The days keep changing. Anta's stomach slowly began to grow. Elvano also always comes home on time and brings her work home.
"Sister, this is the orange." Tiara put a plate containing mango that has been cut into pieces. The two women were sitting in the backyard, watching Evan play with Ricky.
"Thank you. Brother took care of you."
"Nerepotin Sister. Tiara Seneng can help Kak Anta."
Anta smiled at her sister's words. He grabbed a half-baked piece of mango and put it in his mouth.
"So, if you need anything, say Tiara."
Anta smiled again. "There is bi Ijah who will help Brother. Your job, focus on the school. Don't you want to get a college scholarship?" Tiara nodded. "Student learning. Brother prayer in you can get a scholarship when you graduate."
"Aamiinu. Thanks, Brother."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Mama." A cute voice sounded along with the slow pull of the tip of Anta's clothes.
"Eh, what's up, baby?" Anta who had grabbed another piece of mango, put it back on the plate. He ignored the peeled fruit and cut the Tiara for her, then grabbed Evan onto her lap.
"Mama." Evan handed a flower to Anta, making the woman he called Mama smile.
"Thank you, baby. Come on, kiss Mama first." Anta lowered her body until Evan could kiss next to her cheek.
Cup...
One kiss from Evan was returned many times the kiss on his cute face by Anta. This makes Evan's laughter heard and transmitted to Anta, Tiara and Ricky.
"Such a machine... Whose son is this?" said Tiara pinched Evan's cheek.
"Mama dong's daughter" said Anta. "Is that Evan?"
"Mama" said Evan, following his mother's words.
"Ponakan Om too, right? Aye right?" Ricky chiming.
"Title." Evan's call for Ricky again makes Anta and Tiara laugh. While Ricky was grinning while scratching his head.

Elvano walked quickly out of his room. Sometimes he saw a clock in his hand.
"I came home late today. Ck. Why do I have to fall asleep!" pissed Elvano. He quickly approached his car and drove the vehicle away from the company.
About 20 minutes later, Elvano arrived. A faint smile fell on her lips as she saw Anta open the door of the house for her.
"Honey, sorry I came home late today" said Elvano.
Anta was silent. After kissing Elvano's hand and grabbing her husband's briefcase, Anta walked away from the man. Made Elvano gulp his saliva. Soon he followed Anta and equalized their steps.
"Be careful going up the stairs," said Elvano, trying to hold Anta's hand, but pushed slowly by the pregnant woman.
"Darling, are you mad I came home late?" There's no answer. Anta just kept quiet, making Elvano take her breath.
"Dear, don't be angry? I didn't come home late on purpose."
Anta remained silent. He opened the door and entered. Elvano who already did not know what to do immediately hugged Anta from behind, after closing the door.
"Dear, sorry? He accidentally went home late. I fell asleep in the office."
"If you are angry, get angry. Don't get carried away by me like this."
Anta took her breath. "I'm not angry because I came home late. I was angry because I didn't hear. I'm worried Mas. It's 10 o'clock. And I don't usually go home at this hour."
"Mas overslept, baby."
Anta let go of Elvano's hand that was coiled around her waist. The woman turned around and smiled gently at the husband. His hands raised gently rubbed Elvano's cheeks.
"I'm sorry I overslept. Next time, if Mas comes home late, let me know. I'm worried that something's going on with you."
"Yes, I promise. I'll tell you, always."
Anta nodded with a smile. "Yes already. Do you want to shower or eat first?"
"Go take a shower."
"Then, I prepared some warm water first."
"No. I am the one who prepared myself. Pregnant women need to rest."
"Yes already. Take a shower. I'm ready to get dressed."
"Kiss first."
"No way."
"Dear, once huh? From morning till the hour now you can't smell it from you. Are you not kasian?"
"Not a shoe."
"Darling, what is it? Once huh?" elvano memelas.
"Later, after the shower."
"Really huh?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Elvano quickly grabbed the towel and walked to the bathroom. Had he not slept earlier, he would have been with his wife since.
