Two months after giving birth to baby Atar, Tania brought her son back to Jakarta to prepare for college in the coming semester. They were only taken by Edos. Tania was forced to reconnect Edos to drive a car from Pekalongan to Jakarta.
They transit in Indramayu, at the home of Nadia's parents at Mamak's request because Nadia married impromptu Rasya - her lecturer.
At about nine in the morning, they reached Nadia's parents' house. But he did not see his friend. Until finally baby Atar cried loudly because of rage, maybe. Or he wants ASI.
Tania brought in her son who was currently crying loudly into the house. Because it is not possible to breastfeed baby Atar in public even though it is covered with cloth.
Arriving inside the house, Tania knocks on the door of the room she believes to be Nadia's room. Because in front of the room was decorated differently from the other rooms.
"Nanad, open the door. I'm gonna hitch a ride on baby Atar for a second. Poor thing, he's impatient," exclaimed Tania.
Nadia opened the door. Tania's feeling was more arrogant to see the bride and groom turned out to be right in the room. Though the guests came all the way to be witnesses and give do'a blessing for their marriage. Eh, even left friendly in the room. Do they think soon the world will doomsday so it can not wait until later tonight.
"Based on the bride there is no morality! Outside of the guests there are still many who had time to be friendly in the room," hardik Tania on the newlyweds.
"Who is friendly? We're going out to eat, aren't we, sir?" elak Nadia rejected Tania's accusations, trying to ask for support from her husband. She pulled her husband's hand over to the dining table.
"Well, you're still called sir, sir, Nad?" tania murmured into the room followed by Edos behind her. He laid baby Atar on a springbed, then lay on his side to feed her.
Edos closed the door and locked it from the inside. He did not want anyone to catch his wife breastfeeding her baby in the room. He follows Tania lying next to baby Atar. Staring at the envy of baby Atar who greedily sucked ASI from his mother.
"Happy you deck can be*****same mother. Father had even two months of fasting" Edos murmured, which could still be heard by Tania's ears. Instantly Tania's eyes glared at him and her palm landed perfectly on Edos's arm.
"That's very, very, Bun. Uda maksa husband fasting, be given a lotto again. So this ship why did it get to the arm anyway?" chirps Edos. This time it was not only a plot, but the back of Tania's right index finger also landed perfectly on Edos' forehead.
"My hands calluses also because the husband does not understand, does not help homework. Help wash his clothes off for only two weeks. Just until my stitches heal. I'm cured right away at work," hardik Tania.
"How else, Yank? Work in the factory again. This is just left when you go back to Jakarta no one helps Papa," complained Edos. "What do you make a lot of money for? I can ask the neighbors for nyuciin. Counting giving fortune to people who cannot afford it," he added.
"I'm not good, which if you tell others to wash the dirt let alone the dirt of our children," said Tania.
"It's just baby shit, Yank. Not so good, right" explained Edos.
"It's not good" Tania said.
At one o'clock Tania took her son out of the room because he had fallen asleep. Edos faithfully followed his wife and son wherever he went.
The bride and groom went back into her room to change clothes. They next sat in the bar. The invited guests were entertained by a Cirebon tarling group hired by Mamak. The event took place though simple.
Ahead of Ashar Tania and Edos joined the groom's retinue back to Jakarta. While the bride and groom are still staying maybe up to a week in Indramayu. Arriving at Tania's parents' house they are warmly welcomed by Dewi and Ardi on the porch of his house.
"New cocks arrived, honey?" ask Dewi while welcoming Baby Attar into her sling.
"Yes, Ma. He stopped by his old mother's house Nanad, Nanad married. Baby Attar fits right in there fussy, so we borrow a room and fall asleep" Tania replied as she handed Baby Atar to Dewi.
Edos kissed the backs of the couple's arms in turn.
"Nanad's wedding? How did Mama not know? So marry her brother Rayan who is your lecturer?" cecar Goddess.
"Yes, Ma. Nanad married Rasya. Maybe the show is simple and seems closed, Ma. So do not invite many people," explained Tania.
"How are you, Edos?" Ardi asked Edos to interrupt the conversation between mother and child.
"Thank God be good, Pa," said Edos. "Why not go to the office?" ask Edos back.
"No, especially today Papa works half a day. Papa will welcome Papa's grandson who came from the village" said Ardi smiling.
