Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Auntie, Not Mama!

Feeling his name called, of course, makes the owner of the name turn to the source of the sound. How surprised Arumi when he saw the second wife of his father-in-law standing gracefully while smiling at him.

"M-m ...." The tiny lips were about to call Lena with a 'mama'. However, suddenly a shadow of Rayyan's face flashed through his mind and made the young woman re-tool her words. "Tante Lena!" arumi shouted while getting up from the chair.

According to Arumi, calling Lena 'tante' is the best choice for the woman because she does not want any more problems in her newly built household for a month longer. The woman recalled how her emotions Rayyan when she heard herself calling the second wife of her father-in-law 'mama'. Reflecting on the incident, Arumi tried not to repeat it again in order to maintain the feelings of the husband.

Meanwhile, Lena was silent for a while when she heard her favorite daughter-in-law calling herself aunty. Even though the night after the wedding reception was held, the beautiful doctor called himself 'mama.' Secretly, there was a sense of disappointment in the middle-aged woman but she tried to cover up her disappointment.

"How are you, honey?" Lena gave a firm hug to her beloved daughter-in-law. Although Arumi is only the wife of her stepson, but Lena still considers the beautiful doctor like her own biological son-in-law. There was no reason for the middle-aged woman to hate Arumi even though the son-in-law would not give her a grandchild.

The news of Arumi's pregnancy was deliberately hidden first. Rayyan deliberately took the decision, because he did not want if his wife's weakness was used as an opportunity for bad people to harm the wife and her three children in the womb of Arumi. Only a few people know and they are asked to shut up until the age of three or four months. After that, Rayyan announced to everyone about Arumi's pregnancy.

"My news is fine, Auntie." The hug unraveled, the two of them throwing smiles at each other.

"Have not met for a long time. Ehm .. If not one of about a month more, right? Last time, the night after the wedding reception took place" Lena said.

Arumi smiled stiffly, feeling overwhelmed by Lena's words. Although far from the deepest heart, the middle-aged woman did not intend to insinuate the son-in-law at all but Arumi's feelings were more sensitive since the doctor said that she was two-bodied.

"Right, Auntie. Sorry if I didn't get to see Aunt after the wedding reception. I just don't want Mas Rayyan to get angry and instead cause a conflict between the two of us." Arumi reveals the reason why during this one month or so he did not meet Lena at all, even sending a short message did not. He did that merely wanting to keep the feelings of Rayyan, the man who had married him.

Instead of being angry, Lena smiled broadly. He rubbed Arumi's shoulder gently. "Don't apologize, 'cause it's not all your fault." The middle-aged woman paused her sentence. He cleared his throat to get rid of something that stuck in his throat. "Tante, can understand why you have no news at all."

Sick? Of course Lena felt sick when the son-in-law of the people outside there called the in-laws 'mama' or 'mother', while her own daughter-in-law called her 'tante'.

"Oh yeah, who are you here with? Just alone with your assistant?" Lena tried to divert the conversation. He does not want to dissolve in sadness which even makes him more hurt and disappointed.

"I went with Mas Rayyan, but she was shopping at the supermarket for a while. We planned to go visit Mama, and deliberately stopped by here to buy some fruits and gifts to give to Mama," explained Arumi. Lena nodded her head, responding to her daughter-in-law's words.

Lena gave a smile, in her heart she was grateful at least Rayyan was so considerate and very affectionate Nyimas. Although Rayyan never devoted to the woman like a child to her biological mother, at least Rayyan can be devoted to Arumi's adoptive mother.

There was silence for a moment. Lena still gives a warm smile to Arumi while watching the cross-section of the wife of her stepson carefully.

"Arumi, dear. Auntie noticed you were getting prettier. And .. Your body is getting fuller like a pregnant woman." Lena's eyes continued to look at Arumi's body. There was not an inch of the pretty doctor's limbs out of Lena's reach.

Arumi smiled clumsyly. It feels like the woman told Lena that she is currently pregnant. However, he muffled the feeling and waited for Rayyan herself to announce it to everyone.

Lena shook her head. "Yes it's okay. Even if your body is getting fuller, Auntie is sure, Rayyan still loves you for who you are." Then, the two women of different ages engaged in a short conversation while enjoying a warm drink at the cafe.

"Aunty herself, why is she at this mall?" chirps Arumi. At that time he was scooping matcha cake into his mouth. Too busy chatting to forget to ask why the mother continued her husband was in the same mall with him. What an unexpected coincidence.

Lena put her coffee cup back on the table, then removed the corner of her lips with the rest of the coffee using a tissue. "Tante's here because there's an appointment with Raihan. It just so happened that we were both planning to go visit Auntie's brother who was being treated at the hospital."

Hearing Lena's reply, Arumi paused for a moment her activities. The women's eyebrows are linked to each other. "Dearn? Aunty's son with Papa Firdaus?" ask to make sure.

Arumi is not very familiar with the figure of Raihan, the youngest son of Firdaus with Lena. When the wedding reception was held, Rayyan's sister who works as a lecturer at one of the health faculties in the city of Jakarta did not show much of her nose. The man prefers to be alone rather than having to have a conversation with a stranger. So it is natural that Arumi does not know her sister-in-law too well.

Lena nodded her head. "really. Aunt with Mas Firdaus. Um. .. Rayyan's sister."

"Don't talk shit!" spray Rayyan suddenly. The man had already stood up while casting a sharp gaze towards Lena. The two men's hands lined up two bags of recyclable groceries.

Reflexes, Arumi and Lena turned simultaneously towards Rayyan. The man's face was red, his chest was flattened. It is hard to hold back the emotions so as not to explode.

"Mas Rayyan," said Arumi lirih.

Ms. Tini who was sitting near Arumi rushed to take two bags of groceries that were being lined up by the employer, then chose to stay away not to be involved in the internal affairs of the three adults.

Rayyan reached out to Arumi, then carried the woman's body behind her as if she was protecting a piece of diamond from being snatched away by others.

"I warn you, never say anything silly to my wife! Because at any time, I will never consider you or that English Boy as family. My mom is just Mama Mei Ling and I'm an only child! I have no sister or sister!" Rayyan. The man gave a cold look towards Lena.

And at the same time, Raihan was in the same place. Seeing Lena in a state of danger, making the handsome lecturer speed up the steps to approach the mother.

With a quick movement, Raihan hid Lena behind his body. "Never say anything rude to my mother!" raihan is no less emotional.
