Bita awakens when she feels someone's hand touch her head, she twitches slowly to see Alze next to her. "when are you coming home?" ask Bita slowly sitting while leaning on the back of the mattress. She was astonished to look at her husband's disheveled face, "what's the matter?"
Alze flinched then shook his head slowly, "no one, no longer tired" he replied slowly. Bita's forehead shriveled, since when Alze changed her way of speaking especially with her, there must be something wrong with the man.
"honestly Al, what's up?" ask Bita again, Alze shook his head slowly. "later after quiet I tell ya, you just rest first." he said while peeking at his wife's forehead and went out of the room.
Bita just silently looked at the back of her husband who had disappeared from her sight. In fact, she was still curious about her husband. "maybe it's not bad news."

Alze took a sip of a cigarette to calm his mind. He thought the matter would be solved, but it wasn't. For ten months he was married to Byta, but did not make his mother accept his wife.
"mama's not kidding anymore, is she?" he muttered inexhaustibly, he hoped that his mother would change her mind about it.
"What else do you think?" sam asked to walk towards his brother. It is not usual for the man to smoke in a room like this, especially at home.
Alze did not answer, his mood was not at the moment, he shook his hand at Sam to let himself go first.
"mama said, right?" guess Sam made Alze look up to him.
"relax, don't think about it. You can take Bita out of here, if it's mama maksa you guys divorced." said Sam throw cigarettes into the trash can.
"why did you throw it away?"
"it's not good for health" he said, then took the vape out of his pocket. Alse clucked resentfully at his sister. "it makes no difference to stupid Vape!"
"hahaha, dong. This one's lighter than tobacco, sis, what now?"
"what?"
"what I said earlier,gue was also shocked when mom said it was like that. I'm sure someone has instigated my mom" he said slowly. He also did not like the decision of his mother who suddenly changed, but all accepted Bita as their family.
"whether, you don't know anymore" he said frustrated, after all he did not want to hurt his mother and also left Bita.
Sam leaned on the side of the balcony, enjoying the air that hit his face. "what's it because I, mama kayak?"
"meaning Lo?"
"huh, that was because of Maisya at that time." he muttered softly.
"no, if that's the case, you can't ask me to get married fast. I thought I'd turn around time."
"hehehehehe yes also yes, Lo has never been close to a girl, once can directly marry. Manalagi good person,gue support Lo defense Bita kak, not until Lo release him. Remember, the opportunity is only once and there will be no second chance." he said wisely.
"gue will keep Bita, however. But, do not hurt mama." he muttered with his mind, looking for a way to get out of the sudden growing problem.

Dinner that should be filled with cheerful, now suddenly tense and stiff while eating each food. All of this was because of Haura who had suddenly talked about something that should not be discussed at this moment.
"mama wants to say something" said Haura, making Alze look at Haura. His breathing was choked waiting for what Haura would say next. Luckily Bita did not come to dinner because he felt his stomach was cramping.
Both Sam and Azza who already knew what Haura was going to talk about, just silently looked at her. They let Alze do the talking first, their new.
"what's up? why does it look so serious?" tanya Deon looked at his wife as well as his children. Ever since he came home from his office, he could feel the chill coming from them.
"mama wants Al—"
"maa, I beg you please don't ask for anything difficult." she said. Deon was more confused, then glanced at Alze, "what's wrong? what's a difficult request?"
"mama wants Alze and Bita to separate!" said Haura firmly made everything jerked to look towards Haura. Deon was confused, "why? did you know our daughter-in-law is pregnant?"
"iyaa, ready to give birth, Alze and Bita separated.".
Braaac.
"mama!"
"papa, mama don't make brother Al in a difficult situation" Sam said to open his voice.
"you don't have to interfere, let mama and Alze solve this problem!" haura said firmly. Sam only sighed violently and then sat back in his place, he clenched his hands firmly holding back the anger that was beginning to flare up.
Alze let out a rough sigh, she rubbed her face slowly trying not to get angry with her mother. "mama, please think carefully again."
"iya maa, we love Bita very much. Don't make Brother Al separate with brother Bita." lirih Azza while holding back his crying.
Haura sighed, why are her other children following along to defend their sister?
"maa if Bita remains separated from brother Al, mending brother out of the house!" exclaimed Sam to be pumping, making the situation even more heated.
Haura stared intently at Sam, the child giving a silly idea that Alze might accept later. It could be, the child will follow Sam's advice.
"don't listen to Sam, you have to listen to me!"
"maa, haven't I been a good boy all this time?! why don't you let me live in peace?"
"Alze!!" deon jolted, the man was about to slap Alze if only Haura did not hold back her arm.
"that's enough!!" Azza covered his ears while crying, he did not want to hear any more commotion. Azza immediately ran towards his room regardless of the call of Deon who kept calling his name.
"Azza, here you are! if you stay in your room, don't expect to go to school!" threatening Haura made Azza's steps stop. He turned his body to look at the people he had loved all this time.
"sorry maa." she continued to go into her room. Haura just stared at her daughter's door and then looked at Alze.
"anything whatever it is, mama's decision remains round Al. Don't argue!" said Haura leaving the three of them. Deon sighed following his wife, he stared intently at his son before leaving.
Alze hit the wall to vent his emotions. His eyes reddened with a cry, he sat on the floor while cupping his face.
The sound of footsteps approaching towards Alze, Alze was very familiar with the fragrance of the person, he immediately looked up quickly and was surprised to see Bita smiling at him.
"happy birthday dear!" she was holding her husband's favorite cappuccino. He chuckled softly looking at the face of Alze.
Alze sneered confusedly, let alone all his family coming up to him with their smiles. "cieee prank nipples!!"
"photo by dong!" exclaimed Sam photographed Alze's pitiful face, while Alze was still confused by all this looking towards Haura.
"what does maa mean?"
"hahahaha, sorry dear. These are all your wife's ideas, actually mama does not have the heart to make you like gini. But, we want to see your expression."
"not funny dear." his whine was upset, however his heart was almost dislodged thinking about this problem.
"if not prank, no fun dong. I also ngetes you, if you are given such a choice, who will you choose. But, you still want to keep both, I'm proud."
"mama's proud of you too."
"so, you've all been conspiring from the beginning?" the question was, they were just staring at Alze.
"want how else, here are all the requests of our beloved sister-in-law. We just follow his instructions." exclaimed Azza, not in vain he had to let out his tears to press his brother.
Alze was grateful, all that was not true. Not expecting everything to be just a joke, they immediately celebrate Alze's birthday and take pictures until the memory is full.
At night, Bita was smiling and staring at the photos earlier. Many unique and funny expressions he took earlier. Until he was surprised to see the hand that coiled his waist while stroking the stomach of Bita.
"was satisfied with me huh?" grumble Alze slowly. Alze pulls Bita's hand towards the bed.
"I want a present!" he said he held his hand towards Bita.
"wasn't that it? will I give you a watch." replied Bita astonished.
"yes it's a physical gift, I want an inner gift too!" he shouted without further ado in support of Bita as usual.
"basis." muttered Bita pouted because he knew Alze's request this one could not be contested.
