Taking a four-hour trip with an enlarged stomach makes Dusk a little uncomfortable. But her desire to come to see her husband in the middle of the trial did not make it a barrier.
Baskara had forbidden him to come, but with his stubbornness, also with their son who he used as an excuse, made Baskara succumb. Although the young man still did not allow Dusk to drive his own car.
Be now Maureen who delivered the pregnant woman.
"When is the baby born? I'd rather babysit the baby than the mother." Maureen's complaint that had been disturbed by Dusk early in the morning was blind. They could have left earlier in the day. Only responded by Dusk with a mild curdiness.
"Do you not want to apply for leave from now on?"
"No." replied Dusk. "The doctor said the estimated birth of late December or early January. Anyway I won't be applying for leave. I'm gonna stay in college. Will only ask permission to take online classes when giving birth until recovery."
Maureen. He was amazed by his best friend. Why is it like never feeling tired with college and all her duties, even though she is pregnant.
He often complains of fatigue and so on. But why his best friend did not want to apply for leave during pregnancy until his son was born later. Is Dusk not too ambitious to graduate on time?
"Are you sure? did your husband and family allow that proposal? I think you're pushing too much."
Of course, Baskara and his family were strongly opposed. They are worried that Dusk will not be able to live it all. They are afraid that it will endanger Dusk and the baby.
But after the doctor assured Baskara that the condition of Dusk and their baby was very good and could still be invited to move as usual, the doctor felt it was not a problem.
But doctors also recommend that Dusk not too force yourself when you feel tired. Eat nutritious food and get enough rest. Also do not forget to routinely check the content.
And that's where her husband and family left everything to Dusk. Because only Dusk knows the condition of his own body.
"I also sometimes feel selfish with my baby. But I also want to graduate quickly to be able to return to Indonesia." the baby kicked right in his hand that rubbed gently.
"We fight together, baby?" inner Dusk.
Dusk heaved a heavy sigh, he wanted to live the household like everyone in general. Focus on her husband and child.
He did not want when his son grew up, he still had to struggle with college assignments. He wants to focus on the growth and development of his child after birth. Not wanting to share his attention with anything else during his son's golden years.
Maybe later when his son was born he still had a few months of college. But it's still better than if he had to repeat in the next semester.
When his son was three years old, he wanted to realize his dream to have his own boutique. That he will build from scratch in the city where he was born and grow up.
***
It was supposed to be Dusk to Cambridge last night to be with her husband from the start. But since Maureen had an event, they left this morning.
Upon arriving at the campus they asked the courtroom to the students they met in the parking area. But when they got to the front of the courtroom, Dusk did not find her husband. When Dusk asked the student who seemed to be waiting his turn, the young man said Baskara had finished the trial and was being called back inside to get the results of his hard work for four years.
Baskara who was waiting for the results but Dusk who felt tense. Be anxious about the results that will be obtained. Although she believes that her husband must have graduated. Even with the value obtained by her husband would be satisfying.
After waiting for some time, Baskara kular with a bright face. The young man was still unaware of his wife's presence.
It was seen Baskara talking to her friends and they said congratulations. Until their views meet. Smiles spread across both faces.
"Have you come, Ayy? from when?" with wide strides, Baskara approached and immediately carried his wife's body in an embrace.
It had been three days that they had not met, until the longing was so pronounced.
Proudly Baskara took out the documents and showed them to his wife. "I got A. Although it's just A-, ayy."
"Congratulations." twinkle the eyes in the eyes of Dusk. For him, the value of the husband is already extraordinary. Her husband only went to college for three years. "It's so cool."
"Thanks to the prayers of the two of you" said Baskara stroking gently his wife's stomach.
"Pity you've prayed daddy." whispered in front of his wife's stomach. Give them a kiss of love.
Dusk just smiled looking at her husband's interactions. Surely later when the child is born will look even sweeter. He was getting impatient waiting for the day of birth.
"I'm sorry I drove you if in the end I just look like an insect here." lamented Maureen who since Baskara came out of the courtroom was not seen there. But honestly he was happy to see his best friend happy with his little family.
Dusk chuckled at his friend who was pouting. Although he was sure Maureen was just pretending.
"Hi Rin's.. Thank you for bringing Dusk."
Maureen splashed with a twisting eyeball. "Congratulations to you. Said Dusk you wanted to be a scholar before your son was born."
Their conversation moved to a restaurant not far from there. Ordering so many meals to celebrate Baskara's graduation.
"Why aren't your friends coming?" Maureen was astonished that there were only three of them.
"My husband is not very close to his friends."
"You know, I get goosebumps when you call him my husband." Maureen showed her arms even though the feathers on her hands were not really standing. Welcomed the laughter of a husband and wife in front of him.
"Well, eat a lot to contain. Thin tummy time like this." Baskara gave the steak he had cut to his wife.
The body of the Sun has not changed. Only his stomach was growing. But since the doctor said there was nothing to worry about, so Dusk did not bother with his weight. It was difficult to gain weight in the past. So no wonder if her body does not change even though she is pregnant. And it was approved by Maureen.
"Would you feed him even one truck wouldn't make his body grow full."
Maureen does not speak Indonesian. But a little bit he understood.
"My body is the dream of women. Unlike you who have to diet a full day after last day you eat as much." plucked Dusk by sticking out his tongue.
Maureen. He was a little envious to see Dusk could eat anything he wanted without having to worry about his weight gain.
Contrasted upside down with him when one day he ate as much. In the next two days he should be satisfied with just eating vegetables and fruit.
"Yes.. Yep.. Yep.. If I eat greedy like you, tomorrow I'll turn into the Hulk."
It was impossible not to laugh hearing that. He really likes to tease his best friend.
