Dream Womb
Bad or Good News?

Pov Haris's.

"Huh? Diana came to the village? What's he gonna do coming home?"

I was really surprised to hear the news from Santi. How dare Diana come to my house.

For years she never wanted to come if I went home. Diana was too holy to step on our slum. What kind of wind made her come to my mother's hut? My mind's raging.

"A little while this.. This is. there-" Uncompleted Santi replied, suddenly a familiar voice sounded in my ear.

"Haris, mom never taught you to hurt women! Why are you acting so far?" Mom's voice sobbing.

Shit, I must have been hit by Diana's incitement. Apparently the woman didn't let go of me that easily. Diana must've been talking a no-no about me. Actually, not the no-no, but talk reality from his side.

"Mother, calm down, yeah. Haris will explain everything."

"Go home now, son. Mother never educate you in ways that are not good, let alone hurt women. No, Haris, it's like it's not a kid I know." Mother's cry broke.

Of course, I was disappointed to hear stories about our household from only one side. Diana was the best at winning hearts, let alone my mother's innocent heart.

"Yes, Mom. Tomorrow, Haris will be home."

I had no choice but to follow Diana back to the village. Just-there! That woman, I'm sure her coming home just wants to ask me back. That must be what he wanted.

Sometimes I get confused by Diana's attitude. If he wanted to let me go, he would have met a man who loved him. Loving as he wants. Why is it so hard for him to let go of a man who no longer has a taste?

The next day, I immediately went back to the village. Unexpectedly, Diana greeted me with her smile in front of the house. The woman even picked up my carry-on bag containing a change of clothes. What happened to Diana? Why did she now suddenly act as if she were a devoted wife to her husband?

I frowned, thinking about what Diana's plan was this time.

Arriving inside the house, I hugged Mother longing, while Mother greeted me with her tears. Santi came and greeted me warmly.

"Silver healthy?" ask Santi. This girl is growing in bloom, her face is sparkling pretty. Santi is the female version of me.

"Here, baby, drink the tea first."

What other surprises has Diana prepared? Tumben-tumbenan he prepared a cup of hot tea for me. Never had hot tea or coffee. I had to make it myself, or was forced to drink cold versions of tea or coffee drinks in our house.

"If you're tired, sleep, let me have a massage."

Again Diana's voice was like banging on my eardrum.

"You eat first, I've cooked your favorite meal, Haris. There's anointing of seaweed as well as dried fried bloated fish."

My eyes lit up to hear Mom mention my favorite food. What I love about this house is our memories as a child, including a simple menu that mothers always serve for their children.

I glanced at Diana. She must have been disgusted by the menu mom mentioned. I don't care at all!

"Yes, Mom. I've longed for mother's cooking" I said deliberately provoking Diana's reaction.

"Mas Haris, this is if I'm not masakin, I don't want to eat either, Mom," said Diana, making my stomach nauseous instantly.

'Cooking? Order food online is Diana's only skill.'

We had dinner with a special menu made by mother, and as I thought, Diana looked disgusted with the menu served by mother.

After eating, Diana immediately picked up the dirty plate that was in front of me. He put it in the dishwasher. He won't wash it. I'm pretty sure, he won't want to ruin and dirty his perfect nail art.

"Already, Diana. Leave it there, tomorrow morning let Santi wash it," said the mother.

"Yes, ma'am," said Diana quickly. Right my guess, Diana was just pretending.

"Darling, I have good news for you. Look at this," said Diana, revealing a flat object, a test with two faint red lines.

"What do you mean?" ask me with my heart racing.

"I'm pregnant, Mas. We will have children" exclaimed Diana with her beaming face.

"How is that possible?" I'm trying to convince myself.

"Of course it's possible, because you're my husband!" Diana hugged me tightly.

I didn't expect, it turns out that mother heard Diana's words. Mom came closer to us.

"So, you want to have a grandchild soon?" mother asked looking enthusiastic

"Yes, Mom. I was pregnant, therefore I deliberately came here to tell mom and Mas Haris directly," Diana said with a contrived gentle demeanor.

"Haris, I don't want to hear any more excuses. You must immediately withdraw your divorce suit to Diana!"
