"Miss, can I sit here?" Ask a man who approaches Tifanny.
Tifanny turned to the source of the voice. A well-looking man with his bag was smiling at him.
"Please!" Answer Tifanny. He turned his attention back to the phone in his hand.
"Miss, are you a student here?" Ask the young man. He sat himself in a chair near Tifanny.
"No," Tifanny replied briefly.
"I thought you were a student here. I'm a post-graduate student at this college," the young man smilingly watched Tifanny play with her gadget.
"Oh. What majors?" Tifanny replied just to make small talk.
"Psychology Department," the man replied kindly.
Tifanny just nodded. The man smilingly watched Tifanny's face which felt very sweet and graceful.
"Miss, can I ask for your phone number?" Said the man carefully.
"No way," replied someone who was suddenly behind Tifanny. Tifanny recognized the voice very well, a voice that was very familiar to her.
Tifanny turned her head, she saw Nino standing behind her with a blasphemous look.
"Darling? Let's go home!" Nino smiled at Tifanny.
"Who is he, baby?" Nino glanced at the man earlier.
"He's a post-student here" Tifanny calmly chimed.
"You're married, Miss?" Ask the man to know.
"Yes. I'm her husband" Nino answered quickly.
"Oh so. Then I'll leave here, miss. I have class" the man hurriedly carried his bag and left.
"Just playing around to Meghan's college you're already acquainted with a man" Nino snickered angrily at his wife.
"Introduction? I didn't know him, '" Tifanny denied.
"That was getting acquainted!" Nino was adamant about her assessment.
"I didn't know him. Why don't you trust me?" Tifanny's eyes are glazed. Nino flinched when she saw his wife's eyes watering.
"Darling, sorry!" Nino felt guilty.
"That's it, there's no need to apologize. Lately you've been acting differently to me" Tifanny shed her tears.
"Different how?" Nino seemed to not understand.
Tifanny stood up and did not answer the question from her husband. She walked in front of Nino and left her husband still standing in his seat.
"Sister? I'm done," Meghan walked over to Tifanny.
"Eh there's Brother Nino. Coincidentally then. Let's go home!" Meghan smiled when she saw her sister-in-law. At least they do not need to intercept and take a taxi.
"Big brother why?" Meghan watched Tifanny cry.
"No. Brother's eyes are flashing!" Tifanny walks first towards the parking area leaving Nino and Meghan.
On the way the atmosphere looked silent, Nino did not try to persuade his wife because there was Meghan in the car. After reaching the yard, Tifanny got out of the car without saying a word to Nino and Meghan.
"Big brother why?" Ask Meghan to Nino.
"Pregnant mothers' mood is up and down" the blue-eyed man said.
Nino and Meghan got out of the car. Nino immediately caught up with Tifanny who entered the room.
"Dear, I'm sorry!" Said Nino while hugging Tifanny who was behind her.
"You changed," Tifanny sobbed. She let go of her husband's hand that was coiled around her body.
"Change how?" Nino was confused.
"After I found out you were pregnant, you never touched me. Am I boring to you now?" Tifanny's getting sob.
"Darling, why are you thinking that way? Ever since you got pregnant, I've been finding out about pregnancy info. I read a post in the community of pregnant mothers. Some say if having sex during pregnancy can harm the fetus. Therefore, I was all my might trying not to touch you first" Nino explained the reason.
"You lied, right?" Tifanny seemed to distrust her husband's words.
"No. I just want to make sure our son is okay. Moreover, your pregnancy has just stepped on the first trimester," explained Nino.
"Not only that. Ever since I was pregnant you kept a roll in the middle of the bed as if you didn't want to be near me" Tifanny wiped her tears.
"That's because my sleep can't be quiet. I'm afraid to kick your stomach or something, so I've been keeping a roll in our midst lately."
"Here you go, I don't want to hear anymore. Take your pillow from here!" Tifanny took a pillow and threw it towards Nino.
"Darling, did you tell me to sleep outside?" Nino asked sadly.
"Get out! I want to be alone."
"Alright then," Nino exhaled violently.
"You didn't try to persuade me first? Why did you just give up? You really don't want to sleep with me?" Tifanny yells.
"Geez, baby!" Nino grabbed her own hair.

"What's? You swallowed?" Alden asked with a face that was getting frustrated.
