Rindang prepared various dishes to welcome his in-laws. Valerie will visit Rindang and Levin's house for the first time. Although the food was not Rindang's own cooking but he was quite tired because his stomach was also enlarged. The shady is hard to move.
Levin had told her not to have to prepare a lot of food for her parents. But Rindang wants to give his best, this is a form of gratitude because Valerie can finally accept him as a daughter-in-law.
"That's their car." Levin sees his papa car stopping in front of the house. Levin rushes to open the gate while Rindang goes to the room to call Ravina who is also so excited to welcome Akong and his Ama.
"Good new year, Vin." Michael hugged Levin and patted his back. "Hopefully this year you and your Leaf will have many blessings and happiness."
"Aamiin, thank you Pa." Levin also hugged his mom and lastly said happy new year to Meylin. "We should have come to Papa and Mama's house."
"We can understand, Rindang is also not possible to travel far with her pregnancy is old." Sahut Valerie's.
"Good new year Ko." Meylin hugged Levin tightly, he missed Levin very much because since marriage they rarely met. Meylin felt very lonely at home but seeing Koko happy with Rindang, he became less worried.
"What would you like a present from Koko?" Levin asked his brother.
"Shop has to pass the chops and be a great doctor."
"Soko did not hear wrong, Meme is very mature now."
Meylin blushed being praised like that by her Kokonya. If Levin still lives at home, maybe Meylin will never thrive and still like to act spoiled.
"Ravina!" Meylin exclaimed to see Ravina at the door, "Ai miss you so much." Meylin carried Ravina even though she had to use extra energy.
"Ravina also miss Ai Meylin." Ravina's eyes twinkled at Meylin.
"Your hair is so funny, who made you a pussy?"
"Mama."
Rindang wishes her parents-in-law a happy new year and thanks them for taking the time to come here.
"I can't wait to see him." Valerie rubbed Rindang's stomach, for her the fetus in Rindang's stomach is currently still her first grandchild.
"Ma, Ravina's so cute in a red dress." Michael takes over Ravina because Meylin looks troubled holding her.
Valerie only glanced at Ravina for a moment without replying to Michael's sentence. Honestly, Ravina does look adorable in the red dress. But Valerie would not praise him.
"You have to eat, Rindang has everything ready." Levin's bringing everyone in.
"But I don't cook by myself, everyone buys." Timpal Rindang before they thought if the food on the table was the cuisine.
"It's okay, you're pregnant this big don't get tired."
Shady was relieved that Valerie did not mind that. Levin had also told that but still Rindang was worried. He is also not very good at cooking.
They sat around the dining table for breakfast. Valerie and Michael did skip breakfast at the hotel because they wanted to eat with Rindang and Levin.
"There's no Hong like that?" Meylin looked at all the dishes on the table, there was one menu that was always in his house every day but not here.
Valerie and Michael looked at each other, why Meylin suddenly asked about the preparations that Rindang and Levin could not eat. Perhaps because Levin had not lived at home for a long time, Meylin forgot that his Koko had embraced Islam long ago.
"Meylin wants Hong like, Cece's the henchman now." Rindang picked up the phone that was on the table. Rindang knows the non-halal Chinese restaurant that used to always be his favorite place to eat. Hong bak in the restaurant was very tasty, Rindang would order it for Meylin.
"Is it okay to pair non-halal food with halal food?" Michael asked, he did not want to make a mistake.
Meylin pleaded, he forgot that Rindang and Levin could not eat pork.
"No, I'm sorry I forgot." Meylin linked his two hands in front of the chest apologizing to Rindang. He also apologizes to Levin and Ravina even though little Ravina doesn't know what makes Meylin have to apologize to him.
"No, it's okay, Cece pesenin."
"No, no, I'm eating this."
"Thank you for understanding." Levin said to Meylin, he understood if Meylin forgot.
Rindang put his phone back, but he did not matter if Meylin did want Hong like. They keep the food from mixing.
Meylin cursed himself inwardly, how could he possibly forget something as important as this. That was because Meylin always ate Hong tub at home.
"Mama make clothes for your child." Valerie took out a jacket, nightgown and some hats that she knitted herself for the next child.
