Dear Om Rey
Chapter 57: The News


I ran into my mother-in-law's house. When I was just out of the room after finishing my final semester exam, I got word that Mas Rey was finally home.


Two weeks he was there.


Yes, a week longer than he promised. After that he didn't even answer all my calls and chats anymore. He also did not contact Marcel. He just called to give his work progress. In addition, all the questions about how the search for evidence, he did not answer.


All of Mas Rey's attitude has made me uneasy. What's the matter with him exactly? Until the news of his return reaches me I can't wait to see him.


When we arrived at the living room. I saw Mas Rey sitting on one of the sofas, along with my mother-in-law, Madam Dewi and also Mbak Kinan. I approached them and they looked at me tensely.


"Have you come home?" I asked with breath.


Mas Rey turned her head slowly and her face was more tapered than I remembered before.


He smiled thinly. "Mas's home, Dan. Sorry I'm going longer than expected." Wiry


"Son, sit down." Said my mother-in-law. I also sat next to my husband.


Everyone was silent, making me confused. "Mas, what's wrong? Why Mas lemes' face? Do you often eat late while there?"


Rey did not answer. He even bowed lethargic.


"Mas why..." I'm getting confused about this situation.


"Nis, you see this." Ms. Kinan said, she shifted a piece of paper lying on the table towards me.


Confused, I looked at the paper. I picked it up and read it. They all speak English. I knew some of the terms in the letter, and instantly the wound in my heart that had healed again felt throbbing as I began to understand the contents of the letter.


"It's..." I looked at them all one by one. They all looked at me tensely.


"Yes, Nis. That's the DNA test Rey did after she met Manda." Finally, the Goddess voiced. "The result says Manda's DNA was found in Rey's body. The DNA came from Manda's v^ginny liquid."


My body immediately shook violently. My eyes began to be covered with tears.


"It's not like I said..." I don't even know what to say. All this time I've been back to believing in him. But what is this?


"Maybe Rey didn't realize she had done that. But this evidence is valid to prove everything." Said Madam Dewi with her cold expression.


I cried at once. The pain that had healed before, now I feel it again. But I have forgotten it. Though I've come back to believe in Mas Rey but it turns out...


"You guys talk first. Wi, take mom to the room." My mother-in-law's voice is weak. Then the three of them left me with Mas Rey.


For a few moments I could only cry. Rey just let me. He was silent beside me.


"Sorry, Dan." Finally he made a sound.


It hurts so much to feel this again. Even this time it hurts more than before. And what pisses me off is that I can't blame Mas Rey anymore. Now I believe that Mas Rey did not betray me. I knew it was an accident. I know and I believe Mas Rey didn't mean to do that. I believe Mas Rey did it while she was unconscious.


I don't know, my feelings say that. I can't vent my anger like before.


Now my instinct just wants him to continue with me, not want me to lose him. Not wanting to get angry at him, yelling at him, but my heart hurts so much.


My crying is slowly winding down.


"That means... Should I marry Aunt Manda?" I finally.


"Mas won't marry Manda."


"MAS!" My yelling.


"FOR GOD'S SAKE, DAN!!" He came back to yell at me.


"What about Aunt Manda? That's Mas's son." Isakku.


Mas Rey grabbed my body and he who had been silent now cried as much as he could. We both cried at each other's pain.


"Mas sure didn't do that... Please believe in Mas.." said Mas Rey in the middle of his prank.


I believe it, Mas. It was just an accident, but it still hurts. My heart is in my heart.


I finally decided to go home to my mother's house. This happened right when my final semester exam was over. Therefore for a while, I wanted to be in Bandung with my mother to calm down.


Mas Rey is still in Jakarta. He would not want to go back to work as usual. After we cried together at that time, Mas Rey became even more quiet. His attitude changed towards me. We communicate every day via phone and chat, but I can sense that he still feels so guilty.


Our lives have changed. Even after we decided to return home, our relationship was no longer the same. Rey always avoided me. He was more in his office. When it was time to eat we ate in silence. While sleeping, he never touched me again.


Until that night, when we had dinner. I can't let this situation go on much longer. There is also one thing I wanted to make sure of for a long time, that I wanted to know together with him.


"Yes..."


Mas Rey did not say, he still ate his food lazily.


"This is taking me somewhere." My word.


He glanced at me. "Where?"


"Later you know too."


We got ready and a few moments later we arrived at a clinic.


"This... Why are we here?" Ask Mas Rey.


I didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly as I got out of the car.


We entered the clinic, registered and waited for a queue. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were welcome to enter. Doctors examined me.


I was lying in a cage, with a device with a gel taped to my stomach. Our eyes were on a flat-screen TV mounted on the wall.


"Congratulations ma'am, sir, he's 5 weeks old. And he's healthy." The doctor said sumringah.


Me and Rey looked at each other. We smile happily. This is the best thing that has happened in the last few weeks. Good things are happening in the midst of our destruction.


Then we're back home. After changing clothes, I went back to the room and saw Mas Rey sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands holding the ultrasound results. He was so focused, I don't know what he was thinking that even I sat next to him, he still flinch at the photo of our baby candidate.


"Conscious of his future son, Mr. Reyhan." Candaku for a little lighten the gray atmosphere that over the past few weeks has always enveloped us.


Rey wiped her tears and stared at me. "They're so happy, honey." Her speech. But his face doesn't show that. I-i understand. Totally understand. He is happy, but on the one hand he is still unable to accept the harsh reality we are experiencing.


I grabbed that USG photo and saved it on the nightstand. I grabbed my husband's hands, and kissed his backs with love and respect.


I looked at him and smiled.


"Don't treat me like this, Dan. I don't deserve all your love." His voice shakes withstanding the crying.


"When do you want to be sad?" Tanyaku.


"You have done something evil with you. Why aren't you angry now?" My eyes are looking at me.


"Who said?" My tears are pooling. "I'm angry with you. So angry. I've been waiting for Mas to come home from Korea, but after Mas came home, Mas even brought news like that. My heart hurts, Mom." My crying broke and we were sobbing together again.


"But.." connect me after being able to control myself again. "Now I need more. I miss the same Mas. And the kangen's feeling it's all gone."


"How can you not be angry? You can get angry, hit Mas kayak that time. That's so bad, Dan." His issue.


I'm shaking. "I want that too, but I think there's someone who's always controlling my emotions. Now that I'm rasain just kangen keep the same Mas."


"Who controls your emotions?" Rey scrunched her forehead.


I carried one of Mas Rey's hands towards my stomach. "Boy Mas. He doesn't think I'm upset with his father."


Rey was sobbing at my words. "Sorry Mas... Sorry Mas..."


"Mas, as long as I'm at Mother's house, I am indeed sad and angry. But you know I don't feel like I'm the same Mas is much bigger than that. That's why I decided to come back here and make sure I'm pregnant or not. And it turns out I'm actually pregnant."


"So, when you said you had something you wanted to talk about it was about your pregnancy?"


I'm nodding. "I wasn't sure if I was pregnant or not. I want to know this news together Mas. That's why I'm waiting for you to come home."


Rey nodded her head. I scooped up Mas Rey's cheeks so I could look her in both eyes.


"Mas, me and Aunt Manda are now both speeding Mas." My heart ache returned, until my tears came back.


Rey shook her head, she knew where I was going.


I gathered up my courage, I ignored my pain, my reluctance and said, "Mas must marry Aunt Manda as soon as possible."
