Eltan could only sigh while listening to Rika's response when she found out she was pregnant. "Bang El promised to take me the honeymoon, it hasn't been done yet but I'm pregnant. You're a liar," Rika said.
"Can, we can still go but the title is not honey moon. Vacation yes," replied Eltan while returning to take the mushroom soup that will be fed to Rika. The aroma of spices that came out when opening the box cover was very strong.
"Where?" ask Rika. Eltan feeds a spoonful of rice and soup into Rika's mouth. "Where do you want it?" Eltan continued to invite Rika to chat until the contents of the supply box she held almost ran out.
"Have Bang, my stomach was nauseous" said Rika. "Ssemester break I have passed, the next holiday is still long,” said Rika while pouting. Eltan again sat beside Rika's bed after putting Rika's drinking glass. "May take the weekend" replied Eltan.
"It's just for a minute, I want it to be a little far away."
"Where?"
"Hm ... Bang El I'm dizzy again."
"Yes, you're back together again, would you like me to call a doctor?" ask Eltan while raising the blanket up to Rika's waist. Rika shook her head, choosing to close her eyes. Not long after, there was a soft snoring sign that the owner of the body had fallen asleep.
Eltan leaned against the sofa, her body feeling tired. Rushing back to Jakarta when she heard Rika was in the hospital, when she was about to close her eyes, Laksmi came to visit.
"Who's mom?"
"Mas Agha, she's looking at Kenan, Rika's pregnant?" asked Laksmi who was sitting on the sofa while looking at Rika who was asleep.
"Yes." Yeah."
Laksmi sighed, "Why don't you delay first, Rika is still in college. What's making you hard, like right now. Not everything until treated, how if the stomach is getting bigger during childbirth and breastfeeding later."
“I loved Rika and was so happy when I found out she was pregnant, even I wanted her to give birth to many of my descendants. Rika must be treated because it is physical, not contrived,” said Eltan slowly for fear of making Rika wake up.
“Mother is not sure your marriage will last,” said Laksmi who triggered Eltan's emotions. The man was about to answer his mother's babble but was not stopped because Rika who seemed to move was uncomfortable. Eltan rushed over to Rika, “Why? What hurts?” eltan asked worriedly.
Rika lay on her back to Eltan, “I want to go home, not comfortable sleeping here,” he said which is just an excuse. He heard Laksmi's words just now which immediately made him want to cry.
Laksmi approaches Rika, “Rika, you do not get spoiled. You are not a woman who can get pregnant. No need to be lebay,” said Laksmi.
“Bu, enough. Rika is sick,” sela Eltan. Rika just kept quiet while tightening her grip on the blanket. Eltan did not want to be rude to her mother, nor did she want to argue, but her mother was too late. What grudge is in Laksmi's heart to behave like that.
Not long after, Agha went into the room, had a brief stale conversation with Eltan and took Laksmi home. Rika was still in her position, lying on her side in the opposite direction.
“Honey,” said Eltan touched Rika's arm that was immediately pushed aside by her. It looks like the tiny body is shaking, because of Rika's sobs. Eltan crawled up to Rika's gurney lying down and hugging the body. “You heard what I said?”
“No, I'm deaf,” said Rika interrupted by her sobs. “Darling don't do this, your head will get dizzy if brought crying.”
“Then how should I? Terbahak, listen time Mamih.” Rika wakes up from her position followed by Eltan. Then try to get off the safe, “Where are you going?” asked Eltan while embracing Rika's body.
Rika fell silent then shifted the infusan pole to make it easier for her to step. “Rika, where are you going?” asked Eltan with a different intonation. “Mau to toilet, Bang El think there are how many destination options in this room.”
“Sabar Eltan,” he said in his heart.
Eltan could only follow Rika who walked pushing the infusion pole. Worried if suddenly his wife's body coleps. Being in the toilet, “Bang El did stand there,” said Rika.
“I wait for you, worried need help.”
Rika clucked, “Sana, wait outside. No need to buy.”
“Kepengen is also not any time,” said Eltan while turning her back to Rika.
“Mut, sleep yes. It's night,” invite Eltan because Rika is still sitting in her bed, reluctant to lie down. The woman flinched with her husband's words, “You have to rest a lot, she said dizzy,”.
“Mamih Laksmi doesn't like me being her daughter-in-law.”
Hearing Rika's words, Eltan placed her forehead on Rika's legs that stuck down, “Not so dear, she was only worried but expressed in a word that was not fitting.”
“It's Mut, don't think about it. What is clear I love you, do not doubt me.” Eltan stood up and tidied Rika's hair. “Now sleep, I also need rest. To be fit tomorrow to accompany you,” pinta Eltan.

The next morning, Rika vomits on the stainles basin due to morning sickness. Eltan helps Rika drink warm water after she expels her entrails. “You lay down again, I threw this away first.”
“Bang El, I want to go home,” Rika whine. Finally when the doctor visited, Eltan said Rika's wishes. When Eltan was taking care of Rika's return, Laksmi came back to visit Rika.
“Eltan where?”
“To cashier Mih, I want to go home,” replied Rika, her position is still lying down. “It is, why also you are long-treated. Make your husband difficult, stay with Mamih aja, Eltan must be thinking about this,” said Laksmi.
When the nurse had removed the needle, Eltan gave Rika a change of clothes and helped Rika to the toilet. “Eltan, Rika is just pregnant not disabled. You don't spoil him keep.”
“Bu, I made him this way, so it's only natural that I'm worried about his condition. This is not in order spoiled ..”
“Bang El, I can do it myself,” said Rika then let go of Eltan's hand.
In the toilet, Rika sits on a closed closet. The pregnancy hormones made her cry, she cried again. Usually he would gallantly answer the sarcastic sentence of Laksmi, but currently could only remain silent without answering.
Being in the car, Eltan decides to take Rika home to Kevin because of Rika's condition. But Rika refused, she still remembered Laksmi's words. “I can't stay on your own while I work, Mut,” Eltan said while driving. Rika who was leaning against the glass by her side returned crying without a sound.
“I want to go back to the apartment!” Eltan sighed and obeyed Rika's wishes.
When arriving at the apartment, “Loh, why sit here,” said Eltan because Rika chose to sit on the sofa, “ayo to the room, your face is still pale.” Rika shook her head, “Bang El wants to go to work?” ask Rika.
“Nggak.”
“I'm not okay even if Bang El wants to leave, I'm not a spoiled child. Soon to be ..”
“Rika,” said Eltan, “time I take care of payment, Mom say what are you?” Rika just shook her head. Eltan came back closer to Rika, “What did you say? It's because of Mom, right?”
Rika again shook her head, while biting her lips held back a cry.
