Zeo chuckled softly, "Well, papa uda's smart boy kicked ya. Stay healthy, baby." said Zeo kissed the stomach Adhira happy.
In contrast to Zeo who was happy and seemed excited, Adhira actually increasingly hated the three very much.
***
As promised , Zeo came home early today, the young man completed his work deadline crazily in order to go to college and go home quickly.
But even so, Smile did not escape his lips when remembering his children who started kicking this morning. Ah, Zeo had even forgotten how tired he was today most eagerly working to get home.
Oia, Zeo carrying a lot of stuff this afternoon, he was shopping for vegetables and fruits and also all took laundry before heading home earlier.
Anyway, today he will do all the homework and intend to make a nice dinner to celebrate the liveliness of his children. It will make Nikujaga his favorite, a fruit salad for Adhira and a vegetable soup for dinner.
"Adhira" Call Zeo to take off his shoes with his feet. Difficulty because of the amount of groceries in his hands.
"Dhir-uh, Auntie?" call Zeo as soon as he finds his two in-laws and sister-in-law sitting in the viewing room.
"Eh Zeo, uda's home? Adhira said you go home all night. It's still 6 but,"
"Geez your groceries are so much, here let auntie help" said Mira helped Zeo down her things.
Zeo scratched his head, he glanced at Adhira who was unwilling to look at him. The woman kept staring at the tv with a plate of mango in her hand. "Em, yes, Zeo did try to go home early this afternoon, om, same aunt Devan how are you?" zeo asked still in his confused mood. Wonder why his father-in-law is in his apartment. Did Adhira contact her parents after their quarrel last night.
Mira smiled, "We're good."
"It is appropriate to leave a pregnant wife alone at home even late at night, whether you really work or just your wits just go home at night." Deni said.
"Mas, Zeo is also in college, you are." defended Mira.
Zeo nodded he smiled very awkwardly.
"Yaudah, you take a bath there Ze, aunt uda cook it later we have dinner together" said the father-in-law softly.
Again and again Zeo nodded, "Em, but if om, aunty and others eat first do not papa, later I followed."
"Don't bang, later the debaynya do not want to eat if the papa does not eat. Isn't that brother?" said Devan stroked his big brother's stomach which immediately got a glance from Adhira.
Devan laughed in satisfaction, "His cereal" said the boy grimily.
"Yes, that's right Ze, yaudah there you quickly take a shower" said Mira somewhat pushing Zeo away.

At dinner, there was no sound except the voice of Devan who sometimes asked this vegetable and that to his mother.
Zeo glanced at Adhira, the woman eating very slowly. Zeo remembered how hard the woman had eaten dinner. Is Adhira still nauseous? "Lo-Amm why are you? nauseous?" zeo asked spontaneously which made all eyes look at Adhira in confusion. Presumably shocked by Zeo's voice that broke the silence other than Devan.
"Let me take a bribe if I'm still nauseous" said Zeo pulling Adhira's plate. The young man is now beginning to understand that Adhira can only eat from his food marks. Although as a person who grew up in sakura dinrgri, Zeo was not sure about such things, but secretly Zeo held his smile because he understood it because of the actions of his children.
Adhira threw away his face as Zeo thrust food in front of his mouth. "Ck, let me just." Adhira ketus. "Not to be so good." Adhira said somewhat brushed off Zeo's hand.
"Sister, how come, eat dong." Mira said.
"Later lemes loh, yes eat yes to feed Zeo, kasian your children later. The twins are starting to get active."
Zeo immediately glanced at her in-laws as if asking how they knew about Adhira's twin pregnancies. But he didn't know anyone for one thing.
"Sister who told me that the baby was twins" said Devan, echoing Zeo's thoughts.
"Ah, that's it" Zeo smiled widely, he nodded happily. Why does his feeling immediately break. This feeling is like a feeling of pride for an unclear thing.
"Yes, Adhira is pregnant with twins, we just checked two days ago auntie. " Said Zeo without being asked.
Zeo nodded stiffly, "Iya Tan, Grandma Zeo twins, Adek Zeo is also twins"
Mira smiled faintly. "That grace, now eat yuk sis. You just ate rujak doang loh"
"Sir"
"Eat Adhira" Deni said suddenly. Makes the ones there a little surprised especially Zeo.
"Ck, Dhira isn't laper well" said the woman jerking Zeo's hand as the young man reached out his spoon.
"And lo-Don't be a good-ass in front of the family I'm a bastard, chirp" Adhira spit on Zeo's chest. Zeo clenched his hands restraining emotions.
"Adhiro!" snarl Deni harder.
Adhira looked at her father with teary eyes. "Well, why did Adhira snap? You're more of a fucking asshole than Dhira?" angered Adhira as he felt cornered, it was as if everyone was defending Zeo, not him.
"Sister"
"Mama is also the same, Mama Belain This bastard continues than Adhira. Though you all know what he did to torture Dhira all this time, What is this slap is still not enough, I hate you." A touch of Adhira left the dining room, the woman sat in the viewing room crying.
Because of the position of the apartment that is less spacious, everything in the dining room can still see the back of Adhira who sits on the sofa. The woman cried.8eo was about to rise from her seat but Deni's voice prevented her.
"Let's just, don't you come to my son while you're still in the emotional sphere."
Devan who again saw the quarrel between the son-in-law and the in-laws immediately rose from his seat while carrying a plate. "Devan sat with my sister" he said, making room for the three adults to speak freely.
As soon as Devan left, Zeo lowered his head in the middle of his in-law gaze.
"Did you guys fight last night?" ask Deni that like a statement is not a question.
Zeo was silent, he knew his two in-laws would ask that when he saw Adhira's cheek that was still a bit blue because of her slap last night, and also the lips of the woman who was slightly injured because of their night activities. Oh yeah, and don't forget some kissmark on that woman's neck. And of course the puffy eyes and lethargic face of Adhira which certainly immediately explains everything.
"Don't you think, you stay away from me, you can at will hurt my son. I don't care if you're her husband or not but if you act too late on my son, I'll-
"But I did that because Adhira hurt my son." cut Zeo boldly, he stared at his two in-laws firmly. If he is in contact with his children, he will do everything. Including fighting the two in-laws in front of him.
"Just like om and aunt who would do anything to protect Adhira and Devan. I also did the same thing to protect both of my future children."
Silent.
The two parents of Adhira had no voice. This was the first time that Zeo had dared to cut his words.
"I just did the same thing that Om did, I wanted to protect my children from his mother's hatred of me" Zeo said. "I don't need to explain how Adhira tries to hurt my kids with those pills and sodas right?"
"I admit, I once promised to look after or love Adhira. Please let me try to do it even though it has not been done perfectly. I also love my kids. I love them." said Zeo again lowering his head.
Quite a long moment of silence enveloped the three until Deni finally spoke again after taking a deep breath. "Next month of Adhira's birthday commemorates the day of his mother's death."
Zeo looked at her in-laws, somewhat shocked at the change in conversation.
"Take him home a week before his birthday." Deni said slowly. Actually, he wanted to get angry. But when hearing Zeo's defense. Why is his heart a little bit. His son-in-law loved his future grandchildren.
Zeo smiled faintly, he nodded his head in agreement. In silence Zeo thought whether his two in-laws were no longer judging him? Did both of his in-laws understand his position?
But whatever it is, Zeo is very grateful for it.
