"... husband?"

"Not"

...

15:00Home Amanda Riko

Amanda was making a video call with Rio and Sena before they left for the airport.

"Ri, take care of your wife"

"Sure, Ma. Mama also has to take care of herself and not have to think about us" said Rio who knows for sure Amanda will be thinking about her condition during her time in Bali

"No, you guys are having fun too. Don't stay in Bali for long!"

"What the hell, Ma" said Rio in a tone sure to make Amanda relieved.

"Ma, Sena will buy a lot of souvenirs for mama" said Sena with enthusiasm.

"You've come home healthy enough"

Amanda was happy when she saw the smiles of Sena and Rio namu from a distance there was a person who was very sad to see their happiness.

Angel wiped her tears and moved from where she stood.

"So they went to Bali"

Angel was silent while stroking her stomach and her stomach was akfiv moving as if looking for the figure she missed so much, Rio.

...

Dining table 18:30

Arfan who had just returned to work directly to the dining table while Riko chose to take a shower.

"Ma"

"Why are you home?"

"Then with Arfan"

"Oh"

Arfan looking for Angel's whereabouts, usually Angel has been sitting here or even helping Amanda.

"Where's angel?"

"Maybe he's asleep, get up there"

"okay"

Arfan walked straight to Angel's room. I don't know why Arfan is worried about Angel.

Angel's Room

"El?"

With no response from Angel, Arfan enters Angel's room. Angel's room is dark maybe Angel's sleeping from the afternoon. Arfan turned on Angel's room light

"El, where are you? Let's eat!"

Arfan went to Angel's bed and saw what he was looking for was sleeping under the covers.

"You here, let's get up"

Arfan immediately grabbed Angel's hand but Arfan felt something was wrong. Angel's wrists are warm. Arfan immediately took off his grip and touched Angel's forehead.

"The boy has a fever?"

Arfan panicked when he found out Angel had a fever and Angel was pregnant. Arfan hurriedly met Amanda.

Angel's face looked very pale with cold sweat plastered.

"Rio" said Angel with eyes still closed. Angel misses Rio so much that she gets sick like this. If he still had a cell phone, it would be easy to contact Rio.

...

Dining table.

Arfan immediately informs Angel's condition to Amanda and Riko, seeing Amanda shocked and anxious.

"What's? Angel's sick"

Amanda immediately rushed to Angel's room with Riko and Arfan. They already consider Angel his own family and times like this they are anxious.

Amanda's waking up Angel. Angel woke up and felt her head hurt.

"Ma"

"You have a fever, go to the doctor? mama's worried"

Angel shook her head slowly she did not want to trouble this family anymore. Riko memorized Angel and then stroked Angel's head.

"Well, if you don't want to go for drugs, but you have to eat and take fever-lowering medication"

Without being told Arfan immediately went to take medicine and food for Angel.

"No, Om Arfan is worried about you" said Amada while stroking Angel's stomach. Amanda is worried about Angel's fetal situation.

"It's nothing, Ma"

"Yes we know but we're worried about your condition now especially if you're pregnant"

Arfan returned with a tray on top of which there is food and also medicine.

"You want to be paired with Mama is it me?"

"Just like mom! Oh, so cheated on you!"

Arfan glared, with this condition Angel can still be creepy, while Amanda and Riko held their laughter.

"Basic bocil!" upset Arfan. Amada shakes her head.

Amanda sighed because Angel ate only a little, even though she had been persuaded. Riko and Arfan had already left. Angel feels bad for Amanda and the family because she just hitchhiked here.

"One more bribe"

"Ngga, mom. I'm full, I'm sorry I always messed with you"

"No dear, my mother was happy. Mama takes care of her own son.. Come sinnih"

Amanda hugged Angel with the warmth of a mother.

21:00

Arfan and Riko were talking and basically Arfan asked for permission to take care of Angel.

"Pa, I beg you"

"You know your limits?"

"Yes Pa, I know. I just want to keep Angel like my own sister especially Angel must feel alone here, bi Inda will not always accompany her"

"Yes, that's it then"

Amanda approached the two with a face full of anxiety.

"Angel?"

"He's sleeping, Fan. You take care gih, mama wants to prepare your papa needs to be brought to Malang"

"Huuh Papa, ngerepotin mama keeps pantesan Arfan does not have adek"

"What do you mean? say it like it's the same old man?" Riko felt that his son had always been like a child and his age was now not appropriate to play with his sister but his own child

"That's it, don't talk about it!"

