At midnight, Delina awoke. He feels very
hungrier. Kevin was still slitting under his blanket. Delina wears
dressed again, he wanted to make noodles to prop his stomach up. Arrive at
downstairs, the lights are all turned off. The light from outside helped Delina
get to the kitchen.
After turning on the kitchen lights, Delina searched
boiled noodles in storage cabinets. It was a little difficult because of Kevin and his family
rarely eat instant noodles. But Delina always bought instant noodles on
guards in front.
Delina found one fried noodle and two boiled noodles
in that storage closet. He took one boiled noodle, then took the pot
small-time. After filling it with water, Delina turned on the stove.
It doesn't take long until the water in the pot is boiling.
Delina put noodles in it. He opened the fridge to get the green vegetables and
also a little meatball. After the noodles were slightly soft, Delina put in the meatballs and
green vegetables.
Once everything was in the pot ripe, Delina
put it in the bowl he had prepared. Fragrance noodles taste soto meet
the kitchen made Delina's stomach even hungrier. He sat at the bar table, almost eating
the noodles were when someone called him.
“Ina. What are you doing again?”ask Alvin who woke up
in the middle of the night too.
“Dad. I hungry. Why are you awake?”
Alvin was sitting next to Delina, he was staring at the noodles on
in a bowl complete with meatballs and green vegetables.
“Where's eggs? You should have put in the eggs too
ngrebus time mienya.”kata Alvin.
“The taste of mienya is strange, well. Dad wants to eat noodles
also?”
Alvin the mangosteen, Delina said she would
make Alvin noodles first but Alvin asks for Delina noodles. “Come, share Ina.”
Delina took another bowl and divided the two noodles
that's. They both enjoyed eating warm boiled noodles on that cold night.
“Ina, I want to ask you something, can?”ask Alvin.
“What's the question, well?”ask Delina.
“If only, this were yes one day there
a woman came to this house and claimed to be pregnant with Kevin's child,
what are you gonna do?”ask Alvin.
Delina was silent for a moment, “I'll ask to separate from
hubby, yeah.”
“Why?”ask Alvin.
“If until the woman is pregnant hubby child, that means
hubby loves him and they can together take care of the boy.”saut Delina
with smile.
“But Kevin doesn't love that woman. Occurrence
just an accident with alcohol. You still want to go?”
The deg! The deg! Delina's chest rumbled for a moment, what is this
the problem Kevin faced. Could it be that woman? The woman who made
commotion in the big house. Alvin cleared his throat to resuscitate the dreamy Delina.
“Iya, dad. I'll go first while I arrive
their problems are over. I'm not pregnant yet, am I. It is not fair that
the child must suffer for the deeds of his parents.”
“If you are pregnant?”ask Alvin.
“Kan no dad and mom.”saut Delina relax.
He did not want to show his concern for Alvin
which seems to be enough stress. Alvin stroked Delina's head, he kissed
his daughter-in-law's forehead.
“Please promise not to disappear from father and
mom, Delina. We're your family now. Whatever happens, it hurts
what is your heart, never hide from father and mother yes.”
“I promise, dad.”saut Delina.
Alvin hugged his son-in-law, in Alvin's heart
promised she would never let Delina suffer. Exist or
and Amira now.
Delina held back her tears from falling. Whatever
that was, the problem they were facing this time seemed to be very serious and
Delina could only trust Alvin and Amira.

Grandma Indri's birthday is staying another day but
indri's grandmother invited all her children, daughter-in-law and grandchildren to come to her house
and stayover. Alvin was not surprised to see Giselle sitting next to Grandma
Indri. They were whispering for a moment when Delina and Kevin had already walked into
in grandma Indri's house.
“Mother, happy birthday.”kata Alvin and Amira
giving two different boxes. A gift from Amira,
one from Alvin.
“Good son. Thanks yes.”saut granny Indri.
Kevin and Delina's turn forward, Indri's grandmother accepts
a gift from Kevin but not a gift from Delina that he let fall until
the box opens the cover. A soothing fragrance came out from within
that box. Indri's grandmother glanced at the contents of the box. Delina squatted in front of grandma
Indri to pick up his gift box lying on the floor.
He deliberately took out the contents of his gift and showed it
on everyone. Indri's grandmother's hand moved to take the top scarf. Grannies
Indri really likes scarves, he always wears them to complement
his appearance. In the closet there is a special place just to store scarves
assorted brands.
Amira smiled faintly at Indri's grandmother's reaction
curious about Delina's scarf. “Ach, mom. It has fallen.
Delina, take the scarf back, it's dirty. Granny Indri does not like her clothes dirty.”kata
Amira.
“Wait, this scarf is not dirty. Put it back in
box.”indri's grandmother's ink on Amira.
Delina gave him two scarves that he still held
and the gift box to Amira. He stepped back to Kevin's side.
Indri's grandmother did not want to take off the first scarf that was now on her lap.
Delina glanced at Amira and Alvin who nodded
to him. Their plan worked. Alvin had already guessed what the reaction would be like
his mother met Delina. They're making plans when they get to grandma
Indri threw a gift from Delina, he had to behave like what.
Giselle stared hard at Delina and Kevin. It
moving from the side of Indri's grandmother, approached her daughter who was engrossed in chatting with her
Ali's. “Where the hell are you? He said they could misahin them, even more sticky like.”tanya
Giselle to Agnes.
Agnes immediately saved her phone, “I already made
they had a fight, mah. But Alvin always reconciles them again. That's
continues. I have to do it again, mah.”al Agnes made-up. Though he was fun
dating Ali.
“We have to put together a new strategy. Granny Indri again
not feeling well. Usually if so, ask for something difficult. Ye
must be ready to order food.”whisper Giselle on Agnes.
“Again, mah? We're in trouble again like time
that, how?”said Agnes.
Giselle pinched Agnes' waist until her daughter
almost crying in pain. “You don't fight mama. Watch out for you if you don't
follow orders mama.”ancam Giselle.
Agnes could only nod. She smiled
sullen for the rest of the day. Kevin and Delina seemed to be sitting in the corner
enjoy the snacks they serve for their families. Occasional Kevin
she pulled out the thin cloth that Delina had worn to see her beautiful face
that's.
“Hubby, why the hell?”ask Delina.
