Mr. Cecep drove his car just moments after Dinda got in. Only about 5 minutes out of the airport area, very heavy rain fell. Some bikers were seen immediately pull over his vehicle to just pick up a raincoat. Some kept walking, and some pulled over to the edge of the shop to wait for the rain to subside.
“Hm? Why stop, sir? Something to look for?”, asked Dinda when Mr Cecep arrived - suddenly pulled his car over.
“Waiting Den Arya non.”, replied Mr. Cecep.
“Hm? Mas Arya?”
“Iya. Den Arya asked me to wait here because he will take a taxi from the airport here.”, replied Mr. Cecep.
“Aah.”, Dinda's response is short.
‘It turns out that Arya did not take a taxi directly to the house. I guess he's still mad that he doesn't want a car with me.
“Oh? It was Arya.”, Dinda said as soon as she saw a taxi stop in front of her and a man she knew got off from there.
Mr. Cecep immediately came out after taking the umbrella because Arya had to carry her suitcase.
“Let me Den. Den Arya just ride to the car.”, said Mr. Cecep gave an umbrella.
“Father Sir, I'll just pay. I'm the one who took it to the trunk of the car. Come, Sir. It rained so hard.”
Arya immediately opened the middle car door and entered. He wiped the water on his wet hair and t-shirt. Although only briefly outside, Arya was already drenched.
“Wah..the rain is very heavy yes Den. Then I leave immediately, yes.”, said Mr. Cecep who immediately drove the car.
“Eh? Mas Arya want to do?”, asked Dinda in shock while closing her eyes with her hands because Arya had already undressed her suddenly.
“Cold. I want to change clothes.”, replied Arya while picking up a change of shirt on the back of the car.
“Hah? What do you think I want?”, said Arya.
“O.. hm..not, I did not think about what - what, kok.”, replied Dinda misbehaved.
Mr. Cecep could only smile at the interaction of the two. He said the behavior of both is adorable.
“You're acting? Is there a part that you have not seen?”, said Arya while leaning her body into the chair while looking to the left to see a very heavy rain.
“Eh? Mas Arya..”, Dinda was so embarrassed that - until she didn't know what to say.
“Although I did something, it will not be in front of Mr. Cecep.”, it turns out Arya still continues.
Dinda could only go silent without being able to say - another word. Their journey was a little faster as some of the road points were very smooth than usual. Heavy rain makes very few bikers dare to hit the road. As a result, the road is empty.
“Ooh.. Honey has gone home apparently.. directly shower yes Dinda and Arya, dinner later Bi Rumi will prepare.”, welcome Inggit while smiling to see his son and daughter-in-law.
“Iya, directly help put it on top aja yes Mr. Cecep.”, Inggit command that saw Mr. Cecep lifting the suitcase.
“Excuse Den, Non. This is the suitcase I put where?”, asked Mr Cecep at the door of Arya's room.
“By here yes, sir. Thank you very much Mr. Cecep.”, Dinda replied because Arya had already directly drove to the bathroom. He's been wanting to pee ever since.

“Eat a lot ya dear. You are no longer alone. Must eat a lot.”, said Inggit when he saw Dinda and Arya were already sitting at the dining table.
Ibas who just returned from his freelance activities has also joined the dining table.
“Eh?”, said Dinda puzzled.
“So, how many months is it baby? What hospital is it at? Why not tell your mom and dad. Afraid not allowed to go to Lombok with Arya?”, asked Inggit while putting a piece of Dinda's favorite soy sauce on his plate.
“Hah? Dinda pregnant, ma?”, Ibas who just came home immediately shocked.
“This you, just returned home directly join at the dining table. Shower first there.”, Inggit said.
“Almost Ibas stinks. I'm hungry, ma. If you wait for a shower first, there is Ibas fainting later in the bathroom. Oiya, you are really pregnant, Din?”, Ibas again asked.
His face was shocked but enthusiastic. He also multitasked because while asking enthusiastically, he also moved quickly to take chicken, meat, and some pieces of potato balado to his plate.
“Ya.. really dong. Acting period. You exist - there is.”
“Wah.. mas Arya. Girls people are already pregnant only.”, comments Ibas.
“You're. Just eat it. Don't comment much.”, said Inggit who has hit his second son with a wedding invitation located in a closet with a dining table.
Receiving that, Ibas just pulled out a face pura - pura annoyed.
“Which papa ma?”, asked Arya.
“Obviously, being gathered in the front complex with his friends. Though it's night. Later you pick up papa yes, it should be papa's sleeping hours. It seems like we are talking until we forget time.
“Check-up result?”, asked Arya.
“Good - fine, really. Most only the woman who made Papa even mama high blood.”, aware of her mouth that trespassed, Inggit immediately closed his mouth.
Dinda let out a confused expression in between her activities of chewing food.
“Hahahaha. Oiya Din, have you told Mommy?”, asked Inggit.
“But Ma. The plan is next week to stay at the mother's house if Arya mas allow.”
“Of course Arya allows, right Arya?”, said Inggit.
“Oiya, but you have info via phone first. Let not late.”
“Iya ma. Later Dinda tell Mommy.”, replied Dinda nodded.
