“Take a good care of your two Mommies and the baby inside Mama Girl’s belly, okay? (Keep your two mothers and the baby in Mama Girl's belly, okay? )"
“Sure I will (Of course I will keep them ), Papa!.. Without you ask me that, I will always take a good care of them while you’re not around ( Without Papa asking me that, I will take care of them when Papa is not here )”
“Well, how proud I am to you, then (Well, how proud I am of you, then ).”
“Of course you have to (Of course Papa should be proud of me ).”
---
“By the way, Papa –“
“Yes, Anth?”
“Why you, Daddy Dami and Padre don’t use the plane that we used when we’ here for the first time (Why Papa, why Papa, Daddy Dami and Padre didn't use the plane we used when we first came here )?”
“It only used for something very urgent (It will only be used for something very urgent ), Anth.”
“I see (Oh like that )”
“Is there anything that you want to ask ( Anything else you want to ask )? –“
“No, Papa.”
“Alright then.”

“Then, I leave now yes Girl? –“
“Iya. Beware –“
“Pasti –“
“If possible, when you arrive in the UK later, directly contact me huh?”
“Iya my wife dear.”
****
Republic of Indonesia,
‘This silk.’ The girl who is beating. ‘Connecting me only once.’
The girl also grumbled a little.
‘Didn't he think if I miss him?.Even my misses are many times now because of our son.’
Still grumbling, when only a few hours ago he spoke to Son on the phone.
‘Basic Papa Putra is insensitive!’
Then the girl sighed with a little weight.
‘Eh but we can't be like this huh, son?’
The girl then slightly lowered her head and smiled while stroking her stomach.
‘Papa Putra is finishing his business? And it concerns our future and our happiness as well. We better pray that Papa Putra will come home soon here in good condition.’
****
“Girls –“
“Eh, Bru.”
“Feeling nauseous ( Feeling nauseous )?.”
Bruna who came to the place where the girl who was sitting alone in the backyard of their villa asked as she took a seat near the Girl.
“Just a little bit. But only this morning (Just a little bit. But only this morning )” replied Girl. “And not long.”
Bruna who already understood Indonesian for her who quickly learned the variety nodded her head after hearing one sentence Girl who used the language.
****
“Because I’m sure, that Putra is. a. the one... who feel... feel ( Because I am sure, if the Son who... who. felt ).”.
The girl then spoke stammeringly to Bruna.
‘So the nausea that Bruna said it is what is English?.’
The girl monologued in her heart then.
Although she is quite understanding of English, but the understanding of Girls is limited to standard words that are commonly used everyday, even if it is not a long speech.
****
‘Ck. I'll have to learn more English in more detail when Son comes back. Bruna and others sometimes mention words that even I have never heard before.’
The girl who was still monologuing in her heart, with a slightly raised face. And it didn't go unnoticed by Bruna. Until one of the Son's sisters smelled his gel smile at the girl's expression.
“Nauseous ( Nausea )”
Bruna then made a sound.
“That word that you want to say right (That word you want to say is not )?.”
Afterwards Bruna looked at the girl with a smile.
Then the girl was a bit misbehaved.
****
“I really need to study English more and more, because there are so much difficult words that you and the others usually use (I have to be more active in learning English, because there are so many difficult words that you and others often use ).” complained Girl.
Bruna smiled again.
“Don’t you think about that (No need you think about it ), Girl”
“But I will look stupid if I don’t know that difficult words and I will make all of you feel ashame (But I will look stupid if I do not know those difficult words and I'll make you guys feel ashamed )”
****
“Never think like that (Never think like that ), Girl –“
“But –“
“Son will be upset if he hear that.”
(The son will be upset if he hears it )
Bruna is back.
Reminds the Girl of one of the nature of the Son.
“You know that Son hates if you humbled yourself (You know Son hates if you humble yourself ).”
The girl then sighed a little heavily, and nodded later.
Bruna stroking Girl's arm.
“We proud, beside very happy to have you in this family (We are proud, besides happy to have you in this family ), Girl.”
Bruna said softly. And the girl smiled just as gently at Bruna.
“Thank you, Bruna.”
