An adult?
One word that sometimes makes me think hard. Can I do this? Can I do that? Is this decision right? Did I make a mistake? Can I make everyone happy? Questions like that always come to my mind, I don't know if this is ridiculous or not. But, to be honest, questions like that always bother me. It was as if I was restricting myself from that happiness. How can I make others happy if I cannot make myself happy? Pretending to laugh hahahihuhu? Fopping.
I know I can't make everyone happy, and I also know that no matter how good my efforts are there will be people who won't like me. Even if I knew that, all I could do was do the best I could.
"What did Abi think?"
The sound and touch of Ummi Fazila managed to surprise me. Fortunately I did not hurt the pious woman, being surprised I almost hit her.
"Ummi came suddenly, thank goodness Ummi wasn't hurt." I said while looking at Ummi Fazila with a relieved look.
"Abi just thought, it turns out that Abi had never lived life casually. For Abi, Abi's life felt like it was on the battlefield.
Abi has a lot of money. Unfortunately, Abi never enjoyed this life. Abi is jealous to see Abi's friends spend their money on vacation where they like.
While Abi? Abi's life started in the office and ended in the room. In the office Abi works like a madman. And at home? Abi started crying. Without Abi knowing eight years Abi passed like that.
Really am... Abi never dreamed a day like this would come in Abi's life. The day Ummi smiled without burden.
Ummi's smile, Ummi's touch, Ummi's advice, the chanting of Ummi's holy verses, even the sound of Ummi's breath. All that makes Abi happy, happy is amazing." My words were long and wide, and the moonlight tonight seemed to tell me that God loved me very much, and I felt blessed.
Ummi Fazila draped a thick blanket over my burly body. Understandably, the weather is cold lumanyan because it is now entering midnight.
"Abi doesn't have to say it anymore. Ummi knows everything. It's so cold in here, let's go in?"
Ummi Fazila pulled my arm, unfortunately I don't want to lose this beautiful moment. I even pulled Ummi Fazila. It was so close that we could hear each other's heartbeats.
"Pig... Shame, ahhhh!"
"Thy? On whom? At Lunii?" I pointed towards the sky while chuckling. The Ummi Fazila I asked could only sigh harshly.
"The moon should be ashamed of Ummi's beauty." My welcome again, I tried to tease Ummi Fazila as well as melt the atmosphere, occasionally I even pinched her bangir nose.
"Ummi is beautiful, it's because Abi is looking at her." Reply Ummi Fazila without removing a smile from her thin lips. He was so excited, I myself was confused where he got that spirit from.
"It's midnight, let's take a break. Tomorrow is a big and exhausting day for all of us." The Ummi Fazila. He hugged me for a while, then pulled my arm slowly. We left the balcony walking in tandem. Leaving the balcony still filled with moonlight.

The week everyone was waiting for with feelings of dag, dig, dug, finally came too.
Everyone seemed to be busy with their own business. No one asks why this is so and why is it so? Everyone looked the same, as if today they were the brides instead of Araf and Sabina.
Fazila's friends say, Doctor's uncle will take a pretty aunt and won't let her go home to Oma either. What if Fazila can't meet a pretty aunt again?"
Hearing Fazila's words made me smile thinly. Her plain face and short babbles felt very warm.
"Darling, a pretty aunt will still be your pretty aunt. You'll even get a new uncle. Don't you like it when Uncle Doctor becomes a pretty aunt's best friend?"
"Fazila likes, Ummi. Fazila really likes it if Uncle Doctor becomes a good friend of aunt Sabina. Fazila likes both of them!" My daughter's babble again, this time she was more spirited in the previous appeal. Her smile explained everything.
Last week Fazila complained that she did not like her new school, the sweet child had always been moody for the past few weeks. It seemed, Sabina's happy moment brought a new smile to her days. And it was stupid of me to not see the change in Fazila. The pregnancy I'm feeling right now is much heavier than when Fazila cravings. Maybe that's all I have to defend myself from my poor attitude.
This pregnancy put me under pressure. I don't like to smell fragrances, even if Abi Fazila did it I asked him to leave me alone. I feel nauseous every time I wake up in the morning, which I eat always comes out as if food has become my enemy.
I get tired easily even if I walk for a while. Like this time, I feel tight. I don't know what kind of days I'm going through for the next six months.
"What is Ummi doing here?"
I flinched, Abi Fazila's voice really surprised me.
"Ummi's just looking for some fresh air, Bi. Inside, Ummi felt tight. Just now Ummi was with Fazila, the sweet boy said he wanted to meet his aunt. He left with a smile." I said as I grabbed Abi Fazila's fingers.
"If Ummi feels tired, Ummi can rest in the room. Abi will ask the hotel staff to escort Ummi. How's it?"
"It's okay, Bi. It's just for a second. Ummi wants to dissolve in the happy Doctor Araf and Sabina. Ummi promises, if Ummi feels tired, Ummi will ask Nana to take Ummi to the room. Is Abi feeling relieved now?"
There was no reply from Abi Fazila other than a nod of the head alone. He smiled as he tightened his grip on my fingers. I don't know what he was thinking until he knelt in front of me.
I held Abi Fazila's shoulder and tried to help her stand up, but still Abi Fazila was angry. And see? Dozens of eyes looked at me with sharp gazes, as if their gazes were saying I was a cruel wife.
I started biting my lips, hiding my face in a way of ducking because I didn't want people to look at me with astonished looks.
"Bie... Getup! What did Abi do? Take look? Everyone looked at Ummi with a sharp look. Ummi doesn't want others to think Ummi's wife is cruel." Say it again in a soft voice. Instead of hearing my words, Abi Fazila kissed my stomach. It's totally beyond belief.
"Hi son, how are you? Are you happy in there? Look at your Umm condition, you really got her in trouble. You can't be naughty. Be a good boy like your sister, Fazila.
Abi loves you both very much. Thank you for coming into Abi's life. Abi promised Abi would be the best father in the world, but you also had to promise to take care of your Ummi.
You can't make him tired. Youunderstand?" Abi Fazila said at length, he spoke in front of my stomach while shedding tears.
Abi Fazila started rubbing my distended stomach regardless of the invited guests staring at us with astonished gazes. Usually I am very shy, somehow this time I feel mediocre. Some pairs of eyes that looked at us could only duck in salute, some were smiling as they walked towards the Ballroom where Araf and Sabina joined. Although I felt uncomfortable, I had to force myself to the wedding of Araf and Sabina because this beautiful moment only happened once in a lifetime.
