The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 165

Almost all day, Hasna spent time with Mama-in-law as well as her favorite sister-in-law. Starting from shopping for the needs of prospective babies to do treatment in a salon and spa. Things Hasna has almost never done before.

"You better take a break, honey. Let Mama and Nay finish all her groceries." Miss Diana said when they just got home.

"Yes, Ma." Hasna will move, but she will undo her intentions.

"Why? You need anything?" Ask Diana.

"Emmm... Sorry, Ma. Hasna wants to repotin Mama." Say Hasna carefully. Honestly, he also felt bad when he would say it to Mama-in-law.

"Say, what do you need?"

"Sorry, Ma. Baby clothes, can you ask to wash first, right? Hasna is worried because the baby's skin is sensitive. If not washed first, fear even appear rashes fitting in later use." Hasna.

"Oh, what's the matter, what's the matter."

Actually Hasna and Rama had prepared the needs of their future babies at home, and all of them had been washed. But Miss Diana insisted on buying supplies for the Suryanata family's first grandchildren. How could Hasna have rejected it.

"Sir, this is wash please. Don't get in the machine." Miss Diana said to one of the ARTs that helped them carry groceries.

"Good, Mom."

"Ma, Hasna come in first, yeah."

"Yes, Honey. Careful."

"Ivan please arrange the meeting schedule, so that no important meetings are missed. Because next week, I will rarely go to the office. Maybe just until lunch. After that, I'll stay home." Rama said before leaving the office this afternoon.

"Good, Sir. Later I will contact Tania to reschedule Mr. Rama's schedule." Ivan. Rama nodded slowly.

"Sorry, sir, is Miss Hasna time to give birth?" Ivan asked carefully, because Rama was very sensitive if there was a man who asked him something about his wife. Especially himself.

"Yes, two weeks' worth of estimates. Hence, I can't leave my wife for too long."

"Isn't Miss Hasna at my parents' house?"

"Yes, we temporarily stayed there until my wife gave birth."

The two walked up to the lobby, and parted ways there.

***

As always, dinner is warm. The entire Suryanata family was on the dining table.

"Have you arranged a leave schedule?" Ask Mr. Andi.

"Already, Pa. Rama asks Ivan to reschedule an important meeting before Rama starts his leave next week." Answer Rama.

"If there is an urgent meeting, you can trust Ivan. Papa reckon, Ivan is very reliable." Rama agreed.

"Yes, Rama only attended meetings that could not be represented. The rest, Ivan and Tania's handle." Rama.

"Nephew Danu is as reliable as Ivan. He used to work in a big company in the city where he used to live. And now, you're lucky to get a staff like Tania in the office. There must be no need to teach many things, because he himself is very professional when working." Said Mr. Andi. Rama agreed that, as Ivan only gave important points regarding their work, and Tania could easily understand it.

They all had dinner as usual, with occasional small talk. However, there is something unusual about Hasna. The woman seemed more silent than before.

"What's up, honey?" Ask Rama.

"No, nothing." Hasna forced her smile a little.

"Trus? Why not eat? Want me a bribe?" Ask Rama.

During the pregnancy, Rama never asked Hasna to feed him as usual. Because Hasna also had a large portion of food, and Rama wanted the wife to focus on herself and their child in the womb Hasna.

Hasna shook her head slowly and looked at Rama with a stare...

"You want something?" Ask Rama carefully. Can Rama make sure, Hasna will definitely nod enthusiastically. And sure enough, even those round eyes looked sparkling.

"What?" Why Rama was so worried.

"Eater eats shellfish satay with grilled squid." Hasna. Always at the wrong time. But aside from the time Hasna asked for midnight chicken noodles.

Rama glimpsed at his parents who stopped their bribes. Then he looked back at the wife who had put on an innocent face and was hopeful. Look, now it's even raking a few times. If so, how could he possibly refuse Hasna's request.

If only grilled squid, in a seafood restaurant must be a lot. But if satay shells?

"Nay come along." Nayla was excited.

Rama looked at the sister with a full glance. Like something's wrong.

"Come, Ma'am. Later I will tell you where the place that sells the best shellfish and grilled squid." Nayla just grabbed Hasna's arm and took her out first.

