Tia took her phone to contact Gunawan.

Pajo ....

Pajo ...

The ringing voice calling out was clearly heard on Tia's phone. Hans stared gently at the wife's face. This afternoon in the midst of his busy life, Hans was willing to take time for his wife.

"Hallo."

"Hallo, Assalamu 'alaikum, Dad!" greet Tia when the phone has been lifted by Gunawan.

"Wa'alaikum hail, Tia. Momentarily I'm looking for a good place signalling."

Tia was stunned for a moment, she felt strange why the father seemed to be avoiding something. Is there a stepmother next to her father?

Tia's mind breezed towards the father. True to Tia's guess, it turns out Gunawan was chatting with his wife in front of the porch of the house while enjoying a cup of coffee.

"What's up, Tia?" gunawan asked after feeling quite safe from his wife. He reasoned that a business associate had called him. Lucky Clara while carrying the grandchild, so not pay attention to Gunawan.

"Dad, on Saturday Tia will hold a seven-month tasyakuran event Tia content. Tia hope, you can come to give a blessing to Tia and the future grandchildren of the father," said Tia with a happy smile.

"Oh, Saturday. Well I will try to come. Thank you for the invitation," said Gunawan glanced at Clara who eavesdropped on his conversation.

"Alright, Dad. Thank you, I'm okay, right?" tia asked who was worried about the state of the father.

"Oh, it's okay. Thanks for the attention. I'll come to fulfill your invitation" Gunawan said in a formal tone.

"alright. Assalamu 'alaikum, Father." Tia hung up. He felt something was wrong with his father. Perhaps his father was afraid that his wife would find out about the relationship between Tia and Gunawan.

"Why, Honey?" hans asked who looked overcastly at the wife's face.

Before calling the father, the face of happiness covered his wife's face, but after calling the father, Tia's face showed anxiety.

"Daddy is a little weird, Mom! She spoke to Tia like she was talking to her boss, ", Tia replied as she played her phone.

"Tia, give your father time to make a choice. How he will face his wife certainly takes a short time. He also needs mental readiness" Hans comforted. He did not want the wife to be sad and eventually affect her content.

"Mas Hans was right too, father once asked Tia to be patient. Buty ... Until when will Tia be patient, Mas?" Tia asked with a look of despair.

"Patience and sincerity have no limits. It's a pain if we're asked to wait. But if we force it, the result will not be good. Do you understand what this means?"

Hans calmed his wife with gentle and meaningful words. Tia nodded and smiled. He promised to wait patiently for his father.

As the two hugged each other, suddenly a waiter deliberately spilled a juice drink on the suit worn by Hans.

"Sorry, Sir. Im sorry. I accidentally spilled a drink on your suit. I'm ready to be punished, sir," said the maid with a frightened face.

"Here you go, hurry up! Tia ... Mas stay to the toilet for a while yes," said Hans moved from his seat to go to the toilet.

"Yes, Mas" said Tia.

Tia plays her phone while waiting for Hans.

"Hi, Tia ... You're getting prettier after you're pregnant" said someone by putting a red rose on Tia's front desk.

"Mas Ridho!" tekik Tia was surprised to see who invited her to speak. Tia turned her head to the right and left fearing that Hans misunderstood her while talking to Ridho.

"Become ... There's something I want to say! I'm sorry Tia," said Ridho, clenching his hands together.

Tia was flabbergasted at Ridho's attitude which she thought was too bold.

"Mas Ridho! What the fuck!! I hope you leave me soon, otherwise I will shout that you will do me evil, and then you will be fired from Ridho's mas job!!"

"But, Tia. I just want to apologize to you" said Ridho persuaded Tia to forgive him.

"Quick, Mas! Get the fuck out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for making you lose your job!" threaten Tia with a firm voice.

Netra Tia was already red from restraining the anger that was within the soul. He will not give a gap to the third person who will damage his household again. Nothing can separate her from her husband.

