"Darling, are you okay? It seems like these few days you look very pale" Nathan said worriedly.
"I'm doing fine. Maybe this is the effect of my pregnancy, lately I can't eat well" said Amel limp.
"Let's go see the doctor." Nathan.
"No, you have class today. You just go to college." said Amel refused Nathan's invitation.
"You sure? I'm worried about you and our baby" Nathan said unwillingly.
"You just calm down. Besides there are Papa and Mama in this house, I'm not alone" said Amel.
"alright. I'll tell Mama first. You take a break, if anything happens, call me quickly" Nathan said, peeping his wife's forehead long enough.
"Hem. Well." said Amel then back lying in his bed.
"Mah, it looks like Amel's not doing well. Nathan was very worried, but he refused to see a doctor" Nathan told Bella.
"Did your wife have breakfast?" ask Bella.
"No, Mah. These few days he has no appetite and often vomits." Nathan replied sadly.
"Haishis.. You leave for college, let Mamah take care of it." said Bella made Nathan smile with relief.
"Thank you, Mama is the best." praise Nathan then hugged his mother and say goodbye to go to college.
"Have wanted to be a father behavior is still like a child." muttered Bella by shaking her head due to Nathan's behavior.
"What's wrong with your son?" ask Andreas who is ready to go to the company.
"That his wife is not feeling well, she is very worried" replied Bella.
"Huh.. However, in the face of the woman, there will be our grandchildren. You take care of him and make sure his health is fine. I go to work first." Andreas' message then says goodbye.
Bella smiled faintly and exhaled a rough breath.
"Until when are you gonna keep your gang? Actually your heart has accepted Nathan's wife as your son-in-law, right? Although it starts from mistakes but we as parents can only pray for good for our children's homes, Pah. I hope that after our grandchild is born you will return to being the warm man you were before." Inner Bella hoped wholeheartedly.
"Bi, please make some chicken soup and take it to Nathan's room." Bella told Ajeng, the housekeeper at Johnson's residence.
"Okay Madam." said Ajeng obediently immediately headed to the kitchen.
Bella knocked on the door of the room and her forehead frowned when she saw Amel open the door with a very pale face.
"God you're so pale, son! Quickly go back to your bed." cried Bella then led Amel to lie down.
"How many days have you not eaten?" ask Bella to panic.
"3 days, Mah." answered Amel.
"You even though you can't eat rice you can eat other substitutes. You can ask Bi Ajeng to cook as you wish, or tell Mama. Now that you're two-bodied, you should also watch your intake for the sake of your child" Bella said, advising her daughter-in-law.
"Sorry, Mah." said Amel helpless.
"You rest, Bi Ajeng is cooking soup for you. Mama will also call the doctor to check your condition now" said Bella firmly.
"Well, Mah" said Amel obediently.
20 Minutes passed, Ajeng brought a bowl of chicken soup and also a glass of warm tea.
"Eat, Son. Chicken soup is good for maintaining the immunity of pregnant women especially this is still warm so it will not make you nauseous" said Bella.
Ajeng helps Amel to sit down and Bella begins to feed her daughter-in-law affectionately.
"Thank you, Mah. Amel realized Papa and Mama must not have fully approved of this marriage, right? But Amel will keep trying to be a good daughter-in-law" Amel said, making Bella stop her mouthful.
Bella looked at Amel's pale face then gently stroked her daughter-in-law's head.
"What are you thinking? Mom and Dad have been blessing you since your wedding day. Your father-in-law was hard at first, but now it seems to have begun to melt. You have to be patient. And most importantly, focus on your health as well as your baby. Don't think anything, okay?" bella said with a smile on Amel's face.
"Now finish the soup, soon Doctor Sandra will arrive" said Bella again to feed her daughter-in-law.
Amel nodded his head obeying the words of his mother-in-law.
...****************...
Davina reads a message from Marvin asking her to meet at a shopping mall restaurant.
"Why did he ask me to meet at the mall? Tumben once." muttered Davina wonder.
"Mothers.. Vina wants to go out first." said Davina who was ready with her feminine look.
"Where's Mom going? Pretty." praise Sera and tease her daughter.
"Mother don't tease me. Vina looks weird, doesn't she dress like this?" ask Davina worried.
Sera stared at her daughter's appearance from the tip of her hair to the tip of her foot and then smiled.
"Why are you quiet? Must be ugly, huh? Then I change my clothes first" Davina said in a panic but was immediately restrained by Sera.
"You're beautiful, honey. Whatever you wear will make you beautiful if you are confident." said Sera.
"Where are you going? Tumben was very excited by the appearance." asked Sera curious.
Davina hid her face timidly making Sera guess her daughter's purpose.
"You're going to meet Marvin, right?" guess Sera by touching her daughter's chin.
"Mom's guess is right." said Davina shyly.
"Are you comfortable in your clothes, son?" ask Sera to make sure.
"Actually it's not so convenient, ma'am." Davina replied honestly.
Sera sighed then approached her daughter.
"Son, there's one thing you need to remember. People who love you will accept what you are. You don't have to change to steal his attention, because a person who is sincere with you will not force you to become someone else's person. You're quite yourself, I'm sure Marvin can definitely accept and love your personality. You understand what I mean, right?" sera's message made Davina aware.
Davina remembered her relationship in the past. Davina used to change her appearance to be a gentle girl for the sake of her former lover, Nathan. It is completely contrary to his personality. At that time Davina thought that she wanted Nathan to always be able to accept it but instead the betrayal that Davina got.
"Mother's right. I shouldn't have repeated the mistake a second time" Davina said, rushing to change her clothes.
"Mom hope Marvin is really the right man for you, son." Sera's inner heart prays for the good for her only daughter.
"It's just Davina Almira." muttered Davina looking at herself in the mirror with a smile.
"Mom, Davina go first. Please tell Dad yes, ma'am." said Davina.
"You take it easy, your father won't wake up anytime soon. You be careful." said Sera.
"Wow! It seemed like Dad was so exhausted, Mom was really amazing." whispered Davina instantly making Sera's face flushed with embarrassment.
"You dare tease your mother, it's gone" Sera said, inviting Davina's little laugh.
"alright. Vina won't bother Mom and Dad. Happy honeymoon, Mom. Who knew I'd have a sister" Davina said back to teasing her mother.
"Basic brash!" pekik Sera's.
Davina chuckles then runs away leaving her mother whose cheeks are already like tomatoes.
"Vina go first, ma'am." cried Davina shut the door of the hotel room quickly.
"Help.. I've missed the baby's voice so much but not your sister's, son. I can't wait to hold my granddaughter. Hopefully your choice to marry Marvin is the right decision." murmured Sera.
