Saturday morning in the city of Muntok
After Sahur, we were no longer asleep, father, bang Zamy and bang Rahman had prepared to go to the mosque for the Fajr prayer. After they returned from the mosque, we gathered as usual in the family room enjoying the morning while chatting.
"I'm sorry mommy Man for making you break up." I spoke to bang Rahman who was leaning back on the sofa.
"No problem ma'am, queue who wants to be the same bang Rahman. To the mother's back, we wait until someone actually accepts it for what it is, including the past." I answered.
"Bettoolll...!" Bang Rahman pointed his two thumbs at me.
"Aren't you mad at me, are you?" Mom's still worried. He moved to sit closer to Rahman.
"Lha is not ma'am. Is that time angry? There's still some lemongrass." Bang Rahman.
"Yes that man's principle of dying one grows a thousand right Man?" Dad chimed.
"Just kid." Mom hit me on the thigh dad heard me talk.
"When one goes, find another dong." Father protest.
"Zamy agrees with dad." Bang Zamy chimed in, mother nagging more and more is not clear anymore. I just smiled.

At six o'clock in the morning, we were all getting ready for a jog, bang Zamy had his car ready. Although fasting we are still obliged to exercise, but reduce the portion. Bang Rahman had escaped to the Muntok market, as usual, though he had a chicken delivery service, and good fish, occasionally bang Rahman looking for more fish for his restaurant in the market Muntok. Five minutes drive, we finally sported on the pitch. There are some people who have been running there. The cyclists also have some, mixed children and adults. Gelora Square is the largest field in the city of Muntok. Never empty on holidays. It is the place most often used as a place for large activities. Almost every Saturday Sunday if not in the time of the coronavirus pandemic, this field is transformed into a night market. In this field too, where our childhood used to spend holidays. Ride the odong-odong, ride the thunderbolt, ride the bird's nest, enter the haunted house, watch the motor cross in a narrow room, eat grilled sausage, meatballs skewers, and, chewing gulali or pin snacks various sales on the edges of the event. I remember a long time ago, my father carried me on his nape watching magic. But because of the obstruction of people's bodies I can't see it. That's why my father raised me above his neck. While my three brothers, tucked and got a place always ahead. After coming home from there, we would usually chatter until we fell asleep.

After jogging, we followed the beauty of the sea in Tanjung Kaliana. The morning breeze still feels very refreshing. Staring at the waves hit the skeleton of an Australian ship that was sunk in the second world war. While we were relaxing sitting in the cottage came two teenagers to offer their fish fishing. There are 3 big fish. The rest of the gulame fish are as wide as three fingers and seven tails.
"But buy fish?" They offered to mom. Mother directly held the big fish like the goldfish, still sticky original clams of new fish from the sea.
"How much? Here are three of these grunts. Gulame fish you guys just bring." Mom talk.
"How much do you buk." The teenager holding the fish replied.
"Lho sells anything." Mom smiled.
"One hundred and fifty is all. That's one kilo more...." One of them offered.
"Yes, yeah." Mom just assented. The fish was given to my mother. Mom put it near me to sit. fishy so smelled. My stomach seems to want to take out everything I ate earlier. I tried to hold back from vomiting by swallowing saliva. Bang Zamy saw me, he immediately put away the fish next to me. Hanging him on the lodge pole.
"Well, where's dad's wallet?" Mother raised her hand to the father who stood up immediately. Dad immediately took out two hundred thousand pieces of money and immediately gave it to one of the teenagers, letting the empty mother's hand jump which he finally dropped himself while ticking amusedly.
"It's brother, the rest, it's for both of you." I talk with a smile.
"It's brought me too." They left the gulame fish that I didn't want.
"Take it with you, really at home all do not like to eat gulame fish." Mother gave back the fish in question. They took it again and thanked him and left.
"Wawww..., this will make the menu iftar, Naura likes to eat her head in cooking 'yellow spices' (typical food Bangka)." Mother stood up to pick up another fish that was hung bang Zamy. I also re-smelled an incredible fishy smell. My head is quail, I can't help but vomit again this time. I stood up, moved back and looked down.
"Youngpam...!!! Why...!!! Why...!!!" My eyes water, bang Zamy runs into the car and picks up two bottles of mineral water. Mother approached me, rubbing my neck.
