Salsa walked down the stairs after she performed the prayer with Dirga. The woman wore her nightgown with a pink batman image and a gray headscarf. He heard the sound of his house bell ringing.
"Who, son?" Mother Salsa asked. He sat in one of the chairs in the living room.
"Salsa doesn't know mom yet. Who's been visiting last night" he said as he walked into his living room.
Salsa opened the door and was surprised to see someone in front of her. A woman with an enlarged stomach due to pregnancy. The woman was crying too. And most of all Salsa was surprised, the woman was no longer wearing her headscarf.
"Th-this is about Ara, right?" salsa said with a slight tremble. He hugged the woman tightly. Unknowingly, Salsa shed her tears. After that, Salsa immediately brought in Ara to sit in the living room.
Salsa rubbed her tears that had come down, "sorry Salsa crybaby, hehe," she said as she sat next to Ara who was also crying. Salsa's little heart wanted to cry because it saw Ara's condition that didn't seem good.
"Where are you going, anyway?" salsa said as she hugged Ara again.
He's back Salsa.
Actually, Salsa was curious about the state of Ara. Who is the father of the child in the birth, Ara? And is Ara married? Certainly already, seen from Ara's pregnancy. However, why? Doesn't Ara just love Dirga, only?
"Mak Ara is married?" salsa asked carefully.
But Ara's headband made Salsa surprised and confused. What do you mean, Ara?
"Bak is not married yet" explained Ara who made Salsa more surprised. Unknowingly, the woman covered her mouth with her own hands. I can't believe what he's hearing right now.
"T-continue mbak?"
Ara immediately hugged Salsa again tightly. This time, Ara came back crying again in Salsa's arms. Salsa tried to give Ara strength. The woman stroked Ara's back gently. Until the tail of his eyes saw a person emerging from the middle space. It turns out that Dirga still uses her sarong and coffee. It seems, the man finished teaching earlier after praying Isya' with him.
While patting Ara's back gently, he gave the code to Dirga if the one in this hug was Ara, Dirga's former fiancee. Dirga was surprised for a few seconds. Then, he nodded and went inside again.
However, Dirga actually does not believe if the one in Salsa's embrace is Ara, her former fiance who is not clear.
Ara let go of her hug on Salsa, "Mbak wants you to help mbak,"
Salsa nodded, "makes need, what? God willing, Salsa helps as much as Salsa can" Salsa said sincerely.
"Mast can stay here? Later if you can already be hired, you can move to a contract," said Ara who made Salsa was worried. He nodded his head without Dirga's permission first.
Then, Salsa escorted Ara to one of the empty guest rooms. Slowly, the woman helped Ara to sleep on the bed.
"Bak if you can know, the age of the contents of Mbak Ara has been how many months?" ask him carefully. Actually, Salsa wanted to ask why Ara could get pregnant out of wedlock. She no longer wears her hijab.
"Eight months, Sal," he said as he positioned his body to fall on a king-size bed.
"Yes, although Mbak Ara has found a contract in the near future, mbak still here until the maternity process has finished," he said sincerely.
"If so, Salsa wants to go back to the room first. Daddy is not staying? Salsa's having surgery tomorrow,"
"It's not papa,"
Salsa stopped and closed the door to Ara's room slowly. Actually, the woman was feeling uneasy. I don't know what made him feel so bad that he unwittingly squeezed his own sleeping pants hard. While walking, Salsa approached her mother who was still sitting in the middle room while watching television. Salsa sat down next to her mother and sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"Bak Ara," he said half-and-half.
"Mbak Ara Bunda," he said again, which made his mother even more confused by what Salsa meant.
"Mbak Ara is back, mother" he explained that made the mother surprised instead of playing. There was a sweet smile engraved on the beautiful face of the middle-aged woman.
"Now he is, where?"
Salsa sighed, "roomed,"
The mother was about to rise from her seat which was then prevented by Salsa. Mother Salsa was able to stand slowly because of her foot therapy that produced good results "why?"
"Tomorrow, mother" said Salsa softly.
"Mother miss with Ara. Surely he also misses Mother," he said with enthusiasm. Salsa was confused to say what to her mother if Ara was already pregnant out of wedlock. Salsa was actually also surprised instead of playing because the news came out of Ara's own mouth. Salsa also does not believe that Ara is pregnant out of wedlock. Because at will, Ara is a good person so Ara becomes his role model. But, now?
It is true that God is all about turning people's feelings upside down.
"Mother, tomorrow," said Salsa once more. Suddenly, the girl felt nauseous. Spontaneous Salsa ran to the sink available in the middle room. The mother also automatically approached Salsa to massage the nape of Salsa.
"You in, wind?"
Salsa nodded, "lately Salsa is often nauseous and dizzy. I think it's a deh bun. There are a lot of jobs in the hospital,"
"Why, bun?" suddenly Dirga came.
"Nausea again? Maybe pregnant like a bun," said Dirga suddenly. The man said it without any burden. Even Dirga while eating peanuts that are fried while sitting casually on the sofa in the middle room.
Dirga's words were able to make Salsa widen her eyes and then stare at Dirga sharply. The woman narrowed her eyes because Dirga looked like a joke.
"Cock you glare, me?" he said casually.
Salsa observes Dirga.
"What's up, Sal? If nyidam told me. I'm ready to be a husband on standby for you" he said, standing quickly as his hand honoured Salsa following an instruction from the commander-in-chief.
It made Salsa smile. The man's behavior is getting more and more dilapidated in front of Salsa. Maybe he used to not know Dirga so well that he considered Dirga is a calm but authoritarian guy.
The mother laughed at her daughter-in-law and Salsa. Like he was when he was young. He even missed the figure of a man who a few months ago had left him alone on earth. However, he believed that true love would be anchored in the right harbor.
Dirga approached Salsa who was still smiling at him, for some reason Salsa's heart became comfortable because of Dirga.
"Thank you, yes" said Dirga suddenly which made Salsa smile sweetly.
"Because it has loved me for that long,” he said who immediately kissed Salsa's forehead. The mother who saw it was immediately ashamed of herself because it was like seeing her youth.
Behind the wall, however, there was someone who was sick seeing that.
