"I swear, this salad really is really seger. That's why I always take it for me." Marissa said in the middle. Even the mayonnaise sauce mixed with the milk was heavily stuck around his lips.
"Oh, huh? if it's spent, let me feel healthier." Siska.
And Marissa greedily finished the salad that Siska had brought her.
Siska opened the bottle of drink she had bought. The woman quietly watched her best friend who was still greedily finishing the half-living salad.
Marissa put down a salad that was only a few spoons away. The woman felt a little dizzy. Marissa took out a piece of tissue to clean up the food marks stuck around her mouth.
"Sa, why are you?" Ask Siska who put her drink back on the dining table.
"Not knowing me. All of a sudden, my head feels dizzy." Marissa kneaded her temple plan.
"Gue grab a drink, yeah." Tawar Siska ya g answered a nod by Marissa.
Siska puts a glass of water on Marissa. The woman drank it straight to the toilet.
"Lo smitten times, Sa. Pregnant women should not be too tired, or too stressed." Siska.
"Yes, yeah. Lately I've been thinking about the child in my womb. Rama knew everything, and did not want to admit this child. I don't want to have a child without a father." The woman's face changed.
"Sa, I'm just giving you the same advice. If you don't accept it, that's okay. But I guess, this is the only way to_"
"Gue has said it many times the same, lo. I will never accept Tomi as the father of this child." Marissa said with emotion.
"Sa, listen first. I mean, you could have received Tomi for some time until this boy was born. Only after that, it's up to you. How do you want. You do not want it, if this child does not have clarity status at birth later?" Siska is still trying to convince Marissa. Wishing his best friend could forget Rama.
"Oh my God, forgive me. It's not that I'm asking Marissa to play with the sacred bond of marriage. But this is the only way that comes to mind. If Marissa had accepted Tomi, then Marisa would have accepted the real father of her baby over time. And forget Rama who is clearly the husband of another woman."
"I mean, lo?"
"I mean, you just need to get married to Tomi for a while. Until this child is born. It's up to ko later. You want to marry betel or recorded in civil records, it's up to you. Just until you're the lahiran." Siska.
It seems that Marissa is considering the advice of her best friend.
"Ntar, I thought about it. I can't suddenly take Tomi for granted. I'll try to melt Rama's heart first." Apparently Marissa is still adamant with her stance.
Siska forced a smile upon hearing Marissa's words. In her eyes, Marissa was foolish to waste a truly sincere man accepting her, in pursuit of a man who had clearly rejected her.
Marissa again pinched her throbbing head back.
"It's better to rest. I'm anther to the room, yeah." Marissa nodded in agreement.
Siska helps Marissa to stand up and deliver her to the room.
"Lo rest, I'm up front." Marissa just nodded small.
"Sis, Rama's wedding date isn't today, is it?" Marissa asked Siska who was on the doorstep.
"Gue doesn't know, Sa. Because it just so happens that attending is only my boss and his assistant doang." Marissa gave a small nod and rounded her lips.
"Udah lo rest. I'll go out first."
Siska went out and closed the door to Marissa's room. The woman with the shoulder-length hair typed a message for Tomi.
~Tom, you don't want to see your child? If so, I'm waiting at Marissa's house now.~ Siska.
Before long, his chat message had changed blue tick. The sign was read by Tomi. Even the man was typing a reply to his message.
~Mean, lo?~ tomi.
~Gue has been mixing sleeping pills with Marissa's food. In a moment, he must have fallen asleep.~ Siska.
~Cotton to sleep? Lo don't be crazy. It could endanger my son.~ Tomi.
~Lo is calm. I have consulted with the doctor before. And the cure was obstetrician Marissa herself who gave it. So I think everything's safe.~ Siska.
~Thank God then.~ Tomi.
~But it's really safe, right?~ Tomi.
~Aman, I told you that Marissa often had insomnia during pregnancy. So the doctor gives a dose that suits your needs.~ Siska.
~Oke, wait for me. I'll be right there.~ Tomi.
~Cie the aura of a prospective father, who always worried about the child in the womb of his wife.~ Siska.
~Ups..I mean, candidate. If Marissa wants to.~ Siska. His message this time was accompanied by a row of emoticons laughing widely.
~Gue never expected Marissa to accept me. I just want custody of the child in Marissa's womb. Because it's my flesh blood." Tom.
Siska went back to check on Marissa's condition in the room. As expected, the pregnant woman is sleeping now.

Tok, tock, tock
Siska immediately moved and headed for the front door. Apparently Tomi. The man was up to fifteen minutes faster than usual.
"Lake in." Siska closed the door again.
"Marissa is in her room." Tomi simply nodded and headed straight to Marissa's room.
Entering the same room makes Tomi feel Dejavu with the incident four months ago. Where he and Marissa did things they shouldn't. And the fruit of that error, now Marissa is bearing her seed.
