MARRYING YOUR BEST FRIEND
CHAPTER 39: L e l u c o n

Rani stares at her reflection on the glass, she observes her still-unenlarged belly probably due to just walking two weeks into her pregnancy.

He touched his stomach, trying to feel the presence of a small creature in there, although it still feels strange but somehow Rani felt calm like someone was comforting him.

Rani stroked her stomach once again, “Nak, you really exist huh? sorry if Mom still has trouble accepting you,” Rani is like talking to herself because there is no answer from inside.

“But I will try to love you, son, okay? You do not get angry with me,” said Rani again, she smiled staring at her own reflection in the glass.

Before long his phone rang a sign of an incoming call, it was Mom who called him.

“Assalamualaikum Bu,” said Rani after lifting the call.

“Ya Allah Nduk, you did not call Mom when she arrived in Jakarta,” said Mother sounded upset, indeed Rani had thought to call home but she forgot.

“Sorry Mom, Rani forgot to call Mom. Now Rani rarely open hp,” he said trying to make Mother understand it.

“It's okay, you get along with Nak Tama?” ask Mom who made Rani frown a little.

“Akur Ma'am, we never fought,” explained Rani.

“Not fighting, but you're angry Tama mulu, kasian you know her.”

Rani sighed, her parents even now care more about Tama than she does, “Iya. No Rani anurin.”

“Lha have you checked again?”

“Not yet, not yet. Tama has also started work, so we are busy.”

That's just the reason Rani, even though she refused Tama's invitation to see a doctor under the pretext of sparing.

“Alhamdulillah if Tama has started work, work where?” Mom seems curious about her daughter-in-law's work.

“Work at the cafe Bu,” he meloudspeaker his phone because he wants to prepare the night, after work Rani had time to shop at the market, he thought there was no harm in occasionally cooking, anyway let more efficient too.

“Cafe what is Ran?” Mother is still not familiar with places to hang out young people today.

Rani began to remove materials from the crackle, actually Rani had been home since this afternoon but because she felt tired Rani chose to lay down her body that felt very stiff.

“That's Mom, who makes young people coffee but yes now more modern, the cakes are modern,” explained Rani trying to explain as much as possible.

The menu that Rani will cook is not too complicated herself will only make spinach vegetables, and frying tempeh maybe the addition of Rani will make the sauce terasi, let it be if Tama is not doyan cuisine, he thought.

“Oalah, Alhamdulillah the important halal.”

“Which father went Bu?” asked Rani, because from earlier she did not hear the voice of her father.

“Negular dating with Pakdhe mu.”

Rani laughs at what Mom said, “Nnothing Mom, maybe Mr. Bosen at home continues. Oh yes Father so accept Pakdhe order?”

Rani recalled that her father wanted to start returning to work, even though he had forbidden still he kekeh wanted to do it.

“So Nduk, has started since yesterday,” said Ibu.

Rani began to prepare all the cooking ingredients she needed, but when she was about to start peeling the kitchen spices somehow her stomach churned Rani to have to run to the bathroom.

“Nduk you why?” mother asked in panic, who apparently heard Rani's nauseous voice.

Rani wonder, she does not usually experience such things, “Bu, Rani kok nausea ya peelingin onion,”

“That's because you're pregnant again like,” said Mother.

“What is Bu?”

“Everyone who is pregnant has different challenges Nduk, someone who is pregnant with Rendi, do you want to? Mother rarely really you know near the Father because Mother became nauseous if you smell the Father,” recalls Mother.

Rani massage her temples, “Iya Bu, why is it so strange, Rani so males cook if gini.”

Tama know-know already bent his head into the room, indeed Rani has not closed the door because she wants to cook fear the smoke will make the tightness later.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Tama took off her shoes.

Rani looks at the clock on her desk which still shows at 20.00 wib, which means Tama came home early today, “You have come home?”

“Mother, Tama just thought about calling home after work,” said Tama approached the phone lying next to Rani, he put his bag and guitar under the bed.

“Iya Nak, I thought you guys were calling. You have rested first, I close first huh?”

“Lho really fast call Bu?” tama Protest.

“Mother has already called Rani, tomorrow again yes, I am sleepy tomorrow want to go to the market early in the morning.”

Rani knows it's just Mom's excuse, but I definitely feel she doesn't want to bother Rani and Tama.

“Iya Ma'am, how are they closed?” Rani protested.

“Udah, you just want to eat it for Tama. Already yes assalamuaikum children Mother.”

After saying this, Mom just hung up her phone and left her silence.

Tama observed Rani's room that looks a little messy in front of the bathroom which is provided a small plot for cooking, “You want to cook? I don't know if you also cook, because there is no stove, right?”

Tama carefully observed the place that looked a little different, there was a portable stove and other cooking utensils.

“I rarely cook, but there is a portable stove and cooking utensil just in case if you want to cook,” explained Rani, “All I keep in that box, on top of the closet.”

Rani pointed to the big box that was on top of her closet, but then she looked at Tama slightly begging.

“Why?” tama asked later, the man will be preparing to clean himself in the bathroom.

“But the richness I can not continue, because the nausea was just like the smell of onions,” said Rani, he thought Tama would laugh at him or even tease him but unexpectedly the man actually smiled understandably.

“Start, because you are pregnant again. I'm the one who cooks, right? besides cooking, I was trying to think you want to eat outside you know,” said Tama honestly, said, indeed, he had intended to invite Rani to eat outside so Retno told him to go home because of his bruised face.

Rani approaches Tama, Tama who is surprised by the unexpected also close herself to the wall, “Why do you want to do?” tanya Tama panicked.

Rani touches the purple Tama temple, Tama reflexes squealing, “Awww! Pain Rani,”

“You why are so often injured anyway, out of fight ya?” ask Rani to investigate.

Tama clumsy, he was confused to answer whether there was no way he was telling the truth that he had a fight with Rafi this afternoon, and it all happened because of Rani.

Tama hurriedly went into the bathroom before Rani increasingly interrogated him, “Ngot nothing, was sucked at cafe.”

“You got sucked how many times until his face was all blue?” Rani knows Tama is hiding something from her.

“The wall is soft, so mentally my head,” replied Tama ngawur.

“Not funny,” upset Rani, who successfully made Tama laugh out loud for her own reasons that are very unreasonable.

“Rani,” call her later, still from inside the bathroom.

“What?” answer Rani briefly.

“For your heart little dong, can?”

It did not take long Rani confidently rejected it, “Nggak,” and Tama have predicted that answer.

“Hmmmm, yaudah,” says Tama resigned.

“If my heart is divided, then stay half, let me,” answered Rani lightly, and again successfully make Tama widened it turns out Rani who acts as a judge to him can make jokes too.

Rani understands what Tama means, only she feels not ready to comply with Tama's request, but Rani this time tries not to hurt the man.
