"Of!"
"Hmmm!"
"Tomorrow Mom wants to attend a seven-monthly baby twin's. Surely now Mom is busy, we go home a little bit papa, huh?"
Brian nodded, closed the laptop and moved from his seat. He took the suit that was on the side of the chair pulled Byan's hand with a smile.
"We're going home now!"
Byan looked up, looking at her husband's face with a frown. "Om seriously? Om's work?" ask her.
"Yes, it's not for our baby, so we have to take part too, right?"
Byan nodded with a radiant face. Byan thought Brian wouldn't comply. Lately the company is busy, but if Brian wants to help his mother to prepare for the Thanksgiving event, Byan feels very happy.
On the way home, they stopped for a moment at a stand selling Elisabeth ice. A typical drink in the city of Bandung, Byan used to drink it when he was still in school, so it feels, he really wants to feel the sensation, sweet, savory, and cold ice cendol.
"Your doctor says you can't drink too much sweet stuff like this!"
Brian handed the ice cendol to his wife. Byan nodded with a big smile.
"Byan just wants to try it a little, there will be Om who spends the rest."
"Well, have a quick drink, lest I know you're buying a drink like that. You know that the Asian Tigers are very protective after finding out you're pregnant?"
"Ready Boss!"
Brian ruffled his wife's hair in dismay at the joy that Byan showed. Byan does have to maintain his diet well, the more often he drinks sweet drinks with high sugar levels, it will further increase the likelihood that the baby he is carrying will quickly increase his weight.
There were no snacks that Byan often bought while she was in school that she really hadn't eaten after becoming pregnant, and every time Byan bought such a snack, she said, Brian must prepare to become a garbage can that will consume all the food that Byan bought.
"We have arrived Sir!"
Brian nodded, after drinking the ice cendol that his wife left behind, Byan opened the car door and helped his wife to come down with him.
"Be careful!" said Byan propped up his wife's waist when he had closed the car door again.
"Well, it looks like a lot of people are in Om's house?" Byan noticed a row of cars that he believed were cars belonging to people closest to them.
"Hey! Don't hurry up!"
Brian ran after his wife when the pregnant woman just darted without any cue.
"Byan is fine Om!" yelled Byan as he raised his hand telling Brian not to worry.
"Assynnya!" Byan screeched as he reached the house, everyone who was busy blowing balloons also made the decorations in the living room look up when they heard Byan's voice.
"Well! You guys coming too?" said Byan staring at Navisa, Anandita, Tania and the others taking turns.
"Lo said Lo didn't want to hire people to do this, so we're the ones helping!"
Tania nodded when she heard Anandita's words. "Because of you, I'm pregnant and I'm going to join the kayak gini By!" Tania glared at Byan annoyed.
Byan laughing. "Yeah. It's your own fault, why come help if you're not sincere, I can help Mom."
"Eitttsss!" Anjani and Navisa held down Byan's arm as he was about to sit among the people who were making decorations to decorate one of the walls in the house.
"Don't do anything! Now sit down!" Anjani and Navisa lead Byan to sit on the sofa.
Byan sighed because he was not allowed to help. They've always been like this, their mouths sometimes mean but they actually love Byan.
"So Byan has to do what?" asked Byan with a clear face.
"Just sit! Want to make some juice?" tanya Anjani offers.
"No, Mother, Byan is full!"
Anjani settled down Byan full of probes, his eyes not blinking and instead staring at Byan getting sharper.
"Byan don't snack!" seloroh Byan who had understood with the gaze of his mother-in-law.
"Babys!"
Brian was slightly stunned to hear Byan who suddenly let out a high note at him. Did he do something wrong, he thought.
"Where's Bima brother?" ask Byan.
"I'm here!"
Bima plugged his head from the guardrail upstairs.
"Down! We play the game again, now Byan one team with Kak Bima!"
"Whose opponent is it?" tanya Bima ran towards the bottom floor.
"Om Brian same Om Dito."
"What?"
Brian looked at Byan about to protest because he knew very well that Dito was not good at playing online games.
"There is no rejection. The loser gets punished."
Brian hissing. But he still accepted the challenge from his wife, took off the suit he was wearing and threw it in any direction. He also pulled a tie around his neck so he could breathe more freely.
"Spirit By! You are the best!" Anandita squealed which made Tania dislike.
"Come Brother Dito, Brother can definitely, the same time pregnant women!" said Tania did not want to lose to Anandita. Everyone who is working suddenly becomes a supporter for people who are playing games. I don't know since when the Nugroho family home became very crowded like this.
****
The next day, everyone was again made busy preparing everything for the 7 monthly Byan event. The show was really made very simple, exactly what Byan wanted, they just invited the children of the orphanage to do the recitation, also invited the people closest to them.
"Wuahhhh, you're so beautiful!" Navisa saw Byan from top to bottom. The pregnant woman was wearing a long white dress with a matching hijab, and Brian, the man beside her was no less amazing, they look like a couple who want to do a photo shoot for a magazine or as a brand ambassador of the clothes they wear.
"You're also very pretty Na! Didn't Rendy come?" ask Byan.
"Sister Rendy again went out of town By. So can't come here."
Byan nodded. He looked around to see the people coming.
"Agnes!" murmured Byan saw Agnes standing near the entrance of their house.
"Of!"
"I'll drive you!" Brian who could not let go of Byan wherever the woman went to embrace Byan's waist led him to walk to meet the woman he had mentioned.
"Agnes why didn't you come in?" asked Byan to pull Agnes' hand so that the woman would not continue to stand like a statue of a doorman.
"I don't know anyone here By!"
Agnes felt uncomfortable because she could not invite anyone to chat.
"There's Aldi" said Byan, "the man!"
"Allen!"
Byan screeched a little asking Aldi to come closer to him.
"What's up By? You need anything?" ask Aldi.
Aldi glanced at Agnes at a glance, the person in the lyrics even looked down deeply, actually he was very embarrassed if he had to meet Aldi, his feelings were still the same, Agnes still loved the man. But Agnes tries to be ordinary, she does not want Aldi to know if she still expects him.
"No, please accompany Agnes, she doesn't know anyone here but us, you know for yourself how Anandita and Navisa are, they wouldn't like it if I told them to accompany Agnes!" Byan whispers. Aldi understood and accepted Byan's request.
While elsewhere, Anjani is pulling Bima's hand asking the man to welcome a special guest whom he deliberately invited for her to introduce to his son.
"What the hell Mother, Bima does not want akh, Bima does not like if I play with the tug of Bima like this."
"Of course, don't argue. I'm sure you'll really like it!" said Anjani still trying to pull Bima out of the door. "That's it!" point Anjani at a beautiful woman with a tall body as far as walking with a smile.
"Mother her!" bima looked at the woman without blinking.
