"Continue home?" Regan grabbed the bag of crackles in Nania's hand and rolled it as usual. Which he then put into the dashboard drawer where the same crackle is located.

They were in the park this time in the city where the last one was distributing food to the children as Nania always did every day.

"It's going somewhere else first." The woman got into the car after Regan opened the door. 

"Where?" The driver turned his head after he was behind the wheel while turning on the engine.

"Meet mother."

"No way." Then Regan immediately turned around and drove the car he was driving fast.

"Come on, just a second. Just wanna see mom."

"Negative."

"Just want to know the state of the mother, because she has not told you."

"It can't be. It's my job to take you to school or to the reading house. Then to a place where it's possible and safe, but not to your mother's."

"Where is my mom safe?" Nania leaned her body.

"Not for you."

"Can you call your friends like that?"

"Stay with it."

"I'm sure no one would dare to mess with that?" Nania continued to persuade the man.

"The thing is I'm not allowed to take you there especially without Mr. Daryl. It's against the rules."

"I won't say."

Regan laughs.

"Laughs?"

"Who do you think your husband is? Only the owner of his mother's company knows nothing? Although he is not in the Nikolai Group but his power is the same as Mr. Dimitri." 

"And if no one reported, he wouldn't know?"

"And you think, we're ordinary employees who only do regular orders?" Regan glanced at Nania through the rearview mirror.

"Yes what else?"

"You're wrong, Miss. We are working like private detectives, standing guard like soldiers and performing executive duties in general. So you're wrong if our job is that light. And have the same risk as the life we have."

"A heavy time?"

"Just try if I break Mr. Daryl's rules now, and your husband knows, what would he do?"

"Yes angry, what else?"

"Other angry?"

"You fired?"

"What else?"

"What else? Time chastened ... uh .. ever?" Nania recalls some of the events when Regan failed to complete the mission and she got a pretty hard hit from her husband.

"So much worse than that."

"Fired?" 

"If you quit Nikolai Group for a bad reason, then you will not be accepted anywhere else. Even small companies."

"Times?"

"You know, out there thousands of people are competing to get into this company even though they do not know where they will be placed and work as what. High School graduates to undergraduates queue up every year in recruitment to realize their expectations even though there is no shadow at all about what they will do. Just getting into this company has become their way of realizing the dream. So if anyone suddenly goes out and moves jobs let alone gets fired, it's definitely because he's a lousy worker."

"Duh? Time that far?" Nania doesn't believe it.

"How do you think this company belongs to your in-laws? Ordinary company? Nope. And that's why my grandmother kept working until the age of twilight because she could support our family and help my school to graduate college without being bothered by cost issues. Everyone gets the same chance as long as they're willing to fight."

"So can't ya?"

"It certainly can't, especially under my supervision. Twice I failed to take care of you and if this one fails again, then not only will you be Mr. Daryl brackets forever, but my safety and my future as well."

Nania put her back on the back of the chair. There is no gap to this one, and Regan is unlikely to be able to compromise.

"But my mother …."

"Didn't Miss Mirna have said she'd call you if she made her decision? And this is only one day. Maybe she needs more time to think, or to make her husband content to torture one last time before parting ways?" regan's speech sounded cynical.

"You don't talk about it, do I just happen to be overthinking?" But Nania immediately protested.

"Yes, actually so your mother was very easy. He just stayed according to what you said for his own good without having to think again. And his life will be fine. He returned home and whatever was needed was definitely obtained. Everything was safe without worry because security was definitely deployed to guard it."

"Times?"

"She's your mother, and you want her safety. Then it's Mr. Daryl's responsibility to keep him through us, so it's definitely going to be done."

"Masa? My husband said that, right? She hates mom."

"Hate does not mean not care. However, Miss Mirna is your mother, while Mr. Daryl loves you very much. Then he'll look after anyone he thinks means anything to you. And for us, that old man means a lot, doesn't he?"

Nania speechless.

"Maybe your husband's disposition is harsh, and he is honest in every way especially when it comes to his feelings. He will not pretend to be kind to anyone he does not like, especially if that person has wronged him. Moreover, he knew your family had hurt you so badly. And I don't think you'll ever forget how they treated you while you were there. But family is family, right? No matter how angry, your love is still greater than hatred. And that's human nature, even though in reality not everyone is."

"And for some reason, Mr. Daryl can't be compromised, especially about your safety and that of his son. If that happens, we don't know what kind of apocalypse might come after."

