As promised Arfan, the following week Elnaz took the road. But not to the mall or the park, but to his hometown.

"This name is not a street, but a vacation, home village. Kok suddenly, Kak" cried Elnaz between happy and upset.

"Yes we haven't been home in a long time, El. The last time I went home was just like my grandmother died" Arfan said, putting some of her stuff and Elnaz's stuff in a small suitcase because they didn't carry a lot of luggage.

"Sister, the lack of El's clothes that are carried" said Elnaz when he saw Arfan had closed his suitcase.

"And at home your many clothes, Princess" replied Arfan then locked his suitcase.

"Oh, what about Arfan, look at El's body..." Elnaz turned his body in front of Arfan while in the hands of Elnaz there was already a blue dress whose intention he wanted to wear but it turns out the dress was tight of course because of the weight of the body of Elnaz the more the day goes up.

"Why your body? Still beautiful, sexy, and definitely seductive" said Arfan while grumbling mischievously.

"Iihhh, Brother Arfan.." whining Elnaz upset "Fat, Brother. El is fat, clothes that at home must have been on small" whining his annoyed. As usual, he was also easily provoked by his emotions even just because of a small thing like this.

Elnaz stood in front of the mirror, he pouted because his body was really getting stretched, his stomach was also already bloated.

Arfan approached Elnaz and hugged her from behind, Arfan wrapped his arms around his wife's waist which, to be honest, was widening, but Arfan did not lie when he said he liked the body of Elnaz more contained, for his Elnaz looks very funny and adorable. Arfan stroked the belly of Elnaz, where his growing child was developing there.

"You are beautiful, my Queen" whispered Arfan in his wife's ear, Arfan tucked the child's hair that bothered his wife was softly "The most beautiful woman in the world" Arfan said again which of course makes Elnaz's cheeks immediately reddened, he blushed shyly and his lips singed a shy smile, what else when Arfan peeked his cheeks are getting softer.

"The sexiest woman I've ever met" praise Arfan again which certainly makes Elnaz immediately float high, he said, her husband really knows how to make Elnaz float and feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Elnaz looked down in shame, but Arfan flanked Elnaz's chin with his fingers and forced Elnaz to look at Arfan from the reflection of the mirror in front of him. The two gazes met and locked each other.

"Look at those eyes, My precious. The eyes that I always want to look at every time I open my eyes in the morning, the eyes that I always miss, the eyes that have a thousand and one magic that makes me feel the beautiful thump in my heart, in my heart, every moment"

"So sweet boy" muttered Elnaz, then he turned around and looked directly into Arfan's eyes.

"El to fear, what if later brother Arfan becomes bitter with El? What if this sweet is over so that later Big Brother will be tired and bored"

"No, dear.." Arfan quickly sergeant "It won't be like this, because of his sweet sister's on sister's wife, halal lover's sister. And of course because of love. Brother does not mean to seduce you, Brother just wants to say what you feel, as a form of love for the mother-to-be of the child"

Elnaz smiled again, putting his head on her husband's chest.

"Most men will cheat when his wife is pregnant, it could be the reason because his wife is no longer beautiful and can no longer serve him in bed as usual" said Elnaz "El's in the mind, hehe..."

"Well..." Arfan certainly immediately laughed at the silly words of his wife, "You mostly watch soap operas and read novels, darling" said Arfan while menoel tip nose his wife.

"And you said, brother is not a bastard" Arfan said.

"Sister, our flight is one and a half hours away" Elnaz said as he unintentionally glanced at the wall clock.

Both are equally prepared, although in the midst of the busyness, Elnaz still whine about his clothes getting tighter.

"Let's go shopping there, honey"

Meanwhile, the Elnaz family and the Arfan family are preparing for the reception of Arfan and Elnaz.

The brother-in-law and brother-in-law are also better now, and they are equally supportive of Elnaz and Arfan in living their household.

"Let's El stay with me, Ma'am" Isna said to Yuni who is currently cooking rawon, because his word Elnaz wants to eat rawon later. Mr. Malik is currently at the airport to pick up his daughter and daughter-in-law.

"Don't, Is. Let Elnaz stay with me, but my daughter-in-law is here. She must have asked for this later, so I wanted to take care of her, because she was pregnant with my granddaughter" said Yuni, who was most enthusiastic about Arfan and Elnaz's return, the reason is of course because Elnaz was pregnant with his granddaughter.

"Yes, it's okay" replied Isna later.

"Papa.." cried Elnaz girang, he rushed into the arms of his father.

"How are you doing, son? Your content is healthy, right?" asked Malik then he kissed Elnaz's forehead fondly.

"We're good, Pa" said Elnaz "Mama Isna and Mama Yuni how is she?"

"They're good, son. Now they're at your in-laws' house, cooking rawons for you. You said cravings for rawon, huh?" asked Mr. Malik then he embraced his daughter and took her to the car, Elnaz walking in the middle between her husband and her father. Two of the most important men in her life.

"Heavy cravings, Pa. Earlier on the plane had slept for a while, when he woke up he said until the dream of eating rawon" said Arfan who made Papa Elnaz laugh.

"Later you can eat rawon as much as you, rawon made by Mbak Yuni delicious, it's a recipe from your grandmother" said Mr. Malik, he opened the door for Elnaz in the back, he opened the door for Elnaz in the back, Elnaz came in and sat there sweet.

"Ashik, it must be as good as made by grandma" said his girang.
