For Caramel to conceive a child is a miracle, imagining a living being in your body. Caramel could only feel the movements of her fetus while inside her stomach but now she could see a real miracle before her eyes. Caramel is grateful that God chose her to be a mother. All of Caramel's pain, fatigue, and agony evaporated away after seeing the face of her tiny baby. He did not believe in love at first sight but now he does. Caramel has been in love with her baby since first sight.
"Are you awake?" Rafka blinked her eyes watching Caramel wake up from her post-surgery sleep, "drink ya." He gave a glass of water to Caramel. "You must be thirsty."
"Can I have a drink?" Caramel hesitates to receive a glass from Rafka.
"Yes, the doctor said you can drink a little water after two hours of surgery." Rafka helps Caramel straighten his head for a drink.
"Thank you." Caramel finished sipping half a glass of water.
"Would you like to see our baby?" Rafka rubbed Caramel's head after returning the glass to the nightstand next to the bed.
Caramel nodded, she indeed wanted to see the baby's face once she woke up. Because Caramel's baby is below normal weight, doctors must place her in an incubator to keep her temperature warm.
"We should immediately give him a name." Caramel and Rafka had already prepared some names for her child but after the baby was born they became worried.
"May I give him the name Arnesh?"
"What does that mean?"
"Arnesh from the Sanskrit language means ruler of the sea because he has fought with you against the storm at sea."
"Agreed." Caramel nodded in agreement to the name.
"Arnesh Pradipta Aditama."
"Why wear Aditama?"
"Because it's our son, it's not fair to just use my last name."
Caramel smiled, she did not even intend to enter her name on the child. But because it was Rafka's decision, Caramel would approve it.
Rafka helps Caramel move into a wheelchair slowly. Caramel's post-surgery body is still vulnerable so Rafka must treat her gently.
"I've contacted Mama and Papa, once I heard her grandson was born they immediately wanted to follow here but since the plane ticket was up, maybe they could only come here after the turn of the year." During the Caramel break, Rafka contacted their family in Jakarta.
At first they were very worried about the state of Caramel after hearing news of the sinking ship. But Rafka managed to calm them down by telling Caramel the current condition. Rafka also said that their son was born safe and healthy.
"Our mama must be thinking, Ka." Caramel.
"I told them that you and our baby are all healthy so they don't worry too much."
"How's Jane and Doni?"
"Jane and Doni are on their way here after undergoing some checks regarding their condition after drowning, they're fine."
Caramel exhaled a sigh of relief at Rafka's explanation. Caramel remembers when Jane and Doni were confused looking for help for her sake. Caramel doesn't know how to thank them.
"We can only see from the outside, dear." Rafka turned the wheelchair towards the large windowpanes showing the babies sleeping inside. "Here comes Arnesh." Rafka points to one of the incubators right in front of them.
"Geez, he's sleeping." Caramel's eyes glazed over to see their baby in the incubator. Can't wait to pet the baby but Caramel has to be patient until Arnesh is allowed out of the incubator. "Bothful baby." His whisper with a trembling voice.
"She'll be healthy soon because she can't wait to see her Mama Papa." Rafka rubbed Caramel's back.
"Thank you for the beautiful name, Arnesh would be proud to have that name." Caramel turned to Rafka and developed her smile.
"Yes." Yeah." Rafka nodded with a smile to Caramel.
They looked at the tiny body of Arnesh who seemed to be fast asleep.
"How!"
Caramel and Rafka both turned to the end of the corridor, as Jane and Doni walked towards them. Even Jane was impatient and half ran over to Caramel.
"Geez, good thing you're after the Car." Jane hugged Caramel.
"Lu's fine, right?" Caramel looked at Jane from top to bottom.
"Your babies are healthy, right?" Jane was not satisfied to hug Caramel after a few hours apart.
"It hurts, slowly hugging it, I don't see you for a year."
"Eh sorry-sorry." Jane immediately took off her arms, forgetting that Caramel had just finished surgery. Because Jane also gave birth by caesarean section, she understood how Caramel is currently.
"That's my hero with Rafka." Caramel pointed at the baby.
"Geez, you finally have a kid too after so many years of singles." Jane is moved to see baby Caramel and Rafka. He also felt how Caramel struggles to get to this stage.
"Your happiness is perfect now." Doni.
"Thank you Jane and Doni for taking care of Caramel." Sahut Rafka's.
"Wear thank you all." Jane shook her hand.
They return to Caramel's nursery after seeing Arnesh's baby. Jane and Doni said they had found a hotel nearby so they could go back and forth to the hospital quickly if Caramel needed anything.
"Gue has to give up my suitcase and my stuff sinks the same boat." Tukas Caramel as he lay back on the nursing bed.
"Fortunately you told Lusi to bring a shooting costume, otherwise we have to prepare everything from the beginning." Jane Sahut.
