[Be careful, take good care of yourself. Never eat any food given by someone you do not know. Be careful, because your baby is in danger.]

Again, Muthia received a short message from an unknown number on her phone.

Initially Muthia was ignorant and ordinary, she thought it might be the work of a prankster, but the number continued to send a warning message, so that she was careful, because there were those who wanted to intend evil with the content.

Muthia daydreams, weighing whether to tell Aswin about the messages he often receives with the same number and with the same goal, which is to ask him to be careful and alert.

Muthia decided to call the number, but as she already did, it was always inactive every time she finished sending the message.

"Alloh, if it is true what is conveyed in this message, please take care and protect us, keep us from the evil intentions of people who want to hurt us, I leave everything to YOU, O Allah." Muthia prayed for protection from the Almighty in her heart, and her face was clearly marked by anxiety and anxiety.

Amir who was already aware of his daydreams about only his heart, looked in wonder at Muthia money looked tense.

"Thia, what's wrong with you? it hurt?" amir's voice shocked Muthia who was not focused, because her mind was not okay, thinking of a mysterious message from someone who he did not know who the sender was.

Before replying, Muthia took a deep breath, Muthia threw her gaze towards the exit, seeing her foster children running around in the courtyard after they finished studying and were resting, also seen Joseph who participated in the play gathered with other children, Joseph looked so happy and continued to laugh so funny, which was followed mbok Narti behind him.

"I don't know, I suddenly felt anxious. I didn't feel good after reading a message sent by someone I didn't know who, but it wasn't just once or twice, often that number warned me to be careful, because someone has evil intentions for me and my future baby.

At first I was ordinary, because I thought it was just a prankster. But I've been thinking about it for a long time." Muthia said what was the burden on her mind at this time, because indeed her heart was really not calm with the message she had received so far.

"Have you tried calling the number, or replying to the message to just ask who he is?"

Amir took it seriously and also worried about Muthia's safety, what else was now pregnant.

"Already! But it's not active every time I call her, and my message is read only. I don't know what that person means, but I feel like he wants to convey what he knows by hiding, probably for fear of being discovered and fatal to him. I tried to digest every sentence he sent, all the same, asking me to be careful and not to accept any food from others, because it would be a danger to the baby in my stomach." Muthia explained everything to Amir who was still listening with a tense face,

"May, I need that guy's number, let me track it. Who knows, who would know who that person is by knowing his current location." Sahut Amir is serious, and wants to act quickly so that the problem is not protracted and can be fatal for the safety of Muthia as well as her content.

"Have you told your husband about this?" continued Amir stared fixedly at Muthia who still looked tense.

"Not yet, I'm afraid to make him think and interfere with his work, what's more now he's busy with his new project from the government." Muthia replied gamang and immediately remembered the tired smile of her husband, her husband, it was heartless to add to the burden of the mind of the man she so dearly cared about.

"Well, you say to your husband, it's a serious matter, lest he feel like he's not being considered because you don't want to say, as busy as Aswin is, I'm sure you'll be his priority, what else is it about the safety of you and your child. Talk it all out with your husband, before it's too late and hopefully not until something happens. That's my advice, because I'm also a man, I'll feel unappreciated and hurt when the closest people choose to save and shut up without telling a story, is this a serious problem in my opinion." Amir said what was in his mind at length with a firm highlight, because according to him, Aswin must know before it is too late.

Muthia was silent, thinking about what Amir said, it was a serious problem and Aswin had to be told immediately, at least Muthia did not keep everything herself, she said, and if it's true what the sender said the same message, it means his safety is under threat.

Muthia doesn't want anything to happen with her baby.

"I'll tell my husband, I'm gonna call him, talk about the messages I've been receiving. Maybe it's better and I'll also be a little calm." said Muthia in the end, and made Amir smile with relief, because Muthia had made the right decision.

"Asalamualaikum." suddenly there was one of the female employees entered and brought the package handed to Muthia.

"Sorry, Mom. This was a courier who sent this to be delivered to Ms. Muthia." Wulan, handed the box inside the plastic to Muthia politely. And as soon as Amir and Muthia looked at each other, their thoughts referred to the contents of the message Muthia had just received.

"Lan, you know what name sent this?" Muthia asked Wulan in full investigation, perhaps the courier told her the name of the sender.

"No ma'am, the courier didn't say anything. Just said there's a package delivery for Ms. Muthia. Perhaps in there is the address of the sender." reply Wulan is not good, because it was not asking the name of the sender the same courier who delivered, received just like that.

Muthia deftly opened the plastic package containing two food boxes, and there was nothing in it. There's just a little paper that says, "Good food from me, Muthia." that's it, without the sender's name and address. Rouse suspiction.

"Lan, next time if someone sends you a package like this, what else is sent food, please ask what is the name of the sender and the address, if the courier can not just say refuse, yes, tell him to bring it back. And please convey this message to everyone, especially the same security guard who is standing guard in front. Thanks, you can come back." Muthia spoke resolutely and again exhaled deeply, her heart was already demented, because the message she received had also asked her not to receive any food from people she did not know.

"How is this, Mum?" Muthia looked at Amir trembling, she was really scared and anxious.