"Noah.. Papa the sensi"

Arfan pointed at Riko with his chin and replied to Riko's unpleasant gaze. Arfan who can always make people upset is eager to harass Riko before Riko leaves for Malang.

"Arfan" said Riko with his anger. Arfan only looked at the row of his teeth and then fled before Riko was really angry.

"Bas with the boy!"

"Already, you know for yourself what he's like"

"You know but why don't you want to? one more child I beg, Dad?"

Amanda stared flatly at Riko. Without saying anything Amanda immediately left Riko. Riko smiled faintly, Riko's eleven-twelfth nature with Arfan requires Riko to always have a foolish idea to prank Amanda.

"More one more time can't?"

Riko immediately followed Amanda into the room. Amanda was tidying up Riko's clothes with a mouth that mengedumel not clear.

"... You fucking guy! add one more? taking care of a big baby is also complicated because it is small!"

The big baby Amanda was referring to was her two sons and her husband. Amanda felt the presence of Riko, she felt Riko would again ask that Arfan have a sister.

"I don't want to have any more children" Amanda said before Riko spoke.

"Well, you're this"

"I'm old and I'm tired of taking care of you so there can't be another baby! when my son-in-law got pregnant, I got pregnant too? it's not funny!"

Amanda's words even make Riko's face beaming as if she had enlightenment from heaven.

"What a great idea, baby, let's make a grandpa" as soon as Amanda's throw of clothes landed right on Riko's face. Riko scrunched his chin, his wife was no longer pampering him after Sena became pregnant and now there is an Angel who needs attention, he said, Amanda is more concerned with both of them, even though Riko is actually very taken care of, it's just that Riko wants her to pay more attention before she goes to Malang three days later.

"Those closet you threw at me?" riko said in an unsightly tone.

"The thing is that but lazy to finish again" Riko sniffed to hear Amanda's words. Riko immediately approached Amanda who was choosing clothes in the closet.

"Don't bother me if you don't want to help me. You are!" it's pissed Amanda got a hug from behind. Riko hugged Amanda tightly.

"Follow to the Malang well? we have the umpteenth honeymoon" asked Riko who realized lately he was very busy with his work until time with Amanda was just a little.

"Oh.so you're envious of Rio?"

"Dear baby, Angel has an aunt, right?"

Amanda sighed then took off Riko's embrace and turned to look at Riko.

"I just don't want to disturb you at work"

Cup

Amanda kissed right on Riko's lips. Riko wants Amanda to come with him, bow her head. Amanda knew Riko was very disappointed.

"You mad?" ask Amanda as Riko walks towards the bed.

"Yes" said Riko who was sitting on the edge of the mattress. Amanda who felt bad then approached Riko. Amanda smiled faintly as Riko turned her face away as if she did not want to see him.

"What a shame?"

Riko didn't respond to Amanda. Amanda chuckles and sits on Riko's lap.

"Ck" Riko clucked, he just wanted Amanda to come with him.

"Hey"

"What?"

Riko looked at Amanda with a stern look. Amanda smiled and put both hands around Riko's neck. Riko frowned.

"Want no gifts?" bargain Amanda.

"You're the prize!" riko then kisses Amanda's lips.

"not me! I bought you a watch"

"Ck, don't want to! she wants you"

"Ihhhhhhhhh!"

Riko immediately carried Amada's body and laid her in the mattress.

"Richo!" pissed Amanda. Riko didn't bully Amanda, she unbuttoned her shirt.

"What do you want?"

"Make grandpa!" riko's reply casually made Amanda snort angrily. As a wife, Amanda must serve her husband even though she does not want to after all Amanda herself has KB so the possibility of pregnancy is only a little.

"I'm KB"

"Oh. So no problem?"

"Say you wanna be so not pissing me off"

Riko just grinned the horse and then slowly climbed into bed. When Riko wants to bring her body closer to Amanda, the sound of the doorknob that someone opened, Riko hurried away and so did Amanda who positioned her body to sit and justify her hair.

Riko clucked in annoyance when he found out the person who destroyed the atmosphere was Arfan.

"We're taking El to the hospital?"

