"Thank you Mama for coming" I said to Mama.
"Yes, my time did not come at the 7th monthly event of Mama's daughter-in-law," he replied while stroking my stomach which now looks real bulging.
I'm a little relieved that Mama doesn't hate me as much as I could think.
"Ayuni!" call me to Ayuni who is carrying Grace while taking care of this what needs less. It was a very young mother.
"You salute Mama!" tell me.
Ayuni hesitates to kiss Mama's hand. And clearly Mama looks ogah give her hand to Ayuni.
"How's Mama doing?" tanya Ayuni was afraid.
I looked at Mama as if to warn Mama to be kind to Ayuni. And Mama saw that.
"good. Thank God, how are you and Fuad? Your kid? Is everything healthy?" ask Mama even though it looks like a stale base.
"Allah be well, Ma." replied Ayuni.
Mama nodded and turned to me.
"Ray, I heard you quit your job, right?"
I'm nodding. "Yes, Ma. Mahfudz had long told Raya, since she knew that Mahfudz was too worried about Raya, Ma."
I thought Mama would be disappointed to hear that. But in fact Mama looks happy.
"If so, why don't you and Mahfudz stay at Mama's house first, are there Fuad and Ayuni who take care of your Ummik?"
I glanced at Ayuni. His face looks sad. I can feel what he feels. Mama showed us too much that she was kind to us.
"Great Brother, Ma! Please excuse me to take care of Grace first, it looks like she's pup." said.
I just nodded. But after he left, I resumed talking to Mama.
"Why don't you take Ayuni, Ma? She's also Mama's daughter-in-law." I said.
"You're Mama's eldest daughter-in-law, Ray. With you Mama has never spent much time with you, why even tell her to stay with Mama? Yes, you stay at your mother's house until you give birth. Mama will tell Mahfudz."
"But, Ma ...."
"Udah, anyway Mama does not like to be denied. And speaking of the news, don't think too much, my dear. You believe in Mahfudz, don't you?"
I'm nodding.
The case of the Asusila vidio that circulated had made a stir and made Mahfudz and Fuad seriously involved because Rini blatantly reported Mahfudz as an abuser of his sister after the vidio was circulated. So did Tiwi, still muddy with his statement that the man in the vidio who was with him was Mahfudz. But due to insufficient evidence, because Mahfudz has a twin and also the fact about the mole owned by the sacrilegious perpetrator in the vidio, which Mahfudz does not have, he said, making this case is still in the stage of a tough investigation. And for a while Mahfudz was placed under city arrest until the necessary evidence was gathered to establish who the perpetrator really was.
This 7-monthly event is actually only filled by studies led by Uthadz who have been chosen without the frills of ritual customs according to Ummik's wishes.
In the middle of waiting for the presence of the ustadz suddenly the phone in my pocket vibrated. There's a chat vidio coming in from a number I don't know. I opened the vidio. Looks like someone who recently messed with my life. Tiwi, he's with a guy like that Mahfudz. In the vidio the man was asleep with his lower body covered in a white blanket and the upper with a bare chest. Tiwi vidio ria by only using a tank top with men like Mahfudz as background.
Not done yet I observed the vidio, the text message chat was back in.
[Doctor, your husband is with me now, what do you think?]
I took a deep breath looking at that vidio. I spread my eyes looking for someone. Undiscovered.
"Ka-u men-ca-ri si-a-pa, sa-yang?
The figure of Mahfudz next to me was smiling charmingly looking at me. He looks handsome in a koko shirt and peci on his head that matches the clothes I'm wearing.
"I'm looking for Fuad" I replied.
"That!" Mahfudz turned his lips towards Fuad who was carrying the sleeping Grace in his arms. Fuad was about to take her to their room and Ayuni.
So they, Fuad and Mahfudz are here. So who's with Tiwi?
