That morning Rama and Kian both just finished dressing after they cleaned themselves. The long heat struggle between the two people in fact still does not make them relax and sleep until noon. Especially today Rama had to pick up Lian at the hospital. Earlier this morning the man had even contacted Samir and said he would not go to work today.
"Mas" call Kian. Her still slightly wet hair unraveled making the woman's face appear fresher than usual.
"Yes" answered Rama, who was combing his wet hair.
"Can I come and get Lian?"
The question from Kian managed to make Rama stop his movement for a moment. After finishing her hair, she turned around and walked over to Kian who was sitting by the bedside. After getting close, instead of sitting beside Kian, Rama instead sat on the floor with his head laid at the woman's feet. He rubbed the hair of the man who was still a little wet.
"Why?" rama asked without looking at Kian's face. He was just trying to enjoy every soft touch Kian gave his head.
"I. I just want to come along" replied Kian innocently. Rama raised his head and looked at the woman's face
"Are you sure? Do you know how your twin brother is? Aren't you going to be jealous of what he's going to do?" ask Rama. Fall silent.
The woman thought that what Rama said was true as well. Lian will definitely act more by trying to make out with Rama if he comes along. Would he be strong if he saw all that? That's what Kian can't promise.
"Mas" said Kian again.
"What dear?"
"Did you believe all my explanations yesterday?"
Now Rama is silent. He did not even move at all as if pecking after hearing the woman's question. Rama realized that he wanted to trust the woman a hundred percent. However, that belief still cannot change a reality if Lian is his wife and the woman with him all this time is Kian, his sister-in-law.
"Mas, I'd be very happy if you could trust me. I just need your trust. I don't need anything anymore. And I'm going to trust fully in everything that you're going to do in the future."
Rama was still staring at those two beautiful eyeballs. He was very concerned about why his life became wrong like this. Why was it not just the one she married from the beginning. And why not from the beginning he fell in love with this girl, so he could choose when the grandfather set her up first.
Rama clasped both hands and kissed her deeply.
"I love you baby. And I am a complete believer in all that you have told me. I believe one hundred percent in your words" said Rama in the end. Now the lips can again smile sincerely. She was very grateful that the man believed in her and was not consumed by Lian's incitement.
One hand of Rama landed on the nape of Kian's neck and then pulled him gently. Makes the woman slightly bow. Then a sweet kiss landed on the woman's lips. But this time it was just a brief kiss, with no lust or passion in it.
Rama stood up again and then wore a jacket that had been prepared by Kian.
"Mas" asked Kian again.
"What else, baby?"
"So where are you taking Lian home? What's to mom's house?" ask Kian. He was still curious because the man did not want to invite his legal wife to live in the family home Amarta where she now lives.
"Ooh."
"Why? It's okay, right?"
"It's okay. Why why?" ask Kian with a smile.
"Yes, maybe you're jealous and unwilling if I take Lian to my apartment. You have never lived there" joked Rama, winking one eye.
"What the hell is Mas. Not clearly," said Kian then went out of the room with a red face flushed with shame, leaving Rama who laughed.

After thinking and arguing for some time, Kian finally decided to just go to the hospital. He said it would be more torturous if all day he imagined the intimacy of the couple rather than see it directly. Although Kian himself knows, if in the hospital he will not be able to do anything but watch Lian's behavior which will certainly make his heart burn.
And here they are. At the hospital in front of Lian's nursery. The two couples stood for a moment with their hands firmly grasping each other. They were as if they were gathering energy in order to be strong in the face of the test that was in sight. When everything was ready, Rama opened the door.
"Mas" Lian shouted with a smile. But his smile suddenly disappeared immediately after he saw there was a figure Kian beside the husband.
Rama saw Lian's condition was very healthy. The infusion needle had been removed and he was also ready to go home soon. The man advanced first followed by Kian who followed behind him.
When it was close, Lian quickly hugged the husband tightly. And as usual he kissed the burly belly of the man who was covered in a thick jacket. Rama deliberately ordered a thick jacket to be prepared by Kian and saw it Kian even smiled because now he understood the intention of the husband asking him to prepare the thick jacket.
"So, Grandpa Bimo already knows, right Mas? I can stay at the Amarta house, right?" asked Lian with enthusiasm. Rama looked back where Kian was standing. Then he looked back at his wife.
"I'll take you to my apartment. For a while you will stay there," said Rama firmly.
"What's? The apartment? But I don't want to live in an apartment, Mas. I want to stay at the Amarta family home," Lian whined slightly as she put her lips together.
"I've said it before, haven't I? For a while I can't take you to stay at the Amarta family home. And you know clearly what the cause is" said Rama. Lian looked back where Kian was standing. Sharp gaze with hatred especially to the slightly distended stomach Kian where there is a growing fetus developing there.
"Well, I'll stay in your apartment, Mas. But on one condition," said Lian while looking intently at the husband's eyes.
"What's that?" ask Rama relax.
"I want you to also come live with me in the apartment."
