"Mother, Ara pamit out for a while," said Ara approached Dara who was watering the plant.
"Where, baby?" tanya Dara looked at Ara fixedly.
"Ara to the house for a while, there's something Ara has to take," Ara replied kissing Dara's hand.
"Mother is friends? Mother is worried that you are going alone," said Dara stroking Ara's head.
"No need, Bun. Ara can be alone," Ara replied with a smile. Dara breathed a heavy sigh.
"Yes, be careful on the road."
"Yes, Bun. Assalamualaikum," said Ara.
"Wa'alaikumusalam," replied Dara.
Ara immediately left. He drives his favorite car. Along the way, Ara continued to see various snacks sold on the roadside. His saliva seemed to spill.
"Would you like some snacks, huh?" muttered Ara while smiling. He parked his car on a fairly quiet roadside. Ara got out of the car, approached some traditional hawker sellers.
"Mom, the original serabi is one?" said Ara.
"Every non, sit down first" said the seller. Ara pulled out a chair and sat there. His eyes look over here and there. See the crowds that filled the capital.
"Mom, my order was?" ask a man of stout stature. Ara who heard the voice immediately looked towards the man. Ara's mouth was locked. His eyes were fixed on the figure currently standing before him.
"Hubby" said Ara quietly, with tears in her eyes. He got up from his seat. Walk slowly closer to the man.
I'm not dreaming, am I?
"Wife's not coming, den?"
Ara's steps came to a halt upon hearing it. Her tears just rolled away. He was very sure, the man before him was Alan. Although the face is now filled with fine hairs. Then, who was the wife that the seller's mother meant?
"Alan," called Ara with a quivering voice. His hand touched the man. He himself was confused, why he dared to touch the man.
The man turned around, looking at Ara fixedly. Ara's heart raced great. His eyes are perfectly round.
Yeah, correct. That's Alan, I know him well. He was right my husband.
"Hubby" said Ara, hugging the man. She was crying happily. The man's body stiffened.
This warmth belonged to Alan. Oh my God, if this is a dream. Don't wake the servant.
"Ara misses so much, hubby. Why isn't hubby coming home?" tanya Ara raised her head. Looking at the face she missed so much. Ara was so sure, if she really was Alan.
"I'm sorry, you're wrong" said the man pushing Ara's body slowly. Ara looked at the man confused.
"Non, it seems that miss is indeed the wrong person. Aden already has a wife, is pregnant even," said the seller. Ara looked at the seller and the man before her alternately.
"No, I can't possibly be wrong. I know my husband very well. Hubby, I remember again, this is Ara, Bi. Hubby's wife. Look, this is our son" said Ara pulling the man's hand to touch his big belly. The man pulled his hand back.
"You're wrong, man" said the man immediately walked away. Ara was surprised.
"Bi, why did hubby forget about Ara? Ara's been waiting for hubby long enough" Ara shouted. But the man ignored Ara's screams. Ara sat down lethargic, touching her stomach that hurt.
"Akhhh..," ringis Ara as her stomach aches. He felt something flowing there.
"Non why?" ask the seller to come to Ara.
"It hurts" said Ara squeezing her clothes tightly. Ara grew more anxious, as she again felt something flowing more and more down there.
It's not time yet, why is my stomach so sore? Oh God, please help me. Protect the slave boy.
"I called for an ambulance" said the seller, taking his cell phone. Ara continued to grimace in pain. His body trembled, enduring the growing pain. His feet suddenly went limp.
"Bi..," called Ara as her head turned violently. His sight is getting blurred. His hearing is no longer clear. The pain is becoming.
"Hubby" said Ara smiling. Dimly he saw the figure of Alan who was putting on an anxious face. Ara's eyes slowly closed. Until everything is not seen again.

The smell of the hospital was so strong. Ara began to wake up. He opened his eyes slowly. Ara grimaced as she felt a pain in her stomach. He touched his stomach. How surprised he was when he saw his stomach had deflated.
"My boy?" said Ara with a feeling of anxiety. A glimpse of the memories he had.
"Where's my son?" Ara looked around. Looking for the whereabouts of her little angel.
"Darling, are you awake?" ask Dara who just came in. Ara immediately looked at Dara lekat.
"Mother, where is Ara's son?" tanya Ara started crying. Dara approached Ara and hugged her tightly.
"Don't cry, your granddaughter is being bathed by the sisters." Dara kissed Ara's forehead gently. Ara raised her head to look at Dara.
"So he's alive?" asked Ara so innocently.
"Basic, what do you think huh? Your son is healthy, he is very handsome" said Dara patting Ara's back softly.
"He's a boy?" tanya Ara started to stop crying.
