“Lo is really pregnant?”
“Hah? How come it's that all of a sudden?”
“Yes because I thought the same thing Mama said. Why do you have a feeling of being pregnant?”
“Yes I don't know, anyways it ‘kan just feeling Mama is not necessarily reality. Mama also said ‘kan there is a possibility I have stomach cramps also because it will come month,” said Shena.
“Yes if you are really pregnant how?”
“Ngak. Do not think too, and do not know what to do other than accept because it ‘kan grace. Wh why? You don't want to have children?”
“Ya is not that but ‘kan too fast anyway? I'm happy just—later I'm confused to do,”
“Yes, don't think about it now. Mending you leave for campus now, abis it want to go directly to the office ‘kan? Rather than being late because of the discussion that is not so important because not necessarily feeling Mama right ‘kan,”
Suddenly Shena was sad. Dio may feel unprepared but there's no need to be this sniffling talk to him. She has not been killed pregnant. Just limited to Ardina's opinion.
“Yes this is important too, Shen,”
“Iya-iya this is important, but ‘kan this just because I want to come months not necessarily pregnant. Why the hell are you anyway? I'm not really happy if for example we have children,”
“Not happy but too fast ‘kan, according to how?”
“Yes, but if God wants time we must refuse. You don't talk about it like dong, it hurts the hearts of women. Even if I am afraid of getting pregnant in the near future, I who feel not ready will learn to be ready. Because there are many mothers out there who are still confused so what is the mother? How to carry out the duties or obligations of the wife as well as possible is still confused. But finally they managed to ‘kan so great mothers whose descendants are not less great,”
“Yes, we've been talking again now I'm leaving first. Want to talk biasain use me you're afraid of the surprise of Mama again. Namti Mama said my call is not good to hear, what is it, very lazy I heard Mama say,”
“The good parent tells his child to do or be kind too. Yes it is true said Mama, if lo I it is more likely to be appropriate to use for friends or friends only. Mama just don't want you to think I'm the same as your friends,”
“Yes I'm going to wait. Uh I mean,”
Shena was stunned to see Dio who was still mistaken. Dio was trying hard to get used to talking using the words me and you when talking to his wife. So that there is a difference from his friends.
“Depart first yes,”
Shena nodded her head and kissed her husband's hand while telling him “Be careful, Dio,”
“Okay, you are also well at home huh. Rest lo! Don't—eh break you! Not most activity,”
“Sip I'll take a lot of breaks,”
“Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam,”
Dio came out of the room leaving his wife. Downstairs Dio meets Ardina who is taking Sakti off to work.
“I also want to go, Assalamualaikum,”
“Waalaikumsalam, be careful,”
“Ke campus ‘kan this?” Tanya Sakti to her son who immediately nodded his head.
“Iya later new to office, Pa,”
“Ya has the spirit of learning, the spirit is also looking for money to be able to give the best for the wife, the same later if you have children yes for children too,”

“Shena, why don't you go to campus?”
“Against feeling good, Der,”
Shena opened her phone while washing clothes. He continues to do his daily duties even though his body is not healthy. Because he is not comfortable to see there is laundry if it is usually washed after from campus this time because He did not go to campus so He washes once Dio leaves. When he checked his phone, there was a call coming in from his friend, Dera.
“Oh so, hopefully quickly healed yes,”
“Aamiin, thanks for the prayer,”
“Do not get sick dong, not good ah no lo,”
“Hahah yes later if you have healed directly college kok, calm aja,”
“Ntar me to home can not?“
“Bby kok,”
“But can be same husband lo?”
“Yeah, time can't? Yes you can,”
“Heheh is afraid that it cannot be so, because lo maish has not moved to his own house?”
“Not yet, I don't want to either. Still feel at home here. Because if you live alone without parents, I already imagine very difficult. I live with my own Mama Papa is normal, continue to have to be biased themselves again later to live without Dio's parents and it's not easy either for sure. Because they are so good with me. I really considered their own biological child,”
“Yes good dong if they are good and consider lo kayak own biological children, ‘kan win it the desire of the women out there who have been married. Not a little not even at home in-laws, while lo at home. That means they are so good. Mostly you get out of there if you already have children,”
Shena just chuckled in response to Dera's last sentence. He does not know also when to have children, and what is true will be released when already have children so that their lives are independent after the presence of children only.
