THE SECOND MARRIAGE
ARSYANENDRA GALA

"Tomorrow morning we leave for America, bang Riki is no business there. So we're coming along, get on a private plane." Sinta told Fadila and Dwi.

"Where will we stay?" Ask Fadila.

At this time the three had arrived at Dwi's parents' house and were preparing to sleep.

"In the apartment, bang Riki."

Fadila and Dwi nodded simultaneously.

"Dwi, can I ask you please?" Dwi and Sinta looked at Fadila curiously.

"What?" Ask Dwi.

"I'm going to sell the apartment." Fadila chose to sell the apartment.

"But why?" Ask Dwi and Sinta together.

"If that apartment I keep, it's the same as retaining the memories of Febri. Because I want to start a new life, so everything has to be new. Old memories must be cleaned, nothing left. We're gonna stay in America for a long time anyway."

Fadila explained all his intentions, the initial intention to defend the apartment. Now Fadila was gone when she remembered Febri's insults at the party.

"You want to sell those three apartments in Devan's company?" Tanya Dwi in Fadila.

"Yes, because tomorrow we go. It would be easier if the sale is the same people who can be trusted. She's your boyfriend, right?"

Dwi looked up at Fadila's words, the girl's ears were also slightly flushed.

"Son, we're not dating." Sangkal Dwi who even made Fadila and Sinta chuckle a little.

"Even, sleep." Dwi spread her body while covering herself with a blanket up to her head.

"Shame on meow him," said Sinta, who was taken by Fadila.

They fell asleep together in the same bed. All that they used to do when they were in college and Fadila was not married.

------

Morning ....

After getting ready with all their stuff. Now the three are escorted by Dwi driver to Devan company.

At 10am they arrived at the airport and headed straight for the waiting plane.

"Are you ready ladys?" Canda Riki is like a pilot who will fly a plane.

"Ready, Captain." They laughed together because of that simple joke.

Just a few minutes into the air, Fadila was already feeling airsick. The woman even almost vomited if she did not eat the pear that Dwi gave her.

The pear really made Fadila's stomach comfortable and feel cold. After eating some pears, Fadila was told to sleep in the room on the plane.

Of course Dwi and Sinta accompanied Fadila for fear of something happening to their friend again.

A few hours later, they arrived in America. The driver had picked them up to go to the hospital first, due to Fadila's weakened condition.

"How's Doctor?" Tanya Dwi and Sinta together.

The three of them were in the hospital, because Riki already had to go see someone.

(The conversation directly uses Indonesian, so it is easier to understand).

"My estimation is that the lady is pregnant. To be clear, take it to the obstetrician."

Dwi and Sinta were shocked to hear the Doctor's words in front of them.

"Doctors don't lie? Is our friend really pregnant?" Tanya Sinta convinced herself that what she heard earlier was not real.

"I can't lie, Miss. Please check with your obstetrician if you do not believe. Excuse me."

The doctor left Dwi and Sinta who immediately ran to meet Fadila.

The results are the same as what the doctor said before.

"I never thought I'd have a nephew. I'm an aunt now." Glad Sinta while raising both her hands happily.

"Shh!" Dwi reminded Sinta that their friend was silent.

Sinta noticed Fadila as well as Dwi.

Fadila remained silent after finding out that she was pregnant. Even the woman's right hand held her stomach and the left hand held the ultrasound.

"You ... Regretting his presence?" Ask Dwi slowly.

"He ... It's been 4 months. If you drop it, I don't think that's a good idea." Sinta held onto Fadila's shoulder and squeezed her slowly.

Fadila was still silent, it had been 4 months the presence of her fetus and she did not know it. Even Fadila did not realize that her stomach was bulging.

He thought that it was normal because Fadila who liked to eat and food also became more.

"Although he's Febri's son, he's innocent, Fa." Dwi tried to get Fadila to talk again.

"You're not gonna lose him, are you?" Ask Sinta.

Remembering last night Fadila said it would take away all the memories left of Febri. And that fetus is the only one left.

"Fa .." lirih Dwi and Sinta were saddened by Fadila's silence.

Fadila let out a long sigh while leaning her body on the back of the chair.

"You think I'm doing that long enough to kill my own son?" Dwi and Sinta breathed a sigh of relief at Fadila's words.

They were already afraid that Fadila would act recklessly.

"Trus now how?" Ask Sinta.

"I'm going to raise my own son. I'll do what's best for my son." Stick Fadila while rubbing her stomach dear.

Whatever the case with Febri, his son is innocent. So it's not appropriate to get punished just because of his father.

"Don't forget us" said Dwi.

"Yes, we're gonna raise this baby, too. Because we'll stay together from now on." Sinta was excited again and could voice her happiness.

"But come to think of it, because you're 4 months pregnant. That means your divorce with Febri is not yet religiously legal. Wait for your child to be born and your puerperium to be over, your divorce is legal."

Dwi says little she knows about divorce for women who are pregnant.

"So, what should we do now? Tell me about Febri? Or just leave it? What if one day Febri finds out she has a child with you and takes custody of this child?" Sinta who was sitting next to Fadila stroked her friend's stomach.

"You rest easy, he won't be able to take anything away from me. Because one of the letters she signed had the full rights to everything I got after the divorce. He won't be able to take anything I have after separation, in any form."

Fadila told her friends about one of the letters she had made.

"Then everything is safe, we're here too. Why else tell her, there you will be told to grab her husband in the baby mengeselin it again." Dwi looked at Fadila who was sitting behind him.

"Baby, Twi. Baby, not baby. Very sensitive to him if a baby" Sinta rectifies Dwi's speech.

"Baby means baby. But especially him, a baby who is not grinding." Dwi doesn't want to lose.

Fadila just silently listened to the commotion from her two friends. All she did was stroke her stomach.

For a long time Fadila had expected the presence of a baby in her stomach. And now he can finally have it, even though he only found out after the divorce.

It was better than his son would have to endure the hatred of his grandmother and the abuse of his father.

Fadila remembered that Febri had come home angry. Because it was Fadila who always urged Febri with questions because the man came home late at night without saying anything.

Febri gets angry and imposes himself on Fadila. From then on Fadila harbored disappointment and began to dare to fight on Febri and his mother.

You must be strong to accompany mother, son. Fadila's mind, closing her eyes, channeled warmth to her baby inside.
