Two months passed.
"Good day Doc!"
As usual, Ayumi greeted a female doctor who was now sitting at her desk, staring at a preliminary examination results that Ayumi did, while allowing Ayumi as well as Randy to immediately sit down.
"Hello, how are you?" The doctor reached out, which Ayumi and Randy immediately grabbed until they shook each other.
"As the Doctor saw. My wife and I are good, what about the Doctor himself?" Randy asked back.
The two of them sat in the available seats, with Randy's smile unceasingly visible, describing himself as being very happy today.
"I'm good too." Answer Doctor.
Ayumi nodded, she laid her back on the back of the chair, when her waist felt a little sore.
"Hows it? What are the current complaints besides back pain?"
"No more Doc, that's all and often sleepy me, besides always feeling hungry of course." Ayumi chuckles.
The doctor nodded his head.
"Mother's body weight is good, blood tension is also good. So then let's check on the baby, how he is now, .. hopefully we can give him what Mommy and Daddy want well! He's been through two checks, but he's still shy and doesn't want to show who he is." The doctor laughed quite loudly.
The same thing Randy did when the doctor made a joke.
Ayumi immediately got up, assisted by Randy who pulled his hand very carefully, then accompanied the wife until she lay on the bed available. An assistant doctor immediately covered the lower part of Ayumi's body with a blanket, after revealing the oversize shirt that Ayumi was wearing, so that it appeared that the stomach already looked big.
Randy smiled at that. It always felt anxious with the distended stomach of a tiny woman he loved so much.
"He's so adorable!" Randy murmuring.
The doctor began to put the gel on the surface of Ayumi's abdominal skin, then directed the ultrasound device and moved it up there, moving it, until a head-shaped image begins to be clearly visible inside a screen that is quite large.
The atmosphere was quiet enough for a while, all eyes were fixed on seeing the image that continued to move, as if looking for a very fitting position.
"His age is 24 weeks, the weight of the fetus is about 600 grams. And he seems very healthy." Obviously the Doctor while continuing to stare at the monitor screen.
Even with Randy and Ayumi who did not take her eyes off the slightest.
"We look at her gender, ..hopefully she's good and not shy until she covers her sensitive area." The doctor's laughter was heard.
He felt funny himself, when several times he tried to check the sex of the baby, the fetus always positioned himself as if he was covering a sensitive area because of embarrassment.
The USG tool keeps moving. Up, side, and ends at the lower abdomen of Ayumi.
"Hemmm, .. It seems that now he is not shy anymore!"
The doctor looked at Ayumi and Randy alternately, while sharing a meaningful smile.
"Oh yeah? So what's the gender?" Ayumi with enthusiasm.
"No Doc! Don't say it now." Sergey Randy.
"Really?"
"Yes, please put it on a piece of paper. Then put it in an envelope, .. I intend to have a baby shower, and maybe it's the right time for a surprise for us and our extended family." Obviously Randy.
But Ayumi's facial expression immediately changed. He had waited a short time, then after the results came out, Randy held it for an event that might be held a few months later.
"Darling it's been too long!" Ayumi's great-grandson.
"Just one more month, Ay! Let this be our surprise."
The woman snorted in annoyance.
"So, ... how? Do I have to tell you now? Or …"
"Later on." Randy said with confidence.
"Seriously? I was afraid something unwanted would happen after this. Especially to you, Mr. Randy!"
"Just do Doc!" Randy replies while smiling.
While the look on Ayumi's face immediately scowled. Puckered lips with an unfriendly face.
But of course Randy does not want to take a headache about it.
"All right then. I'll put her gender caption in her USG photo."
After that the doctor pulled a few sheets of tissue, and rubbed Ayumi's stomach from the remnants of the gel that was still on the surface of the stomach skin of the pregnant woman. Then Randy petrified Ayumi up, and walked after the Doctor who had walked to his desk first.
Ayumi glared as Randy looked at her.
"To be fair, Ay! Everyone gets a surprise, including me and you." Rabsy whispers.
"But that's my son too! I deserve to know!"
"And I don't know yet, it's a surprise for us. Later the clue can be from the color of the cake, or the balloon broken continues to appear the color, just choose Brother sure you like."
"Just be a selebgram!" Pekik Ayumi's.
"I love it when I see some Vidio baby showers, so what's wrong with us making those pickles."
