Halal Love of the Senior
Adapt New Habits

"Who came to Mas Adi's house, Mas? Not a bad guy, right? Adel's mom isn't anything, is she?" Rendra was asked questions by his wife as soon as he entered the living room. There are only three of them at home. Mother Goddess at the boutique, Shasha works and Nisa to the campus.

"Just ask one-on-one, honey." Rendra smiled as he stroked his wife's head.

"Living answered one-on-one can be, Mas." Dita turned sullen.

"Darling, ask to be kissed, his lips raised so," seduced Rendra so that his wife would not worry too much.

"Ish, Mas Rendra don't joke ah." Dita looked at her husband's annoyance.

Rendra smiled again. He sat behind his soulmate. He hugged his wife from behind. His head was resting on Dita's shoulder.

"Mas, why the hell?" Dita held Rendra's hand which was coiled in her stomach.

"Nothing. I'm gonna want to hug, honey." Rendra tightened her embrace.

"Don't be too tight, Mum. Shame on seeing Ale." Dita pointed at Ale who was staring at them while holding her toy.

"Let Ale know that baba loves each other and is always friendly." Rendra kissed Dita's hair.

"Mas, answer my question earlier," urged Dita who did not want to be complacent with Rendra's treatment.

"Which one, honey?"

"Yes all you are."

"The man was the courier who delivered the cake for Mas Adi. The courier's not bad, honey. I don't know who sent the cake had evil intentions or not. Adel is fine too." Rendra answered the wife's question at once.

"Who sent the cake, Mas?" Dita frowned.

"It looks like that woman."

"Who?" tanya Dita was curious.

"We met at Jakal (Kaliurang Road) the other day, dear."

"Oh, Ma'am Sekar."

Rendra nodded.

"Just say if it's Ma'am Sekar it can be, Mas."

"Lazy I said the woman's name" snorted Rendra.

Dita laughs. He recalled the time when they used to fight every time they met.

"Darling, why laugh?" Rendra was astonished to see his wife suddenly laughing.

"I remember the time we always fought. We never mentioned each other's names."

"And it turns out, our names have been engraved in each other's hearts. Honey, it's been stealing my heart from the very beginning we met."

"It's time, Mas. In fact, every time I meet the innate Mas ngajak nois continued."

"Say so, dear. I never hire to meet a girl. Usually I'm just sick of it, but since I first met honey, I've been renting it."

Dita laughs. "Am I the first woman to make Mas Rendra noisier?"

"Yes, Honey. Most women want to invite me to acquaintance or want to give me a gift."

Dita smile. "The way God brought us together is unique, Matt."

"It could be a story to our grandchildren later, dear." Rendra pressed her cheek against Dita's cheek.

"Yes, Mum."

"Mmmhh, uhhmm, uhhh." Ale rambles on his own while holding his toy, making Rendra and Dita turn their attention to the beloved son.

"Ale has been babbling a lot now, Mas."

"Yes, Honey. Tomorrow he can call baba or bubu first."

"We'll wait, Mommy."

"Oh yeah, I just remembered. Same darling Ale with Adel. Poor him at home."

"OK, Mum. Then I'll get Ale's gear ready first."

"I'll get ready, honey. Now that I take you next door, I'll go home and get Ale's gear."

"Both work, Mom. Just get the equipment ready for a minute."

"Later dear Ale will often go there. I bring clothes with me Ale equipment all to be stored there so as not every day carry it. Adel's been waiting for you guys for a long time."

"Mas, use the hugs of everything."

"It's okay to hug your own wife."

"Yes-yes. Yeah, I've been next door, poor little Adel alone."

"I'll drop you off, honey."

"I'm both the same Ale, Mum."

"Not both. I'm taking it, "Rendra insisted.

Taken by husband. He would not be allowed to leave if he remained reckless. She wore a hijab before putting Ale on the hat before carrying it. "We're going to bude's house, son."

After taking his wife and son, Rendra returned home. He contacted Adi while preparing Ale equipment.

"Where, Rend?" ask Adi without further ado.

"So the expedition courier came, wanted to deliver a cake for Mas Adi. The courier didn't know the name that sent the cake, but he could name his traits. He said it was white-."

"Surely Sekar sent it."

"Looks, Mas. I was sure he wasn't following us home. But I heard at first glance that he's paying people to find info, Mas."

"Astaghfirullah, what does he want."

"Don't he want to go back with Mas Adi?"

"That's the impossible and it won't happen, Rend. Even if I don't see Adelia, I won't go back and marry Sekar."

"Yes. I know, Mas."

