I can't answer my husband's question. Because every time I open my mouth to say something, the nausea comes. Darla immediately approached and gave me a glass of warm water. I took a sip and felt the nausea lessen.
“Sayang?” asked Hendra while rubbing my back.
“She's okay,” Mama said. He helped me to stand up making me confused to see his actions. “Hendra, bring your wife's food and drinks inside. I'll take him to the toilet for a second. You guys continue the show, Qiana. Za is fine.”
I looked at my mother-in-law in wonder. But I did as she led me to Qiana's house and I pointed my way to the toilet. We used to attend events in this house, so I memorized the location of all the rooms, including the room on the second floor.
“We will use this,” Mama said as she showed me the two boxes she was holding. I read the label.
“Te-Testpack?” seruku surprised. Mama pushed me into one of the rooms while giving me a plastic cup.
“Come, you definitely want to pee. I wait.” I haven't had a chance to say anything, Mama closed the door again.
“Does Mama always carry that tool everywhere?” tanyaku. Yeah, God. My mother-in-law's behavior is really funny. Does he want a grandchild anymore?
“Za? Ma'am? Are you guys inside?” Hendra's voice came from outside the toilet door.
“Come in, Son,” said Mama please. I heard the door open and footsteps approaching my door.
“I've put our food and drink in the living room. Is my wife okay?” asked Hendra still with a worried tone.
“He's fine,” Mama said reassured him. There was another knock on the bathroom door. This time there was no question, and whoever it was immediately opened the door.
“What happened? I saw my daughter being taken to the inside of the house. Did something happen to her?” ask mama. Is there anyone else who's gonna come over and disrupt my privacy?
“He's fine, Anya,” replied my mother-in-law. I came out of the room and gave the water to Mama. He accepted it with pleasure.
I cleaned my hands in the sink. The mother drips urine on the available part of the pregnancy test kit she carries while humming quietly. My mama rounded her eyes realizing what the iron was doing. My husband was no less surprised.
The result is not out yet, Hendra has approached me and kissed me all out. I laughed at it. “Darling, what's wrong with you? The result has not yet appeared.”
“I don't need confirmation from that tool. I already knew that you were pregnant. The symptoms are the same as your previous pregnancy,” she said who kissed me again. “I love you so much, baby. We'll take good care of him.”
My heart was pounding as we waited for the device to show the results. The smile on Mama's face expanded as she lifted the device and showed us the results. My mother and mother-in-law cheered happily.
“Congratulations, Naava! Congratulations, Anya!” they both hugged each other to congratulate. “We became grandmothers again. I have three grandchildren! I got five!”
“Ma, I'm pregnant, why are you two congratulating each other?” tanyaku. They laughed, and hugged me and Hendra. I was so excited to see the reaction of the two of them. Hendra came back to shower me with a kiss.
I can already imagine my two mamas would start enrolling me into pregnancy gymnastics with them as my permanent companion. And I will no longer be alone in childbirth because Hendra will be by my side.
“Is that true?” qiana asked who was already standing in front of the door when we were going out. Darla and Lindsey were also standing by his side. “You're pregnant, Zahara?” I'm nodding.
They cheered happily, then hugged me tightly. Hendra who was embracing me had to stay away for a moment. They took me to the living room and invited me to continue eating. Qiana even asked her servant to get me a few pieces of fruit and a bowl of ice cream.
We have not been able to fully celebrate my pregnancy because we need to see a doctor to get certainty of her condition and age. Seeing that he has been loved by so many people, I am sure he will be a rebound at birth later.
Zach, Rasmi, and my two papas caught up with us because they were astonished to see that we were not joining them in the yard. After they found out what we were celebrating, they took turns hugging me and ignored Hendra's ban. She was really angry when her own papa hugged me. Oh gosh.
The celebration of Qiana's son's graduation turned into a celebration of my pregnancy. Just-there's. Hendra pouted because he couldn't sit by my side. Our family and friends are scrambling to sit next to me and talk about our next plan so that our little one can be born safe and in good health.
