''Do we have to go to the doctor?''
''No, Mas. Thank you, I .. just exhausted.''
Akram knows that his wife just makes tired as an excuse. He rushes to make hot chocolate for Sraya and returns to the room.
''Drink it, Brother. This chocolate will make you much calmer.''
''Makasi, Mas.''
''Hmm the man who was last afternoon you accidentally hit while in the mall, and who came to the event mister Willem. Do you know him?''
Sraya stopped drinking hot chocolate made by her husband. Akram does not yet know that the man is Maxwell, the man who became a source of suffering for Nastiti.
Intentionally Sraya has not told Akram, Sraya remembered the words of her husband while in the hospital.
Akram will do anything for nastiti, even lives Akram will give to take care of Nastiti.
Sraya did not want to take any further risks, especially nastiti herself did not mention Maxwell's name in her letter. Sraya assumed that Akram's sister had her own reasons.
''All I know is that the man is a businessman, Mas. The rest I don't know directly.''
Akram just nodded and asked Sraya to finish his drink.
''Oh yes, my. Have you heard the same news, Mas sir? Did you know we were married?''
''Hm not yet reported, maybe tomorrow because it's night.''
Akram breaks his body beside baby Sagara and pulls a blanket for the three of them, clasped his tiny hand Sagara and he ciumi.
''Daddy's son is very handsome, you are in good health, son. According to what Mother Sraya said, we will wait for Nastiti's mother until she comes home.''
Sraya whose soft heart immediately shed tears.
''Why crying?''
Akram wiped Sraya's tears with his hands, the girl's heart warmed. Seeing no rejection from Sraya, Akram slowly stroked Sraya's cheek.
''I thought about Sagara, Mas. I'm afraid I can't be a good mother to Sagara.''
''Mas already saw how you love Sagara, Mas sure you will be a good mother for Sagara. It's just that you have to be a little tough to protect the people you care about.''
''I look weak?''
Baby Sagara wriggled about to cry, Sraya slowly lifted Sagara and leaned on the head of the bed.
Akram gives a pillow on Sraya's back to make it more comfortable. And lean in.
''You are not weak, just too kind and too caring for the feelings of others. Be your husband, even if our marriage wasn't planned before. Try to share everything you feel with, Mas.''
Behind Akram's words he signals Sraya to tell what Sraya fears.
''Makasi, Mas. Maybe I'm not fully ready. But from now on Sraya will try to be more open and strong as said, Mas.''
''From now on we should call ourselves father and mother in Sagara.''
Akram stroked Sagara's head and kissed Sagara's cheeks, Sraya laughed when he heard Akram speak so.
''I did not expect to be a mother, the feeling yesterday I just intend to date a man close to me, Mas.''
The plain answer that escaped Sraya's lips, made Akram pouty and very anxious.
''Including chef Andrean?'' ask Akram curious.
''Me and Andrean are just coworkers, nothing more.''
''Then you should go on a date with Mas! Determine your intention to find another man, who knows other than being Sagara's mother. You can be the mother of our children.''
Sraya looked at her husband like a child sulking. They laugh together.
There was a lot they talked about that night. Including the decision of Sraya who intends to resign to keep baby Sagara completely.
''Please find out anything about that person and let me know immediately. Besides have you heard from Nastiti?''
''You will get word before twenty-four hours, sir, about Miss Nastiti. We are still conducting a search.''
Connecting someone from there, Akram looked at the atmosphere of Jakarta from his balcony terrace.
''I trust you all as always. Just try harder, I wait for news from you.''
''Thank you for the trust you gave me. I will try my best and will not disappoint you.''
Akram turned off his call. He stared hard and straightened his firm jaw.
In the middle of the night Sraya did not find her husband in the room, she rushed to find him.
On exiting the room he found Akram asleep on the sofa holding a macbook.
Sraya tries to wake her husband, before Akram awakens he has a glance at Akram's macbook. 'Report of a share' murmured Sraya inwardly.
''What time is this?'' ask Akram with his hoarse voice.
''It's two o'clock at night, Mas.''
''Sorry it looks like Mas overslept, Dik.''
''What is it, Mas. Work it?'' tanya Sraya was curious.
''Hmmm just a coffee sales report, let's go back to the room, '' Akram.
……………………
That morning in the village of Sukomukti Masayu eagerly prepared the reception of Akram and Sraya. All neighbors, relatives, and all workers in his garden were informed.
''Sorry kang mas if Masayu can only tell mas Tris about this, because the condition was very sudden.''
''Don't you think of me as your brother Masayu? This big news you just delivered. I also consider Akram as my son! Even the coffee plantation I entrusted him with.''
''Once again forgive us Tris. As soon as the mas reached Central Java, I will tell all of it to the kangmas.''
''You and Permana are so outrageous Masayu, Akram is married you didn't tell us! Akram I sent to Jakarta for business, not for you to marry.''
The phone disconnected just like that, it looked like Masayu was just sighing.
''Trisna angry?'' asked a middle-aged woman who was a bit fat, she was the first sister of Masayu named Rusnina.
While the one who called Masayu was his second brother named Trisna, or often Akram called as pakde.
''Yes, Mba. Mas Tris is angry with ayu.''
Masayu said with a frown, bude Rus stopped his activities that had been choosing batik cloth brought by a merchant, and signaled that the sword left them.
''It's only natural that Trisa is angry, she lost her future ghost, '' said flat bude Rus.
''But Tris only considers Akram as a child, how could Tris want to make a ghost, Mba?''
''We all know, Yu, that Akram is not your son. It's only natural that Tris wants to make her a ghost! But I am grateful that you have married Akram to another woman even though Mba has not known the girl directly.''
''I have always considered Akram as my biological son, Mba. There is no way I can tell Akram and Nastiti apart. Why are you grateful? I don't understand, Mba.''
Bude Rus stared intently at Masayu.
''Trisna is a good man. But not with Lita's second wife and their son Amel, Mba had previously disagreed with Trisa to marry the woman. See how now Lita managed to persuade Trisa to become her ex Akram!''
''Why, Mba. Talk like that?'' ask Masayu confused.
''You don't know how Amel Yu behaved, when the boy was studying in the city, my son Damar who often told Amel and. I myself have seen it firsthand, it's just that we chose to be quiet.''
''What kind of amel girl, Mba?''
''Later you know for yourself, which is clear I am grateful that Akram has been married.''
