WHY LOVE
S2 - May We Be Stupid
"Mother Sucita-"
The nurse called out the Holy Name to enter the gynecological examination room. There were eight people in line this morning in the waiting room. Mila, Spog, there is a partner, some are alone. Saints got the number of the third queue which has now been called.
With kindness, doctor Mila invited Suci and Nico to sit down. After observing the examination history book, it was time for Saints to lie down to do the Ultrasound.
Nico was so enthusiastic staring at the screen as soon as the tranducer was affixed to the skin of the Holy abdomen.
"This is her fetus.The size and weight are normal, healthy.nah this sex is also visible.." the mature doctor showed the point of the picture marked.
"So, don't tell me her gender. Let's be a surprise, won't we, baby?" Nico looked at Sacred who immediately nodded in agreement.
Doctor Mila smiled, shepherding the wishes of his patient.
Nico summarizes Holy shoulder with pride because he can accompany his wife to check the contents without being absent every month. The two walked casually down the corridor of the mother and child hospital with a bare face.
"Where are you going, beautiful mom?" Nico looked at Sacred while raising both eyebrows.
"Where is it the same as you," said the Holy One with a blink of one eye.
"Wow.my wife became a pinter ngegombal.bikin my heart klepek-clepek." Nico tickled the Holy waist in dismay, making Saints thrash and giggle in amusement.
"Mas-"
"Hm-" Nico who was driving chimed in by staying focused on staring at the road. The sunglasses perched on his nose add to his macho appearance.
"What are you talking about, baby?" Nico turned his head for a moment with a frowning forehead as Saints were still silent.
"Yesterday Mami wants to borrow 5 million. I said, yes, I'll ask permission first with Nico. How's mas?" Saint looked at Nico with a smile. He felt even more in love with the handsome man beside him. Because since she was pregnant, Nico was always on alert and more attentive.
"That's great. For what, he said?" Nico looked back for a moment.
"Make to the salon, shopping. He said he didn't borrow it for long. Looking forward to Sony's delivery this week-"
"Ck, Mamih's lifestyle has never changed. It is only natural that the company can go bankrupt. Frogs." Nico breathed a rough breath. He knows for sure the nature of Mami Dewi during her stay in Surabaya.
The saint chose silence looking at Nico's changed expression which became upset.
"Love you, baby. Not now, not tomorrow. Should be getting older to go to school." Nico said in a resentful tone. "Mommy can't stay at home, right?" guess what, looking at it.
"Well, that's it." Sacred grimacing. He didn't mean to complain. He only answered because he was asked.
"Ah, already. Don't talk about Mommy anymore. This's our quality time." Nico chose to close the story about Mami Dewi.
The nearly 1-hour journey split the capital's highway density, finally reaching a single destination.
"Who, how about a hotel?" Sacred frowned as Nico turned her car into the hotel courtyard.
Nico opened his glasses after the car parked in the shade.
"And last night you said baby wanted to be looked at." Nico smiled raising his eyebrows.
"Ishh-can be in our room," answered Suci looking embarrassed.
"New suana dong. Doctors say that pregnant women should always have a good mood. So I have to make you happy."
"Modussss-" Saints pinched Nico's waist which then chuckled.
The saint let out a long sigh.
"Why?" Nico frowned in wonder.
"Don't bring a casual dress. This is such a fast time in the room." Sacred pursed her lips. The hot outside air plus the pregnancy congenital, makes it sultry and sweaty.
"Who says there's no change of clothes. Looky!" Nico rolled his eyes at the back seat. There appears to be a travel bag lying on the seat.
"Yes Allah. So Nico is dating?" Sacred rolled her eyeballs looking at Nico who was laughing satisfiedly. "Issh, I don't know..." Sacred again pinched Nico's waist in dismay.
"Surprise." Nico was still laughing as he walked out the door. He found it funny to see the reaction of Suci who mengedumel protested because he was not invited to discuss this plan.
Nico clasped Holy's shoulders walking towards the hotel lobby while carrying a travel bag in his left hand.
"We're here, baby. From the room, you can see the view of Ancol beach. Just be cool."
"Wah can walk to the beach dong," said the Holy turned with sparkling eyes.
"Can. To the beach is good later in the afternoon." Then Nico whispered, "Now it's good to see a baby first-"
"Emesum-" Sacred pinching Nico's waist squash.
Their conversation stalled in front of the receptionist for confirmation. Because Nico has made online booking for the room he wants.

Citarasa cake shop became Malik's destination after work. He still has to handle Nico's work. Because his best friend was just about to go to work the day after tomorrow.
He sat facing each other with Rahma, as usual at their favorite table. With two drinks and a snack on the table.
"Mama can come to Jakarta next month." A disappointed look on Malik's face. "If I tell you to wait for Mama to come, then. How ya?" Malik scratched his non-itchy nape. Initially disappointed to switch confusion looks obvious on his face.
"Where are Bang Malik's parents?" Rahma did not know the Malik family. All this time only Malik always came to him.
"Oh yeah, I've never told you about family." Her enthronement Rahma jerked her in a falsehood telling the background of herself and her family. He is too confident if he is advanced enough with the support of established materials to start a new life. But Nico reminded him. Marriage is not just bringing two people together. It also brings two families together.
"My parents divorced when I was in second grade high school" Malik said. He paused for a moment sipping the black coffee in front of him.
Rahma looked at Malik with a serious look, waiting for him to continue his story.
"I'm experiencing what it's like to be a broken home kid," Malik laughed discordantly given his bad teenage years. "The man fell into drugs and was caught and entered rehab. I mean I did that to get attention, so they'd like to refer back. But nil. They're clingy with their own ego."
"A year later Mama and Papa married again only 1 month, first Mama. I, who lived with Mama for a year, chose to live in an apartment when Mama had to come with her husband to settle in Singapore."
"Where is your father?" Rahma could not wait to hear the story as Malik sipped his coffee again.
"Papa still lives in Jakarta, in the Jagakarsa region with his new wife. But after a year, Papa died of a heart attack while playing badminton." Malik told it flatly. There was no sadness on his face.
"Innalillahi.." - Rahma said with a look of regret.
"I was ordinary, not sad when I heard the news. I was less close to him then. He's too busy with his work, rarely at home." Malik flicked his shoulders casually.
"I think it's okay to come with Bang Nico just like yesterday." Rahma chose to change the topic so that Malik did not continue the story of his deceased father's disgrace.
"The goal now is to meet the requirements of Father. Well, later if Dad has given the green light and Brother intends to mengkhitbah, then just invite Mama. How about that?" Rahma offers a solution.
Malik took a deep breath.
"If your father had accepted me, then. I can't wait to justify you." Malik smiled broadly at Rahma who then looked away in embarrassment.
"patience, Bang. I need your parents' blessing, too." Rahma gave a calming look to the handsome man before her.
"Rahma, I love you so much. I can change like this because of you. Please, be my life partner" Malik said with a pleading gaze.
Rahma cleared her throat to neutralize the thumping heart feeling got that deep gaze.
"Bang Malik changed because he had picked up his direction. I'm just an intermediary. May it be Istiqomah!" a sweet smile accompanied Rahma's words.
"May God do not make us fools" Rahma said.
"Aami...God willing," Malik nodded steadily with a gaze that remained attached to the beautiful girl before him.
