They both remained silent until they got home. Nurmala rushed into the room, Aldi resting his body on a middle-space mattress with arms covering his head. Sometimes he breathes his weight.
Nurmala was lying on the bed, her eyes staring at the empty ceiling of the room as empty as her heart hoped to hold a baby soon.
Ting.ting...
nurmala's phone shook in a bag lying on the table. Lazily he got up.
"Yes Niha?"
Hearing her phone answered by Nurmala, Nihaya asked a question.
"I can't tell you anything right now Niha, it hurts!" Nurmala hung up the phone, and went back to bed.

At Samsudin's house, Samira looks restless, sitting in front of the TV wrong, entering the room is also uncomfortable. Many times he turned on his phone but then shut it back down.
"Not usually you like this, what's the matter?" Samsudin was astonished to see his wife's behavior.
"I'm worried about Nurmala sir!"
"Call it, what's the trouble?"
"It's late sir, afraid of being disturbed!"
"Hemmh, whatever it is, I'm sleepy!" Samsudin laid his body, Samira actually came out of his room. Samsudin did not open his eyes.
"Oh my God, help my son, open her husband's heart to forgive" Samira prostrated herself with tears.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullah" sat down to end the prayer.
"Gustii, forgive this servant of yours, I lied with good intentions, not one bit to lie to them, but I admit my way was wrong Gusti. You are forgiving, merciful nothing is impossible for you, if I may ask, I just want my son's family to be happy, that's all!" A moment Samira was silent then closed her prayer and went out into the room.

Aldi sat quietly in the living room, while Nurmala was on her bed.
Tok.dok. Aldi knocked on the door of the room, without waiting for Nurmala's permission he immediately opened the door, then sat down beside Nurmala, gently hugging his wife's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Akang Nur!" said Aldi softly. Nurmala was unable to answer anything, only smiling but her tears were pouring down.
"Will Akang leave Nur?"
"Why are you asking that Nur?"
"Nurmala, my dear.I promised myself you were the only woman who stood by me until death picked me up" Aldi's embrace grew stronger. Nurmala buried her face in Aldi's chest and drowned in her tears.
"I don't care anymore about the offspring, if indeed God gave his destiny like this I resigned" Inner Aldi while embracing his wife's body.

"This isn't a scam, is it, Doctor?!" Aldi was surprised to hear the words of the Doctor.
"Look at Mr. Aldi on the screen, there's a little creature living in your wife's womb!"
"Ooh my God, is this a miracle?? Nuuur, am I dreaming? pinch me Nur!"
Nurmala smiled amusedly at the behavior of her husband who was very happy and confused in disbelief. He did not expect anything precisely at the age of marriage 20 years God gave the prospective baby tiny in the womb Nurmala.
"Take care of your wife Mr. Aldi!"
"Of course, doctor!"
"I'm prescribing vitamins for your wife's health, please take them at the pharmacy!"
Aldi rushed to receive the piece of paper from the doctor's hand.
"Wait for Nur, don't move much!" aldi said as Nurmala got out of bed. The doctor smiled to see the man in front of him so swiftly stood holding his wife down from the bed.
"Well, shame Kang! Nurmala is okay!"
"Just relax Miss Nurmala, be happy you have a husband like Mr. Aldi.
