The Second Wife of the Former
Four Monthly Gratitude
At the Bakso stall Dina ordered two servings of Meatballs and spent them quickly.
"When hungry, did Neng Dina nyampe run out of two bowls ?" Ask Bang Moustache while laughing.
Bang Kumis still poultice to Dina because the beautiful girl and her boyfriend used to mojok in her stall every time they came home from school.
"Maclum Bang will eat it for the two" Dina replied with a chuckle.
Bang Kumis stared at Dina's stomach which turned out to be a little prominent, he only realized that Dina was pregnant.
"So Neng Dina is pregnant anyway.His handsome husband is the one who used to often wait for Dina here ?" Ask Bang Mustache.
"Yes Bang "Answer Dina Lazy.
Dina wanted to vomit when Bang Mustache said Abi was handsome. Dina Abi was handsome but now ugly badly.
"His relationship has long since finally made a match also "Bang Kumis said with a laugh.
Bang mustache is one of the witnesses of Abhimanyu's love story with Dina. Abhimanyu used to hold for hours in his Baksoya stall just to wait for Dina to come home from school.
Bang Kumis also used to be regretful when he heard Dina's relationship with Abhimanyu had broken up even though they were a matching couple. He only knew now that Abhimanyu and Dina were finally married.
After paying for her order Meatballs Dina returned to order ojol and went home with a full stomach.
---
After forcing Dina to return Abhimanyu back to his office. Along the way he did not stop grumbling.
"Where to try a hot afternoon like this wandering, he was realized not really if in his stomach there was my baby. Just be careful if something bad happens with my baby, I'll make sure you'll regret your whole life " While driving Abi continues to grumble.
Even at the office, Abhimanyu's face still looks irritated, making Satria immediately reprimand him.
"You're having trouble with Nisa ?" Satria asked while sitting in front of her desk.
"There is no "Abhimanyu replied.
"You don't lie to your sister, even if you try to cover it up, but you know that you have a problem and you believe it has something to do with Nisa" Satria said.
"The problem I have with Nisa is only one child problem, but we have got the solution as I and Nisa told you the other day" replied Abhimanyu.
"Then why don't you look happy ? you should be happy because there is a solution to your problem "Tanya Satria.
Before deciding to adopt a child, Nisa and Abhimanyu had already done a tube baby program but it did not work and Satria was very concerned to see it.
"Not unhappy brother.we are preparing mentally to become parents" replied Abhimanyu.
"Indeed it should have been.Bakak and Nana are also the same as you have to prepare mentally let alone our twins. While you know for yourself how lazy and efficacious Nana who is almost like Sherin.still fortunately Nisa has grown up so metal she must be very ready to be a mother" said Satria.
"Yes sis.he is very mentally prepared to be a mother "Abhimanyu justifies Satria's speech. Actually Abhimanyu is also ready.he is just not ready to associate with the woman of his past. That's the real root of the problem.
Abhimanyu and Satria chatted for quite a while and Satria just returned to her room when her secretary told her that Nana had come and was now waiting in her room.
"Back back then, Nana came, she must have stopped by the balloons at Sherina's salon "Satria said with a laugh.
While returning home from work and passing Dina school, Abhimanyu pulled his car in front of the Bakso bang Kumis stall.
"Jeez Mas Abi.tadi mbak Dina also run out from here " Bang Kumis said when delivering Bakso Abi's order.
"Dina here.when ?" Ask Abi
"About the clock of the unit "Job Bang Mustache.
Is it possible that Dina ride ojol's destination will be here ? If Abi knew that Dina would come here, he would not have forced Dina home. Anyway what's the trouble in saying that he wants to eat meatballs here ? even shut up and the edges go away again.
"One more bowl !" Pinta Abhimanyu after finishing one bowl of meatballs.
"Ready Mas" replied Bang Mustache.
Bang Mustache seemed to be smiling to himself when he made Abi's order. They were compact once eating meatballs alone are equally not enough one serving.
After spending two portions of Bakso Abhimanyu went home with a full stomach and when he reached home the food safely entered his stomach without having time to vomit again.
-------------------------------
Abiamanyu was in his study when that night Nisa came with a glass of sweet tea ordered by Abhimanyu. After putting the cup, Nisa did not leave immediately but instead sat down on the Abhimanyu desk.
"I'll be done soon" Abi said because Nisa chose to wait for him instead of going back to her room.
"Mas.I want to say something to you" said Nisa Lirih.
"By the way, am I the type of husband who likes to forbid his wife to express her opinion ?" Abhimanyu asked with a smile.
"Eumm.this is about Dina "Said Nisa lirih
Nisa looked at Abhimanyu's face to see his reaction when he intended to discuss Dina's problem.
"Now Dina's gestational age is even four months and we will make Dina's four-monthly pregnancy ceremony at her parents' house next week.I hope you can come yes Mas " Nisa said while staring in the flat face of Abhimanyu.
"Next week I'm in Borneo with Satria's sister. There's a problem in the mines. I'll be there for a week so I won't be able to come "Abhimanyu replied.
"I said I can't ya can't "Abhimanyu replied firmly.
"You are indeed too late, Mas.i was not tasty with Dina and her family for your attitude.from the wedding you have shown your dislike for them..I thought after Dina successfully got pregnant your attitude would change for the better to them but it turned out I was wrong.I was disappointed with you " Nisa said sharply then went to her room leaving Abhimanyu alone in her study.
Seeing Nisa leave with her anger instead of chasing after Abhimanyu was silent in her study. The more here he and Nisa more often quarrel when their relationship used to be fine even though their marriage was not based on love.
