Yuli welcomes Adit, her only son. The middle-aged woman was so elated and immediately embraced the body of her beloved child longingly. It had been more than a month that they had not met, because Yuli had to stay with Ni Maryam for the healing process.
“How are you mah?”
“Mama good dear, you yourself how?”
“Adit? Adit is fine, of course. But yesterday Adit felt a little pain,” Adit said as he held his own chest and pretended to be in pain.
“Which part hurts? Don't make mama worry!”
“Adit pain misses,” smile rises on Adit's lips because it has managed to make Yuli panic.
“Rindu?”
“Iya. Adit kangen same mom. Really pake.”
Adit hugged the body of the woman who gave birth to him. There is a sense of relief that runs through the recesses of his heart, when he can see his mother is still alive and can stand well, especially now he seems in good health.
“What's mah?”
Adit scrunched his forehead as Yuli continued to stare at him full of telisik. For a while they just looked at each other, waiting to find out who was the winner of the face-to-face fight that was happening.
No one wants to give up. Neither Adit nor Yuli continued to wink and give up on conceding the opponent's victory.
Adit knows that Yuli is currently looking for answers to questions that seem to arise in her mind. The woman did not do the introgation like mothers in general, but she prefers to use her own way, which is to find answers from Adit's eyes.
Adit moved slowly so as not to make his mother more suspicious. Hoping that the surprise he prepared was not legible and thwarted the plan that he had neatly arranged.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” ask Yuli.
DEG
“Yaaaah... Why can you always read Adit's heart? Failed the surprise,” complained Adit.
“Pffft... ha.. haa...” Yuli's laughter broke.
Adit pursed his lips. He really could not hide anything from Yuli. The old woman seemed to have other eyes to know all the things that were kept by her. Even without Adit opening his mouth, Yuli would know what was the burden on his son's heart.
“Who?”
“Huh?”
“Who is the girl who managed to steal the heart of this mama's boy, hem?” yuli said while stroking Adit's head.
“Emm... the.. anu mah,” Adit scratched his non-itchy head.
“Who?” ask Yuli again. He could see the hesitation on Adit's face.
“But mama promised well, if mama won't be angry?”
“Ck who, Adit?”
“Zahra, mah.”
“Zahra?!”
“I yes mah,” Adit caught Yuli's surprise.
“Mak you mean.. Zahra Serena's sister? Maya's son?”
Adit nodded, he felt a little afraid of the reaction shown by Yuli. The young man knew that the surprise he had prepared for Yuli might get an unpleasant response. But either way, he needs to tell her his relationship with Zahra. Relationships that make her life more colorful these days.
“Mama angry huh?” ask Adit in the smoothest voice possible.
Yuli raised her hand, with a palm facing the face of the son. Hinting at Adit, for the young man to shut up and give him time to look for answers.
Adit according. He sat still and waited as Yuli ordered. His mind and heart were also busy looking for reasons he might use to defend his relationship with Zahra, even if Yuli refused.
“Since when?”
“Huh?”
“Since when did you guys get in touch?”
“Eee... since since Serena married Joni mah,” Adit replied.
“What?! Serena is married to Joni?! When's? When did they get married?”
“Three days after the incident that night mah, the night that mama fainted and the old man that tormented mama was also dead.”
“Mama doesn't care about the old man! I just want to know, how did Serena marry Joni? Why not with you or with another man?”
“Because it is an order from me!” ni Maryam's loud voice interrupted Yuli's curiosity.
Ni Maryam, who had not been seen since, now showed her nose to Adit and Yuli. At his age which is fairly old, but his voice remains loud and able to make the feathers brim.
“Jin Braja really likes Serena. He was willing to sacrifice himself to protect the girl. Even though he knew that he could be wiped out while fighting Ki Jarot, he still did everything for Serena. And so does a guy named Joni. He was a man who was willing to do anything for the girl. He did not care about his own life to give Serena protection. Hmh! I wonder, why they should have such a resemblance.”
“What does Nini mean?” asked Yuli who increasingly did not understand Ni Maryam's explanation.
“Jin Braja and Joni both want to protect Serena. Not only did they have feelings for the girl, but they also had the same desires. Desire to make Serena happy. That's why I ordered Joni to replace Jin Braja and become Serena's husband.”
“Why isn't my son Ni?” yuli said she didn't like it.
“Although your son has love and the feeling of wanting to protect the same is great, but unfortunately Serena does not have the same feelings for this son of yours. Right my guess?” ni Maryam asked Adit who was looking at her.
Adit's head nodded. He confirmed Ni Maryam's words even without a word coming out of his mouth.
“What does Ni affect?” Yulie asked again.
“Of course. Loving each other and loving each other will form an invisible force. It could help protect Serena from the evil that is scouting her.”
“Vilage moreover Ni? Wh who? Who still wants to hurt Serena?” ask Adit to worry.
Ni Maryam closed her eyes. Sighs slowly and gazes out of his old house.
“People who have cooperated with subtle creatures in any way, will definitely feel the impact in the future. Even if he had already removed or thrown it away, the impact would still be there. And the longer the subtle-being takes possession of the human body, the more difficult it will be to separate.”
“But in fact, Serena has been separated from Jin Braja right? They're separated, right?” Adit.
“It is precisely because of that... because Jin Braja has gone from the body of Serena, now she is instead the target of other understandings. There are invisible traces left by Jin Braja and attract attention to the jinn. The imprint that has always existed on every human being who has ever had a relationship with a subtle being. Although their togetherness is only a moment, but does not make it disappear just like that.”
“Do Serena have to have another Jin to fill the gap of Jin Braja?” Yuli was curious.
