"Oh yes, I have to rush down to pick up the package," said the woman, refusing to linger chatting with the man.
"Oh yeah, sorry. Uh, but I'm going down, too. What if we're just the same."
"Oh, I can."
They then stepped together into the elevator and waited there. The two look awkward but Abigail is relieved to reunite with the woman. Let alone them one apartment and, uh, all of a sudden he remembered Alena. Isn't what he's doing now a little outrageous? Looking for another woman when he lost his wife?
The thought suddenly stopped his steps to find out the woman beside him. Though it just crossed his head wanting to invite the woman to dinner together.
Ah, isn't today still my wife's study? What kind of husband am I?
Elevator door opens. "Eh, I'm going to the side to pick up the package" Marina said.
"Oh yes, please." Abigail went in the same direction as she was about to take a car to her in-laws' house. He will attend his wife's studies there.
After picking up the package, Marina sees the man boarding his car and exiting the parking area. He took the package and got into the elevator.
-------------+++-----------
Marina looked at the sleeping baby. He smiles. Actually, a gift can get a baby suddenly without having to get pregnant first. He does like small babies like this but the problem is, the financial situation is again problematic.
He's on the run. Even his already established job he left because of this problem.
He can not blame the mother for wanting to do business, after all his mother did business to reduce the burden because Marina backbone of the family since her father died a few years ago.
It's just that he did not think his mother was entangled in leeches until the debt was much and could not afford to pay. Moreover, the leech was lured to him and offered marriage as a debt-paying solution. Of course Marina does not want because the man besides having many wives is also old.
The baby woke up and cried to wake Marina from the daydream. His face immediately flushed. His hand that had been lying still, was now raised and started to fidget.
Marina smiled broadly. He touched the baby's hand with his index finger and the baby immediately grasped the finger with his tiny hand. "Mmh, you're hungry again, honey. Wait a minute, Mami make milk first." The woman kissed the little baby's forehead.
Marina immediately made him a bottle of milk and held the baby. After being fed the baby bottle, she immediately kept quiet, enjoying her milk.
"Mmh, Mami's most handsome son, is it you?" said the woman half-whispered and pulled the baby bangs away. "But Mami when is this writing, you intermittently disturb this. It's almost midnight and Mami hasn't written at all, Farhan. How should Mami?"
Marina waited for the baby to finish her milk. When the milk runs out, the baby begins to sleepy, but the baby still wants to suckle making the woman forced to shake the tiny body to sleep immediately.
"Yes, Farhan. The milk powder is gone. We save money first, because there's no store open tonight to buy your milk. Mommy promised Mami you'd buy it again tomorrow morning, baby."
The baby understood and began to fall silent. Soon the baby finally fell asleep. The tired Marina swung, putting the baby on her bed. He also slept there.
He fell asleep and the baby woke him up. "Duh, honey, the milk's a little." Marina's eyes had not been fully opened but the baby was crying again.
Unable to see the baby crying tears, Marina finally made a bottle of milk from the last available supply. She held the baby back on the bed. The baby suckled quietly.
"Mommy isn't evil, Mami forgot to buy your milk this afternoon. This is it Mommy bought your diapers through delivery, honey. Mami forgot, you should have bought your milk, too," Marina whispered to the baby and the baby was like hearing her sigh and looking at the woman's face carefully. Now the baby's tiny hands began to explore and hold the buttons in front of the woman's clothes.
Marina likes the baby boy. The baby's tiny hand was where he was amazed at God's creation. How with the baby's weak hands touching his body, he fell in love. So tired whatever you get from that little baby, can't make him angry.
The milk was toilet with the baby who had fallen asleep. Now Marina put the baby on the bed and went to sleep next to him, until morning.
-----------+++----------
The chaotic morning. The baby was crying when the milk supply was up. Marina was confused as to how it was that morning, but it was too early to find a store open at that hour.
The young man glanced inside Marina's apartment because he heard the sound of a baby crying. "Can't take care of the baby yet, brother?"
Marina pouted immediately. "I'm not his mother."
The young man laughed a little. "Eatya Anka's coming. This is Anka Bawain Kak Sila's. Brother bought for emergency (emergency) for Kak Marina." He lifted the plastic bag he was carrying.
"There's milk?"
"There's."
"Come, hurry." Marina simply pulled the young man's arm into her apartment making the young man almost laugh. Anka also likes the woman's spontaneous and funny attitude. "Eh, I'm sorry but I want to make Farhan's milk first."
The young man handed the package to Marina.
In an instant Marina was already washing and filling the milk bottle while Anka was holding the baby while waiting for Marina to come.
"Ah, it's done. Here I'm a sling." Marina came with a bottle of milk.
Anka took the bottle and put it in the baby's mouth. "Here, let Anka love milk. Marina's been in the shower yet?"
"Yet, why?"
"'And the milk that Kak Sila bought was just a little, Brother. You have to buy again. Come on, to the supermarket I'll be with."
"Oh, yes."
------------+++-----------
That morning, Abigail was getting ready to go to the office. At least try instead of continuing to lock yourself in the apartment.
His arrival to the teaching event the wife last night even made it worse. Although not directly, but the people who whispered behind him made him feel more guilty.
Moreover, hearing how the wife died, speculation increasingly makes him feel indirectly accused as the cause of the death of the wife at that time. He hurried after the show was over.
In the office also does not make it comfortable but the worst thing is that he can not think at all. He then decided to return to the apartment.
While passing the cafe, he was tempted to enter. Especially if it wasn't for the woman but the woman wasn't there. Is he in the apartment?
Just as he was about to walk towards the elevator, he saw Marina holding a baby in front of the elevator. The young man beside her tidied up the woman's hat as it was being pulled around by the baby she was carrying.
Is that his sister? She got a baby?
"Uh, naughty!" The young man grabbed the hand of the baby who was now tugging at the woman's headscarf. He kissed the baby.
That's husband?
Abigail's legs felt limp. He stepped foot into the cafe.
