"mom, let me make the porridge yes".naiya looks very enthusiastic to cook.

"yes, let me cook the vegetables. You like spicy do not?". I asked

"like mbak, we make a spicy one yes".

"maybe too".I said while cutting vegetables.

since I became pregnant I was so eager to eat, what could I eat without choosing, even at midnight I still like to eat. if you see, now my weight is increasing.

people say, if pregnant should not eat a lot later the child is big, but for me as long as I eat is healthy food a lot of fruits and vegetables it is not a problem, the more it makes me energized.

"bi".call me.

bi nina came to me

"yes non".

"bi, please keep an eye on alisya and aira yes".

"good non". bi nina went to see the kids.

"mombs, try my chili sauce". naiya bribed me chili for him.

"hmm good nay, pedes and it feels right.smart you make the sauce.

"really mbak?wahh thank you mbak". naiya looks happy.

"it's your turn to try the sour vegetable.

while tasting it, naiya's eyes widened and smiled.

"wahh. wahh.it feels amazing mbak, very good.can't wait to eat continuously". said naiya.

"you call mama in the room, let me prepare the meal".

"iya mbak". replied naiya.

"may you be happy".my words while putting the dishes on the dining table.

so far, my mom has never complained about my cooking. Everything I cook my mom always likes and it makes me very grateful.

at first I was worried that my mother did not like it, because what I cooked was always local instead of international.

I thought that all this time mama always ate international food so I took the initiative to cook mama local food that was no less delicious.

"hmm the fragrance has already been smelled from here.

"mama, sit down ma. we have lunch together.

mom sat down next to me and I put rice on my plate.

"for a long time mama did not eat like this, mama jd inget in the past if you look at sour vegetables".

"iya ma, said mbak karin vegetable tamarind can make our appetite rise.

"right, now my mom is getting hungry.

"let's eat please".

"hmmm delicious, mama likes. the sauce also tastes good to fit.

sontak makes me feel happy to hear the praise of mama.mama is the type of person who to the point, what he likes or does not directly say.

"thank you if you like, eat a lot of ma.

"thank you ma, thank you for the compliment to cook us". Naiya who looks very happy.

"you are like again at the cooking competition event yes, why you should shout thank you mom. you should thank you there are you guys, have cooked mama food that children.

"iya ma.

"already, the hunt for food. afterwards we get ready to go to uncle charly event.

we enjoyed the lunch well, mama was seen eating more than ever and making me very proud.

lunch was over, as usual me and Naiya cleaned the kitchen that we had messed up.

ting. tong. ting .

"bi..... ". my yell

"don't let me". jawan naiya.

"ohh yaa ". I continued to clean the table.

naiya immediately went to open the door to see who came. A few minutes later naiya returned with 2 large shopping bags.

"what the hell is nay? ". many wonder.

"it's our groceries mbak, the dress that we will wear tonight. 

"loh uda until the dress, why not say the same to me, I have not paid? ".my speech.

"it's okay mbak, all I've paid for. This is mbak's dress". naiya gave it to me.

"so anyway, this dress is expensive naiya. I so feel bad about you.

"is mbak, it's a gift from me to mbak". naiya shows her concern.

"thank you naiya. mbak will give you a gift too". I embrace naiya.

"you are not ready yet, soon papa, bram and Bayu come home.

"yes ma, here I want to change clothes first". soon I go upstairs.

the first time I attended an official event like this, previously mas bram never invited me because I always refused it.

I was afraid to be the center of attention of many people when I attended such an event, let alone mas bram was a famous young businessman, people must have noticed.

"this dress is too pretty for me.

I kept circling in front of the mirror, watching every shape of my body. My stomach was getting bigger with time, making me a little claustrophobic if I wore a dress that was a little loose on my body.

"did I change for another dress?  but, I don't have a better dress.how is this?". I rubbed my face.

"you're beautiful baby". suddenly mas bran went into the room and surprised me.

I turned my body around

"ahh bram, surprise me".

"sorry baby?". mas bram kissed my forehead

"you're pretty baby wear this dress, I love it". mas bram praised my appearance.

"i feel weird, because this dress is too pretty for me.

"dear, you're so beautiful too.you're my hereto you're the one person I'd most like to introduce to everyone that you're my beautiful wife" somehow mas bram said those words.

"gombal ih u mas". My face immediately reddened.

"yeah, you get ready I just wait downstairs, baby". mas bram come out leave me in the room.

"iya mas".I wear makeup on my face.

I stopped wearing make-up and looked at my face again in the mirror.I noticed every detail on my face, sometimes I thought that I wasn't as pretty as mas bram said, I thought, but at least his words made me confident in myself.

"mother". alisya came to my room 

"what's the matter, baby".

"woow mother is very beautiful".alisya stupefied looking at my face.

"why bengong is it dear. what is the mother's child".

"ayo mama, papa's been waiting downstairs". Alisya tugged at my hand.

"ohh yeah baby, mama uda is done. let's go down". me and alisya go downstairs.

papa, mama, mas bram Bayu and naiya are ready and waiting for me in the living room.they all look handsome and beautiful, they are, even I feel unsure of myself if I join the mas bram family.

at every step I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

"so beautiful carin". naiya looked at me with a look of amazement.

"what the hell, make me ashamed.

everyone smiled to see me wearing an unusual dress I was wearing.

"actually, yes mas bram" again naiya teased me.

"because everyone has gathered, let's go. Uncle charly will worry if we haven't arrived".

"we are one car only, use brother bram car". this time Bayu lazy to bring his car.

"smart you are". replied mas bram.

"yes, I'm fine, let's go". I pulled the hand of bram.

****

Company Uncle charly...

so many luxury cars are parked here, many journalists or media come to cover the inauguration of Option Buildings.

I was nervous to see so many people present, because this was the first time I had appeared before so many people as Bramantyo's wife.

"mom, don't be nervous".naiya noticed me from earlier.

mas bram immediately held onto my trembling hand

"it's okay baby, it's me".

I just nodded my head and took a breath to calm down.

"let's go down".the baby immediately opened the car door and got off.

we got down one by one from the car, as soon as we got down the camera flash from the media immediately highlighted us.The lights were so bright about my eyes and made me a little dizzy and made me a little hoyong.

"you're all right baby". mas bram kept holding my hand.

"i just couldn't stand the lights". I blocked my eyes with my palm.

"hold my hand dear, everything will be fine". mas bram protected me from the camera light with his body.

I held onto Mas bram's hand and followed his steps from behind slowly, until we finally arrived at the event room.

"you just sit here first".mas bram knows that I feel dizzy.

"no, I'm fine. Let me accompany you to say hello to uncle charly.

"let me accompany mbak karin here mas". said naiya.

"alright, you are here, yes, if there is anything, contact us ", replied Bayu.

"let's meet uncle charly first". Bayu and mas bram leave.

"nay, I feel bad about bram, but I actually feel dizzy and nauseous when the media camera flash highlights us.

"yes mbak, I understand. it's all because mbak is not used to this situation, besides mbak is also pregnant, it's natural mbak. mbak just drink first, mbak, if it's too late later we meet mas bram and mas Bayu there". naiya try to make me calm.

maybe if only there was no naiya, I didn't know what to do while waiting alone.