After a few minutes, Elvano came out. He could see Anta sitting with her legs crossed and her back leaning on the back of the bed. The woman is reading a book. His gaze then turned to the clothes Anta had prepared. Then he approached.
"Why not sleep?" elvano asked as he grabbed his shirt.
Anta turned her gaze from the book she read, and looked at Elvano. "I'll wait for you."
Elvano smile. "You owe the same kiss."
"Remember. That's why I haven't slept."
Elvano's smile grew even more and more to hear Anta's words. Pregnancy really brings big changes to Anta.
Elvano quickly put on her clothes, put the towel in place, then climbed onto the bed. He moved closer and embraced the wife's body.
"I'm done. Why are you still reading books?"
"A little while, Mom. Awkwardly. Until 1 page is complete" said Anta.
Elvano took a breath. Its alright. Only 1 page, not for hours.
"Darling, Papa's son. How is it today? You're not rewelling?" said Elvano, while stroking the stomach of Anta who began to bulge.
"You know what? Papa came home very late today. Papa can't nemenin you, same brother Mama. Sorry, Papa." Elvano lowered her head and kissed Anta's stomach.
"You don't get mad at Papa. Papa promised not to repeat. Papa's gonna try to get home early so he can keep you at home."
Anta who heard him smiled faintly. He put down his book, then stroked Elvano's head. "It's not angry, Pa. Adek was just worried, afraid of anything happening Papa," said Anta, playing the role of a child in his stomach.
Hearing him Elvano smiled faintly and straightened up his body. "Udah finished?"
"What?"
"Read."
"Yet. But, I stopped in."
Elvano. "Dear."
"Hmm?"
"Can you make your promise?"
Anta smiled then nodded slowly. Green light for Elvano. Soon the man brought his face closer to Anta's.
Cup.
Elvano kissed Anta's lips and kissed her gently. Anta replies to him, making Elvano feel happy. Both of them enjoyed their kiss. Even Elvano's hands began to spread everywhere.
Elvano took off their kiss. Slowly Elvano began to lay Anta's body and then supported her. The man kissed Anta's lips again. No resistance from Anta makes Elvano more courageous to do more.
Just as her hand was about to take off the pajamas that Anta was wearing, Anta quickly held them back.
"Mas."
"Hmm? What's up?" Elvano's voice sounded hoarse, indicating he really wanted the wife.
"I. want some chicken, Mas."
Elvano stared flat at his wife and then climbed up from the body of Anta and sat next to the wife who was still lying down. He took a breath, then ruffled his hair in frustration. It could be that Anta was thinking about food in the state they wanted each other as they currently do.
He wanted to be angry, but he didn't know who to scold. Anta so because of the baby's birth in his stomach. And she, she was frustrated because her brain, heart and body wanted Anta.
"M-Bag...." Anta called lirih. Seeing Elvano like this scared him. But, he really wanted to eat chicken soto this time.
Elvano took another breath, neutralizing all the feelings that were attacking him. The man turned to his wife with a gentle look.
"You want chicken soto?" ask Elvano gently. He rubbed Anta's head full of affection.
"Yes, Mum."
"Which soto seller is still open at this time? It's 11 o'clock past."
"No idea, Mom."
"Yes, I'm trying to find this. Who knows if someone's still open at this hour."
"Yes, Mum."
Elvano kissed Anta's forehead and then got out of bed. The man changed his nightgown with a home stellan, and grabbed his car keys. He then approached Anta.
"Mas go first" he said while peeping Anta's forehead.
"But be careful." Elvano nodded.
***
Almost an hour Elvano went around looking for a soto chicken stall that was still open. However, none of them found. All the stalls are closed.
Had thought to go to the house bi Ijah, asked the middle-aged woman to make chicken soto. But, he did not feel good to wake the woman just cooking soto. Bi-ijah also needs a break after a day of work.
"Ck. How to get chicken soup for Anta? Did I cook it?" elvano Mumbles.
"But only once? I think there's chicken in the fridge. There is only a nonotonous way to make it," he murmured again.
After deciding to cook for himself, Elvano drove his car home.
