The next morning, Sri does not find Lucky next to her. It was still morning blind. Lucky woke up first. Sri saw the clock on the nightstand still showing four o'clock less. And Lucky doesn't exist. Has Lucky been to the gym this early? Or did her husband not sleep with her last night?
Head's dizzy. The nausea whack is very intense lately. He got out of bed and vomited in the bathroom. Gasps limply holding his head that feels spinning. Crawl back to bed. Cowering over his body.
Close your eyes hoping the nausea goes away quickly. Ah.. Yesterday, she wanted to share the happy news about her pregnancy. But hindered by his kidnapping. And feel stupid why last night she didn't tell her husband? Sri thought this morning she'd tell Lucky.
Melani was busy calling her husband and son's cell phone. Mr. Sam reported this morning, that this morning his master's second blind had left. Melani nagged because the two men could not be contacted. Also out of the house is not good.
"What happened to them? why are there so many secrets from me?" grumble Melani annoyed. "Sir Sam, don't you know where the two of them are?"
"Sorry, madam. I don't know" Sam bowed respectfully.
Melani grunts annoyed. Back to trying to contact. But still nil. I sent a lot of messages, but none of them were answered.
Sri came down from the top floor. He woke up late because he could only sleep after dawn. Melani approached him.
"Darling, where's your husband?"
"Lho's? isn't Mase in the gym, mami?" Sri asked back in wonder.
"There is no Sri. This morning I was looking for both of them. Not only is your husband missing, but your in-laws are gone too. Huh! I don't know what they're doing to keep secrets from me!"
Melani sat back down with a huff. Nagging at length. Very upset to know her son and husband just vanished.
"Sri thought Mase had gone to the gym early in the morning, mi" Sri sat down next to Melani.
"Mommy thinks so too. But there's no. Your papa doesn't even exist."
Sri. Where did Lucky go? It's not usual that they both go to the office that early, is it? And what did they do until they left without saying goodbye?
"Mommy tried to contact Baris?"
"Akkh.. They're all the same. Even Noah can't be called"
Noah's? How's that guy doing? And her mother-in-law doesn't know about Noah?
"Ah.. Never mind. Let 'em. Come on Sri, let's have breakfast"
Melani takes Sri to the dining room. Breakfast is served there. Still with the lingering annoyance, Melani had breakfast quickly.
"Mami" call Sri. Melani looked up at him in wonder.
"What's up, baby?"
"Didn't mom know anything about Mr. Noah?"
Melani. "What's wrong with Noah?"
Sri looked at her mother-in-law doubtfully. Confused to explain what.
"Sri, why Noah?" Melanie repeated her question.
"Emmm.. That's mam.. Last night's incident"
"Lucky beat him up?"
Sri nodded.
"Ah.. Its alright. They'll be better" Melani brushed her hand in the air.
"But, mi.. Mase said tell him to vanish Mr. Noah. Kasi ate crocodiles he said"
"Ohuukk.. Uhukk.." Melani flinched until choking.
"Slow down mi"
Sri was shocked and thrust a glass filled with water to Melani. Patting Melani's back slowly. Feeling guilty for saying that.
"You're serious, Sri?"
Sri could only nod in suspense. Melani gasped in surprise. Is that how angry Lucky is to order to eliminate Noah?
Mr. Sam came to face. Bowing respectfully and conveying that his master has returned home. Soon Melani moved to the front room followed by Sri.Look Lucky and Frans look tangled. Maybe because my son did not sleep.
"You from mama? I called a hundred times but didn't you guys pick up?! Are you keeping something from me?" cecar Melani saw both.
Lucky and Frans were silent. Lucky glanced at Sri for a moment but said nothing. Melani was so anxious that she pulled Frans' arm to answer all her questions.
"Calm down, baby" Frans patted his wife's hand.
"What is quiet? You always say that. I was worried from the moment I called you" Melani scolded with annoyance.
"Mommy, we need to talk" Lucky said suddenly.
"Eh?" Melani instantly stupefied at Lucky's unusual tone of voice. "What's wrong?"
Lucky did not answer. Stepping upstairs to his papa's study. Melani looked at her husband question mark. But Frans was silent without explanation.
"What's up, Frans?"
"We need to talk, baby"
"But.. But.." Melani looks towards Lucky who has gone upstairs and Frans turns.
Frans did not answer his wife's question. But instead look at Sri. "Sri, you wait here for a minute, okay?"
Sri felt something was happening. Lately Lucky's attitude is very strange. More quiet and stiff. Sri nodded her head with a heavy heart. They did not want Sri to hear the conversation. Frans immediately invited Melani to work.
"What?!" Melani glares ferociously. He's upset. Didn't expect Lucky to say that this time. "What do you mean, Luck? Explain to mami! Why do you want Sri to go home to her parents? Have you gone crazy? Huh uh?"
"Dear, relax. Listen to what Lucky has to say. Don't get mad like this" Frans calmed his wife who already looked very angry.
"You are the same! You two have been hiding a lot from me lately. You don't want me and Sri to know. What's the matter exactly?"
"Mam, be patient. Be sitting. Listen to my explanation" Lucky pulled Melani's hand to sit with her on the sofa.
