Wife Titipan
Chapter 26
The day just changed without leaving a meaningful impression. As time goes by, Pram begins to feel the affection that grows in his heart for the baby that is now conceived by Najma.
The woman is now standing in front of a glass wall, staring at the vehicle that looks small from the 30th floor of the Pram office building. Today Pram accidentally brings Najma to his office, he is worried when he leaves the woman alone suddenly his mother comes and does something bad to Najma.
"Lately I've seen you daydream a lot" Pram said.
"I'm not daydreaming, I'm just thinking about how to leave you" Najma said without looking back at Pram. The man's jaw immediately hardened, he was angry with Najma's words just now. Pram gripped the woman's shoulder tightly.
"I'm just kidding you're too sensitive." Najma casually let go of Pram's hand which gripped her shoulder. The thin smile he gave the man, but in Pram's eyes Najma's smile was more like a sneer.
"If I jump from here am I still alive? the 30th floor was so tall, I guess I would instantly die without feeling any pain while jumping from here." Pram looked at Najma with horror. The woman smiled with a blank look.
Pram immediately pulled Najma away from the place. Pram could die suddenly seeing a loved woman suddenly jump to suicide.
"Don't scare me by talking like that" said Pram, hugging Najma, who gave no response. Pram panicked, reminded of Najma's old illness. The woman had a tendency to commit suicide, once when they were still dating. Najma tried several times to end her life.
"I want to go home" said Najma later, but he regained consciousness. Pram sighed softly as if he could not force Najma to stay here any longer.
"My work is not done yet." Najma tries to smile sweetly so that Pram frees himself from Pram's boring work room.
"What's wrong, I can go home alone, during pregnancy I'm often tired and I think I'm more comfortable resting when I'm at home." Pram looked at Najma inside, he tried to pry what the woman was planning through the look in her eyes.
"Alright I'll ask people to drive you home, later after home don't forget to lock your room door don't open it for anyone." Najma nodded. After all, who would dare to visit his house other than the magic grandmother Mother Pram.

"Diliatin keep the photo, not bored what?" Yuda commented on Bayu who was looking at a picture of Najma. Bayu grunts Yuda, always disturbing his imagination.
"Let me guess! you like the woman in the photo ‘kan. How come who's that woman?" Ask Yuda with a cocoon look, he embraces Bayu in a familiar pretentious style.
"I really like it." Yuda's eyes widened. Waw! it's amazing Bayu admits his feelings are usually evasive, eh but if Bayu likes the woman in the photo what about Elsa? inner Yuda.
"Oh now I understand why you always look upset. You like that woman, but she doesn't have the same feelings for you. Bhahahahah, it is very unfortunate that your fate is Bayu," said Yuda, pressing his stomach which was painful because he laughed at Bayu's bad luck.
Bayu is currently eager to plash Yuda's head, he confided instead laughed at. In the heart of Bayu Cuss the Yuda, hopefully his twin who cap the chicken playboy village experienced a fate far more miserable than him.
"But I have a solution to overcome your turmoil, just use compassionate teaching. You pellet that beautiful woman let her go crazy about you, guaranteed your betrothed will be accepted happily bro." Bayu frowned, compassionate teaching, there was only this Judah. What a trick, Najma has become his wife and the location of the problem is not there.
"I don't believe that." Bayu feels the idea of Yuda is very silly, anyway even though later he managed to have Najma indeed he was able to make the woman happy. He is just a simple man, Najma is not used to living as he is.
"Whatever, but this proves its efficacy, guaranteed a thousand percent if you use the compassionate teaching, the woman you like will bend your knees to you," said Yuda so sure of what he said.
"The problem is not that simple, our social status differences are too far away," said Bayu worried, because he did not want to fight to keep the woman.
"The problem is the status of a simple Bayu, love is ‘kan do not know caste. But if you want to get rich quick, just do the ritual of pesugihan." Yuda said plainly, it felt like Bayu wanted to make a cloth face songong twinnya.
"And you'll be the first person I'll crush," said Bayu cynically, confiding with the slanted-brained Yuda was useless. Instead of finding a solution, he was instead made dizzy with Yuda's mischievous advice.

After leaving the office Pram Najma did not go home immediately, he stopped by his Cafe with Jihan. He was welcomed by the workers there. Najma decided to relax there.
Najma who was enjoying a cup of hot chocolate so remembered with Bayu, while with the man Bayu often made him hot chocolate. Najma rubbed her stomach and her son started to move, he always reacted whenever Najma's mind was fixed on Bayu.
"You miss Papa? Sorry Mama. Mama can't make you meet Papa." Najma murmured, hoping that his son might not look like Bayu.
Too cool to daydream, Najma was surprised when someone patted her on the shoulder. A man she guessed was the same age as her father was smiling kindly at her. Najma frowned she felt like she had met this man.
The old man seemed to understand with the confusion of Najma. "I'm Seno Pram's father, we've met once, I hope you still remember me" said the man. Najma smiled stiffly feeling bad for not recognizing this man.
"You pregnant? what kid?" Tanya Seno scanned Najma's stomach.
"New first child" said Najma softly, Seno's forehead creased deeply. Najma and Pram are already ten years married, a bit suspicious but he brushed it off by trying to think positively maybe Pram and Najma deliberately postponed.
"During your marriage, did Pram often get rude to you?" Najma looked down when stared deeply at by Seno, not knowing how to answer the man's question. Replied not Pram often snapped it, answered Yes Najma was afraid Pram's father was offended.
Seno sighed heavily, from the reaction Najma gave he already knew the answer. Seno's eyes look bright, as if trying to open the dark veil in the past.
"As a child Pram had psychiatric problems, his emotions were unstable he was often angry and laughed indistinctly. He often fights to make his opponent battered, not only that he had also killed his mother's pet dog by skinned. Psychiatrist who handled it, it happened because the lessons given to him were too hard."
Najma immediately goosebumps, hearing Seno's story. His heart did not believe that Pram was that terrible, okay Pram did often snap at him, but as long as he was with the man Pram only ever slapped him once.
"When Pram was 14 years old he was declared cured of his mental illness." Najma held her breath for a moment, was Pram completely healed?,
"I'm telling you this so you can understand Pram, I know that Pram loves you so much, I hope that nothing will change between you afterwards. Don't tell us about our meeting, Pram would be furious if he found out." Najma nodded slowly, nor would she tell him this.
Long day Pram had warned him not to meet with Seno, Najma is still sane not to make Pram angry with him. Especially considering the man's past made Najma a little horrified, all this time he had loved a beautiful human-shaped monster.
