Along the way back to the apartment, William's words swirled in the mind of the Hero. The man was driving while recalling the household trip he had built with Naina in recent months. Is it true, he is too excessive and crybaby to accept the fact that the woman he loves loves loves other men.
I don't know, if this is called childish, he accepted it with chest space. It's not easy to swallow disappointment and forget all the facts by pretending that he's okay. However, William's sentence simply slapped him. Simple and able to make his mind a little open.
It was late at night when the car got into the parking lot. He deliberately linger in the office so as not to meet with Naina too long in the apartment. Just spend a little time with Vienna then go to the room and sleep. This is how it works every day all this time.
A tiring household? Of course, the hero admitted it. He doesn't know when he can live a life like this. He's not happy either.

Orange candra perfectly rounded in the night sky, Wira is still unable to close her eyes. Tonight was a little different, something stuck and made his tired body refuse to rest.
The sound of the clock ticking on the wall like a calming symphony, Wira stood in front of a large glass on the wall of her room located on the highest floor of the apartment. His gaze was fixed on the car lights that still filled the road, collaborating with the flickering of street lighting. It was so beautiful, a night painting depicting him now standing in one corner of the capital.
Tired of waiting for sleepiness, Wira decided to go out of the room to enjoy red wine at the mini bar, her favorite place besides the bedroom. Hope the colored liquid can force his eyes to close immediately.
"Maomi ...."
Hero surprised. As he stepped out of the room, he saw the shadow of his wife sneaking out of the apartment unit.
"Did I see wrong?" Confused hero. Unknowingly, his feet walked towards the Vienna room. The place where his wife had been sleeping all this time.
Deg-
As soon as the door of the room slowly opened, Wira did not find Naina inside.
"That means yes .. really Naina. Is he ...." A bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Why is Naina out at midnight like this?" The hero stared at the clock on the wall, the time almost showing at 24:00.
Hero stunned. "Don't let him see Dennis again." Jealous sparkles were clearly visible in the eyes of the Hero. Although he was struggling to be sincere if one day release Naina, but his heart was still not willing.
"If that were true .. I would have killed both of them on the spot!" said the hero with clenched hands. Envy and jealousy mislead the common sense of the Hero, while his mind becomes short and cannot see from positive glasses.
Entering the room and grabbing her leather jacket, Wira hurriedly went down and caught up with Naina.
***
"Sir, did you see my wife? Pregnant woman, her height is a little below me." The hero asked the officer standing guard at the door of the main lobby that night.
"Naina's mother?" ask security, make sure.
Hero nodded.
"Just come out ahead ...."
Not yet had the guard officer finish his sentence, Wira had already run out towards the highway. The atmosphere of the road is still quite crowded, hawker sellers and food still meet the left and right of the road. Simple dining house, carts that sell snacks until heavy food looks still crowded visitors.
The hero spread his gaze around. Not looking Naina, his wife disappeared in the swallow of the earth. The man in the jacket and shorts sighed. His feelings began to worry, down the sidewalk to look for the whereabouts of the wife.
Almost twenty minutes, exploring around the apartment, the view of Wira was fixed on a peddler cart in Padang surrounded by buyers. And Wira sees Naina there, joining other buyers who are watching the seller play a fan and turn the skewer over.
The appearance of pregnant women who are wrapped in sleeping pajamas covered in a jacket can not lie. Naina's big belly was so striking compared to the others. The woman stood with her hands folded on her chest holding back the cold.
"What's Naina doing there?" The hero said slowly. His gaze did not shift, locking his wife since earlier.
Twenty minutes, Naina finally walked back with a bag containing Padang satay that made her unable to sleep quietly.
Staring at Naina's back disappearing behind the elevator door, Wira tried to chat for a moment with the security in black uniforms guarding the entrance.
"Sir, pregnant women are often out at night?" ask the hero to find out.
The security guard frowned. The question sounds strange. He clearly heard that Wira admitted that the pregnant woman was the wife of the handsome man in front of him, but how could he not know his wife went out at night to buy something on the side of the road.
"I know .. not very often, sir. I saw it a few times. But, don't know about my other colleagues. Usually the night's errands are alternating."
Hero nodded.
"Custom, Sir. Sometimes pregnant women like to want something not to know the time. It used to be, when my wife was pregnant and had an ice cravings in the middle of the night." Security is smiling.
Hero dumbfounded. He doesn't understand very well. This is her first experience, even though Naina's pregnancy this time is their second child.
"Yes, my pregnant wife is, sir. Sometimes angry. The mood's up and down. Not to mention if early, like vomiting nausea sometimes loss of appetite. If the pregnancy is large, the whole body hurts all. Tingling feet, back pain, breathing alone is difficult. It's just that all pregnant women must pass and will be unforgettable memories. Hopefully the birth is smooth, the son is healthy, sir."
"alright. Thank you." Thank you." The hero patted the security guard's shoulder while showing off a smile. The information the security guard gave him was puzzled. During Naina's pregnancy, she didn't know much about what her wife was feeling.
Walking back to her apartment unit, Wira tried to digest the words that security had just delivered to her.
***
Naina was enjoying Padang satay in the living room of the apartment when Wira stepped in. He enjoyed it too much to not realize the arrival of the Hero who followed behind him.
Staking on the food paper with a few skewers and lontong doused in yellowish broth, Naina was surprised when Wira suddenly stood before her. Rebels stood up and the food he had just bought spilled on his clothes and sofa.
"Oh my God, sorry, Mas. You surprised me." Naina hurriedly crouched down and cleaned up her food that had now fallen on the sofa and the floor, not remaining. In fact, he had just bitten a piece of meat and meat.
The pregnant woman stared sadly at the spill of food she had just bought. Wanting to cry saw the yellow liquid that had filled his brain earlier and made him unable to sleep all night.
The spirit was silent, frozen in place where it stood. He could see his wife tasting while cleaning up the food spill with a washcloth.
"I'm sorry, Nai. I didn't mean to surprise you." There was a tone of regret in the voice of the Hero.
"Yes, Mas. I'm fine," said Naina, keeping her disappointment.
***
Naina was just about to lay her body beside Vienna after changing her dirty sleeping pajamas. However, a knock on the door forced him to get back up.
The time has shown at 01.15 in the morning, the pregnant woman began to suffer from drowsiness.
"Nai, it's me." There was a voice calling out in front of the room door.
"Yes, Mas. What's up?" Naina stood in front of the door, astonished at Wira who was still not asleep.
"I've bought you new food. Eat, I've prepared at the dinner table." Without waiting for a response, Wira turned around and walked towards her room.
Naina froze in place. Almost five minutes of pecking, he only realized and commented a smile on his lips. "I guess .. I dream, Mas. Thank you." Thank you."