Instantly I remembered the figure of the man who crossed the street when Ali and I were stuck in traffic. He saw Ali kissing me back then, if it was Mahfudz and Fuad, there was no way they would have calmed down when his wife or his sister-in-law was kissed by another man? It means that the man is really a different person with the same face as Mahfudz and Fuad.
I was shocked when I realized that. I replied to Tiwi's chat message.
[Where are you? Is she still with you?] I'm just impatient.
[Why doctor? You think I lied to be with Mahfudz? You saw the evidence for yourself. He's with me because he loves me. He lied to you back then because he was afraid that you would leave him and bring your child.]
Tiwi still insists it was Mahfudz. I had to persuade him to tell me where he was. People who look like Mahfudz are important to us. He's a key witness who can exonerate Mahfudz of all charges. We have to get it.
[Okay, Tiwi. I trust you now. Please tell me where you are now. I have to finish this with Mahfudz. I have to catch her wet.]
Sorry, I lied.
[He'll be mad at me if I tell you, Doctor]
[You don't worry. He won't know if you told me. I'll say I'm tailing you guys]
Tiwi did not reply. He seems to doubt.
[You're gonna get divorced after you catch her wet?]
Oh, so this is the point he told me. I wish Mahfudz and I were divorced.
[Entai. Divorce is not that easy. But maybe I could consider getting you and her married, how?]
[Really?]
[Yes. So tell me where are you guys now?]
[Hotel Sekar Room 102. Jg. Patrice Lumumba near the market]
That innocent kid. Does he think his efforts will succeed? He didn't hesitate to give me the name of the hotel and the room number he was in with someone like Mahfud? Even if it was Mahfudz, would I not have attacked him as his wife? What is so easy is marrying your own husband to someone else. It seemed like that was Tiwi. He's easily fooled.

Raya suddenly pulled Mahfudz and took him to Ayuni's room.
"Come, Fud. You're also Fuad, you're the one with the car. We need to get there as soon as possible!" the word Raya confused Mahfudz and Fuad.
"Where are we going?" ask Fuad.
"I explain in the car later. We don't have any more time. The fuad! You borrowed Mama's car."
"Where are you going, sir Ustadznya already on the way here," prevent Ummik.
"Attep, Mik. There are things that cannot be postponed at this time. The guy's still there. We have to catch him right away. It's the only solid evidence that can release Mahfudz from the charge!" raya
"Mac-sud?" Mahfudz is still confused.
"The guy who looks like you and Fuad is with Tiwi now, we have to go there. Come on!"
Mahfudz and Fuad turned away in shock at Raya's description and now without much question they immediately followed her to the car.
"Which area is the hotel?" ask Fuad.
"Patrice Lumumba, near the market!" jabaya Raya's.
Raya was stunned when they reached the Patrice Lumumba area. As always, the area is famous for its bottlenecks. So is today. This was the same place when Raya saw that Mahfudz-like man the first time she crossed the street. Oh, so that day he was with Tiwi and arranged for her at the hotel? It is only fitting that I see them around here, said Raya.
And this place reminds her again when Ali kissed her. Raya suddenly sweated and her heart was pounding. He unconsciously bit his own lips. What if Mahfudz found out about the kiss?
"Sister-in-law, are you sick? Your face looks pale." asked Fuaf
Mahfudz also caught the unrest on his wife's face.
"Ka-u sa-kit? Ha-ru-snya ta-di ka-u tak per-lu i-kut to si-ni. Ki-ta pu-lang du-lu?"
Raya shook. "They check out later" he replied.
The hotel is not difficult to find, because it is close to the market area. Hotel class jasmine with a building that already looks pretty old.
Without a second thought, the three immediately entered the hotel. At the Raya hotel reception said there was already an appointment with someone in room 102.
This is not a hotel with a tight security system, the receptionist immediately asked the house keeping to take them to the room in question. The room is on the second floor of the building.
With the bismillah spoken before Raya began to knock on the door. There is no lawfulness. Raya forgot that Tiwi could not hear. Raya knocked again. And ....
