In her apartment, Reana waited anxiously. After preparing dinner for them. Reana sat waiting on the sofa in the living room. So tired of his body and soul that it made the woman fall asleep on the sofa. Reana was startled by the sound of a bell ringing.
Reana always thought, in vain to know the password lock the door of the apartment, if every time he went home, Nico always waited to open the door. However, Reana was immediately shocked because it turned out that it was not Nico who was standing at the door but Rommy with her panicked face. Reana was astonished and panicked when she saw the look on her husband's best friend's face.
"Reana, come with me to the hospital! Nico critical. Car's accident!" rommy exclaimed in panic.
Hearing such news, his head suddenly dizzy. Reana staggered back. Rommy tries to hold Reana's limp body and almost falls, but no man can't do it. Reana fell, her body jerked. The woman woke up from her sleep on the sofa. Reana's reflexes turned towards the door. The woman did not hear any bells.
Knowing the reality, Reana sat on the sofa while covering her face with both hands. Gratitude because everything that happened was just a dream. However, a dream that made his body feel tired.
It was late but her husband still did not come home, Reana cried as she pleased. Tried to contact Nico but until now the man's phone is still not active. Reana was very sorry about what happened at lunch.
The woman was crying sobbing on the sofa. While Nico, just silently heard the words of his mother. After dinner, Rayne's family gathered in the living room. Mrs. Cathrina expressed her concern because Reana who still did not show any signs of pregnancy.
"Maybe they still want to be alone dear. They were more separated than they met. Long-distance dating, once married directly separated. They may still want to date longer–"
"If you want to date, why get married? The intention of married people is not only more free dating but to form a family. Father, mother and children. If you're not ready for a family, why would you want a family?" ask Cathrina.
Nico didn't answer his mother's questions. The man just stared blankly straight ahead of him. Seeing that Mr. Alex Rayne asked his wife to shut up. The father felt sorry to see his son who could only be silent to hear the babbling of his mother.
"Poor Nico, baby. It's like he's having a problem. If not, why did he come here? It's already! Poor him, tomorrow he'll talk again" Alex Rayne told his wife to stop urging Nico.
Mrs. Cathrina was silent at last. After seeing Nico's expression that looked so sad. Nico's mother finally asked her son to stay at the house.
"Tomorrow morning we speak again. Now stay here. Tell your wife you're not coming home tonight!" cathrina's inviolable orders.
Nico still doesn't talk. Seeing that, Miss. Cathrina left the family room. Choosing to go into her room left her husband and son who had since turned so quiet.
"Rest!" said Alex Rayne.
Nico walked upstairs to his room. The man took off his black suit and put it on the back of his study chair first. Nico sat at the study table. It's been a long time that the man hasn't sat there since he last used the desk.
His eyes circled around, everything on that study table. Pen and pencil case. Reading books, even the figura that used to be always the most valuable item for him.
Nico grabbed the long-disabled figura. The man smiled as if to return the smile of the smiling beautiful girl inside the figura. Still wearing a high school uniform, the girl looks very young. Nico rubbed the glass figura following the face and body of the girl in the figura.
Nico's gaze was sad, but kept smiling. The man brought his lips closer to the figura and wanted to kiss her. Suddenly Nico stopped his intention and immediately looked at the face plastered on the figura. Nico closed his eyes with one hand. While the other hand closes the figura until it is face down on the table.
Nico lay on the bed and stared straight at the ceiling of his room. Reana's face was there. Nico misses his wife a lot, but can't get in touch because of his broken phone.
I miss you, baby, don't worry. Don't grieve. I will not betray you. I love you too much, baby, I'm not going to betray you, inner Nico.
The man closed his eyes. Hope to fall asleep soon. He wanted to forget all the trouble that was going on between him and his wife. Nico agrees to stay at her parents' house to calm her jealous self, hearing Reana be alone with her old friend.
The next day, Nico was forced to listen to his mother again. Same topic as the previous conversation. Reana is still showing no signs of pregnancy.
"You're not intentionally holding back having children, are you? Or Reana who doesn't want to get pregnant? Women today are reluctant to conceive for fear that their bodies will change" asked Cathrina at last.
"No, Mommy, we don't hold back from having children. Reana is not that kind of woman either" replied Nico.
The man did not want his mother to think badly of his wife. Nico doesn't want her mother to have any reason to blame and regret her choice to marry Reana. Nico doesn't want his mother to dislike his wife.
"This mommy's starting to worry Nico. We are a family of children. Our family, the Reana family. None of us have a big family. You are our only son. Reana is also the only daughter by her mother. Mommy just realized and Mommy is increasingly worried that these two families, is a family that is difficult to get offspring. The two families that deserted this child even united. What's gonna happen?" ask Cathrina.
"Mommy don't worry. We'll have a child. Mommy just needs to be patient" replied Nico.
"This mommy is impatient are you? Mommy doesn't agree you're married to Reana. Mommy finally gave up. Now ask Mommy to be patient? Every day Mommy is being chased by the fear that our family will become extinct. Rayne's descendants only stopped at you, how is this?" ask Cathrina.
Nico speechless. The man can't guarantee anything either. However, in his heart, whatever the reality would be. Whether Reana's pregnant or not, Nico won't leave Reana for anything.
"Mommy doesn't want to worry much longer. You have to marry again, if Reana doesn't accept you remarry, divorce her!" Cathrina's orders.
"Mommy?"
"Darling?"
Both men of different generations were shocked by the ultimatum that catapulted Ny. Cathrina. Seen Mr. Rayne disagrees with his wife's decision, especially Nico. The man protested at his mother's decision.
"No Mommy! I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna betray Reana and I'm not gonna divorce her anytime. If I don't have any offspring, I'm also very sad Mommy. Reana is too. She's also living a restless life every day, but I make sure Mommy, I won't hurt her by marrying another woman. I won't divorce her either. I'm sad but I'll accept, Mommy should be able to accept too. If this family's descendants were to be cut off, I wouldn't be making any of this seem Reana's fault. This family descendant may have been cut off for a long time if Reana had not blocked the bullet aimed at me" Nico said with teary eyes.
Mrs. Cathrina. The middle-aged beautiful woman forgot about the incident. The events that once made her family very grateful for what Reana did for her son.
