Alika pregnancy has now entered the seventh month. Alika has become harder to move around. But when alika was alternately cooking to eat together with her sister-in-law unexpectedly her gas cylinder ran out. He could no longer squat down to cook using the wood stove below. For fear of cooking so bad because not yet mature alika looking for tajudin to ask for help buy gas elpiji size three kilos.

"Sister! Can you help me?" Shouted alika at the side door towards the hut to make brown sugar.

"What's wrong?" Sahut tajudin only looked at his head.

"The gas is over! The cuisine is not yet mature. Can I ask you to buy gas in the stall?" Alika raised her voice a little.

"Ahk! You can just make it bother! Your own effort! Such a small gas cylinder is not heavy for you to lift!" Answer tajudin without switching from his place.

Alika who got an answer from her husband can only try to be patient so as not to be tortured again by her husband. Alika slowly began to release her hose carefully then tried to lift her up to the stall. With the condition of seven months pregnant must lift the gas cylinder by themselves while the husband just sat waiting for the fire of firewood so as not to die who saw it was very sad with the current state of alika.

"You bought three kilos of gas!" Alika said after arriving at the stall.

"Loh! Why did you pick up Alika yourself? Where's your husband? You're pregnant, you can't lift heavy!" Said dartem's mother who had a stall.

"It's okay mom! Self-sufficiency is better than having to ask for help!" Reply to the alika who covered her husband's ugliness with a smile.

"You yaa.. What is your heart made of? Don't cover up your husband's ugliness! Everyone knows who tajudin is!" Said the mother of dartem who had understood the behavior of tajudin from childhood."This is the gas alika. Uh, let me tell you to take her to your house!" Dartem's mother's rose could not bear alika.

"No need mom! Just let me be alone! Thanks." Thanks." Sahut alika rejected the offer of mother dartem and immediately stepped away with a fairly heavy gas.

With a step gontai carrying a gas cylinder that has been filled in the plus stomach alika a large pregnant makes sweat poured all over his body under the hot sun. Because tired alika several times stop his steps to regulate the breath so as not to get tired. Finally, alika reached the house of tajudin and tajudin saw alika who was exhausted carrying a gas cylinder but he just kept silent to see alika who was carrying the gas cylinder. Alika managed to get in front of the stove and install her own hose but could not until finally tareni came. Tareni has just returned from the house of the tajudin brothers for a friendship because he only arrived last week.

"Alika! What are you doing?" Tareni asked to see Alika squatting in trouble installing a hose.

"Hadeehh.. Oh Allah is tired! But the hose is so hard to put!" Sahut alika wiped the sweat on his forehead that poured.

"Why not ask for help judin?" Tareni said he could not bear to see the face of alika who was pale.

"I've asked her for help! But yes that's how it is. Brother already knows his own answer!" Sahut alika with a very deep look of disappointment.

"You are patient, Alika. Tajudin has been like that for a long time! If it wasn't for wanting something, she wouldn't care about anyone else!" Tareni said give understanding to alika while installing a gas hose.

Now the hose is installed correctly and alika continues the cooking until it matures. Alika served it on a plate and ate with tareni for asking for rice from tareni.

The more days come here alika and tajudin the more harmonious. Tajudin's selfish and rude nature makes alika increasingly impatient to deal with him. One night when everyone was asleep only alika and tajudin were still arguing on his bed.

"I want to go home!" Say alika with a sitting position against the tajudin.

"My stomach is getting bigger. Now my gestational age is almost entering the eighth month. I was allowed to give birth in my town!" Say it again without caring about the anger of tajudin.

"Can be quiet! I said no need to go home!" Tajudin's screams began to ignite emotions and rose from his sleep.

"I don't want to know! The point is I just want to give birth at my house with my mom!" Said alika kekeh with her decision still with the position of her back to the tajudin sitting at the edge of the bed.

"Laughs! You stubborn woman! Can she always deny my orders!" Shouted tajudin clutching the nape of alika and pressed his face alika to the wall until alika almost lost her breath.

"Yeah! Aaaa! To-l-ong!" Alika could not get her words out because the tajudin continued to press the nape of alika on the wall.

Alika continued trying to be able to escape from the hands of the tajudin by banging on the door next to her. Tajudin floundered because alika kept saying in his principle. Wardiyo heard the sound of a door in the gedor finally woke up and looked to the source of the sound.

"What's in tajudin's room? Did he go back to torturing alika again? Worry if it is like that. She's pregnant again!" The confused wardiyo murmur should be how.

Wardiyo finally woke up the tareni to help her break down the door of the tajudin room.

"Darling! Heh who woke up! Please alika! Looks like tajudin's back to torturing alika!" Whispering cardiyo because it does not want all of them awake.

"Well! Alika is pregnant. Poor him! Let's help you!" Whisper the tareni and rise towards the alika room following the steps of her husband.

When the wardiyo and tareni are in front of the room alika she screams a little.

"Alika! Are you all right?" Said Wardiyo stick his head on the door of the tajudin room.

Brak! Brak! Brak! Brak!

"Oh Allah, why?" Tareni's words are starting to worry.

Finally, without thinking long cardiyo broke down the door of the tajudin room with one kick already made the door open. But what happened.

"Astaghfiullah! Tajudiiinnn!!" Shouted tareni who saw the tajudin strangling the nape of alika with a face like a fidelity.

Bhug! Bhug! Bhug!

Wardiyo beat the tajudin to fall to the floor.

Alika who had almost lost her life continued to inhale the air greedily and fell down with a position leaning against the wall. Tareni kept rubbing alika's back to warm up. Tareni helps alika get up from her sitting on the floor and takes her out of the room. Dariyah and Darun finally also woke up because of the commotion that occurred at home at eleven o'clock in the night.
