Nea thrust a piece of fruit at Cana who directly devoured it. Today they were enjoying time together before the lecturer mom returned to Bandung. The gazebu behind Kana's house became the place they chose. Ken played ball with Mbak Dar. While occasionally approaching Kana to ask to be fed.
"You didn't think of a nanny for Ken, Na?" ask Nea.
"Not thought."
"Yes, he wants to have adek again, bothered to have two toddlers." Unknowingly Nea looked towards Kana's stomach which still looked flat. In Kana's second pregnancy, Kana's stomach was only seen killing at the age of 5 months.
"Truely, Mbok Dar is also already sepuh. Before Brother Ian died I've never nawarin Mbok Dar to nyari temen but he does not want to with the reason still strong handel work itself, eh so the continuity. Ken also loved Mbok Dar." Kana feeds a piece of watermelon into her mouth while watching Mbok Dar patiently babysit Ken.
Mbok Dar is actually a confidant of Rahayu, his former in-laws who was asked to help Kana. A year after Adrian died, Kana left the decision to Mbok Dar whether to return to Rahayu's house or stay with Kana. And Mbok Dar chose to stay on the grounds he could not leave Ken whom he already considers his own grandson, and according to Mbok Dar Ken reminded Adrian.
"I think you're getting pregnant is a bit fussy, huh?" Nea breaks up the reverie of Cana.
"Yes, morning sick. But it's strange to see that Joddy's nausea is gone." And Kana doesn't lie, her nausea and dizziness go away when Kana meets Joddy.
"So he wants to be like his father." Nea saw a red tinge on Cana's cheek. "I didn't know, Na."
Kana turned towards Nea. "What?"
"Sister Joddy, he's really in love with you. I'm the same as Ken." Nea smiled amusedly recalling the conversation Joddy and her father-in-law had yesterday. They always have a way of breaking each other's arguments.
"Well, I can't lie to Nea either. The more I stay away from him, the harder it is to eat." Kana grimaces remembering the long journey of her and Joddy's love story.
"So long he's waiting for you, Na."
Kana nodded then looked towards her late husband's beloved koi fish pond. "Got long. I feel secretly that he always takes care of me. When I'm down he's always there for me, Ne. He has fought for me a lot since. From before I married Ian."
"And now he must fight even harder for Papa's blessing." Kana exhaled loudly.
"You're back at Jogja again?"
"Yes, Papa asked me to come back to Jogja. He said he'd like to teach Joddy a lesson." Kana breathed a heavy sigh.
Nea put her arm around Kana's shoulder. "Remain sure, you can get through this. I'm on your team. Anyway I support you guys up the leash, have a lot of kids and grow old together."
Kana chuckles back at Nea's embrace. "The same prayer for you. May you take care of my brother's absurd behavior."
"About-of-a-kind, your sister's cheeky about it." Nea was moved, she still did not expect to be able to marry her best friend's sister herself. At first, Nea had no feelings for anything but long ago she fell in love too and accepted Kanda's proposal.
"Even if he's annoying sometimes, but for matters of loyalty he's number one!"
"Well, if it is, I believe it. Your brother is also sometimes sweet as sugar but sometimes asem as well as the smell of keteknya," Nea joked, then they both laughed together.
Elsewhere, Kanda, who was drinking a cup of coffee at work, choked and coughed.
The ringing of Kana's cell phone stopped Kana and Nea's laughter." Brother Joddy. "Where shows the phone screen before receiving Joddy's call.
" Yes, Brother. How's it?"
".... "
" Really Brother?! Thank God, Cana go there now! "
Kana closed her conversation with Joddy then looked at Nea who was waiting for her with a frown.
"His mother Brother Joddy is conscious. I'm going to the hospital." Kana smiled as she was.
"Yes already. Yuk, I'll take you."
"No need, please take care of Ken. Mama's back home," pinta Kana. Nea nodded anyway she was lazy to leave the house.