“Where is the holiday, fun? Nothing strange - strange happens, right?”
“Udahlah ma, asked continues, it's like a police sir course.”, comments Ibas who of course get a blow once again from his mother.
“Papa go home..”, Kuswan yells from the main entrance into the house. Something he doesn't normally do.
“Oh.. Dinda's home, yeah. This papa just order food with friends papa, all papa bring for you. Kuswan said put the food pack next to Dinda.”
“Well, make me where, pa?”, asked Ibas because he did not get his share.
“This is you eating.”, replied Kuswan left them and went into the room.
“Hah? Dinda also ate but was given food again. Ih.. the Papa select kasih.”, said Ibas mendumel.
“If you want to give food, get pregnant first.”, said Inggit joking.
“Once you hear Dinda is pregnant, your papa is the busiest to know Arya. He immediately called here and there asked how the experience of his friend who already had a grandson. Though the time was Andin, papa is not that - that's really because maybe Andin is far away, in America. So, not so looking.”
Arya smiled faintly. For a long time he had not received such attention from his father. Although this kind of attention was not directly for him, Kuswan showed his affection for his first son.
The past few years especially before she married Dinda, the atmosphere between them was very intense. In fact, Arya can feel if Kuswan's attention is different from when he married Sarah.
“Papa you gather - gather at the front complex also would want to show off if soon he will have a grandson from his first son. Look at tomorrow at the greengrocer, must have spread the rumor.”
“Kaya mama has not. Most so Arya mas tell you, a large family immediately update.”, said Ibas who was very familiar with the nature of his mother.
“Ya. should dong. Good news should be spread immediately. Especially for mothers - mothers of arisan whose mouths like ceplas ceplos here and there comment on the children of mama.”
Inggit felt that he was in the sky because he could reject all the rumors circulating among the mothers of Arisan. Although he was impressed bodo very, but Inggit always just pay attention and know everyone talking about it behind the back. Especially over the past three years.
His ears were already super hot from hearing gossip - gossip about his daughter-in-law, Arya's divorce, and Andin's problems. In fact, Inggit also had to be willing to swallow round - round shame when hearing information from one of his friends who had seen Sarah in the hotel with another man.
If he remembered that, his heart still could not forget his pain. He was already willing to accept the woman in his house, but instead humiliated her like this. He also could not bear to tell Arya because he knew, if the pain for him was so much less the pain received by his son if he knew it.
That is why once there is Dinda, Inggit really poured out all his affection and consider Dinda like his own son.
*******
“Have you slept?”, Arya asked Dinda.
After dinner, the two returned to the room, exhausted. There was no voice or answer whatsoever from Dinda, it seemed that the girl had fallen asleep. Arya turned to the side for a while and rightly, Dinda was completely asleep.
‘Hah... I must what this girl is so as not to keep worrying me.’, Arya said in her heart.
Aryan's gaze then leads to Dinda's stomach.
‘Papa baby who is not yet like a baby. You are healthy there and help papa to take care of mama. If there is a man who deketin mama, you make a mama bete same man. Anyway only papa can deket - deket same you, yes?’, said Arya in his heart sambi smile.
He checked briefly at Dinda to make sure that she was asleep before putting her palm on Dinda's stomach. Dinda moved a little because she was disturbed, but Arya then put her arm around the girl's neck and pulled it so that her sleeping position became more comfortable and she also felt warmer.

“How many people do I have to interview today?”, Arya asked Siska.
Arya's meeting schedule is already on the block and she can see it on her laptop, but there is no information about the number or names of people she should interview.
“There are 8 people Sir. Four people this morning and four more this afternoon.”, replied Siska.
As a secretary, she should be Ms. Know It All's. Not a single piece of information could escape him. That's why he was paid so much.
“Schedule meeting with Susan and Eko team already on the block?”, asked Arya again.
“To Bu Susan already, Sir. But for Mr. Eko not yet. He said there was a client who arrived to invite to meet and an impromptu meeting today. He will inform his schedule back soon.”
“Oke. ensure everything is done before next week huh. I'll have a lot of meetings. Gilbert?”, Arya starts offending the man as he passes by his desk.
“Hm..no news yet, sir. Did Mr Gilbert say he was coming in today? I heard from Egi and Wawan, Mr Arya met Mr Gilbert?”
“Hm. He said he wanted to sign today.”
“But Sir. Not it.”
“It wasn't me who asked him to come in. He himself wants to come in. I'm just being professional.”
“Good sir, I understand.”, Siska instantly returned to her place and Arya walked towards her room.
“Oh yes Sis. There's still about 15 minutes until the interview, right? Can you please call the 5 people who caused trouble in Team Building yesterday? Have them come to my room.”, Arya orders.
Just now, Siska was going to sit down, but she had to stand up again as she had to walk to the Digital and Development division area to call Dinda, Suci, Delina, Bryan, and Andra.
“Hah..why not from earlier he said. I'll be back and forth.”, Siska protests.
“What are you doing?”
“Ahhaha .. not Sir. I call them, IMMEDIATELY.”, said Siska immediately sliding towards the Digital and Development division.
