"Okay, Madam." The car stopped by a small pharmacy.
Farrel followed down, as Marina got out of the car. It was common for the woman therefore she let the boy down. At the pharmacy, Marina directly ordered the tool.
Farrell touched his mother's shirt. "Who's got a pregnancy test kit, Mi?" he asked when the salesman went inside to look for goods.
"There was. 'And again sought the same, Mbaknya," explained Marina.
"Telus, doctel what's the point, Mi?"
"Check the sick."
"What pain, Mi?"
"Sick shit."
"But it's a pregnant pain there's a device, Mi."
"Yes, but not everything can be with tools."
"What spades, Mi?"
"Heartache, diabetes, high blood pressure."
"Oh, so Opa's sick it's bad yeah, Mi."
"Opa yesterday fell in the bathroom, honey. There's nothing sick, just soy sauce."
"Not sick going to the hospital, Mi?"
The talks had to stop because the salesman was back. After paying, they came out.
"We can stay in the hospital, right?"
"Yes, I can't. Must be sick."
"So he said Opa is not sick, how can you stay at the hospital, Mi?"
The woman took a long breath. Indeed following Farrel's inexhaustible question, very confusing. But Marina as a mother felt the need to share knowledge while she could, so that the boy got the right knowledge, rather than the boy knowing from others who turned out to be wrong.
The boy, who was already sitting on the Kindergarten bench, was very active in asking and Marina always tried her best to answer the curious boy's question. Therefore, practically Farrel getting stickier with this stepmother.
"Farrel, get changed. You want to have lunch with Mami?" ask the woman when she gets home.
"Mommy want to write?"
"No, Mami's going to bed. Maybe it's because Mami was sleep deprived last night, so it's this."
"Mk." The boy scowled.
"Why else, Farrel?"
"No peace, Mi."
"But, Farrel. Mommy, go to sleep again. Not feeling well, Mommy."
"Fallel ma Mamiii," the boy curled his mouth.
"Yes already. Mami's bed, will you?"
"You."
"Yes already. You change clothes in the room. Mami's waiting in Mami's room."
The two climbed the stairs and parted at Farrel's doorstep. The woman went into her room. Soon she took the pregnancy test kit and took it to the bathroom.
Before long Farrell came to the room. He saw no one in the room. He immediately knocked on the bathroom door. "Mommy's inside?"
"Yes." Yeah."
The boy then got into the bed and waited there, but Marina did not come out until the sound of the phone ringing made the boy search to the side of his mother's bag. Turns out Marina's phone was there. Farrel.
"Hello, Honey. You're home yet?"
"Papa, it's Fallel."
"Lho, Farrell. Where's mom?" Abigail was shocked when the boy picked her up.
"Mommy's in kamal's shower, haven't been so long ago, Pa."
"Masa? Mommy why?"
"No idea. Dali got sick this morning, he said. Now, entering kamal bath is not even kelual."
Abigail's panicking. "Try calling Mommy. Go to the door" he ordered.
Farrell got off the bed and knocked on the door.
"Yes?" a hoarse voice came from inside the bathroom.
"Mommy, Papa cali Mami!" yelled the boy.
"Eh .. later, dear. Mommy's calling later." The woman's voice sounded different.
"The sound is strange" the man murmured.
"Mami kayak nangis huh, Pa?"
"What?" Abigail was shocked to hear Farrel's words. He also wanted to go home. "Eh, Farrell."
"Yes, Pa."
"You take care of Mami, huh? Now Papa's on his way home."
"Yes, Pa."
Abigail was actually on her way to the factory. Because of the traffic jam, he called Marina and was surprised. The goal then changed to go home.
Farrel lay on the bed until he fell asleep. By the time the man arrived, the boy had fallen asleep. He went to the bathroom and tried to knock on the door. "Marina?"
"A-branch?" The female voice sounded surprised.
"What are you doing inside?" ask Abigail worried.
"Eh ...."
"Marina, out. What's up?"
Door opened. The face of his wife that was wet. And her tears flowed back. "Bang ...."
"Marina, what's wrong, honey."
"I'll get fat again."
Now Abigail was confused by frowning. He saw his wife's body still slim. "Fat? You mean, you ate a lot, so?"
"No, Bang." Now the woman is crying.
"Then what?"
"I'm pregnant ...."
"Astaghfiullah, Marina. What do I think is it." The man grabbed the gentle wife's body into a hug. "It wasn't a disaster, Marina. That's alhamdulillah. Don't you want a baby?" he said it full of feeling.
"But then my stomach will become fat and no longer attractive. You're gonna suck me up because it's fat back."
The man took off a hug and looked at his wife while cleaning up the remains of his tears. "You know? I knew you when you were fat. And that's not why I love you. I love you because you're Marina. Women are kind, very funny and also smart.
I'm grateful that God created a woman like you, because without you, I couldn't find Farrel, through the grief of my old wife and realized that love doesn't look at the physical. I love you, Marina. What is. When you're fat, when you're skinny. When you write, or you put Farrel to sleep. When you cry, when you are happy. I want to be a part of your life, Marina, forever."
Marina was stunned to hear her husband's words. Never had he heard the confession of a man so deeply in love with a woman, and he was flattered. "Dude."
"Mommy ...." Farrel awakens.
Both of them glanced towards the boy.
"Mommy, Dedek is there, Mi?"
"It looks like Farrel's prayer is working for you" said the man, who was followed by Marina's laughter. He hugged his wife happily.
---------+++---------
The days passed and Marina's stomach grew. They were forced to bring back the babysitter Isy because the woman was no longer allowed to go anywhere except to go with the husband.
"Mommy!" Farrel ran to Marina after school. He was more enthusiastic about going home to see his mother than at school.
Marina who was looking through her HP glanced at the boy who came over happily. "Don't run around like that, Farrel. You will fall."
"Where, Dedek, Mi? When's kelualnya?"
"I don't know, Mami, but she said 2 months away."
"Old yes, Dedeknya kelual. Why long time, Mi?"
"Still small, Dedeknya in the belly of Mami."
"Times?" Farrel looked at the woman's stomach. "This is Mami's pelut already big. Want a big one, especially?" tanyanya.
"Because the baby's in the belly is nine months, dear." Marina rubbed the head of the boy.
Farrel leaned his head against Marina's stomach. "Dedek fast kelual ya, bial Sister there is a friend," he lamented.
Isy came closer. "But so Brother should be able to give a good example yes, same Adek. Like, going home from school has to change first."
Farrel frowning. "Yes." Yeah."

Abigail was checking files when her phone rang. After checking the name, the man picked it up. He had not had time to say hello, he heard unpleasant news until the man was up to stand from his chair. "What?"
