"The girls."
Which made Ares hold his breath. Not what, he was just worried about what the future will be like. Having a daughter is like having an egg held all your life. It should not be too strong because the egg can break, it should not be too loose also because later the egg will fall.
Worried about a clear case. Like Cantika who was Ares DP first, or Athena who hurt her ex-boyfriend. Ares was afraid that his daughter would experience the same. Men's problems, Ares longed to say, "Don't date first. Focus on learning, career focus. There's no man in your life." But it seems like an impossible thing.
Cantika also felt the change of the husband when they were on the way home, why Ares more silent when before the man was very excited by this sex examination? “Ares, what's up? Why do you look sad?”
“Sad? No, honey, I'm holding back my own happiness,” dust while smiling like that. “How about we stop by some place? You want to eat something?”
Cantika wanted to take advantage of the situation by asking Ares for this, but it seemed that the figure was not exited at all. The fact that their baby girl seems to make Ares feel something else. So, Cantika shook her head and asked to go straight home.
Ares himself realized why the wife changed, he became not excited. So once inside the apartment, Ares instantly pulled her into a hug and said, “Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad.”
“You're a bitch, you make me sad by giving such a response. You don't want girls do you?” cantika asked beating Ares' chest repeatedly with a sobbing that accompanied.
“Sit for a while yes, your legs can ache.” Ares also placed Cantika on his lap with a slanted position so that their baby was not squeezed. Cantika's hand stretched out to circle around Ares' neck. The man rubbed the stomach of the wife, who was immediately responded by the child with a movement in there. Within a few months, they will become parents. “I'm worried about myself not being able to take care of our child later. You yourself know how girls are today. As for promiscuity, I'm afraid our son will be in the wrong neighborhood. Having that daughter, as if having gold on display in any place. I'm afraid of myself.”
Cantika was surprised by the confession, where was Ares who was always confident and haughty? Because there is, now only Ares who bowed his head rubbed his stomach. Making Cantika kiss the top of the man's head. “Stop thinking no no, we can be good parents. Our child will get an understanding later, he will be able to take care of himself.how could he get along carelessly when having parents like us? We are great people, we will educate them properly. Don't worry.”
Ares smiled, he hugged his wife and rested his head on the figure's chest. “Sorry yes for my attitude that pisses you off.”
“Nothing, reasonable worrying about the future. But, Ares, I think as long as we're together, we'll be fine.”
Right, Ares has to stop worrying. He has Cantika who will become a great figure later, who will educate his children.
“Tomorrow we stay at Grandma's house how? Our room has been renovated.”
“Sure, tomorrow after I work yes.”

Routines that Cantika really likes, wake up early and prepare the needs of the husband. Her smile does not fade, she likes to do work as a housewife. What about his dream as a pianist? Cantika always played it for her husband and family. After all, the goal of his ideals was to make a lot of money, and Cantika already had a lot of money now.
“Why are you awake?” ask Cantika wonder. Not usually at this hour Ares will open his eyes, if out of the room with a face that looks cute.
“Honey, my head hurts.”
“Foam?” cantika immediately approached and put his hand on the forehead of the husband. “No fever.”
“I'm sick, I didn't know my head felt pierced.”
“Then we go to the hospital?”
“Do not want, just want to be home with you yes.take care of me, later if I'm better, we go to Grandma's house.”
Cantika. “Do not force yourself if not strong. Sit here, don't go straight to sleep again.”
“Which way to?”
“Cleaning the bed first, after which you have breakfast and take medicine. Okay?”
Ares nodded letting Cantika into the room. After the figure entered, Ares changed his facial expression to normal again and immediately contacted Samuel. “Uhuk! I have a fever, I can't go to the office. Lu the handle yes.”
“Anjir ah, I'm the one who is giggling anyway.”
“Lu is my assistant. Watch out if you can't take a contract.”
“How to take a contract if you were previously caught thinking about the owner of the company like a watermelon, round the glowing bolat, you said so yes, Ar.”
“I've been joking at that time.anything Om nguping not very polite. Tell me it was a joke, right? anyway I'm handing it all the same to you. Bye.” He hung up the phone and lay down on the sofa as he walked out of the room.
“Ares do not lie down again, later dizzy. Ayok sit and breathe fresh air.”
Ares sat in accordance as the balcony door was shifted until fresh air came in. Cantika cooked faster for the husband who was now seen silently staring out the balcony door. Rarely does Ares say he is sick, usually the man will force to go to work no matter what.
Pyuttt! Ares farts which makes Cantika stop his movement for a moment, because he was used to it, Cantika rubbed his stomach to signal the child not to inherit the nature of his papa like that.
“Can you hear it?”
“What?”
“My fart voice is weak, indicating I am not okay.”
Cantika smiled flatly. “Yes, don't worry, you have the best doctor ever. Looks like it's because you're eating too much junk food. Eat it for today, we eat vegetables huh? from morning till next.”
Ares's eyes were instantly rounded. He can't if there's no meat, but if he refuses…. “If you don't want to, we go to the doctor to get medicine. So you have to choose, take your medicine or eat the healthy food I made.”
“But this won't last long right?”
“It should continue, but at least until you get well first.”
The vegetable menu that Cantika makes is always strange, really original without any additional flavoring. How can Ares enjoy it? It tastes bitter and strange. Where Cantika also asked Ares to eat the leaves as a snack.
Not surviving until lunch, Ares who was eating leaves as a snack watching TV was immediately said, “Cantika, I have healed.”

In the end, they went to Grandma's house as well in the afternoon. Where Grandma had prepared dinner for them. Because she had heard the news that Cantika's son was a girl, Grandma became more excited to cook. “Yeah, Grandma will have a female great-granddaughter,” he said welcoming the arrival of Ares and Cantika. “You plan to have many children right?”