"alright. Now tell mama. Watch out for you lying!" threaten Melani's.
Lucky took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then start explaining what really happened.
"Mami know 'And the state of the company is now dying? It was all Levi and Uncle Fardo. They're making every move and traps are destroying us, mam"
"Geez!" Melani was surprised and shut her mouth. I can't believe what Lucky said.
"Regarding grandfather, it was also their work" Melani widened her eyes even more. "And that made me want my wife to come home, because Amira was involved in it"
"But.. But what's the connection? Your wife here doesn't have any effect, does she?" Melani felt unaccepted.
"Yesterday, Geby came to the office. He said he had heard his parents' conversation with Amira. They're spying on us, mam. Amira won't stop throwing tantrums until I throw my wife away"
"God! Snake girl!" hiss Melani disgusted.
"This is for the good of Sri, mami. I can't be free to act after last night. In order for them to believe I hate my wife, I have to get rid of Sri first. So that Amira feels satisfied"
"So, the incident in the hotel room was just fabricated?"
Lucky nodded. "They tried to trap Sri and Noah. So, we also helped engineer last night's events"
"God! And what about Noah? Sri said you'd make Noah a crocodile. You're crazy, Luck?" Amira hits Lucky's thighs fat. Lucky smiled a little.
"There was still Amira at the time. I had to impress her with the drama"
"You're crazy for a drama like that!" Amira looked at her husband annoyed. "But mami still disagreed that Sri had to go back to the village. Point!"
"Mommy.. Understand. Amira won't stop hurting my wife, mom. Sri must be safe" Lucky stared at Melani pleading.
"He's just here. Nothing's gonna happen. They won't be able to touch my daughter-in-law. Just strengthen the guard" Melani remained insistent.
"Darling, you have to agree. It's for the good of your son-in-law. You should accompany her home. In order for them to believe that Lucky has returned Sri to his parents' house because of the incident in the hotel room" Frans convinces his wife.
"Akhc.. It doesn't make sense! I still disagree, honey. My son-in-law stays here! Point!" Melani refuses. "What's the trouble anyway? Sri'll be fine here!"
"No mam. Because there are spies here too"
"What?! Who you mean?"
"Lina."
"Well?!"
Melani. There were so many things he didn't know all along. This is beyond her expectations. Lina is a waitress who has only been in for a few months. Melani does not expect that Lina is also one of Levi's men.
"And why do I want my mother to accompany my wife home, because Sri is pregnant, mam"
Melani's body stiffened. Very surprised to hear what his son just said. Eyes warming. The taste of haru burst into fullness in his heart. Son-in-law's pregnant. This was his dream long ago. But why should there be this problem? Why did the story repeat itself?
"Really, Luck?" lirih tanya said that from the lips of Melani who was trembling to hold back the cry.
"Yes, mom" Lucky nodded.
"Then why don't you tell that to your wife?" Melani shook Lucky's arm.
"Can't be now, mom. Let no one know about this. Don't get leaking. I don't want Amira to know Sri's pregnancy. Hence mommy.. Please accompany my wife. Guard him. Don't let him stress. Tell him what was the reason that made him understand. I can't get too close to him now. Mama please"
Melani looked at her husband with tears. As if asking for justification from her husband, what Lucky said was true. Frans Smiled and nodded small.
"hiks... Hix.. Poor my son-in-law. He's got to face this all." Melani sobbing haru.
"Mommy, don't be suspicious after this. Therefore, I want you to get out of this house with Sri. To make everything go smoothly. We've been planning this for a long time. But about Sri's pregnancy, it's out of plan."
"Did Anwar's doctor say Sri's pregnancy?" Tanya Melani faltered.
"Yes, honey. And Anwar has already done the initial action to make Sri's fetus okay. Try not to stress out your daughter-in-law and think too hard. You have to take good care of him" Frans said, rubbing his wife's back.
"But what about your in-laws, Luck? Surely Ms. Warti will be confused why Sri came home without you"
"We'll call mother-in-law later. I'll tell you the truth. But please mami, don't say anything about this matter to Sri. Secret first. I'm afraid Sri can't help herself. Then it will be all revealed. Just one more step, mam"
Unable to do much, Melani nodded steadily. He promised to keep his son-in-law and prospective baby in Sri's womb. His future grandson.
"Say, how many months, Luck?"
"Six Weeks"
"Alhamdulillah.. I'm gonna have a granddaughter" Melani's getting teary-eyed.
The three of them dissolve in the heat. Moreover, Lucky, his eyes glazed because he could not be free to be friendly to his wife. Want to stroke the stomach and kiss it, but can only be done when Sri sleeps in her sleep. To be impressed that Lucky knows nothing.
"Then... Noah's? Is she okay? There are no real crocodiles, right?" suddenly Melani asked with an upright body. He remembered his nephew who had been beaten by Lucky
Lucky rolled his eyes lazily. Who had wanted to cry because of haru, now became annoyed. Very envious when Sri and Melani always mention the name Noah.
"Mommy, am I not enough? why always mess around with Noah? Or do you want me to actually give him crocodile food?" Lucky's upset.
"Hehehe.. Yes yes... You're my dearest son" Melani hugs Lucky and shakes him in a daze.