“Do not! It'll even get worse. If a short relationship will make his life in danger, especially if the relationship that should not be intertwined longer. The impact will be even worse. When the genie is in the human body for a long time, he will increasingly feel power over the body he possesses. He will refuse to be taken out, and he will be furious when he feels expelled.”
“What should I do to protect Ni?” ask Adit expectantly.
“Talk this to her husband and family. Tell him not to leave him alone for too long. Keep watching and take care of it in turn, especially when she gets pregnant. But wait!”
“Why Ni?” Adit and Yuli asked simultaneously.
“Pregnant?!” Adit and Yuli were more surprised by the words Ni Maryam they had just heard.
“Ck is fast. Great also tuh kiddo,” muttered Yuli.
“This is not good. Now the fetus in the womb is in danger.”
“Actually what danger, Ni? Please explain everything, so I can help to protect it!” adit is impatient.
“In addition to being the target of subtle creatures, there are humans with evil hearts and black forces who want Serena He wants to have that woman as a companion. And if the person finds out about this pregnancy, then the fetus is also in great danger.”
“The fetus is still in the womb, indeed what dangers can threaten the pregnancy of Serena?”
“The person will sacrifice the fetus that is still in the womb on his pet genies, so that he can become stronger.” explained Ni Maryam.
“WHAT?!!” Adit and Yuli are shocked to hear the terrible explanation about Serena.
“Capit home Dit! Save Serena and her fetus!” yuli's orders to her son. Although she doesn't like to know the truth that Serena is married to Joni, she can't let the girl she craves to be her daughter-in-law be in danger.
“But Adit came here to pick up mama, so let's go home together!”
“Not Dit. My mother is not healed yet. Mama still needs a lot of time to really recover like before. Mama can't leave now,” reject Yuli.
“But mah..”.
“I'll take care of your mama. You don't have to worry.” Ni Maryam tried to help Yuli give understanding to her son.
It was hard that Adit had to part with Yuli again. Sometimes he hates circumstances that make his happiness last. But he still remained grateful because the distance that separated him from Yuli still could he travel. They still live in the same world and live under the same sky.
“Good. Adit will be home.”
A tight hug back Adit gave to Yuli. The back of the old woman in his arms shook. He could hear the sound of a stifled sobbing from Yuli. He also felt sad, but there was something important that he now had to prioritize.
”Mah...did mama not approve of my relationship with Zahra?”ask Adit after taking off the hug.
“Whoever girl you choose to be a companion to life, mama will gladly accept it. Zahra's a good girl, of course you won't refuse. But..” Yuli hangs her words.
“But what mah?”
“Do Maya and Yudi know this?”
“They already know everything mah,” Adit replied with a smile accompaniment.
“Do they agree? They're not mad?”
“They agree. They're not angry. Even uncle Yudi asked me to marry Zahra immediately, only Adit and Zahra both need time to get to know each other more deeply. Maybe our wedding will be held in a year. Adit hope.. when that happens, mama is completely healed. Adit wants mama to be present and give blessing to Adit and Zahra.”
“Good then. My mom was calmer hearing it. Of course you have to attend your wedding and Zahra's. Mama is happy for you, baby. Why didn't Maya deny your relationship with Zahra? My mother did a lot of bad things to him! Oh yeah, my mom almost forgot. Adit, did you give the little bottle you told Maya to give?”
“Already mah. All my mother's orders, Adit's done. Now Adit wants to go home first. Adit must take care of the prospective nephew who is in the stomach of Serena.”
“Iya hurry home.”
“Adit titip mama ya Ni,” said Adit say goodbye to Ni Maryam.
---------------------------------------------
“Congratulations Yes Sir, Bu.” doctor's remarks confirm the truth about Serena's pregnancy. A smile was unceasingly etched on the face of the husband and wife who was hearing the doctor's explanation while continuing to be grateful.
Joni is the happiest man right now. Could have a woman he loved so much as a life companion, and now he has a developing baby in the womb Serena.
“His dependency is in good health, but since his fetal age is still very young, his mother must be very careful. I will also write down the vitamins that must be taken by the future mother. Once again congratulations yes,” doctor shook hands Joni and Serena.
“Thank you doc.”
Joni and Serena came out of the obgyn specialist's room with a face. The couple did not expect that their baby would be present this soon, and made Joni more protective than before.
“Are you happy?” ask Serena to Joni.
“Very! I'm very happy. I really did not expect that you could get pregnant this fast,” Joni said as she slowly stroked Serena's stomach.
“How to not get pregnant, if every night you invite me to exercise.”
“He... hee but you also enjoy it right?”
Joni and Serena join hands. Both are not at all disturbed by the gaze of mothers who are also checking the content, even among those who recognize the figure of Serena as an advertising model and photograph it secretly.
-
“Mas...” call Serena shortly after the car driven by Joni leaves the hospital parking area.
“Yes, do you want to eat?”ask Joni. He knew that a woman who was pregnant would usually experience the name cravings. It was possible, now Serena was wanting food that suddenly crossed her mind.
“Before going home, can we stop by your cafe for a moment? I want to eat there.”
Joni did not run the club business that Juan had transferred to him. And gave up the full task of taking care of the club to Yudi, his father-in-law. Joni chose to manage a simple cafe that she had pioneered for a long time. And Serena only found out a week after they officially became husband and wife.
“Of course you can. You are the mistress of the cafe owner, of course you are free to come there.”
Serena smiled at Joni's words.
“You contacted who?” asked Joni who saw Serena pick up her cell phone.
“Sekar.”
“Why?”
“Maybe he wants to eat something, so we can all buy it before going home.”
"Yes right. Now, mas can't imagine her little face that must look sweet while smiling happily because soon she'll have a sister."
"Compared to us, she even knew about my pregnancy first" Serena said.
"Our girls are great" said Joni proudly.