"How can you bleed, huh?" tanya Dara cupped Ara's face. Ara looked at Dara confusedly. He remembers meeting a man who looked so much like Alan.
Would you believe me if I met Alan?
"Who brought Ara here?" ara asked back.
"The moon" answered Dara. Ara was disappointed to hear Dara's reply.
"Mother is very worried when the hospital contact mother, you experience heavy bleeding. The doctor took action to perform the operation immediately. Then, you were in a coma for four days. Mother is very worried, dear."
"Four days?" asked Ara surprised.
"Yes, you're very anxious when you don't wake up. Your child keeps crying, making you even more afraid." Dara kissed Ara's head gently. Ara came back crying. Alan's face turned around in his head.
"Ara wants to see Ara's son, Bun." Ara hugged Dara tightly. Spilling a sense of tightness in his chest.
"Yes dear. But why cry? Soon she had finished her bath" said Dara, confused by Ara's attitude.
Ara just wants Alan here, Mother. Every wife dreams of the presence of her husband during childbirth. But Ara couldn't feel that. That's very painful.
"Here, why keep crying huh?" ask Dara when Ara doesn't stop crying.
"Alan broke the promise, Bun. Alan wasn't there when this boy was born. Alan is evil, Ara is disappointed. Ara's heart hurts, Bun." Ara's getting hysterical. Dara's heart ditched upon hearing that. He could feel the pain that Ara was feeling.
"You must be sincere," said Dara continued to kiss the head of Ara. But suddenly Ara grimaced. Feeling the pain in his stomach. Dara was surprised.
"Why? Is your stomach hurting again?" ask Dara worriedly. Ara nodded.
"Delay call the doctor," said Dara directly pressing the button directly connected to the doctor's room that handles Ara.
No one realized that Nissa was standing at the door. Nissa heard all of Ara's hurtful words. She was crying behind the door. His heart was like a slice. He also missed Alan. The son he loved very much.
Mama misses you Alan. Now that Junior is born, why did you leave so quickly?
Nissa paused her intention to enter. He rushed away. Leaving Ara's room.
Not far from the room. It looks like a man is standing stiff. Her tears just drip. Staring at the door of Ara's room with a blank look. Then he went away from there.
"The stitches are a little open, you better not move too much."
"Sorry doctor" Ara said blankly. The doctor looked at Dara full of question marks. Dara just shook her head.
"Oh yeah, what husband?" ask doctor. Ara did not respond at all.
"His husband is dead Doc," replied Dara. The doctor looked very surprised.
"Died? Then who brought Ara yesterday? He said the man was a madman's husband, and he was the one who abused the baby." The doctor looked at Ara and Dara was confused.
Ara and Dara were very surprised when they heard the doctor's exposure.
"Ara wasn't brought here by ambulance?" ask Dara confused.
"Yes, but at that moment his mother came with a man. The man also accompanied his mother to the operating room" the doctor said. Ara closed her mouth in disbelief.
"Mother, it's Alan. Ara was very confident, Ara met Alan before the incident," Ara said smiling happily.
"really? Not that...,"
"Not yet, Alan is alive. Ara knows, Alan's follow will leave Ara. Mother, that means Alan is here. Ara wants to find Alan, maybe he's with Junior," Ara said.
"Assalamualaikum," said a nurse who had just entered. It stopped Ara's movements.
"Wa'alaikumusalam," they answered simultaneously. Ara looked at the tiny baby in the sibling.
"The child is finished in the bath," said the nurse gave the baby who was still red to Ara. Ara stared at her son's face for quite a while.
"Bi, look. Everything is so similar to hubby" Dara said, taking her son with care. Her tears came back. A warm kiss he gave to his little son.
"Assalamualaikum, dear," said Ara again kissed Junior's red cheeks. Junior looks squirming. His lips kept moving.
"It looks like she's thirsty" said Dara.
"Can Ara give you asi?" ara looked at the doctor.
"Can, please try," said the doctor helped Ara to breastfeed Junior. Junior looks eager to find the source of the asi.
"It hurts, Bun." Ara grimaced as Junior began to suck up so voraciously. Dara who saw that smiled.
"Normal for the first time" the doctor confirmed Junior's position. Ara looks nodding. Enjoy every rare moment of being a mother.
"Darling, if you're here. Then where's abi?" tanya Ara stroked Junior's cheek. Ara's tears were already starting to dry up. Now back to wet his cheeks.
"Let's say you're so evil, he won't meet umi. Though Umi really miss abi," continued Ara so bitter. Everyone who heard that was silent. Looking at Ara was so pitying.
Hubbys. If it was hubby, why didn't hubby meet Ara? Why did hubby shy away from Ara? What the hell is going on?