“Grandma, this alone is not out.” Cantika scowled in annoyance. Fortunately, her first pregnancy was not troublesome at all, even seemed relaxed. Where Cantika's greatest desire is to be alone and make out with Ares, there is no drama of nausea and reluctance to eat. Everyone, Cantika eat. “Mana Papa?”
“There are inside.”
“Papa...,” call him with maanja and hug the figure.
“Don't be too tight, Papa grieves to see your stomach,” uca the figure looks down at the stomach of the child. “Stay here right?”
Fortunately, this place has been renovated Ares to be more comfortable. There is also a maid to help Grandma and her Papa. After the renovation, Ares also asked the worker to install a silencer in his room so he could do it yes if it was here.
“do you guys have scheduled the operation?”
Cantika answered with her spirit. “We decided to do it normally. Actually Cantika who wants to feel how a mother struggles, after all Cantika is healthy and the doctor says it is possible if you want to do it normally.”
When Cantika said it enthusiastically, in contrast to Ares who looked depressed, it seemed like the man was indeed reluctant to do it normally. Not ready to see how hurt his wife is.
“How about the babysitter?” grandma asked, she could help. But her old age, Grandma's not as fit as she used to be. “What's not, you're far from your parents. We both couldn't help. So, it is better to have one nanny.”
“Ares will take him from America,” the man said with passion. “Then, there was someone Mommy hired to babysit Alden, he was trusted to take care of small children.”
“Cantika agree?” ask the Grandma.
Where the figure nodded as the answer. “Cantika agrees, because it will definitely need more experienced people.”
“Oiya, Grandma also said that the Ares family will come to visit. When?”
“Not so.” Cantika answered him. “They are busy, Nek.”
“But don't trust completely.” Because Ares is experienced at being tricked by them, after all, they might miss Ares' birthday event. It may not be celebrated, but Ares wants to have dinner with his family.
If he was the one who left, it was not possible to remember the Grandmother was no longer strong on the plane, in contrast to Oma who was still gallant.
After dinner, Ares was invited to speak by his father-in-law. Of course this is a fun thing. Joining the Cantika family, Ares was cleared of his brain by their advice, so Ares' strange nature was sometimes stopped if given the advice given by Grandmother or Father-in-law.
“Then, Mama Cantika suffered once while giving birth normally. But he can get through it. Papa just asks, you accompany Cantika and do not fall first huh?”
Ares swallowed his saliva roughly, he actually did not agree to see the wife die like that. “I reluctantly allow it, but Cantika looks very enthusiastic.”
“Just appreciate the decision, Cantika must have thought about it carefully. Besides, the doctor said Cantika was healthy right?”
“Yes, she is very healthy.”
Talking about parenthood, her father Cantika advised Ares to have more than three children so as not to end up like a lonely Cantika.
“Papa-in-law don't worry, I can even make a child over 12, everything is ready.”
“Not only money, your mentality must be ready, where if you want to be alone with your wife, your child will interfere.”
Thinking that, Ares fell silent. The pregnancy of the wife alone attracted the attention of Cantika, especially if the children have a lot?
“It's okay, Pa, I'm used to being ignored Cantika. This five-year struggle became my training session like.”
***
The party was held in Ares' apartment, the 24th birthday party of the man. Now, he became the husband of Cantika, and it was the gift he dreamed of the most.
Ares said that his parents would definitely come, especially Cantika's stomach is getting bigger. Advice given at. Getting the chance to get together again, Ares approached Athena who was sitting alone there. “Why do you look agitated?”
“Nothing, I'm just happy to see my stupid twin brother finally find his companion.”
Ares chuckles and pulls Athena to lean on him, several times he kisses Athena's head. Even the younger brother had put his hands around his older waist. “Ares, are you happy?”
“Very happy to have the wife I dreamed of, the family gathered and the people around me who supported me. Most importantly, I can control my work. I turned out to be able to get what I wanted all this time.”
“Congratulations, I'm glad to hear it. After the cancer drama, you finally got what you really wanted.”
“Baaimana your life? I feel bad because I feel tight a few times. The cause is you're not?”
Athena chuckled, it's true the two of them are connected. Because of their close relationship, sometimes Athena felt what Ares felt, and vice versa. “What makes you nervous, Athena?”
“Future. I don't know if I can be a great doctor, or get a family too.”
“You're beautiful, you're good and great. You can get whatever you want if you keep trying without forgetting God.”
Athena puffed up, not believing Ares was more religious now. “You changed.”
“Ck, why is everyone saying it.” distract with the sentence. “How was your relationship with Samuel?”
“Do you think he's serious with me?”
“I don't know.”
“Use your feeling, Ares.”
Quiet for a moment before finally saying, “Try it, he's the one who can take responsibility for his words. Although sometimes he still looks at photos of Arin.”
“Well, I don't think it's possible for me to be with him. He's my best friend's ex-girlfriend, can't move on anymore.”
“Laki men are many, there are millions and one of them is your soul mate. Actually I did not expect Samuel to be your last port, I was lazy to be called Big Brother by him.”
Which made Athena laugh for a moment. He leaned his head on Ares' shoulder and hugged his twin brother's waist tighter. “You will be a father.”
“Sure, it would be terrible if I were a mother.”
“sucks.”
“I love you, Thea.”
“I love you too, Ares.”
And both of them just realized, if there is no human voice except the conversation of the two of them. Until Ares and Athena looked back, they were shocked to see the whole family gathering behind and listening to what they were talking about.
“That's sweet,” said Oma who was holding the camera.
