BDJ 111: THE STRUGGLE OF TWO FATHERS
For a man who has never previously been in a special relationship with any woman, Nathan tries his best to be the ideal partner for Alea. Nathan also knows Alea has never been in a special relationship with any man, so he tries to meet his wife's expectations about the man he chose as a couple. Especially now that they have entrusted 3 hearts from the Divine.
As a husband who wants to be a husband on standby when his wife is pregnant, Nathan wants him to always be with his wife. However, given his work as an aviator, it is rather difficult to realize such a desire. You know for yourself that an aviator can go months because of work. Nathan wanted his wife to go with him, work, and travel the world. Unfortunately the idea had to be rethought, as Alea was currently taking three lives with her.
Young gestational age is very susceptible to miscarriage. Nathan did not want that bad thing to happen to his wife and future children. It is better to work alone as usual, provided that the wife lives safely and comfortably at home.
“Great sleep, Zaujati (my wife).”
Nathan spoke softly after dropping a kiss on his wife's forehead. The woman had just fallen asleep after her desire to listen to her husband chant the song Rahmatan lil ‘Alameen owned by Maher Zain was fulfilled.
Instead of lying down and sleeping, following the wife to the island of Kapok, Nathan instead moved. A phone suddenly came in. The vibrations from the object have been heard several times. There must be something very important.
“Halo.”
“….”
Not wanting to make the wife disturbed, Nathan finally chose to step aside to the balcony area to receive a call.
“Yes. Please describe in detail.”
“….”
Nathan listened with information from his right hand. It turned out that there was indeed important information that his right hand wanted to convey, related to work issues.
After the phone call was over, Nathan was able to digest it.
The problem is that Nathan is asked to be active again at the airline, if not so take a leave of absence for the honeymoon. Although Nathan is the CEO of a family company based in New York and Jakarta, he remains listed as one of the pilots who must serve the airline in accordance with ongoing counter-work.
Nathan became distraught himself, because on one hand he still wanted to be next to his wife to accompany him through the early pregnancy. However, on the other hand his presence was also necessary. The only person Nathan could ask for help right now was his own sister. Although Gean also had high flight hours, at least he was still reliable. Another problem, Gean will also soon have a marriage. He will definitely ask for the relaxation of flight hours on the airline.
“Astagfirullah.”
Nathan took a small stand while wiping his pitch-black mane. It feels hard to make a decision.
“Mas.”
Hearing the wife's soft voice, Nathan turned around and went back into the room. “Why are you awake, Zaujati (my wife)?”
“Mas not sleeping?”
“There was a call from the company,” Nathan replied while taking a sitting position next to his wife. “Sleep again. There is still one hour and forty minutes left to prayer time Ashar.”
“Mas don't want to sleep?”
Nathan smiled faintly. Gone was fretting in his chest cavity when he saw the wife's shady face. “Mau.”
Alea smiled faintly, then glanced at the empty space beside her. Without saying much, Nathan then moved from his seat. Join with his wife. Fill the empty space next to his wife.
“Sleep.”
“Iya, Mas.”
“Rasulullah Shalallahu Alaihi Wasallam advised, do not sleep before doing four things, namely...”.
Alea jacked up when the husband made her lie down with the sturdy arm pads of the handsome man. “First, reciting the letter of Al-ikhlas three times, then the reward is the same as reciting the Quran. Second, chant the sholawat to the Prophet three times. Third, read Istighfar three times. Fourth, reading 'Subhanallah wal hamdulillah wala ilaha ilahu wallahu akbar' is like having performed hajj and umrah.”
“Masya Allah, that's right,” Nathan said as he dropped a kiss on his wife's forehead.
Moments like this are what Nathan hasn't wanted to miss. They just got married, not even a month. It was not enough togetherness that they missed, plus now Alea was also pregnant young. It's hard for Nathan to get back into the world of work that's so magnetic. If he comes back soon, either he can split the time for work in the office, airline, and for his small family or not.
I don't know. Maybe Nathan should ask Him for guidance first to be facilitated in making a decision.

