Hearing Jatmiko's chirping made Rangga and Maima become misbehaved. Rangga pretended to scratch his nape which was not even itchy while Maima just bowed shyly with a red tinge on her cheek.
"Already pa, don't tease them!" Ms. Herlina patted her husband's thigh and then saw Rangga and Maima alternating while smiling meaningfully.
"Ehem !"Mr. Jatmiko again surprised the two who were stealing eyes from each other.
"Ma, looks like we should get them married as soon as possible, look!" Ms. Herlina smiled at the bashful behavior of the two.
Herlina escorted Maima back to the room, but now she occupies the guest room. Which is also on the upper floor.
"Rest Mai, don't be too cape'an! your content is still too risky."
"Yes, thank you mom. I've treated me well.sorry, I've troubled my mother and family a lot."
Ms. Herlina grabbed Maima's hand and rubbed it gently.
"Don't say it like that baby, call mama because you are now a mama's child too.Mama and papa are very happy because soon also will add a grandchild." Ms. Herlina smiled as she gently rubbed Maima's stomach.
"Yes, my mom lived first."
"Yes, M..ma!" Maima still seemed awkward to change her call to Ms. Herlina.
After feeling well rested, Maima came out of her room and went down to the kitchen to help Sarmi cook.
"Bok, what are you going to cook this afternoon?"
"Jeez nduk, you have a symbok." Mbok Sarmi stroked his chest.
"hehehehe..sorry yes mbok, I don't mean ngagetin mbok Sarmi."
Mbok Sarmi was also happy to see the situation of Maima who has now changed better. The girl always smiled happily, even mbok Sarmi to the point of tears.
"Mbok Sarmi why are you crying?" Maima rubbed the face of the old woman she had considered like her mother.
"Simbok ngak pa-pa nduk, symbok also happy because now you and mas Rangga will soon get married."
"Yes, Maima also never thought if finally match with brother Rangga." Maima rubbed her reddened eyes.
"Already ah mbok, let's just cook it.when is it ripe?"
They finally began to return to finish cooking for lunch later.
All dishes have been arranged neatly on the dining table. Maima sat her butt in one of the chairs, her waist was sore.
"Alhamdulillah, finally finished also yes mbok?"
Mbok Sarmi also smiled to see Maima who was sitting while staring at various dishes with satisfaction.
"Hmm..he should, cook what?" Suddenly appeared Ms. Herlina and it made Maima jump in shock until she reflexes immediately stand up.
"Ouch! Maima held her stomach because she stood up suddenly, her stomach immediately felt tense and cramped.
Herlina went to him worriedly, the middle-aged woman grabbed Maima and sat her back in the chair
"Darling, you're okay, right? where's that sick? let's go see the gynecologist now! Well how is this, Mama called Rangga?"
Maima felt bad because it made Herlina's mother afraid to want to contact Rangga all.
"Eh, It's okay ma.tadi just a little surprised. don't need to call Rangga." Maima pulled Herlina's hand when she was about to call her son.
"Truely, later Rangga will also go home for lunch."
"Sister Rangga wants lunch at home?"
Maima was relaxing in the backyard, sitting in a gazebo. I heard footsteps getting closer. Maima turned and looked at Rangga.
"It turns out you're here! come on, mama's calling to eat together!" Rangga extended his hand, but Maima was reluctant to reply.
"Ehem..." Rangga scratching his head that does not itch diverts his awkwardness.
"Yes, brother." They stepped inside the house with Maima following behind Rangga.
Mr. Jatmiko and Ms. Herlina have been waiting for them. Rangga pulled a chair for Maima and sat next to her.
"Ehemm, tumben, didn't you sit there?" Mr. Jatmiko began to insinuate his son who acted uncharacteristically.
"Sitting anywhere is the same as pa?" rangga protest.
"Already! you guys are the same father and son, by the way, why haven't they arrived yet?"
"Who, would Erla come?"
"No, but...."
"Assalamallaikum. hi everyone, sorry yes we are late. the streets are crowded once. understand the lunch hour."
"Aunty, yes, the old mama was at his restaurant."
"No pa-pa kok Zakiyah, Karina, we are waiting for you too." They have a cipiki and then take a sitting position each.

