Not a Substitute

M6 Increases Round

 “I want. I want to have a cute kid like you, Ev.” James kisses Eva. 

“I also want to have a child as handsome as you, James.” Eva kisses James.

That night the caravan swayed once more. Make the security guard night away from the caravan so as not to disturb the newlyweds.

Her morning.

James looks bright. The crew was already whispering and gossiping about the swaying caravan.

“You have the video?” ask one of the crew to the other crew.

“Have. You want to see?” The crew showed a video of odong-odong. The other crew felt played. 

James started filming again. He accidentally does not wake Eva up because he wants Eva to rest longer. Ev, thank you for opening my heart to me.

A few months later, the happy news came. Eva's pregnant. 

“Halo Orion.” James greeted their baby. He touched Eva's stomach. “Do not overachieve. Let me be tired. Remember that! There's already Orion in your stomach.”

“Yes, Papa Orion's undercook. Quick work there. Let dapet taken a lot,” said Eva.

“Mama Orion turned out matre. Papa just found out now.”

“Orion, Papa teased Mama.” Eva complains to Orion. “Mama will need a lot of money for Orion.”

“Orion, pray Papa to get many jobs. Papa go first. Take good care of Mama at home.” James kisses Eva and then kisses Eva's stomach and goes to the set.

A few months passed.

Bad news to show up. Eva had complications in her pregnancy. They had to choose Orion or Eva.

“Eva. Save Eva.” James had no hesitation in his answer. He can't let Eva get Orion.

“James ..” Eva looks at James with tears in his eyes. Eva hugged James. Eva knows that James loves her and Orion very much.

“James ... I'm going to give birth to Orion.”

“Cannot. I can't lose you.”

“James, listen to me. Orion might be our only child. There will be no Cassiopeia, Ursa, Pegasus and others. We have to defend Orion.”

“I don't want to lose you, Ev.”

“Doctor said I could die. But I also believe I can live.” Eva taps James' hand into her distended stomach. “We can't just take away the fruit of our love. There is a responsibility as parents. We've made it present in my stomach. We can definitely make him born in this world.”

Against everything that exists, Orion was born safely. Eva is also in good condition. 

“Hai, Orion.” Papa James saw the grandson who was almost aborted. James also saw Orion. Orion could not see but now he could see it all the time.

“Orion looks like you were a baby, James. Papa remembers that you were so small. Mama who diligently loves you milk.” Papa James remembers his past.

Then came James' frenzied cousins. They brought lots of gifts for Orion as well as Eva. They're alternating seeing Orion. “James is now Papa. Not expecting a small child who used to like snot already have a baby.”

“Makanya quickly get married, let's have a baby yourself.”

“Jomblo leag. No partner.”

“Don't choose too many. Comot aja on the road.” 

“Unfortunately marriage is easy.”

“Easy. Make it difficult.”

...***...

Eva and Orion are allowed to go home. James helps carry Orion. He took a break filming for a while to help keep Orion. He knew he could not rest too long. Many new stars could replace him at any moment.

“I'm shooting again tomorrow. You don't pa pa I stay?” James's worried.

“No pa pa Papa Orion. There's an aunt here who's helping me. No need to worry. Focus on filming aja.”

Eva's guarding Orion. James calls from the set. 

“Orion, Papa calls Orion tuh.” Eva shows Orion opening her eyes. Orion smiles.

“Manic son Papa.” James was worried. He wants to go home quickly to Orion.

“Today I can go home fast. The rest of the scene is one more scene. What to bring?”

“Light of month, martabak, pizza, ..”

“Three is enough. Later you add round.”

“Who made me round who?”

“I.”