"Let's go in! Just talk inside, not on the terrace. Or later tonight let Tania and Edos rest first" interrupted the Goddess.
They went inside the house.
"Tania, Edos, you rest. Let Atar be with Mama" the goddess said as they reached the living room.
"Thank you, Ma. In the cooler bag already have ASI if later Atar want ***** stay in warm water soak yes, Ma, Ma,
" sahut Tania's.
"Yes, Honey. There is rest" said Dewi with a hand gesture expel Tania and Edos.
Tania was about to leave the room, but she had not yet stepped back, she remembered something.
"Oh yes, Ma. The seven-monthly event of her pregnancy Ma'am Niken when is it?" ask Niken.
"Tomorrow morning, dear. You guys are coming, right?" sahut Nurlita then asked back.
"It's Allah, Ma" said Tania.
Tania took Edos to their room downstairs. Tania's room has been moved downstairs since she became pregnant. Edos closed and locked the door when they reached the room. Tania immediately laid her body on the bed. Edos was still standing facing his wife.
"Want to take a shower now or later?" ask Tania to Edos.
"Yes? Never heard of it" said Tania. "Yes, we just rest. Here!" he continued patting the spot on his side for Edos to get closer.
Edos put the sling bag that had been writhing on his body on the nightstand, then laid his tired body beside his wife. Edos tilted his body, they lay face to face. His left hand was used as a cushion. While his right hand stretched open the rectangular veil that Tania was wearing without removing the brooch pin that held her together. My eyes I see they meet.
"You're breaking fast now, Yang?" tania asked without a blink looking at her husband's pity.
"No, my body is tired. You must be tired too, right?" sahut Edos after a brief peek at his wife's forehead.
"Tomorrow we're coming to the seven-monthly event, Miss Niken, right? If you're not ready, it's okay we don't have to come" Tania bargained.
"It's not good to hold a grudge. After all, Sister Niken has been so good with us, it is not good if it does not come," said Edos.
"But I don't want to meet the bad guy" Tania complained.
"I don't want to see his face either, but it's not good for Papa Ardi and Mbak Niken. We just come there for a minute straight home. Atar we stay at home to be taken care of by Siti. It will have a reason to go home quickly" Edos said.
"The Atar section is still too small to take to an event involving many people, Yank. We have to leave Atar at home" Tania said.
They also only talk until drowsiness attacks because of fatigue, the rest of them both sleep.
*****
While at home Niken's parents have gathered relatives because tomorrow morning there will be a seven-monthly pregnancy salvation event. Niken decided to hold a seven-month prayer meeting at his parents' house because of his mother's request, there were also more people who would help.
"Your mother-in-law hasn't come yet, Niken?" zaida asked the princess only.
"Tomorrow morning he said, Ma. Tania and Edos have just arrived from their hometown. Tomorrow Mama Nurlita will invite Tania and Edos to come here," said Niken.
"Oo ... Your husband will come back here, right?" ask Zaida again.
"Yes, Ma. But maybe today Mas Bram overtime until night because tomorrow morning will have to take leave," said Niken again.
"It's okay, Mama saw Bram was a responsible husband" Zaida said.
Niken's speechless, 'pardon Niken, Ma. All this time Niken never told how Mas Bram treatment used to be against Niken, his inner self.
Trrtr ... trrrt ....
The phone held by Niken vibrated, on the screen Erika made a video call.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Hello, Erika. How are you?" greet Niken.
"Wa'alaikumussalam warohmatullahi wabarokaatuh, Nicene. It's pounding now. Maybe later, tomorrow or the day after."
"Tumben videocall, what's up?"
"Kangen. Oh yeah, sorry tomorrow I can't come to your seven-monthly event. It's hard to move. Lazy to go out," complained Erika on the screen Niken's phone.
"It's okay, Niken. If you don't attend a seven-monthly event, I can't attend either. We're even," said Niken.
"You were still in Bandung, Niken. I'm not a grudge," denied Erika.
"Yes, it's okay. I'm not saying you have a grudge. I was just kidding. Meningan you take a break to prepare the body," said Niken.
Suddenly there was a video call from Bram on Niken's phone.
"Erika, sorry. Videocall. I picked up first, yes" said Niken.
"Yes, I say yes. Take a shower in the afternoon. Mas Rifki must have come home" said Erika.
