RUINED MY HOPE

22. The cintia?

Seeing Arin's condition is quite good, today Reza intends to enter the office. For a few days ago Reza had asked permission because his wife was sick. Although Reza does not want to leave his wife alone, Reza must still go to work.

"I'm sorry brother rin, because today brother can't accompany you. Maybe today my sister will start working" Arin said after finishing her breakfast.

"It's okay, sister, Arin is healthier, too" replied Arin as he cleaned the dishes at the dinner table.

"Oiya you have to take care of yourself, do not cape-cape, yes" Reza said as he hugged his wife from behind.

"Yes, sister" answered Arin, hugging her husband.

Reza kissed Arin a few times before he left.

"Ish brother," cried Arin while trying to release Reza's embrace.

"Why? Brother still does not know," said Reza while whispering into Arin's ear and even further tighten his embrace.

"Udah noon loh kak," said Arin reminded.

"Gosh it's 7 o'clock more, you don't remind me, anyway" grumbled Reza while tidying up her clothes and hair.

"I told you earlier, too" Arin said.

"Yes, my sister left first, yes" said Reza, who kissed Arin's forehead before leaving.

"Yes, be careful on the road!" arin exclaimed with a deep smile.

Since Reza found out his wife was pregnant, he became more attentive to Arin. Reza loves and loves Arin. Now their family members will increase. It adds more happiness to Reza.

After her husband left, Arin as usual cleaned the house. But this time only light work that he did such as sweeping the floor, washing dishes, even washing clothes was already using the washing machine. So it won't make Arin tired.

After that, Arin went to the kitchen to look at the food stock. He opened the refrigerator and chose what vegetables he would cook today. Finally Arin cooks green chili chicken and kale. Not to forget, he also fried tofu Reza's favorite and crackers as a complement.

It didn't feel like Arin was doing homework all day. After the cooking was finished Arin felt tired. He also laid his body on the sofa.

"Hufft, today is so tiring" Arin said as he rubbed his sweaty forehead.

"What else yes, it feels boring at home," said Arin again.

A few moments later, Arin thought he would call his aunt to tell her about her pregnancy. Arin also took his flat object on the nightstand.

"Halo bi assalamualaikum" said Arin.

"Waalaikumsalam rin how are you?" replied Bi Marni who was across there who was happy because Arin had not contacted her for a long time.

"Alhamdulillah well bi, how is aunt? Grandpa grandma?" ask Arin.

"Alhamdulillah good also rin," replied Bi Marni.

"Thank God then bi. Oiya bi Arin is pregnant bi," said Arin again who immediately told her the meaning.

"Well, thank God, my aunt is happy. The food must be taken care of, Rin, eat more vegetables. Don't get tired, too, have plenty of rest. And do not forget to drink coconut water so that the baby is clean" said Bi Marni who explained at length.

"Ready, ready," replied Arin who was happy because her aunt was so attentive to Arin.

"Yes, then, Arin hangs up the phone, bi, assalamualaikum."

"Yes rin waalaikumsalam," replied Bi Marni who immediately closed her call.

Hearing the news of Arin's pregnancy made Bi Marni very happy. Bi Marni immediately told this happy news to the whole family, especially Arin's grandfather and grandmother. Everyone was happy to hear this happy news.

"Isn't that Sintia?" inner murmur Reza.

The longer the Reza motorbike is getting closer to Sintia.

"Synthea? What are you doing here?" asked Reza who had seen Sintia from a distance was sitting on the bus stop.

"Reza?" ask Sintia who did not expect that she would meet her ex-husband here.

"I, I'm waiting for the bus" said Sintia, whose eyes looked as if she was crying. He was with a boy who was about 4 years old and brought a large suitcase.

"But where are you going? Where's your husband?" ask Reza.

"Here it is, it is none of your business" said Sintia who left Reza.

"But Sintia, I need to know where you're going?" ask Reza again who feels guilty because it has been a long time since he did not find out about the life of Sintia.

Without answering Reza's question, Sintia also looked confused. Her eyes began to glaze over as Reza asked her whereabouts.

"What really happened to Sintia? Try to tell me," said Reza who felt sorry to see the state of Sintia now.

"Eat mom, I'm hungry" said the boy half-crying.

"So you haven't eaten yet?" ask Reza again.

Sintia just shook her head, she was embarrassed by what her son said. Actually Sintia needs Reza's help but she feels embarrassed if she has to say the problem. Sintia was just silent and began to glaze again until the clear circle fell on her cheeks.

"Yes, we ate there first" pointed Reza at the diner not too far from where they were standing.

"Great, we eat" the boy cheered.

"Yes, we're eating, what's your name?" tanya Reza rubbed the little boy's hair.

"I'm Zidan om" replied the little boy who now looked happy.

"What a good name, let's eat!" exclaim Reza who immediately took the boy. Reza really likes kids. For that he can immediately get along with Zidan who he just met.

They finally arrived at a restaurant that is not too luxurious but quite crowded by the visitors. Reza immediately ordered 2 servings of food and 3 drinks for himself. Not long after their order came. Reza immediately offered food in front of Zidan and Sintia.

"You didn't eat yourself?" asked Sintia who felt bad, but she was so hungry since then.

"No, I'm still full. Just thirsty," replied Reza who immediately sipped his ordered drink.

Zidan who had been hungry since then immediately devoured his food. Although he was still very small, but he wanted to eat alone and did not want to be fed by others.

"Eat a lot!" reza said as he rubbed the little boy's hair.

"Well," replied Zidan, whose mouth was full of food.

"Where are you going after this?" reza asked again after seeing that Sintia's food had run out.

"Come on, I also feel confused about where to go" said Sintia.

"Actually what happened to you? Why didn't your husband deliver it?" ask Reza again.

Hearing Reza's question makes Sintia confused to tell a story or not.