Randy led his wife to sit back in the chair directly opposite the female doctor.
"Because Mommy and her baby are healthy. I don't need to add any other drugs well, just vitamins as usual. But do not forget the milk should also remain in the drink, and eat healthy foods that contain folic acid, .. because it is very good for the growth and development of the fetus." Obviously the doctor he gave me a piece of paper inscribed with a prescription as usual.
Randy immediately accepted. Then say goodbye, and come out of the room with a very wonderful sense of happiness.
The two came out together, with Randy carrying a recipe paper and envelope containing the results of Usg and examination today. Where a big secret is stored in there.

"What does the theme want?" A service provider owner asked.
Ayumi who had seen bete was now very enthusiastic, when some examples of party decorations were shown. The woman continued to smile, her face sparkling when she saw some decorations that she thought were adorable.
"Mr. I want a simple, the decorations are quite pastel colors that are suitable for female and male gender." Ayumi Pinta.
She immediately turned her head, looked at her husband then smiled sweetly as usual.
"good. For the surprise of you, would you like to use a balloon or a cake?"
Ayumi did not reply, she instead continued to stare at her husband, handing over an answer to the man who was currently sitting next to her.
"What do you usually use?"
"As you wish, sir. There are cakes that are made as a medium of surprise, there are also balloons." The woman explained, with a very friendly word.
"What difference? And how does it work?" Ask Randy again.
"If cake. Usually we love the clue of sponge color in it. And if the balloon is usually there's a powder of color that appears after the balloon is broken."
Randy turned to Ayumi.
"So, ... Where do you want my dear?" Randy asked, confused.
"Emmmm, .. What recomendation is Ma'am?" Ayumi looked at the woman before her.
"For the atmosphere to be lively and more exciting, I recommend a balloon. But if you're afraid of a balloon explosion then I suggest cake alone."
"Well I want a balloon." Ayumi replied, now she looks very sure.
"good. Can you tell when the date of the show is? Let me see from now on so as not to clash with other events, or avoid the same dates as others."
"The middle is not just the front. Hows it? Can you?" Ask Randy.
"Well, I'm asking for a number to call." He's sliding a book in front of Randy.
And without asking much, Randy immediately put his phone number.
After deliberating, discussing many things also negotiated. Randy and Ayumi decide to step down and go home.

"So next month's show?" Maria asked Ayumi as well as Randy who had just returned after a routine checkup.
Ali, Maria and Tutih laughed.
"Then what about your mother? Has he been told?" He asked why Ayumi.
The woman immediately stared at the clock attached to the wall of the middle room.
"There's nine o'clock in the morning. Is Mama awake? Yesterday I did not pick up the phone, .. when Mama called back she said there was a blizzard, from Mama fell asleep continued." Ayumi.
"Emmm, .. because the show is still next month, Father and Mother seem to say goodbye to go home first, pity Amar if it is too long alone." Pamit Tutih with a little doubt.
Ayumi looked at her parents in turn. Then it turned to Mary when the woman showed the same signs.
"I suspect you're going along too!" Ayumi squinted her eyes.
Maria smile.
"Two months we keep going back and forth. A week here, then a week at home there, and it's been a week we've been here, .. And maybe I won't be back next week, later if the thanksgiving is close, then it's close, so don't go back and forth!" Obviously Maria.
"But do not know the same Mr. Ali and Miss Tutih, maybe they still want to go home as usual." Maria continued, smiling awkwardly.
"Maybe we're the same. Come after approaching the date of the event only." Ali answered.
Ayumi immediately threw her back on the back of the chair. He always felt lost spirit when his parents say goodbye to go home.
"Don't do it, Ay!" Randy rubbed his wife's forehead.
"Later home again. All day I must have slept and kept watching tivi." Ayumi's great-grandson.
"And it will be crowded, with the sound of cries and screams of the baby. Morning, afternoon, evening and night! Trust me after that the atmosphere will be very crowded."
Ayumi sighed.
"So you want to go home today?"
"Yes, ... not do not want to linger here, but there are some things that you can not stay for long." Maria said.
"alright. Then let Brother take you guys, don't take a taxi to get there faster, so it's not too late."
"Just the same. Using a taxi is not as bad as using a bus, we have to stop at several stops from here to arrive at the bus stop to the coastal village." Tutih Sahut.
"Yes already. Let me drive you to the bus stop as usual." Randy got up from his seat.
