Ninth Month
Longs
🌺🌺🌺
"There is no withdrawal of balance at all Mr. Rayan," said a voice across the phone.
Rayan mangosteen listening.
This time change Rayan call another number.
"I'm at home every day, but no one's here yet" this time a woman's voice was across the phone.
"Where's Intan?" rayan was upset. His longing was really puffed up. Rayan was eager to meet the girl. His longing made him crazy.
Intan never used the ATM card he gave, nor lived at the address he gave. Then where's the girl? Rayan was busy with her own thoughts until she did not see Johan, her assistant, standing in front of her.
"Is your master not feeling well? should I postpone today's schedule?" johan asked when she saw Rayan was worried.
"I'm fine! continue the schedule as usual, do not cancel anything today. Oia, one more, please find out about the person in this photo" Rayan asked as she handed Johan a piece of the photo, "Please find out where she is, her activities and anything about her. Use the best detective and make sure the secret is safe."
Johan received the photo while nodding his disdainfully. For Johan, Rayan is not just the boss for him. Rayan was like a senior and his role model. Rayan also gave him a scholarship until he was able to raise his family who were once only scavengers. Seeing his boss was so agitated because of a problem made him worry too. He will try his best to find the girl in the photo.

Intan was contemplating imagining something fresh while holding onto her stomach. Intan was very eager to eat ice cream and he knew there was no ice cream supply in the parlour. Usually, children get an ice cream ration once a week. Even if there is an ice cream, it is not the ice cream of his desire.
The weather this afternoon is drizzling, if not drizzling Intan would have been walking for the sake of the ice cream. There is a convenience store in the village that has some ice cream stock. The way not to get rained on is to wear an umbrella or raincoat, it's just that the weather is cold. There is a car definitely not okay, will not be cold. Let me borrow Mr. Alan's car, Intan thought.
Intan knocked on Alan's room door many times, but there was no telling. Could Alan be outside the parlor? But the sedan was parked in the yard. Surely Alan is still in another part of the parlour. Intan took the initiative to the multipurpose building because the lights are still on. It's possible that Alan was there, Inner Intan.
The sound of a basketball echoed in the room. Alan was playing basketball alone, there wasn't much Alan did in the countryside like this. Playing basketball can waste his energy while killing his time, after all, basketball is one of his favorite sports. Alan repeatedly shot and if lucky some of his slam dunk success, there is a cool feeling when he can do it.
Turns out Intan saw when Alan did it. How cool Alan was when he played basketball. Intan until gawking. He saw Alan's athletic body jump while putting the ball into the ring, looking beautiful with a perfect landing. Intan unconsciously caress his stomach, Intan wants his son to look like Alan, handsome and healthy. Sangking enthusiastic, Intan to applaud. Intan forgot for a moment that he was here to borrow a car.
Alan was a little surprised that someone was clapping for him. He did not expect any spectators to watch his training. When he saw Intan clapping, Alan's smile expanded. The game must be really cool, the mind proud.
"Well, I have a fan as it turns out," Alan said as he finished his game and approached Intan. Alan's face was full of sweat, with Alan rubbing his face with his shirt, which made most of his stomach exposed, showing his abdominal muscles clearly, his abs look hard and solid.
Intan to swallow saliva, only this time he saw the sixpack directly. Rayan is not a type of bodybuilding, Rayan's body may have a sixpack but not as beautiful as Alan's. Intan reached up to gawk and hurriedly turned her gaze in embarrassment. She cleared her throat loudly asking that she focus on her goal not on Alan's beautiful body, after all she's here for her pregnancy not to build a romance with another man.
Alan sat on the floor drinking, despite the cold weather, if sweating like this it feels like Alan can drink directly 1 bottle. While Intan was sitting on the bench looking at him patiently.
"Can I help you, Miss Intan?"
"Call Intan only. Yeah, I'm asking you something. Can I borrow a car?"
"Car? what's for?"
"I'm going to buy something."
"Can't it be tomorrow? Tomorrow I'm gonna have to go to town" Alan bargained.
"I need it now. If it doesn't rain, I can walk" Intan said a little annoyed because Alan seemed to refuse to lend his car.
"Rain like this pregnant women need something that can not be bargained. Hm
... Seems like another craving," guess Alan
Intan nodded blushingly, Intan really wanted eskrim very much.
"But I can't lend you my car, I'm sorry."
"The reason is, my car has been modified, so it is a little different from the usual car, moreover the road is slippery because of the rain, also many climbs up and down and turns, and, and even more dangerous dark conditions because the weather is already night. All those unfortunate things could be dangerous for you" Alan explained at length.
A reasonable reason for not borrowing a car, but Intan could not shake the ice cream shadow from his mind. That makes him sad.
Alan smiled to see the disappointed Intan, it turns out the bumil disappointment that cravings can not be covered. How cute Intan's face between manyun and disappointed, Intan looks adorable. Actually, Alan didn't really refuse to help. It was just that he wanted to tease Intan first.
"There are two possibilities I can offer, first I buy. Second, I delivered," said Alan at last.
"I'll choose number two. Let me choose the ice cream myself," replied Intan enthusiastically, his gloomy face instantly disappeared without a trace.
"Scream!" Alan was surprised not to be trapped. It turns out that ice cream cravings. Olala...! "Skrim in this cold weather. Cravings are beyond reason, yes!" joked Alan while standing up.
"Okay, let me get ready. I can't go out with a body full of sweat, so please ask permission first to Miss Ela so as not to cause misunderstandings. Later, meet me in 20 minutes on the front page."
Intan mangosteen while stroking his stomach. Eventually, there will be an escrim.

