Become Him
The rest of my life

The excitement was seen in a house that was holding a celebration event.

At Nata and Rachel's residence this time the event took place. They held a celebration of the successful launch of a housing cluster they named Classthome with staff at the company. The number of employees is not too much, making them able to be entertained well in the new house.

The promotional video of the housing continued to play in one corner of the room and fascinated the guests present. Like a post-wedding video between Nata and Rachel that makes anyone who looks, smile sweetly. Their romance is clearly visible in the video.

Maybe the magnet that makes the home unit is almost exhausted in booking by the buyers when it was only one week marketed. An unexpected achievement that Nata and Ivana achieved. They are grateful for this incredible achievement.

This success became a beautiful gift for the wedding of Nata who turned the age of two years. To celebrate all that happiness, not only was Nata's co-worker invited but also Rachel's co-worker, her family and of course Martha's friends enlivened.

Out of nowhere they know that Martha is holding this celebration event even though she is out of her toxic group.

“Adduhhhh .. pregnant is already big. How many months is this?” ask one of Martha's friends to Rache.

“Seven months aunt.” Rachel said as she rubbed her stomach that had become increasingly bulging. The typical pregnant woman's dress makes Rachel's stomach look clear.

“What men are women?” ask one other woman.

“Still a surprise aunt.” Rachel chose not to deliver at this time.

“Waahh, young couple now likes to give surprise. But if from the shape of his stomach like this, it looks like his daughter deh.” The woman's timpal.

“Ah no, like a boy. Her Rachel looks so beautiful. Different is the aura.” Other women's timpal.

Rachel just smiled hearing the science of the compatibility of these grandmothers.

“Do’ only. May her mother and daughter be healthy. Male or female alike.” Said Martha in a stammer. His tongue still feels stiff even though the way he speaks is clearer.

“Iyaa really, want an important man or woman healthy and safe and perfect.” The woman again.

“Aamiin, thanks aunt.” Rachel agreeing.

“Iyaa, later if his son will stay with a girl. If the child is a girl, there is still a brother's love. That's easy anyway.” The big lady commented.

“That bill! The important thing is that Jeng Martha is healthy. If still in a wheelchair like this, want to play how to try with his grandchildren. Later instead of playing with grandchildren, jeng Martha asked to be taken care of with her mother baby.” There are always unfiltered words from these grandmothers.

Rachel looked at Martha's face that had changed. He tried to smile even though he was confused.

“Thank you do’ya yes aunt, hopefully mamah can be healthy soon. Family aunt also given health.” Rachel said as she rubbed Martha's back. He tried to calm his mother-in-law.

Martha just smiled a little, she knew Rachel was trying to comfort her.

“Iya both. By the way, which besan jeng Martha, how not to look?” one other lady was wailing.

“Oh, my mom is inside aunt.”

“Oh that's yaaa. We want to know acquaintance. Curious, how many diamonds made by Jeng Martha, especially her son is now already a famous star of advertising, hihihi.” Said one of the women who chuckled. Either really want to know or just want to mock.

“You do not need to make a fuss if you are still looking for free food. Umpah there, at dinner.” Martha's snide out again. He does not like his iron in the hina.

“Ih jeng Martha kok. We're just kidding. Aye right?” Said the woman, asking her friends.

“Yes, jeng Martha is now sensian.” Other timpal.

Martha did not chimed in, she just incubated the upset in her heart.

“Wah, it looks like the chat is really exciting. Chat what is it?” Ivana joins in when she sees Martha's tense response.

“Eh Ivana's. This loh, his aunt nanyain jeng Martha but it seems jeng Martha even upset. We are just kidding. Is it jeng?” ask the woman to her friends. His friends just nodded.

“Oh, if my mom gets angry, maybe this auntie joke is not funny and even hurt my mom.” Ivana smiled cynically at the woman who spoke presumptuously.

“Aunty's age is already a lot, it should be able to find out which questions can be jokes and which can offend others. So, if aunty still can not be differentin the two things, mending his mouth preoccupied with food. Lots of good food here.” Cynic Ivana with a dislike look at these old ladies.

“Jeez, he said it's bad as a jeng Martha.” Whisper Martha's friend.

But Ivana doesn't care. He only sipped his drink because his head hurt from holding back his upset. These four women continued to comment on unnecessary things and provoked Martha's anger. Maybe it was something like this that they had been talking about until Martha was more incited.

“Mah, mamah should also be able to differ, which questions are indeed asked because of care or questions that just kepo and look for the ugliness of our family. I guess mamah is not equally they also have nothing to lose anyway.” Ivana's vague whispers are still being heard by Rachel.

Rachel could only hold her breath looking at the cynical gazes of Martha's friends who disliked Ivana's attitude.

“Jeng Martha, I think we want to go home. I don't think we're welcome with the host here.” Said one of the women who rolled her eyes at Ivana.

“Oh, please aunt. Thanks for coming, aunt. Please, the exit is over there.” Timpal Ivana was relaxed.

