Having offspring is the hope of every married couple. Children are the reason they can get more happiness in their marriage relationship. But it seemed that it did not apply to the Gods, he did not seem to want the presence of a tiny angel among them.
The mindset of Gods looks unnatural in the eyes of the community even they (a couple who do not want to have children) are judged and considered selfish because they are not willing to give additional happiness to other family members.
It was completely the opposite of his wife, Ruby, because his initial intention to marry a God was to give grandchildren to the old woman he loved so much, also sometimes the question “When have momongan?” or the statement of his relatives who sometimes compare themselves with couples who married afterwards but have been pregnant, makes Ruby inferior, so that he so wants the figure of a tiny creature the result of the fruit of their love so far.
"God!" Sandra cried when she saw her son tiptoe after hearing Sandra's speech which gave the idea to do a tube baby program like Yuki had done.
Ruby ran a little after her husband, as well as her parents who wanted to hear an explanation why she did not look so fond of discussing the presence of children.
"Why you?" ruby asked as they arrived inside the room.
"What are you doing?" The God snapped made Ruby slightly stunned.
"meaning?"
"Why is our language always about a baby? Are they so important?"
"What do you mean? I still don't understand" said Ruby, who did not understand why her husband was suddenly angry with her.
"Is my presence still not enough for you to be happy, so you're still talking about a baby?" obviously God, "I don't understand the way people think in this country, there is indeed a law in this country that says if every married couple is obliged to have children?" The gods speak with emotion.
Ruby took a few steps back from her husband, she immediately understood the meaning of the words of God. "You mean you don't want us to have children?" ask Ruby carefully.
"If I say yes, why? Are you going to leave me and go find another man who can give you offspring?" The god still did not lower his tone of voice.
The God's answer made Ruby's tears melt, not because of her words telling her to look for another man, but because of the God's answer that didn't want a baby.
"You know I married you because I wanted to give Mommy a grandchild." Ruby gave the wrong answer.
"Oh, so? So until this second you've stuck with me not because you have the feelings that a wife has for her husband?" The god looked down upon Ruby with his gaze.
"It's not so!" Suddenly Ruby was at a loss for words.
"Then what?"
"God, I love you. Really!" Ruby's tears just kept flowing.
"God!" Again the gods seemed to underestimate his wife's words. "Love. Don't mention that word in front of me if you still prioritize children for you to be proud of your in-laws!"
"But wouldn't it be natural for a married couple to want a baby in their home life?"
"It turns out your brain is just as primitive as theirs, too" God quipped. "After all my efforts to make you happy, but still your first priority is to want offspring. Now find out by you which man can make you as happy as I have done for you all this time!" Gods who are provoked by emotions also speak wrongly.
"So you really don't want a baby?" Ruby confirmed her husband's words once again.
"Now explain to me, why do we have to have a baby? Is there any guarantee that these weak creatures can add to the happiness of our household?" God is like challenging his wife.
Ruby could not answer, but her heart was so broken hearing her husband's words. Then his attitude yesterday that was so loyal to accompany every session of Ruby treatment what is it? Is God just pretending?
"I guess you're also expecting a baby, until you bother to accompany me on medication."
"Because I just want you to be happy, don't you know if I'm as sick as seeing you have to feel all your examination sessions? You know if the baby tube process is more complicated and hurts you more?"
Ruby fell silent, she did not know if her husband was following her wishes just to make her happy.
"I ask you one more question" said the Lord still with a face full of emotion. "Do you want a baby for our happiness, is it just to be free from the negative gossip of people about you?"
God's question is like stabbing Ruby's heart.
"I—" Ruby was confused as to what to answer.
Sandra and Akbar, who had been eavesdropping in front of their room, could not do much. More precisely Akbar who forbade his wife to interfere in the affairs of their son's household.
Day was approaching dusk when the Lord told a servant to prepare his car.
"Don't you want to stay here again last night?" ask Sandra who is still acting ignorant about their quarrel.
The god did not answer, as if he had not heard Mommy's words.
"There's an office business that God has to do." Ruby answered with a common-sounding reason. "We go home, Mom." Ruby gave a farewell hug to her in-laws.
"Please, honey!" Sandra hugged tightly and gently rubbed the back of her only son-in-law, trying to calm her heart.
"Mommy and Papi take care of themselves!" ruby said before getting into the car.
No words came out of the two mouths of a couple who usually look cheerful along the way, they chose to silence with their respective minds.
Until arriving at the apartment was their attitude was still the same, indifferent, mutually impassioned.
"Aren't you going to dinner?" ruby asked her husband who was seen watching television.
"Message from the outside!" answer the gods briefly. "For you! I'll be out in a minute." He continued, but his eyes kept on the flat screen he was watching.
Ruby did not answer, nor did she question where God was going, she chose to go into her room, crying again. Crying the attitude of the God who was so indifferent to him at that time.
The god entered their room a moment later, seeing Ruby already enveloped herself with gestures that seemed to be crying. But as if God did not see him, he chose to go into the dressing room to change his clothes. Then pass without a word.
Ruby's cry grew increasingly broken, when she heard the door of their apartment closed from outside. Not usually she feels so lonely, this is not the first time for her to be left alone in the apartment, but somehow for this time Ruby felt very sad and lonely.
There was nothing he could call to pour out his heart, no one could listen to his grievances at that moment. For the first time, Ruby was completely tormented.

Ruby opened her eyes when her husband was ready for his work suit. No matter what time she came, as she remembered at dawn almost breaking, Ruby was still weeping over her husband.
"You want to go?" Ruby started talking to her husband.
"Hem." The attitude of the gods is still the same as yesterday.
Ruby was made wrong with the attitude of the Gods, not usually the Gods were so cold to her. Ruby's tears re-wetted her cheeks as the Gods departed selflessly for her.
