AUTHOR POV

Never had Inanti been this scared, what if Alan scolded her? Make her cry back and throw hurtful words?

The sound of the door opening never made Inanti this scared, the clock was already showing at 10 p.m. And her husband just came back. Trying to catch his breath, Inanti exited the room to greet him. He was still at the door taking off his shiny shoes. 

Inanti approached, just like the night before. Trying to reach his hand for Inanti to kiss, unfortunately Alan again dodged. "Sister's eating? Want Inanti to make dinner?"

"Not to."

"Do you want Inanti to prepare warm water?"

"No."

"Help help bring the bag. Brother just take a break, want to drink some cold water?"

"No." His hand held up the bag not wanting Inanti to touch, just then Inanti got a sharp glare from Alan. "Can you handle your own business? Don't bother me, go there."

"About noon, Brother..inanti is actually…."

"Whatever." Alan cut off his words, Inanti lowered her head reluctantly to look at him who was standing in front. "I don't care if you want to do something, but don't embarrass me. If you want to work, work far away, not around the campus. Look at you here every day has made me sick, let alone added on campus."

"I'm sorry, sister, but Inanti needs money to eat a day" she said, biting her lower lip and holding back tears. 

"You gave me the dowry I gave you? 150 Grams, it can support you, right? Not to mention the money my father gave me. You want that money?"

"Well to pay for my mother's hospital costs."

Alan chuckled, making his heart feel pinched. He laughs at Inanti's life, a fate broken by Alan. "Listen yes, my family was already made ashamed of you, the same Father who stole my Papa car. Now what? You want some money for your mother's hospital expenses?"

"No," he said quickly, Inanti's glassy eyes were just the wind for Alan. "This doesn't ask for it, Inan just wants you to treat Inan well."

"Treating you well? Your name has already tarnished the family of Praja Diwangsa, now want to be treated well? You're not in your right mind" said Alan stepping away.

Inanti was silent, staring at the floor with her ears attached hearing Alan climb the stairs. This is how Inanti, every day gets bad treatment. Not physically, but the pain was more than a slap. 

Hopefully, Alan wants dinner, so Inanti can also eat. "Sorry, honey, tonight we eat bread again, yes" he said to his flat stomach.

Alan, who cares about the baby in the womb, considers Inanti as his wife alone makes him nauseous.

Inanti returned to the room, the place was as cramped as her old room. Two months ago Inanti felt her life was at the top, got a job with a big salary and attended a university in Negri. Darling, his job as a clean handyman at the hotel left him devastated.

What a horrible night. At that time, Alan was a guest of the hotel. Just remembering it made Inanti goosebumps in fear. Moreover, Inanti remembered Alan's part of throwing him money, telling him to shut up. 

Unfortunately, two weeks later Inanti is pregnant and her mother finds out. He gets angry and goes to the home of the Praja Diwangsa family, which is when Alan admits his mistake.

And Mr. Inanti took advantage of the situation to steal. On the day of Inanti's silent wedding, her father steals Alan's Papa's car, which leads him to prison. 

'Oh my God, why is my life like this?'

Every piece of bread that goes into the mouth, along with tears that drip. 

Wiping it repeatedly, Inanti exited the room to fill a large bottle with drinking water. When he came out, Inanti realized that Alan was watching television in the middle room. Inanti passes by slowly, considering she looks busy with her laptop.

While filling the used aqua bottle, Inanti stared at her husband silently. His jaw was firm, his eyebrows were thick, his black eyes were staring intently at the paper paper on the table, as well as his slightly thick lips. Inanti can't hate him, because in fact, Inanti fell in love with Alan on the first day of ospek, with him being the honorary guest of the economics faculty of management.

His heart was filled with hope again, whispering to himself, Don't worry, Inanti, as hard as a rock will be lost to the water droplets. Your husband will realize how lucky he is to have you, continue to hope and pray, and believe that God is with you.'

"Hallo, Assalamualaikum?"

'Waalaikumsalam, is this true with Miss Inanti Faradiya?'

"Yes, I'm alone."

"Geez, doctor, sorry, Inan didn't come yesterday because Inan's still working."

'Yes, it's okay, Nan, but you know what I'm going to talk about?'

Inanti gulped roughly, nodding alone. "Operation Mother?"

'Yes, I tried to help, but you know this is a private hospital, and ju-'

"Yes, doc, Inan understands. This morning isaallah Inan went there, paid for everything."

'OK good, Nan. Assalamualikum.'

"Getishalight."

It hurts to remember that Mom is struggling with her pain. Inanti put away the blanket, sitting on a foam mattress that lay on the floor. Sadly indeed, in a house this big, Inanti sleeps on a weathered foam mattress with pillows and blankets from Alan's former maid. 

Jakarta is hard, but her husband's heart is harder. 

After the dawn prayer, Inanti used to sleep again until six. To go to the hospital, Inanti wants the best clothes.

When out to go to the bathroom, Alan was neat with coffee in front of him. 

"Sister is neat? Will Inan make you some breakfast?"

Silence struck, Alan was busy with the newspaper. "Sister…"

"No need."

And hope is dashed. But, Inanti had to say it. So Inanti sat in her front seat, making Alan look at her for a few seconds. "Well, let's talk, brother."

Alan did not answer.

"It's gonna take money for the operation, sister."

Alan dropped the newspaper.

"Inanti money is not enough, still less, Brother." Inanti again explained, "Then know the number is not small, but Inan will pay later. It takes a moment, brother."

Without saying anything, Alan left Inanti. He climbed onto the second floor, an area that Inanti had never stepped on. And Inanti's tears trickled back, until Alan returned and kept the debit card on the table. "Wear that."

"Favor, Brother."

"Don't big head, it's just for your mom's operation, then give it back."

"Yes, Brother, Inan understands."

Alan was about to leave, but Inanti held him back by saying, "Oh yes, Brother. If you are not busy, you want to accompany Inanti to see Mom? I'd be happy to see Ka---"

"I'm busy."

"Okay, Brother, Inan understands."

And Inanti knew, she shouldn't have asked that. 

"I'm going to Bandung, don't make trouble in my house."

Inanti replied in a choked voice, "Okay, sister."

Inati knows what Alan went to Bandung for. He went to meet his idol named Vanesa. He used to go to college in the same place as Alan, but when news of him spread, Vanesa came out. They're friends, but Alan has more feelings for her.

Even to this day, Alan was still chasing after her. Though he should have realized, Inanti is his wife who is pregnant with his descendants.
