Jogja, You & Memories
Increasingly Whole

Two months later.

No day goes by without Dominic and Pasty Dwayne in my world as if reborn. The series of events continues to happen full of surprises and sucks in the business world and this conglomerate. I've even gotten used to seeing or hearing the ceaseless babbling of a silver granny every day about how Dominic and I started stories full of emotion and adrenaline.

Pasty Dwayne who first understood me and Dominic was a former adventurous boy flabbergasted with his mouth agape then like blowing up the story of his youth he told. Fiery and happy for the story he experienced, almost like us but more wild in his hometown—Michigan—until he met his soul mate from Singapore.

On his wheelchair in the back of the house. Pasty Dwayne rejoiced over the story he told me until I understood why he was so thick now.

I stared amusedly at Dominic beside him, amazed at his favorite grandson who every day did not want to lose me for a moment but sometimes he felt lazy with me by his side.

“So now you want to accompany me no, Dom?” askaku after grandma went into the house to rest with the help of Mbak Iyah.

Dominic looked thoughtfully with his jaw moving to the right-left and his gaze towards the clear sky. His favorite sky, full of clouds.

“You now think a lot, a lot of considerations. Did you ever have to think as hard as that rock? Why the hell Dom, lately you stay away.” added me because he was silent.

Dominic grinning. “While it feels now, Ras.”

“Any how? Your love for me is starting to fade? Add bosen?” tukasku. “Or are you not sure I love you?”

I was attacked with misgivings, what might be two months that we lived without the slightest pause does not show that I have had it with a new feeling

Dominic rubbed his warm lips against my cheek. “Not that, chicken noodles. But I have a hard time feeling homesick now.” He smiles.

“I want to feel the longing for you, Rastanty.”

I grin, some people are interested in seeing the person who adored her every second in a time that can not be repeated, but why this man wants to feel longing? Strange.

”So that means starting today I do not need to join your work? I'm at home?”

Dominic nodded like a obedient child.

I looked at Dominic with half my turbulent curiosity. ”You don't have a problem with me, do you, Dom? Or are there problems that you hide in the office so I don't think?”

I touched his thigh. ”What's all fine in the office?”

Dominic pursed his lips and covered his face with his palms.

“I don't know, Ras.”

I rubbed his back, trying to calm down even though I was not calm myself. It's not funny how I calmed Dominic when I was struck by satirical anxiety myself.

“Let me ask you what the problem is if you don't want a story, Dom.”

Dominic held back the edge of my shirt and I immediately turned to “Your garden is still intact in the dressing cabinet.”

I glanced at him, smiling carefully.

“You noticed that, Dom?” I asked while sitting next to him.

Dominic looked at me with beaming eyes, “Not that, Ras.” He shook his head while putting his hands on my shirt. His thumb rubbed my belly button while smiling.

”You should have come a month, Ras. You pregnant?” Dominic berkehem's.

I was attacked by feelings of unreason and misbehavior and other feelings that make me can only smile carelessly. Dominic quickly cupped my face after.

“You're hiding something from me?”

“Gak, yes!” sahutku fast. “Every day I wait for my pants there are red spots, at that time there was a little spot continues to be none until now. I still hesitate to say it, afraid you are worried and the house is excited. I'm lazy hoopla.”

Dominic pinched my cheek while grunting. “So you want to make all the houses more bitter because you are pregnant but you let?” seriously said.

“Not that, Dom. I went to the hospital when I made an excuse to go for a walk. I have goosebumps, I am pregnant, but I am still the same as you.” I said while holding his hand.

Dominic banged his forehead on my forehead. Our noses touch, smell each other and send a warm feeling. For a moment I could see the twinkle of his eyes glazed over.

“Same, Race. I like everything that's in you. Transparently. But the little one needs to be taken care of.”

“I take care, I take vitamins, milk, fruits, and vegetables every breakfast.” I answer do not want to lose.

“And you intend to hide the contents of your womb until it is big? Without involving me, his father who is very handsome and works hard every day? Our families? Come on, mi amor! You can't have it yourself.”

I smiled bitterly. “Sorry... I want to feel it for a while until I'm sure the little guy is really growing and I'm fine. I'm healthy, Dom. Don't worry.”

