EVan POV 2

I kept my word, took Lilis to Mama's house. The barrel did not come. He said he wanted to find a more brilliant idea, to be closer to his goal. The female type of fighter. But baby, I'm getting more and more ignored.

Seeing Mama laugh freely together with Lilis, made my heart warm. There's envy in my heart, why can't Mama be like that with Baras.

After having fun in the kitchen, Lilis is now in the side yard of the house. He accompanied Papa to play chess. Lilis's friendly and easy-to-mix bring-up with those around her, earned her the praise of many. Either from young or old.

As Mama and Papa once said, they crave girls. Lilis is among them. Being the youngest child.

Even Sister Elan is very cold towards women, since her lover has not been very indulgent to Lilis. Giving love like an older brother to his younger sister.

"If Aunty had a son your age, you would have your Aunt. Aunty is very happy if she can have a daughter-in-law like you, Lis," Mama said on the sidelines of our chat. And Mama's words made my heart a little restless to hear it.

A few days later, I found my wife sitting at the dinner table with her eyes open. He was disappointed that he failed to be elected as a candidate. It looks very frustrating.

Either I should be sad or happy to hear it. Maybe this is a clue that we should focus more on the pregnancy program.

"It's okay, it's okay." I'm not romantic, let alone amusing. So I just rubbed his back and then carried his head in my arms.

"But my efforts have been in vain." The barrel began to sob. His voice muttered in my chest.

"Maybe it's not a windfall yet."

Barrel took off from my embrace violently, and his eyes flashed. "But I never fail. All my life what I wanted must have been fulfilled. Even-" Suddenly he stopped his words.

"Why don't you continue your words?" I just looked at his face flat. Is there anything hidden from me?

The face changed. His eyes looked here and there like they were looking for answers.

"Nope-no. I-I mean .. um, I'm just in shock. So, my emotions are still unstable. I hope you can understand me," he replied softly.

"Yes, already. We go back to the room and just rest."

"Yes. But, I will wash my face first and compress my eyes, so that tomorrow morning does not swell. I have to keep up appearances."

I nodded and muttered in response, then entered the room. Get on the bed and sit with my back on the head. Waiting until my wife comes into the room.

"Do you still want to continue the pregnancy program?" ask me when Laras has entered the room.

"Why? Are you still asking questions about grandchildren?" Laras asked in a lazy tone.

I didn't answer the question.

Laras snorted, then laid his body beside me. "We have both checked with several doctors. The result is all the same. We're both fertile, honey. Just waiting for time."

"Then can we start the program again?" I started stroking his shoulder, then down to the arm.

"I'm sorry, I'm still sad about my failure. Can we do it tomorrow?" The tasting barrel*p small my lips. Then position himself to prepare for sleep.

"Yes, I get it. Sleep on." Forced he would just pout. I understand his character.

In less than a week, Laras made me have to fast. Until he has improved his condition, it turns out my si*l came again. He's on the red cross. For me who has a high libid*, I'm a little frustrated.

The clock is five o'clock in the afternoon, time to get home from work. I still feel at home sitting in the work chair, struggling with the actual files stay a little.

The ringing of the phone made me turn my eyes to the right side of the paper I was checking. Apparently my wife, I'm making a call from her.

"Assalamualaik."

[Waalaikum. Have you come home from the office?]

"Not yet."

[Look, can you go to Daddy's? Lilis did not come to Bude Rara's place. We haven't been able to go home because the weather is so bad. We're afraid Lilis doesn't dare to be home alone. So, I asked you to come to my father's house, and accompany Lilis until we got home.]

Looking out at the transparent glass that became my office wall. The sky is really cloudy. The rain is certain.

"Yes, here too the sky is already very dark. I went straight to Dad's house to see Lilis."

[Thank you, honey. You already think of my sister as your own sister. Be careful on the road, yeah. Love you's. Assalamualaikum.]

"Hm, Waalaikumsalam."

Laras and his parents are going to his budenya. Bude Rara and her husband, Pakde Riyanto, are ill. The distance is not too far. It can be about two hours drive. Lilis did not participate, as it happened to coincide with the exam.

I immediately finished a job that stayed a little, because I am not the type of person who likes to leave work for tomorrow.

Get out of the building, get to the parking lot where my car is. Along with the clock home from work makes the streets jammed badly. Hustle and bustle and the honking sounds of fellow road users were heard all along the way. The rain starts to fall and gets heavier.

I went straight to Dad's house, met his beloved youngest.  The rain was getting heavier, accompanied by lightning. At home, Lilis had finished cooking dinner.

"How do I cook, brother? Not bad? His fear did not match Big Brother's tongue," asked Lilis as we were having dinner. All the dishes on the table were indeed Lilis who cooked.

"Lumayan, fits." I commented what it is.

"Thank God. I am still an amateur and still learning. It can still be eaten is lucky." Lilis smiled, her face was relieved, if the cooking could be eaten.

"Taste you good. For a teenager like you to be able to cook like this, that's good." I stopped the mouthfuls into my mouth. Then ask Lilly again.

"What made you want to learn to cook? Usually, girls your age prefer to hang out with friends or study in the room. Spend time so that when you graduate school you can become a career woman."

"Being a career woman is also my dream, sister. But back again, the nature of women is like that, right. When we are married, we must be able to fill the stomach of our husband later. So, I'm learning from now on. More or less like that I've caught from Mom's teaching."

I admit the cooking is pretty good. In adolescence seems to be able to think like this, surely when she grows up she can be a good housewife. Unlike Laras who do not like to go to the kitchen, sometimes reasoned the smell of smoke. Hah .. I so compare the two of them again.

"Sister Evan immediately cleaned his body in Kak Laras' room. Let my former dinner be cleaned up" said Lilis as we spent the dinner handmade by Lilis herself.

I just obey and go straight to the room Laras which is also my room when staying here. Once back, Lilis was no longer at the dinner table or in the kitchen. Maybe he went back to his room.

I set my foot toward Lilis's room. As soon as he arrived at the door painted brown, just knock on it.

"Am I interrupting?" ask after the owner opens the door.

"Actually I have a lot of PR, and a bit of trouble. Usually my dad taught me. But now I'm not around." His face turned moody, with pursed lips. Makes me angry.

"Let me help you with PR, so that it's done quickly. It's late."

"Eh, really? Evan's sister want to help me?" His eyes sparkled like he had good luck. I'm getting more anxious. "Then we go to the living room, yeah. Just do it there. Let me take the books first."

"No need." I directly prevented Lilis. "Here you go. Let's not bother moving the book from here to the living room."
