At half-time seven in the evening, after Magrib prayed in the room of the house bang Zamy behind the clinic, my mother called me. I immediately picked it up.
"Assalamualaikum...,"
Waalaikumsalamwr. Naura...."
"Yes mom.., why?"
"Mom...? Halleoo?" I heard my mother's voice no longer clear. I repeated it many times to call mother, but the call was stopped. I then followed Mak Yang back up to the practice room while occasionally trying to call back, but there was no answer. I went back to the practice room and re-examined the patients who had been queuing up until eleven p.m.
Now I'm really limiting only 20 patients except the emergency ones. So those who have called above the 20 registrant sequence number will be sorted directly into the first queue. Unlike when I was not pregnant, I was still able to until one in the morning when Saturday and Sunday nights to serve patients who came from other districts.
*****
Mak Yang and Santi have gone home. I also went out of the practice room and chatted briefly with Doctor Jefri in the pharmacy because in the practice room bang Zamy there was still one more patient. About seven minutes wait finally patient bang Zamy pamit go home. Two nurses bang Zamy also parted after finishing cleaning all the administration and other equipment. The pharmacist who worked with Dr Jefri had already gone home after they closed the door.
"Raclut? If the cape works, meningan adek break first practice." Bang Zamy held my shoulder talking.
"No, even afraid to get bored if not move later." I answered.
"Well then. Let's go home, baby." Bang Zamy held the fingers of my left hand towards the car parked near the exit. But had not had time to get into the car, suddenly bang Fathur appeared in front of us with my motorbike, his hair was disheveled in the wind on the street, he was not wearing a helmet at all.
"Lha? Wh why? Tumben's been here all night?" The startled Bang Zamy instantly approached the Fathur bang. I follow behind him.
"Zam you're tired not if nemenin brother to Mentok?" With an unstable breath, Fathur immediately spoke.
"Why rush once? What's going on?" Bang Zamy started to follow anxiously.
"Anu. Anu..., anu Zam..," Bang Fathur seemed very uncomfortable explaining. He's so agitated.
"Anu anu anu from earlier. What the hell is going on? Don't make us worry." Bang Zamy's starting to feel bad. He immediately imagined something had happened to his father or mother, or maybe the same bang Rahman in Mentok.
"Anu deck. Vioni took a trip and reached Mentok alone last hour and a half." Finally bang Fathur explained also the intention of his arrival to the clinic on this cold night.
"Yuk Vioni? To Mentok?" I was shocked to hear it, let alone bang Zamy.
"He's determined to catch up with my brother to Mentok, use Oyan again." Bang Zamy cursed himself. He shook his head.
"Yes the reason is because the covid-19 son was not taken." Bang Fathur replied.
"Had known this season, he even swamped, should have thought dong. Basic lecturer rather...." Bang Zamy stopped his talk. She's staring.
"Can I come?" I propose. Bang Fathur and bang Zamy stared for a moment.
"Aren't you tired?" Bang Zamy looked at me again.
"Smuck a little bit. But I can sleep in the back. Abang set the chair first so that it can be free to sleep. Bring a pillow and roll a blanket later."
"Oh God Bee.., we don't want to camp...." Bang Zamy looked at me. I just grinned.
"Yes, we go home first. If I think anyway, it's good we go to Mentok after dawn. It's a little dangerous now, Mah. Fear of getting sleepy.
"We're replacing Zam's nyopir." Bang Fathur replied. There is still a desire to go there.
"Even if the change is still very risky bang...." I tried to calm down bang Fathur. Then perhaps out of pity for seeing me pregnant, bang Fathur relented.
"Tomorrow, after the dawn prayer we leave. Let's go home." Bang Fathur takes home while starting the bike.
"Yeah...." Just like his invitation then, then he passed through the dark streets in the rainy season. We walked behind at a moderate pace.
"This is what else the purpose came. If only chasing bang Fathur will obviously have a divorce from the court." Bang Zamy spoke while driving, I just shrugged my shoulders incomprehensibly.

