"Test pack?" The Rose's forehead was wrinkled at Mother Mina's request.
"Yes. You're husband and wife, aren't you? As a physically healthy couple, you must have a husband and wife relationship, right? You've been married for two months more, maybe without you knowing there is already a fetus in your womb? It's not impossible, is it? You are both healthy. Wait a minute, let me get the driver to buy at a pharmacy near here." Mina's mother left the Rose sitting quietly while digesting what Mother Mina said.
"Pregnant? I'm pregnant?" inner Rose.
I can't believe the taste of roses. Indeed Rose admitted that his body was a bit weak these few weeks. His stomach also likes to cramp. "Is it true that my body has been showing signs of pregnancy, but I never noticed?" inner Rose.
Rose smiled as she gently rubbed her stomach. He was happy to imagine that there was a junior soul in his womb right now.
Mina's mother returned after telling her driver to buy a test pack at a nearby pharmacy. His intention was to approach the Roses and ask more.
Mina's mother saw her daughter-in-law gently rubbing her stomach. Occasionally the rose wipes away the shedding tears. The rose smiled but cried. Mina's mother felt like she could feel what the Rose was feeling. The feeling of knowing that there may be other living things in the womb.
Mother Mina's hard heart seemed to melt. The daughter-in-law he despised and mistreated actually helped him today. If there is no rose, he can be ashamed in front of his fellow tourists for not preparing dishes because he forgot.
Her daughter-in-law also waited patiently in the rear gazebo. Fill the time waiting for him by teaching and praying for the safety of his son. How this daughter-in-law who has a dark past loves Djiwa, her son.
Mina's mother felt guilty for treating the Roses badly. There was a sense of worry in him. Has he been too cruel to a woman who may be pregnant with her grandchild? The granddaughter who had been so Mother Mina and her husband longed for because Djiwa always acted coldly to the woman he was betrothed to.
Mina's mother noticed the Rose who pulled out her cell phone. His face returned sad when the person he was in contact with could not be contacted. Mina's mother suspected that the Rose contacted Djiwa who some days would be lost to the earth. No news at all.
Mina's mother walked slowly towards the Rose. Her daughter-in-law quickly put in her cell phone and wiped away the tears on her face. A fake smile to cover up his excitement.
"The soul still has no news?" Mina's mother sits herself on the sofa right next to the Rose.
The rose shook its head while bowing listlessly. "No, Ma. I just called, but it's still not active. May Mas Djiwa be well there" said the Rose.
"You love Djiwa?" The unimportant question Mina's mother asked. He already knows the answer, just needs affirmation.
"Of course I love Mas Djiwa, Mom. Who wouldn't love a man as good as Mas Djiwa who was willing to sacrifice for me?" say the rose with a blank look.
The atmosphere was silent again until Mother Mina remembered that the Rose had not eaten. "Geez! You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat first!"
Mina's mother asked Bi Ijah to prepare a meal for the Roses. Although initially hesitant, Roses according to what Mother Mina asked for. His father-in-law was not as bad as he thought. Attention also to those who have not had lunch.
After the meal, the test pack of Mina's order has come. Mina's mother quickly asked Rose to put her urine in a cup. Roses that have never been pregnant before are according to what Mina's mother told them.
Handed over her urine-filled canister. Mina's mother then put the test pack into the urine and waited for the results. One minute feels like a long time. Curiosity has mastered both.
Mina's mother lifted the test pack and her eyes widened when she saw that there were two lines clearly listed on the test pack she was holding. It was not believed that the woman in front of him was pregnant with a child from Djiwa, the only son of his puppet.
Mother Mina's gaze now shifted from the test pack she held to the plain woman who asked what the results of her test pack. The woman should have been able to see there was a line two but because it was too plain she did not know that line two meant she was pregnant.
Seeing the innocence of the Rose, now Mina's mother even doubted the Rose's past. It was impossible for this innocent woman to kill her own husband. Asked to wait in the gazebo, he said. She was told to cook too. Being told to eat also did not argue. Could a woman like this be capable of killing others? It's like killing animals he can't.
"Mom, how come you're daydreaming? What outcome?" The rose peeked at the result. There are two red lines. "The line is two, what does it mean, ma'am?"
The rose took a pack of test packs and began reading the instructions. He was apparently also surprised to find out the meaning of the two lines in his test pack. "Would you really test if I'm pregnant, Mom? On this lead I'm pregnant. I'm really pregnant, Mom?"
Mina's mother was still staring at the innocent woman in front of her. After reading the instructions he still hesitated. So plain. Mina's mother answered Rose's question with a slow nod. "Yes, you're pregnant."
"Seriously, Mom? Alhamdulillah! Oh God, I'm pregnant with Mas Djiwa's child." A happy smile on the face of the rose. He gently rubbed his stomach which was still flat. Knowing there was a junior soul in her womb, made the happiness in her multiply.
Mina's mother looks expressionless. I still can't believe he has a grandson. "It's late afternoon, go home. The driver will take you!"
Rose raised her face and thought Mina's mother disliked her pregnancy. The happiness he had just felt for a moment suddenly turned into sadness. Will he get a rejection?
Mina's mother caught the sad face of the Rose. He did not want Rose to misunderstand his attitude. "I told you to go home so you don't get tired. Much rest. Do not lift heavy weights and from now on eat nutritious food!"
"Go home! It's afternoon. It'll jam!" Despite the sound of sniffling, Roses even smiled hearing the words of Mother Mina who sounded warm in her ears.
"Yes. I'll take a moment, Mom. Assalamualaikum!" The rose stretched out its hand to salim.
Mina's mother stared at the Rose for a moment. He stretched out his hand and went to his room after the Rose came home. Mina's mother was silent in her room. Engrossed with her own thoughts until the room lights turned on her husband.
"Who? Why are you in a dark daydreaming room, Ma?" ask Mr. Prabu.
"Pa, there's important news." Mina's mother looked at her husband who was taking off the tie.
"What news? You're telling Mama?" ask Mr. Prabu.
"Not."
"Then? What news?" Mr. Prabu turned around and looked at his wife who was looking at him closely.
"Pregnant roses" said Mina's mother slowly.
"Yes naturally pregnant, she has a husband, let alone her husband like Djiwa wild and like-WHAT? PREGNANT ROSES?"
