The Fate Or Destiny
Eps Bonus. Don't Expect Too Much
Entering the four months of marriage. Due to work, Ben and Keke end up living apart. Every month Ben takes three or four days home. Although not very accepting of the situation, inevitably Keke must tolerate, succumb and try to understand.
📱
“Rens... I can't go home this time..”.
“Why?”
“There, little problem here..”.
“What problems?”
“There are some things... I try to go home later..”.
.
Keke scrunched his forehead, his dearest husband had hung up the phone. What the hell is going on? Where gentle, longing and affectionate words usually adorn their long-distance conversations for hours. Two weeks Ben there is no initiative to call, Keke who called, but still meningan because it can still let go of longing for approximately 30 minutes to tell the busyness of each. But in this week, when answering the call husband is always in a hurry, memorable do not want to be disturbed and last call was, just a piece of news that Keke did not want, the phone has been turned off.
Keke became irritated so early, the mood to work on automatic orders so destroyed. Keke began to feel neglected, and he did not like this. His intuition began to sense Ben's change since his last short return, just two days. When the two were in the room, Keke who missed the indulgence of the husband had to suppress that desire. Somehow some time later his body missed the touch of the husband, but the husband seems insensitive.
At that time Ben came home but with unusual behavior all day he just fell asleep, watched TV, and communicated potluck with Keke. Even in togetherness they feel different from before, there is no spark of passion or hot bed, no touch and magic strokes that lead Keke to enjoy intimacy, no softness, no softness, there was only one man who did a rushed activity and left the couple in pain and misunderstanding in bed.
“Ike... why?”
Mama Virda climbed from the ground floor to find Keke was breaking down the resentment in his heart by throwing his phone on the single sofa in front of him and the innocent object was reflected off and fell to the floor.
“Ma..”
Keke picked up the object he had just thrown and watched for a moment, aware his actions could be self-harming. Thankfully papa Ramly's cell phone is fine. Keke took off the communication device at the dinner table.
“What's up, Ke... kok hpnya thrown?”
“Ehh.
Keke walked into the children's room, it was time to wake the children to school.
“Via... oh have you taken a shower? Via bangunin Dede too, keep seeing Dede shower yes..he likes to play soap..”.
“Iya mami..”
Keke walked up the stairs about to go downstairs, decided to work on the order, he needed to move his mound because of the husband.
“Ma... please see the kids yes, Ike want to go down.. there are many orders today.”
“Mama has finished printing panada, just stay fried. The lumpia and susen fillings have also been completed. Titin is there too, mama told him to fry the panada. Ike stay for klappertart same cucur..”.
Keke stopped at the mouth of the stairs and turned to look at Mama.
“From what time did you make it?”
“Half five...Ike drink first, all orders for later afternoon right?”
“On the heck that was taken this afternoon.”.
Keke walked back to the dining table, sat there quietly. Mama finished making a glass of milk for herself and a glass of hot chocolate for Keke, thrusting Keke's glass and taking a seat in front of Keke.
“Drink first, To..”
“Still ma...”
A short answer. The mind is still influenced by the husband repeating his bad habits, breaking his own promise not to ignore Keke's feelings when far apart.
“Ke... mama tomorrow to Pondang yes..”.
“…”
“Ike?”
“Ehh? Where are you going?”
“Ke Pondang, tomorrow there is an event. The grave om is finished, the custom there is a thanksgiving event.”…”
“Iya ma..”
Keke replied succinctly, his brain is not fully processing the information of Mama Virda. From the mouth of the stairs, Titin appeared with a cellphone in his hand that was ringing.
“Tante Virda..hpnya sound from earlier, this is no call kayaknya..”.
“Oh... thanks Tin, aunt forgot to bring her hp...”.
Mama Virda answered the phone. Keke just stared at the glass pus in front of him that was still billowing, the smell of chocolate could not arouse his desire to gulp the contents of the glass. Mama's heavy breathing draws her empty mind to reality.
“Ma... from whom? Any problems?”
“It... from his sister om, the grave om is finished, they held a thanksgiving last night..”.
“Loh? Mama don't know anymore?"
“Mama has called Shello several times, he said his show tomorrow.”.
“Ya we have made our own thanks here..”