"Drink baby, break it and don't fast anymore." Bang Zamy seems worried. He even spilled water on the bottle into his right hand, then washed my mouth clean. After that he took out a handkerchief that he had been wearing wiped sweat, then wiped it on my face.
"Drink Bee.., drink dear...." Bang Zamy gave the bottle that he just opened.
"From last night my mom took him to a test pack. But not because Zamy was sleeping on his lap.., My son, uh my son-in-law seems to be pregnant. Thank God, I will retire soon and have another grandchild..." Mother hugged me from behind, she was so happy even though she still had time to chat. I kept quiet with her charismatic smile. Bang Zamy smiled at me. He threw the bottle in the trash.
"Let's go home soon. It'll be too hot." Father reminded.
"It's just put it in the trunk. Stump again with a crackle bag." Dad added back. Mom held my hand towards the car. I still feel a bit quirky sitting in the middle seat near mom. Mom hugged me.
"It's okay, baby. From tomorrow, don't fast anymore. Focus on your body first." Mother advised. I just kept quiet.
"Naura isn't definitely pregnant ma'am, maybe just a common cold." I answered. Dad and bang Zamy are in the car anyway. While sitting in the driver's seat bang Zamy looked at me. Then he fumbled in my dad's front drawer some kopiko candy. He took one, opened the package, stretched out to me.
"Want some candy?" I don't want to take it either. Otherwise I'll take it very redundant because everything is fasting. I took it and quickly put it in my mouth. Relieved to be able to enjoy the smell of coffee after previously my chest rose and down held the smell because of the fishy smell of fish. We'll be home soon.

Arriving at home, Bude Marni finished washing dishes, and swept the house.
"Doctor's bells how are you? Healthy right?"
"Alhamdulillah bude healthy."
"Eh, have you filled yet?" Bude whispered to me. I just smiled, and immediately entered the room without giving a clear answer to Bude Marni. Bang Zamy was already waiting for me sensitively in his hands.
"Let's make sure. Later until our clinic USG." Bang Zamy hugged me tight. I removed the hijab and followed her to the bathroom. He's ready with a urine reservoir.
"Here is it yourself. Wait outside." I feel uncomfortable with it too.
"It's okay, baby." Bang Zamy kekeh. I also pee and give to be tested. Bang Zamy excitedly slowly unwrapped the sensitive strip then without the need to read the instructions again, he dipped the end of the section vertically. And not waiting long, the wet color on the test apparatus immediately rose, the first red passed, the next second appeared the second red line. Bang Zamy spontaneously hugged me.
"Thank you dear." He kissed me many times. There were tears dripping down my cheeks and cheeks. Then he let me go and ran to the kitchen.
"Mother...." Mother who stood near the sink was equally bude Marni shocked.
"Why Zam?"
"Thank you son. I'll soon have grandchildren of you...." Mom tears eyes. So happy mother until as much as she pleased. Bude Marni was confused and was counting with her finger.
"But how fast is it, doc? Two weeks of marriage, aren't you pregnant?" Bude Marni is still confused.
"Top cerrr bude. Hehe...." Mother replied while sobbing haru.
"Your son but Zam? Uh sorry for the release. Sorry neng doc sorry I mean that bude's son is married will make him eh release again. Sorry sorry sorry buk sorry neng, sorry brother...." Bude slapped his own mouth because of his crumpled tongue. I'm not offended to hear Bude Marni's question. It is only natural that a layman like Bude Marni would suspect my new pregnancy has not even been two weeks married. But for medical people like bang Zamy, they understand very well that the gestational age is calculated based on the first day of my last menstrual period, and it doesn't count on the date we got married or the date I had sex with bang Zamy.
"Yes bude. That's Zamy's son. Our two children are in a legitimate marriage."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it...."
"It's okay bude. This happened because Naura's fertile years were very fitting when we got married." Bang Zamy patted the shoulder of Bude Marni who was still feeling guilty and ashamed. Bude Marni just nodded without daring to speak again. I went to the kitchen and was grateful to hear this wonderful news. In the midst of the exciting news, suddenly mobile phone bang Zamy rang. He stayed away to answer. About five minutes he was talking in the garage with someone, I saw the look on Zamy's face change. He gently pulled my hand towards the room.
"What's the bang?" I'm a little scared. Bang Zamy looked at me.
"Bee..., which securities of pawnshops are placed where?" Half whispered bang Zamy asked.