“Finallyaa... we are alone,” said Hendra as he hugged me from behind. I was wearing cream on my face in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
“Bertiga,” my error while touching my stomach. He smiled happily.
“Honey, I'm wearing face cream!” I laughed amusedly.
“You don't need that cream. You are already too pretty.” He took the cream container from my hand, closed it, then pulled my hand out of the room towards the bedroom.
“There are many other women out there who are prettier than me. If I don't take care of myself, you may one day turn to another,” I said unaffected by his praise.
“I'm not interested in them, I'm only interested in you.” He told me to sit on the side of the bed where I usually lay. “You must be very tired after a day this is disturbed by all of them.” I laugh.
“They were with us when we lost our third child. It is only natural that they are so happy to welcome our second chance. He came so fast,” I was moved. “I think we will wait a little longer because you just recovered from the accident.”
“Luckily we obey doctor's orders. Can you imagine if we break the fast faster and you suddenly get pregnant? You can miscarry again because your womb has not recovered properly.” Hendra raised both of my legs on the bed. “Come, you have to rest.”
“I'm just pregnant, Hendra, not dying,” my protest.
“You've been taking care of me for as long as I'm sick, then now it's my turn to take care of you both.” He kissed my forehead, then put out the nightstand light by my side.
The embarrassing thing happened on Monday when Hendra and I went to the doctor to check on my uterus. Both of our parents wanted to know the state of their grandchildren. We filled the doctor's office and they were all moved to hear my baby's heartbeat.
I could only smile at the way they all were behaving. How else would you like? Everyone loves him and wants to know all his progress. The room was filled with happy cheers when the doctor confirmed that I was pregnant and seven weeks old.
“Mama, am I really going to have another sister?” asked Hadi while putting his hand on my stomach.
“True, dear.” We had just finished dinner and were relaxing in the living room. Hendra finally told the news of my pregnancy to our two children. Although Dira did not understand correctly, he was happy with us.
“May my brother so that me and Colin have a playmate,” he said expectantly. Hendra and I exchanged looks. He kissed my temple, then hugged us both. Dira who was in his lap laughed a little.
Hendra returned to work and Papa was able to continue his retirement. She was happy to be able to accompany Mama again in her recovery process. They stopped hiring nurses because Papa could focus on accompanying Mama.
They come home every day to be able to accompany me to do pregnancy exercises. The kids were happy to be there because their grandfather would take them for a walk when me and my two mamas took classes.
“What's up, Ma?” I asked when I saw Mama looking at me intensely and her forehead wrinkled. “Is there something on my face?”
After gym class, we had lunch together, then sat back in the living room. My two fathers were playing with their grandchildren on the carpet, while my mother and I sat on the couch together. We watched a drama on television, but I could feel Mama staring at me.
“I from yesterday wondered, and this question can not also I find the answer,” said Mama confused.
“What questions, Anya?” asked my mother-in-law, wondering, before I could ask her.
“Dira came when they only slept together once, the distance with Hadi was also quite close. Hadi was only two years old when she got pregnant again.” Mama looked at me carefully. “Then in the third pregnancy, they just a few moments back together, Ara is already pregnant.” Hearing her name called, Ara barked happily.
My heart was beating a little faster. I know where this conversation is going. And before Mama filed it, I could already guess what she would ask. My relationship with my mother-in-law has just recovered, should our relationship be destroyed again because of the stupidity I did in the past? Not only my mother-in-law, my mother will also be disappointed.

Meanwhile in a very elegant and luxurious workspace.
Gista read out that whole day's work schedule to his boss. He would occasionally stop to stoop a smile, thump, or take a deep breath whenever his laughter would explode.
"You better get back to your desk. Just send the schedule by email, let me check it myself. Too," said Hendra with annoyance.
"I'm sorry, sir." Gista finally couldn't help but laugh. "But I can't help myself anymore. You're so funny with a bald head."
"Get out!" exclaim Hendra.
