"Your son is smart, Vin! He knows how to take the best revenge. Your mother used to work in school. Now it's their turn to answer you. So enjoy!"
"The new embryo-shaped period is so?"
Alvin looked at his mother suspiciously to find a sign of lying there. His whole heart did not believe that a man could experience cravings that mama called 'sympathetic pregnancy'. But Alvin found no sign of lying there. Mom is giggling with Daniza.
"But his stomach won't get fat, will it, Mah?" The question managed to blow Mama Elvira's laughter.
"Why, Vin? Are you afraid of her stomach getting bloated?"
"Yes that. It's strange that a man's belly fat like a pregnant woman."
When Mama Elvira laughed with satisfaction, Daniza could only clench her lips tightly. Alvin and Mama's behavior is completely absurd to him.
"Nea don't like to hurt women. It's the consequence."
Alvin's already pursed his lips. Like a child who is sulking.
"Udah ah! Just go to the room. Sleepy!" Not wanting to constantly be a material led by the mother, Alvin chose to return to the room. Daniza looked at her husband who had passed the stairs to the top floor.
"Well, I'm going to go to the room first, yeah," Daniza said.
"Yes, Honey. Be careful, your husband is sensitive," replied the mother as she rubbed the top of her daughter-in-law's head.
"Yes, Mah." Daniza immediately followed Alvin to the room. As soon as the door opened, Alvin immediately dropped his body on the bed.
Daniza chose to go to the bathroom. A day outside made his body feel sticky and sultry. He even spent a long time in the bathroom.
Out there, Alvin exhaled a long breath while staring at the ceiling of the room. Thinking about how to make the sympathetic pregnancy disappear immediately.
"Try to find out first!" The phone he took out of his pants pocket. Then find out about sympathetic pregnancy on the internet.
"It really does exist." His eyeballs bulged. He muttered while reading some articles on the internet.
Not long after, Daniza came out of the bathroom. It looks fresh now.
"That's not good, is it?" alvin. His hands stretched out asking for Daniza to come closer. The woman was immediately welcomed, making Alvin pull him up to fall into an embrace.
"Dienak-enakin. Long time also lost his own cravings."
"I'm sorry, yes" she whispered softly as she hugged.
"Sorry why?"
"Because I just understood this is how cravings feel. It turns out tormented inner birth. But I made you sad with amnesia" she said, then buried a kiss of affection on the cheek over and over again.
"It's okay, Mom. Next time you have amnesia, stay in magic." Daniza reviewed the smile after whispering the sentence into her husband's ear.
"How do you get magic, how do you try?" ask Alvin.
"Such as magic in general. His head is on a hammer?"
Alvin took a long breath. I don't know why he felt the whole family was being lulid to him. Could it be that he is getting karma in a row?
"Darling, it looks like you've got a dangerous disease, huh!" he said while playing Daniza's clothes button.
"What dangerous diseases?" reply to the woman. Re-drawn some buttons that had been opened by her husband.
"Julid mania syndrome!"
Daniza laughed softly. It was fun flirting with Alvin like Mama Elvira did. Daniza feels very lucky to have Mama Elvira as her in-laws.
"Already, ah. Talk to Dedek." Alvin pulled out a blanket and brought the head closer to Daniza's stomach. Next to his hand rubbed the stomach that looks a little protruding from the usual.

"Beautiful morning, huh?"
Mama Elvira who had been sitting sweetly on the chair grinned when she saw her only son was neat with a work suit. Complete with a mask that covers the mouth and nose.
"What's wrong with you, Vin? Afraid of getting a virus?" ask again.
"Yes, Mah. There are new variants of the virus that need to be avoided. That's why I wear a mask."
Alvin immediately pulled out a chair to join in at the dining table. He deliberately uses a mask to protect his sense of smell from the smell of stinging food. Even the smell of butter was excruciating to him. He then glanced at some of the menus that were already available at the dining table.
"What breakfast do you want, Mas?" ask Daniza, when Alvin just fell silent.
"You eat fruit, you!" the question, after not finding a menu that is appetizing.
"I'm peeling an apple, will you?"
Alvin nodded slowly. Daniza immediately peeled the apples and put the pieces to the plate. At least eating fruit does not make Alvin nauseous like yesterday.
"Where's Eric, Vin? Tumben's not here yet? Usually this early in the morning already at home," asked the mother. Feeling incomplete if breakfast without Eric figure at the dining table.
"Don't search! Mama's favorite son is again kasmaran!" sambar Alvin's.
"Who else is kasmaran?" Just as Alvin finished his sentence, Eric's voice was heard greeting him on that sunny morning. Eric sat down next to Mama Elvira.
"Where are you from? New tumben coming?" ask the mama while rubbing durian jam onto the surface of the bread and put it on Eric's plate. Durian jam is Eric's favorite breakfast menu.
"Take Mila to the hospital, Auntie."
"Every once in a while take Mila to dinner at our house."
"Yes, Aunt. Later if Mila has free time." Eric rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed.
"Oh yeah .. how far along your relationship with Mila is. If you're serious, don't delay."
"On that ...." Eric's cheeks turned red.
"Basic bucin! He used to say he didn't like it." Alvin sneered, while putting pieces of fruit into his mouth.
"Shut up, Dodol!" grumbled Eric with glaring eyes.
"That's why don't sell expensive! Kualat is you! He said he didn't like it but was jealous until he had to lock Ruben up in the sewers" Alvin chirped unknowingly. Alvin's words were smooth like a highway that made Mama Elvira look suspiciously.
"Say what you just said?" the mama's cecar.
Alvin who had just realized immediately choked on the piece of fruit that he would swallow. Mama Elvira knows what they've done to Ruben.
"I mean, Eric got Ruben back behind the school, Mah! Yeah, it's Ric!" Alvin seeks a defense by nudging Eric's feet under the table.
"Well, you're a little bit of a mom's leg?" peekik the mama.
Alvin jumped. He thinks what he just nudged was Eric's leg. "Oh, who's nagging Mama's leg? Sorry, Mah! Sirain's feet Eric!"
Eric reflexes patting the eel. The fresh bread of durian jam that he chewed suddenly felt like durian skin.