"Hurry, Mas!!" tia half shouted.

Ridho who was afraid because if he was reckless then he would lose his job, immediately leave Tia.

Tia sat back down with her eyes closed. Both of his hands supported Tia's bowed head.

"Darling, are you okay?" hans asked who had arrived from the toilet.

"Mas Hans's? Done already?" tanya Tia raised her head.

"You're this, asked instead of nanya. Ask you why? Are you tired?" Hans repeated the question.

"Eh, no. Tia is not tired, it's just that this is a flickering eye," said Tia lying. Tia did not want the possessive inclined Hans to make a fuss in people's cafes.

"Related?"

"Yes, Mas. Look at Tia's eyes red." Tia showed her reddened eyes.

Hans looked at Tia's red eyes, slowly Hans blowing Tia's eyes.

"Already, Mas. Had enough. It's getting better. Let's go home soon, "tia's taking Hans.

"Well, if that's what you want. Maghrib is soon too. It is not good for pregnant women to still be outdoors when maghrib arrives. In the next two days we will hold a seven-month schedule. You have to rest a lot" said Hans stroking Tia's black mane.

The two of them finally went home, leaving the cafe with a pair of eyes that looked at the two lovebirds with an angry look.

****

Two days later, the seven-monthly Tasyakuran takes place at Tia's house. The bright morning made Tia excited.

"Mas, isn't all this overkill?" tia asked Hans while smiling happily. Because unexpectedly Tia, the husband threw a party so magnificent just for mitoni–feast seven-monthly pregnancy. Makes Tia feel happier, because she feels privileged.

Hans touched the face of Tia who was already so beautiful. "There's nothing superfluous if it's for you and our child-to-be. I'm happy to do all this. Hope you don't mind." He clasped both hands of Tia full of affection.

"Of course not, Mum. I am so happy to be treated so special. Thank you." Thank you."

"Together." Hans kissed Tia's forehead. "Looking at you like this, it feels like I want to keep you locked up all day in your room." He smiled ignorantly who was immediately rewarded with a punch by Tia.

Hans chuckled at getting a spoiled blow from his wife. "We're out now? People must have been waiting."

"By, Mas."

Hans also held Tia's hand, walking side by side to the back garden of their house which was decorated in such a way as to enliven the event.

"Honey," said Ningsih–Hunya Hans while scattering hugs when he saw his favorite son and daughter-in-law arrived at the end of the stairs. "You are so beautiful."

Tia laughed when she heard the praise from the in-laws, but still kept her manners.

"Thank you, Mom. Thank goodness."

Ningsih curled a smile. "Where are you today? Is everything all right?"

"Thank God, Mom. I'm pretty fit."

"Thank God" said Ningsih holding Tia's other hand and turning to Hans. "Let's go there!"

Tia and Hans were shaking their heads together. Seemed obvious happiness emanated from the look of his third face. Ningsih was very fond of the kind and humble Tia.

Ningsih is proud to be the mother-in-law of the woman. He is also happy because he saw the child who also looks happy after marrying Tia. Ningsih was confident that she could trust Hans to her. Tia is a good woman and will certainly be able to take good care of her child.

Immediately the nuances of Javanese custom mitoni welcome the arrival of the three. Various live flowers that decorate every corner of the garden give off a distinctive fragrance aroma. Some of the guests who were present immediately approached Hans and Tia, offering congratulations and prayers.

The happy couple replied with gratitude every thread of good words that the people said for their families and the children in the womb.

"Tia," call Meri who immediately approached Tia–kissing her mother's hands reverence.

"Ma, thanks for coming."

"Together." After going through so many events, now Meri's heart began to open for Tia. He began to accept his existence as destiny. Although not wholehearted yet, but at least his current attitude was already much better than before.

"Ma." Hans kissed Meri's hand politely.

