Five months later...
Denathan's pregnancy has been going on for five months. Now the woman's stomach looks big and distended. The growth of the fetus in the stomach is running normally. Aditya is grateful to know his wife is healthy during pregnancy.
"Mas, I want to eat something" Denathan explained, stroking his distended stomach.
"What do you want to eat? I will obey your request" replied Aditya. Then the man stroked his wife's stomach.
Denathan and Aditya were sitting next to each other on the sofa, far ahead of them was a flaming television and showing the evening news.
"I want to eat fruit" Denathan replied, smiling.
"Honey, no one's selling fruit. The others." Aditya did not want to obey his wife, only there was no seller of fruit when it was night. Especially now that it's eight in the evening.
"No need to know, I want fruit." Denathan was a little whimpering. I don't know, why he really wants to eat fruit, maybe because of the baby in the womb. Cravings term.
Aditya realizes his wife's gurgle like a man cravings. "You're craving, huh?"
Denathan smiled faintly. "Yes, Mas. I really want to eat fruit. I haven't eaten that for a long time either."
Aditya was silent for a moment. His mind wandered somewhere, remembering where he had met a fruit seller at night. Unfortunately Aditya did not remember the place. His mind returned home, and immediately remembered Bi Etik. Maybe the middle-aged woman can make his wife fruit. There are still some fresh fruit stored in the refrigerator.
"What if Bi Etik alone makes you fruit? Maybe Bi Etik can?" ask Aditya.
"Yes, Mas. Ethics can, really," Denathan replied and smiled. Bi Etik once made a fruit dish and it tasted really good.
Aditya stood up, intending to ask Bi Etik for help to make Denathan fruit. "You wait here. I'm going to the kitchen first."
"Yes, Mum."
Aditya went down to the first floor and headed to the kitchen and called out the name Bi Etik. "Auntie, Ethical!"
Bi Etik who was in the room immediately went out of the room in a hurry when his master called him. "Yes, Den, what's up?" he asked when he was in front of Aditya.
"It just so happens that Bibi is here" Aditya said so relieved. Then the man again said, "Bi, can you please make my wife fruit?"
"Fruit test, Den?" para Bi Ethics to ensure.
"Yes, Bi. Rujak fruit, Auntie can't?"
Bi Etik fell silent for a moment then nodded. "Yes, Den. I happen to be able to."
"Good, Bi. So I don't need to go out to buy a ramjak" Aditya replied with a smile.
Then Aditya followed Bi Etik's steps towards the kitchen. Arriving there, Bi Etik immediately prepared spices for the fruit, while Aditya prepared the fruit stored in the refrigerator. There are watermelon, mango, pineapple, cucumber, and jicama. Coincidentally the fruits Aditya bought just two days ago, so it still looks fresh. Aditya peel and cut the fruits with small sizes according to the instructions from Bi Etik. If I'm honest, this is the first time Aditya will make fruit.
"I've cut it into pieces, Bi. How then?" ask Aditya while showing the pieces of the fruit that are in the container.
"If you need the fruits to be washed first, Den," replied Bi Etik in a soft tone.
Aditya finished washing the fruit along with Bi Etik which has finished making fruit spice.
"It's over, Bi?" ask Aditya when he saw the spice rujak that seemed ready to be served.
"Yes, Den. The roof is ready" replied Bi Etik.
"Yes, this is what I brought to the room, yes" said Aditya while taking herbs placed in the container.
"Yes, Den. Non Denathan can't wait."
Aditya laughed a little in response to Bi Etik's words. Then he said, "Yes, Bi. Denathan is very close to fruit."
Then Aditya brought herbs and fruits that had been cut and washed, to his room. Soon Aditya went into the room and met Denathan who was sitting quietly on the sofa.
"Look, Honey. What did I bring?" aditya said while showing the fruit in front of Denathan.
Denathan smiled happily. His desire was finally in order. "Well, thank you, Mom. I have made me fruit. It must be delicious," said Denathan. Rujak bua in front of him seemed tempting.
"Yes together, this is Bi Etik who makes the spice. I'm the part that cuts the fruit," Aditya replied while picking a piece of mango and then applying it to the finished spice. Then the man ate it. Instantly his tongue wriggled in pleasure. "Hmm, that's delicious. The roof fits."
Denathan smiled broadly as he felt the fruit spice fit his taste, not spicy but there was a savory and delicious taste. "Yes, Mas. It's delicious."
The two of them continued to eat the fruit. Aditya ate it more. His wife was cravings, but the man was cravings. It's really funny.
A few minutes later, they had finished enjoying the fruit. Then Aditya cleaned up the dirty container and took it to the kitchen for cleaning. Not long after, Aditya returned to the room with a drink.
"You drink first," said Aditya as he placed the teapot and glass on the table.
"Yes, Mum." Denathan poured water into a glass and drank it.
"Where? Have you been relieved to eat fruit?" ask Aditya.
"That's great, Mas. Thank you" Denathan said, smiling.
Then the woman leaned her head on the shoulder of her sturdy husband. Denathan smiled faintly. Aditya acted with Denathan's shoulder and his right hand stroked his wife's stomach. There is life in it.
"You've been five months in your stomach, you're born fast, son. Papa can't wait for you" Aditya told his son-in-law in Denathan's stomach. Then the man kissed Denathan's stomach long enough. It looks so romantic.
Denathan smiled faintly and replied, "Mas, may our child be born healthy."
Aditya stroked his wife's cheeks and said, "Aamiin, dear. We pray with God, that our future children will always be fine in the womb until birth."
Denathan and Aditya then embrace each other. Inter-channel love and affection. Passing each other's confidence on themselves. And introduce themselves to their future children later. With a hug, the possibility of the fetus in the womb Denathan, can feel a warm embrace from his papa. Not to rule out the possibility, the fetus was smiling in the womb of his mother.
"Son, Papa will greet you with joy when you are born" Aditya whispered in Denathan's ear. Makes the wife shiver.
