Two months after learning of Nessa's pregnancy, all the family members welcomed her with joy. How happy they look forward to the presence of the first grandchild from the wedding of Nessa and Endi.
And two lately, Endi was battered all-out with his couvade syndrome which made him always feel bad if he wanted to eat or smell something that he thought was bad. And now the effect of alhamdulillah has been somewhat reduced. Yes, although every morning must be absent in front of the sink.
Nessa was lucky because she didn't feel the effects of her pregnancy. But, she also felt sorry to see her husband suffering. But, what can I do?
Today Nessa has absolutely no class, so she's home. Nessa is not so bored, because in the afternoon her in-laws will visit her while bringing her ordered food this morning. Yup, Winanti will see him.
And the day did not feel it was noon. The sound of her house bell made Nessa immediately rise from her seat to open the door. Nessa is impatient.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ma. Please enter!" welcome Nessa so warmly to her in-laws.
Mama Winanti entered and went straight to the kitchen to put the food and then copy it to the container. Nessa followed behind him.
"Mama also bring fruit salad for you. How is my granddaughter today? Healthy?" after copying her food to the container, the woman walked up to Nessa and stroked her daughter-in-law's flat stomach.
Nessa smiled, unable to hide her happiness anymore. "Alhamdulillah, be well, Ma. This morning Rey didn't vomit either." replied Nessa.
"Alhamdulillah if that is so. Mama relieved her horror. Yes, sit here!" Nessa said she sat down on the dining table chair and looked at her in-laws who seemed to be picking up dishes.
"Mama's special gifts. I hope you like it, baby."
Yup, this morning Nessa had wanted a hodgepodge and it had to be made by mama Winanti. No buying or interference from others.
"Eummm. yummy, Ma. Nessa likes it." exclaimed Nessa as she just put a spoonful of hodgepodge in her mouth.
"Alhamdulillah. Mama is in the mood. Oh yeah, someone will want your mama obrolin with you. The food first." Nessa nodded.
After a few minutes, the hodgepodge finally ran out, the ludes were not left. Nessa enjoyed it so much that she almost forgot that her in-laws wanted to talk.
"What do you want to say?" ask Nessa.
"We're relaxing in the gazebo. Also bring the fruit salad, who knows you'll want."
When they were in the gazebo, both of them were silent because they enjoyed the wind that blew behind the house.
"Look, the purpose of mama coming here also want to tell you that the day after tomorrow mama as well as you will go to Switzerland because papa there is a business trip. Maybe long enough because it happens that the papa branch of the company that is there is a little obstacle. A small branch really, but, it seems like papa should handle it directly. It's impossible if papa asks Rey for help, while you're still pregnant young."
Nessa got stuck. Dry throat. "How long, Ma?" ask Nessa.
"Mama doesn't know either. Maybe until the obstacle is over. Papa also took a vacation mom there, hehe. So, long time ago I guess." said Mama Winanti with a little grin.
Although the main company has been handed over to his son. But, the village still has branches abroad. Want to ask Endi for help it seems impossible considering that Nessa is currently pregnant young. It will require an Endi at all times.
"Ish, vacation. No rhyming." Nessa was just joking around to melt the atmosphere.
"Any minute. Not long. Later sometime if you have free time and you can already be allowed to travel far, yes can follow." explained Mama Winanti gave understanding.
"Yes, Ma. My mom is calm. Don't forget to bring it."
"Quiet, Honey. My mother will not forget. Oh yeah, if mommy's equally papa not here, we tipped Tasya huh? If left alone later must be lonely, he does not like the house in a state of loneliness."
"The door of the house is always open to whoever it is. Nessa is even happy because someone accompanied Nessa. Yes, even though Tasya always goes home first."
"Mama's lucky and grateful to have a daughter-in-law like you, honey. May your home always be guarded by God. And hopefully avoid big problems. Mama thanks you for accepting my mom's son, Rey. Thank you for loving her, thank you for giving her love. Mama hope that you are always bestowed happy with the presence of mama or without the presence of papa mama."
"Sure dong. Mama wants to hold her granddaughter later. Ow hell! So impatient."
'Patience, Honey. You will be born the luckiest child surrounded by a family that will give you love.
"Tomorrow mama want to shop for necessities there. You wanna come?" mama Winanti.
"By, Ma. What'sthetime? Maybe after Nessa went to college?"
'Fortunately, tomorrow is morning, not noon.

"How are you, beb? Huwaa. Long time no phone call like this. Remember almost a month ago, right? Lo how are you? Is it healthy there?" the questions streaked out of Nessa's lips. He sat leaning with his legs crossed with a laptop lit on his thigh with a pillow.
On the screen of the laptop was the full face of someone he so longed for. Just call her Vella. Nessa's best friend whom she had considered a sister despite her differences in beliefs. If calculated this is the third time recording communicate via video call. A little different, but what can I do. Their distance is too far.
"Well, all right. Oh yeah, how are you doing? Still a long time. Ughh.. So I can't wait to be fat." on the other side, Vella lay face down while facing her laptop screen.
Nessa chuckles small. "It's still a long time, Vel. It's only been two months. When do you go back to Indo? I met auntie loh yesterday. Didn't meet in the shopping mall."
"Oh yeah? Trus, what are you talking about?" date Vella fast.
"It's nothing. Just a normal conversation. I want to ask you."
"Hm. Ask what?" asked Vella got up from her lying down and changed her position to sit up straight. His hands were raised to fix his messy hair tie.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Vella immediately laughed. Where possible!
"Boro-boro girlfriend, nyari temen who's a difficult frequency."
"Then anyway? You're beautiful, Vel. So, which guy isn't interested in seeing you?"
"How much, the proof is kakau they want to come closer just back if I have told. It feels so cruel to my mouth, Nes."
"Haha, there is also good luck naroh friends who are outspoken kayak elo."
"Dikirana kali pake naroh all. Oh ga, deserted tumben? Where is Mr Endi?" ask Vella while drowning.
"There, again in the den. Busy, ordinary if already taking care of office work. Wife herself likes to be taken." laughs Nessa while laughing.
"Yeee.. Hold it first, Nes."
"What's on hold, Vel?" Nessa's Beo.
As soon as possible Vella shook her head. His best friend was completely innocent or clueless? I don't know, Vella doesn't know either.
Their conversation continued until late at night. Because given their different times, they were forced to end the conversation because it was night for Nessa, while Vella was still day.