"His fever hasn't come down yet?"

"Not yet, Ma"

"Yes, you force it if he doesn't want to"

"El, still sleeping"

"Don't build it, just take it to the hospital" tell Riko who is afraid that later Angel will refuse.

Arfan nodded and left. Anxious Amanda gets off the bed to catch up with Arfan.

"Where are you going?"

"Follow to the hospital"

"Well, can't you be?" riko said with a disappointed tone.

"Later on"

"Promise!"

"H you yeah! I promise you!" hearing Amanda's answer, Riko smiled happily and followed Amanda.

....

Nursing room Angel 02:00

Angel woke up from her sleep. His eyes immediately looked at the LED TV and the scent of these medicines reminded him of.

"I'm in the hospital?" confused Angel even though she remembers she fell asleep in her room. Angel turned to the side and saw Arfan who was busy with his phone.

"Arfan" called Angel in a limp tone. Arfan who felt someone calling him then looked towards Angel's bed.

"El?" Arfan was relieved that Angel had finally woken up. Arfan immediately approached Angel to ask her how she was.

"Why am I here? my fetus" Angel immediately stroked his stomach.

"You have a fever but the fetus is okay, the doctor said you can't think much"

"Thank God, I'm sorry to bother you"

"It's okay, from now on I'll take care of you"

"What's? don't" reject Angel directly.

"I insist, besides, who's taking care of you? your husband doesn't care, don't you ever tell him to come home?"

"I don't deserve that"

"Huh? you're not his wife?"

"Oh, maybe I don't mean anything to her" Angel's tears just flowed over making Arfan feel bad about asking that. A warm kiss from Arfan landed on Angel, hoping this would calm her down.

"Favor"

"Now you're eating yah?"

"I want some chocolate bread"

"You crave yah? yes, I bought the hospital canteen still open"

"Honey, Arfan is very dear to you" said Angel while stroking her stomach. Arfan who was anxious immediately kissed Angel's stomach.

"Yes I'm leaving now"

"Can I borrow your phone? I'm bored"

"More"

After Arfan left, Angel immediately opened Arfan's phone contact. Angel wants to call Rio.

Angel smiled as Rio nodded his phone.

"Fan, I'll take Angel with you. I'm in Bali for a month"

"Sister Rio" called Angel in a hesitant tone.

"You! why is Arfan's phone the same as yours?" rio's voice did not like to hear Angel's voice.

"I borrow my postel you're ruined"

"Ck! don't bother me!"

"Why? I'm your wife"

"I've made up my mind, I'll divorce you after the child is born. It all ended like that deal"

"But you promised"

"I don't want to lose a meaningful person in my life, you're just a stranger that Sena wants to be the womb of the bride so don't dream of replacing her position"

Rio immediately disconnected his phone. Angel wiped away the tears that flowed on her cheeks.

"I should have known this was going to happen"

Angel looked at the ceiling of this room. It felt claustrophobic but made her realize that she was just a puppet that Rio was playing with when Sena did not notice her.

"I hate you, Ri"

...

It's about midnight but Amanda's not sleeping yet. He still sees the USG photos of his fetus Angel and is very happy again he will get a grandson.

"His Funnel"

"What are you doing?"

Riko sat down next to Amanda. Honestly Riko wants to know what makes Amanda so happy.

"Here, funny! he's smiling"

Amanda showed me that picture to Rico. Riko was also happy to see it.

"When will I come home?"

"Tomorrow, hopefully Arfan can take care of El"

"Surely I can and I don't seem to be a bitch"

"Who? why?"

"Haahhh I don't know, I'm just asking the straight office guy"

"She's important or?"

Amanda looked at Riko suspiciously.

"I'm just worried about the state of this house"

"You don't believe Arfan can keep his limits?"

"Yes"

"If the worst happens, let's just marry them, especially Angel's husband is not responsible! pregnant wife is not taken care of just want to be delicious!"

"Don't you? how are you angry?"

"Your nyebelin!" Amanda moved out of her seat. Riko knows Amanda's words also insinuate her but Riko is eager to make Amanda semaki upset.

"Honey, until morning"

"What the hell!" said Amanda from under the blanket. Riko walked over to the bed.

"The promise!"

"Sleep!"

"Dear you can't stand it!"

"You're sleeping outside! sleep fast!"

