With a heavy heart Devan left his parents' house and invited Shanum to live in his apartment.
"Sister...! shouldn't I go back to Bandung?" shanum said slowly.
"No, honey! we'll face all this together, I won't leave you alone in Bandung, while I work here" Devan hugged Shanum's body tightly.
"It's hard to take your mama's heart, brother! from the beginning he has not approved of our marriage" Shanum lamented.
"We will try again later, now we just need to pray, so that papa and mama will accept this marriage," Devan hugged Shanum's body tightly. The woman looked pale, tears falling at the corner of her clear eyes.
Time goes very fast, the days passed by Shanum calmly while in his apartment. Until one day, Lady Sonia came to the apartment, when Devan was not there.
"Please sit down, Mama ..!" shanum said as the woman walked in, with her arrogant attitude.
"No need, .. I came just to remind you, village girl., first don't call me mama, ..because I don't have a daughter-in-law like you. Second, you better know yourself, your place isn't here.You should get divorced from Devan as soon as possible. I'll give you money, whatever you want, as long as you leave Devan" Sonia said haughtily.
Shanum was silent a thousand languages.no words were spoken from his mouth. He tried to calm his heart, so as not to cry in front of the woman.
"And, another one. Sooner or later Devan will marry Vania, so you have to get ready, to get out of this city," he continued.
Shanum took a deep breath, his chest felt tight, his body suddenly weak. Shanum fell on the floor unconscious.
Lady Sonia, looking panicked, looked at Shanum's body located on the floor. Hurry him out of the apartment, leaving Shanum without any feelings of guilt.
Luckily, Devan came home shortly afterwards.
"Shanon...!Shane ...!wake up baby, what happened to you!" Devan lifts Shanum's slender body to bed.
Devan tried to wake his wife by giving her eucalyptus oil, but Shanum had not yet regained consciousness.
Finally, Devan takes Shanum to the nearest hospital with his apartment.
"Sir Devan, it looks like your wife is pregnant, she may be exhausted, for more details, you should take her to an OBGYN doctor, I suggest you take her to Hana's doctor's clinic," said the doctor who examined Shanum.
"Good, doc!" a glimmer of smile expands on Devan's face.
"Sister,.Why am I in the hospital?" shanum asked weakly.
"So you passed out in the apartment, I was worried because you were unconscious too, forced to bring you here" Devan replied.
"I why brother ?"ask Shanum again.
"Darling, you're pregnant, we're gonna have kids!" exclaim Devan happy.
Shanum smiled bitterly. Happiness should belong to Shanum by now. But the threat of Lady Sonia earlier cannot be ignored.
"I'm pregnant, brother!" reload Shanum
"Yes, why? isn't that great, my mama must have been happy to hear this news, because she wanted a grandchild, to complete our family," Devan said.
Shanum forced to smile, he did not want to destroy Devan's happiness. If Devan had known, if his mother had come to threaten Shanum, I don't know what the man's reaction would have been.
"Sister, we're home!"bring Shanum.
"Are you feeling better, baby?"
"It's brother,"
"Wait, I'll call the doctor first, let the doctor make sure, if you can go home or not," Shanum nodded.
A female doctor, parading ayu, came to them.
"Your body is still weak, Shanum, it's best to rest here first" Hana's doctor advised.
"I'm fine, doc!" shanum.
"If you want to tell me something, speak up I'm ready to hear you, Shanum! a woman will be happy with her pregnancy, but I see you're sad!" doctor Hana said.
Shanum took a slow breath, his tears falling on his cheeks.
"Doctor, I'm afraid, my in-laws told me to get divorced from my husband" Shanum said.
"Why could that be?" ask Dr. Hana.
"My husband's parents, not consenting to our marriage, sooner or later, Devan will be married by their choice" Shanum's eyes began to fog.
"Try to calm down, Shanum! do not rush to make a decision. Who knows if they'll accept you after they find out, you're pregnant with their grandchildren!" advice of Dr. Hana.
