Anita relaxes Veron's embrace. Staring expectantly, the remnants of tears on Anita's face made Veron full of excitement.
"Would you, Lie?"
Veron stared intensely at Anita's face and turned to her still flat stomach. What he should say. His son needs a father. But Dave is such a man. What is it worth to Anita.
"Dave's not a nice guy" Veron said.
"If he's good there's no way he's tarnishing me. I know it. I need a father for this boy. So that he has an identity. I beg Lie."
"You don't know Dave, Nit."
"Then?" said loud Anita. "Shall I have this child? Say?!"
Veron swallowed his saliva with difficulty his eyes fixed on Anita whose breath was hunting with anger.
"Let your son be with me. Let me and Zello be his parents. That's if you don't mind" Veron finally said.
"But obviously I don't want you to be with Dave. There are still a lot of good men out there."
Anita stared intensely at Veron, looking at the earnestness of the face and the words that came out of her friend's lips.
Veron grabs Anita's hand, grasps it. "Hows it? That's the only solution I have for now. I-I don't think you love Dave either, do you? I'm right, aren't I?!"
Anita was silent, her eyes were not careless to escape from Veron's face.
"If you love Dave. Does Dave love you too? I just don't want you to be tormented when you're with her later if that's just a clap."
What Veron said was right. Anita has no taste for Dave who just hates. Dave is so with him. They are even strangers. And Dave could not accept the presence of the child he contained. Anita thought in silence. His gaze looked down at his still flat stomach. For now he can still cover it up, but later? What would he explain to everyone around him if his belly grew without marriage? Already prepared him with all the shake he will receive, which is likely to have an impact also with his efforts.
"Lilie, for now I'm still with my stance. I want Dave to take responsibility."
"Nita- "
"Please Lie!"
Somehow Veron had to persuade and give understanding to Anita. Veron was silent with a troubled face.
"Don't you know what I mean Lie? My stomach is going to grow. Can you make me a wobble material. I have to marry Lie. I have to marry Dave."
Veron threw away his gaze, he was confused. But Anita's words have a point.
"I don't care about Dave. The important thing is that he wants to give me an identity for my son."
Veron nodded, now he had no choice but to agree. Later if there is another way he might send back with Anita.
"I'll go home first. I'll call you later."
"Thank you Lie." Anita grabs Veron's body, hugging him happily.
"All right, I'll go home first." Veron takes off a hug, which can then be a nod from Anita.
After she finished talking to Anita, Veron headed straight for the car and got into it. Braaks.
"Have you?!" ask Zello.
"He em." Veron leaned against his body. Closing his eyes, his brain was tired.
Zello who looked tired on Veron's face gave a soft shroud in his straight hair and also tidied up the strands that almost closed his eyes.
Veron's eyes open, staring at the face of her husband who is the criteria of most women's dreams, not only looks but also personality. If Dave had a Zello-like nature, he would be happy to help Anita.
"You look tired, honey."
"Maybe the pregnancy hormone, Mum."
"Therefore do not think too much, it will affect your health as well. Not just you, but our son." Zello gave a small nod of security that opened the gate for him.
"If there's anything you need to tell me, I'm ready to put it up."
Veron's forehead is wrinkled. "really? You want to accommodate or are curious."
"Both." Zello cleared a little thump with a tinge of red on his face.
Zello's car started coming out of the housing complex. His eyes looked at Veron's face as if he was still hesitant to tell a story with him.
Veron turned to Zello, looking at his face from the side. "Mas, do you think Dave can change?"
"meaning?" Zello's nose is deflated because he doesn't like what his wife is talking about.
"Anita's pregnant."
"What's? When did he get married?"
"Not because of marriage, but because of Dave."
"meaning?" The curious soul of Zello's rise is not inferior to the soul of mak-mak alley house.
"Anita did not explain in detail. But I think Dave has done something indecent by force to Anita."
"Then, how's Anita?"
"He asked me to persuade Dave to take responsibility. How do you think?"
"Anita wants Dave, Dave wants you. I think I'll support Anita. I hate Dave who keeps chasing you."
"Mas, I seriouslyss."
"I'm serious too."
"Yes could be. But that was Dave. Now that I'm fat, my stomach is already swelling amazingly. Maybe Dave doesn't want me anymore. Don't you? Ahh, I shouldn't be too afraid of Dave right now. Why am I thinking now."
"What an effect, I'm just now so passionate about you getting fat."
"Mas." Pekik Veron upset. "I'm talking seriously."
Zello closed his eyes for a moment. "I'm serious too." Zello's lips smiled knot.
"Whatever."
"Especially if you're craving that."
"So told the story. But the response is rich." Veron throbs pissed.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Zello scrunched the base of his nose. He speaks as is.
"If Anita had insisted on how again. But if you really want to meet Dave to discuss Anita take me!"
Veron looked at Zello seriously. "So, you actually agree with Anita's will?!"
"Anita is doing it."
"But Dave's not a good guy."
"Who knows later when married so grow love. Love comes because we are used to being together."
"Mulshit. Dave is with women every day. But never fall with them one."
"There was. That's you."
****
Zello's car that had stopped in front of Hanif's door immediately got out of the car. He ran to his wife's door. "Darling, you sure don't want to come down."
"Not now. I'm not ready yet. I'm ashamed."
"You're sure you won't be feeling comfortable. Night cannot sleep."
Veron. "Give me a chance for a week, Mom!"
"Hm, okay." Zello pinched Veron's chin and enjoyed his wife's soft lips. Enjoy the lips with the contents until the breath goes up and down. At first Zello just wanted to kiss at a glance, but his passion instead immediately rose after their lips stuck.
"No shame" Veron said after Zello's action. Already shameless but less sane as well. Zello chuckled as he passed without replying to his wife.
They arrived at the Hanif residence when it was late, before eating. Zello believes that Hanif is watching television as usual in the living room. Moreover there was the sound of television and faint chatter from that space.
Zello who was new until the living room looked at someone uncomfortable, his steps came to a halt with his breath hunting in annoyance.
Why is Dave home?
