"Where to go bro, just lost in the earth. Your men were asked the same I also no one knows. How do you still want no project?" aliong asked Mario via his phone.
"Boss, I'm in dong's field. My time just stayed them. My suwer is a lot in location these days," replied Mario lying because actually he started to want to avoid Aliong.
"Your train's gone, don't want any more work. Let's hepi-hepi us, it's been a long time no singing. Tonight can't it?" Aliong took Karaoke back and there was definitely a bonus for getting drunk.
"Don't tonight, Boss, how about next week. I'm really busy this week, and then want a brini anter also to the doctor. It looks like my bini bunting again boss," said Mario trying to ask for time for the unhealthy gathering.
Aliong finally agreed and will schedule the hepi-hepi event next week, where Mario is obliged to participate.
Later that night Mario takes Soraya to an obstetrician, still with the doctor who used to handle Maya's pregnancy and gave birth to Maya.
The young, long-haired doctor was tied to the back, tattooed on the left wrist and jeans and sneaker shoes.
"How's Soraya's mother doing? pregnant again? Hmmm.The big boy wants two years. Call it the story," said doctor Yasmin while staring at Soraya's medical records.
Then Yasmin looked at Soraya and asked, "Will you remember the last date of your period?".
Soraya's face flushed red while confirming what Yasmin's doctor had just asked.
"Let's check it out, sister! please help Soraya's mother," asked Dr. Yasmin to her nurse.
"How about Mario sir, okay my stitches?" doctor Yasmin seduces Mario.
"Hahaha.this doctor could be," said Mario while laughing at the words of Dr. Yasmin.
When looking at the condition of Soraya's womb, there are two black dots but Yasmin's doctor looks a bit strange with one of them.
"It's not twins, but I'm afraid your fetus will be a little troubled. It looks like a myoma" Dr. Yasmin explained to Soraya and Mario.
"What are the risks to the doctor?" mario asked a little pale and while Soraya as usual kept silent.
"Mioma or Fibromioma, it is a tumor cell that grows in the uterus. Usually this is a benign tumor, but the problem is that it will grow along with the fetus. Will fight with the fetus in taking food intake".
"The condition of the fetus is good, but he is currently side by side with myoma. They will grow up together, and the most risky is the death of the fetus because he struggled with food and oxygen. But there are also some cases of fetuses surviving, and when giving birth later have to have a cesarean section because they have to remove the myoma earlier," Yasmin explained to Soraya and Mario.
Of course Soraya limp and tears flowed on her cheeks, she became upset again to Mario, because she remembered that the current pregnancy due to her husband's actions forced her when Mario was drunk.
"Doctor, what can myoma cause?" mario asked trying to calm down because he saw his wife had started crying.
"Mother Soraya is calm well, so look sir, the cause of myoma is many factors. There is due to irregular menstruation, there is a history of heredity, the use of hormonal drugs or consumption of fatty foods," back doctor Yasmin tried to give a calm explanation.
Soraya changes into nurse-assisted clothing, while Mario talks to Yasmin's doctor.
"What is the doctor's solution?".
"If you want to wait until the age of three months of pregnancy is okay, we see whether the myoma is enlarged or not. Or want to directly curettage, the fetus immediately removed," replied Dr. Yasmin.
"Sort of aborted the contents? is that what a doctor is?" ask Mario again.
"Yes very right".
Soraya shook her head, she didn't want to do that.
"No, I don't want curettage. Just ask for a moment, I'm sure he'll be fine" Soraya said sobbing.
Then the doctor asked them to think about the best, not to later regret, because the doctor can only help provide the best solution.
"I don't want to Bang, I'm sure this kid will be fine. To be sure I don't want to deliberately throw the fetus away, because I'm not a killer," Soraya still with her decision to defend her fetus even though Mario tried to give the best solution.
Mario could not force, he finally followed what his wife believed.
One afternoon Mario finally had lunch with Aliong and Mr. A, as usual eat but full of dirty political content.
"Gue wants a big project, school renovation. There are about sixty-five public schools from Elementary School to High School in Depok that need improvement. You can't afford it?"ask Mr. A to Mario while cigarette smoke billows in the dining room.
"Calculation's in my hands bro, stay you can't?" Aliong added to Mr. A earlier.
"Gue's just a renovation, right, no other business?" Mario also asked for affirmation from the two of them.
"This big fund bro, really, a period of six months must be done all the schools earlier. How's it? can't you?" Mr. A asked again.
Mario threw his back into the chair while folding both his hands in front of his chest and smiling.
"Okay, I'm willing. But I don't want to interfere in his money business. I'm just working on the decision letter" Mario tried to defend himself so as not to get involved in financial problems.
