********

An upset Shien returns to his parents' home with Mr. Bayu, Papa Wijaya's personal driver. He slammed the car door hard after descending, it suddenly made Mr. Bayu slightly jerked because it is not usual to see Shien who is usually very calm suddenly such emotions.

The girl then walked into her house with a bad heart after previously giving an ultimatum to Mr. Bayu to not tell the sky that he went home. Mr. Bayu just nodded timidly and gulped because Shien threatened to ask Papa Wijaya to cut his salary if Pak Bayu told Sky.

Shien stepped foot into the dining room where his parents were and it looked like they were just about to start breakfast.

“Ma, Pa. . .” Call Shien as he approaches his parents who are sitting on the dining table chair.

Mama and Papa who heard her daughter's voice turned their heads, then smiled happily because her daughter was really in her house. Not the hallucination sound. But they were quite surprised to see the face of the princess who was bent sour.

“Shien. . .”

Mama greeted her little daughter with a sparkling face, even getting up from her seat and undoing her intention to start breakfast just to give Shien a hug.

“But kangen.” Mama gently stroked Shien's back.

“Hmm.” Sahut Shien was not excited as he broke his embrace, then turned to Papa who was sitting at the end of the table.

“Seneng really you have come early in the morning gini.” Said Papa no less happy than Mama. “Where's the sky?” He asked later because he did not see the existence of Heaven with his daughter.

“I came home alone ushered Mr. Bayu.” Shien pulled away, then sat down on the chair that Mama had originally occupied so that her position was in the middle between Mama and Papa.

“Lho, how about yourself?” Ask Mama with a frowning forehead. Shien simply flicked his shoulders in annoyance, then grabbed the glass of water that was on the table and drank it up to the toilet, then put back his glass in a slightly jerking motion.

Mama and Papa throw at each other a confused look at her daughter's strange demeanor.

“You fight the same Sky?” Shoot Mama staring at Shien fixedly, her face turning worried. Shien fell silent not acknowledging it as if confirming.

“You fight, keep Sky tell you to come home to us? Geez, the time has not even three months of marriage Mama's son has become a young widow.” Panicked Mama with all her wild thoughts.

Shien rolled his eyes puffed. “Yes that's not it, Ma.” He hastily confirmed as he muttered thousands of words of amit-amait in his heart. She was a young widow, no longer a virgin. It will not and should not happen.

“That, yes?” Mama grinned stiff because it's been a scene herself. “Keep you why come home alone here?” Ask Mama carefully while tucking Shien's slightly messy little one behind the ear. However, her little girl was only speechless with a frowning face.

“Shi. . .” Papa raised his voice after a moment of silence was created. They even ignored the breakfast he was about to eat. Shien only looked up to reconcile his gaze with Papa without replying.

Papa then grabbed Shien's hand and held it. “Now you are the same Sky is married, not dating anymore. So it's not good if you even leave when there is a problem.” Papa's Advice. “You must finish it together when you are married, with a cool head.” Imbuhnya.

Shien sighed softly as he pulled his hand from Papa's grasp. Both of his parents misunderstood him too far. He did go home, but not because of a quarrel with the Sky, but was upset at the man.

“I no longer fight with the Sky, really, Ma, Pa.” Shien said, making Mama and Papa both frown confused. “I came home alone here because again the same sky.” He lightly hit the dinner table slowly with his clenched hand furious.

“Emang Langit already what are you?” Mama asked patiently as she gently stroked Shien's long hair.

“Because of him already. . .” Shien blinked confusedly and hung up his sentence, hesitating to continue. But Mama and Papa continued to highlight it asking for clarity so inevitably he continued his sentence. “She's pregnant with me.”

The movement of Mama's hand that was stroking Shien's hair instantly came to a halt. He was quite speechless hearing the last sentence that was thrown from the mouth of his little daughter. While Papa almost choked on his own saliva, feeling funny, anxious, irritated, and also happy of course heard that.