"Come smile, you can't stress, Shanum.This is your first pregnancy, you have to be happy!" dr. Hana encouraged her patient patient patiently.
"Thank you, doctor ! I want to hear my complaints!" Shanum felt a little relieved, after telling about his sadness there was doctor Hana, an obstetrician he had just known.
Doctor Hana smiled, and asked Shanum to rest first.
...----------------...
Devan stepped on his feet, in the big house of the Mahendra family, with a big smile on his face.
"Mah,...!" he called, when he saw the woman who had given birth to him, sitting alone in the back garden. Lady Sonia, turned her head for a moment and turned her gaze immediately.
"How is your wife !" sonia's mistress asked, Devan frowned. Tumben the mother asked about his wife.
"Shanum's still in the hospital, Ma! why is my mother suddenly my wife ?"
"No. Just wonder why you came alone" actually in Lady Sonia's heart, afraid that Devan would find out, that she came to her Son's apartment before Shanum fainted.
"Ma ...! will mom and dad accept my marriage, if Shanum's pregnant?" devan said carefully.
"Are you pregnant now?" ketus Mama Sonia's.
"Yes ma, Shanum is pregnant, she is pregnant with your grandchildren" Devan said looking at her mother's face, hoping to get her blessing.
Lady Sonia was silent for a moment, she was planning something in her mind, for her son's relationship with Shanum to end soon.
"Alright, but you must stay in this house," said Mrs Sonia finally succumbed.
Devan smiled hugging Madam Sonia tightly,
"Thanks, Mom! I'm gonna take Shanum to our house" Devan seemed happy with his mother's words.
Madam Sonia just smiled faintly.
...-------------...
In the spirit of 45, Devan picks Shanum up at the hospital, he can't wait to tell his wife, if Mama Sonia wants to take them back home.
"Really, brother!" Shanum hesitated a bit.
"Dear, I just got out of my mom's house, she wants us to stay there, so she can easily keep an eye on your pregnancy,"
Shanum was worried, he felt disbelief, Lady Sonia changed so quickly. But before that Lady Sonia did not know of her pregnancy. Maybe she's become changed because of Shanum's pregnancy.
With a heavy heart, Shanum finally followed her in-laws' willingness to stay at her husband's family home. Since then Shanum began to feel like living in hell.
"Heh, village man, you think all the facilities in this house are free" said Lady Sonia, on the first day Shanum stayed at the house, when Devan had left for work.
"What do you mean, Madam ?" shanum Sahut
"You have to work in this house, don't expect you to be queen, do your duty, you can ask Surti," Lady Sonia left Shanum stunned as she stood.
Then she stepped into the kitchen, to look for the family's domestic assistant.
"Sir, what can I do, Lady Sonia asked me to ask you my duty" Shanum said.
"Now, read it!" Surti's mother handed him a piece of paper containing a record of the work Shanum had to do every day. Starting from sweeping, mopping, throwing garbage and all other heavy work.
"Well, where do I start, ma'am?"ask Shanum.
"Everything downstairs, but not Sonia's mistress' room, you're forbidden to enter!" mba Surti ketus. Looks like that woman hates Shanum.
"All right,!" Shanum started his work, following everything that Madame Sonia had written. Fortunately, her pregnancy did not torment her so much, that Shanum could work well.
Almost half a day, Shanum had just finished cleaning the mansion. He felt hungry, and thirsty, because his stomach had not been filled from the morning.
"Sir, I'm hungry, can I eat?" shanum asked Surti, who was busy preparing food for lunch.
"Now,why you?" Surti pointed at a plate of rice, with a potluck side dish, a piece of tofu and tempeh and a plump egg. Make Shanum no problem, because from a long time ago, it was his daily food.
"Thank you, Ma'am !" Shanum immediately ate the food voraciously, as his stomach was very hungry. Moreover, she had to share with the baby that was inside her womb.
"Please son, don't be naughty in the belly, mama!" Shanum stroked his still flat stomach.
