What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

“Chocolate flavored gene, right?”

“That's all?”
“Emang can ask for another?”ask elva.
“Yes, my sister has said you can ask for anything important approved by the doctor and does not affect the baby. Want tteobeoki or samgyetang? Location brother still deket your favorite Korean restaurant,nih.”
“Hngg, thanks. But I don't want to eat anything now.”
“Keep what? A vacation? Bali's? Lombok's? A sumba? Or Korean? Later sister consul to the doctor first, if obtained, brother directly pesen ticket.”balas Xander mentions various places that may want to visit the pregnant woman.
“Hmm, holiday sounds great but I'm not going anywhere right now. The mattress is like a palace, hehehhe. I want to watch brother play futsal.”
“Hah? Futsal?? Geez, why don't you make it out of there anyway. Yaudah, sister connect the children first, you get ready. If clear, brother pick up.”
“Kakak sure mreka desung, this hour mah time most fitting to sleep let alone this weekend. If you can't, brother just go home, later I ask Nindya here.”
“You forgot whose sister? Threatened dikit dah mreka. You are ready.”
“He is, Mr. Boss. Take care.”
“Bye, rycca. Greetings to baby.”
A piece of memory when she first craved first reappeared, making Elva again feel guilty because she always lamented her fate when compared to others, Elva was still more fortunate.
At that time, she had to face a pregnancy without a mastermind or a person who played a role in creating a life in her stomach, he said, but she was not as troubled as the other women who had to face her pregnancy alone because there were two brothers who she happily bothered.
Whether it is, complaints of back pain, cravings, nausea and even false contractions that he often feels. Xander and Nindya always beside him considering his parents who were still out of town.
Even when he had to fight in the delivery room, Xander who became the place of impingement. Really, thank you probably won't be able to pay for everything Xander and Nindya have done.
Xander and Nindya help him take care of Ren until his son is 9 years old.
From Pre-school to Elementary School, Xander has always been Ren's partner in the Father's Day race. Ahead of the race, Xander will clear all his schedule and this time so the first time the man has to be absent.
He had an accident and needed a blood donation. Xander had to go there because only his blood type was the same as the papa.
The man had told Elva and was unceasingly apologizing for being absent. Where Elva might be angry, Xander has been too helpful to her, shouldn't he be grateful?
Finally, before closing the phone, Elva asked that the man just focus on the condition of his papa and of course must be strong so that his mother and Nindya are not sad anymore.
School is very crowded. Elva walked down the corridor to the backyard where the race was held. It occurred to his mind to call the homeroom teacher Ren who had been contacted earlier to continue monitoring his son, not to let his son again experience bullying as when Ren was still in Kindergarten, but his net caught a small figure that he believed Ren was laughing with a man.
The woman began to worry, but she recalled, her son's school security protocol is so strict that it is unlikely to even be very unlikely if there is a kidnapping. His footsteps drew closer and he was held back.
What da fucking hell is he doing here?
“Mama?”
“Hah? Answer the woman in a daze.
“Kok here?”
“Eungg, want to meet you. The other race is still there, right? You follow others just like mama.” Said the woman.
“Hahahhahaha.”
“How do you laugh? Anything funny?” elva asked confusedly.
“Mama, it's 11 o'clock. It was finished 1 hour ago. And, my team won.” Ren replied excitedly. “When I'm ready to be bullied Jef, fortunately there is uncle G.” The boy immediately held the burly hands of the man who had been sitting beside him. “Thank You so much, uncle G.” Ren said with sincerity.
The man, not knowing why felt the warmth in his chest as Ren smiled at him. He stroked the little boy's hair while smiling.
Elva was stunned. This was the second time he saw Grian smiling sincerely at the laing. The first, of course, he gave it to the lover.
“So, to celebrate my victory today as well as thank you because uncle G has become my partner, I want us to eat together. My stomach has been rumbling from earlier.” Ren.
“No need, Ren. Uncle has to go back to the office, you see for yourself right from the cell phone to the sound. Sorry, well.” Grian stood up, preparing to leave but Ren's little hand was already holding him back.
“Please, We're not long, and we're taking a break, right? Anyway, we should lunch together!”Ren said final.
“Ren, mama never taught you to talk like that. Not all wishes can be granted, so, release the uncle's hand.” Elva said firmly. Want to not want Ren directly obey his orders.
“Sorry to me, uncle.”
Grian looked at the small figure. Then, without saying much, the man immediately grabbed Ren's hand. Ignoring the shocked expressions of the mother and son, the man immediately spoke. “Can uncle which of course is the place?”
“Hah? Uncle mean, we can lunch together?” Asked the boy, very surprised to be mixed happy.
“Can, if your mama agrees.” Said Grian while glancing at Elva.
The boy's gaze immediately turned made as cold as possible. His flagship weapon so that the mother would obey his wishes.
Elva breathed a rough breath. Seeing that, Ren immediately hugged his mother. “Thank you, my beutiful mom.”
