Suddenly a Husband
Three Daughters

Since Caca's presence at home, Yohana is excited again. He really turned into a cheerful wife and mother. Always meet our needs without complaining. Seeing Yohana now makes me relieved, at least there has been someone to treat his wounds after losing two nephews even though every night I always watched him cry after prayers while praying for the safety of Upik and Puti.

It is only natural that Joanna still weeps over the two children because they are her nephews. Their existence until now is not known, Johana also cried when praying alone. After that he will try to be ordinary, so as not to change the atmosphere of the house. Focus on our little family.

Caca himself, since the first day of living here was never awkward, like an ordinary girl who had a spoiled side but also always pleased our adoptive parents. It really is a medicine for us. How tiring to face the work that continues to accumulate but feels back lightly when coming home and playing with Caca.

He has now started to be able to walk, although still need to hold on to objects around him because Caca is not yet perfectly able to support his weight. But the little girl is still eager to undergo therapy. I deliver on holidays always fascinated by the spirit of this child. He always meant it every time he had a therapy session.

"So soon Caca will be able to walk." Yohana said excitedly.

"Aamiin." I couldn't help but look at the little girl's spirit. It's actually so amazing, it's like a little johana full of spirit. His shortcomings were no hindrance to him moving forward. And sure enough my guess, now the little girl started to let go of her grip and walked slowly. One, two, three steps. Finally he walked towards Johana. The girl tightly hugged the woman who had now become her adoptive mother.

"Good boy, smart boy, strong boy. Mother knows you can!" yohana said, while peeping her forehead. The mother and son were dissolved in the heat. Their efforts so that Caca could walk finally succeeded as well. As a supporter, I am happy too.

The doctor who handled Caca also expressed his rapid progress. Like a miracle because children with history seems to usually take years, even when they are able to walk still leaving a mark with once gamang or fall. But not with Caca, he can be like he's never been sick before. Yohana is very painstaking in taking care of Caca, in addition to therapy in the hospital, she also routinely treats Caca himself.

"Honey, now Caca's development has been good. Are you really not interested in raising another child. Do you remember the baby we originally wanted to adopt? He's still in the orphanage, he might as well be our soul mate. It doesn't seem like a problem if we take care of two adopted children. Economically we're still capable and lovingly I'm sure you can get enough of it." I said, when we got back from the hospital.

"No. Enough Caca. I want to focus on him. We don't have just one child. There is Upik and Puti as well. They'll still be our foster kids when they meet, won't they?" Yohana looked at me to see if I was still consistent with my opinion at the time.

"Yes of course. Upik and Puti will be Caca's sister." I said, rubbing Yohana's head until she smiled with relief. "When the two of them meet, we'll take him and stay here." I pledge.

Yohana screamed and cried. I was cool with a laptop directly approached him who was asleep. It's the second night he had a dream, it must have been a nightmare. I don't know what his dream is, but like the suggestion that it is forbidden to tell our nightmares, so Yohana kept it.

"There's no news at all, honey. Patience yes. I'm still trying to find them." I said, persuading Yohana to calm down, but it seems like my efforts failed.

Yohana this time will not be silent. He took me out to find the two children. Of course I was a bit strange because Upik and Puti were lost in Sumatra, but he asked to look for them in Jakarta. But because I want to calm Yohana's heart, that's why I just come along. Travel around Jakarta until early morning.

"Where are they? If something bad happens then I won't forgive myself." Yohana said, as we stopped near Monas.

"Don't blame yourself like that Han, we've invited the children to come along, but those who refuse and we can't force the will." I said, trying to calm her heart.

"No dear. They're still kids. We should have made the decision for them, not just resigned." Yohana. "Darling, do you know where the localization is here?"

"What's talking about that for?" I tried to understand Yohana's intentions, hoping it wasn't what I thought.

"Come on, I feel ...." Yohana looks confused. He looked to the left right, then back to his own confusion.

"Han, don't think negatively. Remember, they are children. After all they are missing in Sumatra, why also get there. Never mind. Let's just go home, sorry Caca if she wakes up and doesn't see us both at home she must be very worried." I said, persuading Yohana to go home, but she remained silent.

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let the kids in there. I should have accompanied him. Should ...." Yohana turned on herself again. I was really confused to face. Especially at night approaching the early hours, sleepy eyes, tired body. Luckily, Ami called, telling her that Caca was crying for her mother. Hearing that, Yohana immediately moved to take me home. He could not bear the sound of his son's cries. Seeing that made me think, what plan God is preparing for us, Johana who has a motherly soul so big but destined not to have children.

***

As the days passed, Yohana still could not forget her grief over the loss of Upik and Puti. Even so, there was Caca who became a liver medicine for him. The little girl could always make Yohana smile again and excitedly move on with life.

I am very grateful for his presence which although not born of both of us but can always be the medicine of our hearts when the lara approached. But even so I also did not lose my hand, continuing to look for the two children. Each month also does not forget the obligation to the orphanage, channeling our alms in the hope of finding Upik and Puti in good condition.
