This afternoon Bayu gathered all his servants in the middle room. Meanwhile, Prita covered her own face with her hands. She hoped that her husband would not need to over-act with his current condition.
She said she wanted to announce the news of her pregnancy to the rest of the house. According to him, it does not need to be done because later they will all know. Why should everything be announced, Prita so embarrassed.
"This morning I gathered you because there is important news that I want to convey."
All house servants ranging from bodyguards, drivers, cooks, gardeners, caregivers, to washers and cleaners, listen carefully to what their employers want to say.
"The lady of your house is currently pregnant."
Hearing the news of Prita's pregnancy, everyone looks happy. They were already somewhat suspicious of Bayu's treatment of his wife for two weeks that seemed excessive. In the house he often carried his wife as if he did not let his wife walk alone.
"I hope you treat him very well, yes. Take care of my wife and my future son."
"Good, Sir."
"Horay.... Livy wants a sister.... "
"What sister?" ask Livy.
"In her mother's belly, Livy has her baby, little one."
"It's dede.... " Livy showed me the stuffed toy she was holding.
Leta pinched Livy's squeamish in her sling. The boy did not understand what his nanny was saying. But, she was only smiling from being teased by her nanny.
"Livy, come with daddy. Let's get your brothers from school."
Bayu takes Livy from Leta's sling. The boy is now used to Bayu and occasionally takes part in calling him 'daddy' like his brothers. At first, Livy did not want to be with Bayu who was still unfamiliar and looked creepy for him.
"Mas, let me just carry Livy." Pinta asked as she followed Bayu to the outer courtyard.
"Don't you also bring our baby."
"Our baby's still as big as a bean, Mas.... I'm still strong enough to just take Livy."
"It's even more dangerous. Our baby is very young, if Livy weighs on your stomach, then he can come off. You have to take good care of your pregnancy."
Prita snorted, according to her husband's behavior was excessive in the face of her pregnancy. In fact, she herself who underwent the pregnancy seemed ordinary. This fourth baby is not as troublesome as the previous pregnancy. Usually in early pregnancy he feels nausea, this time not at all. So she herself was still surprised that she was pregnant.
The thing that made her want to laugh the most every night when she saw her husband desperately resisting his urge to hook up. He always seemed restless, his sleep was not calm. Often her husband was forced to take a bath at night.
Until Prita who volunteered to serve her husband, but was rejected. She said she was afraid that anything would happen with the baby. In fact, the doctor also does not matter as long as you are careful.
Bayu is really like a new father who is even afraid of facing his wife's pregnancy. Maybe he forgot his wife had more experience with pregnancy than he did.
The books Bayu reads are also related to pregnancy and childcare. Likewise, videos that are watched for hours in the workspace, it is not far from how to babysit small children. Even though their baby is still long enough to be born.
"Mas, our baby's not that easy to take off. He was also lined with a sturdy uterine wall. I have been pregnant before too. Be redundant.... "
"Here let Livy get me. It is even more dangerous if you drive while holding it. We can all be fucked."
"No, I can."
"Then I drive, yeah.... "
"Can't!" firmly Bayu.
"Yes, let Livy have me on the bench. It's not gonna be anything."
"All right.... " Bayu relented, "Livy, you be careful, in your lap. There's the baby's dede."
"Yes, Daddy."
"Smart kid."
Bayu lifts Livy's body and moves him to Prita's lap carefully. Then, he drove his car to Daniel and Dean's school.
*****
After picking up Daniel and Dean from school, Bayu takes his little family to the beach. After all the problems are over, Bayu wants to enjoy most of his time with the family. While all the office business he had handed over to his men.
Only now did he feel the beauty of having a family. Having a day with a beautiful and meek wife and cute kids makes her feel perfect. It was as if he had found the purpose of his life that he had never found.
He hopes that his family life will be harmonious and happy forever. His love remains intact with Prita until death separates. Watching her children grow up to achieve success in their respective lives. Bayu did not want to miss those moments for a second.
