Not Wanting (So) the Second
Chapter 4: The Umpet Square

Nisha clasped both palms of Agam. He stared fixedly at the two eyes that glared at him full of love.

"Don't want to have children?"

"Having you, I've made my life so perfect." Agam said, kissing Nisha's lips gently.

"The problem is that I'm Mas, you can have children from other women..." He said while gently rubbing both hands Agam.

"Nobody's in trouble, you and I, we're both doomed forever. There will be no perfection but you, the only source of my happiness. So stop talking about it, or I'll take off all your clothes here." Agam hugged his wife tightly while giving a little kiss on the smooth nape of the wife.

Nisha replied to her husband's warm embrace. Indeed, all this time never said from the mouth of Agam, that he wanted a baby. But which man does not want a successor? A child who can accompany in old age, and who can make their marriage more perfect.

braak.brackk..!

The couple suddenly let go of each other's hugs when their car glass was hit from outside.

Agam immediately opened his car door, and found his youngest brother smiling widely. "Lukka..?"

"Sister... Lukka's hungry.. Mama's not home yet, Lukka wants food.." Pinta the man with the mental disorder. Even though he is very mature, he still lives his days like a 7-year-old child.

The mansion opposite, is the house belonging to the Agam family. Mama, Papa, and Lukka lived in the house.

His father Agam is a professor and owner of Kasih Ibu hospital, not infrequently he is very busy so he does not have much free time. While his mother, is a famous boutique owner. They are both very rare at home, so Lukka only spends his days with a nanny, or if Agam and Nisha are at home, he will play and sleep with them.

"Lukka's hungry..?" Nisha asked, she looked softly at the big boy with that sparkling face.

Lukka nodded quickly, he deliberately waited for Nisha to come home. Because I want to eat Nisha's cooking.

"Lukka wants to eat crab, shrimp, and.eee."

"All right, let's go in.." Nisha holding Lukka's hand.

"Mama's not home yet?" Ask Agam who walks next to Lukka.

"Mama wants to make.., fashion sow.." Lukka answered with his potluck vocabulary, his mental development and mindset completely stopped when he was 7 years old.

Lukka turned around, looking round at the brother's face with cheerful eyeballs. "So you're home from work, right? Lukka can sleep here tonight, right?"

"May Lukka, you're off school anyway, right?" Agam rubbed the tip of the sister's hair while laughing.

Not never did the Agam family try to treat Lukka, they have brought Lukka to and fro, from the start of Psychologists, Consultants, even Genetics Experts. But no one can make Lukka live as a child his age.

They were very concerned, with all the things they had, positions, money, and abilities. No one can help Lukka.

The accident began when Lukka had a high fever at the age of 4 years. He got spastic and pulled the foam out of his mouth. High-level medical care was deployed by his father, two days after Lukka stopped fever and seizures. If the effect of the drug is exhausted, Lukka should be given a high dose to make his body calm again.

After a few days, Lukka's condition slowly improved. No one realized that there was something wrong with Lukka. The child remains cheerful, can still walk, but his thinking and reasoning skills are lacking. They think it's normal, because Lukka's age is also very small.

When Lukka turned 8 years old, they only realized that the ability to learn, sensory, memory and responsiveness Lukka not like children his age.

Lukka was found to have a permanent disorder of his brain stem. It can be cured through brain tissue repair surgery, but the chance of survival is very small. Agam's family therefore preferred to raise Lukka, rather than risk putting Lukka in danger.

The clock shows at 21:00...

The atmosphere of Agam house looks crowded, because Lukka invites them all to play hide and seek. Several times Agam and Nisha prank Lukka, but the big boy enjoyed his game.

This time it was also Lukka's turn to stand guard, he faced the wall. While Agam and Nisha run fast towards the hiding place.

"Nine... Ten..!" Lukka turned around, rubbing his two slightly dark eyes. It seems like he closed his eyes too tightly.

"Sister Nisha..!" Agam yelled at Nisha behind the stairs.

"No, Lukka saw sister's hair.." His whisper, then ran around the room in search of Agam.

"Lukka..? You here?" Said a 60-year-old woman, she is Ambarwati or often called Mrs Ambar. Yes, the woman is the mother of Agam and Lukka.

Lukka immediately ran towards his mother, so he forgot to look for Agam. "Mama..? Mama's home yet?"

"Here, mama bring your favorite snacks. Nisha, come here.." He sat down on the sofa, then called his daughter-in-law to join.

As Nisha's cheerful smile faded, she walked softly towards the sofa with a bland smile.

"Here, Mama bought a black forest. Let's eat together.."

Enthusiastically, Lukka took a piece of the black forest and bit it all. She loves chocolate and other sweet foods.

"Mama heard from outside earlier, it's crowded.." Ambar said, he also tasted the cake with his fingertips.

"Yes ma.. Play with Lukka again." Nisha answered slowly. Her relationship with her mother-in-law was rather awkward. Especially since the accident five years ago.

"Oh yes if there is a child... Just try you and Agam have children, surely this house is getting crowded."

Hearing that Nisha tucked her lips, just a fake smile that she threw. "Yes, if only yes.."

Since the accident, Nisha has always been cornered. His desire for a holiday to Turkey is always on the table.

"Try that time you heard the words Mama, surely your child is grown now."

For the umpteenth time, the sentence again struck Nisha, like a sharp spear that pierced deeply.

Not wanting to dissolve in the hurtful speech, Nisha also tried to find another topic of conversation.

"Boutique conditions are crowded, huh, Ma? Lukka says Mama wants a fashion show?"

"Mama cancels her fashion show." Answered Ambar laughed wryly. Lately he thought, if everything he had been chasing all this time was in vain.

"Loh, why Ma? Is Mama short of people? I can help you find..."

"Mama's lazy to continue that. Mama's age is old, why do you chase big things again? Especially now that my mother's son has had enough. Grandchildren don't have it either, who'd you like to grab it all for?"

"For Lukka.." The big boy showed up, with black lips.

"huhhhh baby, your life is enough. Don't worry..." Ambar wiped his lips with his handkerchief.

"Have you thought about what Mom said the other day?" Whispering Ambar, he reconsidered his words, which the other day had made Nisha cry as much as she could.

Nisha bowed, her fingers scratching each other finely. It was his fault, and he was the one who had to find a way out. So that the Agam family can still allow him along with the husband.

"Sorry, Ma. If it's to divorce Mas Agam, I can't. But I will find another way, so that Mas Agam has a descendant."

"How..?" Ambar's face looks pias, he considers Nisha's speech just like playful.

"Hey, my body's all itchy because it's hiding in the closet, but you guys are even good at eating?" Chirping Agam interrupted, both of his hands were busy scratching the body.

"Why divorce..?" Seloroh Lukka with a plain face. He caught the sentence Nisha said, but the word 'divorced' he did not understand it. That's why he asked back.

Saras and Nisha instantly turned their backs, while Lukka just stared in curiosity.

"Who's divorced..?" Agam folded his forehead with a deep look.