“So you're pregnant?” Papa asked making sure his hearing wasn't wrong, Shien simply nodded his head listlessly in response.

“Yes good if that's it. We should all be grateful at last you and Sky are given the same trust God to have children.” Mama with a glowing face. So even with Papa who immediately developed a happy smile.

“Kok nice, anyway, Ma?” Shien Protest. Not about her who was pregnant, but aimed at the Sky that had impregnated her. Pregnancy without prior agreement.

“Lho, how come you're not that happy?” Mama asked in surprise, also a little upset because Shien was impressed not to be grateful for the gift God had given him.

“But the Sky pregnant me.”

Mama and Papa frowned deeply again. Failed to digest Shien's words. What is wrong if a husband impregnates his own wife?

“Ya should have been. That's not a bad thing either. You have married Heaven, if not married continue to be pregnant, then the name is not good. Kayak at that time you were the same Sky uwuw-uwuw before marriage, it was not good.” Mama said at the end of her sentence. Shien rolled his eyes lazily, why is Mama still convinced that he and Sky had a forbidden relationship before marriage? But, right, the truth is not like that. Ck, suck.

While Papa was just speechless watching his son and wife having a small argument. Although what they were talking about was a little frontal, Papa was happy because the dining room is usually very quiet is much warmer.

“How old are you? Don't you get pregnant out of wedlock again.” Ask Mama who came back with bad thoughts.

“No, Ma. I told you I never kempul kebo same sky.” Sahut Shien mendelik. I was tired of explaining it to Mama and Papa.

“Dihh, don't trust Mama.” Mom with a look of disbelief.

“Serah.” Said Shien lazily.

“How many months?” Ask Mama again.

“Say testpack seven to eight weeks.”

Mama nodded, then began to think, comparing Shien's marriage age and gestational age, her fingers folded one by one, her mouth appearing kamit. A moment later, she breathed a sigh of relief while stroking her chest due to Shien's gestational age two weeks further after her wedding. After all, getting pregnant out of wedlock has never happened in her family history.

“Udah I said you guys misunderstood that time.” Shien reiterated. But it seems like Mama still does not believe it, as well as Papa who is silent.

“But you better go to the Doctor this out for surein age same condition of your womb.” Mama said no heed to Shien's words.

“Hmm.” Sahut Shien ogah-ogahan while raking scrambled egg from Mama's plate. It was cold, but it still felt good in Shien's mouth. Maybe because he's hungry, he hasn't had breakfast.

“You why don't you look so happy, Shi?” Ask Papa wonder.

Swallowing the scrambled egg chew inside his mouth, Shien let out a slow sigh before then replying. “Actually I am not ready to have children. . .”

Shien then frankly told his parents about the contraceptive pill and the reasons for his unpreparedness to have children. Until finally, Shien complained to his parents about Sky somehow replacing the contraceptive pill with vitamins to increase appetite so that he got pregnant.

All this time Shien was amazed why Sky did not mind him taking the contraceptive pill, even though Heaven really wanted a child. Turns out this is the reason. The sky was not worried and did not protest because all Shien had consumed was vitamins.

However, Papa who heard Shien's story instead chuckled softly while shaking his head. Feeling anxious with her son-in-law. But he will not scold him, instead Papa will give praise to him because what he does is not a bad thing. Because if that doesn't happen, maybe until now he won't get the grandson he coveted. During this time Papa was overwhelmed with envy because every time he got together with colleagues his age, they sometimes discussed grandchildren, and only he who did not have them.

“So you're upset with Sky because of that?” Ask Mama who is also laughing. Shien simply nodded lazily.

“I'm scared, Ma. I'm not ready.” Shien's countenance turned sad, he threw his gaze at the scrambled egg before him. “I'm afraid something happened same child a–”

“Shien. . .” Sela Mama gently touched the child's shoulder to make Shien lift his face. “Dengerin Mom, Son.” Then cupped both sides of Shien's face. “Your son must be fine. Nothing will happen, she must have been born healthy and normal.” Mom relax.