*
Joddy was waiting in the hospital lobby when Kana came. Joddy asks him to tell her that Kana is coming. A sweet smile greeted Kana. "Nyetir himself?" ask Joddy.
Kana nodded and accepted Joddy's hand. "Yes." Yeah."
"Om, you know you're here?"
"Papa's still working."
Joddy grimaced in his heart while praying that Gufron would not go berserk if he knew Kana was here.
"Ken?"
"Sama Nea with Mbok Dar. Aunty's been moved in the nursery?" kana asked with Joddy's broad steps.
"Yes, he's just been checked by a doctor."
"Why do you stay!"
"There's Ferddy." Joddy gestured for Kana to watch her way as Kana was seen on several occasions almost bumping into people who happened to cross paths in the hospital hallway.
"Your mother is your mother." Joddy's happy smile was clear. A moment after awakening, Jihan inexplicably asked Kana. Jihan said she wanted to meet Kana in person. Hearing that, Kana simply commented a smile.
"They're not coming home?" Kana pulls up Joddy's shirt sleeve as soon as she sees two policemen still standing guard.
"Yes, I'm afraid I'll take you to Antarctica." Joddy looks lazy discussing the cop then gently embraces Kana's shoulder and guides her into Jihan's ward.
Kana is a little nervous, the article is the first time Kana faced with Joddy's mother after their circumstances 'improve'.
The doctor was still there when Kana came in, talking seriously with Ferddy. Kana approached the bed where the half-woman was still lying weak. Jihan was still wearing an oxygen hose, her face still looked pale.
"Mom, Kana's coming." Joddy approached Jihan then bowed half in whisper. The middle-aged woman turned to look at Kana then smiled weakly. Kana was a little stunned when she saw that smile. This was the first time Kana saw the sincere smile of Jihan.
"I'll excuse you then. Ma'am Jihan remains upbeat, a lot of rest to get well soon." The doctor told Jihan before saying goodbye to continue her visitation duties, encouraging a smile that Jihan responded to.
"Tante, is it okay?" tanya Kana clasped Jihan's hand free from the infusion needle.
Jihan nodded weakly. "Tante, I'm sorry. Auntie's already hurt Kana." Jihan said softly with a raucous voice."Aunty's already getting punished for what Auntie's done to you."
"Yes, Aunt. I forgive you, Aunt." Kana gently patted the back of Jihan's hand.
"Tante bless you two. Please, take care of Joddy. He's a good kid even if it seems wayward."
Joddy clucked violently when his mother called herself recalcitrant. He's not a wayward kid just a little naughty.
Kana nodded. "Yes, Aunt. Now Aunt just rest. If it's healed, then we can talk together while drinking tea."
Jihan smiled bitterly, even if she recovered. He must return to the bars awaiting the certainty of his law. If with this pain he could breathe fresh air, then he would enjoy this freedom that he had.
"How are you?" Jihan shifted the topic, her eyes staring towards Kana's stomach.
"Take it well." Kana just nodded. Just then a nurse came in.
"I'm sorry, let Ms. Jihan rest first, don't talk too much." The nurse said in a soft tone strangely, her gaze glanced at Ferddy who had been playing mobile in the waiting chair.
"Mom, Joddy's out first. If there's anything tell Ferddy to call Joddy."
Jihan nodded then smiled at Kana saying a word of thanks without a sound. Kana responded with a sweet smile before following Joddy who came out first.
Kana gasps in shock when Joddy kisses her cheek." Sis! Shame on the police!"Kana glares in annoyance.
"Biarin, aja." Joddy turned his head indifferently to the two coolly chatting policemen.
"Thank you." Joddy kissed Kana's cheek again.
"For?"
"For your love."
Kana was stunned then smiled shyly with red cheeks. Joddy likes, likes it.
"Udah ah, I'm going to the toilet." Kana's misbehavior makes Joddy sure that going to the toilet is only Kana's reason to avoid it.
"No documentation?" joddy Goda who managed to make Kana's eyes glare pretty.
