At Laila's house.
Tok...
"Assalamualaikum, Laila,"
The woman heard the voice she had been waiting for for for the past 2 days. He deliberately did not reply to messages or calls from Alif. He wanted to know how far the man would defend himself. A meaningful smile fell on the corner of his lips.
"Waalaikum hail, what did Mas come here for?"
Laila was still acting a little taut.
"Laila, I know you're offended by my mother's attitude. I'm sorry to you, I beg you not to avoid me,"
"Come in, Mas,"
Laila did not answer, she told Alif to come in so as not to hear the neighbors. Alif according to, he was sitting in the living room. The door of the house is wide open, he does not want anyone to misunderstand their existence in the house.
"Maybe we haven't made a fool of Mas, like your mother said I don't deserve to be with you" Laila said.
"You're talking about Laila, you're a good woman. Please don't listen to my mother, she is, '" Alif replied.
"Then what exactly do you want from me?"
"Of course I'm serious, I want to go further with you. I'm just waiting for my divorce process to finish, after which we can get married,"
Alif tried to convince Laila.
"But your mother doesn't like me, Mum?"
"You don't worry, I will always protect you,"
Alif stared fixedly at the two Laila beads. But his words were unable to make Laila believe him just like that.
"What guarantee will Mas always protect me? I already know all your love stories. I don't want my fate to be the same as Rania's, to suffer life because you've always stood up for your mother even if she's wrong,"
Alif fell silent, he remembered his marriage with Rania that had run aground. It was the biggest regret of his life. To waste such a precious woman because of her own selfishness. He wasn't sure he would be able to make Laila believe him now.
"I know I was wrong to make my household run aground. But I'm so sorry and promised to fix everything,"
Alif took a deep breath.
"I'm not a perfect man, but the rigors of life have taught me many lessons. I don't want to lose the person I love for the umpteenth time, I'm resigned if indeed you can't trust me,"
Laila looked at him so deeply, her eyes filled with sadness. He seems to be serious about that.
"Okay, let's just try. I will not avoid it anymore. I'll convince myself. If after you divorce I'm sure, we can go even further,"
The two had already made a deal to go through everything like running water. They also promised to defend the chest whatever their decision later.

Next day.
"Mas, wake up Mas,"
Rania woke her husband up in the morning blind. Even the dawn Adhan has just reverberated.
"Why Dear? Does your stomach hurt?" asked Rangga who saw his wife biting her lower lip.
"Not Mas, it's. um, I want it..."
"What's? This half you want to fuck, honey?"
Rania's ambiguous remarks made her husband misunderstand. Hearing his wife say she wanted it, made her 45.
"What the hell is Mas... I want to eat seblak, egg, chicken claw, chicken dumpling, just complete,"
Rania is seen swallowing her saliva imagining the delicacy of the food she wants.
"What, seblak? At this hour, does anyone sell?"
Rania's sad-looking face made her husband unbearable.
Rangga immediately changed clothes. He started driving his car in no direction. He began to go around watching the food vendors who had been open but there was no seller seblak. He immediately asked for help from his brother, friends, employees, all he sent messages. He even created stories on all of his social media accounts.
Rangga was so frustrated. It turns out that obeying a wife who is cravings is not as easy as imagined. All the applications he had opened, but there was not a single menu that his wife wanted. Suddenly his phone rang.
"Halo Rangga, are you seriously looking for this hour?"
"Well, how else, my wife is cravings. He's eager to eat something, Gus,"
"Oh, pantesans. Yes you have come to my house now yes, let my wife make it. Coincidentally he also has a cafe that has a menu before, so there must be stock material at home,"
"Seriously you? Yeah, I'm not there,"
Rangga was so excited, his friend's Nice house was not far from there especially in the morning blind like this must be the streets are still quite empty. After 15 minutes he arrived.
"Let's just go in, it's gonna be over soon,"
It was nice to welcome him in front of the house. They are friends studying abroad. Bagus is a successful entrepreneur in the automotive field, while his wife does business in the culinary field.
"But my wife wanted a little egg, a claw, chicken dumpling, then what else was it, I forgot," said Rangga.
"Quiet, there's all, anyway,"

It had been almost an hour that her husband had left but not yet returned, Rania felt guilty for making her go around. He knew there would be no sellers selling in the morning blind. But he wanted that food very much.
"Assalamualaikum, honey I'm coming,"
Rania hugged her husband.
"Mas, sorry it's been a hassle. I don't care if there isn't one" Rania said.
"Who said no, let's quickly eat mumpung still warm," replied Rangga.
"Seriously, can you get it?"
Manik Rania sparkled, he felt so happy that he jumped with excitement.
"Darling not to be, remember you're pregnant,"
Rania kissed her husband's cheek, she was moved by his struggle. Rangga immediately opened up as little as he brought, all complete and just eat.
"Hmmm... yummy Mas, where did you buy it?"
Rania chewed voraciously while continuing to speak.
"Slowly eat. There's a secret, the secret,"
"Nyam, nyam, nyam... It's as good as anything I've ever eaten. Next time I have to take me to his place, yeah,"
Either because it feels so good or because the baby's birth his wife so so. He was very happy to see the happiness of his wife's face. He is willing even though he has to be every day like this, the important thing is that his wife and baby in his stomach feel happy.
"Jeek.. huek..."
Having just finished eating, Rania regurgitated all the food. Rangga was very panicked because his wife took out even more than he had just eaten. Rania was limp, her stomach ached, nauseous, her head was also slightly dizzy.
"Honey, you're making me worry. We'd better go to the doctor, okay?"
Rangga anxiously looked at his wife who was limp on the bed.
"I don't think I'm going to get out of the house, Mom"
Rangga remembered with his acquaintance's doctor, hopefully it can help.
"Good morning, Doc. Sorry to interrupt this early in the morning,"
Rangga immediately explained his point. Doctor Dila is willing to help, he will arrive within half an hour.
"Darling, be patient... Love ... Honey wake up,"
Rangga was surprised when he turned his head, his wife was already in a closed state of eyes.