They no longer chimed in, only belittling annoyance at Ivana. Then just leave.

Ivana does not bother with the departure of Martha's friends because she knows their behavior only provokes Martha's emotions.

“You don't have to worry about losing your money. Mending little temen but good than many but toxic.” Decisive Ivana while patting Martha's shoulder.

Martha was silent, staring at the passing of her friends. But in his heart, he confirmed all the words of his daughter.

“So, she's Ivana?” asked Adri who was watching Ivana from a distance. She asked Fany who was enjoying her meal.

“Iya. The guy is firm but very nice. It's a shame for Rachel. He's Rachel's number one defender. And that, his son.” Fany pointed to Brandon who was playing cars on the grass. He was not bothered by the noise in the house.

“She's a special child, Rachel's darling the same bang Nata.” Fany Imbuh.

“Attracting.” Mumbled Adri while sipping a drink in his glass to the toilet. Without Fany guessing, it turns out that Adri approached Brandon who was engrossed in playing alone.

I don't know what Adri said that clearly Brandon did not refuse when Adri approached him.

“Gercep is also the brother of catfish.” Mumbled Fany, who was smiling faintly at the effort of the thin mustachioed man who approached Brandon.

“Jeng Martha, what is jeng Martha inside?” eva's voice called out to Martha who was silent in front of the window. From earlier he looked at the leaves that swayed when blown by the wind. He looked at Eva and smiled.

“Come in,” Pinta Martha.

Without hesitation, Eva approached the iron. “Iya, does jeng Martha need anything?” Eva sits in the chair opposite Martha.

Martha shook her head and smiled. He grabbed Eva's hand and held it even though it wasn't tight.

“I'm sorry,” said Martha started her sentence. His eyes seemed to be teary-eyed withstanding the cries.

“As long as Rachel stays in our house, I hurt her often. Though she is the favorite daughter of Eva.” Martha bowed in embarrassment, with her tears breaking. She regrets hurting Rachel and insulting her family.

Eva does not stop. He smiled and pressed his hand against Eva.

“Thank you for jeng Martha would like to admit jeng Martha's mistake. I know it's not easy." Eva started her sentence.

"I know that accepting someone who is suddenly present in our lives is not easy. Moreover, we can not choose who can come, stop or go.”

“But, every person who has ever walked into our lives, will teach us valuable lessons, including for Rachel.”

Eva paused her sentence for a while. He remembered his daughter who was much different now.

“Rachel is a spoiled child. She often cries for small things and her level of dependence on me and her brother is very high. But, it seems like at Martha's jeng house she learned a lot of things. Not only to not be a weak person but he was able to enter the round of his life with more maturity.”

“I was once angry at Jeng Martha but I also know that every human being can make mistakes. Now, let's close that bad past. We open a new, more beautiful page. And thank you for indirectly jeng Martha has helped my daughter become a strong and mature woman.” Close Eva.

Martha was speechless, she could only bow down in embarrassment while shedding tears of regret. She was so ashamed of Eva. It seemed that now he knew, where did the sincerity that his son-in-law came from. Of course from a strong woman who was currently smiling before him.

“Thank you, thank you jeng Eva.” Martha said stammeringly and not too clearly.

Eva nodded in understanding.

Martha nodded small. He took a deep breath and then breathed it. He tried to strengthen himself. The past is a valuable lesson and they should start a new chapter more wisely.

Eva and Martha came out of the room. The guests had already gathered waiting for the core event to begin. They listened to the reception of the owner of the event, Nata. the man stood gallantly with his beloved wife, Rachel. It seems that the two people are very happy right now.

“I thank you for the presence of our guests. Thank you for fulfilling our invitation. Today, my marriage with Rachel came of age. Project that we have completed well, became the most beautiful gift for us.”

They compactly clap their arms and congratulate Nata and Rachel.

“Thank you for the support of all parties. The staff and management who have worked hard to realize our mega project. May the results of our hard work bear sweet fruit for all of us.” Say Nata while raising his glass high to invite a toast.

Guests also raised their glasses, celebrating the success of Wijaksono Corp. The sound of clapping becomes the next encouragement in starting other larger projects.

After a brief welcome from Nata, they returned to other activities. There are busy choosing food, fun to talk and other things that guests do such as taking pictures in many corners of the house Rachel and Nata. In one corner he also saw Ruby who was chatting with some people who asked about her flower shop that was on the rise.

One thing is certain, many sounds of laughter and joking familiarity filled this house.

Rachel and Nata exhaled with relief at the happiness that surrounded their little family.

“Good job! Mas the best.” Rachel's whisper in Nata's ear.

“Thank you, my wife. All this, thanks to your support as well. I love you.” Reply Nata while kissing Rachel's head with love.

Rachel smiled happily, her face immediately flushed red upon hearing the expression of love from Nata. It feels good to spend time with loved ones.

