The time difference between Indonesia and India, makes Aji think if you want to contact his mother or other family members in Indonesia. He does not want to disturb their activities or rest periods.
That is why, Aji postponed when he wanted to give news to Mama Cilla, about the pregnancy of his wife, Elisha.
But Elisha had other thoughts. He wanted to immediately share this happy news with his family mama in Indonesia, especially with Mama Cilla. Because, Mama Cilla knows, if they both go to India, one reason is to be able to have a baby.
"Now just tell mom. Mama would have loved to hear this news" Elisha said with a whine.
"But, it is now night, dear" said Aji, asking Elisha to be patient, waiting for tomorrow morning only.
"But it's not too late. Mama and Papa haven't slept there either. They will be happy, hearing from us, sister" said Elisha again, as if he knew, if his parents-in-law there had not slept.
Aji, let out a long breath. He nodded at Elisha's request. Because it could be, what Elisha was thinking at this time was true, that his mother and father had not slept.
"If mom and dad had gone to bed, they would not have been bothered by this news from us" said Elisa again, who could not wait to contact her in-laws in Indonesia.
"good. Yeah-yes, I'll call mom or dad at home."
Finally, Aji complied with his wife's request. He felt, if this desire of Elisha was the request of his son as well, because he wanted to be known about his existence by opa and oma, in Indonesia. Papa Gilang and Mama Cilla.
Finally, Aji pulled out his phone. He'll call his mom and dad at home. Fortunately, he asked the driver to deliver them. So, Aji is free to call and does not need to stop first.
Tut. tut's...
Calls for mom Cilla not connected. Aji, try it one more time, make sure that her mother has not slept.
Tut. tut's...
Stay not lifted. The phone connection was cut off on its own, due to a long time waiting to be picked up. But apparently, the call from Aji, indeed no one answered him.
Aji, let out a long sigh, then looked towards his wife, Elisha. "Nobody lifts. Maybe you're asleep, or you're not near the phone" Aji said, telling his wife, Elisha.
"Try the number of papa Kak," suggested Elisha, because he was still not satisfied, if he had not given the news of his pregnancy, to his two parents-in-law.
"alright. Brother will try to call papa's phone number."
Finally, Aji called his papa. He hoped his father hadn't fallen asleep either.
Tut. tut's...
Almost Aji closed the call to his papa at the last second, when the phone connection was picked up by someone.
..."Hello Honey. How are you?"...
It was precisely Mama Cilla who picked up the phone on papa Gilang's cellphone, her husband.
..."Our good news Ma. Mom how? That's Mama's phone nobody picked up, Aji called earlier. And now when Aji calls papa it's Mama who picks up. What's up?"...
Aji so asked about things that are not so important and forgot his original purpose when he wanted to call Indonesia.
..."Oh, Mama's accompanying Papa in the study. Mama's phone, it's in the room. I'm sorry, Mama doesn't know, if you called earlier."...
..."Oh, thank goodness. Aji thought where and why."...
With a sigh of relief, Aji looked towards his wife, Elisha, with a smile. He wanted, so that Elisha himself told the news of this pregnancy, to Cilla's mother at home.
..."Elisha how are you? Where are you now?"...
..."Aji was on Ma's way, same Elisha."...
..."On the street with a phone call. Danger Honey!"...
..."The infirmary? Why are you, or is Elisha why?"....
Mama Cilla, asked frantically, upon hearing Aji's words about the hospital. He thought if something happened to Elisha or Aji in India. He does not know yet, if the child and his son-in-law, want to do a fertility test. But, it turns out that it is not needed at all, because Elisha, actually already contains at this time.
..."Aji and Elisha are okay. This is Elisa talking to Mama herself."...
..."Oh yeah where's Elisa?"...
The phone call in Aji's place became a video call. He wanted to see the expressions on the faces of his mother and father when he heard from Elisha now.
"Ma" called Elisha with a smile.
"Hi El, my daughter-in-law. How are you doing there, honey, at home?" asked Mama Cilla, when she saw the face of Elisha who was smiling.
Elisha looked to be nodding. Now, he was just unable to say anything more to Mama Cilla. Her throat was hard to speak, giving the good news to her mother-in-law.
"Hi, he said to talk. Even diem?" Mama Cilla, asked as Elisha was silent for a few minutes. She just smiled to herself and glanced at her husband, Aji, who was sitting next to her, in the back seat.
"I_it... El wants to. tell Mama that El, El is pregnant."
Finally, Elisha could open his mouth to give this news to Mama Cilla. He pointed the camera phone he was holding onto Aji's face.
"What's? Are you pregnant?" mama Cilla, shouted loudly with a face that was difficult to describe.
"Baby, Pa! Elisha's pregnant Pa!"
Mama Cilla, apparently calling her husband, who was at work. She was so eager to give the news, which she had just heard from Elisha, to her husband, Papa Gilang.
"really?" ask Papa Gilang, which is heard from the mobile phone. Mama Cilla, turn the camera towards her husband.
"Is that really El, Aji?"
Now, replace Papa Gilang who does not believe what he heard. She felt the surprise tonight made her not believe if this was real. Papa Gilang thought, if he was sleeping and dreaming, then awakened by his wife, to quickly wake up.
On the mobile screen that is now held by Papa Gilang, Aji and Elisha seemed to nod for sure. This makes Papa Gilang aware, if he is not dreaming.
"Papa thought, Papa was dreaming, and at the prank of dear mama. Congratulations, for you. Papa was glad to hear this news."
"Yes Dear. Congratulations too yes. Anyway, if you can go back to Indonesia again."
Mama Cilla asks Aji and Elisha to return to Indonesia. He wanted to see his son and daughter-in-law.
"We can't promise that Ma. But, we will try to go home, when Elisha will give birth later."
Mama Cilla's face, looks disappointed when she heard the answer from Aji. But, he immediately distracted the child and his daughter-in-law by saying, "yes it's okay. The important thing is, you take good care of Elisha. Take care of his emotions_as well, so that the state of mind and feelings of his heart is not
affects the fetus she's carrying."
Aji just nodded with a smile, hearing the words and advice from her mother. Elisha did the same thing as her husband.
"You guys be careful there. If there's anything or need something that doesn't exist in India, let me know. Mama will send it from Indonesia. Who knows, Elisha had a strange cravings and could not be found in India. Hehe..."
Elisha and Aji, laughing happily, as Mama Cilla said that. This was also Aji's mind.
"Yes yes Ma. We've reached home. Tomorrow, we'll tell you again. Good night Ma, Pa." Aji, ending her video call connection with her mom and dad. The car, which was carrying the two of them, had already entered the main courtyard of Sangkoer Singh's father's house.
"We'll make a surprise for Dad, by giving him this news, as soon as he greets us later," said Aji, holding Elisa's hand, to get out of the car.
