In a room without lights, Zahla settles down on a large bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
I don't know what makes her keep daydreaming, but remembering the expressions of all the families hearing the news of her pregnancy, certainly makes her happy.
Being alone in the dark room did not scare her, everyone was still chatting in the living room and Zahla who was currently pregnant would have to go to rest, he said, and David himself brought Zahla to the room but saw Zahla who had closed his eyes David also came out of there and re-joined his extended family.
Yes Zahla wanted to be alone, so she pretended to close her eyes so David thought her Zahla had fallen asleep and left her alone, and certainly succeeded.
''I would be happy if they were happy with my pregnancy, she murmured in the darkness of the night.

''I will take Zahla to the hospital tomorrow to ensure Zahla's health during her pregnancy.
''Yes of course Bi, I will ask my friend to handle it, '' sambar Devan.
''Aaahh yes, I also want to see my son who is still cool in his Mama's stomach, ''' exclaimed David who joined the talk.
''Perhaps the shape is still this small, '' said Emily with her hand that made a shape with her index finger and thumb.
''Indeed you think my son, lizard boy.'' David did not accept what Emily said.
''Lho it is, brother think it will be as big as what?'' answer Emily who does not want to lose with the bursts of her cousin sister.
''Already.. David what Emily said was right, with the gestational age of Zahla is still fairly young, of course the fetus is still as big as a marble seed, said Devita mediate the debate between David and Emily.
''I mean mommy, I can't see my son's face now?''
''Certainly not stupid,'' cut Devan in annoyance at David's absurd question according to him.
''But Vid, there is one thing, tomorrow there will be a surprise for you, which will make you speechless and can not think clearly anymore, said Dinar with an expression that makes David surprised.
Dinar's eyes glanced at Devita and Devita certainly knew very well what the surprise by her brother-in-law meant.
''Yes, yes. yes, I can't even wait to hear it, '' said lazy David who had moved from his seat and passed to go to the room following Zahla, his wife.
''Don't disturb your resting wife, because it's not good for your future child's health!!!'' devita yelled at David, her own son.
A broken laugh was heard except for Emily who did not understand what was meant by the words of the adult. ''Ah come on, I'll also go to sleep, I don't want to get into the adult chat too deeply.'' Said Emily who also went to her room.

The sun was beginning to be seen, a noise was heard from a cooking room, which was none other than Devita, who was cooking for her family, because it has become a habit for Devita who does not want to sit quietly waiting for the chefs to cook food for them finally Devita herself who intervened to handle some less.
''You just need to taste it and help me avoid it on the table there, I'll cook it all, understand!'' devita stressed to the chefs and other kitchen workers who would have been accustomed to the presence of her great mistress in the kitchen so early.
Good big mistress the dream of other workers of course, yes that's Devita, who never distinguish the status of each, because he thinks all are equal in the eyes of the creator.
Exactly at seven, all the dishes were already on the table neatly arranged. Some people have occupied their own dining chairs. But not with Zahla and David who are still in his room.
''Let me call them, '' said Emily, who was about to get up from her seat but stopped by hearing someone speak.
''No need, you are not calling us, but bothering us, '' said David, who had just arrived with Zahla.
Emily's eyes twirled lazily, her cheeks were raised with lips that gathered.''It sucks, '' said Emily.
''It's been.it's still too early to argue,'' cut Devita. ''Come on baby, come here. Mommy cooks healthy food for this mommy daughter, '' she continued.
''The child is like a stepchild, '' David said.
''Hahahah, you deserve to be stepchildren, sambar Emily who feels funny with what David said.
''Look at you!'' threaten David to Emily.
''Even you will be pushed aside slowly when your child is born, continued Emily who was never satisfied to tease her cousin who should have been afraid to tease her or talk to her, but Emily is still Emily who since childhood never felt reluctant to David and often invite him to argue with even trivial issues.
