A few months later...
Mentari really could not hide his disappointed facial expression, his hopes of becoming a PNS were gone already, Mentari did not pass in the second test,,, he said,, after he saw his name not appear in the announcement table given online, Mentari's mood deteriorated, all day he wrapped himself in a blanket and also complained about not feeling well.
Though Mentari had fantasized about being able to become a PNS, so that he was not labeled as unemployed, Mentari had previously intended that after he got a job, he would finance his sister's school until his sister graduated,, he said,, but it seems like luck has not been on his side now.
Ujang went into the room and stroked Mentari's hair very gently, Mentari squirmed lazily, Mentari did not sleep but she just wanted to close her eyes without doing anything.
"Dance, let's have lunch first" said Ujang.
"Abang, I no longer taste," said Mentari while closing his eyes again, Mentari pulled the blanket back when the weather outside was so hot.
"Abang, I really want to eat honey guava, but that is not too sweet, yesterday, Dance see the honey guava tree Mak Aisyah is already fruitful, Brother will not take it for me?" ask Mentari.
"Of course you want to, but you have to eat rice first, from this morning you have not eaten anything" said Ujang who tried to persuade his wife.
Mentari also forced himself to wake up, at this time the lips pale Mentari, inexplicably he felt tired even though he did nothing.
"Looks like you're sick, Dance, let's go to the doctor?" Ujang.
"No brother, Dari is afraid to take drugs especially on syringes, Dari is afraid," said Mentari quickly.
Ujang also took a plate containing rice, vegetable spinach and fried chicken, because his wife who looks lethargic, he who does homework today, starting from cooking,,, because his wife who looks lethargic, he who does homework today, starting from cooking,, washing and also cleaning.
"Here I take a bribe" said Ujang.
Mentari also approached Ujang. Then Mentari opened his mouth usually Ujang cuisine is always good at his tongue but why now it even feels strange, like not given salt at all.
"Udah, Tari is full now," said Mentari then took water and drank it, even though just a few mouthfuls of Mentari eating.
"Come one more time" said Ujang.
"No brother, Dance is full, later tonight we sleep at Mother's house well, Tari really want to eat gulai chicken pineapple," said Mentari,, who was not,, mentari's eyes glow imagining a taste of gulai and acid mixed in his mouth, the last few weeks he always felt strange.
"Alright, now you take a bath first or I bathe," teased Ujang with a full smile.
"Don't" Mentari firmly refused.
He knew very well what would happen if the offer had been received, Ujang looked very calm but very dangerous, Mentari had no energy to serve.
Ujang immediately smiled amusedly at the back of his wife who was away,, Ujang had told Azis that his wife was always asking for something very unusual,, Azis said it was common for pregnant women, as Ujang recalled, his wife had never come this month within two months, but Ujang did not want to force his wife to be sure, Ujang was afraid that his young wife was unprepared for reality, the fact that she would become a mother that quickly.
Ujang granted the desire of Mentari who wanted to eat honey guava, Mak Aisyah is a woman who is over sixty years old, the woman was active in giving studies to Mothers in the Village,,, and,, when Ujang expressed his desire to ask for the honey guava, Mak Aisyah immediately smiled.
"It looks like your wife is pregnant," whispered Mak Aisyah while giving the stairs to Ujang, the trunk of the honey guava tree is quite high, the hook that has a height of only a few meters is not enough to reach it.
"Aamiin, hopefully, well Mak, we haven't gone to check, he hasn't checked himself, I don't want to force him," Ujang said.
"It's only natural that she is young, usually women today are not ready to have children quickly," said Mak Aisyah.
They then looked at Mentari who was looking up at the tree, looking at the honey guava that was ready to be picked.
"Be careful Jang" said Mak Aisyah.
"Yes Mak" said Ujang, Ujang raised the wooden stairs and Mentari greeted him with great enthusiasm.
"You hold it well, Dance," said Ujang.
"Okay Abang," said Mentari spirit.
"Dance want that, do not be too mature Bang, not the right red, between ripe and not Bang," said Mentari.
"Means I should try first," said Ujang, at this time he had moved from the stairs to the branches of the guava tree.
"That's Bang near the head of Brother who still has green color," said Mentari with enthusiasm.
Ujang also agreed and took the guava.
Not long after the taste was enough Ujang came down from the tree, then handed the plastic bag that was full, Mentari received with eyes sparkling happy,,,, and,, they also thanked Mak Aisyah and then immediately went to the Mentari house.

"The eyes of honey guava, honey what's bitter gini, this is the name of poison guava," said Dika who complained and immediately threw the guava into the trash, when the new Mentari until just now, and then,, Dika directly snatched the Mentari plastic bag.
"Mak Aisyah's place, this is a young one, matured in the other plastic," said Mentari, unaware that he had eaten half of the plastic bag.
"This is the mature Dika, let's eat," said Ujang while putting one more plastic bag.
"Snake out?" ask Dika.
"Your brother does not like sweet things" said Ibu Mentari while looking at Mentari meaningfully.
"Tumben very usually also anti-sour," said Dika who did not want to lose.
"Eat it!! want the sour or want the sweet you just choose, do not need much protest," said Mentari.
"Sister is getting grumpy now, does Bang Ujang hold the same brother Mentari?" tanya Dika, and Ujang only answered with a smile.
"Which father?" ask Mentari.
"Not returned from the garden, we want to harvest palm oil but unfortunately the price of oil is now down somehow when it just rose again" said Ibu Mentari.
"Which garden is Ma'am?" ask Mentari.
"The garden near the artificial lake," replied Ibu Mentari.
Mentari nodded, he remembered that the garden had been bought two years ago and that it was not very large.
"Don't you help me fix my bike? the chain broke Bang," said Dika.
"Can, where's the bike?" ask Ujang.
"There is in the warehouse, let's Bang, Dika take the tools first," said Dika.
The two of them went to the warehouse, while Ibu Mentari immediately saw the plastic bag whose contents were almost exhausted.
"Since when do you like to eat honey guava, Dance?" Ibu Mentari asked, he knew very well that his son did not like to eat fruits.
"Lately, Mom, Dance likes to eat that usually Dance does not like, we deliberately nginap here because Tari wants to eat gulai chicken pineapple," said Mentari.
"Usually you don't like that" said Ibu Mentari again.
"Now Dance wants to be really, Mom," said Mentari.
"Mommy wants it but you answer honestly well," said Ibu Mentari.
Mentari stopped chewing and looked at her mother with a watchful eye.
"It seems very serious" said Mentari.
"Not really, but this is very important," said Ibu Mentari.
"What is Mom?" ask Mentari.
"Are you pregnant?" ask Mom Mentari.
Mentari was surprised and his eyes immediately rounded, he only remembered that for a long time he did not have monthly guests.
"Why do you ask that?" ask Mentari.
"From your tastes and habits, you seem to be pregnant young again" said Ms. Mentari.
"really?" said Mentari while approaching his mother.
"Indeed the long dance did not come months," said Mentari again.
"When was the last time?" ask Mentari's mother again.
"Don't remember, ma'am," replied Mentari.
"We should check first, because if you are really pregnant young, it is not good if you eat young pineapple," said Ibu Mentari.
Mentari heard his mother's words. Is she really pregnant right now?
