"Dea, where's Susi?" herman asked Dea, who was cleaning their humble house.
Herman, who had just returned home from work, sat on the sofa in the front room, wiping his sweaty face with a small towel.
"Silver Susi same Virna went to the market. Maybe they'll be back soon. What would you like to drink?" asked Dea while putting the broom that he had been holding back to where he came from.
Herman nodded slowly. "All right, then make me coffee."
"Good, Brother."
Dea returned to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee for Herman. After the coffee was finished, Dea took it to the front room, where Herman was still waiting for him.
"This is the coffee, brother. Careful, the coffee's still very hot." Dea tried to warn Herman.
Herman also undoes his intention to sip the coffee. He watched Dea who was now sitting not far from him. Dea's protruding belly came to Herman's attention at the time. He rubbed Dea's head then smiled wryly.
"Dea, if only the man was really serious. Are you willing to accept it?" ask Herman.
For a moment, Dea fell silent with a focused look at Herman. His face seemed hesitant and hesitant when he wanted to answer the question from his older brother.
"To be honest, I still can't forgive that man, brother. Never mind accepting his proposal, seeing his face I still can't. My heart still hurts if I remember how he did that night to me. But ... For this baby's sake, I'm forced to put my ego aside."
Herman breathed heavily. "Are you willing to accept it?"
"Yes. If the man really seriously wants to account for all his deeds to me. Especially her responsibility for this baby," Dea firmly lowered her head, staring at her protruding belly.
Herman did not reply to Dea's remarks. The man only smiled wryly as he gently stroked the long unraveled Dea hair on his back.
Right at that moment, Susi and Virna arrived from the market. Susi and Virna's hands are full of groceries. The faces of both of them looked crisp and the smile continued to crack on their faces.
"That's Susi and Virna's brother coming" Dea said as she watched her brother-in-law and niece.
Herman turned his head and also noticed Virna and Susi who were now approaching him. Herman furrowed his brows in wonder. He did not know where Susi got the money from to be able to shop that much. While he still did not receive a salary from the manager, the ship owner.
"Look, Dad! I was bought a big doll by Mom" said Virna with a face that looked so happy.
Dea looked at the doll with a glaring look. Suddenly he remembered the teddy bear given by Alfa some time ago. Almost like Virna's doll. It's just a little smaller.
Not only teddy bear, Virna also showed some new clothes and shoes bought by Susi. Herman smiled then stroked the top of his daughter's head gently.
"Now bring your groceries to the room, yes. I want to talk to you, Mom" said Herman.
"Good, Dad!" Virna rushed into her room with her groceries.
Virna's After.
Susi is no less spirited than Virna. The woman opened the grocery bag and held it on the table. There is a set of shirts and pants for Herman, a few pieces of a pretty dress for him and not to forget a beautiful dress sheet for Dea.
"This is for you, Mommy." Susi handed the shirt suit to Herman.
"And this is for you, Dea. Wear this dress if you want to be at Julian's wedding." He handed the beautiful dress to Dea and was immediately greeted by the girl.
"I'm sorry, brother. But I don't think I'm going to Julian's wedding" Dea said.
"Yes, already. That's your business! I'll just give you advice" he said.
Herman who had been silent since then with a gaze that continued to be fixed on Susi, finally opened his voice.
"Where did you get this kind of money, Susi?" Herman scrunched his forehead. "I haven't even paid, yet" continued Herman.
Susi smiled as she moved her hand. He wanted to tell Dea and Herman that his hand was adorned with a ring and a gold bracelet he had just bought. Not only that, around Susi's neck also appeared to be circular a gold necklace with the same motif as the ring and bracelet.
"From my savings dong, Mas! I'd love to set aside some of your salary to save and now we can enjoy the results" Susi replied with a big smile.
However, it was not that easy for Herman to trust Susi's words. He was convinced that Susi was lying at the time.
