A Reply to My Husband

Two Children

"How's Hanna doing?" ask Rania. But Hanna was quiet.

"Darling is he your friend? Why are you quiet?" ask her Mama. Hanna was silent.

"This ..." Rania held out a box containing a set of luxury jewelry specifically for babies. The mothers who ignored Rania were stunned to see the gift she brought. So did Hanna.

"My engagement asked me to hand over the gift directly to you."

"Thank you ... It's beautiful" said Herra Affandi, wife of Aaron Affandi, as she grabbed a jewelry box from Rania's hand. "This is ...?"

"I'm Rania."

Herra furrowed her brows and turned her head towards Hanna. "What is Rania ...?" Herra did not continue his sentence.

"I'm here with my fiance, Malik."

"Malik Hammani?" Herra.

Rania nodded. "Yes my fiance Malik Hammani."

"You mean you're here with Malik Hammani?!" asked Hanna who had ignored him since.

"Yes .. she's downstairs."

The mothers who had ignored Rania immediately changed their attitude after hearing that Rania was Malik's fiance.

"Oh ... This lady why didn't you tell me from earlier? Come join us ... Sit down" said one of them.

"Thank you, but I want to see the beautiful princess Hanna first." Rania sat down next to Hanna who was holding her baby.

"Oh .. he's so funny" said Rania.

"Looks like she doesn't look like her Papa, maybe more like her Mama" whispered Rania in Hanna's ear. Hanna's face flushed. He knew Rania was insinuating him.

Before long a middle-aged woman entered carrying a tray containing one cup of drinks, followed by Herra behind her. The middle-aged woman approached him and thrust the cup at him.

Rania received the cup.

"Thank you Widia" he said. I want to laugh but I am afraid of sin. Rania did not immediately drink the drink in the cup. A bad idea came to his head.

"Sorry, but I don't drink sweet tea, I just drink water. I'm on a calorie diet to keep my weight until the wedding day" said Rania arrogant. In her heart she laughed out loud as she could prank Widia.

When do I go on a diet?! Hmmmm... So it is true what Imah said.

"Mother Widia, please drink Miss Rania replaced by water only," pinta Herra. Widia's face looked really upset.

Meanwhile, the other mothers seem to be misbehaving since knowing who Rania is.

"Son Hanna, if you'll excuse me, we've been here long enough" said one of them.

"Loh .. why rush jeng anyway? Just had a little chat, too" replied Herra.

"Yes jeng, it's night. Tomorrow it will be connected again," said another. Then the mothers leave the room one by one, leaving Rania and Hanna with the baby.

Not yet they talk Widia has entered the room again with a glass of water. Without speaking, Widia immediately put the glass on the table. He intended to leave immediately after putting down the glass.

"How are you doing Widia?" greet Rania before Widia can step up. Widia did not answer just turning her head for a while and still left the room with a face that held back emotions.

"You must be happy to see how I treat her" Hanna said as she unintentionally looked at the faintest smile on Rania's lips.

"Yes ... I think I should thank you."

"The old woman spent a lot of money." Hanna's upset.

Rania laughs. "Are you sorry?"

Hanna did not answer.

It looks like Affandi is keeping his deal.

"Darling ... We're going home now." Suddenly Malik appeared at the door. There is also Affandi with his wife and also Barra. Hanna immediately wrongly looked at Malik.

"Now?"

"Yes now ... Do you still want to be here?" ask Malik.

"Honey ... This baby is very funny. I want to have a baby soon," said Rania made as much as possible.

Want to have a baby soon? Where is baby Rania? Shouldn't she be pregnant now or maybe she's already giving birth? But why is her body not like a woman who gave birth? Barra's.

The wedding day is getting closer. Rania started to stress over taking care of everything. Indeed they will not hold a massive party, maybe only nuclear family and close friends are invited, but still all require preparation.

Rania wants to release her stress by eating gelato at the restaurant Malik once invited her. But he was still busy so he would catch up after he was done with his affairs later.

Rania arrived at the restaurant first. As usual he had to wait for Malik to finish the new practice to catch up with him.

Rania was enjoying the tiramisu gelato presented before her when suddenly a man was sitting in front of her.

"Ran .. We have to talk."

Rania jerks. He thought Malik was sitting in front of him but it turned out to be Barra.

"There's nothing to talk about!" answer Rania ketus.

"How are you? How's our son doing?"

Rania was eager to throw the gelato she was eating into Barra's face.

"Now you ask me how I am and how is our son? Where have you been?!!"

"Rone ... I'm sorry. I know I was wrong. I also too outrageous to have kicked you out that night." Barra tried to explain. She tries to grab Rania's hand but Rania pulls her hand.

"Just keep your apologies, there's nothing I can forgive."

"Rone ... At least tell me how our son is? Is he a boy or a girl?"

"What cares about you?! Why didn't you ask that a long time ago. Why did you just now appear and ask?! Is your heart made of stone?!!" Rania furious.

"Yes .. I know I was wrong. That's why I want to apologize to you. I want my two children to know each other and be on good terms."

Rania laughed sarcastically. "Both your sons?!"

"Yes ... I have two children. Why why?!"

"Is that happy that you finally have a child?"

"Of course I'm very happy. I finally have a child. It's a shame one of my kids isn't with me."

"Do you know I lost my baby when you kicked me out that night?"

Barra's mouth was open in disbelief. "You must be lying so I don't ask my son!"

"I was stuck in the streets and you didn't ask me about the baby in my stomach? And now after months you come and ask how is your son?! He no longer has Barra!! What kind of man are you, Barra?!!"

"No Rania ... No way!!" Barra doesn't believe it.

"Can't you say?! What is impossible? Early in the day I walked for miles while carrying a bag and dragging a suitcase. Do you realize now that what you did to me was outrageous?!"

Rania had no power to hold back her emotions. Finally he ran away leaving Barra still unable to believe his words.
