1 year later....

"beauty morning". I woke up his alisya who was sound asleep in his room.

"aagh.... ". alisya stretched his body.

"let's wake up baby, we'll be leaving soon". I opened the window of his brow room and tidied up some of his clothes that were scattered.

"still very early in the morning mother". Alisya pulled again the blanket and covered her entire body.

"hhh, let's wake up baby. Look it's 7:30 in the morning.

today, we will go on vacation to Bali with our family. After many months we make a schedule, finally today we can go too.

"hmm, son and papa alike.it's hard to get up early.

"mother love time 5 minutes to wake up, otherwise wake up also his vacation will be canceled". I slightly threatened his alisya so that he immediately woke up.

"iyaa mother, alisya woke up". alisya rushed towards the bathroom.

"okay baby, a spit down yeah.we have breakfast first". I shouted so that alisya heard it in the bathroom.

"iya mama.

after I returned to the room, I saw that Mas Bram was still asleep in bed.

"jeez mas bram, I haven't woken up yet.

"how can I not get old fast, if every day I have to scream wake you up mas". I keep nagging at high speed.

"honey, early in the morning you are angry anyway". said mas bram while rubbing his eyes.

"how I am not angry mas, you are very difficult to wake up.we want to go on vacation, if you do not wake up later we can miss the plane.

"what time do we leave, baby?".

"at 10:30.

"what time is it?". mas bram was busy looking for his phone to look at the clock.

"at 8:15 am".

"okay okay, I'll get up and get ready baby". mas bram rushed into the bathroom.

"mas, I've prepared the clothes in bed".

"yes dear". cried mas bram from the bathroom.

"huuhh.until when do I take care of those big babies.

since this was our first vacation, I prepared everything in as much detail as possible.I made sure the important items did not miss.

"it looks like it's all".I double-checked the stuff in the suitcase.

"non, there are others who want to not bring". asked bi nina.

"no bi, this is enough. anyways vacation just to Bali anyway.if you need anything is still easy to find".

"breakfast used to be non". bi nina serves cuisine at the table.

"iya bi, thank you. mas, alisya. buruan down dear, let's have breakfast first". every morning routine should be screaming.

"dear Iyaa, take me very well. emmmuuacchh". mas bram kissed me on my forehead.

"where is mas's alisya?".

"that's darling".

I saw alisya come down with a few bags, and she looked troubled carrying them.

"jeez baby, that's what it is, so many bags".

"it's alisya's toy, it's her alisya books and these are her alisya's favorite clothes". Alisya shows her bags one by one.

"unfortunately, we have a vacation for only a week and are still in Indonesia. If alisya needs toys or books, we can buy there baby.

"yes dear, really what you say. don't need to bring a lot of stuff like that". said mas bram with breakfast.

"so, all this in staying?". alisya looks manyun because her luggage can not be brought.

"iya dong dear, mother will have prepared her brow clothes in the suitcase". I showed the pink suitcase in the corner of the room.

"yes. mother". alisya walked to the dining table with a pouting face.

"don't manyun it dong darling, later ugly loh mother's child" I serve bread on the plate alisya.

"let's eat breakfast, we go directly to the airport.

"yes pa". replied alisya.

"the suitcase has been put all in the car sir?". I asked Mr. Ahmad.

"it's non, everything is in the trunk of the car". replied Mr. Ahmad.

"alright, thank you sir". I headed to the car to double-check that no one was left behind.

"all my dear". mas bram approached me.

"is it over, Alisya?".

"already, he again to the bathroom.let's get in the car". said mas bram while opening the car door.

"mother, wait". alisya is seen running from inside the house.

"below baby, don't run around". I opened the door for alisya.

"bi, we go first yeah". I say goodbye to bi nina.

"yes, be careful on the road".

"iya bi".I waved at bi nina.

"let's go, sir, we're leaving". said mas bram.

"well sir".

the journey from home to the airport took 30 minutes.along the way in the car, alisya looked so happy.he continued to hum merrily and make us happy too.

this holiday really makes me happy, because so many years I became the wife of mas bram, only this time mas bram really has a long holiday.

I felt real joy as we took the time to do the most fun thing in our lives.

we arrived at the airport at 10:09 a.m., there was not much time left for us to do anything else.so that we immediately checked in and checked the plane tickets.

****

Balinese....

Within two hours we arrived at Airport Bali, at that time we were greeted by several people from the Hotel where we stayed.

"good afternoon, Mr. Bram". said one of the hotel employees.

"at noon".after answering mas bram immediately got into the car.

some other employees were seen cleaning the suitcase and putting it in the trunk of the car.

"papa, alisya is hungry". Alisya holds his stomach.

"yes, dear, we will arrive at our hotel for lunch. alisya want to eat what?". asked mas bram.

"what aja pa". alisya looks already can not resist his hunger.

"patience baby".I stroked his head.

"what's the distance from the hotel?".

"no, baby, just 15 minutes from the airport". replied mas bram while playing his iPad.

obviously, bram understood the route, because the hotel we were going to live in was one of its property subsidiaries.

"alisya seneng??". I saw alisya who kept smiling.

alisya just nodded her head while smiling sweetly at me. Quality time with the people you love is more meaningful, and can improve deeper relationships.

"honey". mas bram called me softly.

"honey, why are you?". mas bram found me daydreaming.

"ahh.. what is mas?". I asked confused.

"what are you daydreaming about?  you sick?". mas bram examined my forehead.

"no, I'm fine".I replied with a smile.

