" What? Pregnant?" Exclaimed a surprised middle-aged woman while holding her chest.
"........ ........ ....... " Report someone at the end of the phone call.
" Report whatever happened to me and also. Whatever your way, I want to know immediately who's the father of the baby he's born with." Tell the middle-aged woman who then hangs up her phone call.
The middle-aged woman sat quietly thinking of something.
Confusion and uneasiness struck his heart at this moment.

Finished, Mayang sat silent for a moment staring at the night sky. There was a sense of happiness in her heart when she was declared pregnant.
" You're proof, if Mama's not a barren woman dear. We'll live together. Together we will live quietly and peacefully."
" Mama's savings are enough for us to live on until mom gets old and you grow up. For a father's note to you, you have decided on a man's name that will surely be a temporary husband for you. Name's Robby. He's the best man you've ever met." Mayang's fizzling monologue with her baby.
Mayang chose Roby as her husband while her baby. Just a confession if Robby is the father of the baby he was born with. Mayang took his phone and called Robby.
" Hello, By."
" Yes, what's wrong?" Asked Robby who was a little surprised because Mayang did not usually contact him.
" Tomorrow you have time?"
" Tomorrow? just sec. I am free in the afternoon. Why?"
" Can we meet? I'll ask you for something, but it's not good to say it over the phone." Mayang said nervously and unpleasantly.
" Hahahaha, are you polite and meek to me? There's gotta be something she wants."
" Don't insult me, I'm a polite, gentle woman."
" Hahahaha, yes yes what do you say, than my HP you send a virus." Reply Robby who knows the bad habits of Mayang who easily damage other people's phones.
" Okay, bye By. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon at grandma's house."
" Eh, Grandma's House? If I go there, I'll ask for leave of absence from work, Yang." Said Robby who remembered the mileage long enough to go to Grandma Mayang's house.
" Yes ask for leave as we walk in the village both. We haven't been together in a long time?" Mayqng said that unconsciously sowing hope in a heart that long harbored feelings.
" Hemm, okay. Bye bye Yang." Robby smiled happily.
" Bye By!!" Mayang rubbed his chest ending the nervousness that hit his heart.

Mayang said goodbye to his two best friends. Tania asked Mayang to stay with her, who currently lives alone.
" You don't have to be far away. Here only Yang. We'll raise your son together." Said Tania who then sat down while serving a glass of orange juice.
" No Tan, I'm also sick of going on every day to face Akbar. He was very sure if this was his son." Mayang.
" Good dong. That's a sign he's responsible." Tania sat down and gently rubbed Mayang's flat stomach.
"What good? I remember when he insulted me. Even he had planned to use me as a tool to destroy Derry's mentality. He's not a good guy. He's the same as Derry who likes to use other people." Said Mayang who held anger in the look of his eyes. His hand gripped the glass of juice he was holding.
" Which, I know you're traumatized by marriage after everything you've been through with Derry. You were used, slandered, and despised as a barren woman. But Yang, you can't equate Akbar with Garry. At least Akbar wants to take responsibility and keep looking for you." Tania said advising Mayang not to take the wrong step.
" No Tan, my decision is already unanimous. I'm gonna raise this kid alone." Mayang's lowered limbs looked at his stomach.
" Which, your son needs a father figure. Not to mention that if she goes to school, she needs a birth certificate. He still needs Dad. Please think clearly before you act." Tania sounded wise.
" Tan, I already have a temporary husband. I'm sure he's a good man." Mayang said that the success made Tania choke on the juice she drank.
" What?" Tania flabbergasted to look at Mayang.
" You're crazy! Wear husband while everything. If you're sure he's good, why don't you just make it forever?" Tania said unconsciously if her words made Mayang think of something that was missed.
" You're right Yang. Your words are right." Mayang nodded a few times then smiled knotfully and hugged Tania who was just speechless getting a warm hug from her best friend.
" Yes, right? But why do you seem to get such a brilliant idea?" Said Tania who was still dumbfounded to find the change in Mayang's facial expression that is difficult to interpret.
Finished seeing Tania, Mayang left. Dera could not meet him because there was still work outside the city that took quite a long time. Dera and Mayang only spoke through voices in the air. Dera supports whatever Mayang does while it is good and for the dera there is no problem with the husband while the choice of Mayang because the dera knows who Robby is.
Robby is an idol in Dera's heart. It's just that Dera undoes his intention because before dera expressed his feelings Robby had ventured first of all his secret love to Mayang.
" Congratulations By, you finally get your love even though Mayang chose you only as a temporary husband. Regardless it's just a while that will turn into forever or how, whatever it is I'm happy. Because, my heart is now filled with the figure of a shitty young man." Murmured Dera who sat staring at the outside window of her car.
" I know you hurt Mae's heart. I still remember how Derry humiliated you in front of so many people by accusing you of being a woman who cheated on you and mistreating you as a barren woman. Hhhh, you're strong Mae." Dera said that back to remember how bitter the story of Mayang and Derry household in the past.

Mayang has now switched and is in a villa that is close to the view of the lake and hills. This villa belonged to his family, rather it was already his thing.
Villa that is not too grand and luxurious. Simple villa that is fantastic value for rent overnight. Mayang got the inheritance of Villa from his grandfather who turned out to be a rich old man who used to prefer property rather than having to be responsible for the fruits of his love for the Grandmother.
Mayang is the only granddaughter of his grandfather. Actually the villa was given to Daddy Mayang, but Father Mayang who still harbored hatred rejected it instantly. And Grandma still kept it and gave it to Mayang without the knowledge of Mayang's father.
" Hey!" Greet someone who just came.
" Hey...!" Sahut Mayang waved his hand and smiled cheerfully.