"You don't tell me about this same Adel, do you, Rend?"

"No, Mas. I told you the same story at a glance Dita."

"Thank God. Don't let Adel know about this. She's still pregnant young, I don't want to add to her mind's burden."

"Ready, Mas. I just told Adel that the courier had the wrong address."

"Thank you, Rend. Sorry, you're gonna have to lie."

"Lying for good, right, Mom."

"Hhmm, yes."

"Now Dita is with Ale is accompanying Adel, Mas. I'm at home by myself. I was deliberately looking for a reason to be free to call Mas Adi."

"Yes, later Adel will suspect that he knows you called me secretly. Yeah, Rend, I'm closing first. We'll talk at home again."

"Yes, Mum."

Rendra resumed his activities after hanging up Adi's phone.

Meanwhile at Adi's house, the three of them were in the living room. Ale lay on his tiny bed. While Adelia and Dita sit on the carpet while leaning on the sofa.

"When do you start college, Dek?" ask Adelia.

"Ale so it's not being pinned down here?"

"Mr Adel, she is pregnant. I don't want Mbak's tiredness taking care of Ale. If something happens with your pregnancy, I will be blamed for Mas Adi. Let Mas Rendra just Ma'am. If there's a mother here, I don't mind. God willing, if I don't go to college, I'm going to play here with Ale, Ma'am."

Adelia felt a little disappointed by Dita and Rendra's decision. However, he also knew it was for his own good.

"Ale was actually invited here if Dek Dita did not go to college?"

"God willing, Ma'am." Dita smiled at her sister-in-law. "Where's the pregnancy? It's smooth, isn't it, Mommy?"

"Alhamdulillah, so far smoothly. Good luck until I give birth, huh, Dek."

"Aamiinu. God willing, Ma'am. Anyway, if there is something different from usual just contact Lita's doctor, Ma'am."

"Yes, Deck. Yesterday Doctor Lita said so too."

"When is the control schedule again, Ma'am?"

"Two weeks, Deck. I can't wait to see the results of the USG." Adelia stroked her flat stomach while smiling widely.

Dita smiled to see the happiness of her sister-in-law.

"Dek, yesterday pas pregnant feel often suspicious or jealous not the same Rendra?"

Dita shaking. "I don't remember, Ma'am. I'm just more sensitive and can't sleep if I'm not hugged by Mas Rendra. Is Mama Adel suspicious and jealous of Mas Adi?"

Adelia nudges. "Yes, Deck. I don't know where the thought came from. But the innate so continues. Sometimes I feel sorry for Mas Adi because of that. But I can't control my feelings either."

"God willing Mas Adi will not turn away from Mbak Adel. Mas Adi is very much in love with Ma'am." Dita clasped Adelia's hand. Convince the sister-in-law.

"Yes. I know, Deck. I'm always grateful to have a husband like Mas Adi. An amazing husband who accepts me for who I am. Watching me with all his heart. Is it possible that I'm so afraid of losing Mas Adi because there are many women around?"

Dita cringing. "As far as I know Mas Adi doesn't have many female friends, Ma'am. If there are many acquaintances."

"That's an intern in Mas Adi's office. There are some women. One of them is odd, try to approach Mas Adi. When was I invited to Mas Adi's office, introduced all interns including the odd one."

Dita laughs little. "How do you do it, Mother?"

"Yes, I just saw the guy. Uh, he's finally getting away on his own, Dek." Adelia snickered after telling a story.

"It's good to be self-aware, Ma'am."

"Yes, Deck. But I'm still upset that I remember that weird woman."

"Yes don't remember, Ma'am. Just think about the things that make Adel happy. That mummified heart and mind must always be happy" Dita advised.

"My idea is so, Dek. But yes it was strange thoughts always arise when I tried to forget the thing that makes me unhappy." Adelia took a long breath.

"I'm even more upset when I think of his name Sekar. Dek Dita, do you know his name Sekar?" Adelia looked at her sister-in-law.

Dita is idle in responding to Adelia. "I'm sorry, Mommy?"

"Strong is a woman who is selfless and shameless. He rejected Mas Adi. Once she divorced her husband, she approached Mas Adi again. Rich he deserves to be waited for Mas Adi? It's not."

"Mas Adi has long moved on kok from Mbak Sekar," said Dita.

"Eat it, Deck. So the women kok ge-er-an, thought Mas Adi was still waiting for him. Where I'm not at all considered the same to him. If I don't remember a sin, I might have killed him, Dek."

"Astaghfirullah, how come to such a thought, Ma'am?"

"I'm so upset, Dek." Adelia looks emotional.