“No need, Ike. Toch the grave is not here. Mama does not feel good with Ike and Ramly. mama just hitchhiked in this house right..”.
“Mama... don't have that word yes ma.... this house is our house, the house of mama is also..”.
“But... How about Ramly? Since mama lives here she rarely comes.”.
“Papa never problems mama stay here. papa even happy mama with us again.”.
“Good..”.
“Ma... should talk to them directly, they like not to think of mama as the wife of the deceased om..”.
“Iya. Mom was disappointed too, wanted to be angry too. It's not fair to mama, mama toch will only attend the event, not want to do or plan what.”
“Everything, mama no longer need to be in touch with them.”
“Ike, mama used to be like that for years mama's heart was full of bitterness, full of hate, but mama was so lonely. After mama chose to let go of bitter, dissatisfied, unfair treated as om, mama can make peace with the difficult circumstances of mama, mama can calm down. Mama assumed, now God has replaced all that with your presence and acceptance for mama.”
“…”
“We do not need to save angry yes..”
“Solar mom...”
Keke lowered his gaze, still unable to accept the way of thinking mama, like Rommel and like papa Ramly, many times happened and it was still difficult for Keke to apply to him, he said, just accept the treatment of others who are not good. Even for her husband, in her heart began to fester anger for her husband, there began to be negative thoughts tainting her heart.
“Ike yourself why?“
Mama Virda noticed the princess's face romance clearly holding back an emotion.
“Gak papa ma... Ike down ya... mama here aja yes, see the kids want breakfast..”.
Keke answered quietly with a gambled voice as he tried to control his feelings.
Just at the beginning it turns out that marriage is sweet, every moment is so beautiful, so friendly, attentive, as if inseparable. Really this is the most unpleasant part, a reality of the promise of the husband defeated by the busy work.

Sometimes the mind feels empty, lonely and confused, making Keke sad without knowing the reason. At other times his thoughts went in thousands of directions and thousands of prejudices so that nothing rational could be the back of Keke's heart. She no longer contacted her husband this week hoping that the husband who first felt lost his phone then had the initiative, in fact never came the call that she missed. Keke always closes the day, falling asleep with empty hopes, the phone does not ring, while he is reluctant to contact.
“Ike, son..”
The father's warm greeting in the morning when Keke came out of his room. Keke smiled and suddenly the desire of the heart to indulge in the papa. Keke sat next to his papa around the dining table and then his two hands coiled around his waist hugging the papa. The attitude that was immediately responded by Papa Ramly who also wrapped his hands through his son's back gave a hug. In the warmth of Ramly's papa's arms, Keke feels the comfort and peace that has recently disappeared from his soul. Keke pressed his hands together.
“Ike sick?”
“Gak pa... just lemes a few days today..”.
“Don't go down to the kitchen.. danger can woe again..”.
Papa warned, fearing repeated incidents of hot liquid watering.
“Iya pa... Ike rarely cook now..”.
“It should be so, Ike employees have a lot, Ike just monitor their work..”.
“Iya. Papa comes when?”
“Sejam ago.. papa join a car carrying vegetable supplies..”.
“Why not get us Lody?”
“He's busy.. want to get married.”.
“Wah... finally Lody's sister Inge.. Ike is happy for them. Ike help what ya?”
“Later Ike ask yourself to Inge... The children have not woken up?”
“Iya pa.. It's saturday, not school. Papa has breakfast?”
“Not yet, but it looks like it's mama.”.
“Papa and mama... Ike want to..”.
Something flashed quickly in his mind, Keke smiling mysteriously at the papa. Papa Ramly also looked at Keke and the instinct of the man who had a rich experience was able to interpret the contents of his son's mind.
“Not yet you think like that son.”.
“Indeed papa knows what Ike thinks?”
Keke's smile grew wider. Long-time wish, it's okay to have that wish, right?
“Papa knows from Ike expression..”
“Mmhm... not yet the time, but there will be time..?”.
“Do not expect too much, later Ike disappointed..”.
The wise papa's legs, but there's a smile etched in there.
“What is papa's wish equal to Ike?”
“Too early to discuss it Ike... not now..”.
Papa Ramly's answer does not satisfy the mere curiosity of the princess. Papa Ramly catches the twinkle of hope in the eyes of his beloved daughter, but papa is cautious.