"Yes" said Riko while holding back a laugh.

...

Villa Rio and Sena 03:00. Bali

Sena opened her eyes. He was surprised to see Rio who was not beside him.

"Ri?" Sena looked towards the sofa and found Rio who was daydreaming.

Sena got off the bed approaching Rio.

"Why you?"

"It's okay"

"This you, we're here for a vacation but you're like this"

"sorry"

"I don't need your apologies, now that I'm awake and you also think a lot like that maybe we" Sena hung up her words and sat on Rio's lap.

"You think of Angel?" continue Sena with a disappointed tone. Sena only wanted Rio to forget about Angel for this time only.

"I can't lie, I'm worried about Angel"

"I'm guessing, but I'm going to make you focus on me"

"How?"

"Ummm" Sena seemed to think but Sena felt Rio wrapped his hand on her side.

"Are you going to get pregnant after this?"

"I want to but" Sena thought about the charade she had been playing all this time and this made her worry.

"I know everything's gonna mess up? but I just want a child born from your jaws"

"But?"

"I'll arrange everything"

"Well if that's what you want, my dear"

...

A sunny morning on the beach in Kuta, Bali is very cool. Sena was stretching out her hands as if welcoming the sunlight and a breeze caressed her face.

"So happy you are"

Sena turned around and smiled towards Rio. Rio approached Sena then hugged her from behind.

"We're taking a walk"

"Where?"

"Search for mama's souvenirs"

"We're going home a long time ago"

"We'll send it directly"

"okay"

Sena and Rio joined hands towards the traditional market that sells cindaramata typical of this area.

...

Hospital/patient room Angel. 06:30

Angel smiled happily when Amanda came to see him and also brought him chicken porridge which he really wanted to eat. The plan is Angel wants to ask for help to Arfan when he wakes up later.

Riko stared flatly at Arfan who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed. Riko was surprised because Arfan said he would take care of Angel but in fact he was still asleep even though Angel was awake.

"Ew"

"Yes"

"Say people will take care of you but are still sleeping"

"Arfan hasn't slept all night, Pa"

Riko just rounded her lips. Amanda was so happy because Angel ate it greedily unlike last night.

Arfan who heard the noise opened his eyes in annoyance. He was surprised to see Riko who had not left for Malang.

"Why not go?" arfan's question made these three people look in his direction.

"What?" arfan asked confused as if he had committed a crime.

"Nothing" Amanda replied.

"Why not go?"

"No"

...09:30

In this room only Angel and Arfan are busy with their respective minds. The atmosphere of this room seemed to make the two awkward. Arfan felt tormented by this atmosphere, he wanted to start a conversation with Angel but he was confused about what topic to start with.

Arfan sighed, the sound of Arfan's breath heard in Angel's ear made him turn towards Arfan.

"Why you?"

"Bored"

"Yes you can go"

"You?"

"I can take care of myself" said Angel with full confidence but Arfan did not have the heart to leave Angel alone but this Angel who asked him to leave.

Arfan turned his brain to the idea that Angel would forbid him from leaving.

"Oh yeah? what if there's a ghost?"

Angel speaks a thousand languages. Arfan's words made him taku but he ventured this was also noon.

"Where are ghosts in this room?"

"You don't know, Dad? this is that the hospital knows"

"Continue?"

Arfan approached Angel with a strange gurgle. Arfan looked right and left made Angel frown.

"Tell me I don't know how many people died in this room"

"Big Ahhh Arfan! you're scaring me!"

Suddenly the room became cold and Angel's fur stood up. Angel immediately grabbed Arfan's right hand and grasped it tightly. Arfan knows that this pregnant woman is scared.

"I'm leaving now"

"Don't!" ban Angel directly.

"So he was told to go"

"You're really trying to scare me"

"I was just kidding"

"Ih but the jokes aren't funny! ACCOMPANY ME!" force Angel and make Arfan smile with pleasure.

"Yes I'm with, now loose dong ntar like loh"

"Lt!"

Angel took off her grip and clucked in annoyance. Angel now knows that Arfan is just cheating on her.

"Your hair is a mess, I combin ya?" bargain Arfan and just reply deheman from Angel.

Arfan immediately grabbed the comb on the table and began combing Angel's hair carefully

"When do I come home?"

"Later afternoon"

"Why not now?"

