Talks with Mira at the weekend brought a big change in Edi. He seems so excited about his days. His smile often broadened his lips.

This time he felt an interest in girls. All this time he did not think of a figure that would be his life companion. The household life of both his parents became a mirror for Edi until he was traumatized.

During this time Edi gamang to bind a woman in a sacred bond called marriage. He was worried that he would hurt an innocent person because of the strangeness of the bond. He was a victim when the marriage bond was torn.

For months he lived with the Farhan family making his view of the fragility of marriage gradually eroded. He saw the beautiful relationship between Farhan and Via. Edi also caught the intimacy between doctors Haris and Bu Aisyah although not vulgar.

“Mas Edi when to apply for Mira officially?” asked Farhan one afternoon.

“God willing in two months. I ask permission to go home, Mas,” replied Edi.

“Iya, Mas. It's up to Edi when it's good. But, why wait two more months?”

“I want to make sure the project with Garuda Corp goes according to plan. After the project went on, I was able to relax. Although I leave for no more than a week, I do not want to miss.”

Farhan smiled at Edi. He was amazed at the loyalty of the man.

“Thank you for your attention Edi. Although Mas Edi has never taken leave, Mas Edi does not necessarily take leave at any time. I salute the loyalty of Mas Edi,” said Farhan sincerely.

“This is my responsibility. Mr. Candra's services are so great. I have promised to serve him and the person he decided as a place for me to serve.”

Farhan nodded while patting the burly man on the shoulder. Towards the azan magrib reverberated, Farhan bailed back to the room.

Days change, weeks go by. Do not feel the content of Via entering the end of the second trimester. Via's stomach already looked bloated.

Because Edi was returning home, Farhan asked Pak Yudi to take Via anywhere. He often drives himself. Rarely does he ask Mr. Nono to drive. Mr. Nono takes care of the house more often.

Like this afternoon, Farhan invited Via to shop for baby needs. He asked Mr. Yudi to take them.

“Love, we go for a walk, yuk! All shopping for our son,” take Farhan.

“Still two months over his birth. Is it tomorrow if it's 8 months?” said Via.

“Let the nursery be prepared from the beginning. If you wait another month or two, your stomach will get bigger. Love later more easily tired, lo!”

“Iya also. Let's make a shopping list first, yuk! Let no one be missed,” proposed Via.

Farhan agrees. They record the needs of babies ranging from boxes, clothes, bedongs, scarves, as well as bathing needs. The need for Via after childbirth was included in the list.

Half an hour later, they left.

“We don't know the gender of our child. Choose a neutral color, yes!” propose Via when they enter the Baby Shop.

“Nutral color?”

“Iya. If pink is identical to girls, if blue identical to men. We choose yellow, green, or white. But, if the shirt is not white, yes!” said Via again.

“OK. We start from the box yuk!” bring Farhan.

They chose a white baby crib with the same colored mosquito net. As for the mattress, Via chooses light green. They also choose a nightstand with the same color as the box, white.

Via looks enthusiastic when choosing baby clothes. Various kinds of clothes with funny pictures have entered the trolley. Shoes and hats are also available.

“This is what, Hubbiy?” ask Via when he saw the new Koko model dress Farhan put on the trolley.

“Coko clothes jumper model. Nice, lo!” farhan.

“When is the value?” Via frowned.

Farhan grabbed the new shirt he put on the trolley. He showed it to Via.

“See, nih! It's small, Love! Our son can wear it when I'm married. Funny, I guess,” replied Farhan with a smile imagining his son wearing a cocoa shirt.

“If our daughter is a girl?” Via remind.

Farhan patted his eel. He chuckles to realize that his son is not necessarily a man.

“Love find a complete girl's shirt with hijab deh!” farhan Proposal.

“Means, one will not be worn,” said Via while looking for a full white dress hijab size new born.

“Let's just. Can make his sister,” replied Farhan relaxed.

Via widens the eyes. He shook his head.

“Only one unborn has thought of his sister,” murmured Via.

