“Just yes, I have to design a room for the baby Kak Rina.”
“Yes can't. Your taste is ugly. Still bagusan Mama.”
“Selera Mama it's old-school.”
“Eh make no mistake. Mama is slang, so know mining trend.”
"Yes but it's still authentic young man."
“Cannot. Mama's Grandma, it's not polite that as a Aunt you want to step in Grandma.”
“Ma..”
Rina rubbed Rista's back, hoping that her sister-in-law would succumb to her mother.Her ears were already sick to hear the quarrel of the child and Mama was just scrambling to make a room design for her son later.
“Nah. Rina aja agrees right..” said Santi with a face full of triumphant expressions.
“Iya deh yes..”
Rista finally gave up.
The three continued to eat lunch because the men were still busy with each of their jobs. Rista has just arrived. She came home after news that her sister-in-law was pregnant with her future niece. So happy, he wanted to spend the night with Rina before he had to return to the college routine he had just started. Currently they are at Santi's house because Rista refuses if she has to spend the night at her brother's house. She misses Rina very much but she refuses to spend the night at her brother's house, so now she drags her sister-in-law to come with her overnight at Santi's house.
“A little bit of food,” said Santi when he saw his daughter-in-law eating very little.
“Already full Ma,” honest Rina.
“But now you are not just eating for yourself. There are Mama's grandchildren who need nutritional intake as well.”
“But Rina is really full Ma,” said Rina assured.
“Masa anyway? Again pregnant when eating just that?” ask Santi not to believe it.
Lina simply responded with a sigh. In addition to being disrespectful, refuting his in-laws' speech is not an easy matter.
“Mama used to know pregnant portion of her meal directly told nambah.”
“Who told Ma?” ask Rina curiously.
“Ya all. But the most date grandma.”
“Whose grandmother is Ma?” rista was also curious.
“Ya Grandma mother Mama, yes Grandma mother deceased papa you,” replied Santi in a slightly different tone.
From here Rina felt there was something else, but she herself did not understand what was happening to her mother-in-law. So he tried not to analyze and rush to draw conclusions.
“E but the baby boy what girl is Kak?” rista asked after chewing the food that had originally filled his mouth.
“Ya does not know Ris, it is still 10 weeks,” replied Rina whose plate had been removed by ART which stood by not far from them since.
“Masa? Can I USG?”
“Continue you mean?”
Rista moved her hand to ask for time so that she could chew well the food in her mouth and swallow it before starting to speak. After his food was swallowed all over, it turned out that his throat still needed fluid to make him relieved. He then grabbed the water that had been available from the beginning, and drank it greedily.
“Ahhh, relieved..” Rista put the glass that is almost finished its contents. “Where was it?” ask her mom and sister-in-law.
“You discussed USG,” said Santi reminded.
“That's it,” said Rista flicked her finger.
“We USG yuk, I'm curious about the same sex candidate ponakan.”
“Ya doesn't look like a baby yet, it's still very small,” said Santi.
“But you can still be snooped, right?”
“Ya can't,” refute Santi.
“What the hell is a fuss..”
Spontaneously these three women turned their heads towards the source of the voice.
Rista got up and welcomed Rudi. Indeed on paper Rudi is his stepfather, but in fact he is his biological father. So maybe this is what makes Rista feel close to him even though until now all is still
thought he was Hendro's son, his papa friend who is now dead.
“You have been a long time?” rudi asked Rista who was hugging him.
“Emm, pretty damn it. Papa's clock is home?” asked Rista who broke away from Rudi's embrace.
“Papa plans to have lunch at home, uh it turns out to be late yes..”.
“Yeah, we just finished..” said Rista full of regrets.
Santi got up to his husband and son. “Mas just sit down, let me prepare food,” said Santi while taking off Rudi's suit and taking over the luggage.
“That let Rista aja Ma..”
Rista took Rudi's things that her mother had brought. Rudi smiled happily even though he did not have the courage to confess his sin to Rista.
When he was about to put Rudi's belongings, he was suddenly startled by the sound of a cellphone ringing loudly. After opening and looking around, Rista finally found her papa's phone in one of the suits' pockets. Without thinking much, Rista immediately grabbed it.
Rista felt her knees suddenly limp when she saw who was making this call with her papa. His number and his DP are still the same as the one he last saw 5 years ago. That picture is him who
he chose it and he also put it.
“What did you contact papa for? But why don't you ever call me?”
Instead of immediately handing the phone to Rudi, Rista actually sat down while looking at the screen of the phone that continued to light up. He had turned off his ring, so that there was only a picture of a man's hand holding tightly to a tiny hand which unfortunately was his hand.
Until the ringing stopped, RIsta did not want to also move from his position. His chest felt pain so much the feeling he held there. He endured longing, resentment, disappointment, anger, and I don't know what else had clearly succeeded in torturing him for so long.
If only Rista had not forgotten, he had blocked his communication access with Dedi, so with this great distance, of course Dedi would never have been able to communicate with him before Rista who opened his own access.
“Rista, Ris, Rista...!!!”
There was a loud cry from the familiar voice of Rista, he quickly got back up to the dining table with his parents and brother-in-law.

“Cancel all schedules today.”
“What?” Surprised Andre because he is now checking the files for a meeting that will be held soon.
Dika did not answer the surprise of his secretary. He actually took off his glasses and massaged his forehead that felt pulsating.
“You okay Boss?”
“I'm not feeling well. It feels like my stomach is being stirred,” the fad on Andre.
Andre frowning. “Mual?”
“Ndon't know. Where is the head of the client again.”
“Your all night stay up?”
“Nggak.”
"Keep why dong?"
“Whispering know not! Yes how I know, the sick person just now,” upset Dika because judging Andre's carelessness can not reduce the discomfort he feels.
Andre sighed. Not at home not in the office, his patience is really tested. “So you want how Mr Restu?”
“You to ENT only deh.”
“THT?” Andre seemed to weigh and think what the boss meant. He really does not know where there is an ENT place that has just been said.
“Gue which bego what the hell?” the flow that never found the bright spot of the purpose of his boss's words.
“Sekertaris Andre, maybe I can find another position if it looks like this position is no longer suitable for you. Because it would be very troublesome if I had to have a secretary who had hearing problems."
Andre ruffled his hair. God, I'm tired. Why should
convoluted, just say what he wants. Not yet I know which ENT it is, now he accuses me of hearing problems.
Seriate…