"Why?" Asked Diana when her son did not move from his place.

"It looks like Nayla's job." Rama said without further ado.

"Udah, because of Nayla or not, you should follow it. Papa reckon, there's nothing strange in your wife's request." Said Mr. Andi while finishing his dinner with Miss Diana.

"Udah, go there. It's a pity that Hasna is waiting. Hunt down your son." Miss Diana reminded me.

"Rarely, where there's a baby drooling in the womb." Sangkal Rama, then moved from his seat.

"Rama go first, assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam, take care of the car."

And here they are now. At a restaurant on the beach that does sell typical seafood catch. Hasna had ordered some menus that made her drool just by looking at the pictures in the menu book. And so did Nayla. The girl was more enthusiastic than Hasna who was cravings. Do not ask what Rama ordered, even the man did not touch the menu book to order something. Because according to previous experience, he was part of the task to spend Hasna food later. And Rama did not want if the story of Mr. Somad with his wife repeated versions of himself with Hasna.

"Sister Rama didn't order?" Tanya Nayla who had noticed that her older brother had not said anything as she and Hasna chose the menu.

Rama simply shook his head and refocused on the phone in his hand. Until the order came, Rama remained in his position.

Rama only pay attention to the voraciousness of the wife while enjoying a variety of seafood choices. Until the moment of his turn gets the opportunity to spend Hasna food as before. True what the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Also the most valuable.

Rama scratched his non-itchy temple. Just looking at the food in front of him alone had already made him truly feel full. Bamboo shell, grilled squid, honey-baked fish, and sweet sour crab. Everything Hasna ate, but just to taste it. Even the food he had asked for was only half eaten.

Nayla looked at the brother sitting between herself and Hasna. The girl understood why Rama had not ordered any food. Because in the end, it was Rama who consumed all the food that Hasna ordered.

"Sir Rama, are you okay?" Nayla looked at her brother with concern. Although Rama is male, but the portion of the meal is not that much.

"Not ask brother okay. It's all because of you." Grouser Rama. Luckily, Hasna went to the toilet. If not, then,

"Sorry, I don't know if the end will be like this. Though I was the same Ma'am Hasna just saw a video review kulineran. Not really wanting to. But why does it look like a real review?" Nayla feels a little bit wrong.

Rama began to eat the food Hasna ordered. Fortunately, the rice was just a plate and was exhausted by Hasna. Otherwise, it could explode its stomach in place.

"Sister Rama has never before been a gini? How do you seem to anticipate first?" Tanya Nayla who had finished finishing her meal.

Rama nodded in between his mouth.

"Seriously?" Nayla seems to be in disbelief, as Hasna never had a cravings for nearly nine months of her pregnancy.

"Yes, even almost one in the morning, you asked your beloved sister-in-law to spend a serving of chicken noodle jumbo." Nayla opened her mouth when she heard Rama's short story. That many?

"Sir Rama is serious?" Nayla asked in disbelief.

"Did you look like you were lying?"

"Then why don't you refuse? Blind morning eating noodles? Ohemji, I could throw up if I." Nayla shook her head slowly, as if imagining herself experiencing the thing Rama was telling her about.

"You know for yourself how big brother can't refuse Hasna's request. Especially with such a hopeful look. And fortunately, Brother had not had time to eat dinner, otherwise you could faint Brother here because of the satiety." Kekeh Rama's.

Yes, Nayla really understands how Rama treats his wife. Hasna never asked for anything strange during pregnancy. But once he asked, he made her shake her head.

"Don't you think a pregnant woman's request is always strange?" Nayla murmured which Rama could still hear clearly.

"Eat him, don't ask for anything weird tomorrow if you're pregnant. Now you know how a husband struggles to please his pregnant wife? Especially if the cravings are midnight, can be our early sahur." Said Rama, accompanied by mild rarity.

"Don't be surprised, if we husbands have a distended stomach like a pregnant wife. Because yes this is our fate, spending the rest of the wife's food. It used to be six pack now six month." Nayla giggled amusedly hearing that. Rama could have likened the fate of his stomach.

True what Rama said, he saw it for himself. How his brother spent food that was not his portion. Especially if it is not a favorite food, certainly will not be able to enjoy the food.