Followed by Tutih, Ali and Maria afterwards. While Ayumi continued to sit on the sofa there, with eyes that began to feel tired to cause drowsiness.
Ten minutes to get ready. Finally they say goodbye to Ayumi, who leads up to the front porch of the house. The woman with a protruding stomach sat on a wooden chair, staring at her parents who started riding in the car one by one.
"Ay, fine at home. Don't forget to take vitami, medicine and milk." Tutih.
"Yes." Yeah." Ayumi waved her hand.
"If there's anything, or if you want to make something, say yes! As usual, I'll send it." Maria waved her hand.
Ayumi nodded. He stared at the car that was slowly starting to retreat, leaving his residence at a moderate speed.
The atmosphere began to feel. There is no talk of parents who always accompany his days.
Ayumi decided to enter her house. Close the main door tightly, then walk to the room.
"It's not so quiet!" Ayumi monologue.
He sits on the edge of the bed, grabs the phone still in the bag, and pulls it out to contact Sumi immediately.
Tuuuttt!!
The voice was heard when Ayumi started making phone calls. A profile photo can be seen clearly, where Sumi and Vlater are in the same frame, with the background of trees filled with pure white snow.
Ayumi smiled. Happy Sumi of course became happy for herself as well.
"Hello, honey?" Someone hit.
Makes Ayumi immediately aware of her daydream.
"Papa? Where's mama?" Ayumi asked when she heard the voice over there was very different, but she knew very well if the one who received her call was her father, Valter Albert Baldomero.
"You're in the shower, maybe it'll be over soon."
Kening Ayumi wrinkled.
"Mandi? Isn't that winter? Does your mom still need a shower?"
"Mmmm, .. u-to soak warm waterng, .. yes to soak there, in addition to keep clean." Valter said a little stammered.
Ayumi nodded, she continued to listen to the voice of someone across there. Until finally Sumi's voice sounded faint, the two were like they were engaged in a conversation in German, which of course Ayumi did not understand.
"Go get dressed, give me the phone." Sumi's voice sounded faint.
Ayumi is still faithfully waiting, she continues to quietly listen to a little debate between her father and mother.
"Yes, Ay? Sorry Mama just finished her shower. What's up?"
Ayumi smiled, suddenly her mischievous idea appeared.
"Mama what is it? How about a shower in the morning? Where's the snow storm again?" Ayumi asked while holding her smile.
"Oh that, .. Mama has not bathed for three days, so Mama's body is a little uncomfortable, even though the temperature here is very cold."
"really?"
"Seriously. You don't think shit! Your mind is so naughty."
Ayumi laughed when she heard her mother's words, she tried normally, but Ayumi knew full well Sumi was nervous and held in shame.
"Said Papa Mama soaking in warm water."
"Yes that's one of them, .. have not teased Mam continue, say what is it?"
"Front month I want a baby shower. I want Mama and Papa home." Ayumi was begging a little.
Things become quiet. Then there was Sumi's voice whispering with Valter there. Makes Ayumi feel a little hesitant, for what she had expected, when she thought Sumi would do anything for her.
"Next month, Ay?" Sumi asked back.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Mama and Papa look at me first. You see your Papa is doing a cafe renovation, .. there are some things that must be kept in mind, so we can not promise." Sumi.
Ayumi silence.
That's actually what happened. There are many problems that will hinder someone, whether it is work or other things.
"Take care of it, yes! But if you can't, I'm sorry from now on."
Ayumi closed her eyes, then lowered her head, trying to suppress a sense of disappointment that suddenly appeared. His expectations were too high, even with the expectations he had imagined, to the point that a sense that should not exist now began to fill himself.
"alright. Then I close. Ayumi wants to sleep, she's very cape, just as sleepy." That voice sounded soft.
And Sumi regretted it.
"Sorry." Said Sumi.
"It's okay. It's different, isn't it? So it's okay, otherwise Mama and Papa can't push themselves."
"Cafe Papamu is very crowded. It requires renovation to expand the space. Because it's snowy now, .. sometimes things get hampered, and can't be rushed."
"I understand."
"I'm sorry Papa and Mama, okay?"
Ayumi closed her lips, she nodded as if Sumi could see her from the fray.
"Yes, I'm closed. Hye!" Ayumi.
Sumi did not have time to answer, but Ayumi immediately hung up the phone.
