At the priest's residence.
Viona got off the motorbike and rushed into the house without carrying a single piece of her groceries. His face was still not friendly.
”Loh, Viona? His face why is it?” ali asked in surprise when he saw the look on Viona's face that was tangled and pouting. Viona was indifferent, she still stepped inside the house.
Ali was getting confused. He looked at Andra. Andra shrugged her shoulders to answer Ali's question through her eyes.
Andra sighed looking at Viona's back who stepped inside the priest's house.
Andra got off the bike. He took all the groceries and brought them into the house.
This is how lovers. Acute, birth, peace, fighting, joking, sulking, crying, smiling every day. It's boring! Better, if you are ready to get married immediately than dating. He caught up with Andra who went into the house.
In Ali's room.
”Eh, Vi. You just came from outside. Pamali first carrying baby boy. Go clean yourself first you just carried your baby,” scolded Mother Ali on Viona who was about to hold the baby.
”Hah, is there such a thing as Mom?” Viona pulled her body from the baby. He looked at Ali's mother curiously.
”Iya. Don't know if it's in town, but if we're in the village. Pamali if just came from outside directly carrying a baby child. We don't know what creatures are following us from behind, so when we hold the baby, the baby is disturbed and will cry from fear.” Ali's mother explained.
Viona nodded in understanding, even though to her it was superstition, she still listened to Ali's mother's advice. Viona took the towel and went to the bathroom to clean herself.
Andra put the groceries on the table while saying, ”Mother, take another look...is there still less stuff?”
Ali's mother saw all Andra and Viona's groceries. ”It's complete Andra. Oh yes, I plan the day after tomorrow to hold an event for the baby. Hair shaving event as well as naming for the baby, what do you think?” tanyakanya.
”If the tradition is like that... Andra everywhere, Mom. Consider this baby, giving me and Viona, Anisa and Ali as examples. So in the future, if we have another baby child is not rigid anymore in welcoming baby children also not confused anymore to do the tradition that must be done to the baby,” Andra said with a smile.
”Ya already, then. you have agreed yes if on the show tomorrow after tomorrow.” Ali's mother made sure.
”Iya, Ma'am,” replied Andra.
”Iya... what is this?” asked Viona curious she just came out of the bathroom. Viona had changed, a small towel wrapped around her head. He walked past Andra, he sat on the side of the bed.
Andra had breathed in the fragrance typical of Viona. It made her want to hug the girl's body and land her lips on the girl's lips that were sulking at her.
”Bapak wants to make a thanksgiving event for the baby, tomorrow the day after. Haircuts and name giving. So.. you and Andra immediately find a name for this tiny baby girl,” explained Ibu Ali while poking the nose of the baby's nose.
”But... If anyone asks this baby whose child, what should we answer? If you're going to say this is my baby with Andra, it's impossible! People know I'm not pregnant, me and Andra aren't married either. Then, should we say this baby is the child of the golden cobra snake? What do people say later?” viona was serious.
”Yes, that's right too! Not thinking there. Then how is this? Em... wait for the father to come home recently we discussed,” proposed by Ibu Ali.
”Ais why only now I feel sorry to accept this offer to take care of this baby yes!”
”Vi, don't talk like that.This child is entrusted to you. She believes in you, why are you talking so now?” Andra nagged Viona.
”Not so! I mean. I just realized right now, for the clarity of this kid's status is a little complicated. I'm still single, not married. Want to make a birth certificate for the baby without a father it could be but. his process is long, and one day will be an insult to his peers because he does not have a father. People will call him "A bastard" isn't that so bad? If we get a birth certificate and claim this baby is my son and Andra they won't believe it either, because our marriage book doesn't exist. I also never got pregnant,” said Viona sadly.
”Not think about it. Now just think about the name of the boy. The business of admitting this child whose child and the birth certificate of the baby will only be discussed with the father if the father has returned home,” said Mother Ali.
”Alright, I will think about the name of this child first,” said Viona while holding the baby.
”Alright, I went to the kitchen first to see Anisa. Ali, come here.there's something Mama wants to talk to you about,” Ibu Ali told Ali. Ali nodded. He stood up following the footsteps of his mother who came out of the room. Ali closed the door.
Andra sat down beside Viona. He deliberately tightened his body on Viona's back body. His hands were poking at the baby's cheeks.
”Andra, you're too close to me..”.
”If it's not close to you, who should I be close to? My girlfriend, my lover is you,” replied Andra. His hand was still poking the tiny baby in Viona's sling even, his chin was stored on Viona's right shoulder.
