Calya's pregnancy has entered the ninth month. That is, soon the expected moment will arrive. Today, Calya called her parents to report.
"Hello, ma'am," said Calya, beginning her call.
"Hello, honey, how are you guys there?" sahut the mother.
"Good, Mom. How are Mom and Dad?" ask Calya.
"Alhamdulillah, fine, son. How's yangkamu?" ask Mrs Darmawan again.
"It's already in the ninth month, ma'am. The doctor said the HPL was two weeks away. Mom and Dad are here, right?" calya.
"Yes, Son. Mom and Dad will be there. But maybe only next week, because you have to make sure that you are fully recovered and ready to travel far," explained Bu Darmawan.
"Lho .. Didn't you just say that you and Mom are okay?" Calya began to rile at the words of her mother about the condition of her father.
"Em .. Yes Father is fine. Just a while ago, you fell down when you helped Mom clean up the house."
"What's? Falling off? How can you, Mom? Then what happened?" ask Calya.
"Yes, Son. He fell out of his chair and then fainted. Then when I cried for help, fortunately Nak Raindra heard, then came and took you to the hospital."
"Raindra's? Mom said Raindra?"
Hearing Calya's question, Bu Darmawan suddenly realized that he had mentioned the name of someone who would make Calya surprised.
"Em .. Yes, Son. So ... It's been a couple of weeks, Nak Raindra's been living in front of our house. He has returned to this city, then opened a coffee shop business in his new house purchased in front of our house," explained Bu Darmawan.
"Raindra ... back there?" hiss Calya.
"Yes, Son. At first we were shocked too. But Nak Raindra is still like the old days, he is still kind and likes to help. I'm grateful that she's our neighbor because she's been helping Mom and Dad a lot."
"Oh .. em .. send Calya's regards to her, ma'am. And ... also thank you."
After talking for a while, Calya ended the call. He was a little stunned as he recalled the chatter about Raindra. Calya knew Raindra was a good man. He has always been that way for a long time, never helping anyone else.
Calya again thought, why can Raindra move there? Does it have anything to do with the rejection of love? Calya was wondering in her mind, what about her efforts here, and also how does it relate to Anela?
Until the moment Myesha entered the room, Calya was jolted.
"Bak daydreaming huh?" ask Myesha.
"Eh .. Did you go home? This ... Ma'am just called Mom" said Calya.
"Oh ... How are they, Ma'am?"
"Mother said, Dad's down" replied Calya.
"Huh? When?"
"A few days ago. She said .. Good thing Raindra helped."
"Raydra ... Mr Raindra?" asked Myesha to make sure that what is meant is the ex-lover of the sister.
Calya agreed, then told what their mother had told them.
Hearing that, Myesha also intends to find out about it at the Rain and Snow Cafe. More about why Raindra left this town.

After making small talk, Myesha began to find out about Raindra.
"Ra .. I've heard that Mr. Raindra is not here yet?" ask Myesha.
"Yes, Sha. This cafe was handed over to Bu Anela, a close friend of Mr. Raindra. But now Ms. Anela also handed over this cafe to be taken care of by her sister, Bu Aliya. So he said, Bu Anela also moved to Sulawesi," replied Rara.
"Sulawesi?" asked Myesha to make sure.
"Yes .. gossip he followed Mr. Raindra there. You see, Ms. Anela is half-dead love with Mr. Raindra. But don't say yes, it's just gossip among employees here anyway" said Rara.
Myesha felt that the information she had obtained was enough. He says goodbye to Rara, and returns home.

In the front house, Haira who was able to move again, started doing homework as usual. Both of his parents are still there. Mr. Edy and Ms. Edy did decide to remain there until their granddaughter who was being conceived by Calya was born.
"Nak Haira what are you doing?" mrs Edy asked when she saw Haira in the kitchen.
"Cooking, Mom. I've been bothered for a few days. Now let Haira do it," said Haira.
"You sure you can do it, son?" ask Mrs Edy to make sure.
For a moment, Haira turned to her mother-in-law.
"Haira .. will try to be a wife, ma'am. Haira knows, all this time Haira has never done a wife's duty well," said Haira.
Ms. Edy was stunned to hear her daughter-in-law's statement. However, he greatly appreciated Haira's intention to be like that.
Until the time of dinner, and everyone was already in the dining room, Haira had served the results of her cooking.
"What are you cooking, son?" ask Mrs Edy.
"This, Mom, Haira makes kale stir-fry, fried chicken, and sambal terasi," said Haira.
"Em .. looks this good. Come on Sir, Dirga .. we taste," said Ms. Edy.
Haira was happy because her mother-in-law welcomed her cooking with such a reaction.
After they ate, the expression of praise was received by Haira.
"Wah .. it feels really good, son," said Mr. Edy.
"How, Dirga?" ask Edy to his son.
Dirga nodded. "Yes, good."
Haira unravels a smile. He tried to cook well all day while looking at the recipe. She no longer wants to be a wife. However, Haira must keep Dirga as a companion. Although without perfection as a woman, she wants to still be worthy to be called a wife.
That's life. On the way there will be many events that can change habits. A karma may have to happen to be able to melt selfishness and pride. Furthermore, it becomes the choice of the human being itself to make changes or not.
Maybe that's what happened to Haira. He was trying through karma with a change in his life. If all this time he felt himself above the heavens, then now he would learn to tread the earth.
Slowly, the clear fur in Haira's beautiful eyes dripped. There was a novelty he felt when he saw the husband and in-laws eating his cooking greedily.
Is this what it feels like to be a real wife? Her happiness is immeasurable.
Haira muttered softly in her veins ....
