Feud And Love

”Mom is also Father, but it can be helped. As parents, we can bear to see our child being hurt ”

”Youd better try asking Alma carefully, what really happened? Don let Alma keep the problem alone, don stress Alma ”

”Mother will find the right time to talk to Alma. If tonight is not possible father ”

Mr. Mario nodded his head, he could only follow what his wife said. Because it was also late at night, Mr. Mario took his wife to rest.

One week has passed.

Around 09.00 am, Alma was walking in his yard. He also tidy up the flowers that look ugly. Some of Almas neighbors passed in front of the house, they looked at him with disgust.

”Look at that Alma, its a pity her fate is in her life. She is pregnant and her husband is not around. Maybe this is the law of karma because she used to marry without the blessing of her parents ” Said Almas neighbor, her voice sounded very clear. They purposely spoke loudly for Alma to hear.

”Yes, its a pity, first try so he gets married to a rival, maybe his life will not suffer like this. Now the rival is happy with his wife, ” Almas neighbor continued.

Alma glanced while stroking her stomach, she tried to smile even though the reality was bitter.

Meanwhile, the expressions of Almas two neighbors were very uncomfortable to look at. ”Look at him, he pretends to smile. Even though his heart is shattered like broken glass. ”

”Hahaha… Thats right!! Wed better get out of here. Im afraid Ill get unlucky like him ”

”Come on jeng, I also don want to be affected ”

The two neighbors whose mouths were very spicy like cayenne pepper finally left in front of Almas gate. Meanwhile, Alma could only shake his head, if they didn know what really happened, they didn need to talk.

Suddenly Alma whimpered in pain, her water broke. Since this was the first time she had such violent contractions, Alma became nervous. His face looked pale.

”Ouch it hurts!! ” Alma muttered.

He tried to lean back, but his strength didn reach there ”Ouch it hurts… Mom help Alma, Almas stomach feels cramped ” Alma shouted loudly.

Alma was getting weaker, he bit his lip tightly. Luckily Mrs. Yulia came out and saw Alma crawling like a baby.

Mrs. Yulia was surprised, she immediately threw the plastic bucket in her hand ”Alma ” shouted Mrs. Yulia.

He immediately ran and embraced Alma ”Dad please come out ” Mrs. Yulia shouted ”Almas father is having contractions, come out quickly ” Mrs. Yulia called Mr. Mario.

Mr. Mario was also surprised to see Alma, Mr. Mario immediately sought help ”Mom calm down, father will be back soon. We should take Alma to the hospital ” Mr. Mario said in a panic.

They both look very nervous ”Hurry up dad, poor Alma ”

A few minutes later Mr. Mario got a car loan ”Youd better take it slow ” They both hugged Alma to get into the car. It didn take long for them to arrive at the downtown hospital.

City center hospital.

Alma was immediately given the best treatment. ”Its better if mom and dad wait outside. Hopefully the patient and the baby in the womb are safe, ” said doctor Rita.

”I beg the doctor, please save my daughter and granddaughter ” said Mrs. Yulia with all her heart, she held both doctor Ritas hands tightly.

Doctor Rita smiled while giving strength to Mrs. Yulia ”I will try mom. Don forget to pray ”

Mrs. Yulia then let go of her hand, she hugged her husband while crying ”Alma father ”

”Quiet mother! ” Mr. Mario said as he returned his wifes hug.

”Arfha should be beside Alma in this condition ”

”Mom never mind!! Don talk about people who don exist ”

”But dad… ”

”Shhh… Don make matters more complicated ”

Mrs. Yulia was silent, she did not mention Arfhas name again. While Alma is still in the room. He was given an injection of vitamins to make Alma strong.

Alma lay weak and helpless, he looked up at the ceiling, but Almas eyes looked blank. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes. Doctor Rita witnessed this, but he did not stop Alma from crying. Doctor Rita actually feels sorry for Alma.

Coincidentally, Ritas doctor is Almas best friend since childhood, they often have small discussions about marriage problems. Hearing about Almas news in a state like this, made Ritas doctor concerned. He didn even think that Arfha had the heart to hurt Alma.

”Alma you must be strong ” whispered doctor Rita.

Alma remained silent, he did not respond to anything. Doctor Rita has prepared some tools, he asked Alma to get ready.

At the time of giving birth, Alma felt that his life was on the brink. The pain was excruciating, Alma tried to put out his best strength. The more he shouted Arfhas image became clearer.

Alma is like dreaming of giving birth without Arfha. He couldn even believe it was real. He was reminded of Arfhas sweet promise, he was ringing with Arfhas words all this time.

And finally Alma is able to give birth alone, she has proven to the whole world that she is a strong woman.

There was the sound of Almas baby crying, her voice was very distinctive. Mrs. Yulia and Mr. Mario prostrate themselves in gratitude, because their grandson and daughter are safe. He was really very happy, a feeling of sadness mixed with joy made Almas parents proud of Alma.

After the baby was clean, Alma was asked to hug her baby ”Alma, lets see, she is very beautiful. Her face is the same as yours ” said doctor Rita.

Alma smiled while shedding tears, he hugged his daughter. He gave a warm hug, now Alma just realized that love doesn always exist. Now Alma realized, its not good to trust someone too much even if its her own husband.

”Now I understand everything. You are indeed great Arfha, you are truly extraordinary. You have proven who you really are. Losers will forever remain losers. This pain will never be healed, the wound you inflicted is too deep, The disappointment that you have planted is really very painful. I will never ask again about you Arfha. From today on I already consider you dead ” Alma thought while stroking her little daughters back.

Alma tried to bury everything deep. He promised himself never to remember Arfha again. He would never bring up Arfhas name again. Alma will never tell about Arfha to her daughter ever. A mother will do what is best for her daughter.

Doctor Rita sat beside Alma, he tried to give positive energy to Alma ”you are great Al, I am very proud of you ” Praise doctor Rita.

”Thank you doctor ”

”You never change huh, I told you not to call me that ”
