Arrival of Adrian

         On a sunny morning, Adrian woke up with a nauseous stomach sensation. He immediately ran as usual to spit out his stomach.

           After coming out of the bathroom, Adrian felt his body feel weak. He put his body back on his bed.

               Dock dock

           "Adrian,ayo down breakfast." 

           Out of curiosity Oma Jayanti went into room , she found her granddaughter lying down oma jayanti also approached Adrian.

                "You're sick Adrian, why don't you say the same oma.?" Oma's hand fingered Adrian's forehead.

                "Not an oma. Adrian just wants to puke." 

                  "Come here Oma kerokin." Said oma Jayanti.

                   "Don't want oma, sick" said Adrian.

              "Was bro, sick.?"  If not this is not the holiday oma." Sayu suddenly appeared in Adrian's room.

           Mama Vera has told Bayu that Adrian is having problems with his health. Bayu is the one who will handle all office work.

              "Bay, please get me a coin in that drawer box ." The Pinta Oma Jayanti.

               "Ready oma."

               "Come on, undress you here oma kerokin." 

               "Ow, oma is sick slowly - slowly dong."  Adrian's complaint is on his stomach 

                "It's been slow Adrian. This time hurts, you're a real drag."  He said his hand pressed the coin against Adrian's back.

              "It's his name not scraped by oma, but on skin." Said Adrian grinning to endure the pain.

             "You're this really bad, want to heal.? Jayanti's oma said her hand was still actively scraping on Adrian's back.

             "Yes oma, Adrian is indeed bring kayak mother - mother again pregnant, ask for rujak, ask martabak, the ends are not eaten too." Sahut Bayu's.

         Adrian stared intently at Bayu.

               "Speak one more time, I fired you from Bay's company." 

             Bayu only chuckled in response to his cousin's threat. Where maybe Adrian will fire him, Adrian is the type of voter and difficult to find a suitable partner like his criteria.

              "Oh yeah, Adrian when do you want to get married.?" Oma this is old, it's time to hold the great-grandchild . Our families also need heirs, oma embarrassed to meet friends complex , they are all already great-grandchildren." Ima Jayanti said expectantly.

             The words pitched this command from oma , even then can be guessed Adrian must be his mama's wits . Her mother must have asked oma to persuade herself. Oma and her mama are really a complete package.

              Adrian only fell silent, his mind again shrouded in Alya's shadow. He thought of silly things that could not happen. If it is true that the child in Alya's womb is the tadpole that he left that night. He could not imagine what would happen in the future.

                  "Oh my god, if only oma knew that I had impregnated a child, I might be thrown into the deepest sea." Adrian clucked in his heart.

                 ****

          Old Adrian glued to the door. His hands were about to knock on the door. Adrian's eyes rotate around the vicinity, making sure Jonathan's address is correct.

               Tok tok tok tok 

           Not long after Alya opened the door. How surprised Alya was the man who stood before him the man who a few months ago had taken his chastity.

             Without being told to enter Adrian set foot into a house that is fairly simple.

           "I came here to ask you something.?"  Adrian stared intently at Alya.

             "Te..about what sir.?"  Alya replied with a trembling voice.

             Still with his head bowed, Alya did not dare to look at the man in front of him.Alya thought of the right answer, still ringing in the ears of Alya Adrian threat that night. If he were to tell the truth, would the person before him accept.

              "This is another boy, sir .!" Alya answered her hand squeezing the end of the shirt.

           Lying may be the only way that can save him.if Adrian to find out, who the father of the child in the womb does not rule out the possibility of Adrian will harm him, and the child in her womb.Alya will do anything to protect her child.

               "You're sure, what are you saying.!" Adrian's remarks intimidating.

          Alya was silent .Doubtful Alya nodded her head. He lowered his head back, hiding the tears that were about to fall on his cheeks.

            "Where is that man now, and who is he.?" Ask Adrian again.

            "I don't know who he is and where he is, I don't know him." 

          Adrian took a deep breath. He tried to remember the words of Puspa at that time. Alya is not a good woman. He was willing to sell himself just for the money. It just so happened that Adrian got the first one.

              "Well, my arrival just wants to make sure, of course you still remember my warning a few months ago, right.?" Keep your mouth shut lest anyone know what happened between us that night.!" 

               "I understand, sir." 

         Adrian was about to step out, suddenly there was a voice calling from outside calling Alya's name.

              "Who is he.?" The lyric of Adrian.

               "Maybe you've come home from work, if not you have this rental home, sir." 

                "Can you stand there for a minute." Alya's hand pointed towards the corner of the room.

            Adrian who was confused to hide where, he seemed afraid that his presence was known to people, finally Adrian according to just hide in the corner of the room behind the door.

             Alya who walked slowly because of the burden of her stomach that had grown, had stolen the attention of Adrian. Adrian just stared silently without a sound standing in the corner of the room.

             Standing up a woman with her looks who judges. Yep. Ms. Yuli, the owner of the house that Rani lives with and the mother of Lastri. Alya could already guess the arrival of Yuli's mother must have charged the rent that had been in arrears for several months.

               "Yes, yes, Miss Yuli." Alya tried to smile kindly.

               " Alya, don't pretend to be nice. I came here to collect rent, I'm asking for money now.!" 

         Without further ado, Yuli's mother expressed the purpose of her arrival.

               " Wait a minute, ma'am." 

                Alya goes into her room to take her savings which she saves for the cost of labor later.

              "Here, there's just this ma'am. How about later if I have money I pay off mom." Answer Alya.

               "It's okay, it's okay." Oh yeah, you're not working anymore, are you?" Ask Yuli's mother.

             Alya just shook her head slowly in response from Yuli's mother. Lucky at the moment the mother of Lastri and Rani is not at home . If Lastri's mom is still working and Rani still hasn't come home from school.

              Yuli's mother said goodbye after getting what she wanted.Adrian breathed a sigh of relief he came out of hiding.

               " Has he gone.?"  Adrian asked his eyes rotating around making sure no one.

               "Alright because I have no business with you. I'll get out of here, and remember.! What did I say.!" Adrian stared intently at Alya.

               Still with her head lowered Alya nodded her head.

                Alya's mood calmer with Adrian's departure, Alya shed his body to the floor, the tears that he had been holding since then finally spilled as well. Alya cried so much. Adrian's arrival rips through the wound he's trying to heal. 

           "I'm sorry mom, son. I'm powerless against your father." Alya said in between her tears. 

              Alya stroked her stomach which had been active since the arrival of Adrian, as if understanding the baby in the womb that it was her father who came to visit. Alya's sobs broke after Adrian's departure.