"Your mouthpiece is wearing the doomsday of all?" Nania with a look of dislike.

"It was to describe what would have happened if something had happened to you."

"Yes it won't. Will you take care of me?"

"Also if you do not obey and are difficult to manage everything is difficult to do. So I beg you, obey because this is not only for you but for us as well."

Nania chuckles.

"Yes, Om Regan!" The woman laughed while covering her mouth with her hands.

"Hey!! Don't call me Om! That's annoying!" The man protested his words.

"But it's funny that you're called Om. I feel like I'm still abege? Haha." 

"Huh, our ages aren't much different, so don't make it up?"

"Kanda Om." Nania laughed again. "I like to laugh when I remember Ann calling you. It's funny."

"Huh …." The man rolled his eyes, and he suddenly remembered Anandita.

Not gone to school yet? Who's picking up? Must be Mr. Arfan. His mind, then he shook his head while gnawing.

"Why am I thinking about it?" Then he's monologuing.

"What?" Unknowingly Nania heard his words.

"Eee .. no. You wanna come by the reading house?" to distract the woman.

"I don't think I should go to the hospital." Nania answered.

"Hospital?"

Nania nodded.

"Why?" Regan held back the door while staring at the face of his superior wife.

"Check up the content." 

"Why not with Mr. Daryl?"

"Stage, besides he's got a lot of work to do. Pity it later fuss."

"But Mr Daryl knows today you checked up?"

"I forgot to say, but I just chatted."

"All right." Then Regan turned her car towards the road to Nikolai Medical Center.

"The content is right, ten weeks. And the growth stage is pretty good." The doctor stared at the monitor screen, while the stethoscope was attached to Nania's stomach.

"We'll check if there's a heartbeat?" He continued, and the woman responded with a nod.

The doctor attached a heartbeat detector to Nania's stomach which had been smeared with a kind of clear gel, then shifted it around the area.

"Well, if there's a heartbeat at this age, Doctor?" Nania asked.

"Something has been detected, but some have not. It depends on the condition of the pregnant woman." The woman answered.

"So it's not the same?"

"That's fine. Also sometimes there is a kind of subtle vibration in the stomach, so do not be surprised if you feel it later? That's a sign the fetus is reacting."

Nania nodded again, while the doctor fell silent while continuing to shift the object on the surface of Nania's abdomen. 

"Aren't you weak?" he said while sharpening his hearing.

Then he slightly pressed down which made a faint detachment sound.

"Can you hear?" she asked, but Nania nodded.

"Attent." He looked again for a point that allowed him to get a clearer heartbeat sound.

Then she stopped when she found him. And yes, now the sound of the thump was really clear.

"Look?" the doctor looked at the patient's face again.

Nania did not reply, but she fell silent while listening carefully.

The crack felt in rhythm with her heart, but she seemed to not believe that in her body was currently growing a fetus that was the result of a struggle between her and her husband. Which, though unplanned, makes them happy.

Then Nania smiled, but there was a clear circle that slid from the corner of her eye. A feeling filled his chest and he knew he was happy. Even so happy, to the point of making her want to cry.

Apparently, this is how it feels to know that he will be a parent. Knowing that she was able to give offspring to her husband, and at the same time did not believe that at this young age she would become a mother.

Isn't this amazing? 

Isn't this so happy?

And it seems that right now all the beautiful things in the world are overshadowing it. 

A husband who loves her so much, a family that accepts and supports her, is also in better shape than ever. And now even himself would give one of the successors a descendant to them.

Isn't this a miracle?

He was just an ordinary person who grew up in ordinary duania with ordinary life as well. But an unexpected fate leads him to what most people might call a fairy tale.

An imaginary story that is impossible to happen to people like him, and may only exist in fictitious stories. But in fact, he experienced it too.

"That's great, Miss Nania." The doctor cleaned his stomach with a tissue after the examination session was completed.

"Being well-guarded, always be careful about doing things because now you're not alone." 

Nania nodded her head.

"One thing my message is, do not think of anything that will cause stress because it will affect the fetus. Because the psychological condition of the mother will determine the good bad growth inside. So you have to be able to maintain a lifestyle, right? Be a happy pregnant woman!"

"Good Doctor."

"I will give you vitamins and some drugs that must be taken until it runs out, huh?" 

"Good." Nania got up and straightened herself.
