The Woman Behind The Scenes

Chapter 20 - Welcome, New Members!

“Come mah!” scream Tomi from outside

apartment door. That afternoon was busy. During his working hours, he and

Dara had to drive her mother to the airport to return to Indonesia. Only

some suitcases they dragged out, because only his mother returned to

Indoneszian.

Surprising right? Tomi's sister

decided to try his luck in the country of people with his brother and

his sister-in-law. Something that Dara certainly cannot resist, because it is

decisions of her husband unilaterally and without discussion. Strategy this time

that is getting used to living with brother-in-law, and it seems

not too difficult for Dara, because he is very good at hiding

whatever the reaction.

Dara doesn't know how far she's capable

his brother-in-law was, but he knew that Tami was an economics scholar from

one of the private universities. His brother-in-law should have a lot of ability

which makes it easier to get accepted to work.

"Come on. Mama's bag already?"

her in-laws got pulled out while fixing her veil.

"It's the same Dara, mah,"

dara replied while confirming Kio's position in her carriage.

Fortunately! The road to the airport

not stuck like other days. The taxi they were riding was

hurry up, and arrive at the airport.

Tom led his mother out of the

in a taxi, then drop off the suitcases that are mostly

by-by. The family rushed inside, and waited for the cause of the plane

will open the check-in counter within the next hour.

"Dar. Mama tipped Tami, yeah. Please help until he gets a job!" dara's arm is held by

her in-laws. A message that is certainly not an easy thing. Games 'people

di' may be common in Indonesia. Titip enter acquaintance to be able to

get into a job. But in this country ..

professional person. Getting a job here means daring to enter a

the competition.

"Go ahead, Mah ... May there be a ruse, "he answered briefly, hiding his objections. Only

that was the right answer for Tami to give her parents-in-law a sense of calm

will go flying.

Tomi came to take some

a package of fast food in his hand, and a tent with ice coffee

Dara's Favorites. The man is thrusting iced coffee that looks very tempting, he said,

"the princess's favorite."

Dara smiled as she received the ice

very cold coffee, suitable for very hot Philippine weather.

The slurrp! A sip of iced coffee with

the right dose of sugar, not too sweet, goes into Dara's mouth. Her eyes

it was at the check-in counter that was starting to get crowded.

"It's open, Bi!" it

pulling the hand of her husband who was busy playing with Kio. Tom picked up

her mother came out of the chair, and took her suitcases to the check-in counter. An

good service from the child to the mother, he completed the check in process, then

bring her mother back to meet Dara and Kio for a farewell.

"Mama's leaving, Dar. Tusset

Tami okay. Tom, take care of your wife and kids, look out for you," in-laws

he said goodbye, and Dara immediately kissed his in-laws hand. They're dropping off

the woman reached the departure gate, then waved her hand.

Finally ... Mission complete!

"Come on. Poor Tami himself in

sana," answered Dara briefly. Tomi chuckled, mocked, "Is he really a toddler? She's your age, Ra. Let alone.

Let's go around first. You hungry?"

Dara can't lie to her stomach

that feels so hungry. He had just eaten fried chicken from a fast restaurant

saji earlier, but he had felt the stomach acid that began to gnaw

tummy.

"Come on. I hungry. Started to have a good stomach. Her coffee was like a thick one," she agreed to her husband's invitation

that's.

The family took a taxi to a restaurant where Dara ate her usual beef-sum soup. It was his favorite restaurant. As usual, he sat at the very corner of the table inside

that restaurant. Such a pleasant aroma could be smelled from within his kitchen,

and people are seen enjoying a bowl of beef bone marrow soup. Restaurants

the best is never lonely, and never fails to arouse appetite

Tare.

The awaited finally

coming in! Dara's two favorite sum bowls. His stomach still feels a little strange,

like full of gas and stomach acid.

“Kio. Say aaa” she feeds her ball of that warm soup. The boy opened his mouth and devoured a spoonful of soup

with soft beef.

“You didn't eat?” tomi's attention was diverted from his soup bowl, to his wife who kept drinking his tea.

“Iya. I'm a little bad for his stomach.

It’s okay ..” answered Dara briefly while feeding her son once again.

 He gathered his intention to be able to eat the soup that had been served in front of him. Should be warm soup food can relieve bloating on the stomach. But ... There is nothing warmer than the togetherness of his little family in his favorite place with his favorite food.

"A ready? Come on!" Tomi called his wife who was still busy cleaning the bag. A good luck on that day they will be on the same shift.

Dara seemed to be busy cleaning some boxes of supplies into her tenteng bag, along with some fruits that she had cut from the refrigerator.

"Awhile yeah. I put on my shoes first" Dara took her shoes and lowered her head to put on her shoes. He can feel dizzy in the head that suddenly attacks. She tried to quickly put on the shoes so as not to make her husband wait any longer.

"Can we come later?" the question is brief to the suanya who is holding the elevator door to keep it from closing.

"Where?"

"Minimarket next to the office. Yeah?" she answered briefly while smiling spoiledly to her husband. His smile was greeted with an anxious caress on his crown.

The streets started to get crowded that morning. Busy day of course, because a few days ago, all the offices were on long vacation.

Dara pushing door minimarket. The aroma of the coffee was so concentrated, it quickly attacked his smell that morning. Weird ... The smell he usually liked, but this time it was so disturbing. His eyes were busy combing a shelf filled with fruits.

"Search what?" Tomi.

"Here we go!" Dara girang picked up a package containing green mango that had just been cut.

Tomi shook her head. In the early hours, his wife had an appetite that would probably hurt her unfulfilled stomach.

The couple immediately boarded the elevator and stopped on the fifth floor where their office was located. It's been a lot ...

"Morning. Crazy one! Cin. What's eating mangoes so early?" Nino looked up at the green mango on Dara's table.

"Yes. No more good mouth. Hehe" he answered briefly to his friend.

"You want coffee?" Nino offers.

A coffee? Uh! That smell lately is not liked Dara.

Drr! Phone's vibrating. The call from Tami apparently.

"Sister! Got a pad?" his panicked voice sounded from behind the phone.

Dara chuckles,"Hahaha yes there is. Ask Cecil, yes. He knows where."

"OKo brother. Kio is asleep. Hye!" Tami closed the conversation.

Dara stopped for a moment. He had just remembered something after his conversation with Tami ...

***

Dara waited patiently but was overwhelmed with anxiety. Is this true? His feelings may be true ...

The woman's toilet was so quiet ... Dara was so quiet waiting for the process to go.

"What?" Dara rushed out of the toilet and approached her husband who was seriously at work.

"Bi .." she laughed, calling her husband.

"What's wrong?" Tomi replied, then immediately stunned at a test pack on her desk, with two bright red lines.

"Alhamdulillah! Kio's a big sister," he looks so excited to know Dara's two-bodied again.

New members ... New round ... Dara seemed to be in disbelief, like she was dreaming in broad daylight. Unrelenting thanksgiving. This was not something he had predicted before, as he was taking some pregnancy-preventing drugs. But this is .. a miracle.
