"What do you want to eat again?" ask Amanda. They are still in the old town. Amanda who is now restless thinking about Nino also shook her head.

"Aren't you appetite?" ask Arka again.

Arka finds out that Amanda must be thinking of Nino. Because of course he felt bad for his first love. Because the Arka suddenly appeared in the midst of their togetherness.

Honestly, Arka has pity on Amanda. Especially in babies who are now in the womb. Because if Amanda does not have a good appetite, of course it will harm the baby inside.

But Arka also can't let Amanda drown, in her feelings for Nino. Because Amanda is his rightful wife in the eyes of religion. Although not legally valid.

Amanda must understand, if she is currently a wife. Although only the wife is above the agreement. But he also has responsibilities and must follow the rules of marriage as it should. She must maintain the honor and dignity of her husband.

"Where are you going and what is it now?. I'm doing it." said Arka later.

"Mmm, let's go home!" take Amanda. He is losing his good mood at the moment.

"Yes, come on."

Arka grabbed Amanda by the arm and led her to the car. Along the way home, Amanda was quieter. Arka knows what causes it.

But he still pretended not to know and acted, as if he was the most innocent husband in the world. The unsuspecting one bit at what his wife was thinking.

He just continued to focus on driving the car, with his left hand incessantly stroking the woman's stomach. Amanda felt even more guilty when she saw the attitude of Arka so sweet. The guilt was only for Nino, but now it has grown to be for Arka.

He felt guilty and considered himself cruel to Arka. The young man's arc was so good, but he betrayed it by going with Nino in the back.

But how else, Arka is just a contract husband on paper. After their baby is born and all payments are over, Arka will leave.

"Today you're sick?" asked Arka while continuing to focus on the road, but still stroking the wife's distended stomach.

"No, it's normal." replied Amanda.

Arka looked and smiled. Amanda would not want to have to retaliate, even though she is not in a good mood to do so.

"Lusa, there's a schedule to see a doctor, right?" ask Arka again.

"Yes, it's 4pm." Amanda replied.

"I'll be ready." said Arka. Amanda just nodded.

When he got home, Arka really showed a mediocre attitude. As if he never knew, about the meeting his wife was with another man.

"Would you take a shower now?" ask Amanda.

Amanda nodded, she was very eager to expel all the fatigue that was now lodged in her head.

Then Arka stepped closer to Amanda, who had just put her bag in the closet. Arka helps Amanda release the blazer that coats her body.

Unbutton the back of the pregnant dress, then remove the strands of yarn and let it fall to the floor. Shortly after, he walked to the bathroom.

Amanda let her body get hit by the water coming out of the shower. His mind was now focused in two directions, namely on Nino and also Arka. Both of them made Amanda feel so guilty.

He remembered how Nino looked at him. He asked her to marry and be his wife. But he also remembered how sweet Arka's treatment was, and how genuine he had been all along. Even as siri's husband.

"Aaaakhs."

Amanda held her head, she was really dizzy this time. He then finished his bath, because it turned out that it did not affect much. He was still thinking about the incident.

"Man."

Arka approached Amanda when the woman was done getting dressed.

"Why, Ka?" ask Amanda later.

"You eat first yeah, I'm sure you're something."

"But I don't want to eat anymore, Ka. I ate the crust of eggs.

"Why?" ask Arka with an anxious face.

"That's the crust of telor doang loh. Usually you are still laper and want to eat constantly." he continued.

Arka was really worried this time and not pretending. He was really afraid that all the things that he had done to separate Amanda and Nino earlier, finally made Amanda really in a bad mood.

He was more willing to let his wife be with Nino and he hurt. Instead, he should let the baby and the mother of the baby not eat.

"I'm okay, just no appetite anymore. Don't know why." Amanda replied.

Arka sighed. But he then smiled, making Amanda became astonished and confused.

"Dear you're the same as him?"

"If you love him, you have to fight. You have to eat little by little, because he can only eat from you. She can't get nutrition except from you."

Amanda fell silent, she began to realize how selfish she was right now. Just for the sake of thinking about Nino's feelings, she lost her appetite and even harmed her own baby.

"Yes, I eat." said Amanda.

Arka smiled too.

"Don't, I'm going to be." Arka said.

The young man took Amanda to the dinner table. Amanda was surprised to see a steak up there. Complete with mashed potatoes and vegetables. Next to the food there is a glass of milk for pregnant women.

"Here you buy?" ask Amanda to Arka.

"I made my own dong, last time you took a shower."

Arka shifts a chair so Amanda can sit down. Then Arka sat next to him.

The aroma of the steak made Amanda's stomach sound instantly. It is undeniable that the distinctive smell of meat seasoned with butter and rosemary also resurrected his appetite that had been lost.

"You really cooked by yourself, Ka?" ask Amanda still can't believe it. He cut and tried the steak.

"Hmm."

Amanda started eating.

"Great boy, Ka." he said later.

Arka just smiled watching as she stroked Amanda's head.

"Eat a lot" said Arka.

Amanda nodded, then ate again and again.

"Aren't you eating?" ask Amanda to Arka.

"I'm easy, I can do it later. What matters is you first. If you haven't eaten, I'm thinking."

This time Amanda looked at Arka. He no longer knew how to thank the young man. It seemed that any money would never be enough to pay for all the sincerity given by Arka.

Although this relationship has a mutually beneficial symbiosis. What Arka does is sincere. Regardless of how much money Amanda spent to pay the young man.

She has realized Amanda's desire to have children. He has also changed Amanda's negative views of men a little. That good men do exist, even apart from Nino.

"Man."

"Yes." Yeah."

"From tomorrow you don't need to give me any more money."

"Loh, why?" ask Amanda wonder.

"Less a lot, huh?" continue then.

"No koq, not about that" replied Arka.

"Continue?"

Arka sighed and threw away a glance.

"I agreed to marry you at that time, because I thought about my mother's debt and the safety of my father's life. I was in need of a lot of money and the only way to get fast money yes, by accepting you. But now it's all done. My mother was debt free, and my papa was cured. If it's for me personally, I can make my own money."

"But that's part of the deal, Arka. The agreement we have agreed on together. That I'll pay you the amount of money you're asking for, beyond the cost of paying your mother's debt and your papa's medical expenses."

"I don't want it anymore, Man."

"Why?"

"You pay me, because I love you son. It's the same way I sold my own son."

Amanda stared at Arka. He was stunned long enough, because even he did not think of getting there.

"What kind of father would use his own child for personal gain. I don't want to be like that, Man."

Amanda was getting quieter, there was an emotional overflow in Arka's tone of voice as she said that. And for some reason Amanda suddenly stood up and hugged the young man. Arka hugged Amanda tightly.

Amanda rubbed the head of her husband and tried to calm him down. This must have been a very big turmoil in the heart of Arka. Oh, how not, he was very young. And must be the father-to-be of a child, who is now slowly growing in his wife's womb.

Mentally this must be hard for Arka. considering he is a kindhearted young man who is very difficult to be evil to others. He was not capable enough to take advantage of the situation. Especially using his own wife and children.
