A week has passed since Anita's request to her husband, but there seems to be no answer from her husband.
And during this week her husband remained warm as usual just for the schedule of Hardi's return there was changed not five more but eight o'clock at night, with the reason for more work.
Anita just said she did not want to discuss, which will cause disputes, Anita at least likes to fight or argue, she better avoid.
Only I Anita kind of felt strange with her best friend Lina, almost every day contact her always ask the news and ask her circumstances.Lina more attention this end.
The sound of a vehicle entering her yard, Anita ran to meet Hardi's arrival, Anita was shocked to see the appearance of her husband who was a mess like a man out of nowhere.
"Why bang, why messy gini." asked Anita confused as she grabbed Hardi's hand and kissed him while taking Hardi's briefcase.
"What's wrong.we talked inside, I took a shower first yes.."sahut Hardi while walking away from Anita.
Hardi's behavior makes Anita a little confused, because it's not like usual..
And since coming home from night Hardi also never had dinner at home, and in a few months also Hardi never took him to the road, if it used to be almost every Sunday they walk, and in a few months, now never again.
But Anita understands , maybe because Hardi busy so free time is no, Anita also once demanded.Yes, the,..Anita is the kind of woman who accepts what it is.
After Hardi cleaned up with Anita's help, the two sat in the living room.
"Anita, regarding your request a week ago, 'Abang talked to mom."
"Did mom allow it!"
"Tomorrow mom will be here '
"o.." -...." Anita nodded.
"If you want to have children?"
"Abang would love to, but you don't know what to do."Hardi hugged Anita.
"Dear your darling."
"I love you too, Brother." Anita returned her husband's embrace.
There was a strange feeling in his mind, but he didn't know.
"Yes already bang, we rest aja, Abang tired right, daily work."
Hardi simply nodded and stood guiding his wife towards the room.
Tonight there was only silence between the two, Anita and Hardi drowned in their minds until drowsiness came to both.
Routine every morning Anita with a heart of flowers, because later in the afternoon her mother-in-law will come, she will also prepare a favorite meal of her mother-in-law.
"What time is mom here?" Anita asked after breakfast
"One afternoon, then the brother who picked up the mother replied Hardi
"Yes bang, long time no see mother."sahut Anita smiled warmly at her husband.
"Da to go, baby."Hardi hugged Anita tightly as if afraid of losing.
"Yes bang, heart of heart."
Anita looked at her husband's departure with a smile.
Time passed quickly, no sense of the clock wall already showed the hour one afternoon.Anita was restless waiting for the arrival of her mother-in-law everything was prepared.
The sound of vehicles entering the yard, as usual Anita always ran to welcome the arrival of her husband with a smile on her lips.
But Anita felt an oddity, her husband looked very tense and depressed.
"Bang.' Anita greeted Hardi, but Hardi just silently remained silent expressionless.
"What's the big deal.?"ask Anita worriedly.
Hardi remained silent no matter how long her mother-in-law got out of the car, Anita greeted her in-laws and grabbed her kissing hand, but Anita only got a cold response from her mother-in-law, Anita,inadvertently his eyes caught the figure following his mother-in-law down from the car.
A female. Anita recognizes him he is LiLian Anita's upperclassman first.
"Anita.you already know LiLian right?" asked her mother-in-law a little sniffly.
"Yes.known Ma'am."sahut Anita saw LiLian who grasped tightly the hands of her mother-in-law.
"Because you know it better." - her mother-in-law.
Anita noticed LiLian standing next to her mother-in-law and noticed LiLian's different appearance, it was obvious that LiLian was two-bodied, if according to Anita's estimates it might be between seven or eight months.
Anita still has not caught the situation around her who looks tense, especially her husband who looks pale.
"Mother go in first, sister LiLian as well." Anita asked while nodding.
Anita began to feel an uncomfortable air, she looked at her husband who was still still glued.
Hardi nodded his head, following his mother who first entered the house.
Anita saw her mother-in-law already sitting in the living room.
"Mother. eat first. yes.I have prepared lunch."ask Anita gently on her mother-in-law.
Rahmawati, Anita's mother-in-law stared intently at Anita.
"Mother isn't hungry yet, so sit down and talk to you Anita."
Anita just nodded and obeyed the request of Rahma-in-law, but her eyes were fixed on the hands of her mother-in-law who had never been out of LiLian's hands.
"A few days ago Hardi there conveyed your desire to remove the contraceptive right?" her eyes were fixed on Anita sitting in front of her.