“Emang not good anyway stay together if you are used to the same parents or good in-laws, different if they rese yes,”
“The same house is too wide in my opinion. So it's getting lonely,”
Shena was invited once to the future home of He and Dio. He remembered that the house was too old for those who only lived with a husband and wife and maybe there would be two domestic assistants. It still feels so lonely.
“Iya, Der,”
Their phone call ended. After that, Shena was busy with her laundry. After washing he immediately dried it and was accidentally seen by a household assistant who was about to pick up the rags.
“Yeah, Mba Shena. How nyuci? Ntar if the appearance of Mas Dio same Bu Dina scolded you know. Yes, let me,”
Shena smiled and shook her head. “Nothing, Bi. I've been so nervous about her body,”
“Don't do that, Mba. Afraid that later Mba will get sick even worse,”
“No, Bi. Safe-safe, Aunty calm down yes,”
“Udah buar I aja aja sun, Mba,”
“Nggak—“
“Mba, let me just. Mba break,”
The container to store the laundry had already been seized by Auntie, finally Shena chuckled. “Yes if so, thank you so many Aunties for helping me,”
“It's the same, Mba. Mba take a break, don't be tired. Later he was afraid even more sick,”
“Yes, Bi, it's me break kok,”

“Cafe first ah. Want to drink hot matcha,”
Instead of going to the parking area to pick up his car, Dio stepped into the campus cafe. Before going to the office, he needs a cup of hot drinks that make him excited, and feel not sleepy.
“Tadi in class sleepy like whatan tau, turn out of class buset my eyes immediately literate,”
Dio is not alone, but with a friend, Ryan. They both dropped out of the class together and both stopped by the cafe before leaving the campus.
“Yes the same, I was also sleepy earlier. Hence want to drink,”
“Drink what first?”
“Yes drink hot matcha, geblek. What to drink?”
“Hahahah kirain drinking another. Uh but can ntar malem yuk,”
“Ah I'm lazy. Now drink a little it feels like already want to fly, anjir,”
“Hahaha,”
“Maybe because it's been a very rare time,“
“Why? Wife's forbidden to bar is it?”
“No, he never banned, maish bawel nyokap bokap me. If you are interested, wow my abis. If Shena mah not,”
“But he seems to not like it?”
“Oh if it's real. He squirms I mabok tuh ilfeel directly, just never bring it. Not like nyokap bokap I immediately get angry if I go home the night abis party, but it ‘kan first, and not often also just because they are not happy if I am a party,”
“Lo is a good child actually, rarely ah party,”
“Yes that is why, once the party is scolded until home, because the guenya drink, if I do not drink maybe I am not scolded. That's the mischief of the time before the same Shena. After her, I think I just drank again,”
They arrived at the cafe and immediately picked a table. After ordering, they continued chatting again.
“Why? After having an istriinkayak there is a limit, huh? Do you want to worry about being wrong, afraid of this, afraid of that, really not?”
Dio nodded his head. Even though he has not loved Shena but wants to do something it is honestly always thinking the end will be to Shena.
“You assortment outside, I immediately thought ‘oh yes ntar Syena how? Ntar him nih’ problem I so like it anjir after the same him. Very strange, even though I did not like there him early,”
“Hahaha it's a sign that you love him but you don't realize maybe,”
“Gue ‘kan betrothed,”
“Well yes, at first it is not love, but not long from there your heart has secretly put more feelings for him without being aware. That's why you think of him,”
“Eh I was upset with him at that time because we were betrothed! And I guess he told me to keep my soul mate with him, and told my ex that I would marry him. I don't know if my ex is rude either. Really said nyokap, my ex there was another guy,”
“Anjir, it hurts so much Shena. It turned out to be a wedding ordeal lo,”
“Now it's okay actually,”
“Still upset with Shena?”
“No, I've started receiving him,”
“Keep being honest about feelings?”
“What feeling?”
“Yes love it, geblek,”
“Ya guy I haven't—“
“Ah that's a long time I'm sure. The proof is that he thinks he's mulu. I want to do nothing, always remember Shena. Yes that's a sign you're in love with him,”