“If Ike asks, even though papa doesn't have that wish, can you consider? Ike know, papa hasn't forgotten mama..”.
“Ike... mama is still mourning. Don't bother mommy huh..”
“Ike did not bother mama, Ike just asked this as papa..”.
“Ike pray only the best, only God can love the best path for us..”.
Papa Ramly rubbed his daughter's head and stared with a shady look as usual. Keke can only accept the answer of the father's responsibility. Finally Keke went back into the arms of the father. There is a longing for this comfort from someone else and is treated with the affection of the papa. Somehow Keke became emotional and cried without a sound then in the chest of papa Ramly.
“Why Ike, Ram?”
Mama Virda came up with a plate filled with boiled taro and a small bowl of taboo roa for her ex-husband's breakfast.
“Oh... it's okay.. again miss Ben may...”
Papa Ramly chuckles as he rubs Keke's back and his son does not move in that embrace, Keke pacified his peace with the name of the husband, but mother Virda stares at the scene, they have lost many moments together because of selfishness in the past, now even though conditions change but there is a sense of warmth running through his chest, they can be together in a good relationship that is enough for Mama Virda.
“Breakfast first Ram..”
With one hand Keke wiped away the tears on his cheek removing papa Ramly's embrace reluctantly. Fortunately, my mom and dad did not notice her crying.
“Ike also breakfast. Ike rarely eat these days..”.
“Ike not tasteful ma.. don't know why, like dizziness too. So do not like to smell the smell of cooking so lazy down to the kitchen.”
Mama Virda was suspicious when she observed her son's condition a few weeks ago, the instinct of an experienced woman, began to realize something.
“Ike... Ike may be pregnant..”.
Mama softly said. But Keke was surprised and lost his word. He doesn't realize something that might have happened to him because he was drowning with thoughts about Ben. While papa Ramly watches his son.
“Ike own test only used testpack, generally accurate testpack. After that just check with the obstetrician.”
Mama broke the silence that momentarily created.
“Ike..”
Mama Virda called as she saw Keke who was silent.
“…”
“Nak..”
Papa Ramly's turn, a little worried by the princess' silent reaction.
“Ehh..
“Mama buy testpack yes, mumpung still early in the morning, more accurate in the morning test.”
“Ehh.. yes..”.
“Please one of the employees under aja, honey.. don't you go alone.”
“Iya, Ram..”
Mama answered and passed away. Papa Ramly does not deny there is a beautiful feeling infiltrated now, if Keke is pregnant, he will soon have a grandson. His hand reached for his son's body again.
Some time later…
“How to Ike?”
Papa Ramly immediately asked as Keke appeared in the dining room, impatient to know the result.
“Positive pa, Ike pregnant, Ike want to have a baby..”.
A sense of pleasure and a sense of tightness simultaneously appeared on the surface. Happy that the wishes of both of them will be realized soon. Ben once said he wanted to have a child soon, but Ben wasn't around, didn't want to send word, and it was stifling.
“Thank God..”.
Papa stood up and kissed Keke's forehead. Mama looked on happily, and there were two boys enjoying breakfast there.
“Mami want to have a baby adek?”
Via caught the news this morning.
“Iya.. Via want to have another sister..."
Papa Ramly replied with a smile. Keke headed to the sofa and sat still.
"Yica's baby boy too?"
The little voice then.
"Yes.. Yica's sister too..."
"Where's the baby?"
"In my stomach..." Via explained.
"Where?"
"Still in the belly of the mother, the baby must grow there first after it can be carried new when born..."
Oma tried to explain to the questionable granddaughter on her face who kept looking into Keke's stomach. Although he still did not understand but the face of the little boy looked happy.
"Mommy, Yica borrowed a cell phone..."
"In the room, De..."
The little guy ran to Keke's room, looking for the thing he meant. Soon appeared again while shouting happily at the flat object.
📱
"Yica wants to have a baby..."
"..."
"Still in my pelut..."
"Yes. papi, bye..."
"Dede call who?"
"Yica tell papi..."
Keke smiled wryly brushed aside, not expecting many husbands to respond well to this. He also has no intention of telling, resigned or more precisely stupid times. This should be a happy moment for this couple...
That is, not everything is beautiful.