“Ehm! Sorry to disturb.” There was Fany and Adri who then approached.

“Kak,..” welcome Rachel with a smile welcoming her manager who looks beautiful today.

“Ngot bother. How, how?” continued Rachel.

“Em, here, I've heard from the Calvin bang that our campaign against harassment against women has been approved by Chel. And can be published per day.” Fany said, quoting a message sent by Calvin.

“Oh yes? Seriously sister?” Rachel's eyes immediately faded with vigor.

“Serious lah. I got a message directly from him. He's still on his way home from the ministry. I think it goes straight here.”

“Yes god, thankfulnessaahhh ...” Rachel exclaimed with pleasure.

“Congratulations yaa .. congratulations to the women who will later fight for their rights.” Reveal Nata with pride.

“Still mas. This is thanks to the support of his team mas Adri also brother Fany. Thank you very much...” Rachel nodded politely at Adri and Fany.

“Do not hesitate Chel. Your idea is brilliant, there must be a lot of support. I'm sure there are a lot of women out there who might experience something like this but don't dare to stand up for their rights. Yes hopefully with this campaign, many women are helped.” Adri.

“Betul, I agree.” Nata.

Rachel smiled with relief because Nata's support meant so much to her.

“Okey, if so, I'm the same as Adri like to immediately unplug, because he has a meeting agenda. Sorry I'm not here until I finish.” Pamit Fany's.

“Eemmm, thank you very much brother. Sorry if I had a lot of ngerepotin brother.” Rachel embraces Fany with affection.

“Ngerepotin what the hell? You like lebay. Instead, I was seneng because I could decet with the artist I was managerin, until I felt like my own family. Congratulations Chel, I'm happy for you.” Fany said sincerely.

“Yes, I thank you very much too. Thanks for being a partner and sister for me.”

“Sama-sama Chel.” Both of them warmly.

“Okey, before going home, can we dong first photo?” fany pinta.

“Ayok!” Rachel spirit disarming.

“But, can you invite Ivana not?”

“Bby, let me call.” Nata contacted Ivana's cell phone, which was chatting in the distance with one of the staff.

“He will be here.” Connect with Nata after Ivana agrees.

“Okey, sip!” exclaim Fany while nudging Adri's arm.

Adri pretended to turn her face away while holding back a smile.

“Why?” ask Ivana.

“Sini brother, we'll take a photo first.” Take Rachel.

“Oh okay. Where am I?” ivana asked while tidying up her wavy hair.

“Here brother.” Fany shifted to the side and made room next to Adri.

“Oh okay, excuse me ...” Ivana smiled kindly at Adri.

“Please.” Adri could not hide the look on her happy face from standing next to Ivana. She even loved the perfume Ivana wore.

“Okey, one two threes..” Fany gave a cue.

They posed and some pictures succeeded in capturing.

The photo is now enshrined Rachel in her notebook along with a complete family photo. He could still feel the happiness that was bubbling up in his chest at this moment. In fact, happiness can come when he is trying to create it. Enjoy the rhythm of life that sometimes changes at any time and stay calm facing any problems.

Rachel was grateful that she never gave up. He is also grateful that he can remain loved by being himself without having to “Become Dia” which is in the expectations of those who know him. He felt that he could love himself more under any circumstances. For that, he is very grateful.

“Busy, what else?”

And this man was one of the people Rachel was grateful for. Nata, who had just finished bathing, peppered Rachel's neck small and made his wife's hair bristled.

“Nempelin photos.” I sniffed his shoulders amused.

Nata peeked a little at Rachel's notebook and sure enough their photo was already on display by his wife.

“Hem, it turns out I'm handsome if that smile?” nata Sata's comments saw her own face that looked happy. All this time he had never seen his own expression so happy.

“Efek filter times yes?” ledek Rachel's.

“Yes, your filters. You filtered out all my bad feelings and always managed to make me smile happily. I'm lucky to have you Chel.” Rachel's thump was taken seriously by Nata.

She hugged Rachel tightly from behind and placed her chin on Rachel's shoulder. She occasionally kissed Rachel's exposed shoulders and neck.

“I'm also lucky to have mas.” Reply Rachel.

Nata no longer chimed in, he just stared fixedly at his wife from the side. Swiping Rachel's cheek with the tip of her nose that crumbles and then kisses some parts repeatedly.

“I love you, always.” Whisper Nata while placing his forehead on Rachel's temple. It made Nata's nose and lips feel so close to his ears. Her breath warmly caressed Rachel's ears.

“Thank you for staying and choosing to stay with me.” Say it again with great determination.

Rachel smiled slightly. He turned his face to look back at Nata and kiss her lips. The fishing successfully made Nata reply to Rachel with passion. They fenced off for a while.

This night is going to be a beautiful night for two people who love each other. Many love words that Nata repeatedly said to rachel. And both promised, to always present the same warmth in the following nights.

To all of you, I love you.

Love, Rachel and Nata.