Joddy chuckled then chose to raise his hand like someone was giving up. Kana grieves and rushes to the toilet to wash her hands and allow a little makeup.
Kana accidentally chose to go to the toilet a little far from the treated Jihan ward. Downstairs, he wants to buy Ferddy and Joddy some coffee.
Kana rinses her hands and dries with a tissue. She was just about to get out when the door suddenly opened and a woman with a mask covering part of her face went into the toilet.
Kana nodded as a courtesy as she was going to get out of the toilet first . Surprisingly, the woman did not budge she even seemed to deliberately prevent Kana from getting out of the toilet.
"Sorry, I'm going out."
The woman did not flinch and made Kana look at him with concern.he suddenly just opened the hat and mask he was wearing. Kana took a step back in surprise to see the woman's face. Next to the woman's face was still covered with gauze.
No need to wait long to know who that woman is.
"How are you, actor?"
"Sorry, I'm going out." Kana cringed trying to open the door. But the woman got in the way. Pushing Kana away from the door.
"Later when we talk."
"There's nothing to talk about. I have nothing to do with you!"
The woman laughed then folded her hands in front of her chest in a haughty style. "I came here to see if the old woman was alive or finished, but she was still alive. I paid a lot of money to teach him a lesson, but he's still alive. Damn it!"
Kana looked at the woman probing." So you're the one who told people to hurt Auntie Jihan?"
"Smart!"
"Your staff is Barrel!Wicked you!"
Baras smiled cynically. "Nasty did you say? He's the one who made my face deformed!"
"But it is not comparable to you that has seized her husband, destroyed his happiness and taken away his freedom." Kana stared riled at Laras.
"Oh yeah? Know what you are! He killed my son!"
Kana's stunned. "What do you mean?"
"For that old woman I lost a fetus. Because of her I miscarried, you still want to say it's not worth it?"
Kana. So, Laras miscarried?
"But it doesn't matter. After all, in the absence of the baby I was instead free from the old man who had already committed it." Laras laughed and played his well-groomed fingernails.
It is not difficult to guess that the person who Laras meant was Heru.
"What kind of woman are you Baras! You've hurt a lot of people!"
Laras raised his palm gesturing for Kana to be silent. "Silent, I didn't meet you to argue about how evil I was. But I'd like to make you an offer."
Kana frowning. "What offer do you mean?"
Laras approached Kana. "A bargain that would make Joddy happy."
"What?"
"Leave Joddy and I'll drop my demands on his mother."
Kana clenched her hand strong - strong. This woman really has no heart. After taking Jihan's husband he wants Joddy? Exorbitant!
"Forget it. I don't want to! I'm sure there's another way to free Auntie Jihan." Kana took a step back. The feeling is really bad. Suddenly he felt dejavu with this kind of situation.
Kana recalled a few years ago when Susan hurt her.
Nope, no.
This will not happen again, this time Kana will keep her fetus from people trying to hurt her .
"There's no other way Kana. There aren't. Mending you follow my advice. Leave Joddy and I'll set his mother free."
Kana shook her head strongly. "Sorry, I don't want to. So, please step aside."
"It's so arrogant of you!" hardik Laras then suddenly he pulled Kana's bag and threw it somewhere.
Cana retreated away from Laras she tried to get into an empty room but Laras pulled Kana's hand and suddenly pushed Kana until her stomach hit the side of the sink.
Kana fell down, reflexively holding her hand on her stomach which suddenly felt heartburn. Nope, no! Don't again.
"Feel that!" Laras smiled cynically then he left just like that leaving Kana who suddenly felt an excruciating pain in her stomach.
"Please.." Kana's voice felt stuck in her throat. The pain in his stomach was unbearable. Kana tries to reach for the door handle but is locked.
"Argh.. It hurts." Kana painstakingly picks up the phone in her bag trying to contact Joddy.
"Sister.. Please." Please." Suddenly it was all dark but Kana still had a chance to see something flowing at her feet.
