"What?" Kayla reared her eyes when she heard her interlocutor on the phone.

He was sitting listless, how he could explain to his mother later about the stall they bought to open a cake shop business was still in dispute with the landlord.

"I'm pregnant with Ma" Kayla replied, hugging her mother with a tear that began to break.

"What?" Mama Hana could not hide her shock.

"I just realized it, I just remembered that it had been three months without menstruation. I just did a pregnancy test and it's really positive."

Kayla showed the results of the pack test to her mother who still did not believe, because Kayla did not show any characteristics of pregnancy after separating from Dev.

Mama Hana received and saw clearly the test equipment.

Kayla shakes.

"You know your marriage is just a contract?"

Kayla nodded.

"Then why did this happen? You should have anticipated Kayla, ", Mama Hana said frustratedly.

"I didn't think in this direction Ma, I even forgot my month's itinerary. Until I felt something was different from my body, I felt too appetizing lately, my weight also rose drastically. When I remember it's been a long time since I've been there for months, so I check."

"You don't feel sick or have vomited before?" ask Mama Hana who is at a loss for words.

Mama Hana exhaled a rough breath.

"We have to talk to Nak Dev about this, he has to take responsibility."

Kayla shook her head, her tears dripping again.

"Your son needs his father, come on Kayla? Mama is sure Nak Dev will receive you back, being a parent is not easy let alone life now. Dev should know this."

Kayla nodded again.

"No Ma, I don't think this kid has a place in their family. I should know myself, after all Bang Dev might have married Nika, I can't use my pregnancy to get back to her. I don't want to deal with her parents anymore. I don't dare."

Kayla clasped her mother's hand reassuringly.

They hugged, really heart pain Mama Hana think about the direction of the fate of her granddaughter who can only be raised by a single parent. He felt for himself how unpleasant it is to live without a husband in raising children.