“Now you eat a lot, yes?”
The question that was accidentally asked by his mother, managed to make a man who was enjoying kimchi fried rice or kimchi fried rice was choking great. The mother who saw it certainly did not remain silent. He immediately thrust a glass of water to relieve the throat of the son who must feel painful.
“Pedas?” tanyanya worry. Seeing the face of the son turning red, he felt guilty. “Mau eomma get full cream milk?”
“Sorry, dear. Because of eomma, you get choked.”
Louis shook his head while smiling faintly. “Not wrong eomma.”
Nata still felt guilty because as a result of the question just now, the son choked. Though it is okay if the son recently ate a lot. That's even better, rather than a hunger strike as Lea disappeared early on. In addition to food, Louis also sometimes wants sweet foods that are fairly difficult to find. Even so, there is a Jack who is always ready to look for.
“Lately there has been something strange about me, eomma.”
“Means?”
Louis leaned his back against the back of the chair. “Come, eomma. I think I have syndrome.”
“Syndrome?” shocked Nata. “You sick, baby? Why didn't you say same to eomma??” rhetorical question.
Louis had recently stopped by the house, because he said that if he stayed at the Penthouse too long, he remembered Lea. Louis spent more time outside the home. Sometimes he works overtime, sometimes also down directly review projects in the field. He often stopped by his parents' house. There he can play with Lucas, or Blossom.
“What has eomma heard of couvade syndrome?”
Nata nodded. “Sympathetic pregnancy?” he looked at the son with squinting eyes. “The condition is usually experienced by a man, if his partner is pregnant. Sympathetic pregnancy or couvade syndrome itself is a problem that occurs in a man, when his partner is pregnant then he will experience pregnancy symptoms.”
Louis was listening to his mother. Right enough. He also had time to find out through healthpedia, even had asked directly to the doctor.
“Then, what does this have to do with you?”
“I guess ...I'm experiencing that, eomma.”
“Do not joke!” nata's tone rose by an octave hearing the son's words. “Mana maybe you have couvade syndrome, while you do not have a wife, or a lover who is pregnant.”
Realizing that the mother was beginning to suspect, Louis again straightened his back. Both hands he moved to the table, with the elbow position as a pedestal. “Louis has Lea, eomma. The opposite is true.”
“Don't say...”
Louis nodded. Assume whatever the first prejudices that arise in the head of the mother.
“How can you, son? Then ... Now where is Lea? Why don't his parents know where Lea is??” ask Nata rhetorically.
“My bank is in a safe place, eomma. She's doing just fine. Same with our baby.”
Nata did not believe the fact that the son had just revealed. However, if that is the truth, then why is the son still relaxed here? There is a woman out there who is carrying her seed.
“Perhaps if the information I get is accurate, currently our baby is twelve or thirteen weeks old. Jack said, a baby of that age is only as big as an orange fruit weighing about 15 grams.”
When explaining, the look of a happy face implied on the face of his son. Nata is blind. He could see genuine affection in Louis's eyes. Though his son is typical of people who drink expression and stingy share affection. So why would his son let Lea fight alone?
“I also really want to approach them, eomma. At first I was hesitant and disappointed, because I knew the news of the pregnancy from the bajing*n Nicho who had been obsessed with sleeping with my woman. Later Jack managed to gather a lot of evidence, including evidence that I was the biological father of the baby my woman conceived.”
Nata began to move in a sitting position in front of the son. Not much different from his son who also displayed such a desperate expression.
“Now all I can do is give him time to think. If the situation and conditions are more likely, I will approach him soon.”
Nata looked at the son with great aim. He did not expect that the story of the past would repeat itself. Father and son both hurt the woman they really love. However, in that way they can finally bond with each other. He then spoke with a view that could not be separated from his son.
“Eomma just asked for one thing.”
“….”
“Please don't be selfish. Whatever Lea will take as a final decision, please respect her decision. Including if Lea does not want to connect with you again, even if there is an intermediary in the form of children between you.”
Hearing the eomma's words, Louis immediately felt his world was about to collapse.