“Don’t mention it (No need to thank so )”
Bruna responded to the girl's thanks to her.
“I say thank you, because all of you want to accept me in this family (I thank you, because you all want to accept me in this family ).”
“How can we don’t accept a beautiful and kind woman like you, who also sincere (How do we not accept women as beautiful and as good as you, who are also sincere ), Girl?.”
“Iiiihhh..” said the girl who then seemed a bit blushed because of Bruna's sentence in the form of praise. “You make me fly (You make me fly only), Bruna,” added Girl. And Bruna chuckled small.
“However, Girl.“ says Bruna after she chuckles.
“Iya, Bru?.”
“Me and Garret are about to go to see some of gardens this noon. And from what I heard, that place is quite far from here (Garret and I will go to see some of the plantations by late afternoon. And from what I heard the place is a bit far from here ) –“
“May I go too (I can join also not )?” hatch Girl.
Bruna gave a smile.
“I just about to ask you if you want to go with us (I just wanted to ask if you want to come with us )”
Then the girl showed her grin, feeling a little bad for interrupting Bruna's amused smile at the girl's grin by apologizing for cutting Bruna's speech.
“I come chatty since pregnant (I've been chatty since I got pregnant )”
The self-conscious girl.
“The baby’s father is chatty remember (The baby's father is indeed chatty right )?”
Bruna chimed in on Girl's speech, where they then talked about the Son afterwards.
‘Ah I so miss Son again, right?.’
The girl then nodded her head, then sighed like she was feeling tired.
“Missing him, hem (Missing him yes )?”
Bruna who saw the change in the face of the girl who became somewhat saddened said with her guess.
The girl nodded innocently, and Bruna smiled again.
Then stroked the shoulder of the girl then. “Beside become more chatty, you become more emotional (In addition to being more chatty, you also become easily carried away feeling ), hm?..” said Bruna then because of seeing the eyes of the Girl who was also somewhat teary.
“I am.”
The girl replied while nodding innocently once again.
“Don’t worry, he’ll be home soon (Don't worry, he will be home soon ).”
The girl then nodded after hearing Bruna's words that seemed confident in what she said.
“In a good condition (In a fine state ).” Bruna said again. “Trust me..”
Once again the girl nodded in agreement with Bruna's words. With his heart that was relieved because he believed the words of Bruna, who certainly knew very well the ability of one of his adopted brothers in taking care of himself.

“Bru,” call Girl on Bruna who sits with her in the back passenger seat of the car, when they are with Garret and Anthony will go to a place that is plantation-like Bruna had told the Girl a few hours earlier.
“Yes?.” respond Bruna.
“Plantation--eum, gardens, I mean –“
“Talk to Bahasa Indonesia, Girl.”
Garret who snatched to talk that, when the girl rectified her speech in Indonesian.
“I quite understand (I understand enough ), just not fluent to get used to using it.”
Garret who was sitting in the front passenger seat with Anthony connected her sentence. She has been studying Indonesian lately.
Then on the basis that he was quick to learn if it was about a one-nation language, Garret did not meet significant difficulties. Until he has been able to speak Indonesian, although sometimes still laid out.
“Bru also more understand about your language now. And if there are some words that she doesn’t understand, I’ll explain to her (Bru also already better understand about your language now. And if there's some that he doesn't understand, I'll explain to him ).”
The girl also said that Garret said that.
****
“What did you want to say before then?”
(What did you want to say earlier? )
Bruna then raised her voice after Garret finished saying.
“No Bru, I just want to ask,” said Girl. “The area of the plantation you said it was, in which area?”
The girl asked later.
“Ala something?.”
Bruna answered while slipping her shoulder.
“Alamenlow? –“
“Ah yes! It is! Right, Gar?”
Bruna asked Garret for more reassurance.
“Yes it is (Yes true )” respond Garret.
“You know that area (You know that area )?.” Bruna turned back to the girl.
The girl nodded slowly.
“That.. my village (That.my village ) ..”
The girl answered Bruna's question in a somewhat faint voice.
With fear slipping through his heart. ‘What if I meet my Mom and stepbrother?.’
