MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
ELAPSED TIME..

Time passed, seconds changed minutes, minutes changed hours, hours changed days, days changed weeks and weeks changed months. Two months since Mega's departure, Alex has never been desperate to find her. Although interspersed with work, but he never tired or give up.

His determination to find Mega and bring Mega home is more and more unanimous when he remembers that this month is the ninth month of Mega pregnancy. The woman must be in trouble, especially Mega did not bring enough money for the cost of childbirth and the needs after giving birth later. Given that, Alex is increasingly in the midst of guilt, anxiety is also sad.

Some people he sent to look for Mega, in aid of Sky he finally found a clue that Mega had boarded public transportation to the area bogor.

Orange already knew about the departure of Mega one week after the brother left. Alex couldn't hide that much longer. Mega's family should know about her and Mega's circumstances.

Alex still remembered the anger of his father-in-law, he even rewarded many raw bogems. But he didn't fight back, he took it as punishment for him. Not to mention the slap of Orange and mother, the pain until now he still remembers. Not because of the slap, but because of the look of disappointment from them. Also their request about her divorce and Mega.

Of course Alex refused, he did not want to part with his wife, he loved Mega, a little bit unsettled in his mind to release the woman through the path of separation.

While Mega, the woman works at the rice stall Bu War also lives there with the old woman. Lucky Bu War is very good and understands the condition of her pregnancy. Mega has also told her life story to the old woman. Not judging, Bu War actually strengthens Mega and always provides the moral and material support that Mega needs during her pregnancy.

Like this morning, Bu War accidentally closed his stall to accompany Mega to check the pregnancy in the local midwife. Although not going to the doctor, but midwife service in the area is very good. Mega felt comfortable, she entrusted the pregnancy and birth of her baby to the midwife. Moreover, the birth of HPL prospective children is near, about two or one week away.

“Aready, son?” Asked Bu War, she confirmed the location of her slightly tilted hijab, then approached Mega who was still sitting on the side of the bed.

“Already mom, mom is ready?” Ask Mega back.

Bu War nodded, smiled and took Mega by the arm and led her out of the small house behind her back. “Mother is impatient, mother's grandson must be handsome.” said bu War enthusiastically.

The gender of her future son Mega is indeed male, one week after Mega lived with War's mother, the old woman forced her to check her pregnancy to the hospital there. And from the USG examination, it is known that the sex of the baby is male.

“Amiiin, and the maternal grandchild will be as good as the mother later,” timpal Mega.

“You could've made mom's nose fly. Already, we have to hurry, later the hunting of his midwife went to the puskesmas. Midwife's house is not too far from there, just a few minutes walk has arrived. But the distance to the health center is quite far, must use ojeg or angkot.

Mega nodded with a laugh, Bu War could always make him laugh. It was Bu War who always comforted her when she remembered Alex or missed him. Two months apart made his longing for Alex pile up into a mountain, a mountain that was ready to explode at any time if he was not good at calming himself.

He had spent his nights crying. Crying his longing for Alex was also his regret that had lied to the man for so long. In the early days of living there, Mega even often daydream, cry and stay in the room if the work is done. But Bu War patiently consoled him, making Mega slowly get up and move on with her life well. Although sometimes he still cries when his longing for Alex is not restrained.

“The path is slow, son.” pinta bu War.

“Loh bu, would be afraid bu Bidannya go.”

“True too,” murmur bu War, “But be careful, you are walking like not a pregnant woman. Mother until overwhelmed to follow you, pity mother's grandchild, in there she must cape, or protest can not.”

The sentence again made Mega laugh, he took Bu War's arm and guided the woman to walk with him.

But the sound of the car horn behind them makes them slow down and a little more filling. Maybe Mega is too walking, understandably, the streets there are not too wide. The horn sound was heard again when Mega and Bu War were about to walk again, they then turned their heads.

With Mega's widened eyes slowly releasing her arms on War's bu's arm, the woman took a few steps back. His chest was tight, rumbling and urging his eyes to let out water.

“Mas..” Og Mega.

Bu War looked at Mega, then turned to look at the handsome man who looked crying near the car. He was trying to digest the incident in front of him, was guessing who was the handsome man who called Mega with affection.

With a quick step the man approached Mega, then hugged the woman tightly. The crying became clearer. Mega even closed her eyes tightly, convincing herself that she was not dreaming.

“This is you, mas?” Ask with a witty.

Alex nodded, he tightened his arms, “Yeah, it's me. I'm looking for you everywhere, why did you leave me?” Ask Alex as he sobs.

“Sorry..” Mega.

A small kick from down there made Alex realize something, he too tightly hugged Mega, “Gosh, sorry son. Papa forgot.” he said. He broke his hold, then squatted down Mega's distended stomach several times. “Papa missed you too.”

Now Bu War understood, the man was her husband Mega. Somehow he also shed tears, there were feelings that he could not express. Two months with Mega made him so fond of the woman. She is happy that Mega has finally met her husband again, but on the one hand she is sad, maybe Mega will leave her.

“Nak, we should go back home,” said Bu War. He did not want them to be the spectacle of some people passing through them.

Mega nods, he invites Alex to go to War's house. “We talk at home mom yes mas,” he said.

Alex nodded his head, he took Mega and Bu War to his car, but the distance from there to Bu War's house was not too far away. But Alex forced.

"Please sit down, ma'am. I'll get you a drink, wait a minute." said Mega as soon as they entered the house.

"Son, let me make it. You sit down, there must be a lot you want to talk about" mother suggested.

"But ma'am, I must be tired." refused Mega.

"Who said you were tired? You know mom, right? This mother is a magical old woman, mother never feels tired.."

Mega smiled, eventually nodding and sitting next to Alex. His heart was pounding again as Alex clasped his hand.

"Come home with me, I'm worried about you. Everyone is worried about you, baby." said Alex, he was so eager to re-hug the woman.

"But I.."

"Please baby, please come back. We'll start all over. I'm sorry I hurt you, don't punish me anymore.."

"Mas, I.."