“You know why?” Mama asked with a smile as she fixedly stared at Shien's clear eyeball. Next to his hand then moved down to gently touch Shien's stomach which was still flat. “Because she has a strong Mama.” He said, then looked back at Shien. “Because of you Mama, she will be fine aja.” Mama's picking at the tip of Shien's nose.

“Do not worry about anything, dear.” Add Mama while stroking the side of Shien's face.

“True to say your Mama. Don't worry about anything.” Papa chiming. “Rather than thinking badly, it is better to pray well. Don't precede destiny, Shi. God doesn't like that.” Papa's advice sounds wise.

Shien fell silent as he continued to repeat Papa's words to resuscitate himself. What Papa said was almost the same as what Heaven had told him. It is true that bad thoughts keep him locked up in fear.

“You must also think of the feeling of Heaven. He did this because he really wanted a child from you. Papa hope, you can understand him.” Papa said then while shuffling Shien's hair.

********

Meanwhile, Sky is on his way to his father-in-law's house to catch up with Shien according to the information he can forcibly from Pak Bayu. The man had been unable to dampen his smile ever since he realized the testpack result that Shien had thrown at him a moment ago. In addition, he also did not stop giving thanks to God for giving her and Shien trust to have offspring.

The sky felt an overwhelming happiness in his heart even though he still had to face Shien's annoyance which was angry because of something he did. He still owes the girl an explanation. About him who has worked with Obstetrician Shien and asked him to provide vitamins that are safe even though consumed in a state of pregnancy instead of contraceptive pills. Though, previously he had intended to be frank, but fate preceded him. God chose Shien to know it early.

At first, she did this because she did not know the reason Shien was so eager to delay her pregnancy. And after knowing the real reason, the Sky felt a little guilty. Just a little because his desire to have a child from Shien was greater. He must have a child from the girl so that their relationship is stronger. So, Sky would accept the consequences even though Shien was furious at him at the moment.

Arriving there, the sky immediately got down from the car and rushed into the house. Not directly up to Shien's room, Sky chose to meet his in-laws first who were relaxing in the backyard.

“Langit.” Papa who was sitting relaxing in the gazebo immediately put the newspaper he was reading as soon as he saw the arrival of the Sky, as well as Mama also stopped her activities of arranging flowers.

“Ma, Pa. . .” The sky approached and immediately hugged Mama and Papa alternately.

“Susulin Shien?” Ask Mama who understands the meaning of the arrival of the Sky.

“Iya, Mother. He's angry with me.” The sky sizzled while sitting himself in front of Papa and Mama.

“Yes anyways you are so nosy to be a person. Contraceptive pills replaced vitamin.” Omel Mom. The sky only stiffened while scratching his nape that did not itch. “But Shiennya is also easily fooled, yes, to the point of not being aware during this time he drank what.” Mama then giggled amusedly considering the stupidity of her daughter.

“Shien's food has been eaten a lot since your marriage, uh it turns out that they are choked with appetite-boosting vitamins every day. Haha.” Papa was laughing.

“Mama equals Papa not angry?” Ask Sky carefully, considering he had already upset their son.

“Why angry? Precisely we are happy because you have succeeded in loving us grandchildren.” Papa's Law is directly approved by Mama.

“Congratulations, Lang, soon you will be Father.” Said Papa while patting the shoulder arm of Sky proudly.

“Still, Pa.” The sky smiled warmly.

“Mama hope, you can pay more attention to Shien. She needs the support of all of us, especially you to face her fears and during her later pregnancy.” Said Mama. The sky just nodded its head in a sign of understanding. “Mama also asks you to be more patient. If at any time Shien asks for something strange or acts annoying, please do not be angry with him.”

Lagit nodded back. “Iya, Mother. I understand.”

Mama smiled as she gently rubbed the arm of Sky's shoulder. “Yes, now you take Shien to the room. Don't forget that you took him to the doctor to check his content.”

“Iya, Ma.” Speak Sky for a moment and go to Shien's room.