Now Alan and Intan are at the nearest mall. Intan wearing a white suit looks glowing with her bulging belly, twin pregnancy makes her belly bigger than her actual gestational age. Meanwhile, Alan looks cool with casual makeup. His shirt and jacket could not hide his athletic body, to the point that even though Intan with a distended stomach walked beside him, the women who passed by them still stole a glance at Alan.
"I think walking next to me lowers your chances of getting a stroke" Intan joked.
"Ah, nice dong! at the very least, no one dared to ask for a phone number. I think we should be more friendly let the girls on the run all, " said Alan while putting Intan's hand around his arm.
"What the hell, I'm as a disguise turns out, yeah!" intan said embarrassed, but Intan did not pull his hand, as a result they look like a young couple who are waiting for the baby.
"Luckily I'm not your partner, I can be jealous of all the girls looking at you."
"Hahahaha.. Am I really that cool?" ask Alan. Alan knew he wasn't bad, but when Intan said he deserved to be cheated on, it made him smile.
They then headed to the ice cream shop. Intan immediately enthusiastically chose the ice cream he liked. He ordered various flavors with extra sizes. Alan only shook his head when offered, Alan would rather see Intan eat.
Alan looked at Intan devouring the ice cream happily, his eyes looking sparkling. Alan who sat in front of him until powerless to take photos of Intan because Intan looks adorable. Alan even did a wefie, Intan just smiled at Alan's behavior.
"Alright, we're going to do an interview with pregnant twins here" Alan said, turning on the record feature. He wanted to capture the moment Intan ate ice cream.
"Why do you want to eat ice cream? Is it true if the cravings are not obeyed will make the child later snack?"
"Hmmm what, yeah! myth maybe, yes! Who drools his mother, really!" intan replied with a laugh.
"Geez, all right, next question. Can you eat it slowly? look at the ice cream on your face," Alan pulled out a handkerchief and wiped off Intan's thin lips. Intan was only fixated on seeing it, when he realized Intan immediately asked for his handkerchief.
"Let me. Thanks for the attention," said Intan with a sweet smile.Honestly his heart beat fast almost he forgot himself.
Alan was also wrong. Intan's sweet smile made her heart melt, even though she knew the girl in front of her was pregnant with someone else's child. But there's no harm, right. After all, they're officially divorced, Alan's inner self-comfort.

Photo Intan is eating ice cream scattered in front of Rayan. He saw the girl look fat and happy with an athletic macho guy makes Rayan burn jealous and heartbroken simultaneously. What right does it have to feel jealous and angry if the girl has moved on and got a man who looks to love Intan more than him? The man who even from his picture alone looks more responsible than him.
Rayan sighed, her chest felt tight. Tidying up the scattered photos, his mind was filled with disappointment. Rayan rushed home to vent her emotions, punching a samsak might be good at wasting excess energy on her mind.
Rayan sweated sweat from punching the samsak hard. Although wearing gloves, it did not reduce the pain in his hands, now his hands must have been flushed. His hand may hurt but even more hurt when he remembered Intan, Intan's loose smile in the photo left him speechless. Really, throwing someone like Diamond away is a real loss to him, like throwing away a hard-earned diamond.
The girl had now gone to carry her heart, carrying half of her soul. Rayan could not help but cry. What sin he had committed that he should bear this longing. Losing Intan turned out to be this sick. If he knows this sick, he better never know Intan, he better never know what love is. Now Rayan has become entangled by a love she never even realized in the first place.