While in a big and luxurious house in Mentok. Mother tries to accept Vioni's mother who comes as a surprise at her best. Although in my heart I spoke she should have come with Oyyan and not come alone. However, her name is a mother who does not have much to do with her daughter-in-law after marriage, still feel compassion and pity for her daughter-in-law. But hearing the story of bang Fathur mother felt very upset as well, how could the beautiful woman ever hit the face of the Fathur bang just because she did not want to give money to replace her father's car in Palembang.
"Mom, I'm sorry ma'am, I'm sorry ma'am, Vioni can't live without Fathur's sister. Please persuade her again to come back ma'am. Poor Royyan ma'am...." Vioni's mother sobbed in front of the wrong mother to see her former daughter-in-law again persuaded to refer.
"Already eat Vio first, son. Your problems mother never interfere, everything has been decided by Fathur, mother can not persuade or do anything else again. It was Fathur's decision. His mind was ripe for making his own decisions." Mother spoke while raising Vioni's hand that had been gathered near her feet.
"But you can persuade her, ma'am." Vioni's mom seduces mom again. Mom smiled shakes.
"For this matter mom really can't Vio. I'm sorry, son." Wise mother speaks. He tried to stay calm in the face of this special guest.
"Pity is Royyan bu." Vioni's mother shed tears.
"Yes is pity. But that says Royyan's destiny. I can pay for school." She talked about her responsibilities as a grandmother.
"It's not just a matter of money, ma'am, but the psychology. Cassian she is." Vioni's mother persuaded again.
"You should be more responsive from the beginning of the psychological problem. Not even acting at will, obey each other's ego." Mother remained patiently answering even though she sighed deeply many times holding back the upset.
"Sister Fathur wants to divorce mom, not Vio." Special guest mother back seduce. His eyes were really hopeful.
"There must be a reason she's divorced. It is impossible to divorce immediately." Mom still keeps her tone. While Vioni was silent for a moment.
"Dad hasn't come home yet, ma'am?" He switched to asking father after feeling in vain to seduce mother.
"Not yet." Briefly, mother answered.
"Sister Fathur has great respect for father, it seems only father can persuade brother Fathur back to Vio. Vio wants you to stop working and just take care of the house if Fathur wants to turn it back." He talks like a bad boy out of the law. And her name is woman, mother has her weak side. He hugged his ex-daughter-in-law.
"What did Brother Fathur say?" Vioni's mother gave up her embrace. His face looked a little tense.
"Eitherway. Whoever is currently persuading him, if it's his decision, it's likely that it won't change again." Pessimistic mother despite Mbak Vioni was seen talking seducing all her money. Both then fell silent. Vioni's sister called Oyyan via video call. The boy looked at his mother. Mother was only able to cry while calling Oyyan on. She had never even touched her first grandchild but her son and daughter-in-law were already seeking a divorce. It's so sad.
*****
Dad came home at 20:13. She was not so surprised when the one who opened the front door was Vioni because mother had already informed her presence through whatapp message.
"Hello yeah, how's it going?" Vioni's mother, who was not wearing a hijab, smiled kindly to welcome the return of her father.
"You're apparently Vio. Why wasn't Royyan taken? We want to carry her."
"Later on, wait for everything to get back to normal." Ma'am Vioni answered briefly.
"Now it's the New Normal." Dad spoke while taking off his socks.
"He wasn't given his grandmother's hand." Finally, Vio answered honestly.
"Why are you going?" Dad was curious about it.
"Hehe who returned to normal earlier meant the relationship of Vio and brother Fathur well. I help Vio yes, persuade brother Fathur to go back to Vio." He did not care tired father, tired father came home from work, for him seduce bang Fathur much more useful.
"Hehehe.., woo yourself, the time of the father who seduced her, whichever she wanted...." Dad chuckled for a moment even though he felt very tired.
"Have you eaten?" Dad looked at Vioni while taking off his black coat. Mom took the black suit out of dad's hand and took it to the dirty clothes in the back kitchen.
"Please yeah yeah. Please well. Vio promised never to disappoint Fathur again." Half whining she seduce.
"Eat first and rest, I'll take a bath and rest too." Father passed into the room, mother took the briefcase father put on the family room table. For some reason because there is a mother Vio, I feel the need to bring a bag to the mother's private room. Stay mbak Vioni who is only confused disappointed while looking at the mobile phone screen.