”How about we just get married?” said Andra instantly.
The deg! The deg! Viona's heartbeat sounds beating fast. His face was flushed with shame and happy too. Viona did not answer.
”We married religiously first. To make it easier for us to acknowledge this child if we are his legal parents. Then, make it easier for us to make a birth certificate. You agree?” ask Andra.
Andra's forehead shriveled. He pulled his chin from Viona's shoulder. In fact, now he was crouching in front of Viona. He looked at Viona's face. Viona saw Andra's face at a glance and then she again noticed the face of the tiny baby in her carrier.
”Vi, I love you. Do you doubt my love? What am I__”
”Dra, I don't doubt your love. I doubt the existence of your heart,” interrupted Viona without seeing Andra's face.
Andra picked up the baby that was in Viona's hands all of a sudden, making Viona surprised and said, ”Dra, what are you doing?”
Andra put the baby slowly on the bed while answering, ”Emang what will I do to our baby?” He sat on the side of the bed, his hands placed on both shoulders.
”Vi, what's the matter exactly? Which of my attitudes makes you dissatisfied with me? I mean it to you, Viona!” andra was serious.
”What about your heart, Dra..?” Viona looked at Netra Andra sadly. Eyes glazed. Andra took her hand off Viona's shoulder. His forehead shriveled. He was completely confused by Viona's attitude today. Even his eyes were staring at the floor.
”Why silence? What about your heart?” ask Viona again.
Andra again saw Viona, ”Vi, I really don't understand with you today. I love you, I mean it, of course my heart is yours.” Andra convinced Viona.
Viona smiled wryly. ”Heh, hahaha. Dra. You think I'll believe you, Dra. Your heart is not with me! Your heart is somewhere else, I have seen your sad face several times when I see Nia sad. Ever since we were at the police station, your face has not shone. You're not willing to see Nia suffer, are you? You can't see Nia grieving, can you?” Viona sobbing.
”Vi... that's not true! Ak__”
”Even her picture of Nia is still on display in your wallet,” by Viona.
Oh, so my girl is jealous of me? It's only right that since he returned my wallet, his reaction has been different. Why didn't I realize it in the first place? I forgot to throw the photo away. So. I am now dealing with a woman who is angry with jealousy.
Andra sighed. He took his wallet out of his pants pocket. He took the photo out of his wallet and kept his wallet back in his pocket. Viona was only watching Andra.
”I forgot to throw that photo out of my wallet. I don't like Nia anymore. My heart is locked for you.” He gave the photo to Viona. ”It...so you want to take that photo. I won't care,” he said again.
Viona didn't take it. ”Why? Don't you have the heart if you yourself throw away or tear the photo?” Viona stand. ”Dra. If your heart is still the same Nia, don't make me love you and give my heart to you. That's not fair,” he said again. He walked out of the room.
Andra grunted in annoyance. He never persuaded women. He stood up and stepped up quickly preventing Viona from coming out of the room.
Andra locked Viona's body between the door wall and her body.
”What should I do to convince you, Vi? I never persuaded women. So please tell me, how am I going to persuade you not to get angry and trust me? I'll do it for you,” Andra said.
”Away from me..”
”No going!” Andra turned Viona's body towards her. ”Viona, the one you saw my expression on seeing Nia was probably right. I was sad, but my heart was not on him. I'm just sad why he could be that cruel no other purpose. I really mean it to you. My heart, my soul, just for you. Trust me...!”
”Tear the photo and burn the photo Nia,” said Viona.
Without saying Andra tore the photo of Nia until small tears. He kept the small pieces of paper on the floor and burned them without hesitation.
”Already, I've ripped and burned it. Do you trust me now?” andra asked seriously looking at Viona's netra.
”Determine our baby boy. I'll go back and help them cook. After I return, her name should already be in place,” Viona said. He turned and opened the door.
”Vi...kamu__” his speech stopped to coincide with the closing of the room door.
”This girl, without answering me comes out just like that. Does he not know what my heart is now? My heart is now shaking nobly because of it. Is he still sulking or not? Still mad at me or not? Ah...Viona. Ah, shit!” Andra banged on the wall of the room door.
Outside Ali's room.
Viona smiled happily to hear Andra's complaint behind the door.
It's your fault, who told you not to throw the photo out of your wallet and have a sad face when you see Nia. Don't blame me for assuming that, Viona thought.
He no longer listened to the sound of Andra's hand hitting the door wall.
Is he now approaching the baby and thinking of a name for the baby? viona's mind again.
He stepped away from there. He went to the kitchen.
