Chequek...

Door opens.

Louis went into the apartment and closed the door. Making Anisa who is now seen sitting in the living room while playing a classical music from the phone that she put on the stomach then turned to the direction of the source of the sound.

"Louis?" said the woman while smiling.

Louis displayed his sweet smile when he saw the face of ayu woman who increasingly looks more charming in his eyes. Louis then approached. He sat down next to the distended woman without letting go of her sweet smile.

"Assalamualaikum, Beautiful" said Louis.

Anisa chuckles. "Wa Alaikum Salam" she answered so sweetly as she tilted her head so cute and adorable.

Louis smiled. The movement of the hand reached for a cellphone that was on top of Anisa's stomach. He then turned off the quiet music there, then put the object on the table. Louis then shuffled. Eroding the distance with the beautiful woman. The burly hand moved back to touch and rub the pot of the beloved woman.

"Hi, baby. What are you again?" the man asked as if he was talking to the baby.

"I'm waiting for Papa. Did papa eat?" said Anisa with a typical baby voice that seems to represent the speech of her baby candidates.

Louis chuckles. "Yet. Papa can not eat if not bribed Mama," said the man.

Anisa laughing. "Papa likes to laugh!" anisa said with her baby's distinctive voice.

Louis chuckles. He ruffled gently the head of the pregnant woman. Anisa turned to look at him.

"Where is your Grandpa's condition?" ask Anisa.

Louis was silent for a moment observing the look of the wood. "good. Everything is safe" Louis said.

"Alhamdulillah" said Anisa.

Louis was silent again. "How are you? As long as I stay, any problems?" he asked as if he didn't know what.

"There is none! Not a day" the woman replied. He even spoke while chuckling. He doesn't know, if Louis seems to know everything. Bik Susi who was in the kitchen was apparently silent also eavesdropped on the conversation of the two employers.

Louis moved his hand stroking Anisa's long hair.

"Nis" said Louis.

"Yes" answered the woman.

"Do you feel safe here?" ask Louis.

Anisa was silent for a moment. "Aman, really. I came here because you were the one who broadcasted it, too" said Anisa.

Louis smiled. He's shuffling. Eroding the distance with Anisa. The man rested his head on the back of the sofa without changing his gaze on the beautiful woman before him. The heavy hand was moved again. Playing the tips of long hair of pregnant women.

"Nis" said Louis.

"Yes" answered the woman.

"Maybe from tomorrow I'll go back to the office. Because no matter where the company is, it is a responsibility that Grandpa has secured for me. I can't leave it."

"So maybe starting tomorrow, I can't keep you twenty-four hours. I can only accompany you from afternoon until morning" Louis said.

Anisa was silent for a moment. "Grandfather, do you know that you don't live in the house now?" tanyanya.

Louis shook his head. "He doesn't know" he said.

Anisa was silent again. Louis rubbed a gentle swab of that distended stomach.

"Nis" he said again.

"What?" ask Louis.

"You're okay if for a while we stay in the roof? I have no other choice. I'm males home. I'm comfortable here with you. And I can't let you stay alone in this house either. It will make me not calm down. I promise you, I won't do the same as you do" Louis said. Anisa just smiled and nodded.

Anisa quiet.

"I know what happened to you this morning. All of those incidents were recorded on the CCTV cameras of this apartment. Including your conversation with Bik Susi," said Louis.

Anisa did not answer. Louis grabbed the back of the woman's hand, rubbing his swab gently without taking his eyes off the pretty face.

"Nis, thank you for being strong. It's as if you're not silent when Rhea and Tasya say bad things to you. Thank you for always carrying my name as your protective shield. I like it."

"But there's one you might forget" Louis said.

"What?" ask Anisa slowly.

Louis smiled. He guided the white hand to anchor it on his cheek, then moved it to rub the cheek with the firm jaw.

"Don't hide anything from me. You and your child are my responsibility. You are here because of me. If someone tries to harass you, tell me. Tell me. Don't you be alone."

"What you said to Rhea is correct. You are here because of me. If you ever want to get out of here, it's also on the orders of my mouth. Because you belong to me now!" said Louis.

Anisa smile. "I'm sorry, not that I don't want to tell you, I just don't want to strain your relationship with your family. I'm afraid that later you will fight again with your cousin," said Anisa.

"You're not bullying anything, Nis," Louis said.

"Your family may have a hard time accepting me, Louis," said Anisa.

"Tough doesn't mean you can't, does it?" ask Louis. "That's the reason why I've been hiding your whereabouts all along. Because I don't want you to think heavy. Indeed our position is quite difficult with your current situation. But I will keep fighting for you."

"My family, let me take care of it first. Later, if our child is born, then I will invite you to fight the same. We assure my family that you are the right person for me. Only your background and your past are tarnished by Luke's mistakes. And now Louis is here to clean it up" Louis said.

Anisa smile. Undeniably, he likes every time Louis said his good intentions to make Anisa happy with all the plans that have been embedded in her brain.

Louis again guided Anisa's hand, now approaching her lips. The man kissed the back of the woman's hand gently, making Anisa also sculpt her making.

"Bye, eat, yuk! I'm hungry!" said Louis.

Anisa smile. He then nodded. A pair of women then rose to the dining table of the luxury apartment.

...****************...

Meanwhile, in a separate place. In a public funeral complex located on the outskirts of the big city. A noisy exhaust motor seems to stop there exactly at twelve noon. A gondrong man got off his vehicle. He took off his helmet, walked towards a neat-looking tomb with a pink rose in his hand.

The eagle sat his body next to a tombstone bearing the name Silvia. Put the rose on top of the belly button. The final resting place of a woman who is known to have died approximately twenty years ago when viewed from the inscription on the tombstone.

"Jiang, Ibuk," said the Eagle to the silent tomb.

"How are you today?" ask Eagle. His hand moved rubbing the black tombstone with a nano-eye look.

"Elang kangen, Buk," he said. "Old time we split up. Long time ago, the eagle did not see my mother's face."

"But the Eagle remembers. Still memorized in fact, the face of the beautiful Ibuk, although Ibuk went when the Eagle was still five years old.”

"The Eagle has a picture of Ibuk!" add the man while smiling. The man reached into his pants pocket. Light up the cigarette, then enjoy it.

The eagle then moved. He who was originally sitting crouched beside the tomb now seems to change the position of his body. The eagle spilled its body on the ground. Using the tombstone as a pillow, as if lying on the lap of the mother who was already in a different realm from her.

"Oh," said Elang while enjoying his cigarette. His eyes stared at the blue sky.

"Hummer to know, Eagle met a girl, beautiful, very sweet."

"I don't really know what the feeling of an Eagle is, but at first glance his face looks like the same face of Ibuk in the photo in the Eagle's room," said the man.

"He's Budhe's employer, Buk. Poor her, pregnant, dik*sa ama man, but not married. Though apparently he's a good boy." added Elang.

"The new speaker is aware today. It looks so similar. But it's more beautiful Ibuk. Hehehe.." said the man as he chuckled at the end of his sentence.

The eagle enjoyed his cigarette. Then he came back to chattering. Tell stories to and fro accompanied by the breeze that blows there that afternoon. Spilling all his yearning on the mother who has now returned to the lap of the Almighty.