Aliong and Mr. A look at each other while nodding his head.
"Rio...Rio!!!" it sounds like someone called Mario when he was about to get into the car.
"My bro, Wildan..how are you?!!!" mario exclaimed when he looked and saw his college friend first calling his name.
"Rio, you're still handsome. What's up, bro, I'm reportedly tajir-tajir aja... hahahaha," said Wildan while laughing and hooked each other with Mario.
As usual long time no see and ask each other about work, household and other problems.
"Eh, I just saw you eating together with the Aliong...Fredy Aliong is a carmaker, right?" Wildan asked Mario.
"Yes, I have a little business with him, can be a splash of work pemda bro," said Mario as it is.
"Good, just you should be a little careful with Aliong. He's a bit cunning well, dare to play money to the government. The problem now is that there is a Corruption Eradication Commission, fearing you are careless," Wildan reminded Mario to be careful.
"There have been many people in the ranks of the government got bro, it is said that those who can also be part of it," Wildan added again.
Mario understands, and thank you so much for being reminded by Wildan.
Then they exchanged contacts and also exchanged business cards.
Mario is very happy, because his good friend turned out to be the director of one of the development consulting firms in the city of Jakarta.
Soraya stroked her stomach, her heart was so riled up. He did not want to lose his fetus, for him pregnancy is the most beautiful gift from God.
"Dede dear, must be strong well do not be discouraged. We both have to be sure that dede can go through this test," he said while stroking his flat stomach.
"Soraya, are you pregnant again?" asked Nania who overheard Soraya muttering.
Soraya nodded to Nania, but she saw that her best friend was not happy to know that she was pregnant.
"Wow, you saw not his employment contract yesterday. If the teacher has not completed the contract for two years and has not been appointed as a permanent employee, she should not get pregnant first" Nania said, looking panicked.
"I read Nania, and I get it. But now I'm actually pregnant, time has to be aborted this womb?" soraya was upset.
"Not so, I'm the head of administration at this school who handles both teachers and students. Now I have to tell you what the principal said if you were pregnant".
"I was worried that you would be appointed a permanent teacher. And one more thing, if not permanent employees only given maternity leave for one month only," Nania patted her forehead many times.
"Well, how else, I'm pregnant. Later want to be fired right now, yes I just accept it anyway," said Soraya looks increasingly upset.
"Not so, won't be fired anyway. Only your process of becoming a teacher will still be delayed and maternity leave can only be one month. I mean, it's not about getting fired" Nania tried to explain.
"So how dong, I'm already pregnant. Yes I have accepted all the rules that apply," said Soraya as her lips pursed.
"You're using KB no, Maya was a kid too, uh. she's pregnant again".
"Wear the Pill anyway, but still can concede," Soraya replied shyly.
"Basic Mario, he can also beat the Pill KB. Come face the principal, explain to him later, yah," Nania asked while holding her best friend's hand.
Andrea Sagita's mother the name of the school principal listened to Soraya's words, then he laughed.
"Ckckck.Kejapan Bu Nania, means that to this day there have been four cases of teachers getting pregnant before the contract period is completed. I personally do not matter, only the provisions of the Foundation are so strict, hopefully Ibu Soraya can understand," said Ibu Andrea Sagita trying to explain again.
Soraya understands, and she will try to continue teaching as well as possible until later before giving birth. Problem later will be dismissed or continue, he will leave it to the school policy only.
Walking time, three months is the age of Soraya. For two months yesterday, Yasmin's doctor said that now the position of the fetus and myoma is not close together. But later as the fetus will enlarge, then the myoma will also grow, so the doctor remains worried if the fetus will lack oxygen.
That day Soraya checked the content of the already three months, and back doctor Yasmin still with the same analysis.
"The fetus is healthy, but is in a position dealing with myoma in the mother's womb. Inevitably before nine months, and the condition of the fetus is worrisome, then I will take cesarean section even though the gestational age is not old enough," Dr. Yasmin explained the condition of Soraya's current fetus.
"What is the moon's forecast for how much it will happen?"asked Soraya in panic.
"Maybe at the age of seven or eight months, and if the baby later weight is not enough then it will go into the incubator," replied Yasmin again.
Soraya seemed limp when she heard the explanation from doctor Yasmin, wanting to faint. She was afraid of losing the baby in her womb.
"Hello Marsela, it's me Aliong," someone said as Marsela held up her phone.
"This is a temporary number. Listen, Sela, there's gonna be a man on my side named Acul soon. You will then provide all CV company files. FIKTIF to that person well, lest there be any left," Aliong ordered to Marsela.
"One more Sela, if tomorrow or when anyone asks Fredy Wiguna or Aliong, you just answer do not know well. And you say it to the other team, too" said Aliong again in a hurried tone.