"It's important you're safe." Timpal Rafka, he's unscrewing the plastic cover that coats Caramel's dinner from the hospital.
"Because it turns out our children were born sooner." Rafka smiled, as he could not believe that he was now a father.
Caramel Sleepwear shooting session will still be done tomorrow even without Caramel. Everything Caramel has entrusted to Jane, from the location to the model they will use.
They will stay a little longer than planned, as Arnesh will have to get special treatment at the hospital. In addition, babies must reach a certain age to be allowed to board a plane.
"I'm also a laper, Pa." Jane patted Doni's shoulder sitting next to her.
"You want what pesen?"
"Car, what's the famous food here, you know?"
"Sate Plecing Arjuna looks good, the rating is good on google." Caramel replied, he also did not know what food was crowded at this time. He only found it on the internet a few days before he got here.
"Closed." Doni shows Jane his cell phone telling her that the restaurant Caramel was talking about is closing.
"Ah I know." Jane moved from her seat to the table not far from the sofa she was sitting on. He took three cups of instant noodles from inside a plastic bag. "Gue same Doni stopped by the minimarket just now, buy some food the same drink, tonight eat this first yes."
"Can." Doni nodded.
"Would you like it, Ka?" Ask Jane to Rafka.
"Not to." Rafka shook her head, seeing the noodle wrap in Jane's hand alone made her not want to eat.
"Well, two days ago you were still eating instant noodles?" Caramel was astonished to see Rafka.
"That's it." Rafka put her shoulders together, "i just don't want to eat noodles."
"I've been with Doni to the cafeteria to cook noodles first." Jane and Doni are out of Caramel's room because there's no hot water in here to cook noodles.
"I ate it myself." Caramel.
"All right." Rafka upholds the overbed table and puts Caramel's dinner on it.
"Rafka." Call Caramel before he scoops the rice with chicken soup.
"Hm?" Rafka sat in a chair near the bed accompanying Caramel to a meal.
"That night I went straight away without giving you a chance to explain the situation to me, at that time I called you and who answered not you but Elsa, now I ask, now I ask, did you actually meet Elsa at What's Up Cafe?"
"Yes right, we didn't accidentally meet."
"Keep together?"
"It's not right to be called eating together, because actually I came first, when Elsa came I immediately finished the food quickly."
Caramel tried to chew her food calmly when deep down she felt angry and upset. Caramel does not know if discussing it at times like this is good for them or vice versa. Caramel just wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between them appropriately without letting it drag on. After all, Caramel is sure Rafka will not be out there let alone play with other women.
"After eating I go to the bathroom because I have to change clothes, you know the smell of instant noodles will make you nauseous and I don't want that to happen."
Caramel was touched, even Rafka noticed herself until something as detailed as that. Caramel regretted being so angry that night that she left home. Caramel has always done something she regrets.
"Maybe at that time you called me and Elsa defiantly answered, when you came out of the bathroom you were done talking, so I can't believe you called me."
"I'm sorry." Caramel said sincerely, he should have apologized earlier.
"No Caramel, I'm sorry I didn't trust you, when you left I saw the call history and it turns out you did call me."
Caramel nodded, "wherever trust and honesty are important to maintain our domestic relationships."
"I'll trust you more." Rafka rubbed Caramel's hair that was breaking a little messy.
"Well, discussing this matter again, I also want to be honest with you."
"What's that?" Rafka fixed his sitting position.
"I told you Rama knew the password to enter our apartment, and you said it didn't make sense, did you?"
"Yes." Yeah." Rafka nodded, it did not make sense even though he thought about it again now it still did not make sense.
"So when you guys made my surprise birthday plan, Jane asked me to bring her luggage which was a lot of plastic bags, fitting until the corridor there was Rama, so he immediately snatched away the stuff that I brought, he said he could not bear to see pregnant women bring a lot of stuff, he brought Jane's stuff up into the apartment, he said, maybe he was wondering that when I tugged the password into the apartment, because the password was my birth date so he memorized it immediately."
Rafka was silent, he seemed to be thinking deeply. That means Rama had planned this crime a long time ago. If Rafka tells it to the police, Rama will get a heavier sentence because everything is planned. Moreover, Rama to involve Anna and Joni to work with him.
"I'm sorry for not being honest with you from the beginning, because I think Rama really just wanted to help me."
"I understand." Rafka smiled faintly looking at Caramel in the shade, he went to give a hug to his wife.
"I'm lucky to have you Rafka."
"Eh-eh, what are you guys, geez!" Jane goes in and sees Rafka and Caramel embrace. "Aware the stitches have not been dry, already want to make more grandpa."
"What the hell is a hug doang." Caramel sewot pursed her mouth.
"Rafka, vacation is one month." Jane glanced at Rafka, putting a cup of noodles on the table as well as Doni.
"I know." Rafka answered with a flat face, it was the toughest thing that although he had prepared since far away but it felt he could not accept it.