"You're still limp"

Angel only ber"O"ria when he was very tired of being here.

"Sister Rio what's going on in Bali?"

Angel felt the pain in her chest reappear when she heard Rio's name.

"Past he's having fun with Sena" Whether intentionally or unintentionally Arfan's obvious as if heating up Angel.

"Yes, you just follow it!" tell Angel in an indifferent tone, trying to hide her jealousy.

"I want it, but it's not"

"Why?"

"No partner yet, do you want to?"

"Related!" rejecting Angel raw made Arfan frown his chin. Arfan is still cool to play Angel's hair well even though his face is dull like this.

"Why? I'm a handsome guy and I don't have a partner yet"

"But you don't have a brain!"

"Well.wow, this is a boy! if I don't have a brain where I might be rich, you freak"

"Not that! yes, you spoke like that to me when I had a husband and this is it" Angel pointed at her belly.

"It's okay, I want to be his dad"

"Not to hang out! the comb again my hair!"

"Yes!"

"My name is Angel, not a drop-in!" upset Angel and somehow the fetus in her heart is like listening to what she and Arfan say.

"Yes.iya"

Drt..drttt..

Suddenly Arfan's phone rang loudly and clearly plastered Rio's name on the screen of his phone.

"Sister Rio?"

Arfan hurriedly picked up the phone call and turned on the loudspeaker on his phone for Angel to hear what Rio said.

"Hello, brother. Why?"

"I just want to make sure you're alive"

Angel clenched both hands when she heard Rio's voice, the upset in her chest reappeared but the fetus in her heart even moved actively maybe this fetus thought Rio was nearby.

"Wah asem you brother" Arfan was annoyed by Rio's words just now.

"I'm just kidding"

"You really or I don't care, I'm afraid you want something from me"

"That's my sister's new"

"Cumbrous! just watch out for you if I go home as a peddler"

There was the sound of Rio laughing. Laughter without burden that makes Angel sick. Angel did not think there was a person as evil as Rio on this earth, with how he left Angel with a pregnant condition and not the slightest feeling of guilt.

"Even my sister, I'm just asking you to look after Angel while I'm here"

"Tape! I've been looking after him without you asking"

"Oh yeah good"

"Would you like to talk to Angel?"

Angel turned to Arfan and shook his head. Angel was very unwilling to talk to the person who had broken her heart.

"He's with you?"

"She had a fever so I took her to the hospital"

"What's? is he okay? when home? is the baby okay?" questions from Rio made Arfan confused to answer which one used to be.

"Both are healthy, is there more?"

"I want to talk to Angel"

Arfan looked at Angel. Angel shook her head indicating that she did not want to talk to Rio.

"What does he not want to say, what does he want to say? just talk in the sound of the voice"

"What's? so from earlier?"

"Yes"

"You're!" Rio sounded very upset. Arfan frowned, he did not know why Rio was angry.

"You why the hell, brother? after all, it was just a regular conversation, why in question anyway?" asked Arfan wonder anyway was right was only a light and ordinary talk, the talk of sister and sister is not a business talk, if any where Angel might understand.

"Ck, don't talk about it anymore. That's all I'm asking for"

"Yes"

"Jaga mama with Papa"

"Yes Bavel, sister also take care of health. Take care of Sena"

"Yes, it's been a while"

"okay"

Rio disconnected the phone. Arfan turned to Angel with a million questions as to why Angel would not talk to Rio. Angel feels Arfan wants to ask him something and pretends to yawn.

"I sleepy" said Angel and began to lay down his body. Angel tilted back to Arfan so Arfan did not see Angel's tears.

"Beautiful recipe, dream of me?"

Although Arfan said like this, Angel did not criticize at all.

"When is his sleep? bumil basic"

Angel pov

Why does it feel this sick? I want to get out of here but where should I go? God, I'm really tired of being like this. I want to be happy.

Lord I beg you not to separate me with my son, I am okay even if I am not with Rio from me with my son.

What will happen when this child is born all this is over? am I worthy of being called Mom? am I able to get away from my baby? can I forget all these memories and pain? God please answer my question.

I realize I was guilty of selling my own son, but you know why. I was forced to do this, I used to think it would be easy but after all that had happened I found it so difficult when I started to love him and also this movement of my soul, I loved my son.

pov end's.

"El?"
