Mr. Sucipto and Ms. Renata relented. Those who gave up came to Santi's house. Although at first they felt sad. But, when they saw the attitude of Santi and Chayra, they could breathe with relief. Finally slowly it turned into warmth.
Chayra sent a message to her husband that the meeting with her parents went smoothly without a hitch. Lama Chayra waited until Ardian replied to his message.
Okay thank you, honey. I'll call you when the meeting is over.
Chayra did not return the message for fear of disturbing her husband. He continued his conversation with his two parents-in-law. Renata stared a few times while rubbing Chayra's bulging stomach.
"When is this coming out, honey?" Renata's hand was still rubbing her daughter-in-law's stomach.
"God willing for less than three months, Mi. Hopefully Mami can accompany me during childbirth." Chayra clasped her in-laws' hands.
"If Mami had better be told that her son was out, dear. You see Mami is afraid to see people giving birth. Fear Mami instead of strengthening you later even fainted on the spot. It's troubling people. But what method would you give birth to her?"
"God willing I want to be normal, Mom. But, if it can't be anything if Caesar."
"Just use Caesar, son, let you not be sick."
"I want to wear the lightest risk, Mi. The doctor said yesterday anyway, most likely I can give birth normally because my pelvis is wide."
"Mommy can't wait to see Mami's granddaughter."
Chayra smile. "Mommy can check later in the seventh month, if Mami is curious to see it. Yesterday we just found out her gender too, Mi."
"Lho, how was it yesterday? Not yesterday the sixth month."
"Yes, but I deliberately asked the Doctor to hide it because Ardian did not check in the previous months. He was too busy working until there wasn't even time to accompany me to check the contents."
Renata just kept quiet while glancing at her husband. She knew it was all on orders given by her husband. Mr. Sucipto similarly glanced at his wife. They both looked at each other because they felt guilty. Mr. Sucipto gave excessive duties at the request of his wife.
"It's a good thing his boss understood yesterday when he asked for permission. His words even made Kak Ardian go awry. His boss said his wife died while giving birth to their second child. Especially when his wife gave birth, he was not in place because of the office out of town. How, I came to imagine the incident, Mi. Sad I was yesterday when Ardian told me it was the same thing as me."
Renata just smiled wryly. He knew it was because he buried the man his daughter-in-law told him about. "Mommy buried GM's wife at the time, son. Ja.. My mom is sad too. GM's paper is the largest stake in the company where your husband works now. If Papi you had just twenty-five percent there."
Chayra just smiled in response. He was still a layman in the business world because his mother was reluctant to introduce the world to her two children.
"What time are you home, son?" Sucipto spoke up because until noon Ardian had no sign of going home.
"Still meeting earlier, Pi, just as I sent a message. I told you Papi and Mami are at home waiting. Mm.. Papi and Mami can pray first while waiting for Kak Ardian to come home. After that we had lunch together. It just so happened that Ayra and I cooked a lot earlier because they knew Mami had Papi come."
Renata nodded. "Where's Musholla, son?"
"There's a back, Mi. Come on, Ayra drop off now."
After performing the Zuhur prayer together, Chayra immediately invited her two in-laws to the dining room. Just about to get some rice for Renata, the phone she placed near her seat rang out loud.
"Eh, that's your phone why it sounds so loud. It's sholawat anyway, but if it's so noisy it doesn't interfere with your sense of hearing." Renata knitted his eyebrows to hear the phone ringing at full volume.
"Eheheh ng. I am used to hearing it sound loud. Even if the volume is too small, I'm afraid I won't hear." Chayra grabbed her phone. "Sir Ardian called, Mi. I'll answer you a minute.." Get off the dining table. "Assalamualaikum, Brother."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, darling. Mommy is Papi still at home?"
"still. He said he would wait for Ardian to come home. We're going to have lunch together."
"Oh yes already. Have a good meal then. I rocked out of the meeting room. Not praying this either."
"So, don't pray first then. I want to accompany Mami and Papi to eat first."
"Yes. uh, I'll ask you something later. I almost forgot."
"You ask what you're afraid to forget."
"How are Mami and Papi behaving with you?"
