"Congratulations, Alina!" Imelda approached Alina and hugged her best friend's body with one hand because the other hand was still tightly holding Baby Rendra's body.
"But I'm scared, Mel. I'm afraid that Mas Erlan and my mother-in-law are not ready to accept the presence of this baby. I'm afraid to gossip to people because I'm pregnant again when Baby Arkana is only six months old" said Alina with a increasingly tangled face.
Imelda laughed off hearing Alina's complaint at that time. "Oh my goodness, dear Alina. You're too parno actually. I'm sure, Mr. Erlan and your mother-in-law must be very happy to know you're pregnant again. Who dares to gossip Mr Erlan's wife? Mr. Sean doesn't dare to say anything about you" Imelda said as she stroked Alina's back.
Alina turned to Imelda with her disheveled face. "Is that true, Mel? Are you sure that Mas Erlan and Mommy Afiqa won't be mad at me?"
"Yes, trust me! On the contrary, they will surely be pleased to hear it" said Imelda steady.
Alina was silent for a moment while looking at Baby Arkana who was babbling on her lap. "I'm sorry Mommy, Arkana. Mommy didn't mean to make you an older sister at this young age" said Alina, kissing the top of Baby Arkana's head.
"Tante Alina need not worry, Rendra will also be Kok, Aunty," continued Imelda while moving the hands of Baby Rendra, as if Baby Rendra was the one who spoke at that time.
Alina laughed softly then stroked Baby Rendra's cheek gently. "You're right, honey. You two will be brothers at a very young age" said Alina.
Imelda smiled wryly then stroked Alina's hand. "You're still mending, Lin. Just look at me! With Baby Rendra's condition like this, she must have a sister and my duties as a mother become even heavier, Lin."
Alina was silent while looking fixed Imelda's eyes that looked teary. Alina's heart was really touched after hearing the words of her best friend. Suddenly Alina was embarrassed because she had complained to her best friend. Yet what Imelda felt right now was much heavier than what she felt.
"Oh, Imelda .. I'm sorry," said Alina while embracing Imelda's shoulder.
"Well, why should I apologize? You're not wrong, Alina," said Imelda.
Just now Alina wanted to say Imelda, suddenly her phone rang. From the ringtone that was heard, Alina knew that the one who was contacting her was Erlan.
"Awhile, Mel. Mas Erlan called me" Alina said as she received a call from the man.
"Yes, Mom?"
"Alina baby, go home. I'm home, waiting for you."
"What's? Has he gone home? How, quickly?" alina asked with a confused face.
"Come home soon, yeah. I wait, you know!" saith.
"I have to be right back, Mel. Mas Erlan suddenly came home quickly and he was waiting for my arrival," said Alina with a matted face.
Alina still wanted to be with Imelda, but because Erlan had ordered her to go home. So inevitably, Alina also had to obey the wishes of the man.
"It's okay, Lin. After all we can still gather again next time" said Imelda trying to comfort Alina.
"Yes, you're right."
After finishing the goods needed Baby Arkana, Alina also say goodbye to Imelda and immediately return to his residence.
Upon arrival at his residence, it turns out that what Erlan said is true. The man had already returned home and Alina rushed into the magnificent room with quick steps.
"Where is Mister?" alina asked one of the servants who welcomed her arrival.
"Master is waiting for you in the room, Miss," replied the maid.
Alina furrowed her brows after hearing the reply from the maid. "Room? Why is Erlan waiting for me in the room? What's he doing?" he murmured as he continued to step towards the room.
"Oh my God, Mom! You why?" pekik Alina arrived at the main room. He was so shocked after seeing Erlan lying weakly on their bed.
Alina rushed over to Erlan and sat down next to the man. "Why are you, Mas? Aren't you okay this morning?" alina asked with an anxious face. While the person he was worried about was smiling while looking at him with a strange look.
"For you" Erlan said as she handed a new test pack to Alina.
"What's this?" cry Alina.
"I want you to try it" said Erlan, still with a strange smile.
"Yes, God! Did Mas Erlan already know that I was pregnant," Inner Alina with a paled face looked at Erlan.
