Brilio.net - After 11 years of living a harmonious household life, Ganindra Bimo and Andrea Dian often get questions about children from many people. This question is actually quite often received by couples who have been married for a long time but do not yet have children. However, Bimo's response to this question has managed to touch the hearts of many people because it highlights the sincerity of his love and acceptance in marriage.
Through a podcast broadcast on Deddy Corbuzier's YouTube channel, Thursday (7/11) Ganindra Bimo received a question from one of the hosts about children. "This is Bimo and his wife who have been married for a long time but do not have children yet. What is your response?"
Bimo explained that for him, questions about children were not negative. He chose to respond to them happily. According to Bimo, marriage is the hope and expectation of many people, but only he and Andrea truly understand the journey they are on together.
"In my opinion, it's not something negative. The way I respond to this is just to be happy. Because marriage is a hope, many people's expectations, but who knows what I'm doing with Andrea," said Bimo.
Bimo also revealed that Andrea had a miscarriage early in their marriage. In 2014, Andrea was pregnant, but had a miscarriage and had to undergo an endoscopic operation. Their four-month-old child had to be removed because it had died.
"So Andre had a miscarriage at the beginning of their marriage. In 2014, Andrea was pregnant and had a miscarriage and had to undergo an endoscopic operation. Our child had to be removed because she had died in the fourth month of pregnancy. It was removed and Andrea's ovaries were removed," explained Bimo.
The operation also required Andrea to lose one of her ovaries. According to Bimo, doctors at the time gave Andrea a 20 to 80 percent chance of survival. Although initially estimated to only last four hours, the operation ended up taking much longer.
"At that moment, the doctor said the possibility of survival was 20 to 80. So I felt like the doctor said, eh, the operation would only take four hours, but it turned out to be more than four hours," explained Bimo.
Bimo added that one of his initial goals in getting married young was to have his own house.
"My goal in getting married young is to get a house, because I don't have one," added Bimo.
The couple also considered IVF. However, Bimo realized the risks for Andrea, and if it failed, Andrea could experience serious health complications.
"We also have an IVF program, but there is a percentage chance that it will be successful, but if it's not, God forbid something could happen to Andrea," he added.
Bimo refused to take the risk because he did not want to lose Andrea, who he considered a very valuable part of his life.
"I don't want to take that risk because I don't want to lose part of my life. I don't want to lose half my life because I love Andrea that much," he explained.
When asked about his hopes of owning a house, Bimo said that for him, a house is not just about a physical building, but also the feelings and emotional bond he has with Andrea, his life partner.
"Because home is not about the building, bro. But about feelings, about emotions with Andrea, my life partner," said Bimo.
