It did not feel almost a week Sukma was in the family home Gilang. I don't know why it feels so comfortable to be among this family. During his new life, Sukma felt what it was like to have a family.

Everyone was kind and very attentive to Sukma. Not just one or two people, but everything is so good for Sukma. Including his grandfather and mother Gilang was very concerned about Sukma.

"It turns out like this it feels like having a family," murmured the inner Sukma.

"What's up, son?" ask Bhaskara's grandfather who saw Sukma just standing behind the window.

"Eh grandfather, it's okay cake," replied Sukma.

"Grandfather notice it looks like you're thinking about something" Bhaskara's grandfather said.

"Ah is not kek, I am not thinking about anything," said Sukma who felt confused to answer what.

"Oiya Sukma where is your family?" ask grandpa again.

Hearing this makes Sukma feel confused about what to answer. I don't know where Sukma started telling me about his family. Sukma was silent for a moment. It seems like he is thinking back to his past.

"If you don't want to tell me it's okay son," said the grandfather who felt bad himself with his question.

"Mom, not so cake. Actually my mother has long died, while my father is somewhere because since childhood he left me," said Sukma who felt sad because he remembered his past.

"I'm sorry, grandfather, I don't know if your life is so sad" said the grandfather who was so concerned to hear about the Sukma family.

"It's okay cake" Sukma replied with a smile.

"This is the shirt you have to wear, son. Oiya do not forget her veil should be worn and this event is a sacred event for the prospective baby and also his mother. You will be prayed for in particular" Risma added as she walked into Amanda's room.

"Yes ma'am" Amanda replied as she received the clothes.

"Oiya Sukma, sorry you can not come down because this can only be done by one person who is pregnant. If you don't eat, you will do this ritual for you too" Risma said.

"It's okay ma'am, I'll just wait in the room" replied Sukma.

Not long after his mother came out of the room, Gilang had just entered the room.

"How about Gilang, mom says it's a very sacred event. The mother and the baby must be present for a special prayer. I can't play around with this show because my pregnancy is just a pretend one" Amanda said.

"Don't worry, I'll find another way" said Gilang, who looked serious about something.

"Look, let Sukma who will wear this clothes and be in my position," said Amanda who immediately thought carefully.

"But what if it gets caught?" tanya Gilang who linked the two halis.

"Everything is safe, because my mother asked me to wear a veil and my face should not be visible" Amanda said.

Finally they agreed to replace Amanda by Sukma. Sukma who happened to be among them immediately changed the clothes given by Risma. All the jewelry that Amanda wears is temporarily worn by Sukma to make it more convincing.

While under all the families had already gathered as the event was about to start.
