Almost three weeks passed. Arka also became often back and forth Jakarta-Bali, because it still had to undergo lectures. They're vacationing in the middle is not a time for holidays. Although tired, Arka obeyed the woman's will. After all, Jakarta-Bali is not so long if taken by plane.
Today he landed again on the island of the Gods. But for some reason, not as usual Amanda even craved.
"Where have you been so long?" amanda's grouse on Ark.
"And I told you, it was delaying the plane because of bad weather."
"It's not because Maureen was together, is it?"
Arka was shocked to hear his wife's statement.
"You koq suddenly thought that?" ask Arka.
"I'm tired of the journey. Just got it in omelin." he continued again.
"No, you're mad at me." Amanda's getting sulky. Arka sighed and relented.
"No, I'm really just from college. Nemuin papa with mom for a while, keep coming straight here."
"Really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Not lying?"
"Man."
"Yes, I believe."
"Have you eaten?" ask Arka.
"No, wait for you" replied spoiled Amanda.
"I told you, eat first. I ate on the way."
"You don't really appreciate it, people are waiting. You little boy."
"Ok, what do you want to eat now?. I'm temenin."
"I want to eat sate lilit with chicken betutu."
"Yes, it's okay."
Amanda then smiles and glendotan on Arka's shoulder. Not usually he behaves like that, and fortunately Arka is a little patient. Otherwise, he might have hit Amanda in the head with three kilos of gas.
"I want to be bribed." whined Amanda, when the food he ordered had arrived. Arka also patiently fed him.
"Ka, koq it feels weird huh?. Not like that before." said Amanda.
Arka smelled the food, afraid that the food was stale.
"No, this is fine." said Arka.
"Try it, you try it."
Amanda offered the food to Arka, Arka then tried it.
"No, all right. People taste good."
"Well, you can't think this is weird."
"What a weird thing, people feel like they're ordinary."
"Yes, just for you."
"Yes, Arka finished Amanda's meal.

Her night.
"Arka."
Amanda shook the body of Arka who was sound asleep at her side.
"Hmm?" Arka answered but did not open her eyes.
"Koran."
"What?" asked Arka while forcing her eyes open.
"Coconut ice maker." whine Amanda.
"Coconut es?. Don't you see Man, what time is it?. Two o'clock in the morning for some coconut ice."
"Peneyer." Amanda put on a face full of hope.
"Oh yeah, I'll take it first."
"A lot of ice cakes."
"Yes, the fridge I took."
Arka then went out to order coconut ice. Soon after, the coconut ice came. Amanda drank it to the end, like someone in a trance.
"Arka, want more."
"Huh?. Which is really you, drinking ice malem-malem. Ask for more."
"You take it or I'm craving?"
"Yes-yes."
Finally Arka ordered again. Shortly after that the second order of coconut ice came.
"Man, this is the dark ice."
Arka was silent, because now Amanda was fast asleep. He put the ice on the table and went to sleep.
Two days later, Arka decided that they should end their vacation and return to Jakarta. Although Amanda still really wants to be on the island.
"Well, we're going home so bad?" amanda grumbled when they reached the airport.
"Man, I have to go to college. You have to work."
"There are many who can handle my work in the office. You can also go back and forth."
"The office needs you, man. You can't just stay. While I'm tired of going back and forth."
"Why talk about Maureen, anyway?. Man, we're just a serial and contract marriage."
"Oh, so if siri and contract marriage should not be angry?. If her husband wants to see another girl, the contract wife should be?"
Amanda's tears welled up, Arka saw something strange in her. Because Amanda who usually does not dormitory in the face of something.
"Man, not that."
"So you said that." Amanda's sobbing.
"Yes, sorry, sorry." Arka hugs Amanda in the middle of a passerby at the airport.
"Yet."
"Man, shame on people. You're old, you're still like a kid."
"You're saying I'm old." Amanda was crying.
"No. Ok, yes, sorry." Arka hugged Amanda.
While on the plane, once again Amanda showed strangeness.
"What's this, what's the smell of trying?" ask Arka with a big voice.
"Nothing smells, Man."
"The hell you can't smell, that stings it."
Amanda turned on Arka's shoulder.
"What perfume do you smell?. Hmh."
"It's the perfume I used to wear."
"What's common is not this, it's cheap for sure."
"Man, this is what I used to wear. You also often nyium. And it's not made in condet, it's original."
"Whatever, I don't want to vomit."
Arka then took a tissue and covered his wife's nose. Arriving in Jakarta, when Arka had put the goods and prepared to go to campus. Amanda was in front of him. He went down and stood by the car.
"When I meet Maureen or whoever is the girl, look at me. I tied it to a tree, and I hit it."
This time Arka laughed, he was no longer strange to face Amanda. After reading an article on the internet, he now knows how to deal with the woman.
"Yes, you come with me!"
Arka took Amanda's hand.
"Where are you taking me?" ask Amanda confused.
"Let's go, you're really jealous of Maureen. You go to college and see, I'll see Maureen or not."
Amanda shut up, Arka opened the car door and told her to come in. Amanda had no other choice and just according to her, Arka took the woman to her campus. Arriving there, he also handed over some tasks to Rio to collect.
"Lo don't go in yet, Ka?" ask Rio.
"Noh, the mistress is sulking again." replied Arka.
"Why gambek?" ask Rio again.
"Jealous for Maureen."
"Cie was jealous aje, baek-baek fell in love with both of you." ledek Rio.
Arka just smiled, and so did Amanda.
"It's beautiful to smile." Arka dressingan mocked his wife.
"Huh, what the hell?"
"Tuh, go on a rampage again bro. I'm back." said Arka.
"Lo be careful."
"Yoi, greetings with Doni."
"Sip."
"Where did I meet Maureen?" ask Arka when the car starts to run.
"Where do I know, that guy was me. Once you are intentional, let the faithful husband say. Right behind me, meeting."
Arka just chuckled, he drove his car to a stop in the parking lot of a hospital.
"Why are we going to the hospital?" ask Amanda wonder.
"Wanna see your dad?" ask her again.
Silent arka.
"I don't want to, Arka. Who am I, and what do I have to answer?"
Arka remained silent and continued to hold the woman. Then they stopped at the gynecologist's practice section.
"Ki, what are we doing here?" ask Amanda while looking at Arka.
Without saying much Arka immediately registered Amanda's name. It just so happened that it was quiet, so they were immediately called inside.
A few moments later,
"Congratulations sir, his wife is pregnant."
Arka smiled, her guess was right.
"Thank you, doc." she said, then approached Amanda, who was lying in the examination room. He hugged his wife.
"Koq you know if I'm pregnant?" ask Amanda later.
"You are strange that, from our time in Bali was strange. A little angry, a little good, sometimes spoiled, sometimes fierce. Ask for the no-no food. It's a strange smell you say, you want to throw up."
"I'm sorry." Amanda said later.
"I really don't know if I've changed that" he continued.
Arka smiled, her feelings were now mixed. This marriage is a symbiotic relationship. But the fetus that Amanda now contains is her child. And the child will soon grow up, and then be present in their lives.
