The tasyakuran event went smoothly, although there were a few unexpected incidents in the middle of the event but all could be overcome as quickly as possible due to Nyimas' interference as an intermediary. The middle-aged woman managed to eliminate the anger in Rini caused by Rayyan and Arumi's negligence. The gentle attitude and high compassion make Arumi's close friend disappear instantly.
"Other times, you two can't hide anything from me anymore" said Rini still with a sullen face like a child who was sulking at the mother for not buying a new toy.
"Yes, promise. This is the first and last time I'm covering something up for you. In the future there will be no similar events." Arumi replied to Rini. He was determined not to repeat the same mistake later. The woman did not want her friendship relationship that was established for dozens of years ran aground because of a misunderstanding.
Reflecting on the events in the past, Arumi keeps the good rope of her friendship with Rini. It was enough for the woman to lose one friend, and she would not repeat it a second time. For the woman, Rini is the best friend who is always there in times of joy and sorrow. Best friend forever, according to Arumi.
"You too, Ray. If there's any important news, let me know immediately. I don't want to be the last person to hear the good news about my best friend. Keep that in your heart and mind!"
Rayyan took a deep breath. Just this time there was a woman who dared to threaten him. The man's body began to feel hot, starting from the heart then creeping into the earlobe and the flushed face held back anger. Not accepting if someone threatens him.
"OKAY. I promise I'll tell you soon. Satisfied?" rayyan. However, for the last sentence he did not dare to voice in front of Rini, given the current woman is pregnant and the mood is often fickle makes the man more careful not to offend the mother of this one.
"Excuse me, sir, Mom." The presence of Mbak Tini followed by the mbok interrupted everyone in the living room. Then, the two women bent both knees as they slowly approached them. His second hand carried a tray of warm tea, warm coffee complete with a basket of corn and fried bananas as a snack.
At this time Arumi and others were sitting only on zabuton (alas sitting on the floor, made of foam made of cloth). Therefore, the two household assistants stepped closer to the round table made of glass by bending both knees.
After putting warm drinks and snacks on the table, the two assistants withdrew. Resuming work that was delayed.
"Come, Nak Rini and Nak Rio, drink first. While it's still warm." Nyimas invited the two special guests in front of him to enjoy the dishes on the table.
Rio reached out his hand forward, grabbing the coffee cup presented by Mbak Tini. He inhaled the pure aroma of coffee in front of him, then sipped it slowly.
"How did you know we were at Mama Nyimas' house?" Rayyan opened her voice after sipping the assistant's coffee.
Looks Rini so enjoy the fried banana made by the mbok. Processed food derived from banana kepok wrapped in wheat flour mixed with a little salt is a favorite food of good friend Arumi. He will spend a lot of fried bananas in a day because for him the food tastes delicious when chewed.
Seeing Rini so enjoy her favorite food, it made Rio inevitably represent the wife explaining why they could be at Nyimas' house.
Rio was a little hesitant to come clean, for being worried if the reason sounded unreasonable. However, they have come a long way if they do not get what they want then their sacrifice is in vain.
Although hesitant, he still expressed the purpose of his arrival to the house. "Ehm ... actually my arrival and Rini here deliberately wanted to meet with the two of you."
"Since last night, my wife's been cranky. I don't understand why it's like this. After I investigated, it turned out that he was cravings." Rio paused his sentence for a moment while looking at the faces of Rayyan, Arumi and Nyimas alternately.
The room went back into silence as Rio fell silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure of the Middle Eastern-faced man ahead. While Rini, she did not care about the surrounding environment at all. Still fun to chew fried bananas made by the mbok.
Bumil base, for stomach affairs remains number one! How not to contain, almost a few minutes once the stomach feels hungry because he is now not alone, but there is another life growing in the woman's womb.
"Rini .. cravings .. want her stomach rubbed by Rayyan, Aunt."
"Shiits!" murmured Rayyan felt Rini's desire was unreasonable. How could he possibly rub a woman's distended stomach while in this world no other woman had ever been touched by him other than Arumi after Mei Ling's departure. Yes, although later he wore gloves as a protector, but it feels strange because the stomach rubbed by him is not the fruit of his love with his wife.
Rio's speech made Arumi wide-eyed, then glanced at Rini. 'Why can you ask to be treated by someone's husband? Really weird.'
"Yes, Ray. My wife cravings to be rubbed in her stomach by you." Rio put on a serious face, anxious if he was accused of bragging.
"Before coming here, I actually went to your apartment, but apparently there was not a single person there. I finally decided to drive my vehicle to Aunt Nyimas' house. Turns out I was right, you're here." Rio explained his chronology of why he was able to arrive at Arumi's foster mother's house.
Nyimas chuckled for a moment. "There are indeed types of pregnant women who crave like that. Sometimes his wishes don't make sense to some people. But that's the truth. It all depends on you."
Rayyan fell silent. Staring at Arumi's face while occasionally glancing towards the pregnant woman who was still busy chewing the fried banana. I don't know how many fried bananas have gone into the stomach. However, for sure now the wife of his best friend was so happy because he could enjoy again his favorite food.
"I beg you, Ray, just this once. You help me realize Rini's wish. Although I know that in this world only Arumi can tame your strange disease, but for the sake of the baby in my wife's womb, be merciful to us." Rio even willingly pleaded before everyone, hoping that Rayyan would be willing to grant the wishes of the baby in the womb of the wife.
Rayyan looks at Arumi. The two look at each other. Through the eyes, the couple seemed to be communicating in silence. Even though the lips are locked tightly, but the heart keeps saying. Until finally a deal was reached.
"Okay, I'm ready. But ... As usual, I wear gloves as a protector because I don't want my freak disease to recur after touching your wife's stomach."
Rayyan decides to help Rio, her best friend. Remember that Arumi is currently pregnant. Imagine if the wife is in the position of Rini then he will do the same for the sake of the fruit of his love in the womb of his beloved wife.
Rayyan's heavy voice stopped Rini's activities. A smile rose at the corner of his lips hearing the handsome doctor's willingness to gently rub his distended stomach.
So, Rini also began to position herself comfortably while waiting for Rayyan to put on gloves so as not to come into contact with other women. When he is ready, he does his job.
Slowly, Rayyan began to gently rub Rini's distended stomach. Although the stomach touched by him is not the fruit of his love with Arumi, but he still felt a soft pounding in his heart.
'Honey, you don't misjudge, son. The hand that was on top of Mama's belly was not your Papa's hand, but the Polar Bear Uncle's hand that had melted after meeting Aunty Arumi. Later, it is big you have to respect it just as you respect Papa and Mama, Rini said in her heart.