“We're going to the hospital!” Dominic standing. “Pak... Mr. Tedy, ready for the car!” he shouted as he passed under a cempedak tree while carrying a cup of coffee.

Mr. Tedy nodded as he walked out through the door of the white-painted trellis into the courtyard of the house.

I followed Dominic into the house, in front of the stairs decorated with two ceramic pots as tall as me on the side. Dominic turned around, he stood looming as he extended his hand to hold my head.

“You wait under.”

”Why? He... don't think I'm weak, Dom!” eyes seriously.

“This is a punishment because you hid it from me for weeks, Ras!” Dominic melengos, a minute's interval Reno down from his room wearing a golf suit.

I lowered my folded hand while shaking. “Ren, when did you marry?”

“Dih... ketangsaran granny.” Reno grunting. “Lagian Mbak why wait for stairs? Don't have a job? How do you want to play golf?”

“Can't! Rastanty had to go to the hospital.” Dominic said as he descended the stairs quickly.

Reno's face looks changed. “Mbak pain?”

“No, ngawur.” Sergah Dominic, burying Reno's anxiety as soon as possible while pushing back his sister's shoulder. “Rastanty late coming month.”

“Widiwwww, there will be a baby in this house. Finally... grandma can stop asking when I married!” Reno greet me, “Happy Ma'am, mas. I'll buy you a car gift.”

I hissed and watched him leave whistling and my hand received a change of clothes from Dominic.

Five minutes after wearing the pink over-the-knee dress is somewhat biege and the boxer is dark blue. Dominic combed my hair painstakingly like a haircut salon employee.

”We leave.” He took my hand like he was holding his fragile grandmother.

To be honest, this is what I didn't like a little bit when they knew I was pregnant. Excessive attention to the confinement of my broken soul.

Hospitals.

We waited in front of the gynecology examination room while occasionally staring in the middle of the back and forth of hospital employees and people on medication.

Dominic whispered softly. “You gemesin.”

My nose is shrinking. ”Basic labil.”

“Not labil.” Dominic kelit fast. “I feel something has changed from you, Ras. Some of these days. The way you smile, the way you avoid, the way you reject me makes me conclude you may be tired of the present situation. You're the boss, so it's more than you who stay away from me who rest... Rest bother you.”

I've never heard Dominic say that softly until it felt like my whole body was watered by the warmth of his every word.

I clasped Dominic's hand while smiling casually.

”That's how I kept him from his greedy father and couldn't stand it. Now I'm not entirely wrong.” I said lightly.

“Stay wrong Race, the fruit of my hard work is when I can not understand.” Dominic sneered with an arm that had landed on my shoulder.

Before long, a doctor's assistant called our names on the doorstep.

With passion and a beaming face, Dominic's good looks cause the assistant doctor to smile while observing his shoulders and biceps, making everything seem to make the nurse's work more enthusiastic.

Dominic took my hand. Explaining the contents of his heart that he had just experienced for the last hour in front of the doctor who was preparing to examine me.

I lay, covering my face with both palms as the ultrasound swirled around my slippery, cold stomach.

“How is the doctor's mother?” dominic asked even before the examination was over.

The series of answers are explained calmly and in detail. Dominic suddenly kissed me on my forehead.

“Finally grandma can go home, Ras.” He sniggered in my ear.

My stomach is shaking withstanding laughter. I cupped his cheek with my right hand. Feeling his new brew growing and it was laughable.

“Let my grandma nemenin, Dom.”

Dominic interrupted for a moment and then shook his head with a smile.

“Serious, Race? You're the most annoyed person at home the same behavior grandma.”

My laughter slipped. I got up, straightened my hair and sighed.

“I'm serious, grandma will be much happier in her old age and give me many gifts. He's... Pinter, am I now?”

Dominic stuttered and gave his best smile before exiting the obygn room holding my hand.

Not wasting time he took me to a corner that looked lonely. Dominic grinning. “A pregnant now.”

I opened my lips and closed my eyes. ”It turns out I'm also with my own best friend, Dom. Hi...” I grimaced.

“I can't wait to crav..”.

He stuck out his tongue and did not blink an eye for a moment. “Whatever it is, I'm glad you want to hang out with Grandma Silver, Ras. Thanks.”
