"Who's Ma?" ask Rahman.


"Ga know a new number, what a prankster yes," Hamida said.


"Thank you Ma, it might be important" said Arya.


Hamida then pulled the green button on the screen of his phone then turned on the loud speaker for everyone to hear.


"Halo Assalamualaikum" said Hamida.


"Vaalaikumussalam...Tut Tut Tut Tut." The phone connection was cut off.


"That's breaking up, prankster, don't know what we're waiting for" Hamida said.


"Drrrt...drrrtt.." Hamida's phone vibrated again because there was an incoming call.


"Who's Ma?" ask Arya.


"That number was.." said Hamida.


"Let papa do the talking" Rahman said, then swiped the green button on Hamida's phone screen and turned on the loud speaker again.

"Yes Ma, mama accompanied Najma, must be sad for her, I slept in the guest room only," said Rahman.


"Well," said Hamida then went up to Najma's room, sleeping there with her daughter-in-law.

In the morning Najma's eyes unceasingly stared at his phone, occasionally checking the rectangular flat object, whether there was a new message, he was restless since Hamida told him all the events last night, how could she lose contact with her husband. Of course there is a feeling of relief and very grateful because Ardi is still healthy and survived because he escaped the plane crash.


"Ama, eat first... Bu Ani has prepared breakfast," said Hamida disperse the reverie Najma.


"Yes Ma," he said, in fact he was reluctant to eat breakfast before getting news again from Ardi, but did not want to argue his mother-in-law, he also remembered there was a fetus in his stomach that needed to eat, he also remembered, there is Akbar that he must take care of. That longing she felt, somehow felt a very long time running on her.


He went from the living room to the dining table, where Rahman and Hamida were already there. Hamida took a small portion for Najma and placed the plate in front of Najma.


"Eat baby, let it be fresh, so Ardi does not worry see you later" said Hamida.


"Okay Ma" said Najma, then smiled. They are not in-laws, but like their own parents.


"Spend, if not more," said Hamida.


"Eating a lot, this is also drinking milk, papa who makes," said Rahman.


"Yes Ma Pa, thank you, Mom and Dad aren't at the office?" najma asked while chewing her food.


"Papa later to the office, there is an online meeting with all the store managers, Mama let here accompany you," said Rahman.


"Where did Ardi call you last night?" ask Najma.


"Use the number of Ivory doctor friend Ardi when resident, Mama knows kok, used to play at home" said Hamida. Najma nodded at Hamida's response.


'Gading.. like no stranger to the name, do you ever know yes, but where.' inner Najma.


"Do you know the Ivory Doctor?" hamida asked as if she knew what Najma was thinking.


"Ah not Ma, never knew there was a friend of Ardi mas whose name is Ivory doctor," said Najma.


"Drrrt... drrrt.." Najma's phone vibrated. He looked directly at the screen, Ardi's number asking for a video call.


"Mas Ardi Ma's... Pa..."


"Thank you dong Ama" said Rahman.


"Ah yes," Najma immediately fixed her headscarf, rubbing her swollen and tired face.


"Assalamualaikum Mas" said Najma.


"Waalaikumussalam," said the man in the call.


Najma was surprised to see the man, and immediately covered her mouth and nose covering her face as she was not wearing a veil.


"Who are you?"
