The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 4 Attention Mama

The sound of the door clanging open started Tiara's day that morning. Helmia was standing at the door. Happily, Tiara gave her greetings and a cipika with her in-laws. In accordance with the words of Alfa, his mother will come to visit today to accompany him in exchange for he had to leave his wife alone when the schedule of his leave is still not over.

Tiara looked out of the house, made sure no one else came with her mother and pulled over and opened both hands to let Helmia in.

“Your father is always busy and only has free time on weekends.” Answering Tiara's question that appeared in his expression, then walked casually while circulating his gaze around the corner of the room, and sat in the guest chair without being ordered.

“Sit down here. Mama brought a lot of food for our casual chat today.” Lifting the large bag beside her, showed Tiara with a smile.

“Thank you Ma. I'll take a drink then.” Tiara pointed towards the back with her thumb, beginning to be intimidated by her mother's attitude.

“Teh warm. Bargain.” Still staring at Tiara who was about to go to the back. Ruling is like being in a restaurant and ordering to a waiter.

“Ah yes. I didn't forget Mama's favorite.” Smile sweetly and step into the kitchen.

Tiara took one porcelain cup and one high ball glass from the shelf on the pantry and made Helmia's tea and cold oranges for her.

And .. he remembered the Alpha. The man was very different from his parents. From a single glance, Jonah looked fierce with the strokes seen on his face. And Helmia, he looked sadistic and always dominated in speech. Contrary to Alpha who always spread a warm smile and show a soft heart with jokes that he always threw. Could it be ...he went down the nature of his grandfather or grandmother? It did not feel like Tiara was laughing to herself at the ridiculous thought that had just flashed through her brain.

However, just as the North and the South also seem to be between He and the Alpha. Tiara added a hint of wishful thinking in her shadow. She is famous as a jutek girl who rarely wants to be friendly, especially to people she does not know and Alpha is so good and easy to get along with others. Her lips untangled a smile recalling the memories of how she had treated Alfa ferociously at the beginning of their meeting.

Tiara chuckled to herself with her wishful thinking and brought a tray containing the two drinks along with small plates as a snack place that Helmia brought.

“You didn't delay it, did you?” Just one sip of tea from the cup she was holding, then Helmia started a conversation.

“Pending ... what?” Tiara asked along with the look on her face that actually showed a question, curious about the direction of the conversation.

“Pending pregnancy," said Helmia briefly but successfully make Tiara's face blush.

Not waiting for an answer from her daughter-in-law, Helmia was busy with her hands reaching for the tote bag she was carrying and taking out so many paper bags filled with food and several small boxes from there.

“It. Mama bring a lot of various vitamins and nutrients fertilizing the content. Mama wants you to be healthy and these vitamins are really good for you" he said.

“Oh ... yes .. thank you.” Tiara received the small boxes in her hands as if judged with the words, Hurry to conceive Tiara. Your mother can't wait to hold a grandchild. So about what Helmia would say if he did not hide all the shameful veins that make Tiara unwell. He just listened as he continued to weigh and read the small writings written there.

“Mama also has a famous obstetrician acquaintance in this city. Previously Mama also often consulted him when pregnant.”

Tiara looked at Helmia with a smile. “Iya Ma. Thank you so much for all this.”

Tiara blotted out her remark saying that Alfa and her parents were not the same. Apparently, despite having a different character, the child and his mother are both in a hurry to want the Tiara to conceive and give them offspring. Ah yeah. Alfa has to work hard.

It is just a reflection of how Alfa treats him with great pleasure under the blanket when remembering it. Tiara blinked her eyes. Shooing away the thought that made his blood rustle, then said, “Did little Alpha ever have a sibling? Ah, I mean, the ... who left before his time?” Tiara became confused on her own because she did not expect to ask spontaneously to her in-laws. Alfa had never told him anything about this, so the question was instantaneous.

“Yes. There are. They all died while still in the womb. One woman and one man. They both died when Mama's unborn age just walked 6 months.” Helmia suddenly showed a gloomy and gloomy face.

“Alfa means a lot to Mama. He's the only successor of our family.” Helmia managed to gain control of herself without any teary drama and cried and smiled warmly at Tiara.

“You're still young Tiara. Maybe Mama used to be like that because she got married late.” The woman then took the snack that was on the table and thrust it towards Tiara. “Try. Healthy snack for you," he bargained.

In the midst of the photo studio activity that passed by so many people, Alfa had just completed her Commercial Advertising Photography and was looking into the computer of her work before editing. Editing any photo is good and which should be re-photographed.

There is still one more Fashion Photography that he must work on, and he must immediately complete it in accordance with the orders of the marketing division of the company that contracts with him.

“Thank you.” Without noticing the owner of the voice, Alfa immediately took his glass and felt the coolness of the water soaking down the throat. He is very thirsty in this place because of the hot weather with the sun shining with the heat.

The woman walked in front of her computer desk and then Alfa watched carefully the middle-aged woman in a khaki loose shirt with a slightly thin body but showed a slightly poking stomach.

Oh, she's pregnant?

Alfa stared intently at the woman's activity in the room, how she was moving agilely with her uneven belly. Noticing this, Alfa recalled Tiara, imagining in her imagination what would happen if she became pregnant with an enlarged belly.

The man exhaled a rough breath and looked back at the computer screen. His hand touched his pocket about to pick up the phone and was suddenly irritated by the dilemma, between continuing his mountain work or contacting Tiara.

Agborg ...

Alfa snorted annoyed at not being able to decide. Quickly, he finally picked up the phone he had in his pocket and contacted the woman far away on the opposite island.

I don't know what activities his wife is doing until the sound of a phone ringing in her ear feels very long.

“Tiara?” as the ringing was no longer heard as a sign that his wife had answered the call.

“Iya Alpha." Tiara just answered her phone on the third ring.

“What's at home?”

“Mama just arrived. I was talking to him.”

“Oh yes?”

“To say something to Mama?” Tawar Tiara's.

“Bby.”

There was a rustling sound of a sign that the phone had changed hands.

“Alfa? When did you get home?” Appropriately. Helmia's words when Alfa was traveling and contacting her were first spoken as well. It seemed that Alfa would answer immediately before being asked, but he lost quickly.

“At the earliest chance later tonight and at the earliest tomorrow morning I will just arrive home. There's still editing to be done, "he replied.

“You must not forget to take Tiara to Jeni's place when you return home. Mama already told your wife that Mama already has an acquaintance obstetrician.”

Alfa raised next to the eyebrows hearing her mother who had suddenly changed the direction of the conversation without further ado. However, even so straightforwardly he replied, “Good. Will arrange tomorrow after I arrive home.”

“Yes. Mama wait to hear from you.”

Silent moment. It seemed like the mother had already ended the conversation and handed back Tiara's phone.

“Alfa?” Tiara's soft sweet greeting came back to her ears.

“Iya my wife. I can't wait to go home and see the spring bed at home," he lapsed with relief that made Tiara chuckle at her words.

“So?" she asked timidly and then exhaled with equal relief, knowing that her husband was fine. There is a longing that feels very close to the owner when he hears the man's voice on the phone. “Yes. I-i understand. You must be tired and want to immediately give me your long sleep souvenirs on the bed," he said by directly ending the call.

Alfa smiled wryly because Tiara did not give him the opportunity to get jail by disconnecting the phone just like that.

Ah, he just misses.