"Already, Ma'am, don't think about it again. Now Adel just focus on the same pregnancy, no need to think about such an unimportant thing. Believe the same Mas Adi, he will not do things that disappoint Mbak Adel." Dita stroked Adelia's arm.

"Don't use our energy for things that aren't beneficial. We just focus on what makes us happy. Absorb the positive energy from around and waste the existing negative energy," continued Dita.

"Yes-yes, Deck. Why do I think of them. I have Mas Adi and our son-in-law. I also have a family that loves and takes care of me. I got you all." Adelia hugged her sister-in-law.

"Yes, Mommy." Dita stroked Adelia's back. They hugged each other for a while, and only let go of each other when they heard Ale was about to cry.

"Hekk, hekk."

"Ale why? What is dicuekin?" Dita refocused on her only son.

"Sorry bude ya even invite bubu chat so Ale dicuekin." Adelia stroked Ale's piercing cheeks.

"It's been Ale's drinking milk, isn't it, Dek?" Adelia turned to Dita.

"Yes, in a minute, ma'am. Mas Rendra really long time to bring Ale equipment." Dita then carried Ale mebek. He held Ale to calm him down.

"What's it gonna take, Dek?"

"The bottle's Ale, Ma'am. Get used to him drinking from a bottle. Yesterday when I was living on campus, he had time to take a drink from a bottle."

"Sorry old, honey. I was just looking for Ale's new toiletries." The awaited rendra, finally came. He was carrying a large bag containing his son's equipment.

"Bring the bottle Ale, right, Mas?" Dita looked at her husband.

Rendra immediately pulled out the bottle that had been prepared. "Here, the bottle."

She received a bottle from her husband. He then positioned Ale to suckle. He pointed the milk bottle into Ale's tiny mouth. "Bismilahbornrahmanirrahim."

Unexpectedly Ale refused to drink the milk from the bottle. He turned his face away and even searched Dita's chest. Every time Dita pointed the tip of the bottle, she always turned away. Ale was crying even louder.

"No more drinking of milk with a bottle" murmured Dita. Finally she decided to breastfeed Ale. And, as soon as the peak of his mother's chest went into the mouth, Ale immediately sucked out strongly.

"We'll try again later, honey. Let me give him a bottle of milk later. Maybe he knew there was a bubble so he wanted to drink milk directly." Rendra calmed his wife.

Dita nodded. "Yes, Mum."

"Yesterday also finally wanted to drink milk with a bottle after being really hungry, dear."

"But it would be a pity to wait for Ale to starve, Mas." Dita stroked Ale's piercing cheeks while looking at her son.

"Well, how else, baby. Because there's no way Ale's going to college. Maybe because it is still early, he is also still adapting and not used to it. Soon Ale will get used to it."

"I agree with what Rendra said, Dek. We adults also need to adapt to new things, especially Ale who is still a baby. It must not be easy for him either. Usual suckle with his mother keep changing bottles." Adelia chimed in.

Dita nudging. "Yes, Mommy."

"This is in my opinion, Dek, it's up to you to be accepted or not. If Dek Dita is at home, is it not better to breastfeed directly? Deck Time Dita same Ale will be less, if breastfeeding directly can be quality time you two. Surely Ale also wants to continue with his bubble."

"Yes too, Ma'am. It was meant to make Ale practice drinking milk with a bottle, Ma'am. But look at him crying, I'm not so bad."

"Keep, Ale's gonna want to have a bottle of milk, Dek. It just takes process and time. Slowly he will also get used to it and be able to accept."

"Yes, Mother. Hopefully we can both adapt quickly."

"Aamiin's."

"I'm also still adapting to my unstable mood. Getting pregnant is not as easy as it seems. The struggle to get pregnant, during pregnancy, until giving birth is not an easy thing" said Adelia.

"Rubber, Ma'am. Not later if pregnant is already large, engap taste. Be lived, enjoyed and grateful, Ma'am. There's still a lot of women out there fighting to get pregnant."

Adelia nodded. "Yes, Deck. Especially if you are constantly asked when you are pregnant. People often don't think how the person being asked feels. They were just busy looking for flaws and commenting on other people's lives."

Dita smile. "Such questions will not stop even if you are pregnant. Will I be asked when will the child be born? When your child is older, when does he graduate from college? When did his son get married? It's not going to end."

"Ck, how complicated it is to take care of others." Adelia clucking.

"We better focus on our lives together, Ma'am. No need to care about people. Keep doing good things and always think positive. We must not interfere in matters that are none of our business."

"Yes, Deck."