"but you look a little pale darling.do you need us to go to the hospital to check?". mas bram looks worried about me.

"don't worry, I'm really fine". I tried to smile broadly in front of the bram.

two days earlier, I had a headache and a fever, but I tried not to feel the pain, because I did not want to cancel my vacation just because I was sick.

when he arrived at the hotel, mas bram took my hand and alisya.he immediately invited us to lunch at the restaurant that was in the hotel.

"loh, where are we going?".

"we'll have lunch, baby".

when we entered the restaurant, all the staff and restaurant employees welcomed us. They all looked a bit down their heads when we entered.

"welcome sir". said one of the staff who is the restaurant manager.

"what's ready everything I ordered".

"already sir, let me drive you".

we followed the restaurant manager's steps, he showed us what we would put in for lunch.

after lunch, alisya ran towards the beach and he played with his excitement.At times his alisya splashed water at us.

"hahahaha don't love".I brushed off the splash of sea water with my hand.

"ayo mother chase alisya". alisya ran on the beach with her cheerful laughter.

"wahhh.. beware if caught with mother". I also ran after alisya.

mas Bram who stood watching our behavior also laughed, seeing me and alisya running after each other.

"papa, look. wow the beach is so beautiful.ayoo play with us". Alisya looks very happy.

"you are happy dear". said mas bram to alisya.

"very happy papa". alisya twirled his body on the white sand of the beach.

"you really prepared this holiday well mas.

"yes dong, not necessarily we can vacation like this every month.it's all to make up for my guilt for having made you wait this long for the holidays". mas Bram embraced me while staring at the beautiful beach with its sea of blue.

"you don't have to feel guilty, without the holidays I also feel happy if while still with you.

the murmur of the waves sounded very soothing and it made my mind drift so deep. the sea breeze blew that also hit my smiling happy face.

"are you happy baby?". Mas bram's hand caressed my face

"very mas, I'm very happy".I replied by peeping mas bram's cheek.

"hmm, I hope we'll be together forever.until we actually witness alisya getting married to a nice guy.

"hhh what the hell mas, alisya is still a child yes. I do not want her to quickly get married. I have not been able to part with her mas mas mas.

"dear I, too, I don't want alisya to get married quickly, but someday it will happen, and we both live our old days together.

imagining the words of mas bram alone has made me shiver. that we will not continue on the road that is now, the reality is there are still other paths that we must explore.

the sun slowly begins to set at the end of the ocean.The orange-colored light changes the atmosphere of the beach to be very romantic.

so many tourists who love on each side of the beach.

"I Love You dear". suddenly mas bram kissed my lips.

I was shocked and my eyes widened in shock because mas bram suddenly kissed me.

"mas, shame ah". I covered my face.

"why shame dear, you look around us, they all kiss with their respective partners". mas bram held my face with both of his warm hands.

"remain ashamed.

"hahhahaa you are so funny dear". mas bram kissed my forehead.

mas bram and I watched the sunset on the beach by sitting while hugging. alisya who is still seen playing with the waves of the sea perfect the atmosphere that afternoon.

"huhhhhhhhhhh.... ". alisya approached us with breath gasping.

"why dear.

"alisya tired mother". she replied with a sweet smile.

"have you finished playing? want to go back to the hotel?". asked mas bram.

"iyaa pa". alisya nodded her head.

after being satisfied playing on the beach, we went back to the hotel to clean up. The first day of the vacation had made me very happy.

due to the fatigue, Alisya fell asleep, so I did not have the heart to wake her up.

"alisya sleep mas, how dong? we're going to have dinner".I'm sitting next to his brow while stroking his head.

"yes let it go, baby, let him rest.we'll have dinner together.

"alright mas". I immediately picked up my bag and went to dinner.

we both enjoyed dinner while looking at the beach which was lit by the night lights.

"we are like a honeymoon again, baby". said mas bram.

"yes, when you're both like this, it makes me tick and we're like newlyweds.

mas bram grasped my hand while smiling sweetly at me. The smile that made my heart beat fast and blushed in shame.

"excuse me sir, here's the desert".a waiter delivers a sealed dining area.

"loh, how come it's just one baby. You don't eat the desert?". mas bram looks confused.

"no, that's for you. open it up".

mas bram curiously opened slowly the lid of the food, his face looked surprised and could not believe what he saw.

"congratulations, you'll be a father". mas bram read an inscription behind the lid.

"honey, is this really?". mas bram still does not believe what he read.

bram continued to open a small box containing a testpack showing line two, that I was positively pregnant.

"honey". mas bram can not hide his happiness.

"yes mas". I nodded my head indicating that it was all true.

mas bram immediately hugged me tightly, his tears falling down his cheeks.

"i'm so happy, baby. I'm happy, really love you". mas bram repeatedly kissed my forehead.

"it's a gift for you mas, I hope we can both take care of it.

"definitely baby, I'll take care of our baby. I won't let him leave us again".

we were washed away by the happy atmosphere, this is the surprise I prepared for mas bram.a great gift that will color our lives in the future.

the 6-year journey through domestic life, filled with trials and fights, made our love even greater.

how lucky I am to have such a great and responsible husband, a husband who has always loved me with all his heart.

"thank you my husband, thanks to your Love and love we can keep walking on the flowery and beautiful path.Please stay with me until our hair bleaches and ages. I hope we stay together until the end of our lives, hold my hand tightly and I will follow your every step wherever you go. Love you's.. Love you's.. Love you so much my husband".

I left a small note for mas bram to express my love for him.
