"May, aren't you barren?"
Maya immediately glared at her mother-in-law's question. The question that the woman should have given her son, why until now his wife was not also pregnant, it sounded very hurt Maya self-esteem. If only he had not promised Faisal to keep all that a secret, Maya might have cursed the woman in front of him all out.
"Look, my friends asked you how many months late?" Ms. Widia spoke again. Maya just turned the eyeball lazily. Whatever, serving the woman can be crazy on her own.
"Udah, Mom. I'm tired, I'm gonna take a break." Maya leaves the mother who is still babbling indistinctly in front of the house. Luna has been silent ever since. Returning from the hospital the girl did not comment on the results of Maya's examination.
Maya thought the problem of colds that had shocked her in-laws and sister-in-law was finished. But in fact this afternoon the mother came back to her house when Faisal just returned from the office. Again, the woman discussed the results of Maya's examination in the hospital.
"Mom's really embarrassed, son. Why isn't your wife pregnant?"
Faisal can still act relaxed. The man was very smart to persuade the mother, the proof was that the woman was immediately silent when Faisal offered something, he said,
"Mother don't want to go for a walk? Yesterday I saw the latest collection at Mom's subscription store."
The woman was straight. Ms. Widia answered quickly what Faisal had to offer.
"Sure, you want to take mom for a walk again? Keep buying clothes too?"
The conversation about pregnancy is forgotten. Maya immediately clucked. In addition to her mother-in-law's mistress is also very matre, and after this Maya believes she will be affected by the reduced monthly money rations.
The woman had already left after praising her son many times. Even to forget not to say goodbye to Maya. Stay a pair of husband and wife who are still silent with their own thoughts.
"You don't do anything, Mom. I also need to buy clothes with skincare, not just your mother," Maya protested to the man she had been married for three months. Faisal who was about to step in immediately turned his body again towards Maya,
"Later after Mom. You are patient first, right? Your clothes are good too."
Maya looked at her husband. Maybe if Vani will succumb when Faisal continues to be more concerned about the mother, unlike Maya who is accustomed to getting anything easily.
"So, you want your mother more? Your hair, Mas. Even since we got married, you haven't bought me a shirt."
Actually Faisal also wanted to be fair, but every time he received a salary for sure the mother and Luna had been waiting for him at the door. They always knew what date Faisal got his monthly salary.
"You can ask Papa, May. Aren't you the only child, Papa's time you're the only one whose son is deficient."
Shamelessly Faisal gave Maya a silly idea. The goal is that Maya does not have to whine constantly at him.
"You forgot that all my credit cards were blocked with Papa? And they'll give up the company if we have kids."
"When will your illness heal? Long time I can't stand it either, Mas, in the same corner Mom you keep."
Maya scowled, Faisal was so wrong to hear it.

"But you can't do any more heavy work, Van. I'm just afraid you'll get tired. Let Bik Minah do it all."
That's what Renan says every time he goes to the hospital. Though Vani only help in the kitchen, it was just cut vegetables or seasoning, but as if he did all the housework until Renan called it hard work.
Bik Minah who accidentally heard the conversation of her two employers could only smile. Sometimes the woman was moved to tears to see the change in Renan's attitude since marrying Vani. Renan's face looks fresh and always excited, in stark contrast to a few years ago.
"Bik, I picked Vani? Please let me know if there's anything. Later if Vani asks for something just love. Or Bibik can call me, let me find it."
Bik Minah until poultice with that sentence. Renan is indeed more attention when he knows the wife is two-bodied. Likewise his two in-laws who even so often visit home, even though they still live outside the city.
The woman nodded as she looked at the newlyweds who had begun to step out of the dining room.
Bik Minah understands, maybe Renan's attitude is sometimes a little possessive because he had felt the loss of his wife and prospective children. Renan also shut down because he was so frustrated, before finally getting to know Vani and slowly being able to change his world.
[I'm pregnant, Mas, not a sickle. So, you don't have to worry like that, ] said Vani every time he received a call from Renan. Every hour Renan will always contact Vani to ask what the woman is doing at home.
[I just don't want you to be lonely. Do you want to come here, let the driver pick you up?] asked Renan across the phone.
Vani just shook his head slowly. Renan is always sweet to her, no wonder if Vani feels very lucky to have a husband like Renan.
[I wait for you at home, Mas, after all there is Bibik who cemented me,] reply Vani after a long silence.
[So, are you waiting for me, Van?] Renan's answer was beyond Vani's expectations. That's not what Vani meant. She simply tried to subtly reject her husband's offer.
[Yes, I'll be home soon. I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you a long time.]
Jeez ....!