"Well, Mami even rubbed my stomach directly from earlier. Why ask that? Papi and Mami have always been nice to me."
"Thank God if you can think like that. Oh yes, why Ardian can go home quickly. Isn't there a schedule until three in the afternoon?"
"Not so, honey. The boss has an event, so the second meeting is postponed to tomorrow morning. The fate of Sholeh's son. I already know that I have someone waiting for me at home."
"Huh, yes already. assalamualaikum.."
"Wa'alaikum..." Ardian smiled after ending his call. It feels like coming home soon to join the gathering with Mami and Papi. A rare moment in his life. He immediately rushed to fetch water. Save time to get home quickly.
"Other hurry, Yan." Dodit who just entered the room Ardian was surprised to see Ardian who had just held a prayer mat. Uh, it turns out Dodit's not stiff anymore. Not calling Ardian with the Father anymore. Indeed he is also older but somehow stiff when talking with Ardian. However, lately he was not stiff anymore. Maybe because Ardian who always uses simple language if on him.
"You want to go home?" Ask again.
"Yes, there's Papi and Mami at home again waiting for me to come home."
"It's a good thing the meeting was canceled today. Mothers and Fathers will be very tired waiting if you come home in the afternoon. Why not pray at home just let it get home quickly."
"Nanggung. Let's go later if you get home can hug my wife directly."
"If Papi's mom isn't hugged?"
"Normally never. I guess the ones who get rid of them if I hug. He said it was like a little boy."
"Oh, yes already. Please continue the prayer. I'm going out for lunch. His intention was to take you. But, you want to go home first."
"Heheh, sorry, God willing next time we have lunch together. I really can't today."
"Yes it's okay. I go first, assalamualaikum.." Don't forget Dodit said hello because he knew that Ardian was happy with people who like to spread greetings.
"He said what, Dit." Mr. Randi the GM asked Dodit who just came out of the Ardian room. It turns out that Dodit met Ardian on orders from Mr. Randi.
"He wants to go home first, he said, sir. His parents were waiting for him at home." Answer Dodit. He did not tell Ardian that Mr. Randi had invited him to lunch together. Fear Ardian did not dare to refuse if he said Mr. Randi who invited him.
Mr. Randi furrowed his brows. "Sac Sucipto and Ms Renata you mean?"
"I. yes, sir."
"Why should we wait. Did they split the house?"
"Yes, Sir. Ardian lives in his in-laws' house."
Randi's getting clueless. It felt a bit strange to hear a man living in his in-laws' house. "Yes, we're down now."
Dodit hesitated. Mr. Randi looks still curious about the life that Ardian lived. Ardian is suddenly made his new assistant without being asked for approval from him. It was upset, but it was a direct request from her Papi. But, finally he did not become a protest when he saw the performance of Ardian and the manners of the child.
Ardian rushes down from his car when he gets home. He breathed a sigh of relief when he got home. The traffic jam that occurred because he chose to go home in office break hours made him have to increase his patience level.
"Assalamualaikum," Ardian lowered his head into the house. Looks lonely. Ardian finally entered because no one had welcomed him. When he put his bag in the room, it turned out that the room was also quiet. Where is all the inner people. When he went out to get drinking water in the kitchen, he heard a crowd. Oh it turns out everything gathers behind a lonely beach house. He finally rushed to the back.
"Assynoltom..." Ardian walked up to everything. Approaching his wife first. He landed a kiss on his wife's forehead. Then he approached both his parents and his father-in-law.
Renata hugged her son warmly. Ardian just smiled weakly. Her mother rarely hugged her like that. "Your message is to stay here, son. It turns out your in-laws are very warm. This yard is also full of vegetables. It doesn't bother to buy. If you want to cook instant noodles with vegetables just walk a little to the back of the house can be fresh.
"Save costs too, Mi. Have a large page that is used. Not like Mami, the pages are broad but not well utilized. It's just overgrown with weeds."
"Eh, you're playing a protest with Mami
My mom is very busy.
"Hmmm... busy spending money Papi times."
Renata clawed out her son's ear. The conversation lasted until the time of Ashar. Chayra smiled happily several times to see her husband laughing without burden. The thing that this man misses so much. Talk warmly with his parents even though talking about things that are not important.