All the quarrels between Abhimanyu and Nisa always boils down to the discussion of Dina. According to Abhimanyu the presence of Dina in her marriage to Nisa has brought bad influence especially to Nisa.
Since knowing Dina, Nisa became a dissident and often angry with him and eventually they became frequent quarrels. Not wanting to sacrifice her marriage to Nisa, which she had built over the years, Abhimanyu was determined to have Dina go all the way from her life after their baby was born.
*
This time Nisa was really angry at Abhimanyu. After the quarrel, Nisa chose to be busy preparing for Dina's four-monthly celebration rather than helping prepare for Abhimanyu's departure to Kalimantan. This is the first time Abhimanyu has prepared all his needs in Kalimantan.
While Nisa, Dina and her parents were busy preparing for Dina's four-monthly pregnancy, Abhimanyu was already in Kalimantan with Satria.
In order to maintain the feelings of Dina and her parents Nisa has apologized on behalf of Abhimanyu for not being able to come to the ceremony later because Abhimanyu is there a job that can not be left outside the city.
Tomorrow the thanksgiving event will be held by doing a study at the home of Dina's parents. All preparations have been made starting from catering, tents, cakes, to hampers that will be distributed to guests who come.
To prepare for the four-monthly celebration of Dina's pregnancy Nisa to stay at Dina's parents' house for two days.
Dina and Nisa were counting hampers as Nisa's phone kept ringing on the table.
Dina who was not far from the table had seen if the one who called Nisa was Abhimanyu.
"Mr..Mas Abi phone should be picked up first !" Dina.
"Have left it alone.again responsibility "Answer Nisa relaxed while continuing to count the hampers on the carpet.
Dina's eyes were slightly squeaking, last night when the two of them were chatting in Nisa's room also did not want to receive a call from Abhimanyu ? Are the two of them fighting ? Let's just hope their relationship is okay, Dina.
---
Abhimanyu looked at his gawai with annoyance. Since their quarrel the other day Nisa never wanted to take a call from him let alone return the message. It seems that Nisa is really angry that Abhimanyu refused to come to Dina's four-monthly pregnancy ceremony.
Today even though Abhimanyu just wanted to ask when exactly the ceremony will be held because Nisa did not tell the exact time to Abhimanyu because it happened to be tomorrow afternoon Abhimanyu and Satria will return to Jakarta because all the problem in the mines has been solved.
The next day after Dzuhur Abhimanyu came to his father-in-law's house where they lived temporarily. Abhimanyu had vomited twice and now his body was really tired and he finally fell asleep.
Abhimanyu woke up an hour later and he immediately asked Nisa to his mother-in-law.
"Nisa has not been home for three days, she is staying at her friend's house which will be a four-monthly thanksgiving today" said Mama Nisa.
Oh so his four-monthly birthday is today ? Inner Abhimanyu.
"Don't Nisa say the same to you ?" Ask Mama Nisa.
"Say but I forget again, then I will follow it there now "Abhimanyu replied.
Mama Nisa nodded
Abhimanyu went to his room and he took a bath and prepared to follow Dina's house so that Nisa would stop lashing out at him.
The recitation was underway when Abhimanyu arrived. Nisa's smile immediately expands when her husband appears using white cocoa and black peci. It was very coincidental that day Dina was also wearing a white robe.
Nisa made room for Abhimanyu to sit next to Dina and she shifted her seat towards Bu Ahmad. Dina instead shifted her seat slightly away from Abhimanyu as she felt awkward and uncomfortable sitting too close to Abhimanyu.
Although late, Abhimanyu still had time to attend the lecture even though his arrival was actually forced because he was afraid to get anger from Nisa.
Not long after the recitation was over and the guests came home with boxed rice and very pretty hampers in their hands.
"Mas, thank you for finally coming "Said Nisa after all the guests came home.
"I came here for you "Abhimanyu replied and unfortunately Abhimanyu's answer even made Nisa again irritated.
"Why for me ? It should be for the sake of your child, Mas "Said Nisa spicy.
"Here Nis.cuma problem for whom do not be a big problem. The important thing is that I have come so the Dina family is not ashamed because their husband and daughter-in-law came "Said Abhimanyu casually.
Abhimanyu's words were heard clearly by Dina and her parents.
"Son Abi, if you feel forced it is better not to come. With Nak Abi not coming we will not feel ashamed.Jut we feel ashamed and feel very unappreciated if Mas Abi came here because he was forced to "Dina's father said firmly.
Dina who felt very hurt by Abhimanyu's words did not say anything only her beautiful eyes that looked dewy.
"You are outrageous Mas.it's better you just go home there !" Banish Nisa out of embarrassment to Dina and her parents.
Because Nisa kicked him out Abiamnyu finally came home. All the way home Abhimanyu grumbled.
"Gue said for the sake of you should be happy, why even become angry ? Why the hell is Nis everything I do is always wrong in your eyes ?" Abhimanyu.
Perhaps Abhimanyu's intention was to make Nisa happy, Abhimanyu did not realize that his words that seemed to flatter Nisa even made Dina's pregnancy seem meaningless to Abhimanyu and it was only natural that Dina and her family ended up being offended.
Not long after Abhimanyu returned, Nisa returned to Dina and her family. Abhimanyu arrived at Nisa's parents' house and was followed by Nisa half an hour later and in her room quarrels were inevitable.
Nisa felt disappointed for Abhimanyu who had humiliated her in front of Dina and her family. While Abhimanyu was annoyed because Nisa was too demanding Abhimanyu to give more attention to Dina, a person who Abhimanyu hated.
