Shaka stood on the edge of the glass door facing towards the side courtyard. Staring at the storm of green leaves blown by the wind. Seeing the leaves it felt very crowded because it was crowded with other leaves, as tight as his chest which is now rumbling violently.
Shaka was still unmoved when the door of the room opened. No sound, no turning, and no movement at all. The current position of Shaka is wrong position stone is really perfect.
Nimas did not make a sound either, he chose to sit on the edge of the bed facing Shaka. She knew her husband must be disappointed and angry, she was only able to look down at the floor as if he was following her because of his wrong actions.
"Why are you doing this?" Shaka folded his hands in front of his chest.
"I just want to know what's wrong with me, Mom. I know you wait patiently, you are not in a hurry, you do not mind this situation. But it's a burden to me as a woman, Mas. I just make sure I'm healthy. Because I thought I'd calm down if I knew where I was."
"Now are you calm? Just calm down with your health, right? You calmly hide something this big?"
"That's not what it means, Mom. I was wrong, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done this."
"If you don't know this paper, you won't apologize either. Have you forgotten the same foundations and principles we have in our households?" Shaka turned his body towards Nimas and sat down beside his wife.
"It's not a small thing, Deck. This isn't kidding. Why does it have to be like this? That was all talked about first. Discussed together, discussions, there should be no private among us. How many years have we been married, anyway? Why is it still this way?"
"I'm keeping this a secret because I don't want to make you sad, Mom. I'm afraid you're thinking nothing."
"Mas can't believe you're like this. From here I know that the problem is Mas, not you. So now what do you want? What do you expect from this useless man?"
"Don't say that, Mom. Why are you thinking that way? Please don't do this." Nimas is getting sobbing.
"How should I be? How's Nimas?"
Whether consciously or not, Shaka who was too disappointed because he felt cheated called his wife by just a name without frills his favorite call.
His chest grew increasingly rumbling when he saw Nimas sobbing. He actually did not want to behave like this, but wouldn't it be natural for Shaka to be angry and disappointed? He still had a feeling that could be hurt anytime if anyone hurt him.
"Mas, we can still try. I'm healthy, it doesn't mean you're the one with the problem. As you often say, that sustenance will never come wrong. We have not been given sustenance in the form of offspring. Don't get discouraged just because you see one side."
"You can talk that way because you're not in my position. Don't teach me anything else while you yourself can't appreciate me."
Shaka left Nimas with a hard-earned anger that he faded finally sticking out as well. Nimas pursues the husband's steps, but Shaka's broad footsteps are unable to be pursued by Nimas.
"Wait a minute, Mas. Don't leave in anger, I beg you, Mom!" Nimas attempts to stop Shaka's car, but the woman's speech is only considered wind past by Shaka.

At seven o'clock in the night, Shaka was on a lake quite far from his home. He needed silence and darkness, circumstances that he felt were right enough to describe his present mood. He sat on the edge of the lake staring at the water that felt quite soothing.
How broken he is now. He thought what sins he had committed in the past until he was punished like this. Tears are a silent witness to how useless this is as a man.
"From the results of this examination, the liquid belonging to the Father is slightly diluted. This makes it difficult for couples to get pregnant. It's hard, sir. Not being able to get pregnant. Dilute liquid does not mean you are infertile, let alone barren. This can be overcome by healthier lifestyle changes, ranging from diet, exercise, adequate rest, not too stressful."
"So I still have the possibility to have children?"
"It's possible, it just takes patience, effort, and prayer. The possibility of getting pregnant must be there, just a little long and need a struggle. Don't be discouraged. We all have flaws in different things. Right, right?" The bespectacled male doctor gave encouragement to Shaka, as a fellow male, the doctor could feel what Shaka experienced was not an easy thing for him to live with.
The conversation that he had just passed this afternoon honestly made his heart rumble. Although in his heart he assured that he could still have children. Although he had to be patient and wait, on the other hand he still felt useless as a human being.
The man was still sitting quietly without movement. His gaze was still the same looking forward with a blank look. He did not care about the phone that was vibrating incessantly. All he wanted to do at this moment was calm down and himself without anyone accompanying.
While elsewhere, Nimas was frustrated and did not stop crying because of her husband who did not come home. I don't know how many times she sent a message and called her husband, but there was no response at all and it made Nimas more difficult.
"Nimas, leave Shaka alone. He must have been hit with what you did without his permission." Mr. Malik who just found out what happened is trying to calm his son-in-law. While Ms. Marissa only worried about Shaka without caring about the mistakes and also her daughter-in-law.
"Some of you are also strange Nimas, if you do not want my child does not know what you are doing. Why don't you just throw it away or burn it just the results of your examination. Your intentions seem to demean my son."
"Oh God, Ma. The results of the examination were stored neatly in a place that was impossible for Shaka mas to know of its existence. If Mama is not a fad, do not rese, and Mama's hands are not ignorant. There's no way that paper's under the couch."
"Cock your mouth so lightly throw the blame at me."
"Yes, Mama was wrong, right? If you don't pressure me because I'm not pregnant, I won't go to the doctor. I never had the thought of going to the doctor before my mom kept pushing me. Mas Shaka and I have always believed that we will have children someday. We'll wait patiently and Mama breaks my patience as a woman."
"Silence you are Nimas!"
"I will not be silent now, less silent if I have been under pressure from Mama. Either that directly or through Mas Shaka. My mother always presses me with her words. Reveal my shortcomings in front of your friends. Not enough with that, Mama influenced Mas Shaka to give me various foods and drinks so that I could get pregnant immediately. Which woman isn't depressed if treated that way by her own mother-in-law?"
A pair of eyes and a pair of ears that they were unaware of all heard and clearly saw the dispute between the two women.
