Sarah and Raka come home early in the morning from Sarah's apartment.
"Darling..." My mother waited impatiently.
"Right, Sarah wasn't feeling well last night?" Ask mom so worried.
"Well..." Sarah looked up, I think she's okay.
"Yes, Raka called my mom last night. After asking to eat meatballs in front of her apartment, she was a bit dizzy, possibly exhausted. So we decided to break in the apartment and get some of Sarah's stuff."
"Mama's worried, you know. Both of you're HPs are off after Raka calls."
Sarah was just messing around, Raka didn't tell her anything about the reason for it and when she called her mom and Sarah didn't know. Maybe when he was asleep.
"Same-sama lowbat, ma."
Well, this Raka always has a myriad of reasons in front of mama, like a teenager who just returned home to be interrogated because he came home late.
"Yes, stop. Take a shower first. It will come down soon, yes. We're breakfast. Your father seems to want to talk to you both."
Said mom.
"Yes, ma..." Raka kissed the mama's cheek before going up to her room above.
"Darling, are you okay this morning?" Ask Sarah.
"Sarah's fine, ma."Sarah answered with a smile.
"Not nauseous anymore?"
"Not really, ma. Just a little dizzy"
"Baking in warm water and going down, mama prepare milk for you for the development of your baby and reduce the feeling of nausea.Last night mama asked Dea to buy milk pregnant women for you." Word
mamma.
Sarah was astonished, hearing my mother's words, not expecting her father-in-law to be so attentive to her. She herself forgot if she had to drink milk at the beginning of her pregnancy, even though Yoga doctors have said that.
"Oh, mommy's bothered to do this." Sarah said badly.
"Mama don't bother, honey. I understand, this is your first pregnancy. There's a lot you don't know. We will take care together your pregnancy, so that the development of the baby is good and the mother is also healthy until the birth." Mama said so warmly.
Unstoppable, he involuntarily hugged the middle-aged woman before him. Sarah has always been independent from childhood because no one really cares so much about her. Her mother paid more attention to Sally and all her parenting matters were handed over to mbok Yem.
There's no spot of pampering. Now that she was getting such abundant attention and affection from a mother-in-law, it felt so strange and pleasant.
"Thank you, ma."Whisper Sarah with teary eyes.
"Together, my dear." Mama smiled gently.
"You know, in this first pregnancy, your husband had no experience dealing with it either. Sometimes he can trouble you, not take good care of you." The mother laughed, remembering the child.
"Raka seemed to be in front of the crowd, so mature and authoritative. Even though he's a responsible person, but he's actually a kid who still likes to be spoiled. Maybe it's because he's the youngest child and everyone's been watching him from childhood." She held both hands of Sarah.
"Please understand, if he's still mostly bothering you. Slowly he will change. A marriage will change everyone to become more mature. And the presence of the child, makes him mature into someone who is fully responsible." Mama said by giving a wise smile at the end of the sentence.
"Yes, ma. Thanks very much. Raka is a very good husband." Sarah's Law.
"Come, take a shower first. Come down soon..."
"Yes, ma."
Sarah tracks down the stairs with a feeling so light, in this house she feels reborn. All the love and attention was on him. He had so much love in this house.
"Hey, honey.for so long." Raka had just come out of the bathroom with her body still wrapped in a towel when Sarah entered the room.
"Take a quick chat with my mom."
"About what, your eyes are so swollen? I'm angry at the in-laws, huh...?" Raka laughed while getting dressed.
"People are just talking. Why is my mom angry?" Sarah twitched, rubbing her eyes.
"Kids when they come home in the morning are usually preached, you know."
"What did you say about omongi Paps? rarely do you seriously want to say something."
"Mama didn't say anything about it." Sarah was short, and soon disappeared behind the bathroom door.
...***...
Sarah and Raka went down to the dining room for breakfast, there waiting for mom and dad.
Breakfast is available, there is jam bread, chicken porridge and creamy yogurt bowl acai with fruit toppings that look beautiful and tempting.
"Mama deliberately made this creamy yogurt, good for Sarah." Said mom.
"Thank you a lot, ma"Sarah was blown away, looking towards mama.
"Make Raka?" Raka raised her eyebrows.
"You only eat what you have," replied the short mother.
"From yesterday the number one pregnant woman continues to be considered, so want to get pregnant." Raka laughed as she glanced at Sarah who blushed.
Mama and papa laughed at Raka's chattering.
Then, the fun bereakfast ritual goes with so much fun.
"Raka, how is the realisation of the co-working space?"
"It's sip pa. Just waiting for approval, Mr. Wijaya. Brother Edgar will handle." Answer Raka short.
"Dea met yesterday at the office, he said he had contacted Mr. Wijaya about it, only Mr. Wijaya seemed eager to meet you."
Sarah and Raka looked at each other for a moment.
They both thought that the business of papa Sarah who wanted to meet with Raka was just a matter of business.
Now Raka's heart becomes a little unpleasant, if papa Sarah is so forced to speak with Raka, then other matters of a personal nature may be the reason.
"So papa directly called Mr. Wijaya to confirm this matter."Suddenly papa continued.
Raka put her spoon on the plate, now her attention is on her papa.
"Pak Wijaya said what pa?"
"He just wants to meet Raka informally. Discuss business affairs casually and perhaps discuss some things of a personal nature. He said he felt the need to get close to his daughter-in-law." Papa chuckled while Raka suddenly became tense.
"Then papa said, Raka was a bit busy these days, taking care of Sarah who was pregnant." Continue papa.
Sarah and Raka are like struck by lightning, they both agreed not to tell Sarah's pregnancy to Sarah's family first, given Sally's condition is still strange and unstable.
"It looks like Mr. Wijaya doesn't know about Sarah's pregnancy?" papa frowned.
"We haven't told Sarah's pregnancy yet, we know it's only been two days." Raka answered quickly.
"Usually, a parent is the second person their child tells after their husband about something this important. Isn't pregnancy good news?" Mom now speak up.
"Yes, Mr. Wijaya seems very enthusiastic to hear it."Continue Papa.
"Tonight, we're invited to dinner at your in-laws' house." Papa threw a glance at Raka
"Eat dinner? We all?" Raka and Sarah simultaneously asked, surprised to hear it.
"Yes, tonight. First dinner invitation from besan after all this time."
Raka and Sarah looked at each other, either drama let alone what they would face, but there was no reason to refuse this meeting.
