Becoming Like My Mother
CHAPTER 49

Melati who had regained consciousness instantly broke away from her husband's embrace.

"Sorry I didn't mean-"

"No Mel, I said it myself. I'll always be there for you now." Cut Fahmi stop the word Melati.

"Oh yeah, why don't you go to the office?" Tanya Melati switched the conversation.

Fahmi gasped, he himself just remembered about his work. "That's it, I'm leaving now." Answer's clumsy.

"Yes, are you okay at home alone?"

"Of course I am. You go."

Fahmi nodded and sauntered away leaving Melati.

Jasmine breathed a long breath.

***

Not felt, now the age of marriage Melati and Fahmi is almost five months. And during that time also the relationship between Melati and her husband was quite close. But still Melati tried not to save the taste on Mas Fahmi. Although he actually has an interest.

For Sasa he did not care at all and never considered the existence of honey. It was just that she would feel very angry if her honey was near her husband. His relationship with Farah also grew further apart, not because Farah was away from him but because it was Sasa who did not have time for him.

If Farah used to be lonely then not at the moment. There was still Melati who accompanied him and spoiled him. Farah was very happy with Melati.

Today Melati is very happy to hear that her honey sister Elisha will stay for a few days in the house. He wants to repair their friendship. He's been waiting for this for a long time.

Ting tong's. The doorbell rang a sign that someone was waiting for the host to open the door.

"Yes a minute." Melati replied with a slight raise of her voice.

How surprised Melati to see the presence of friends who missed her. And so is Elisha. He already knows his sister-in-law's marriage to his best friend. The hatred in his heart grew even more.

It's good that Melati is at her brother's house. There were so many scheming plans on his mind. He thought his brother-in-law would separate his two wives.

Not too long to wait, Melati immediately hugged Elisha's body tightly. Rejected by Elisha. Melati's body staggered backwards due to the encouragement of Elisha.

"Where's my brother?" Ask Elisha ketus.

"He's not home" said Melati. He was actually disappointed by Elisha's attitude, but he tried to hold him back.

"Yes, he's gone." Elisha brushed aside Melati's body with a slight roughness. However, Melati's stomach looks distended. He just doesn't want to be blamed for the situation Melati later.

Elisha went straight to his room as usual when he stayed here. Melati just sighed looking at the deafness of Elisha. He decided to take his foot to his room.

***

Tut tut tut tut's. The ringing of the phone stopped the activity of Melati who was writing her novel. This is what he did at home, because he did not have a job. He was also banned from leaving the house because of his condition.

"Hallo Assalamu'alaikum" he said after sliding the green button.

"........"

"What?!" Melati closed her mouth in surprise.

"........"

"I'll be there soon Brother."

"......."

"All right, Wa'alaikumsalam."

Tok to tok. Melati knocked on Mas Fahmi's work door.

Chequek. The door opened and a man with glasses perched on his nose was looking at his laptop seriously.

"What's Melati?" Fahmi was amazed to see the face of Melati who put on an anxious face.

"Sister, I want to ask permission to go to the hospital."

Fahmi immediately stopped his activities and stared intensely at Melati's face.

"What's wrong?, are you sick?," asked Fahmi worriedly and immediately approached Melati.

"No-no," Melati was very nervous when she saw Mas Fahmi who was so close to her. She could even feel her husband's breath.

"I want to go there because tonight my mother is going to give birth. Several times he felt contractions." Still with his nervousness.

Fahmi immediately sighed, "Alright, I'll come with you as well. There's no way I'm gonna let my pregnant wife go alone, is there?" Ask Melati who impressed to rule.

"Well, but what about Farah and Sasa?"

"Sasa still hasn't come home. And for Farah there is now Elisha. I'll ask him to accompany Farah."

Melati nodded, Fahmi immediately took Melati's hand towards her daughter's room. To be clear, it made Melati even more nervous.

"Honey..," call Fahmi gently.

Farah immediately stopped her drawing activity and immediately smiled at the presence of her parents.

"Hi Father and Mother," he said directly into the arms of his spoiled father.

"Son Daddy and Mommy have a little business. You're okay, baby. Besides you're not alone here, there's Elisha's Aunty here." Fahmi gently stroked the head of the child.

Melati saw the change in the look of her daughter's face, but still tried to smile.

Of course Farah was sad, because this made her remember the times where her Mother Melati had not been in the house. He often felt lonely because of the busy work of his parents.

"Alright Dad, of course I'm fine. Father is right, there is still Aunty Elisa and Anggi (Baby sitter)" he said with a slurred voice.

"Thank you dear. After all Father and Mother will not be long," said Melati also spoke up.

"Sure Bun, but Well can I know where Daddy and Mommy are going?"

Fahmi smiled immediately. "You know Mina's grandmother, don't you?, that time you saw her distended stomach, today she was going to give birth. So Father and Mother have to go there"

"Oh yeah, can I see it later Well?"

"Of course, honey, I'll take you to see it."

"Yeey, thank you Dad." Reveal the excitement of Farah.

"Yes yes dear, Father and Mother must go there immediately. Frightened Grandpa and Grandma waited too long. You're okay, baby, I promise I'll take a picture of the baby." Speak softly Fahmi carefully.

"Yes Dad, I also have to continue my duties. Look..." He pointed it towards his study table.

Fahmi and Melati immediately smiled proudly. "Yes Dad and Mommy said yes. Can't sleep above nine"

Farah nodded.

The couple came out and saw Elisha watching television. They did not forget to tell Elisha. Elisha responded with a smile. But he stared intently at Melati's face.

It's smart of you to take Melati's chance. Right now I did let you go with Mas Fahmi when my brother wasn't around. But just look ahead, even for a second you won't be able to be near my sister-in-law. His mind furiously stared at Melati who was being held by Maf Fahmi.
