A few months later.
Jojo's gestational age has now reached seven months, the woman has stopped completely from all her laborious work, including filming commercials and photo shoots. Although the agency regretted his decision because of early leave even though the day of labor was still far away, Jojo was not a problem.
For Jojo, her pregnancy was the greatest gift. He must take care of it wholeheartedly so that he and his future baby remain healthy until the day of birth.
Now Jojo does not need to bother taking care of the house, because he and the four male residents of this house have decided to raise Pak Teguh's wife as a household assistant.
The forty-eight-year-old middle-aged woman named Bu Yura had been working for several months in this house and gained the full trust of all the residents of the house.
Jojo not only gave a large salary to Bu Yura, but Jojo also hired Pak Teguh as a gardener in this house. Jojo did so so that the couple did not separate, and Mr. Teguh did not have to bother working hot on the road to find customers.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" ask Kai. He saw Jojo sitting alone in the garden beside his house while daydreaming.
"Find some fresh air" replied Jojo. "It's so hot today. Why isn't there a traveling ice salesman passing by in front of our house?" his weakness. Kai gulped, since when had their elite housing been visited by traveling merchants?
"Do you want anything?" ask Kai. He had just come home from college and felt tired, actually he wanted to rest, but did not have the heart to ignore his brother-in-law.
"Es fruit sounds so refreshing, do you want to buy it for me, Sister-in-law?" jojo asked with sparkling eyes.
"Ah, ice fruit. All right, it doesn't seem to be far from the highway there is a sell," said Kai agreed. As long as he is able, he will give whatever his brother-in-law wishes, like Kalingga's message every day.
"No, the iced fruit you always buy at High School tastes better. I want that one."
"Alright, alright. I will buy it there," Kai said with a long sigh. Lately Jojo is a little sensitive, because the more days he has difficulty doing many things because his stomach is getting bigger. Everyone is trying to understand the woman's feelings, and trying to do their best to keep her happy through her pregnancy.
After putting his bag into the room, Kai changed his clothes and went riding his motorcycle. When he came out of the residential area, he saw a fruit ice seller who was stopping on the sidewalk.
"Ah, just buy this one. Brother-in-law won't know, "inner Kai. He just needs to tell Jojo if this is ice fruit that he bought near his high school, then it won't be a problem. The distance from his old school is quite far.
After one serving of fruit ice was wrapped up, Kai returned home excitedly. Jojo will not be able to distinguish the taste of this ice because it is seen from the same content.
Kai puts his motorcycle back in the garage, but he is surprised to find a distended woman waiting in his yard.
"Ada?" ask Jojo.
"Hmm, here." Kai handed a pack of ice to Jojo. The woman was very happy and immediately went to the kitchen to taste it.
"I told him to take a day off. Mr. Teguh is not well," Jojo replied while busy pouring ice fruit into a bowl.
"Oh." Kai nodded in understanding, he walked out of the kitchen and was about to return to the room, but suddenly Jojo called back to him.
"It's not the ice fruit you used to buy. It feels different" complained Jojo with a sad face. He put away the bowl in front of him.
"Different what? It's the same, Brother-in-law!" exclaim Kai. He immediately tasted it and did not feel any difference, the sweet taste of the sauce and the variant of the contents are the same.
"Ah, you're lying," Jojo muttered with a lowered head.
"No, who's lying. This is the ice I bought near my old school, sister!"
Jojo fell silent, suddenly Kai heard the voice of the woman sobbing. The boy glared, is his brother-in-law crying?
"Sister-in-law, are you crying?" ask Kai. He approached Jojo and saw the face of his sister-in-law.
"You know I don't like being lied to, why lie?" ask Jojo. The clear circle of her tears fell profusely on her cheeks.
Seeing that, Kai gulped. Now that he was confused, how could he make his sister-in-law cry?
"That's it, Sister-in-law. Sorry I lied. Do you want ice in my old school? How many packs do you want? A three? A five? I'll buy it. Stop crying" Kai asked. He rubbed Jojo's back with a bad feeling.
"I want two" Jojo said in between tears.
"Two packs? Just two? Alright. Stop crying and I'll go buy it" said Kai. He was in a hurry and almost ran out of the house. As fast as lightning, he went riding his motorcycle.
Inside the house, Jojo wiped his tears. I don't know why he's been feeling so emotional lately. It is easy to cry suddenly just because of trivial things. Even just because Kalingga said goodbye to overtime until midnight, Jojo almost cried hysterically. She felt she could not be far from her husband.
Along the way, Kai continued to mutter. He felt sorry for lying to Jojo to make his sister-in-law cry.
The distance between his home and his old high school took almost twenty minutes, he rode his motorcycle quickly because he was worried that the ice seller had left his usual location.
Luckily, Kai was still able to get the last three packs. If it was just a little late, this ice fruit would have already sold out. And he couldn't imagine Jojo going to cry hysterically in front of him. If that happens, he'll be cut down by Kalingga.
