I'm Not Your Surga's Angel
54. I miss the baby

Mina makes fried bananas for a snack of father and mother who were chatting with Athar in the living room. Because the mother is very fond of fried bananas since long ago until Mina took the initiative to make it.

"Please at the meal father.mumpung still warm," said Mina while allowing her in-laws to eat snacks available.

"Thank you Mina, let's sit down first, you also eat dong." said the mother who also wanted to chat with Mina.

Mina sat down and listened to the conversation.

"There is no sign of the presence of our grandchildren" said Mother surprised Mina until she choked while eating fried bananas.

"Mother.it is all God's secret, we can only try, so far there is no sign of Bun, maybe God has not allowed us to have a baby," athar to Mother.

Mina just fell silent because she couldn't answer anything.

"I'm sorry if your question offends you, you don't mean it.."

"Yes Bun Mina understands, everyone must want the presence of his baby, Mina understands how you feel, but we must be patient first, Bun, maybe God still wants to guide us to prepare ourselves to be good parents for our descendants later" Mina said gently.

That night, while Athar and Dad were still in the mosque, Mommy tried to talk to Mina alone. In the middle room. Mother spoke in a soft tone but it seemed that what she was talking about was very serious.

"Mina.sorry yes son if you are wrong to have spoken like that, but honestly mother does miss a grandchild, no matter it's a boy or a girl's foot, it's a girl's foot, but mom and dad really want to hold a grandchild, it feels like it is the desire of every parent who starts to age like us," said Mommy gently.

"Yes mother..Mina understood, Mina also wanted to have a baby present in this family, but whatever the power of Mina Bun, it all came back to the will of God,"

"Don't be discouraged, son, you didn't mean to offend you and Athar, it's just natural that you ask this because your marriage is almost three months old,"

Mina seems to feel guilty in front of the mother because she has not been able to give grandchildren to her father and mother.

"Mother doain yes, may Mina be entrusted by God to conceive, honestly Mina also wants to have Bun offspring, but Mina tries to believe that God knows the best for Mina, Mina, maybe God has not given because Mina and Athar are not able to be good parents" said Mina who held back her tears.

...*...

As Mina was daydreaming in the room, Athar came to see her. He had just returned from the mosque and immediately met the mina in the room.

"Why do you dream, dear" said Athar and sat down beside Mina.

"Why do we need to see a doctor for consultation, it seems like mother and father really want to fondle grandchildren,"

"Honey.the age of our marriage is still young, it's only natural that we do not have a baby, out there many of whose marriage age has been many years but has not been gifted children,"

"But I.."

"Don't think about it, maybe God has not given us parents, we have to be patient and pray a lot of love" Athar continued while calming Mina.

Mina fell silent and leaned on Athar, trying to obey her husband.

The next day, the,

"Kok went home in a hurry anyway Bun," asked Athar when they were already in front of the house.

"It's not good long time to disturb you boys, besides your mother is afraid to miss the study, mother wants to rush home, last night was on the phone with the mother of the wife," explained Mother.

"Yes Athar, we have to say yes, next time God willing we come here again" said Father before they left.

not to forget before the mother's father left Mina kissed her in-laws' hands as well as Athar.

"We say yes, assalamualaikum," said the father before the car actually runs.

Both of them waved their hands as the car was already running.

The couple was still staring at his parents' car which was getting further and further out of sight.

Now the house is back quiet after the father and mother left. When Athar looked at Mina he felt strange to see Mina who had been daydreaming. He seemed to think of something.

"Darling..kamu why, what's the problem?" athar asked, he stroked Mina's head while looking into her eyes.

"No. I don't pa kok mas, oh yes.we have to go to the orphanage immediately, said Aisha she will confirm whether she approves or not our intention to enter her into the pesantren,"

"Well, we're there now, yeah, I wish Aisha would,"

"He said he would, but he was only worried because the cost was not small, but I told him that he did not need to think about the cost,"

"Yes let me persuade him later, yes" said Athar and the two rushed to the orphanage.

Once there, Athar and Mina chat with Aisha in the back garden of the orphanage.

"How's Aisha? have you decided?" mina asked while holding Aisha's hand.

Aisha was just speechless.Maybe still confused what decision she should take. Of course he felt bad to trouble Athar even more.

"Umi's..Abi.. I actually did not expect far. what Umi and Abi gave is more than enough, I did not expect much more, especially for a good school, pesantren, it must have cost a lot" said Aisha while looking down.

"Aisha.don't think about the cost, your job is to learn, the rest leave it to Abi," Athar said trying to persuade Aisha.

"Yes Aisha.Jut precisely we are happy to see you in a good school, because umi has seen that you really have a good achievement, especially with your Qur'an memorization, because, so umi hope you don't refuse yes, this is for your good dear," said Mina while stroking Aisha's head.

"Abi also will not propose this without reason, Abi already knows that you really really mean in studying," continued Athar while assuring Aisha.

Aisha thought back. He really wanted to continue his schooling in the pesantren. One of them is because he can not stand the bad treatment of his classmates at school.

"All right.I'm willing," said Aisha briefly, she tried to convince herself to take this decision.

"Alhamdulillah," Mina was greatly relieved after hearing Aisha's reply. It feels like he can't wait to see Aisha grow up to be a gentle santriwati.
