Haikal who did not understand what happened, just stay still when Rere grasped his hand until outside the cafe. If I may ask, he wants to stay like this, like he used to. But his hopes instantly dissipated as Rere let go of their grasp.
"Thank you for coming. Sorry if without permission, I'm holding your hand. Please don't get me wrong, I just want to get back at Gina."
Haikal tried to smile despite the truth, he was very disappointed. "Yes, I know."
Rere grimaced while holding his stomach that suddenly felt pain, like a contraction.
"What's the Re?" Haikal looks worried.
"It's okay." Rere was relieved because the pain was only a moment. "I'll go home first" she said.
"I'm taking it."
Rere shaking. "No need, I can take a cab." He didn't want to be seen giving Haikal hope. And whatever his relationship with Romeo is today, his status with Haikal remains in-law.
"All right." Haikal did not want to force, it seems the way to get back to Rere was closed. Just as Rere was about to leave, Haikal saw Gina coming out of the cafe.
"There's Gina." Haikal said while giving the code through the eyes. "I'll just take it with me."
Rere glanced from the corner of his eye. Right, there was Gina standing not far from the entrance of the cafe. It seems that he must accept Haikal's offer to make Gina even more hurt.
"All right."
Haikal's smile instantly expanded. Soon he walked along with Rere to his car parked in the cafe. As was his custom, he opened the door for Rere. Closing back after Rere sat comfortably and then circling the car towards the steering wheel.
The car drove out of the cafe. Rere could see how messy and upset Gina's face was. But the thing is now, he has to get stuck with Haikal both in the car. He's not comfortable with this situation.
"Can I drop me off at the front stop?" Said Rere as soon as the car was a bit far from the cafe.
"Is that uncomfortable with me?"
"We're not like Kal was. And right now, our status is in-law. Have you ever heard the term brother-in-law is death? I don't want any misunderstanding let alone slander. There's a heart we have to take care of."
"Romeo?"
Rere just silently heard Haikal say his name. It seemed that he did not need to clarify the obvious answer.
"Have your relationship with Romeo improved?"
"No matter what our current relationship is, he's still my husband. My status is still Romeo's wife."
Haikal regretted letting go of Rere. Releasing a woman who despite her household condition is not good, still maintaining boundaries with other men, still thinking about her husband's feelings.
"Are you still mad at me? Again, I apologize for all the accusations and rants I had at that time. It was a_"
Haikal was silent. As Rere requested, he stopped his car in front of the stop.
"Thank you again." Rere opened the door, but as he was about to descend, he again felt a contraction.
"You okay, Re?"
Rere was silent, he still felt his lower abdomen as well as his sore waist.
"I'll just drive home."
Rere who was afraid of something happening to his womb finally nodded. He closed the door again and leaned back, looking for the most comfortable position.
"Don't you give birth?" guess Haikal.
Rere also thought there. But the hpl is still quite long, still 20 days away.
"Maybe just a false contraction. Estimates of giving birth are still long," Rere said.
Haikal, who has never been married and faced a pregnant woman, clearly does not understand about it. What a false contraction is, he doesn't know. So he just kept quiet.
The car they were riding back down the highway. Haikal's break should be over. But he doesn't care about that. He prefers to drive Rere home and make sure the woman is okay. Until they arrived in front of Rere's house.
"Are your parents home?" Haikal saw Rere's house so deserted.
"It seems they haven't come home yet. Maybe in a minute."
"Is it okay are you home alone? I'm afraid you're gonna give birth soon."
Although Rere was also anxious about it, but with Haikal was not the right choice.
"It's okay, I'll call my mama to come home soon. I'm out first." Rere got out of Haikal's car and shut it down.
While Haikal, his feelings are not calm. She was afraid that Rere would give birth while the woman was only home alone. Accompanying him at home, obviously impossible because they were just the two of them. Confused as to how, Haikal finally contacted Romeo. Ignoring her anger at her sister. Because after all, the most entitled to be with Rere explained Romeo, her husband.
"Are you sure?" Romeo asks as Haikal says Rere is about to give birth.
"Not so sure, but the possibility."
Romeo who never forgets when hpl Rere soon sees the calendar. "20 days away," he murmured softly. But the doctor said, it can be forward or backward. So it could be, Rere was indeed about to give birth.
"Can you wait there for a second, I'll be there soon. Please take care of my wife until I come."
Not yet Haikal gave an answer, Romeo had already turned off the phone. Soon he cleaned up the work desk and asked for permission to go home first.