"Taro scoops in the bottom center closet drawer. The key is tucked in a blue jacket pocket hung in the right closet." I explained with certainty. Because after returning home from work, the night bang Zamy gave another letter, I immediately kept all there, joined the other documents. Can't be wrong.
"What happened bang?" Why?" I enthusiastically ask. Bang Zamy took a heavy breath.
"Barusan Diki called and told me your mama's now in the pawnshop." Bang Zamy answered flatly.
"Saturday the pawnshop is open?" I cut.
"This proof."
"Why is he there?" I asked again.
"Yes strangely this said Diki, your mama brought all the gold documents that we bought, he said to be cashed all. After they checked, all the documents were original holograms." Bang Zamy seems a bit emotional.
"Why did mom know? How did he get in?" I was surprised to hear it myself. Then I took my phone and tried to call my mom, but apparently my number was blocked. I tried to call papa.
"Why son."
"Pa, where is papa now?"
"Papa's at home, son. Why?"
"Did anyone come home while we were in Mentok yesterday?"
"Yes there. The crazy woman was out of the house when papa came in. Said he was looking for shophouse documents. Apparently he just found out there's a shophouse asset in papa's name. But no papa pasih, he then just left."
"When pa?"
"Bodies earlier. Papa will run out Sahur directly to the mosque. Papa locks the door, papa taro locks on the back of a large flower pot. Papa closes again with a pair of sandals."
"Owh."
"Why son? What's going on?"
"Later to tell me, Pa. It was already." I ended the call with Papa. Not wrong again, he must have come back presumptuous to enter the house, and tear apart everything he found. Mama has gone too far. I will not give you forgiveness anymore. If it was not stopped, he would continue to do as he pleased, without thinking about it hurting others or not. Mama is the same. He'll never change again.
"How does the pawnshop respond?" I asked again.
"What the hell said wait a minute, how the follow-up. They again reasoned to prepare the file. To get back to take for cash now they say they can't, because according to the system must wait a minimum of three months. So they buy time for reasons that can be done in less than three months just a name change. And your mama agreed to it, change it in her name." Bang Zamy agitatedly explained.
"So how's the follow-up now bang?" I asked worriedly.
"Abang awaits your approval, baby. If we could teach a lesson. Let's report it through the pawnshop. Diki agreed to call the police because of suspicious documents. If it's reported, the police can arrest your mother immediately in the name of theft and fraud." Bang Zamy slowly spoke. Maybe he's trying to keep me from getting angry.
"Adek agreed to have my mom reported immediately. Adek was already caught off guard, silenced he was getting soaring. Forgive him to repeat. His behavior is really uncivilized anymore. Too presumptuous of his actions to enter and tear apart the contents of the room even though I am his biological child. His attitude was disappointing. Give him a lesson, please just jail him so that he no longer bothers papa and everything." I became emotional. I don't know what makes you 'human'. Everything should be in his control. Maybe it was one of the factors that made Nina doctor a beautiful doctor but lacking social spirit to fellow colleagues.
"Are you sure Bee?"
"Yes." Yeah." I answered for sure. Then bang Zamy immediately contacted Diki back and conveyed to hold all the securities that had been stolen mama. After negotiating together, we decided to go home soon today, cancel the plan to go home after the wedding on Monday.
"Mother, our father both had a little problem with his birth mother Naura. So please leave for a little while." Bang Zamy met his father and mother who were already sitting in the living room.
"Why so sudden?" Dad asked.
"Just got the info just now." Bang Zamy replied.
"Hadooohhh..., why the hell sorry son, why does your mama always make a fuss anyway?" I was annoyed to hear us say goodbye.
"No idea mom, maybe it's her character. Naura was also confused to see it." I replied in a annoyed tone as well.
"Yes, I hope your problems are solved quickly, and while Naura's pregnancy is still in the first quarter do not have to go home first, let father and mother who are there." Father answered wisely.
"OK yeah. Thank you." Thank you." I immediately went to the room, tidied up the room, rearranged the clothes into the suitcase. Dirty and wet clothes that have been washed by Bude Marni all enter the bag. And after almost an hour of preparation, we finally went back to Pangkalpinang to see what was really going on.
"Be careful Zamy don't speed it up." Mother reminded me many times.
"Yes ma'am."
"Healthy, my grandson. I'll see you later, oma...." Mom hugged and also touched my stomach. I became ashamed of myself. And finally at 10 more hours, we departed from Mentok heading to Pangkalpinang.
