“How was the meeting with Mbak Sekar's father and mother, Mas?” adelia asked after greeting her husband who had just come home from work. Yes, Adi today is still working. He met the parents of Sekar Ayu during lunch break and then returned to the office again.
“Alhamdulillah smoothly,” Adi replied. “How's Mbak inside, don't bother Umi ‘kan?” Adi lowered his head, stroked his wife's distended stomach and kissed her.
“Alhamdulillah well, Abi. Umnya not asked the news, Mas?” Adelia pretended to pout.
Adi stood up straight and kissed Adelia on the cheek. “How are you, Ai, umMya Mbak?”
“Alhamdulillah good.” Adelia smiled back.
Adi grabbed the wife's shoulder and then they went into the room. Adelia prepares a change of clothes for her husband while Adi puts down her briefcase and takes off her watch and belt that all day coiled around her body.
“Mas Adi, want to directly shower ‘kan?” Adelia put a change of clothes on their bed.
“Iya. Alhamdulillah,” Adi said after drinking a glass of water that Adelia had prepared in the room.
“Let's take a shower I went straight to the mosque, Ai. This Magrib Mepet.” Adi took off the shirt and pants of the material he was wearing. Put it in a new dirty laundry basket then rush into the bathroom.
“Iya, Mas.” Adelia took the empty glass and brought it to the kitchen. Back to fill it to the brim and then placed on the dining table. He began preparing food for their dinner.
After Magrib's prayer, they had dinner together. Adelia painstakingly took rice, vegetables, and side dishes for Adi.
“Thank you, Ai,” said Adi after the wife put the plate in front of her.
“Sama-sama, Mas,” reply Adelia while taking rice for herself.
Adi waited until Adelia was done. They prayed together and started eating.
“Mas Adi, dong story earlier how did he meet his father and mother Mbak Sekar,” pinta Adelia.
“Yes is normal, no matter what. The point is they feel embarrassed and apologized to us for the actions of Sekar,” explained Adi.
“That's it?” adelia asked in disbelief.
“They did not ask for a reduced penalty for Mbak Sekar?”
Adi shakes. “No. Some papa already said that we have forgiven, but the legal process continues.”
“Alhamdulillah, I am so relieved, Mas.” Adelia stroked her stomach.
“Ai, it is ready ‘kan next week so witness at the trial?” Adi looked at his wife. Wanted to see his reaction.
“God willing. Later the day before I went to a psychologist first for a consultation, Mas. Let me be more calm."
"Yes, it's okay. Don't let that be a burden on your mind, Ai. I don't want you to keep dropping the same effect on your pregnancy." Adi's hand stroked Adelia's hand on the table.
Adelia nodded. "Yes, I know, Mas. I want to keep Mama until birth and raise her. I don't want anything to do with you either." One hand of Adelia stroked her already bloated stomach.
"I'm taking her to her psychologist?" tawar Adi's.
"It doesn't matter, Mas. I'm just like Arsen. He has no college schedule. Let's bring papa's car."
"Just use our car, Ai. I'm going to take the bike to the office tomorrow. Arsenio's here with the motor kept in the rich garage usually."
"Yes already then. I'll tell him later."
"Ai, you know what? After the meeting, I became more grateful because my proposal was rejected by Mr. Gatot. I have your wife. The soul is one of the divine mysteries. We never know when we will meet and how to meet our soul mate. Like a proverb 'acid in the mountain, salt in the sea, meet in the lake' which means something that has been destined together even though separated as far as possible, will eventually remain together. That's how we are, Ai."
"My proposal was rejected by Sekar. Ai, failed to marry Restu. We never knew each other either. God has brought us into this house. And now we're husband and wife. God willing, soon we will be parents for Ma'am." Adi looked at his wife. Reveal through the eyes how grateful and loving she is to Adelia.