"Congratulations, yes." Meri patted her daughter-in-law's shoulder. Hans is a really good guy. It is unfortunate that Wulan used to act when she was still his wife.

If only Wulan had been kind, perhaps now the one standing beside the man was her. But yeah, what else? After all, it is not free from his mistakes that were easily consumed by the instigation of the child and approve of their divorce. Though viewed on any side, Hans was clearly far superior to Ridho everything. It seems like the fate of Wulan is indeed less fortunate.

"Good morning, Tia," said Clara who diverted the attention of Tia, Hans, and her mother who was chatting. The woman stood up gracefully while carrying a large gift box.

"Mrs Clara." Tia seemed to feel uncomfortable seeing his presence. However, Tia tried to look ordinary, welcoming Clara well, because she was her guest now. He came to her and kissed her hands unkindly followed by kissing the right and left cheeks. "Thank you for coming" said Tia politely.

"Either. How are you doing?" tanya Clara is stale.

"Thank God, Miss Clara please sit down." Tia invited Clara to sit at one of the guest tables.

"Thank you for coming, Miss Clara." Hans also greeted with courtesy.

"Hans." Clara smiled kindly. "Together."

"Where is Mr. Gunawan. Did he not come?"

"He's coming, Hans. Maybe we'll be here soon. He said his phone was left in the car, so he went back to the parking lot." Clara switched on Meri.

"Good morning, ma'am, how are you?" greet Clara to Meri.

"Thank God be kind, madam." Meri smiled stiffly. Meri is nervous when dealing with Clara, which means Gunawan is there too. When Meri feels uncomfortable, the article he will meet with the perpetrator of the crime.

After meeting Clara and other guests, Hans and Tia begin the procession of mitoni. Opened with prayer and continued with sungkeman. Tia sat down in front of her husband.

"I can't be your perfect wife yet, Mom. Sorry for always bothering you. Today I ask for your prayers and wishes, hopefully during childbirth will be given smoothness and safety" said Tia when kissing the hand of the husband.

"Amen. You don't have to be perfect to be my wife, Tia. Enough to be yourself. God willing I will always pray for you and our future children. Thank you for keeping your body well." Hans stroked the top of Tia's head adorned with many jasmine flowers and kissed her forehead.

After sungkeman to the husband, the event was continued sungkeman by the prospective father and future mother to Ningsih– Hans' parents.

The host uttered a few sentences of escorts that moved Tia and Hans away. Ningsih prayed for Tia and the granddaughter in the woman's womb, then turned to Hans, giving him advice to be more patient with Tia, because pregnancy hormones are sometimes annoying.

Finished with Ningsih, the couple then sungkem at the feet of Meri and Cahyo. Both ask for prayers from them for the smooth procession of the later lahiran as well as the goodness of the baby in the womb. The series of mitoni events took place solemn and shahdu, making anyone touched, except Clara. He continued to look at Tia's face from a distance, then glanced at the husband who was now sitting on the side.

Clara could see Gunawan–'s happy face while watching the silence, full of suspicion. It made her wonder what her husband was thinking.

Gunawan looks very interested in the series of events that are taking place, until not a second away from Hans and Tia. In her mind, she was imagining herself sitting there receiving a condolence from Tia and Hans. But it is only an impossible delusion, now only prayer can be offered in the heart. May his children and future grandchildren always be in the protection of God and always be healthy and happy.

"Tia's pretty?" ask Clara to fish Gunawan. "The eyes are very similar to yours."

The deg!

Gunawan immediately turned to his wife. "The similarity of the shape of the human limb is not impossible, Ma. The ones with such eyes were not just Papa and Sinta. Other people also have the possibility of similarity."

"Yes but still, Pa. Why the look-alike must be so coincidental Tia. Weird right?" Clara glanced at her husband cynically.

His arrival here was not purely to attend the invitation, but wanted to find out about Gunawan and Tia's relationship. He was very curious, what was between them? Why does Gunawan always secretly meet the boy?