Marsela just said yes, after the phone was closed and she immediately cleaned up all CV files. FIKTIF as per Aliong request. All the files were put into a big box while waiting for someone named Acul.
"Mbak Sela, what is this?" susi asked when she saw that there was a big box of milk dus near Marsela's table.
"Somehow, Koh Aliong just asked for all CV files. The FICTIF is inserted into the dus and later will be taken by Acul ," said the same Marsela did not understand.
"Wow, maybe Koh Aliong is no longer in business with Mario. I'm really happy that it's like that" Susi seemed happy that it was true.
Marsela also glanced at Susi and the two smiled happily hoping that their Boss would have no more business with Aliong.
Soraya has gotten bigger stomach when now the age of the womb just in the fifth month.
Last yesterday from the doctor Yasmin again check, and he said the fetus is healthy even though the myoma is also enlarged.
During this time Soraya and Mario agreed not to tell the condition of Soraya's pregnancy to the entire family.
Mamih Regina and Wongso's mother thought Soraya was fine with her second pregnancy.
Attention all went to Maya who is now two years old.
The boy was now talking a lot and asking what he saw. Especially Mother Sunaryo who every day with the child, although sometimes feel tired because of following Maya who does not want to be silent, but her heart is very happy because Maya grows healthy and cheerful.
That Saturday afternoon, Soraya was feeding Maya a meal in the yard of Sunaryo's mother.
"Who's car stopped on your face?" ask Sunaryo's mother to Soraya.
"I also do not know who, if they might be guests Bang Rio well," said Soraya who saw a car stop in front of the house he rented all this time.
Then Soraya said goodbye and asked Sunaryo's mother to feed Maya for a while.
"Sorry, who are these gentlemen looking for ?" soraya asked two men who were standing in front of the fence of her rental house.
"Oh, we're looking for Mario Maliangkay's house, is it true to live in this house?" tanya Aliong who at that time came with Mr. A.
"Yes right sir, I am his wife. Mr. Mario hasn't come home yet" Soraya told Aliong and Mr. A.
"Oh, look, ma'am, we're Mario's friends. I called his phone, but it was not connected. We need to do development work" Aliong told Soraya.
"Then please enter first sir, I will try to contact my husband. Who knows, it can be connected" Soraya said as she opened the gate and invited her husband's two guests into the house.
"Bang, there's a guest in the house waiting. He said he wanted to talk about the building" Soraya said on her phone to Mario.
"What's his name?" ask Mario.
"If I don't hear it wrong, he said Aliong his name".
"Hmmm.yeah, I told you to wait, I'm still on the road".
Mario immediately drove the car to get home. Though he was at the dam construction site on the outskirts of Jakarta.
Upon arriving at home, Mario immediately went into the house and found Aliong and Mr. A is sitting on a dining table chair.
"Rio...Rio..aduuhhh contactor building his house is small like this. Your money goes where all this time, he said again wake up the house," said Aliong when Mario arrived at the door of the house.
"It's a rented house bro, my house hasn't been sorted out still fucked up. After all, there is no time to settle the house yourself," said Mario while directly pulling a chair and sitting in front of the two of them.
Aliong and Mr. A immediately opened the conversation without wasting any more time, they discussed about the large amount of school renovation funds.
"Rio, why are you such a dodge from us. Are you not up to the school's new renovation job, huh!!!???" ask Mr. A looks upset to Mario.
"Gue can do it, only I can't agree on the same calculation you made for me. I swear I'm afraid, you guys make crazy values" said Mario while opening a pack of cigarettes and pulling a stick from it.
Mario lit a cigarette and sucked deeply while saying," Susi, my architect and his team have surveyed twenty schools, and it turns out that only ten schools are bad. The rest is just a little improvement".
"While you put the price of repairs per school of two hundred and fifty million rupiah each, it means there are thirteen billion funds for the repair of all those schools. I'm afraid bro, because not all schools have to be fixed with that much value," Mario was seen shaking his hand while smoking his cigarette.
"Lu scared of what? you just finish doang, my money business is the same Mr. A is holding. Lu work finish school it all, later I just pay the bills you send to me," said Aliong look annoyed to Mario's statement.
"Rio, this project is liquid funds, now it's in my hands. You just need to do school repairs, what a hard thing!!!" Mr. A also begins to look annoyed to Mario.
"The thing is you guys are crazy, what's that much money for. I do not understand, the funds will be a lot of difference excess. All this time I understand you guys are always markup value, but I see still reasonable limits. Now it's too much, I give up. Not unable to work on the project, but unable to with such a large fund," Mario looked back at Aliong and Mr. A.
