Alva ran after getting out of his car. He passed through the front door and immediately ran towards his room and Arana's room. Every step brings happiness. The waiter was gathered in front of the door of his room and Arana's room. When they turned around and realized her presence, they smiled full of congratulations that made Alva's heart grow stronger.
Alva nervously stepped towards the door and stared ahead. Arana was sitting leaning on the head of the bed with Arletta displaying a happy mimic, telling a lot of things besides the wife who listened with a smile.
"Darling?" Call her.
Arana turned her head, which made Arletta turn her head as well. The pair of beads were staring at each other. Alva looked at Arana before seeing the girl flashing a smile so sweet and so gentle, full of affection that made Alva's eyes turn red. He slowly stepped closer to Arana, crouched down beside the bed with one leg and looked at the wife.
Arletta gave time to Alva and Arana by not saying anything and just smiling.
"Darling, you ..." Alva could barely continue her words. All his words seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Arana gently nodded, grabbed Alva's hand and gently placed it on Arana's flat belly. "Our baby, Al."
Arana's statement made Alva's eyes turn red. There was a puddle of water in her eyes as she laughed happily and hugged Arana gratefully. Alva could not express how much she loved Arana who was so perfect for her. The girl had sincerely loved him, sincerely by his side, and now she had even given him a precious baby and was the result of the love of both of them.
"Darling, I .. I .. I am truly grateful."
"Thank you! Thanks, baby!"
Arana smiled and returned Alva's embrace was no less tight and full of gratitude. Although Arana will face more things in the future because of this pregnancy, Arana is ready with the possibilities that have happened. Can Arana be selfish? If she ever has to leave, Arana wants to have half of Alva's life to herself.
"I'm also very grateful, Al. Today is the day I feel the happiest in my life, and it's all because of you."
"You are the perfection of my life, Al."
...***...
"Nana's pregnant?"
Johan jumped off the bench when he heard what Arletta said across the phone. The woman joyfully conveys the news of Arana's pregnancy to Johan, which of course makes Johan surprised, but also happy not to play.
He said in a tone filled with disbelief. "I'm going to be a grandpa?"
[Yes, baby. We'll be grandparents. We'll have our first grandchild! I am very and very happy!]
[If she was a girl, I wish she would be as beautiful and sweet as Nana, and if she was a boy ..] Arletta's voice paused a little. [I hope that he will be as handsome and brave as Alva, too, as sweet and as cheerful as Theo.]
Johan's face displayed a veil of sadness that he could not hide. His blue bead looked at a family picture on his desk and he sadly smiled. "Darling, it's all over. I hope so, too, but Theo is happy there, so, we don't have to continue to linger in grief, do we?"
[Yes, baby. I just miss him. Our precious little son.]
Johan closed his reddened eyes when he heard the sound of Arletta breaking. "Honey, please tell Nana. Tell her that I may not have been able to directly meet her to congratulate her in person. I'll call her later and when I get home I'll bring her a present."
Arletta, who is currently making milk for Arana, smiled after she wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes. "I'll tell Nana. Honey, take care of your health there, okay?"
[Yes, you too.]
After saying a few more words, Arletta ended the phone call and calmly lifted the special milk glass for pregnant women recommended by the doctor and led her to Arana's room.
"Honey, drink the milk first."
Arletta opens the door and finds Arana still in Alva's arms. Arana looks at Arletta with a gaze as if finding a savior and waves to Arletta. "Mama.."
Arletta frowned and walked towards Alva and Arana before resolutely dragging Alva's ears. "Nan, pity Nana if you hold on!"
Alva withdrew from Arana and looked at Arletta with a frown. "I'm happy, mama. Al will be the father for the first time in Al's life, and Al's heart truly feels a joy that Al can't stand."
"Yes mama knows you're happy, but pity Nana's hardship because you keep hugging. You better get out there and tell people that your wife is pregnant than to do something troublesome. You're also happy to show off, aren't you, usually?"
