a good husband, a good son like Anaya, a good daughter-in-law like Tama. Keep having three cute grandchildren. What else am I thinking? There aren't. My life towards the age of twilight was just overflowing God with goodness," replied Mother Dianti.

According to Mother Dianti, now God blesses her with kindness. When he was heading for twilight, he had what family was all about. When she was about to head five, she felt what it was to have a husband. His mind and heart were calm as well.

"God is fair, Mother. Used to live alone, and now God is endowed with goodness. Who would have thought also, we who are this twilight, God believes in the offspring again. Alhamdulillah right?" reply Daddy Tendean.

"Yes, really grateful, Mom. When we leave, it is Allah that is Ridhoi. Maybe God also knows times well, I've aged, towards head five. So, a month after marriage, immediately pregnant. Who knows, God will trust me to care for and raise our children. We are both blessed by God with long life" replied Mother Dianti.

"Amin .. May God bless us with a long life. So that we can take care of and raise our children later. Even though age is entirely a divine secret. However, we can ask," replied Tendean's father.

Now Mother Dianti nodded her head. Agree with what her husband just said. Age is a divine secret. However, man can pray and ask that he be blessed with a long life.

"Mas, next week to the Orphanage want to? It has been a few weeks I have not met the children," Mother Dianti asked her husband.

"May, it is important not to be tired and do not be fatigued first well. Keep the pregnancy," said Tendean's father.

Limas remind that when in Orphanage later do not be tired and do not have to hold the children first. The stomach should not be depressed. Therefore, Tendean's father warned him first.

"Byeah, I also thought to invite Citra. Apparently you were the one who spoke first," replied Tendean's father.

"I just want to introduce Citra to the unlucky kids. While the image was lucky. She has a great Mom and Dad. May Citra someday also have a heart that wants to share like Mama and Papa. Sensitivity can be trained from small," said Mother Dianti.

Yes, in psychology it is said that sensitivity can be trained and familiarized. That way the heart can move by itself. If, it has been trained and familiarized, without being asked someone can react by itself.

"Really, Mother. Duh, so dinget first when Anaya was the age of Citra, she often cried every time she went home from school. Feeling like you have no mother. As his father who was a widower, yes I feel guilty. However, I trained Anaya that not having a mother was not a mistake. He has a Father who has as much affection as a Mother. From that moment on, Anaya did not cry. He feels his father is the greatest. It's sad to remember when Anaya was little," Tendean's father later told.

Mother Dianti smiled, she clasped her husband's hand. Put a swab on the back of her husband's hand. "May we grow old and whiten our hair, God gives many gifts of happiness yes, Mas," said Mother Dianti.

"Amin .. that was also what I expected," replied Tendean's father.

Tendean's father looked at his wife's face for a moment. He approached and put a kiss on his wife's forehead. "Healthy until delivery later yes, Mother. I will always accompany you. Hopefully there will be no bad luck later. We can age together, until our hair is completely bleached" he said.

Of course, Tendean's father's speech was set against the background of having lost when his first wife was not saved after giving birth to Anaya. Now, Tendean's father multiplies the prayer, may there not be a bad day in his life. His desire to age together with the Blessed Mother will be answered by God.

"Amin, Mum. May God hear the request of our hearts well," he replied.

"It's been 12 weeks, Mother. Soon it will add weeks and months. Can't wait to see you with your stomach popping. Baby bump's. I had imagined that you would be even more beautiful" said Tendean's father.

"You could have, Mom. It's a long time."

The couple who were no longer young laughed. Imagine each other. However, behind the laughter lies prayer and the desire to be able to string the old day together. Tucked away hope, that this time there was nothing separate and separated. May God hear the voice of both hearts.