"Geez Ma, this is great, Mama made it all by herself?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"There are still many Ma, even though Mama is busy but still looking to make clothes."
Rindang's eyes glistened at the three beautiful blue, yellow and gray knit jackets. To make one jacket alone takes a short time.
Since finding out Rindang was pregnant, Valerie began knitting clothes for her future granddaughter. It was his dream a long time ago even before Levin got married.
Valerie didn't like Rindang just yet because of her illness. Valerie had predicted that Rindang could not be pregnant. But it turns out Rindang managed to get pregnant, it finally makes Valerie can accept it.
"Mama, is this a dress for my sister?" Ravina pointed at the clothes and saw her mother.
"Dear, good, Ama made it."
"Good." Ravina. "Ravina also wants a dress like this."
"Want to buyin ya." Rindang rubbed Ravina's head slowly, afraid to damage the hair that he had arranged in such a way.
Ravina was speechless, her face implying disappointment. His Ama made the shirt just for sister even though Ravina also wanted it.
"Mama, Papa and Meme nginep where?" Levin asked, he picked Ravina up to sit on his lap. He could see the change in Ravina's countenance. Surely Ravina also hopes Valerie makes clothes for her as well.
"In her resort, Ms. Alisha, what's her name Pa?" Valerie sees Michael, she doesn't remember the name of the resort where they spent the night.
"Sort Jinggo." Answer Michael.
"It was because of necessity, Meylin asked."
"But the place is really good, Ma." Meylin defended himself, he was already looking for an inn that had a beautiful view in Banyuwangi. Resort Jinggo one of them and Meylin was satisfied with the scenery presented. He wants to stay here longer.
"Yes, anyway." Valerie could not deny that the place was indeed good.
*******
Clothes for the prospective baby are already shady prepared in a special closet. Not much new because Ravina's clothes as a baby are also many and still worth wearing. They know the sex of the baby after several USGs. Rindang will soon have a second daughter. Shindang could imagine how adorable it was to have two daughters.
Rindang hang jumpers and knit jackets made by Valerie along with other clothes.
"Ravina when do you want to go get some clothes?" Rindang asked Ravina who was coloring on the bed.
"Ma, Ama made her own clothes for sister?" Ravina raised her face, distracting from her picture book.
"Yes, Ama likes to knit she said so she made clothes for her sister."
"But why did Ama never make Ravina?"
Rindang was surprised not to expect that Ravina would ask like that. Rindang regretted not thinking about Ravina's feelings.
Rindang stepped up and sat down beside Ravina who was lying on her stomach while coloring the scenery picture.
"Not that Ama does not want to make, but Ama will be busy continuing to Ravina is also already big so Ama is not perfect to make Ravina."
Ravina was speechless digesting her mama's sentence.
"So Ama doesn't want to make Ravina?"
"Yes, Ama wants to make but not perfect, Ama will work all day in the operating room," Rindang raised Ravina to sit opposite him. "eh how if Mama makes clothes for Ravina ya now."
"Mama can?"
"Mama really want to make knitting clothes for Ravina but unfortunately Mama can not be so must learn first, Ravina want to not sew a dress?"
"But Mama makes dresses often."
"Ravina won't?"
"You."
"Yes yuk, choose the same cloth as Mama." Rindang carried Ravina to his study where he kept his collection of cloth materials there.
Leafy open drawer special material chiffon fabric with various colors. It was one of the fabrics that Rindang usually used to make dresses.
Ravina chose a pink color that was directly approved by Rindang. After that Rindang chose a matching colored satin fabric to be used as a combination with chiffon material.
"Let's make a pink ribbon too."
"Yes." Yeah." Ravina nodded excitedly. Although he has often accompanied Rindang to sew clothes but he is always happy when doing that.
Looking at her design sketchbook, she drew a lot of dress designs for children. After finding the right design, Rindang immediately made a pattern.
As long as Rindang can make a lot of clothes for Ravina. After giving birth, she won't be able to do it. Moreover, this is Rindang's first experience giving birth, it certainly feels much different compared to when taking care of Ravina.
