Although Not Perfect

Although Not Perfect
Likes and sorrows


"Kok I feel like a Kindergarten child." I said as I rolled my eyeballs.


It seems that Reza likens me to Tasya, his only sister.


...----------------...



In recent months I have been eager to compile a thesis, very diligent in pursuing a schedule with a lecturer, doing revisions here and there and focusing on facing the trial.


I want to graduate soon, you know why? Because after graduation, I had managed to seduce Reza to be allowed to work in the cafe with chef Richard.


It has been imagined fun to have new activities, especially chef Richard friendly and humorous, must be at home for a long time learning to cook with him.


O yes, in addition to ngefans as well as people, I also seriously want to learn to cook, I think I'm tired of being the months of mothers who always remind a wife should be able to 3M (Masak, Macak, Macak, Bee).


And now finally, my whole struggle paid off. Today I am with most of the students who have attended the graduation event.


Although it was a bit late, Mas Reza came to give me such a large bouquet of flowers, of course I was really flattered.


"Congratulations Mel.." she kissed me on the cheek and made me blush.


My friends cheered when they saw it. Moreover, Aliya who had just looked at me strangely, as if demanding an explanation from me.


When Reza came to Tasya, his younger sister who had also graduated, Aliya immediately pulled my arm.


"Kok President Tasya's brother is nyium lo all? not mukhrim tau!!! Thank you very much for the flowers, which husband? She's jealous!!”said Alya who repeatedly gave me advice with a tone full of emphasis.


I smiled at him, then called Reza.


"Ah yes, I forgot...Mas Reza here bersentar deh.."my call that made him turn his head.


The man came up to me again and wrapped his arm around my waist.


Of course it makes Alya tick, meanwhile I immediately laughed at his funny behavior.


"Aliya.know ya.ini my husband.." I said with a sigh of laughter when I saw Aliya with a surprised face.


"What aaa!!!" aliya shut her mouth in shock.


"Hai Aliya, congratulations ya.."mas Reza stretched out his hand.


"I.iya president, thank you.."welcome Aliya reached out her hand nervously.


"Hmm..kamu no longer an apprentice student Al. now I'm just the husband of your friend, so no need to hesitate..."


Aliya smiled sweetly and glanced at me…


"Who knows I can work again as your employee, Mr. .." finally Aliya while diving drinking water.


“Oh are you interested in joining? Just send your CV file to HRD..."


Alya screams in joy at Reza's reply. Then he decided to gather with his family.


"So..I also have to send an application to Green Cafe, yes..?"I asked all of you to make an appointment so I could work while studying with chef Richard.


"Can I stop that intention of yours, hmmm?" now he took my hand and walked out of the graduation hall .



The two of us also often stayed at my mother's house to be closer to looking after my father. And like the request of papa who does not want to be hospitalized, we invite nurses and family doctors who always accompany papa.


After struggling with conditions that rise and fall, today papa finally gave up on his condition. In silence, I saw a smile on his lips maybe he was happy to die in the middle of a loving family.


Another case with Mama and Tasya who was incessantly crying beside the man who had been the head of the family.


I saw the gloom also overshadowed the face of Mas Reza, although there was no crying in his eyes, but it was very clear the suffering he felt. He tried hard because now he is the pillar of support mom and her sister. All responsibility is now on his shoulders.


Among the chants of the holy Quran that flowed in the funeral home, relations, neighbors, relatives and relatives came to and from to say condolences.I who was always beside him, could only hold his hand, and was always there, trying to give her strength.


Although there's actually something big I want to tell her. Yet I was still afraid to reveal it, I guess I will wait until this sorrow atmosphere is somewhat reduced.


Yesterday when Reza was out of town, I was shopping for the house I usually do at the end of the month with Reza, and that day I had to do it myself.


At first I took Tasya, but in the middle of the road Adit called him, finally this is where I myself pushed trolly shopping.


When it came to the sanitary napkin rack, my reflexes took it. But immediately I remembered that the bandage that last month had not been used. My heart was pounding and panicking what to do.


May I be pregnant? But why there are no signs of pregnancy that I experienced such as nyidam, nausea, dizziness or tired.


Or did something happen to my uterus that my menstrual cycle was irregular . Between happy and anxious I immediately went to the cashier and ended my shopping event which was actually not finished.


I took a taxi and before I got home, I stopped by the pharmacy and bought two pregnancy tests.


Arriving home, I put my groceries carelessly, then I rushed to the bathroom to answer my curiosity.


After I dipped the test pack, I waited for a while with my heart pounding. I endlessly pray in my heart for the good news to come.


Two blue lines were visible in my eyes. It made me sit with tears because I was happy.


I Wipe my stomach is still flat, is there really a little creature of our baby is growing here. I have to repeat it.


And for the second time, the test pack convinced me by showing two blue lines.


I have to tell him, Reza is the first person to know. But when I called her all I heard was her voice shaking withstanding the crying.


"Amel..papa critical.." the voice across made me stop on the spot.


"Yes.. Allah...are you where mas?"


"I went straight back this morning when mama called .. Now I'm home mama”


"Oh.kalo that I go straight there ya..."


"Yes, be careful..."


Half-run I went down the stairs, but I stopped and felt my stomach when I realized there was something I had to take care of. It seems I have to start being careful with my demeanor.


"Sorry mother, dear, from now on you will always take care of you..."


Although I have not checked with the doctor, I am very sure about the presence of the baby in my womb.


My bike started to go to my mom's house. If only Reza knew I was pregnant, there was no way he would let me ride a motorcycle like this. I've been imagining Reza's mas must be very protective.


At my mother's house, all the close relatives had gathered. I approached Reza who was standing in the corner while crossing. His eyes were empty, I didn't know what I could do to calm his heart.


I rubbed his arm and he looked up and hugged me.