Farhan could still hear Via muttering. He just smiled without responding with any words.

“Eh, what's this again?” Via noticed that there was a tie shirt as he put in his choice of clothes.

“This is for 3 year olds. Still a long time ago. That's also if our son is a boy. If it's a girl?” via protests.

“Four more years,” sahut Farhan fast.

Via widened his eyes again. Four years? It was the same as Farhan expecting her to get pregnant again within a year of the birth of her first child.

“Hubbiy..!” pekik Via lirih's.

Farhan chuckled at the face of his wife who was holding back growling. He felt Via was even more adorable.

“Ngot what. Three or four more years there are still models of clothes like this. I love the same model,” kilah Farhan.

Via caving. He let Farhan choose the clothes he liked. He paid for all their groceries.

It's been an hour they've picked baby gear. Two trolleys are full.

“Try Love check first our baby needs list!”

Via took a shopping list he noticed the notes he had made.

“Necessities for Via that has not. What's tomorrow again? Look, we've had a lot of groceries. What does the car insert?” via hesitates.

“Later ask the store that deliver. We'll just choose. Try, what are the needs for busui,” said Farhan while taking notes from Via's hands.

They're heading to the paraphernalia section for mom. Via choosing nursing clothes made from t-shirts. He also chose a breastfeeding bra, brast pad, breast pump, breastfeeding pillow, ASI bag, also an ASI refrigerator.

After all the items on their list were selected, Farhan went to the cashier to pay for their groceries. Via waiting on the available bench while occasionally massaging his calves that felt a little sore.

“Yuk, out. Let them send us all our groceries. I've called Ms. Inah to receive. Where do you want to go now?” farhan said while putting the phone in his pants pocket.

“How about I meet mom? All of us tell you that next week we are having a lecture for the event?” proposal Via.

“Bby too. Come!” Farhan helped Via stand up. Then, he took Via by the hand towards the parking lot.

Mr. Yudi immediately drove the car to the doctor's residence Haris. It took half an hour to get to the house where Farhan spent his childhood until his teens.

“Alhamdulillah, Mother's child is healthy. How is Mother's grandson?” mrs Aisyah asked after they sat in the living room.

“Alhamdulillah healthy. The development is good said the doctor,” replied Via while stroking his distended stomach.

“Thank God then. You guys know her gender?” ask Ms. Aisyah again.

“Not yet, Mother. We intentionally never asked about it. We also asked the doctor not to tell us. Let it be a surprise. The important thing is that we know the development is good,” Farhan said.

Ms. Aisyah nodded. He felt relieved and happy.

“Mother is happy to hear it. Via keep the intake of nutrients so that the fetus remains awake nutritional adequacy. Don't stress too. If the company's business is too heavy, Edi told to handle. If you need your husband help too.”

Via smiled hearing his mother's words. He was happy with the attention that Ms. Aisyah gave him.

“Mas Edi will pull, Bun. Thank God, everything went well. Mas Edi has worked hard to make sure everything is as it should be before he returns home,” replied Via.

“Back home? The tumben? Anything on?” Ms. Aisyah leaned in with a question.

“Mas Edi would like to ask parents for blessing to get married,” replied Farhan.

“Married? Edi to marry?” ask Ms. Aisyah again.

“Iya, Mother. He wants to ask his mother to propose to Mira.” Farhan answered again.

“Mira friends Via?” Miss Aisyah doesn't believe me,

“Iya, right. They will have a wedding if the parents approve,” said Via.

Happiness emanated clearly on Ms. Aisyah's face. Although Mira, Ratna, and Salsa were not her people, Ms. Aisyah already considered them family. Therefore, he was happy to hear Mira's wedding plans.

“May Ratna and Salsa also soon get a good mate,” said Bu Aisyah.

“Aamiin,” sahut Farhan and Via together.

They then discussed a plan to hold a week later. Bu Aisyah gave a lot of advice to Via dakam to keep the womb until giving birth.