Bayu leaves his old world full of darkness for a world filled with love and hope. Until he dies, he will not regret his life decision. Although the treasure is not as abundant as before, but when every day he feels happy when he sees his family, the pile of money is also not so meaningful. He still felt quite rich with the treasures he had. What is more valuable than that is his family.
"Is it true that you're pregnant?" daniel asked curiously after his father said that there was a baby in his mother's stomach.
"But how come Mama's stomach is still small, huh?" Dean followed curious while stroking his mother's stomach is still flat.
"The baby in here is a kid, Dean. Later the day also the mother's stomach becomes bigger."
"I want a boy's sister, Ma." asked Dean innocently.
Prita just smiled at him, "What's the big brother?"
"Let's play like Brother Daniel, Ma. If a sister is a stuffed toy."
"Daniel wants a little brother or sister?"
"I? It's up to Mama."
"Said Brother Daniel says it's up to Mama, Mama wants girls what boys?"
Prita smiled back. He lifted Dean up and put him on his lap and hugged him. Dean also seems to be spoiled when he finds out his mother will have another baby. Maybe there was a little worry in his mind that the affection he would get was less.
Though, it should be Livy who is spoiled because she is the smallest child. In fact, it is the second child who has a different behavior. Livy still likes to play sand with Daniel and Bayu not far from where he sits.
"Honey, you can't choose to have a boy or a girl. Because the one who gave the baby to the mother's stomach was God. So, you'll also know you were born."
"Later Dean help mom take care of baby sister, yeah.... "
Dean let go of his mother's embrace. He looked at the face of the woman who became his mother with a sulking look, "Ma.... If the baby's sister was born, Mama would still hug and carry Dean, right?"
As Prita guessed, the most brilliant child had a melancholy and spoiled side. Dean usually acts like a brave and independent child is now actually a child who is afraid to lose the affection of his mother.
"Of course, honey. Dean is also my mother's favorite son. Of course I'll carry you if Dean wants to."
"Keep, the baby's sister later who's carrying?"
"There is also Kak Leta, Kak Rahma, and many servants at home can hold a baby sister."
"Dean does not want yes if Mama only loves baby sister.... "
"No, Honey.... Mama loves all the mama's kids. We all love each other."
"Deans.... Daddy caught the crab."
Dean turned his head towards his brother who was enthusiastic about what he saw.
"Here look! The crab has three!" Daniel pointed at the waterhole his father had made to lay the crab.
Without a second thought, Dean immediately ran towards Daniel to see the crab there.
Bayu deliberately tied the claws of the small crab he caught so as not to hurt people. Her children shouted in excitement just by looking at the little aquatic beast alone.
"Don't lose the bond, yeah. It's a danger, it can hurt hands." Bayu's message.
"Yes, Daddy." answered his three children compactly.
Bayu turned to Prita who was sitting alone three meters away from him. He let his children play, as he approached his wife and hugged her.
Prita the arrival of a big baby who does not know a place to make out. The beach where they are is quite crowded is visited by people. However, did not discourage Bayu to wrestle with his wife.
"Mas, many people will see, you know." Prita tried to remind me.
"Why indeed? We're here with three kids, they must know we're husband and wife."
"Yes, I'm ashamed, Mom."
Bayu let go of his embrace, he grinned looking at his wife's face, "Feel first you ever kissed my lips here, darling. You forgot, huh?"
Bayu has just recalled the embarrassing memories Prita once did in that place. At that time, Bayu threatened her not to drive him home if she did not want to kiss him at that place. If you remember that, really, Prita feels like a crazy person.
"Do we need to repeat it again? Looks like my wife has amnesia." seduced Bayu.
"Don't mess around if I don't want to tell you to sleep outside tonight" Prita said with a threatening smile.
"Haha.... Golly, Madam.... If it's for that one, I better give up."
Bayu stopped bothering Prita. He sat next to his wife while hugging his possessive waist.
They sat together while directing the same gaze towards the front, towards the three children playing and the afternoon sky that began to show its beauty on the horizon.
