Dumped for Pregnant Girls
The Obstetrician

A week had passed, but Refano did not return home. Though today is her schedule of pregnancy control to doctorvdan Refano has said will accompany her control to the doctor while doing ultrasound. But until the afternoon, Refano did not reveal the trunk of his nose.

At first Zafira is ordinary, even tend not to care. So did his children who since the day that Refano did not come to the event at the school Regina, not even contact at all, since then his children seemed numb to his biological father. They don't care at all. Not even asking for his father's whereabouts. They have been too sick to always be ignored. Many even thought they were orphans because Refano had never appeared to anyone, let alone acknowledged Regina and Refina as his children. How does anyone know, even today Refano has never published Zafira as his wife. He also never appeared together anywhere and anytime. People who knew Refano thought the man was still single, even though Refano was married and had 2 children, even already wanted 3, but only the people closest to him who knew.

Because Refano had not returned for a week, Zafira also ventured to contact Refano. Actually he could have asked Liliana, but it felt free. Instead of the exact answer he got, it was the caci maki, scorn, mockery, and swearing that he got.

The first, second, third calls have not yet been lifted. Though the sky had begun to show a tinge of orange, the time of the appointment of the obstetrician was almost up, but Refano had not yet raised his call.

"Mama, what's the mama again?" regina asked after closing her tablet screen showing the piano playing of the world-famous pianist.

"Oh, that, mama wants to call papa, but ... "

"Why not pick up your mom's call?" cut Regina. "Gapain the hell ma phone papa, papa just no longer care about us," added Regina with her flat face. It seemed like Regina's patience limit had been completely exhausted. If usually he is the first to noisier ask the existence of the father, this time he feels indifferent and questions for what his mother contacted people who never considered their existence at all.

"Honey, that can't be. Anyway, papa is Regi and Refi's papa, so Regi must still respect papa no matter how papa treats us."

"Regi is tired, ma. Regi is tired. Regi did not expect papa dear Regi anymore. Let it be, people also recognize Regi orphans so all Regi considers Regi has no papa during this time also Regi just same mama and Refi. Mending became an orphan, clearly he had no more papa. Than having papa, but like an orphan."

Zafira was stunned as she listened to Regina's words. Even the 6-year-old boy prefers to be an orphan due to disappointment that has been deeply rooted in his mind. Regina and Refina should have gotten their full love and affection from their parents, carving out their childhoods with fond memories, but the opposite is true. It is the bad memories that will always be remembered by him.

Regina was too small to understand any of that. But because circumstances and situations make it have to mature early. If a child could think like that, who would be wrong? Of course his parents. Zafira felt terribly guilty about her little daughter. Zafira felt like she had failed as a parent. It's all his fault, yes, his fault. That match should never have happened. The marriage should not have happened. But regret is no longer possible. Moreover, thanks to the marriage he was given the gift of children who are smart, good, and good. Amongst her remorse, but in fact, the gratitude was greater. Not always what looks bad is bad because sometimes behind the ugliness, hidden something so beautiful and meaningful.

Zafira could only smile wryly, 'gold, congratulations because you have inflicted deep wounds on your children. I hope one day you regret all your actions ' Inner Zafira monologues.

Until the evening, Zafira's phone rang. Zafira who had just finished praying isya was in a hurry to pick up his phone. The name Refano is on the rectangular screen. Zafira immediately picked him up.

"Assalamu'alaikum, mas," said Zafira softly.

"Why did you call me?" ask Refano to the point.

Being treated coldly slowly made Zafira go numb and reply no less cold.

"I just wanted to ask, we were supposed to check up this afternoon, but you didn't go home."

Silence ... until a while no words came out of the lips of the two until shortly afterwards the voice of Refano interrupted.

"Next week I'll be home. Reset the control schedule."

After saying that, Refano decided the call was one-sided. Zafira smiled miris. His eyeballs circulated, for some reason Zafira felt that he would miss his place. A place that bears witness to the patience and resilience of a wife. A place that bears witness to how sincerely he loves every member of the family. His eyes were glazed over, his chest instantly tight as flashes of memory of anything he experienced in the house. Although not all memories are sweet, but there are some memories that are so imprinted in the memory of one of them how he raised his children, how he helped his children learn to walk for the first time, how he felt happy when he heard the first word from his son's lips. Mama, yes the first word that comes out of the lips of her children when she first speaks is calling her name. Somehow the flash of memory seemed to jostle reminding him as if he was about to leave from there.

...***...

A week passed, and as Refano said, he finally came home.

Refano frowned, not usually he went home in such a quiet state at that time. Silent, yes, silent, because usually Regina will welcome his return with a face of grace while stretching out both hands. But now it's different, really not as usual. Everything felt empty, silent, and empty. Not even the sound of laughter he usually heard was there. Strange, he thought while shaking his head. Refano's strange intent was odd as to why he felt like he was feeling lost. He brushed away the memory because there was something more important to him to know immediately.

"How's Doc, are we able to see the gender?" refano asked enthusiastically at the obstetrician who had just checked on his wife, Zafira.

The doctor answered Refano's question with a smile. The doctor thought, Refano will be happy, but in fact Refano's face immediately became sour.
