Pomegranate awakens from sleep. He looked around, there was no Ardan there. A feeling of fear suddenly struck.
"Sister Ardan, where is Brother?" yell Pomegranate.
"Sister, don't stay here alone. I'm scared."
"Sister, please come."
The crying pomegranate hugged his knee. Everything on the bed was thrown in any direction. The room has been disorganized.
Ardan who had just arrived, was surprised to see the state of the room being so messy. Plus, a loud crying Pomegranate leaned near the bed.
"Del, what's wrong with you?" asked Ardan while bringing Pomegranate into his arms.
"I'm scared. I thought Brother left me here. I thought Brother was going to leave me that way," said Pomegranate.
"I'm just out for a second. I buy souvenirs for people home. All in all, buy you food for later in the night" explained Ardan.
"I think Big Brother will leave me rich that bastard. He left me after he got what he wanted. I'm scared, Brother."
Ardan held Pomegranate tighter. Hope his embrace can make Pomegranate calmer.
"Udah, yes. Don't cry anymore. Kasian dede baby, he'll be stressed, "persuade Ardan.
"If this baby had not existed. I won't be this ruined!"
"Don't mistake the baby in your womb, Del. He's not wrong. He's not the one who wants to." Ardan is trying to understand.
"But, really, sister. Had this baby not existed, my life would have been ruined. Big brother won't be stuck in this marriage" Pomegranate looked.
"Udah, no. Everything that happens, let it happen. I don't regret marrying you, okay? Stop beating yourself up" said Ardan.
"Don't think about it again, yeah. From now on, I'm the father of the baby in your womb. Don't talk about anything else anymore" continued Ardan.
Pomegranate looked at Ardan's face. A tear still drenched his cheek. Releasing Ardan's embrace, trying to control himself.
After wiping away her tears, Pomegranate nodded. "Thank you, Brother. If not Brother, I do not know how my life in the future," said Pomegranate.
Ardan brought Pomegranate to sit on the bed. Ask why the room is so messy.
"I didn't say I was going out. Then why did you get this room?"
"I forgot my sister's message. It was just so sleepy again. Keep waking up, I don't see Brother. I thought Brother left on purpose, so he could get away from me. I'm scared, I can't control myself."
Ardan sighed deeply, then exhaled tightly.
"Del, you're my wife now. I may not have left you. To hell with being forced to marry or whatever it is, I'm not gonna run away. You have become my responsibility, until later it will continue to be so," said Ardan.
The pomegranate looked silently permeating Ardan's speech. So much understanding Ardan, despite having been forced to marry him. Not one bit, Ardan intends to walk away from his life.
"Udah, yes. Now you better eat first. Your energy must be sweet to cry rich gini. Kasian dede baby in your belly."
Ardan stuffed the meatballs bought earlier this afternoon into the bowl. Two bowls of meatballs are available on the table.
The pomegranate immediately sat closer to his meatball bowl.
"How many servings were purchased?"
"5 servings" said Ardan.
"Not much, anyway?" pomegranate was surprised.
"Well, I know you want to go. Kayak in the tent stall earlier, right," replied Ardan while bribing a spoonful of meatballs into the mouth.
"That's not the time either, brother."
"Will you go out or is it here?" ask Ardan.
"Jaudah if that. After the meatball, if you want to add take it in the refrigerator, yes. I'm gonna take a shower first."
Pomegranate looked at Ardan who was moving to the bathroom. Come to think of it, how embarrassing his attitude was just now. Crying roared just because Ardan wasn't with her.
The sound of water rattling could be heard from the bathroom. Must be from the shower, thought Pomegranate. Soon Pomegranate prepares a change of clothes for Ardan. As he remembered, Ardan had only brought a towel.
"Tok tok."
Pomegranate knocking on bathroom door. Ardan opened the door a little to peek out.
"What's up, Del?"
"Anu, here's a change of clothes. Sis Ardan just brought a towel," replied Pomegranate.
"Oh, yes. Thank you." Thank you."
The pomegranate immediately handed Ardan a shirt while closing his eyes. Afraid to see something you shouldn't see.
Ardan smiled at the behavior of Pomegranates. He also took the clothes that Pomegranate stretched out as fast as lightning. Then close the bathroom door and lock it.
"Del, Del, if you're like gini, who's not hurt. Go on a tangisin, get dressed, eat together. If the gini continues, who can go" murmured Ardan.
Before long, Ardan came out of the bathroom. Pomegranate already cleaned the table after they ate earlier.
"Well, did you finish eating?"
"Udah. You can not increase, the stomach is still full," said Pomegranate.
Pomegranate took his towel. Looks like I intend to take a shower.
"Wanna take a shower?"
"Yes. Let the agency segeran," said Pomegranate.
"Bring a change of clothes?" asked Ardan while smiling mischievously.
"Bring. Brother Ardan." Pomegranates also enter the bathroom.
Ardan chuckled, feeling funny with Pomegranate's reaction. The small face looked flushed red from being teased.
The television on the wall turned on Ardan. Trying to find an interesting broadcast, so that he does not get bored. Occasionally change the channel, to find news about tourist destinations again.
The pomegranate who had finished bathing and changed clothes, immediately sat down beside Ardan. The smell of vanilla came out of his body. Ardan turned his gaze in the other direction. Trying to shift his mind.
"Sister, what did you buy that brother just now?" pomegranate asked while drying her hair.
"Same clothes of dry food. I want to buy that cake, but tomorrow. Fear of buying it now. You must be moist if entered in the box," said Ardan.
"Yes, anyway. Because the cake is very short expiry. At most only a week, will be immediately plural," said Pomegranate agreed Ardan.
"Del, if I work later, how are you?" ask Ardan.
"How-how. Yeah wait for Ardan's sister to get home."
"Emang ingga bosen? Can you if you want to go ama temen-tenemen."
The pomegranate fell silent, before replying, "That's all you need, brother. They must be busy trying to get into college. Shame I also, pregnant again even play."
Ardan looked at the Pomegranate. He understood, actually Pomegranate wants to meet his friends. However, shame dominates. Pomegranate is pregnant, while her friend is continuing her education. An ideal that must run aground because of one fatal event.
"Hmm, okay then. But, if you suddenly want to play together temen, say aja, yes. Also, if you miss your father, just say it, too" said Ardan.
"Yes. Thank you for trying to understand me, brother."