Arletta's words made Alva look pondering before nodding her head. "Mama's right, I'll tell my friends. But later after Nana's gestational age is exactly one month old."
"Thank you, ma." Arana accepted it with gratitude and calmly sipped it under the gaze of Arletta and Alva. Chugging up to half a glass, Alva suddenly spoke beside him.
"Dear, I want to."
Arana turned her head and raised her eyebrows. He looked at the glass in his hand and lifted it up a little, "You want to drink this?"
Alva nodded her head. Arana confusedly handed her milk glass and let Alva down the pinkish liquid in a good mood. Arletta looked at Alva and suddenly chuckled. "It looks like Alva cravings."
Arana and Alva turned to Arletta. Alva raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Nwidam? What the hell, ma? Where there are men, cravings. Al just wanted to taste the drink my wife drank because it looked good."
Arana seemed to ponder before saying, "But I've read a book, and said a man can indeed crave, dear."
"Well, I think I've heard of it." Alva sighed but smiled. "By the way, how did you know you were pregnant, honey? Are you feeling unwell and seeing a doctor?"
"It's actually because of mom."
Flashbacks
Arana was walking towards the main hall when she suddenly covered her nose as soon as it passed through Arletta's room. Arletta who just happened to come out of her room immediately frowned looking at Arana's behavior.
"Na, what's wrong?"
"Sorry, mom. Nana was shocked by the smell, so sharp." Arana muttered while trying to hold her breath so as not to breathe too deeply into the scent of perfume from Arletta's room which was just finished bathing.
Arletta silently pondered for some time before closing the door of her room and pulling Arana towards the sofa after opening the window. Arletta sat down beside Arana and looked at Arana with a serious look.
"Na, to be honest with mom, have you been getting sick lately in the morning?" Ask Arletta.
Arana reminisced a little before nodding. "Only a few times, ma. Nana hasn't eaten yet, so sometimes she likes to be nauseous in the morning and it does taste a bit bad."
"Do you often feel tired even if you only do small jobs?" Arletta's question made Arana nod in doubt. "It looks like it is, ma. It seems that Nana lacks exercise until Nana's body now becomes less strong to wear a lot of work. After that, Alva spoils Nana to the point of not allowing Nana to work."
Arletta looked at Arana before her manic slowly brightened. "Follow mama for a second, huh?"
Arana raised her eyebrows. "Where, ma?"
Arletta smiled and just helped Arana get ready. Afterwards, Arletta got into her car and took Arana somewhere. When Arana arrived, Arana frowned when she saw the large hospital building in front of her. "Nana's not sick, ma. No need to get to the hospital."
"Do you want to have a routine medical checkup?" Tanya Arana was curious.
Arletta only returned smiling and not answering, but she gently grabbed Arana's hand and pulled her into the hospital and stepped towards a department. When Arana saw the name attached above the entrance, Arana widened her manic.
Obstetrician and Pregnancy Specialist
"Ma?" Arana called out confusedly.
"Mom was pregnant, Na. Mama feels the traits you mentioned earlier are very similar to what you used to experience when you were pregnant with Alva." Arletta.
"Mama didn't mean anything. Just, let's do a checkup to find out if you're really pregnant or not."
Arana's brain processes what Arletta just said. He was taken into a room and met with a doctor who was an acquaintance of Arletta. Arana undergoes an examination with the brain that is still wandering and still thinking. When the doctor told Arana and Arletta, who were sitting across the table, Arana finally recovered.
"Congratulations, your daughter-in-law is positively pregnant, madam."
"Because this is still early, it is a little difficult to know the fetus because of its size which is only as big as a needle and still do division. But Miss Alana is really pregnant, and entering the 3rd week of pregnancy." Said Doctor.
Arletta shrieked happily aside and could not help but hug Arana who was still stunned. The girl slowly extended her hand and touched her still flat stomach before with a bead glistened by tears sheathed a smile of happiness until her maniac narrowed the crescent moon.
