That night, when Amanda finally fell asleep. Arka dropped Nino's name from the list of people she suspected. He then noted his wife's weakness and made a list of friends Amanda had.
There are names of Nindya, Rani, students and students at the campus. At least, since getting married, they are the ones who Arka values quite close to Amanda.
He then closed the notebook, now he switched to surfing the internet. See a variety of ideas and room decorations for twin boys.
Some pictures seem to steal his attention, Namum Arka has not been so srek. He had to talk to Amanda first. Which room they will use to be a room, for their babies later. If it has been determined, then it feels good to start designing.
He and Amanda had agreed that their babies sleep in separate rooms early on. The reason is of course many.
First, avoid sudden death in babies. Because sleeping in separate rooms, lowers the risk of the baby being overwhelmed by parents and not having to scramble for oxygen in one room.
In addition, the baby can also fall asleep. Because of the minimal risk of hearing chatter, or snoring parents during sleep. Good quality sleep for the baby, greatly affects the growth and development process.
Another reason is, sleeping in a separate place can train the independence of children early on and develop the ability to calm themselves.
Arka and Amanda agreed not to use the "Fear of subtle-detraction" method." Because it will only block all processes, related to the method of growth and development of the child.
They also agreed not to wear octopus and excessive bedong on their children, if they were born later. Both are also reluctant their babies are given spells or talismans, which are said to be able to repel demons around.
Not believing in anything other than humans. But believe more if God protects the weak and still holy man like a baby.
"A man who has sinned a lot, is still protected by God. Especially the weak and helpless like a baby. God's yesteryear is on the watch, just as there are demons disturbing babies who can't even volunteer."
Amanda has been saying that a lot lately and Arka agrees.
"Ka, I don't want ya. Ntar pas lahiran drink-minumin grass water Fatimah." said Amanda at one time, long before today. Arka remembers that she and Amanda were reading methods or ways to calm down during childbirth. And then Arka said.
"Whose drink?. My mother?" ask Arka while laughing.
"I'm just making sure, Ka. Important things to communicate. Because it concerns the salvation of my soul as children."
"You calm down, man. My mom's not that big of a cop, koq. He's always updated, never likes to play Facebook or Instagram."
"Keep what dong?" ask Amanda.
"Mother squirms tiktok. Which he participated in there doctors, experts, lawyers, cooking, traveling. So her social media algorithm, it's all knowledge. If everything is in tiktok, it is complete. Want to learn parenting, there is. Health science, there are also. Joget-joget is not clear, there is also. The mother, sometimes like nasehatin her neighbor who ngeyel in ngasuh son."
"Example?" ask Amanda again.
"You're wondering, when we were at mom's house. All you're telling me is, there's one neighbor you're smiling at but he's not bales."
"Ah yes, I want."
"That's called Tini ma'am, just as her daughter-in-law wants to be born. Just like him, want to drink Fatimah grass water."
"Geez." said Amanda with a shocked expression as well as fear.
"When my mother was scolded, she said it was a danger to drink. Can make the uterus torn and increase the risk of infant death."
"Keep him in a tailspin?"
"Muscled, you want to be given to his son-in-law. The reason is in his village he drank it all, but congratulations."
"Yes because it's lucky to doang." said Amanda with a tone that began to grieve.
"Well yes, good luck. Doctor, the midwife agreed that it was very dangerous. Everywhere discussed, on tiktok, YouTube, news articles. Everyone said it was very dangerous. That's why mom is forbidden, uh she's angry with mom. Pas midwife dateng, reported by the same mother to her midwife. His midwife was angry at Tini's mom. I'm sure you're hated by Tini. All right now, he doesn't want to negur mom. Mother is also very bodo, it has nothing to do with this same life of ours."
"Duh amit-amit deh dapet in-laws pretentious tau modelan bu Tini. If I were his daughter-in-law, I would fight that Tini ma'am. Let it be on the stamp of an ungodly son-in-law, rather than dying in vain because of his foolishness."
"That's why you're calm, I'm not. Then also fitting you again chat with Rianti tuh in the room, which you talk drakor. Mom told me that she didn't want to be a ngerecokin granny."
"Oh yeah, did mom say that to you?" ask Amanda.
"There, he even fitting you later do not want to come. You are really ready to be visited. Mother said, it's better not most people ngerecokin. Giving birth is enough for both of us, the doctor and the nurse. You also do not worry, do not bother with this advice. Where does it hurt later."
"Thank you, Ka. From mother's understanding to me. I've seen it first, right Rani's first child's birth. It's one family her ex-husband, all ngerecokin. No one thinks like this, that is. Rani was sick, they were noisy. Pas his son was born to a family that came to bejibun. Rani is still stitching, already given the scolding, this wejangan, wejangan it. Ntar first, that's how. Let it be a woman who lost a lot of blood, rest first. Ntar used to be this advice, that advice. Most importantly, he slept quietly the same as eating a lot. This isn't."
"It's complicated, huh?" ask Arka.
"Not again, Ka."
"Not yet his brothers-in-law who talk about the weight of his son Rani. Continue the Rani advised the love of sharp water to the baby, so fat, so do not be ashamed of the neighbors. Good that Rani did not get the baby blues at that time. If it were me, I might have slammed their front child. It's so dizzy."
Arka stroked his wife's head, while continuing to listen.
"The squirming bag, Ka. I don't want to have a husband any more. Ribet anjay, his family."
"Hahaha." Arka's laughter broke for the sake of hearing this.
And tonight Arka remembered it all, she smiled again. He is lucky to have a family that is not complicated, so it does not have to make his wife feel dizzy and also tortured.
Now, just how to keep learning. To be a good parent to their children.
Arka ended his search for bedroom ideas on the internet. He now took a mobile phone and switched to a market place. He began to click the basket button, on the baby equipment he wanted to buy.
That night, at the same hour. Intan seemed silent in his room, staring at an empty notebook. His hand is now holding and playing with a pen.
"Mbak Rani, mbak Rani." he murmured later.
"About what purpose, underlying his evil deeds to Amanda's mother" he continued.
"Party, office, assets."
He wrote those words in his blank notebook.
"What's the motive then?" mumbling again.
"Braise, envy."
Added later.
"If it's a grudge, why are they still good friends?" Intan again muttered in his heart.
"Why Amanda and Rani are not enemies. Even Rani was given a job." he continued.
"What is envy?. Because I want success, too, like Amanda's mom. Want to be rich, have power?"
"Hm, could be. But why do you have to sinister yourself?. Can mendingan in baikin, who knows can pinjemin capital, make it will be more successful."
Intan kept thinking.
"Gue guess there's another reason."
Intan recorded his last mutter. He was sure that it was not only property and office that was targeted by Rani. But there seems to be another reason that others don't know. So, what's the reason?"
"Hhhhh." Intan sighed then sucked the Vape that was nearby.
Even as the night went on, he found no answer.