Maima looked up at the familiar voice.
"Mom Zakiyah?" He laughed in shock at the presence of his mother and daughter.
"Well, Maima? you were here?I thought you were going home to your hometown?"
"You know each other already? Yes this is Maima Rangga's future wife." Herlina explained the reason for Maima's presence in her home.
"Well, isn't it wrong aunt? masa's brother Rangga wants to marry a restaurant waiter?" Karina looked at Maima low.
Maima could only be bowed, in the bottom of her heart she also realized that she was just an ordinary girl and nothing compared to the Rangga family.
"Karina! it's impolite to talk like that!" Bu Zakiyah looked at her daughter.
"But it's true, ma, am I wrong to tell the truth?" answer with a pouting face. Especially after getting another shot from his mother.
Zakiyah turned her eyes to Herlina and Maima.
"Oh yes, Lin. Maima used to work at my restaurant. She's a very enterprising and diligent girl.You're very lucky ya will have a good daughter-in-law like Maima."
Bu Zakiyah smiled at Maima who still did not dare to look at the people around her.he knew that the girl was feeling inferior because of the words of her daughter earlier. Herlina smiled warmly at the sight of Maima.
"Maima why?how come he kept his head down, because he felt humbled by Karina's words? The child never changes, it always irritates others." Herlina shook her head at Karina.
While Rangga also looked at Karina disliked. "Pity Maima."
While Mr. Jatmiko just fell silent not wanting to comment anything that would add to the confusion among the women.
The lunch together was over. Now they were chatting casually in the family room. After helping mbok Sarmi tidying the dining table and cleaning in the kitchen.
Maima resigned to return to her room. Rangga just stared at the departure of Maima who climbed the stairs.
"Ma, papa wants to go straight back to the office! in half an hour there's a meeting with a client from Bandung." Mr. Jatmiko got up from his seat and immediately stepped away, but earlier he said something to Rangga.
"Gga, you also directly follow papa to the office. You must also join the meeting!"
"Yes pa." Rangga followed his father from behind.
After the death of Jatmiko and Rangga. The women continued their conversation.
"oh yes, by the way Lin. When's her H day?"
" Fastly, maybe in these weeks."
"Suddenly, earlier sorry Lin. May I ask you something?"
"You ask me what? of course it can be Kiyah."
"Is Maima pregnant? again sorry Lin, I don't mean to accuse your son of a no-no."
Ms. Zakiyah was a bit unwell in asking about the personal matter, but she was very curious to see Maima's physical condition which clearly looked different.
Ms. Herlina was silent for a moment and answered her cousin's question.
"Yes, right. Maima is pregnant with Rangga's child.we were disappointed, but what can be done. everything has happened."
"True Lin, it's okay. Congratulations, you'll soon be adding a grandchild."
"Thank you for kiyah." They smile at each other happily.
While Karina always thinks negatively. "hmm....so the poor girl was already pregnant first huh? is that true brother Rangga.i do not believe me deh. lest brother Rangga just cheated?"

The night is getting late, all the inhabitants of the rimah have entered their respective rooms. Likewise with Maima.the girl will be preparing to sleep, but there was a knock on the door.he rushed to open the door of her room.

clekes.
"Are you asleep, baby? mama's bothering you?"
"No, not yet ma. let's go in ma! mama need to be with Maima?"Herlina led Maima's arm and invited her to sit on the bed.
"Like Mai, tomorrow you go to the boutique to order kebaya for your ijab event later! after that we stop by Mall xxx to shop for other purposes."
"Good Ma."
"Okay, you're fast asleep now! it's not good for pregnant women to sleep late at night!"
After rubbing Maima's stomach, Herlina went out.
‐-------------
As planned. After the boutique, then Ms. Herlina and Maima headed to a Mall to shop.
Currently they are in one of the restaurants located in the foodcourt in the mall.
"Mommy, you're going to the toilet for a while. You're not going anywhere!" Maima nodded and smiled.
Maima was still enjoying her lunch, until suddenly there was a pat on her shoulder.
"Maima, I've been looking for you everywhere. Come home with me!"
"Ah...sister?"