********

“Shi. . .”

The sky was greeted with pillows and bolsters that floated as soon as he opened the door of Shien's room. He approached the wife who was sitting on the bed while giving a sharp look at him. His hands did not stop throwing anything on the bed, including his favorite stuffed fruits.

“Udah, Shi. If you keep getting angry, pity his dedenya.” Persuade the Sky while dispelling the throw of objects that approach him using both hands.

Hearing that, Shien instantly stopped his act of throwing things. He then leaned his back on the head of the bed while adjusting his irregular breathing. But before that he took the time to smash the face of Heaven with a banana doll once again.

After seeing Shien calm enough, Sky then crawled up onto the bed and sat down beside Shien.

“Sorry to me, Shi. I have no intention of hiding this from you. . .” The sky grasped Shien's one hand, lucky that the girl did not move defensively, only still reluctant to look at him. “I'm just late telling you.” The sound of the sky squeaked a little.

“You are very satisfied, yes.” Said Shien who was now turning towards him with a frowning face. “But I only asked for a minute with you, but I didn't think you even did this. You should be honest at that time if you do not agree I use contraception.”

“Iya sorry, honey, I didn't want to fuss with you back then.” Said the Sky while gently rubbing the back of Sien's hand. “I don't know why you were pregnant at that time, and I deliberately asked Doctor Alice to give you vitamins. Because I think, if you're already pregnant, you don't want to be sure to accept it.”

Shien snorted softly, then again threw his gaze away from the Sky.

For a moment they were silent, Heaven looked at the wife who was unwilling to look and talk to her.

“Ya if that's what you want?” The sky released Shien's hand from his hand. “You don't want to accept her presence because you're afraid and continue to drown in the shadows of your bad thoughts, huh? How do you want?” Ask Sky disappointed. He exhaled, then exhaled violently before then returning to the test. “You want to gugu–”

“I'm not that crazy, Lang.” Sambar Shien was quick and stared at the dislike Sky.

“Yes why do you get angry with me and like not like your pregnancy?” Sahut Langit upset, but still keep his tone so as not to sound snapping.

“That's because I'm kelp with you. You are not honest with me. How if for example we are late to know the existence of him in my stomach, something continues to happen because I eat wrong or do activities that can harm him?” Shien replied no less annoyed, his eyes were already glazed so badly.

While the sky was silent. “Ja-so, you're mad at me not because you're pregnant?”

“I can't possibly accept the whereabouts of my son, Lang.”

The sky smiled with relief. He thought, Shien would stick to his unpreparedness. But it turns out the assumption was wrong.

“That's right it's our son.” The sky pulls Shien's body into his arms, but the girl is in a fight.

“Ihh, what the hell is a hug? I've been there far, I'm still sprained by you.” Dumel Shien was annoyed as he tried to break free from the embrace of Heaven.

“Ihh, people I want to hug dede, not his mother.” Ledek Langit increasingly tightened his embrace.

“But his father ngeselin, he said he did not want to deket-deket, it's already there.” Shien managed to push Sky's body to fall on the mattress, then in a hurry he laid his own body and covered it with a blanket.

“Go there.” Dismissed Shien, his voice muffled under the blanket that covered his entire body.

The sky looking at Shien's childish behavior only smiled amusedly, then he pulled the blanket that covered Shien's body, grabbed him, then joined in and quickly grabbed the wife's body from behind.

“You why are you still here? Hugs again. I said go.” Shien protested while wriggling his body to escape the Sky. But her husband did not heed her and instead clutched her tighter.

Shien felt his nape bristling as a breath of warm Sky pierced his skin there.

“Please me.” Pinta Shien while slowly hitting Sky's hand.

“Mot.” Sahut Langit while grinning his face at the intersection of Shien's neck. He whispered. “I heard, dede would like to see her Papa.”

“Ya?” Shien blinked not understanding. “Ahh, Sky.” Shien screeched as soon as Sky's swift hand movement had already taken down the lacy black cloth he was wearing down there.
