THE BABY MY HUSBAND BROUGHT

Chapter 1

"Whose baby is this, Bang?" then I looked at the woman next to him. "Whose baby, Ma?" I asked when I opened the front door. My mother-in-law came with my husband from his hometown.

I saw Mama holding a baby in a sling.

Bang Rian looked at Mama for a moment as if asking for approval. "This is my cousin's baby, Dek." Bang Rian replied briefly.

"Then I stopped by Mama's house after I got home."

Two days ago it happened that Bang Rian was in service in Bandung, his hometown.

"Cousin? Which one?" manya curious.

"Come, have a chat inside, Va. This baby girl also needs to rest after a long trip by car." 

True too, even I forgot to crucify the back of the hand of husband and mother-in-law because it was so shocked. Immediately I did that and walked ahead of them into the living room and dropped weights on the soft sofa in this refrigerated room.

"Sepupu Rian in the village just died yesterday, Va. Mama took the initiative so that you just take care of it," explained Mama still holding a tiny baby about a month or two.

"You have no children either."

I'll take a look at Bang Rian. He didn't dare look at me. I became suspicious. Is this really his cousin's son? Or maybe his mistress's son? Aah ... think what I am.

"Where is this boy's father, Ma?" ask Mama. Bang Rian was silent from now on.

"So TKI, it has not been home for five months" replied Mama.

The baby in my mom's arms suddenly cries. "Maybe she's thirsty, Ri." Mama took off her rag. The baby was crying while thrashing.

"Relax, Papa make milk, yes," said Bang Rian as he ran to the kitchen with a bottle of milk and a can of baby milk that he took from his suitcase.

I followed Bang Rian's steps backwards. Very deft of him. As if I was used to it. Bang Rian boiled a bottle of milk then poured the milk powder with a spoon of the notch.

"Where can you learn, Bang?" I finally asked him that question too.

Bang Rian slightly flinched. He's been misbehaving.

"Ehm .. at Mama's, Dek. Yesterday I was taught by my mother."

Bang Rian nodded. He preceded me walking back into the living room.

This time Bang Rian took over the baby and carried it with one hand deftly, I don't know what his name is yet. One more hand held the milk bottle and drank it to the baby.

"Kings. His name is King." My mom smiled at me, as if she knew my heart. I just wanted to ask her name.

I sat on the sofa watching Bang Rian stand up and cuddle the baby King with his ease. He seems to be very happy with his new toy.

My net suddenly warmed up and fogged up. Pain in the chest. Three years of marriage, but I haven't been able to give birth. While Bang Rian is the only child of the wayang mama. Mama must have missed the presence of a granddaughter.

"Why didn't you tell me first, Bang? If you want to take care of your cousin's son?" my many. I'm not ready to see everything, it's too sudden for me.

"You're not pregnant yet. Think of adopting this King as a lure. This child is a boy, if marriage is not important to find a guardian," replied mama flat.

Bebedrapa by the time, the King had already fallen asleep back in Bang Rian's cradle.

"Have you seen the doctor, not yet?" ask Mama.

I'm shaking. I thought it wasn't necessary to see a doctor.

"Your relationship must be problematic" said Mama again with an attitude of indifference.

"Mama Nyesel has married Rian to your barren rich woman."

"Ma .. see a doctor not yet. Do you know where I'm barren and troubled?" I asked back.

"Color Rian su--" Mama's speech paused.

"Ssttt ... don't fuss." slowly and carefully Bang Rian spoke while sticking his index finger in his mouth. "The king just slept."

"Bang Rian su-what, Ma?" manya curious. I didn't care what Bang Rian said just now.
