Melisa finally chose to go home, letting Dea stay with Rehan in the city of A. She went to her hometown alone by public bus, her husband was unable to come along because of the demands of the job.
During the journey, the woman's heart was not calm, she daydreamed all the way.
What if Dea wakes up and searches for me, but I'm not there?
What if she's disappointed in me and thinks I'm the mother who left her?
How can I break up with him for so long?
Although I believe in Mas Rehan, but still only I am able to love him with all my heart even more selfish.
If he wanted to pee in the middle of the night, would anyone faithfully drive him to the bathroom? or leave him alone, forcing him to become independent at the age of a toddler?
That's how the woman's mind, she could not bear if her toddler son was forced to be independent at a age that really still needs the affection of his mother.
"Neng, stop at the terminal?" Kenek
"Oh yes sir." Melissa
After arriving at the terminal, he continued his journey to his parents' house using an ojek.
The woman was half-hearted in her choice now, but she had already gone to city B. He just hoped Dea had no trouble as long as he left.

"Assalamu'alaikum, " Melisa has just arrived, she sees the slightly changed atmosphere of her parents' house, the house that is getting inedible with age, considering she has not come home for a long time.
''Waalaikumsalam..,'' Bu Tina was seen still wearing an apron, it seems like the mother was cooking and stopped her activities.
When he saw that the first daughter was his eldest daughter, Tina was so happy, he hugged her.
''Ah, forgive Mamah who stinks this onion, Mamah again Cook, hehe... why come do not tell first? Mamah thought it was not today, said Ms. Tina as she let go of her embrace.
''It's Mah's surprise, hehe.. '' Melisa
Ms. Tina asked her granddaughter Dea, who felt a very heavy longing for her, but she had to be disappointed that she could not carry her granddaughter, Dea was her first grandchild.
''Yes Mah, sorry.. Dea I didn't bring it because Rehan said there were no friends when Andea was taken. Hehe.
''Yes gapapa Nak, come on in, we'll eat together..!'' ms. Tina.
Melisa eats with her family, her sisters are there too. Joking looks happy, even though deep in Melisa's heart, she misses her first child who is still a toddler even though she just arrived in the city of B.
Melisa has not even said goodbye, she leaves as Dea falls into a deep sleep, making her even more guilty, overshadowed by Dea screaming in search of her mother.
Forgive Mamah.. Forgive Mama, Dea..! Think Melisa
''Why are you Mel? Even daydream.'' Mrs Tina.
''Hmm, don't worry because Dea is with her father, surely Rehan's son takes good care of her, you can focus on your delivery..!'' mom tried to calm her son.
''Yes Mah. '' although it is difficult, Melisa has to live it.

6 weeks passed, Melisa waited but she had not yet given birth, it seems that the birth estimate is less precise, even more than 2 weeks made her take the initiative to go to do USG.
Thank God amniotic fluid is still enough, if in a week there are no contractions, Melisa is advised to do induction.
I don't want to be induced, I want to be born with natural heartburn, he said, induced it many times the pain. Think Melisa
Arriving at the home of his parents, he prayed and prayed for ease in his labor, happy mother and baby.
''Not to mention Mules as well as Mel?'' bu Tina
''Not yet Mah, but I wanted to give birth quickly and immediately meet Andea in the city of A, Melisa replied while looking down, she tried to hold back from crying in front of her mother.
***
When night falls, Melisa gets word from her husband, Rehan will come to town B to visit his wife.
Melisa was so happy, considering she had not seen Rehan for a long time, she also hoped that Andea would come with her husband to come to town B.
But she did not have time to ask more clearly when her husband came because Rehan could not reactivate her phone while she was working, yes.. He's working the night shift this week.
Melisa is so happy that she can fall asleep and forget her worries about her delivery.
Days change but there is no news from Rehan, making him worried, Melisa even repeatedly called but not lifted.
Rehan's busy times huh? But why not pick up from yesterday? Thought Melisa.
That morning she was drying clothes, she was also drying baby clothes to welcome her baby who was still at home in the stomach.
His stomach is glued, ''honey, mamah longs, mamah hope you want to mepet-cepet meet with Mamah.''
When he wants to go back into the house.
''Assalamualaikum.
The woman was so familiar with the voice of who was saying the greeting, she turned around with a blotchy smile.
''Waalaikumsalam, Mas Re.'' Melissa
But the woman's smile faded a little when she saw her husband coming and realized something.
