THE BABY MY HUSBAND BROUGHT
DNA test

"I want you to point out where the Citra's tomb is, Bang!" I asked when we came home from Leha's house.

Bang Rian seemed to be surprised by my words just now.

"It ... ehmm ... anu ...."

"What anu?" My eyes are staring at him.

"That's Deck, that means far away from the tomb."

"Show me, Bang. I want to see Citra's tomb."

"There's a hill in the family cemetery. The road is small just a footpath, can not be passed by a vehicle, Dek."

I breathed a rough breath. I saw the watch in hand already showing at four in the afternoon. It seems that it is not enough to catch up with the remaining two hours, the sun will return to its contest in the western horizon. My intention to see Citra's tomb finally stopped me.

"Next time I promise to show you the tomb."

I am struggling with circumstances that are not on my side.

"Let's go back to Jakarta. I have to get back to work tomorrow." Bang Rian took my hand towards the car park.

***

I just kept quiet while looking at the view from the side window of the car. My feelings are mixed. There was a sense of annoyance, curiosity, also sadness mixed into one.

The Bang Rian sedan car drove at high speed through the Cipularang Toll expressway back to Jakarta.

On a whim, I counted the car my husband had overtaken. One, two, three, until it was not felt now had overtaken one hundred and fourteen cars.

"Why, why, just shut up?" bang Rian's voice broke the silence and melted my count towards the car I had calculated earlier.

"Do you suspect that the King is my son?" Bang Rian smiled inexorably.

"Obviously yes" I replied. Which wife is not suspicious of the behavior of husband and mother-in-law who suddenly like that.

"Believed brother, the King was Citra's son and her husband."

"Then I want proof."

"What evidence? Is today's evidence not enough?" Bang Rian began to look upset as I glanced from the tail of my eyes.

"Dna test! That's the only way to prove it now!" I cried out loud.

Bang Rian turned his head towards me while widening his eyes. It would be a fool if I would receive a curse from my husband and mother-in-law. I'm not afraid of them as long as I'm sure I'm on the right path.

It's been a week since my request for a DNA test, but my husband has always been looking for a gap to avoid it. It was so furious that I felt.

I had to find a way to do it without my husband's knowledge. I took the phone to find out what information could be used as a sample of the test in addition to blood, also hair. Because the King's head has been bald, it is difficult and pity if you have to pluck his hair.

Suddenly the king woke up and cried. I had to stop my activity exploring Mbah Google.

I took her and took her to the kitchen to make formula.

That strange murmur came back as my eyes clashed against each other with her clear brown bead of eyes. The King's mouth excitedly sucked the milk from the bottle I was holding in an instant instantly.

I think I've fallen in love with this baby. A week later, I began to recognize his rhythm. This child will only cry when thirsty or diapers full of pee or pupnya. It can be said this child is a sweet and not fussy child actually.

I stick the King's face. As I watched was the shape of his face revealed by Bang Rian. His eyes, nose, or lips were nothing like Bang Rian. But people say the baby's face can change.

Damnit damnit!! I was thinking about this crazy thing.

My job at the boutique was ruined because my time ran out to think about the origins of the King during the week. 

***

Dinner food was served on the dinner table. Bi Ijah-assistant in this house had arranged it before he left home. His house was close so he didn't stay here. Tomorrow morning he's back.

Me, Mama, and Bang Rian were already sitting down and preparing to eat. I'll get some rice to my husband's plate and the side dish. Then take turns putting it on my plate.

Just wanted to bribe a spoon into the mouth. The king was crying in the room.

The three of us looked at each other. Relying on each other to silence and carry him.

"Reva, the king's manhunt!" mom's orders.

"Reva ...." This time, my mother's voice went up.

"I'm not the King's mother, Ma. It would be wrong to bring the child here without my permission first" I protested to Mama. Let him taste!

"Mama doesn't need to ask for your permission. The head of the household is Rian not you. You son-in-law-"

"What's the son-in-law, Ma, you mean Mama? Mandul, so?" I cut the conversation off before he finished it. I challenged him with the sharp look in my eyes, I could not be trampled down at will, just because I had to be respectful with the nickname 'second' pinned on him.

"It's ... already ...." Bang Rian is trying to mediate our conversation.

"From yesterday I was challenging for a DNA test, let's do it, Bang!" I cried to my husband.

"okay ...."

"Tomorrow!" my reply.

"No way, wait for him to get a little big, Dek. Pity to have his blood drawn, he's still a little boy."

Again, again, and again my husband reasoned. Just see what I'm gonna do. I'll do it alone.

"You now or next year, the truth will be bright, Bang!"

Actually I feel sorry and pity for the cry of that innocent little creature, but I had to put that feeling aside in the meantime. If the King is Bang Rian's son, I will drive them all out of my house.

Finally Bang Rian relented or avoided me, I don't know. He got up from his seat and rushed to the room to hold the King.

***

"It's Bang, the coffee" I said as he was sitting on his bed, surfing the Internet with his phone.

"Thank you, yeah." He didn't even have time to look me in the face when he took the coffee from the tray I was holding. Apparently very suspicious, his attitude is very suspicious. Perhaps in his cell phone there was a secret about the King or his mistress that he had hidden.

Five minutes passed, Bang Rian immediately fell asleep. The sleeping pills I mixed reacted to immediately, I had to move quickly.

I carefully put on the gloves and took out the nail clippers I had sterilized earlier.

I took a sample of Bang Rian's fingernails and a sample of King's nails in a small, separate white envelope and gave it a name.

Tomorrow morning I'll stop by the lab before coming to my boutique.

I finally found this answer. Don't try messing with Reva ....

***

"Reva, where are you going?" mama asked when she saw me was tidy and tote my expensive bag in this sunny morning. Bang Rian had already left first. Intentionally I was not with him to be more free.

"To the boutique," I replied flatly.

"Lho, whose king will you be? Do you want to avoid Mama and Raja? Huh uh?"

I smiled at Mama. "I've had a boutique business for a long time, Ma. Even from before I met Bang Rian. Last week I was off and helped a lot of Mama take care of the King."

"Then rent a baby sitter for the King."

"Whatever. I'm saying goodbye, Ma. Assalamualaikum," I kiss takdzim back of my hand. Then glanced at the King who had just fallen asleep in the sling of mama. I would love to smell this child with the smell of a typical baby. But I did not do it. I walk to the parking lot and drive my car.

***

I drove the car to the lab to match the samples I brought. My heart was beating waiting for the result. Scuffling, fear, worry, sadness, all the flavors mixed into one in this waiting room.

"Mother Reva," called a woman, I immediately approached her.

"How, Ma'am? the DNA test results?" I asked one of the lab employees who just called me.

The young lady smiled at me and said, "The result----
