I was silent for a moment hearing Baruna's question. The thought of having a child of any gender never occurred to me. Um, but men can too. The second child will be a girl. Like me and Reza. He has an older brother who cares deeply about his sister.
His palms were still stroking my flat stomach. He gave a small smile. "So, what's the answer?" ask my husband again.
"Male," I said with a smile.
"Why?" Baruna asked back.
"I want him to be like Brother Reza who will love and protect his little sister."
"Not like me?" Baruna looks objected. "Surely mine, when you want our son to be like Reza?" My man's lips are pursed. His hands started guerrilla exploring my body again. This time not because I want to make love again, but more because I want to tickle my body.
I laughed amusedly. Trying to get back at him worse. Getting a great attack, Baruna laughed out loud. I was so excited, tickling him that my body rolled over on top of his body. Instantly, our netra looked at each other.
I held my body up above his body. Baruna finally stopped her laughter. Looking at me with a serious look.
"Are you teasing me now, Sher? Still want to add?"
My face is red. Staring at him with a perfect smile. "We just did. Are you still strong?"
"Why not?" he said, directly wrapping his hands around my waist. Instantly, the body fell into his warm embrace.
Baruna didn't seem to want to waste an opportunity. He grabbed my lips until we kissed again. It was so warm that we felt a warm feeling in our hearts. Continuing endless love sessions.

Three days later, Male City ….
My husband and I walked leisurely to the traditional market of the Maldives island capital. We will buy souvenirs and various items as our souvenirs for families in Jakarta. Tomorrow is the day of our return. Baruna couldn't leave the Asyraf Corporation for too long.
Just last night, Anton's father called him to discuss the work that awaits Baruna at the company. Tell us to accelerate the return to Jakarta as planned should be home in three days. However, he insisted on forcing us to abandon the plan.
It's been a long time that Anton's father left the company because he had to focus on healing injuries due to an accident a few months ago, so Dad was forced to ask Reynand who replaced him for a while. Yeah, he again. I don't know if there's him how Anton's father got help running his business. Thanks again, Rey.
I took a deep breath, then threw it away slowly. I've been doing that since then. How not? I was so upset when I found out tomorrow was the day of our return. Even if I don't like it, I have to obey it and understand it.
"What's wrong with you, honey?" asked Baruna suddenly. It seemed like he saw me continue to sigh deeply, knowing that something was stirring in his mind.
I stopped my steps. Looking at him with bad face water. "I still want to be here, honey," I said as I stomped my feet like a sulking child.
Baruna looked at me pity. He took a deep breath and asked me to sit on a bench in the park not far from our position.
"Then, do I have to refuse Dad's orders?" tanyakanya.
I'm speechless. Can't answer. The responsibility carried by my husband is not messing around in the company. I should have understood what happened, but why is it so hard?
"Why silence? Should I call Reynand to replace my responsibilities again?"
Hearing him mention his stepbrother's name made me instantly prevent him from doing that. "No. Don't involve him anymore. Later his mother will protest and our family will be his moons!" my yelling.
Really am! Aunt Aina is so scary. Staring at his eyes personally with him alone would make this entire body tremble uncharacteristically.
Baruna chuckles. "Sounds like you're so scared of Aunt Aina?" he said in his laughter. "He's not a monster that eats human flesh. Just an ordinary mother."
"N-no! I'm not scared!" I argue with a red face. "But, he …." I am not continuing my words.
"Lu-forget it!" sahutku. Hurry up from my seat and walk away from my beloved.
"Hey!"
I didn't heed Baruna's call. This shame cannot be shown to him again. However, my hand felt pulled so firmly that it flipped to look at his handsome face.
"Don't remember the past, dear. Aunt Aina is very good now," he said back to defend his aunt meeting gedenya.
"You defended him constantly. The view towards someone is hard to change to know!" my protest.
"But you managed to change your view of Rey, even though she was once evil to our relationship. It means you can change your outlook on his mother" my husband said, not to be outdone.
"That's different."
"What difference? I don't know. You never told me about what Aunt Aina did to you just yet."
I sighed softly. Maybe my views are wrong and exaggerated. Her name is a mother who wants the best for her son. Back then I was too afraid of facing Aunt Aina to the point that she continued to be a horror figure in memory.
"Haish! It's already! Don't discuss. We'll buy souvenirs. Why even talk about the Pradipta family?"
"Yes too, yes ...," Baruna scratched her non-itchy head. "Come on!" His heavy hand held my wrist again. We also walked into a market that sold various kinds of souvenirs in that place.
We bought all kinds of stuff there. Walking together hand in hand. However, all of a sudden, Baruna took her hand off me.
"Darling, my stomach is heartburn. I'll go to the toilet first. You wait here, yes," said Baruna, wiping her stomach.
"Yes, honey," I said.
Baruna left me. I breathe out slowly. Walk around and spread your eyes around. The atmosphere of the market is very crowded. Although not the holiday season, it seems like this market has become a subscription destination for local people and foreign tourists.
A jewelry store that was not far from me came to my attention. Unknowingly, I walked towards the store. Various unique trinkets of women's jewelry are displayed there. Like a strong hypnotist, I began to try various forms of jewelry there.
Half an hour later, I was very satisfied to see a small paper bag containing the jewelry I wanted. However, when I was about to step my legs back, I gasped in shock looking around.
This where is it? my heart, which knows no place.
My eyes rolled around again. Every shop in the place looked the same. I forgot where the last time Baruna and I were apart was. Panic, of course.
Oh, My God! Relax, Sheryl. At times like this, you have to think clearly. The cellphone! Yes, I'll call my husband.
Immediately, kurogoh a small sling bag attached to the shoulder. Instantly, the face paled. My phone was left in the hotel room.
When I was ready to step foot, the dress I wore was suddenly pulled many times. Immediately, I looked to the side. Suddenly gasped to see a boy about four to five years old with a height of a hundred centimeters crying, calling his mother's name.
"Mrs ...Mamma!"