"Some can Rio, contracted work your company name is already recorded and also your name already exists. If you run away from this employment contract, instead we will demand compensation with your company," Mr. A. to present the contract work for the project.
"Where do you want redress bro, money you don't have. Your business is mediocre, first to want to sell a car to pay off debt because your money is taken away from people. I'm helping you, I'm giving you a job until you can pay all the debts".
"Now you want to run from the contract, then if you are required to pay for what ..haaahhh??!!. Look at your bini again bunting, your son is still a child. You want to make them miserable, can't eat, can't live comfortably because you're breaking a work contract," Aliong began to bring up what he had done to Mario.
Hearing that Mario was more upset his heart, but he was difficult to avoid at that time. He had to accept the job even though it was very high risk.
Mario tries to brainwash, how can he survive if something happens. Because inevitably, one day Aliong and Mr. A will have corruption problems.
"Okay, I took the job. But I fixed only twenty schools well, because that's what my company's team has surveyed. The rest you can do with other companies. After all, the project is being pursued by a six-month target. I'm afraid that I'm in a state of turmoil" Mario said, trying to negotiate with Aliong and Mr. A.
Mr. A seemed to think when Mario finished saying like that, they still argue with each other.
Soraya had to provide dinner, so inevitably she immediately made fried rice.
Maya is still kept at Sunaryo's mother's house, because in the smokehouse the billowing cigarettes do not stop. Mario and the other two men kept talking to each other. I don't know what they're talking about, because Soraya doesn't understand her husband's job.
While cooking while having to face cigarette smoke, when cooked fried rice is immediately served at the dining table.
The three ate first but still the conversation felt mutually insistent. In Soraya's ears were heard by the two guests as if forcing her husband to accept large amounts of money and do something.
But Mario seemed to insist on refusing to accept the money, and her husband remained on his stand that he would receive the money once the work was done and according to the bill put forward by her husband.
Soraya just kept quiet while cleaning up in the kitchen after finishing cooking, and after the three men ate also immediately cleaned the table and washed the dishes. After that Soraya immediately went out of the house again to the house of Sunaryo's mother because Maya was there.
"It's a headache, in the house the smell of cigarette smoke. Bang Rio and his two guests did not stop smoking. The more serious the talk, the more serious the smoking," Soraya complained to Sunaryo's mother.
"That's a man, Mr. Sunaryo used to be a heavy smoker. You can stop smoking after a heart surgery verdict. Finally heart surgery was also about ten years ago," Sunaryo's mother also told me that her husband used to be just like Mario.
"True ma'am, it's strange to be a man. If you don't see a cigarette in a day, it's as if you're missing a treasure. Bang Rio was willing to rain to buy cigarettes in the front shop there," Soraya again told her husband who could not escape from cigarettes.
The wall clock is eight o'clock at night, and Maya appears to be sleepy.
"Mommy bobo.huk...huk..
...ayo bobo!" take Maya to Soraya and the boy looks very sleepy.
"Darling bobo here first well, wait for papa's guests to come home. The house smelled of smoke, son," Soraya tried to explain to her son.
"Mama.bobo cana..bobo at home..," a small child can not sleep anywhere other than in his home and in his room.
"Later on, bobo here first well dear in the house Oma here well smart child, "Sunaryo's mother also tried to seduce Maya.
"Hua.hu...Mama bobo.mau bobo lumah.hua." Maya instead cried loudly because she wanted to go home and sleep in her house.
Mario hears his son crying from across the street, saying he took a moment to pick up his son.
"You why the hell, the sleepy child wants to go home even can not. Strange as it is, come here Maya dear, here son same Papa yuk," Mario glanced sharply and as usual always ketus to his wife.
Then Mario and Soraya say goodbye to Mr and Mrs Sunaryo while Mario holds Maya who looks very sleepy.
"Bang, in our house a lot of cigarette smoke. I'm afraid Maya is claustrophobic when it comes to smelling cigarette smoke" Soraya said, trying to resuscitate Mario.
"Ah, always overdo you, already do not talk much. Stay asleep in the room, your bedroom window is open. The windows were also fed with mosquito wire, so no mosquitoes could enter. Put the fan on, let the cigarette smoke go away" Mario nagged Soraya instead.
Mario...Mario, maybe Maya is strong with cigarette smoke, but what about the fetus in your wife's stomach.
Sometimes men like that, if you are busy and have a lot of thoughts, then anything can be done.
Not only that day smoking incident many people in his house, after agreeing with the decision for the project then more and more guests to the house Mario.
Mr. A and Aliong were obviously regular guests, then there were more foremen, there were more shop people and others related to the project.
And all the men were smoking, their little rental house full of cigarette smoke every day.
Soraya can only stroke the chest, because he knows for himself how Mario if advised even became angry.