A Mahfudz-like face was seen opening the door. A new face wakes up and only wears knee-length shorts. Raya is shocked, Mahfudz and Fuad even more. For a few seconds they were in shock. Until finally Tiwi emerged from behind the back of the man. Tiwi was also surprised to see Raya who had come to bring two men who resembled people with her. He is seen greeting Mahfudz with sign language for Mahfudz.
"Yes. I-i'm dr. Mah-fouz. A-pa who ka-u la-ku-kan in si-ni?" he asked back after answering Tiwi's question in sign language.
Tiwi with shock looked at the man who was with her. And asked in gagu language. Who can guess what 'who are you?' means?'
"Damn it! You called them here?" the man was angry.
He looked at Raya in wonder. He felt familiar with Raya's face. While the face of this twin man, it seemed like he could guess. One of them must be his enemy Waridi, the man who is the vice mayor who has paid him a fortune to change the contours of his face that previously had similarities with these twin boys. Now he feels like they're like twin 3 triplets. Anton the man's name.
"What did you do to him?"
Fuad suddenly felt angry at this man. In addition to being annoyed because his face resembles something other than Mahfudz, he was also upset to see this man was with a little boy the age of Nadya his nephew. It made Fuad feel angry. Moreover, he knew that this man was the culprit so Mahfudz and he were involved in legal problems because of the sacrilegious vidio case.
Fuad suddenly floated a crude bogem, which Anton immediately wanted to reply but was successfully detained by Mahfudz. He twisted Anton's hand so that Anton could not move anymore because his hand was twisted backwards by Mahfudz.
"That shit!! How could you do that with a minor!!!" fuad yelled out emotion as he flung his kick once more toward*********** the man, until the man screamed in pain.
The house keeping that drove them was trying to break up. So does Raya. Until finally the house keeping was gone wanted to call his colleagues to help secure the situation.
"Already, Ad. It's already! We'll take him to the police station" Raya said.
Anton was still grimacing in pain while kneeling, but he suddenly laughed when he realized where he had seen Raya.
"Why are you guys? You guys mad at me for taking this kid to the hotel? We1aq do it on the basis of liking. And this beautiful woman is your wife? Or your wife?" the question is alternately on Mahfudz and Fuad. "Ask him, he's done that with other men too, right? I saw him kissing in a car@aaq when there was a traffic jam in front of the market. Right@ is it pretty? I'm sure one of them was your husband and the guy in the car you were in wasn't one of them."
I was shocked to hear the man's chattering. So the man saw and remembered the stain on his face. Raya instantly became pale. Cold hands.
"A-pa mak-sud? Ja-ngan bi-ca-ra sem-ba-ra-ngan ten-tang is-tri-ku!" This time Mahfudz was really angry until he pressed the body of the man to almost kiss the floor.
Anton laughing. "So you're gagu? Your wife is interested in other men. I'm not lying. Let's take a pocong oath so you can believe. Your wife kissed a man in a gray car. On the windshield of his car was a letter. Wait a minute, I remember. A-raya? Raymond? Or Rayhan? Raynhard's? I forget. There's also a Hospital inscription on the door of his car, I forgot the name of the hospital but I'm sure it's related to an internal illness."
Mahfudz is like being struck by lightning hearing it. He knew the car even though this man did not specifically describe it. That's dr's car. Ali's. But Raya? Really it? Mahfudz stared at Raya in a search of honesty there.
Raya looked down, she did not dare to look at Mahfudz. His fingers were squeezed restlessly. Raya fret. And Mahfudz could see the guilt on that face. He also remembered the events of the past week. Since then Raya has often refused if she wanted to kiss him.
"Ra- yeah?" the call was like a question for Raya.
Raya did not twitch while without realizing Mahfudz his grip on the man's arm loosened because of the information he got about Raya. Anton did not waste the opportunity to escape. He immediately ran and was chased by Fuad. While Mahfudz he hardly cared about the man anymore. He's approaching Raya. He also did not care about Tiwi who had just been silent on the edge of the bed because of the shock of seeing the fact that the man who had slept with him several times was not Mahfudz.
