After dinner, it was customary that Alex, Nara and Serena would gather in the living room. Nara and Alex look at Serena who looks strange tonight. The middle-aged woman was seen several times wiping the sweat on her temples. Even though the temperature in the room did not feel hot at all even though the room was not air-conditioned. But the wind blowing from the wide open side door was quite large.
“Mama why? Is mama not healthy?” ask Nara worried.
“Em... Uh it's okay. Mama is okay.” Answer Serena. Although he felt Alex had been good to him, but he still felt Alex still gave him a little distance.
“If there's something you want, mama just talk. Don't dipendak.” Nara reached out her hand to grab Serena's hand that was on her thigh.
Serena looked at Alex and Nara alternately.
“Mama wants grandchildren.” Serena said in doubt.
Hearing Serena's wish, Nara lowered her head. He felt like an imperfect son-in-law. Alex who saw the change Nara immediately clasped Alex's hand.
“Ma we've tried. But what can I do if God has not given it to us.”
“Mama knows. But you've been married a long time. Mama heard the pregnancy program at the Y hospital is very famous. Many couples who came there and succeeded.”
After hearing the words of Runi, Serena immediately sought information on how to get pregnant quickly. And Serena learned about the pregnancy program from the internet.
“Good mama. If you want us to go there, I'll have Gibran set our schedule.” Alex is serious.
“It's good. I'm sorry, mama Nara. Mama knows this must hurt your feelings. But mama did all this too for your happiness.” Serena grabbed Nara's hand and stroked her.
“Nara knows ma. Its alright. Sorry for being so selfish. Alex once invited Nara to join the pregnancy program, but Nara was afraid to be disappointed again.” Answer Nara honestly.
“You deserve to be parents.”
Alex looked at Nara. Actually, he also really wanted to have children, but he saw that Nara was not ready. His wife is still traumatized after losing their baby. That's why Alex doesn't want to force it. They are still young.

As Serena pleases, Nara and Alex go to the Y hospital to join the pregnancy program. Gibran had already vacated his second schedule that day. The secretary was also sucked to adjust the schedule according to the schedule of both visiting doctors.
Today is the first day Alex and Nara meet with the doctor who will be their companion named Doctor Kania.
After explaining the condition of Nara who had uterine cancer, Kania's doctor immediately performed blood tests both Nara and Alex. Because to get pregnant not only need Nara, but also Alex as her husband.
Blood tests are designed to detect possible hormone-related problems that make it difficult to get pregnant.
In addition to blood tests, Nara is also advised to do tests to determine the shape of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Alex always accompanies Nara in every examination.
“How are the results of our examination doctor?” ask Alex. When they come back to the hospital to receive the results of the previous examination.
Doctor Kania read the report in his hand carefully before smiling and saying calmly. “The conditions of the lord and mistress are all good. The condition of the uterus of mistress Nara is also very good and ready to be fertilized.”
Nara and Alex were relieved when they heard the doctor's explanation. That means they have the opportunity to have children naturally. Initially, Nara and Alex were already planning to perform artificial insemination or baby tubes to get a child. But after hearing they were fine, the plan would only be the last resort.
Doctor Kania gives some advice to Nara and Alex. About their frequency of sex, helping Nara to bring about the fertile period and also the best position during intercourse.
Doctor Kania also told Nara what foods need to be consumed to make her ovum more healthy and have a great chance when fertilization occurs.
After returning from the hospital, Nara immediately invited Alex to shop at the mall. He wanted to buy the ingredients described by the doctor Kania.

Alex pushes the trolley running behind Nara. While Nara who will be in front seriously choose two fish in her hand. So he decided to choose tuna. But he had not put it in the trolley, again he was confused to buy a whole or fillet when he saw salmon fillet in the storefront.
“Which good dearest?” Nara showed him two salmon in her hand. One is already in the fillet, while the other is still intact.
“Where do I know.” Alex shrugged his shoulders. The two never went shopping.
“Hai Alex, Nara, you guys are shopping?” Virly who happens to be shopping immediately approached Nara and Alex when he saw the two people.
“Oh yes.” Nara smiled awkwardly.
Nara and Virly are one of the faculty. One class too. But they were both not close at all. Virly has always been famous for being easy friends. While Nara is famous for girls who are difficult to approach.
Virly also dated Roy. Though previously much talked about if Roy likes Nara. But in the end prefer to retreat due to the threat of Bhishma.
“Sounds like you guys need help.” Virly is getting closer. “You want to cook salmon?” he continued when he did not get an answer from Nara or Alex.
“Iya.” Nara finally answered.
“Ooh. I think both are good. It depends what you do. What do you want to make?”
“Not yet know. I'm not picky about food. The important is tasty.”
“How about I cook the Salmon Steak? Coincidentally I also want to meet Aunt Serena.” Without waiting for a response, Virly had already stuffed some salmon fillets into the troly. Then without giving Nara a chance to interrupt her words, Virly took some complementary ingredients that she would use to make salmon steak.
After a while, the three of them finally finished shopping. Because Virly has helped her and Nara, Alex finally kind enough to pay Virly enough groceries because the girl is shopping weekly.
“I go straight to your house. I just happened to not have a car today. My car is in the workshop.” Said Virly as they were about to get out.
Inevitably Alex and Nara agree to Virly's request. Alex put his groceries in the trunk. Virly's groceries were placed in the back seat. Next to Virly.
“Are you not busy Virly? If you're busy we don't mind taking you home.” Nara. It felt so strange when someone else was in his car. He feels uncomfortable.
“No. I still have no job.” Answer Virly. He glanced at Alex who was behind the wheel.
“Oh Nara finally resigned. Alex who saw the change in Nara's facial expression understood that his wife was feeling uncomfortable. But he also cannot just throw someone out let alone he said he wanted to see his mother.
