"Good fun." Mr. Malik put a plate of fried rice made on the table, precisely in front of Arini.
Arini smiled broadly while enjoying the aroma of simple fried rice made lovingly by Mr. Malik. The man sat right in front of him and grabbed a spoon and fork.
Before Arini tasted the cuisine, he had made sure that his fried rice was enough to be consumed. He smiled and prayed before bribing the fried rice.
Arini put in her first bribe and Arini's facial expression was quite safe. There was no strange expression at that time.
"What do you think, is the fried rice good?" ask Mr. Malik.
"Enak, Mommy. Next time I may ask for another one," he said, inserting a second one.
Mr. Malik smiled with satisfaction. At least Arini still likes his fried rice. "Of course, whenever you want."

Next day.
After Mr. Malik departed, Arini sat quietly on the sofa in the television room thinking hard. He glanced at the calendar inside his phone with furrowed brows.
"It's past the moon, why haven't I got it yet, huh?" muttered Arini while scratching her head.
During this time Arini always regularly get monthly guests. This time, however, he was late. His face looked worried. Arini was frightened because all this time she had never experienced such a thing before.
"Do I have to see a doctor, okay?" arini Gumam.
In the midst of his confusion, Bi Surti suddenly came and greeted Arini. "Non. Why not Arini? Since then Aunt noticed Non seemed to be worried."
Arini was shocked. He looked over and smiled at the middle-aged woman.
"It's okay, coke, Bi."
Bi Surti nodded slowly. "Yes, that's it. Excuse me, Non. There's still work to be done in the kitchen."
Arini was silent as she watched Bi Surti who had taken a few steps away from her. Actually Arini wanted to question the delay to Bu Surti. However, he was not sure even Bi Surti knew what the reason was.
"Bi!" call Arini before Bi Surti disappears from his sight.
"Yes, Non?" Bi Surti turned around and now looked at Arini fixedly.
Bi Surti nodded then walked over to Arini and sat down right next to his master.
"What's up, Non?"
"Look, Bi. I'm over a month late. I'm so worried because I've never been late. Is this a sign that I have a disease?" arini asked Bi Surti with a face that looked paled.
Kening Bi Surti wrinkled. It seemed like the middle-aged woman was thinking hard. After the next few seconds, Bi Surti suddenly revealed a wide smile.
"Is Non Arini pregnant?"
"Pregnant?!" screeched Arini with wide eyes.
Never the slightest bit of it crossed his head. After a long time with Dodi, Ms. Nining always insisted that she had a problem. Due to the frequent listening to such words, somehow Arini's brain seemed to accept the fact that he did have a problem, aka barren.
"But, Bi. Didn't Auntie already know that all this time I-"
Bi Surti held Arini's hand tightly. "Who said it, Nope? Even doctors always say that Non Arini is fine."
Arini fell silent again in a few moments while thinking about Bi Surti's words. "Then why haven't we had a child? Mas Dodi already has Az ...." Suddenly Arini covered her mouth with her hands.
"Azkia is not Mas Dodi's son. What is Mas Dodi .. ah! I can't be negative, '" Arini murmured.
"Try Non check with the obstetrician. Who knows if this is true, Nope." Bi Surti gave a suggestion.
However, Arini's face still looked doubtful. "It's best not, Bi. I'm afraid of disappointment. Should I just buy a test pack, huh?"
Bi Surti nodded quickly. "Yes, it can too, Non. Non want? If so, let Auntie buy it at the dispensary in front."
Arini nodded her head. "Alright, Bi. Buy just one, yeah."
"Good, Non. Don't wait here for a moment" said Bi Surti.
After handing the money to Bi Surti, the middle-aged woman rushed out and headed for the pharmacy not far from the magnificent residence.
