“Mas, I have a client meeting at the restaurant. Maybe go home at night,” said Mona when Purba just came home from the office at four in the afternoon.
“With anyone?” ask Purba, while loosening her tie.
“Of course with secretary.”
“Picked up or own driver?” ask Ancient again.
“Sama driver dong, Mas. Afraid of his return.”
“Ok, careful. Success yes.” Purba gives support to Mona.
Before leaving, Mona took the time to hug her husband and kiss both cheeks. So did Purba reply warmly.
Why was Purba still so warm to Mona?
Not Purba is not firm, while Mona does not make a tantrum, she also cannot be rash. Although there was terror a few days ago, she said Mona had been pregnant with a child from another man. Only the message was Anciently ignored, because it was not important either. Mona is not pregnant yet. Except in the middle of them there is a child, only Ancient will test the child's DNA. Whose son?
The ancients never took a headache on what Mona did. Precisely if Mona does outside the norm, it is beneficial for Purba. It is easier to give a reason for the ancients to leave.
It was different for Rara, the woman she loved from the heart. So, Purba will be more possessive on Rara. There are even men who only talk to Rara, Purba will immediately interrogate the origin of the man and what is discussed.
Remember, when Rara spoke to a man waving at the branch?
Even this afternoon, Purba benefited when Mona was busy with her office activities. Because she was going to the hospital to accompany Rara giving birth.
The ancients were lucky to have Rara's wife who never demanded it more. Even now Rara does not require Purba to be beside her during childbirth. Rara remembers the message of the parents, if again pregnant do not just talk, then like the incident.
So, if Rara asks when the lahiran wants to be accompanied by Purba, then if Purba is not what? Parents said, the baby will be difficult to birth. Because waiting for the promised person will accompany.
So Rara did not expect much, her husband accompanied or not when she gave birth.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Rara felt more pressure from her stomach, it seemed like it was time to give birth. Azka felt panicked, she was sorry to see her mother who had – so many breaths, like a tightness.
Young children are not yet good at interpreting the reactions of people who want to give birth. Though, Rara included calm, just the usual reaction, take a breath and blow regularly. It's just that because of the sweat on Rara's forehead, making Azka feel tense and sick.
Azka sees her mother being taken by the nurses to the delivery room. She hugged her grandmother out of fear, perhaps strained because of her mother's condition.
“Bu. How is Rara.” The ancients suddenly came with breath still burning. Apparently he was chasing time, when Mona left, he immediately rushed to the hospital.
“Doctors said it was good, safe to give birth. Now being taken to the delivery room.”
“Azka why?” tanya Purba who was relieved to hear Bu Sugeti's explanation. Now even anxious because he saw the child who broke into tears.
Azka was even more crying, asked like that by Purba. Azka's hand stretched out, she asked to be carried by her father. Purba took over Azka from Bu Sugeti.
“So Azka pityed to see her mother, so she cried. Come as tense as possible,” explained Bu Sugeti.
Purba then calmed Azka, giving understanding that it was the struggle of a mother, so we must appreciate women, especially respect and obedience mothers. Because that is heaven under the soles of the feet of the mother, because when we give birth, the stakes of life.

“What time are you home?” asked Bu Heti, while in the rented house of Gandi, exactly was talking with Azkia.
“Sometimes after magrib, sometimes once a night.” Azkia replied with a lethargic face.
“You've eaten?” ask Mrs Heti again.
Azkia just shook her head.
“But Daddy gave you money to eat?”
Azkia nodded.
Ms. Heti persuaded Azkia to tell the truth, what exactly is Kia going through? Bu Heti although not a biological parent, he is sensitive to the state of Kia who is in a state of not okay.
Kia didn't want to say it, afraid that Bu Heti could not keep a secret. Afraid later even Bu Heti told his mother, the new address Kia.
Azkia, even though she was a child, understood and felt. That when his mother often met Azkia to the old contract, must be because of communicating with Bu Heti. Though at that time, Kia had tried to always be vigilant if his mother came. However, always he did not know suddenly his mother came while off guard.
“But that was right your twin brother?” ask Bu Heti, make sure.
It seems Azkia also has a lazy feeling about her twin sister, but she also wants to tell because it feels heavy to keep her own secrets.
“Then, why aren't you being nice on?”
Azkia was silent when Bu Heti asked, Azkia had a hard time answering. However, Bu Heti could understand the confusion of Azkia. He then advised, do not equate all those people with the same heart as well. Even we must be able to separate different thoughts for each person, even though they are close people, we must not hate everything.
Who knows, with the Azka, could make Azkia know the truth. Bu Heti also reminded, how evil Gandi is to Rara. Azkia herself was the witness of the incident.
Not that Ms. Heti influenced the little boy to hate the father. But, Bu Heti just wants to open the facts, so that Azkia does not choose her childhood in a bad place for the future.
“You understand, Son? Maybe you're still very upset with Mom. But try it, don't stay away from your brother. Listen to your little heart, you miss me, don't you? Just because you are doubtful, confused, which is right and wrong, so you feel all leaving.”
Azkia was still silent, whether she was digesting the words of Bu Heti, whether she was speechless or foolishly did not want to hear.
Well then, it's too late in the afternoon. Mom went home first. Be thankful that you think back to what you did. If you want to stay like this, it's your right Mother, can't force.
Ms. Hetty then came out of the rented room, certainly with her husband. Mrs Heti did not forget to kiss Azkia's head as a sign of separation.
Azkia, although she was silent, but had reached for Bu Heti's hand to kiss as a sign of respect, as well as for Bu Heti's husband.
A piece of Bu Heti and her husband, Azkia continued to daydream. Even though he was sweeping his clothes, but his gaze was out of nowhere, his thoughts continued to spin.
Seriate....
