Tonight I'm staying at my mom's house because Nath told me he's coming home tonight.
While in Jogja, Nath completely shut down all information about him. He only occasionally sends selfies when he is in a place he visited. Sometimes in the tourist area, sometimes in restaurants.
Impossible, isn't it, that he's there alone? But who was he there with? The question came into my mind. It made it hard for me to sleep well last night.
I'm afraid he's disappointing mom, just like me and Zoya. And considering he's papa's biological son, a man anyway, then if he acts out of bounds, papa will definitely be very wrathful. That's why I'm here. To calm mom and dad.
"Bi.. dong already dear. You're sleeping, yeah." Persuade Rion who had just seen me pacing back and forth in the room. I stared at the wall clock, it's 10.
"Nath why haven't you come home yet, anyway?" just pissed. "Say tonight he's home."
"Where do I know, baby!" Rion answered wrongly. "At first the night was long. Could he get to midnight."
Geck... Geck... Geck...
Rion opens the door and it turns out that Ezra and Zoya are in front of our room.
"Got a bang." Rion gives way for Ezra and Zoya to enter.
"Not sleeping either, Bi?" ask Zoya.
"Can't, Zoy. It's kayak de javu. We made a mistake and Mama got mad." My words remind Zoya of our mistake 2 years ago.
"Hem!" Deheman Rion makes me grin. He felt guilty too, yes because it was my fault for his intervention.
Geck... Geck...
"Sister, I can come in." That's Nair's voice.
"Just in, Nair." My solute.
Nair enters and is surprised to see Zoya also being here. "Sister Zoy here too?"
"Can't sleep, Nair. Why are you here?" Reply Zoya.
"Sama brother. I can't sleep either. I don't know why my feelings aren't so good." I'm getting worried, but Nair is Nath's twin brother. The inner bond between the two of them definitely could not be underestimated.
"You're making them worry, Nair!" Whisper Rion to my sister.
"Well, how should I be, Yon!"
"Sholat, recite and pray. He said he was studying, but it's still being taught." Rion sneered at Nath. I glanced at my husband who spoke without a second thought.
"Udah Yon but still restless as well."
"Sister..."
"I actually feel like this month, Nath's changed." We looked at Nair closely.
"Issh..just look at it." Nair pushed the face of Rion who saw his face too close.
"How do you change?"
"He often daydreams, brother. Sometimes angry, sometimes smiling. What's worse, sometimes he's joking around not clear brother."
"He's stressed times, Nair. Yesterday he had another test." Well, Ezra's answer has a point, too.
"But it's like the characteristics of people falling in love, bang." Rion made us look at him at once. He rewinded his face for fear of seeing our gazes that seemed to want to devour him.
"I'm afraid he made a mistake, Nair."
"I can't imagine Nath coming home with an old pregnant woman and confessing that it's her son."
"Ihh.. amit-amit, Bi." cut Zoya.
"Or even Nath and the woman were holding a baby. Could it be, she was there because the woman gave birth?" Rion made us even more shudder in horror.
"Udah ah! Can't think of anything weird. Here's another pregnant duo, instead of relaxing and not thinking of the heavy-heavy. It's what he thinks of ngaco." Ezra always the most mature. Hehe..
The sound of the motor entering the home page. "Nath!" Shouts us at the same time.
We immediately went down, mama papa even to the point of surprise when the five of us went down the stairs. Mom and Dad were waiting in the family room.
"The suspect is not in yet. But his algoji's already down." I could have papa. Don't know if the person above has been deg-degan like to receive graduation.
"But good."
"Assalamualaik." Say Nath softly as he opens the door.
"Waalaikum salam." we said together.
Nath who was closing the door to the shortest in surprise.
"All of you here?" Ask approaches.
I saw him look tired. His eye bags are clearly visible. His face also looked dull. Is he on vacation or in the market?
"Sit down!" Papa's orders. We were all sitting on the couch and Nath, the suspect had to sit on that little couch without the backrest.
"Beegh. Go straight to the green table?" Just ask when we realize everyone has a question in our brains.
"Where are you, Nath?" Mama's soft voice made her look at the woman who gave birth to her.
"Who's the guy?"
"By yourself, ma." He answered slowly and he lowered his head.
Me, Nair and Zoya looked at each other. We know Nath's hiding something, but what? From the way he answered my mom's questions, looking at my mom, we all three knew. Even my mom knows it.
"Are you all right, Nath?" Ask papa.
Nath nodded. "If there's any story with mom papa."
"You can go into the room." Papa's orders.
The confused Nath slowly stood up and climbed upwards. Perhaps in his heart was wondering, why was he so easily let go.
"Pa, why?" ask me when Nath has entered the room.
"She has a problem, but doesn't want a story yet. Let him rest first. Tomorrow we'll have him talk again."
Mama agreed.
"Pa, we should have taken him to Jogja yesterday. So we know who he is there and who it is." Nair's Proposal.
"It's okay, Nair. Now you guys rest up. Nath's gone home safely, that's been a great relief for papa's mom."
Rion and I went into the room. We slept well because Nath was fine.
I squirm as the qiroah voices in the mosque begin to sound. I shook Rion's body to wake her up.
We pray at dawn in this house. Routine activities since the beginning that we usually do.
"This family feels complete." Mama's mouth finished praying. Zoya and I sat next to Mom.
Mama stroked our stomachs in turn. "Come on! Who's gonna come out first, huh?" We laughed at my mother's behavior.
"Don't go together, yeah. It's a little confused which one to carry."
We all laughed. "Oma carried one, opa carried the other." Papa gave me his thumb.
"By pleasure, Bi."
"You guys go back to the room, yeah. Let mama be the same aunt who cooks."
And at breakfast, Zoya complains her stomach hurts. He grimaced holding his stomach.
"Zoy...!" I'll get up soon. I couldn't bear to see him until he bowed so.
"Bi, don't panic. Careful baby."
Erza crouched down next to Zoya's body, stroking her stomach and whispering for some reason. Maybe she was talking to her baby to stay okay.
"Maaa. blood." Ezra immediately raised Zoya's body when he realized that the long negligee had blood stains.
"Astag."
"Sick, Zra."
"Sick ma." Rintih Zoya's.
"Will Zoya give birth, Ma?" ask Ezra.
"Maybe it's Zra." Mom's voice approached Zoya.
"Prepare the car, Nair, Nath! This is why it's in diem anyway." I panicked, instead of moving quickly, they were busy watching.
"Bi, don't panic, baby!" Rion warned me again. He grabbed my shoulder and rubbed gently with his palm.
Not long ago, the car horn sounded the sign the car was standby.
Ezra holds Zoya's body and mama follows behind her. "Ma, baby clothes?" I asked when I saw that my mom had brought nothing but her own bag.
"It's not here, Bi. Maybe at home."
Or maybe Zoya hasn't been shopping since her seven-month acra was only implemented a few days ago before me.
"We're there, Yon."
"Bye...." Rion begged me not to go.
"I'm worried, Yon."
"You can worry but remember our son, Bi."
"Last night Nath you thought, now brother Zoy."
"We are waiting for news from my mom. You sit quietly and pray a lot for Zoya's sister and the baby."
I hugged Rion. "He's gonna be all right, Yon?"
"God willing, Bi."
Oh God, save Zoy and his baby.