"Ra-yeah, be-nar-ah l-that?"
Mahfudz asked Raya who was no longer able to hold back her tears.
Raya nodded as she pleased.
"Ka-u se-ling-kuh de-ngan A-li?" tanyanya.
Raya immediately shook her head.
"No, baby, no. I'm not alone with Ali. That's why we're going to a banquet in RSIA. But suddenly when the road jammed, in the car he kissed me. I didn't get to avoid. I was also surprised because at that time I saw the man who looked like you, hyks" Raya tried to explain even though she had to occasionally hold back her sobs.
"Ta-pi your ka doesn't per-nah my bi-lang pa-da, Ray. Ka-u se-mo-bil ha her two de-ngan! Ka-u ta-u di-a ma-sih me-nyu-kai-mu. Ka-u ma-sih be-ra-ni du-aan de-ngan her? You ju-ga ma-sih me-nyu-kai di-a? Se-la-in kissed-man a-pa again that su-dah ka-li-an la-ku-kan?"
Mahfudz is really angry right now. He was disappointed in Raya. The wife he expected to be holy was untouched by the other man. He cannot keep his own honor. Mahfudz was really disappointed.
"It's not like that, baby." Sobbing. "I never did anything with him. You say it as if I betrayed you. As if I slept with her, I didn't do anything, baby!"
"Ja-ngan pang-gil a-ku sa-yang, I'm sick of your bo-ho-ngan. His ka-u ju-ga berzi-na de-ngan o-rang la-in. Ter-se-rah ka-u sa-ja!"
Mahfudz immediately came out of the room with a great anger. Raya was badly hit by being accused of adultery by her own husband. Raya immediately pursued Mahfudz.
"Fuck!" call him.
But Mahfud didn't care, he went down the steps of the hotel quickly. Raya continues to chase him and try to come down with heart. But unfortunately, it turns out Fuad and Anton who had been chasing each other up to the top floor, now back chasing each other to the bottom floor. Anton, deliberately pulling Raya's body to avoid Fuad's pursuit.
Raya's body balance is so good. And finally Raya fell from the second rung of stairs from the top to the bottom of the stairs with the position of falling and lying face down to the floor.
"Sister-in-law!!!!" fuad's screams made Mahfudz who was almost at the exit turn his head.
Surprised, shock saw Raya now lying on the floor and groaning in pain. Some hotel staff are trying to help. While Fuad saw many people who helped Raya back to pursue Anton who has now managed to get outside the hotel.
"Ra-yeah!!!!" Mahfudz finally came to his surprise.
Mahfudz ran towards Raya. His wife now felt a great pain in her stomach due to the violent impact on each step of the stairs when she fell earlier. His forehead was bruised and his nose was bleeding. Raya also seemed to be short of breath. And what makes Mahfudz more panicked is that blood is seen starting to flood the lower part of the Kingdom's body.
"Yerome!!! Kingdom!!!" Mahfudz tried to call Raya to keep Raya in a conscious state.
Mahfudz without a second thought immediately carried Raya to the car to be taken to the hospital. He was panicking and also feeling guilty.
"Oh Allah, save Raya and our son" he murmured frantically as he slowly drove the car.
Every now and then Mahfudz glanced at Raya in the back seat. I don't know where Fuad was. He was confused between wanting to take this car quickly, or slowly.
"A-a-I'm not cheating, Fud!" muttering Raya among the pain she felt.
However Raya felt the need to explain this even though the aches and pains she felt were so very painful that she felt she would choose to faint rather than be conscious like this.
"A-am-lah! Oh, and you did not even a-pa!" mahfudz said anxiously.
Raya holds her stomach. He felt something strange. Earlier when her stomach hit, she still had time to feel the movement of her baby.
"Fud, ba-his baby ...."