*****
A cold dawn with a melodious voice of Adhan, followed by the howling of dogs from a distance woke us up. Bang Zamy and bang Fathur have gone to the mosque. I pray at home and have received permission from the office not to enter a day. Bang Zamy has also told Alwi sir that today will be permission.
"Where are you going Doc?" Mr. Alwi asked by phone.
"There's family business in Mentok sir."
"Owh. The board of the meeting today. Ready right?" Mr. Alwi laughed adding.
"Who is sir?" Bang Zamy asked.
"Get one more ladder." Mr. Alwi spoke with code.
"Amanah must be executed. God is always ready." Bang Zamy understands what Mr. Alwi means. He will replace the position of Director of Tin Hospital replacing the old one because of corruption cases. For him whatever his important position works according to tupoksi. Kepalang serve then he must devote totality himself.

"Bismillah..," Bang Zamy drove to Mentok. I was in the back sitting alone.
"He slept with mom last night in our room Bee...." Bang Zamy laughs funny.
"Kok mom want to sleep with him? Not afraid of being strangled. Hehe...." Bang Fathur joked. We just smile.
"Be careful he brings something...." I teased bang Fathur.
"Of course, my heart has been locked in Nindya now." Bang Fathur turned to me who was only able to stick out his tongue to hear his words that were drunk with love.
"Yes really. Not only know Nindya, brother has really gone from his life. Especially since knowing and hearing the sad story of the life of Annisa and her mother. It feels good to make both of them happy." Bang Fathur is melancholic this time. He shook his head enjoying every touching word that came out of his mouth.
"So sweet once...." Bang Zamy seduces his eldest brother. We laughed again together.
That is, our journey through with all the jokes and laughter, so it does not feel we have reached the travel time is not up to two hours. We arrived at my mother's house. Looks like mom's car parked in the garage means mom's at home. Dad's garage is empty, dad definitely can not leave his job and feel the presence of mbak Vioni something mediocre without having to worry much less feared. It's a household matter, it's only natural in the father's view. We parked the car in Dad's garage.
"Oh yes Allaaahhh, you have a big stomach mbak Doookkk....bocah lanang opo wedok iki....? " Bude Marni stroked my stomach as I went up to the side door terrace. He took the handbag I was holding.
"Relax...." I hugged Bude Marni's waist.
"Owalaahh use rusiah allaa.., bude who brought, pregnant wong do not bring the heavy-beeraaattt...."
"Ih bude is okay, light really, the contents of the phone and doang wallet." I answered.
"Where's bude's mom?" I asked her because she hadn't seen the trunk of her nose.
"Deeeeekkk.., you've arrived." Mother hurriedly came out of the room still with a clean cloth. His face was held in his right arm. He's testing. And hugged me very tightly.
"Mom can't wait to retire. Let me be close to my son. It's been six months, son. O Allah as my grandson, O Allah...." Mother hugged me with her left hand, while her right hand stroked my distended stomach.
"That's yo fatnyo deket mertuo ni. Hamilnyo is caknyo pampered nian, different nian oi cak tobo far away...." (That's all good near in-laws. Her pregnancy is like being pampered, it seems very different from us who are far away.). I saw that Vioni was in the kitchen too. He stood with his left hand at his waist and his right hand pressed down the carving of the dining chair. He was wearing jeans and a yellowish black tunic shirt. Her beautiful face is getting prettier with perfect makeup. His round eyes blends a sharp nose and thin lips shaped beautifully with a red lip blush. Plus his eyebrows are winding to the top end the more he looks shaky blaring. Her cheeks blushed with a thin blush. Her hair that was painted red was left a little messy the face really did not reduce her beauty. He's like an artist. But unfortunately his attitude and nature are rather disappointing.
"Eh Vio...." I walked closer, but he deliberately avoided and walked towards the door. Mother followed me glancing dislikely towards mbak Vio.
"Mano kak Fathurnyo this oiii.., ngapo lamo nian downnyo, pace cak newlyweds bae." (Where is this brother Fatur, why so long down like a newlywed.)
"I'm here you want to do something?" Bang Fathur down behind the waist of his left hand. While his right hand held a reddish piece of paper similar to a diploma, it read 'Divorce Deed Quotation.' Vioni's mother closed her mouth in disbelief.
