Patience of the Second Wife
Beautiful gift

With her eyes still swollen, Dinda was forced to leave her room because the rumbling in her stomach was no longer held back, she said, although it was not time for breakfast, the woman went straight to the kitchen to open the refrigerator looking for food that was ready to be eaten.

''Find what non?'' asked Bi Romlah when he found Dinda open the refrigerator, the woman turned to Bi Romlah who was staring behind her.

''I'm Laper Bi, is there any food?'' stroking stomach.

''Wait at the dinner table, aunty made food for Non,'' herded Dinda to the dining table, although Bi Romlah knew, but he did not ask much, surely Dinda was crying out.

After a few minutes, Dinda waited by propping up his chin with both hands, toast and milk bu mil is ready to serve.

''Please, Non,'' put the toast in front of Dinda who still seems dreamy.

''Noon, call Bi Romlah again, slightly raise his voice.

''Yes Bi, I'm sorry I didn't see that, '' started touching the food and devouring it.

''Like the non trimester is over, after this many meals yes Non, let Mom and her dedenya healthy, aunt ready anytime non call, will Aunt masakin,'' he answered by stroking his hands and ready to serve Dinda.

Dinda nodded silently as her mouth was filled with toast with chocolate jam that was indeed appetizing in the morning.

In six months I will be a mother.

In between her meals Dinda stopped her chewing when she heard the car that stopped in front of the house.

''Bi, I think there are guests deh,'' shouted Dinda who is still PW and lazy to open the door, Bi Romlah turn to see it.

''Who's bi?'' again, Dinda was wondering who had come to people's house that morning.

''Taraaammmm.

Dinda gaped on the spot, it felt like this was a dream in the morning, after last night watching her husband and first wife who were celebrating a birthday, now she got a very special surprise.

His whole family approached him.

First hug from her mother-in-law.''Happy birthday dear, sorry mom is late because your brother just told you, his great-grandson stroked Dinda's hair and kissed her forehead.

''Thank you, ma, ''' for tightening his hands.

''Happy birthday, Din, '' it is now Amel's turn to embrace him after being separated from Bu Yanti.

''Ma'am just wanted to be invited by Bang Faisal here, this is not important, looking at Amel's beautiful face.

''Whose word, Mas Faisal says every birthday you always collect a gift, and this I have a gift for you, put a pretty big box on the table.

''Happy birthday, son, may you always be given health and the baby in your womb is also healthy, said Mr. Heru who also did not hesitate to hug his daughter-in-law.

''Thank you, pa, ngeropotin y'all so.''

Faisal who had finished lighting the candle also hugged his beloved sister.

''Happy birthday, Din, sorry brother is late, because Alan must have celebrated last night.''

Deg, Dinda's heart was beating fast, even though her face was changing, Dinda was still trying to display a smile.

''Obviously dong bang, even Brother Alan is very romantic, he's sure I'm dinner in the park, lots of fireworks and firecrackers there, and a cake that's so big,'' he looked at his family in turn.

''Really?'' mama Yanti asked as if investigating Dinda's words.

''Where's the evidence?'' increasingly probing.

''Kuenya still ma, in the refrigerator, ''' he replied a little hesitant, fortunately he still saw the rest of the cake belonging to Syntia last night, otherwise Dinda did not know what else to look for.

The numbers are gone yet.

Dinda returned to ketar ketir when Mama Yanti approached the refrigerator.

''Actually pa, ''' Dinda breathed with relief when she heard the voice of Bu Yanti who looked happy.

''Mama did not expect Alan to quietly watch you, ''' sitting next to Dinda again.

''Now is the time to blow out the candles, said Faisal who was ready to watch his sister happier.

''Just for a minute, I'll call brother Alan first.''

Dinda left everything to her room.

Just reached the top of the stairs, Dinda was surprised by Alan who had been pecking there.

''Ka... brother.'' said Dinda hesitated, afraid that Alan scolded her like yesterday.

''Why are you lying to them?'' cetus Alan wanted an explanation of Dinda's words that he had heard from the beginning to the end.

''That'll be my answer later, but now that I please come with me, I don't want them to be suspicious of our relationship,''' grab Alan's hand and bring him down, I'll take him down, for some reason there was not the slightest rejection from Alan and continued to follow him until the two were in the middle of the other.

Vigorously all clapped and sang a birthday song for Dinda, as well as Alan who was no less serious, whether consciously or not the man clapped.

After chanting a prayer in his heart, Dinda just blew the candle as Syntia did last night.

Her tears just escaped when Faisal thrust a knife to cut the cake.

''So remember the same father, ''' staring at the face of Faisal who also looks sad.

''Later VC alone, surely they are healthy really, maybe Mom forgot to say, understand already old,'' re-enfold her sister's body.

''Mama and papa are their representatives, don't worry that they will be invited here again.'' Ms. Yanti calms down.

Slowly Dinda cut the cake and smiled looking at Alan who was now pecking beside him.

''Throughout the course of Dinda's life, only this year Dinda celebrated with a husband, despite the many problems that came up, Brother Alan prayed for Dinda to be strong to face him, and Dinda beg you brother, brother, continue to love Dinda, '' his door looked at Alan's face, telling Alan not to hurt him again, that's the language of his second wife's heart.

''Dinda's first cake for Alan's brother, ''' held the cake in Alan's mouth that was still stuck.

Just like Dinda, Alan looked at her fixedly.

Why is he still good with me, and he belain me in front of mama, it's not better than him dismantle everything, did he watch last night when I was celebrating Syntia's birthday.

Finally Alan took a bribe from Dinda and smiled.

''Thank you, sorry I didn't give you a gift, ''' grabbed Dinda's head and kissed her forehead.

''This is the most beautiful gift from my sister for me, thank you for accompanying me here.''

After feeding Alan with a piece of cake, now it's Dinda's turn to approach her two in-laws and her brother and lover, the woman always showed her smile even though her heart had been scratched by a wound that could not be treated.