"O. Yes Mom, do you agree?"asked Anita expectantly.
"Mom doesn't agree Anita!"
"Why Ma'am?" anita asked in a disappointed tone.
"It's better for me to be open now, because Hardi doesn't have the courage to say it."Rahma stared intently at Hardi who had been standing since.
Anita saw her husband who had been silent since.
"What is this Mom, please explain.?!"
"Well Anita, Mom objected that you were pregnant, because your husband will be troubled, there is no way he can help take care of two babies at once" Rahma said with a sigh.
"Two babies, what mother I mean, I don't understand." asked Anita confused.
"Yes.if you take off contraception, the one when you are pregnant and giving birth in the near future, various ways Hardi can divide the time, because soon LiLian will also give birth, as well,his gestational age is eight months."
"But what does this have to do with me, ma'am.?"
"Because LiLian was pregnant with your husband's child, Hardi." said Rahma casually without feeling the slightest burden.
Anita was surprised to hear the confession of her mother-in-law, like a bolt of lightning during the day, suddenly her body stiffened, her heart seemed to stop beating, her blood flow like it stopped, her face became reddened to withstand the turmoil of anger in her chest.
"This is how I felt all this time uncomfortable, they lied to me, my in-laws, my husband, my insensitive stupidity, apparently behind my kindness and my sweet smile in-laws stored a foul intention ,I should have realized that my in-laws had not liked me for a long time, two years apparently not enough to take my in-laws heart, ever since I knew that the woman beside my mother-in-law wanted me to be her daughter-in-law."anita murmured in the heart.
Anita tried to soak the anger in her chest.She should be able to control herself, do not look weak.Anita rubbed her hands against her thighs while looking at her husband who looked not wrinkled at all.
"Alright, if it's really mom's decision, it doesn't matter to me."sahut Anita was flat and calm.
Hardi was surprised to hear Anita's answer as well as Rahma and LiLian, Their calculations from the beginning set out will face Anita's tantrums that do not receive and will hear the swearing of rough swearing from Anita's mouth,but the fact is far from the assumption of Rahma, Hardi and LiLian.
But Anita's calm demeanor makes her in-laws angry, she actually wants Anita to get angry and rampage so it will be easy to get rid of her.
"As the problem is clear, mother better we have lunch, because I have prepared since then." said Anita while standing and walking towards the dining room.
The atmosphere of lunch was stiff, no one spoke.After Anita cleaned the dining table Rahma called out to her
"Anita from today LiLian lives in this house, because of the age of the womb that has entered the eighth month, immediately giving birth, someone must take care of her, especially her husband" Rahma said without feeling to Anita.
Anita who heard her father-in-law's words actually wanted to be angry, but she remembered that anger would only cause trouble and would make her look down on her.
Anita looked at LiLian who seemed to be struggling spoiled at Hardi, the sight was really painful to her eyes, if the floor where she stood in two wanted to enter the bowels of the earth and would not experience this pain.
"Whatever my mother says, if it's the best for me.."sahut Anita flat.
"And one more Anita, from now on LiLian sleeps in your room, I hope you move in the guest room, because Hardi must always take care of her."
Anita clenched her hands holding back anger, her in-laws dispelling her condolences and respect for her in-laws.
"How can anyone who has this kind of character have absolutely no feelings, I must be strong and I must resolve this matter as soon as possible" Anita murmured.
"Alright mom, I will move my stuff to the guest room.' said Anita passed to the room.
Actually Anita is not strong anymore, since her tears were about to come out, but because it has been trained from a child to endure suffering, Anita can still hold it.
Anita tidied up her stuff by accidentally touching two small green and brown books, her marriage book with Hardi.
Anita stared at the two books, some while she was glued, then put them in a small bag along with other files as well as her diploma.
Anita moves her things alone, her husband's heart is still not moving, Anita knows that her mother-in-law forbids her husband to help her on the grounds that LiLian is more important.
"Anita,." call Hardi who saw Anita pacing back and forth carrying her stuff with a sliced look.
"Don't worry about me, 'bang, take care of your son, I'm still in good health no need to be pitied or helped."so Anita flat as she passed from in front of Hardi and LiLian.
Hardi was speechless, in contrast to LiLian who looked happy.Hardi held back the anger in his chest, annoyed at not being able to defend Anita in front of his mother.
"I'm sorry dear brother, you've hurt you." Hardi murmured inwardly.
