...I never distinguish between parents and in-laws. Both of them I have considered as my own parents and there is nothing I distinguish....

After dinner. The next event continued by chatting together in the family room. Everyone looks so enthusiastic. It's not even visible if they're just friends. Both Almeera, Reno, Adeeva, Bara and the Meera family all look like extended families.
Papa Darren and Mama Tari never discriminated Almeera's best friend. The two men had always considered Adeeva and Zelia like their daughters.
"Mas. How are Ummi and Abi?" almeera asked Bara.
Bara who was asked like that could only sigh slowly. Actually all this time he was covering something from his wife. It is also at his own request.
"In reply!" exclaim Almeera slowly.
Everyone is talking to each other. So no one cared about Almeera and Bara.Â
"Abi and Ummi are in Singapore, actually" Bara surprised Almeera.
"Singapore?" repeat in disbelief. "Well?"Â
"Abi has heart disease, honey. He was treated there by his personal doctor," said Bara who increasingly made Almeera widen his eyes.
"Why didn't anyone tell me about this?" the excitement slightly shouted in surprise and made everyone's gazes fixed on the two.Â
"What's up, kid? Why are you screaming?" ask Papa Darren curiously.
"Do you know if my in-laws are in Singapore?" asked Almeera with eyes looking at the figure of her father attached.
Papa Darren's face was so tense. Even he glanced at the figure of his daughter-in-law who sat beside Bara and made Almeera guess what answer was in his mind.Â
"So Papa knows?"Â
"Darling!"Â
Almeera. The woman immediately stood up and walked quickly leaving everyone behind. The pregnant woman may feel lied to about her in-laws health.
"So you haven't told Almeera?" mama Tari asked slowly rubbing her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
"Not yet, Ma," said Bara listlessly. "Mom knows for yourself, right? Returning from Malang and Yogya. We're also helping with Reno and Adeeva's wedding preparations."
"However Bara forgot to tell him," he continued with his head down.
Papa Darren was only able to sigh heavily. However, he did not blame his son-in-law. However his ironclad good intentions are just not willing to let Almeera come to mind and worry.
During this time Ummi Mira did cover up Abi Hafiz's disease because of her husband's request. He did not want to make his son-in-law and two grandchildren sad.Â
"Pursue your wife. She's pregnant now. Give a good understanding so that Almeera can understand," said Papa Darren wisely.
"Yes, Pa."Â
Finally Bara left everyone. He also said goodbye to Bia and Abraham who were busy watching television. After all, her two children must have heard her mother's screams.
Bara does not want if his son and daughter think badly of him and think that he is the one who makes his mother angry.Â
Slowly, Bara entered his room. She could faintly hear the sound of crying from the balcony which made Bara feel even more guilty.
Finally the father of four children took a blanket from the closet. Then he took her to the balcony of the room. There, Bara could see his wife sitting down by looking ahead.Â
His shoulders trembled which signified that his wife was crying violently. Honest at the bottom of Bara's heart, there is a feeling of pride and deeply moved on the figure of his wife. Â
Bara could see the sincere affection for his parents from this wife.Â
Almeera did not answer and did not turn around. The woman was only seen wiping away her tears while still facing the lower garden.
Bara sighed softly. He won't back down again. He doesn't want Almeera to think badly of him. He wants to finish all this tonight so that the two children in his wife's stomach don't feel hurt either.Â
"I know Abi's illness for a few weeks" Bara began.Â
He chose to tell a story behind his wife even though Almeera did not look at him.
"I know that, after our return from Yogyakarta," he said honestly. "At that time I wanted to visit my parents' house, saw the ambulance parked neatly in the yard. I didn't come down when I saw from inside that someone was being stretchered. However, when I saw ummi could walk, I became surprised if the one on the stretcher was abi."Â
The sound of the embers started to hoarse. The man looked at the night sky with a sad feeling.
He was really on the verge of confusion at the moment. On one side he wanted to be next to his ashes. However, on the other hand there are his children and his wife who also need him.Â
Moreover, the request of Ummi Mira who asked him not to tell his son-in-law and grandson and ask Bara to take care of them. Makes the man always think with the figure of his brother.
"Ummi is the one who is most unwilling to tell you about Abi's condition" Bara's pause, which turns Almeera around.
"Why?" exclaim Almeera with a flushed nose. "Why doesn't Ummi want Meera to know?"Â
"Because ummi doesn't want you to think. Ummi also said, surely you guys are again pregnant program. Ummi does not want you to participate in the stress of thinking about the state of abi."Â
"But he's Ummi and Abiku, Mas. I never said they were my in-laws. Both Abi Hafiz and Umm Mira are both parents after Papa and Mama."Â
The bar became touched. This is the heart of his wife. This is as good as the heart of the woman he once hurt so deeply.
"I know" said Bara as he approached.
He rubbed two sides of his wife's face to make Almeera's eyes again misty. Their gazes looked at each other fixedly and with a single blink, Almeera again shed her tears. Slowly Bara covered his wife's body with a blanket that he brought.
"I'm sorry, Ummi and all, honey. I know you love Abi and Ummi very much" Bara said sincerely. "But Ummi just doesn't want you to think."Â
Almeera slammed into Bara's arms. The woman cried unexpectedly if Umm Mira was so worried about her condition and did not want her many thoughts.Â
"Papa and I didn't mean to lie to you either. I'm sorry."Â
Bara wants everything done tonight. He has no intention of lying. However, it was circumstances that forced him to do this. Plus the coercion from Umminya who said to keep it a secret made Bara inevitably do that.
"How's Abi doing, Mas?" almeera asked in a hoarse voice and kept hugging Bara.
"Abi's been unconscious, honey," he said, making Almeera keep her body away. "Yes. Abi comma. It's a drop."Â
"Innalillahi wainna ilaihi raji'un." Almeera's eyes are flooding with tears.
His head shook with tears. "I want to see Abi."
"May but wait for your pregnancy to be strong, dear. You didn't forget, did you? That you're pregnant."Â
Almeera gave a rough sigh. He forgot about that. Finally the prospective mother of four children tried to neutralize his emotions that had been up and down for more calm.
"Yes I did not forget, Mas," Almeera said with regret. "I want to call Ummi!"Â
"Come on! I'll call Ummi so you can talk to him."Â

Who asked his father-in-law Mbak Meera why not show up. Patience well. There are portions of each. There's an outline all by itself so replace it.
This part makes sad just as lethargic itself.