Tomi walked closer to Marissa who was sleeping with peace. That pretty face looks calm. Tomi notices that Marissa's body is getting fuller. And Tomi hope that the child in the womb will be healthier.
Unknowingly the man pulled both corners of his lips. Tomi slowly sits on the edge of the bed, keeping it from causing any movement that may interfere with Marissa later.
In his face, Marissa's stomach is already seen bulging it. With a position lying down like this mound of the woman's stomach was clearly visible. Tomi's hand stretched out with a tremble touching Marissa's belly. He rubbed slowly, as if he was caressing a baby who was sound asleep.
"Honey, this is Papa, son. You are healthy there. Don't be naughty, pity your Mama." He said with a hand that kept caressing that belly.
"Papa's prayers, may Papa always be able to accompany you, until you grow up." It did not feel that the clear melt was forcibly breaking through from both corners of his eyes.
Long enough the hand stayed on the stomach of Marissa who was still asleep. Occasionally kissed and rubbed gently.
"Darling, don't make Mama sad. You're a strong boy. You're a great Papa's son. You.you..." Tomi has no power to hold back her tears.
His feelings are mixed now. Happy, sad and disappointed. In the deepest corner of her heart, Tomi still hopes to raise her child with Marissa later. He doesn't even care about love for her anymore. But the affection of both parents for their future children.
Tomi's hand is still faithful on Marissa's belly. The man put his head on the edge of the bed. Occasionally he gently rubbed Marissa's distended stomach. Unexpectedly before, his hand felt a small twitch in his hand.
Tomi's reflexes raised her head and smiled looking at her hands.
"Did you do it, son?" Tomi smiled in the midst of her happy tears.
"It's always healthy in there, Papa will miss you so much, and look forward to your presence, son." Tomi rubbed back and kissed the stomach gently, before she finally came out leaving Marissa alone in the room.
Tomi again closed the door and approached Siska who was watching television while enjoying a snack. The man slammed his body right in front of his best friend during the lecture.
"Udah?" Siska takes her eyes off the television on Tomi.
"Udah. Thanks a lot, Sis. I have given you the opportunity to meet my son. I no longer know how.gue reveals how I feel right now. I'm really, really happy. I can touch my future son who is still in Marissa's womb." Back, the clear circle forcefully broke through both corners of Tomi's eyes.
Netra Siska also condensed watching Tomi shed tears. For eight years knowing Tomi, Siska had just witnessed the man shed tears. And Siska was sure not tears of sorrow, but tears of happiness.
"Gue was impatient, wanting to carry her with both hands." Tomi raised both her hands with a tremble.
"Lo tau, I was wearing some kind of twitch from Marissa's stomach. Is that my son's kick?" Siska nodded confirming Tomi's words.
"Yes, you're right. Control yesterday, I'm the nemenin. The doctor said, at the age of Marissa's pregnancy which is almost eighteen weeks, has begun to feel twitches. And it's probably your son's move." Obviously Siska.
Tomi scooped her face, trying to get rid of the tears that came back, but could not. The clear circles are still forcing it to come out. All his life, he had never felt this happy. Tomi hopes, hopefully he can get another chance to be able to caress the prospective baby.
For a long time the two fell silent, until Siska re-opened her voice.
"Tom, mafin me, huh?" Tomi frowned.
"Make?"
"Emmm... You know that I never liked Marissa's actions?" Tomi nodded, because the man knew how Siska opposed Marissa's reckless deeds.
"Gue was perfect, if lo and Marissa had better get married." Lirih Siska at the end of her sentence. Tomi breathed a quick sigh hearing it. The man knew what answer Marissa had given the woman before him this time.
"Gue said that you should get married to get a clear status over your child. And.gue nyaranin, make marriage while the same lo. Until this child is born." Siska felt guilty.
Tomi squeaked her temple which felt pulsating. Married until their child is born? That is not a good idea, because after all their children need a complete parent figure to accompany their growth and development. And again, even though Tomi is not a religious person, but the man never intended to play with marriage.
"Lo don't misunderstand me first. I just hope Marissa will really accept and love you as time goes on. I love Marissa, I don't want her to go the wrong way again." Siska.
As they know, Marissa lives alone in this town. His mother had died since he had been sitting on the first middle bench. And his father died shortly after he finished his undergraduate education. Marissa has an older sister who is married and lives in another city with her husband's family. For a long time, they never communicated again.
"Lo know, Sis? I didn't even expect Marissa to love me again. Now my biggest wish is just a kid in Marissa's womb. I want to take custody of the child after birth. Because I know, Marissa would never want to take care of my son. He maintains his content only to trap Rama. That's why I ask for help lo, so you can watch every movement so as not to harm the content." Tomi.
Siska confirmed Tomi's words, because it was not just her, the man who wanted Marissa to keep her content.
