Tonight at Edy Sudrajat's family home will be held a dinner together. They also invited Broto Hadikusumo's family. At exactly seven o'clock in the night, both of Haira's parents had arrived. And so did Mirna, her sister. Haira greeted them happily.
Ms. Edy had arranged the dishes perfectly on the table. While in the living room, Mr. Edy was accompanying his guest with small talk. Dirga and Haira were there. Moments later, Ms. Edy shows up and says the dinner is ready.
In the dining room the two families also enjoy dinner with an atmosphere full of intimacy. Only Dirga seemed to show less happy expression, until several times his mother who was sitting right in front of him gave a code to him to smile.
"Sir Haira, eat a lot. Adequate nutritional intake is needed for fetal growth in your womb," said Ms. Edy while spooning chicken soup into a small bowl of Haira's.
"Thank you, ma'am," said Haira who tonight looks beautiful with a chiffon-colored hijab toska.
"In addition to nutritious food, a stable psychological condition is also very important for pregnant women" said Bu Broto.
"Yes, that's right" said Ms. Edy.
"Everything, a pregnant mother should always receive attention and affection, especially from her husband" continued Bu Broto.
"Don't worry Miss Broto, we'll always be here to pay attention and love Haira" Ms Edy said.
"If it were, we would not doubt Mrs Edy. But what we're worried about is that Haira can't always be with Dirga, her husband." Bu Broto said as he glanced at Dirga.
Meanwhile, Dirga just kept her head down, staring at her dinner plate. It felt, that delicious food was tasteless to him now. The chat that he had heard earlier was only about Haira and her content.
"For that too, Broto did not need to worry, because Dirga would often come to see Haira," said Bu Edy.
"Is that right, Dirga boy?" mrs Broto asked Dirga.
Dirga gasped when she heard his name called. A second later he turned to Ms. Broto and said, "If there's a low time, I'll work on it."
"No, I don't want to just look at it at any time. I want to be with my husband at all times." Haira suddenly interjected.
Everyone looked at Haira. There was a question from every face there. Because they know how the position of Haira who is only a second wife can not make him to always be with Dirga.
"I'll go to Dirga's place of duty." Haira finished her words.
Hearing Haira's words, everyone looked at each other. It is like asking each other the same question.
"What do you mean, Ra? I told you it couldn't happen." Dirga muttered in annoyance.
"Why is that impossible, Dir? I'm your wife and I'm pregnant with your child" Haira replied.
"Please, stop talking about the kid!" Dirga jerking Haira.
"Dirga!" This time Mr. Edy yanked Dirga.
Made Dirga look at his father.
"What do you mean by that boy? That's your son, your flesh and blood, my heir. That kid we've been dreaming about, which Calya can't give." Mr. Edy continued.
"Dad .. please don't say that." Dirga was inflamed hearing Calya's name called like that.
"That's the truth, son. You are our only child. Of course, we really expect a grandson as the successor to our surname. And now, Haira will give it to us. I've decided, right Haira said, she should indeed come with you to your place of duty." Mr. Edy said while looking intently at his son.
"What do you mean, Dad decided? This is the life of the Dirga household, Dirga is the one who has the right to decide. Haira's presence there will only add to Calya's heartache. Dirga doesn't want that to happen" Dirga said.
Hearing Dirga's words, Haira felt her chest hot. Dirga's words were like bullets hitting his heart. So much did Dirga care for Calya that she ignored her much better self everything. Physically, Haira felt more beautiful. Same with his family's good name. His father was a prominent government official in the city. Plus now, he has the love of both Dirga's parents. Haira feels she has everything that Calya doesn't.
"Aww.cn ...." Haira held his chest.
"Haira .. Why are you, son?" Mr. Broto immediately stood up and rushed over to Haira.
Same with Broto and Mirna.
Soon, Haira's body relaxes, and eventually faints. Dirga who was beside Haira instantly caught the body of the woman.
"Let's get him to the hospital quickly." Mr. Edy and Ms. Edy looked worried.
They ran out of the house. Dirga carried Haira's body. There was worry in his heart. Haira's previous health condition with a history of heart disease coupled with her pregnancy now bothers Dirga to care for Haira at this time.

In the hospital ER, Haira immediately got help. Everyone waited until the action was completed, and Haira was transferred to the inpatient room.
The VIP room could accommodate the six people who were waiting for Haira to realize it. His condition is fine. That's what the doctor said.
Broto, Miss Edy and Mirna stood by Haira's bedside, while the three men sat on the sofa.
"Son't you realize?" mirna cried when she saw Haira open her eyes.
Everyone came closer to Haira's bedside.
Shortly afterwards, a loud voice sounded. Haira crying.
"Dear, what's wrong with you, son? How crying?" asked Bu Broto while rubbing his daughter's face.
"Why should Haira be saved just to be hurt, Ma?" Haira said as she continued to cry.
"What do you mean, son? Who hurt you? Everyone here loves you." Broto's mother calms Haira down.
"No, Ma ... Dirga does not love Haira. Dirga does not love the child who is pregnant. He doesn't want it." Haira is still sobbing.
Dirga. Plus his father and mother were looking at him.
"Darling ... Who says Dirga doesn't love you and your children?" Edy's mom is closing in on Haira.
"The truth is, Dirga doesn't want us to be close to him. What's wrong with me going with him to the job? I also will not live with his wife. But at least the distance between me and Dirga wasn't too far away. We can meet anytime. My son and I need him, but Dirga doesn't want us." Haira said in between her sports.
Everyone is silent. Momentary silence. Until Dirga finally let out a voice.
"Well .. when that's what you want."
A smile broke on Haira's face. Then he hugged the bodies of his mother and mother-in-law alternately. Of course everyone welcomed Dirga's approval happily.
However, behind that willingness, Dirga's conscience raged. Of course this decision will trigger a flickering relationship between him and Calya.
Dirga could only exhale violently to throw away the turmoil of his heart now.