"Yes, it looks like I swallowed a gold coin," Bianca scratched her hair.
"Geez! Come with me!" Alden pulled Bianca's hand from his chair. Alden took Bianca to the sink that visitors used to wash their hands.
"Blow it out!" Alden nipped Bianca.
"What did I swallow?" Bianca said innocently.
"Ah done. Just throw it out first!" Alden raised his voice.
"Don't come out" Bianca said a few minutes later, and she spewed out the ring Alden had kept in the ice cream bowl.
"What did you keep?" Bianca turned her head towards Alden who was standing behind her.
"Forget it!" Alden left Bianca and sat down again in his chair.
5 Minutes later, Bianca catches up with Alden. He saw the young man bend his face.
"Let's go home!" Invite Alden excitedly.
"But we haven't eaten yet" Bianca protested.
"Wrap it!" The answer.
Alden ordered waitress to wrap all their food. The application that Alden had designed immediately vanished.
"Alden?" Call Bianca when they're on their way.
Alden didn't answer Bianca's questions.
"If you leave me like this, you better put me down here!" Bianca began to lose patience with the silent atmosphere that enveloped them.
Alden stopped the car.
"What did I actually eat?" Bianca turned her head towards the man who was sitting excitedly in the driver's seat.
"Nothing" said Alden with a face that was crisp.
Bianca opened her small bag. He took something out of there.
"You gave me a ring?" Bianca showed me the ring she had swallowed.
Alden's eyes were round in surprise.
"That ring came out of your gut?" Alden stared at the ring with a sparkle.
"Of course not. I tried to throw up again and the ring came out with the ice cream I just ate. So, what does this mean?" Bianca asked again.
"Emm-it-" Alden suddenly awkward himself.
"What?" Bianca.
"You'll see it's a ring. What else?" Alden was frustrated by Bianca's attitude.
"Then? Why do you keep the ring in an ice cream bowl. You want to make me choke?"
"Why don't you understand too?" Alden raised his voice.
"Why are you always acting so annoying? It was silent, now you're yelling at me. I'll just get off here" Bianca took off the safety belt that was coiled around her body and got out of Alden's car.
Alden rubbed his own face. He had never proposed to a girl before. Alden looked at Bianca who was walking away from her car. Alden got out of his car and chased Bianca.
"It looks like the most stupid female predicate is worth pinning for you!" Alden shouted that made Bianca's steps come to a halt instantly.
"What do you mean?" Bianca has an unfriendly face.
Alden walked closer and closer to Bianca.
"Yes you're so stupid. You don't understand what I'm doing tonight. I've brought you a romantic dinner, I've put the ring in your ice cream bowl. Why don't you understand all this?" Alden held onto both of Bianca's shoulders.
"I know," Bianca's face sparkled.
"You must want to ask me to play a riddle. Didn't you?" Bianca smile.
"Geez, Ca! Is it in your brain right now that there's a storm that you don't understand?" Alden shakes Bianca's shoulder.
"You mean like Squidward's brain? I've seen it. It was in the episode Squidward became cheerful because he was shocked by the trap he set himself. Her stormy brain suddenly turns into a rainbow" Bianca recounts her favorite cartoon scene.
"Bianca!!!!" Alden looked worried.
"Where's the ring?" Alden raised his hand.
Bianca kept the ring on Alden's palm. Surprisingly, Alden squabbled in front of Bianca.
"The ca? I'm taking you to dinner, keeping this ring in your ice cream because I want to tell you something. I don't want to be stuck in a pseudo-relationship, one in which there is only momentary pleasure. I want to knit a relationship, where I not only feel pleasure, but feel the joy of grief and struggle with someone I have chosen to be my life companion. And I choose you to be my life partner, to be the mother of my children, to be the grandmother of my grandchildren. Ca, will you breed with me?" Alden took Bianca's hand.
"You proposed to me? Waitaminute! Proliferating? You think I'm a chicken!" Bianca pursed her lips.
"I'm errat. Does that mean you'll be my wife?" Alden smiled at the girl he had never thought existed in his life.
"You really proposed to me?" Bianca closed her lips.
"Jawab only!" Alden was impatient.
"Let's be dramatic a little bit like in the reality show, you know," Bianca mendelik annoyed.
"So, yes or no?" Alden looked impatient.
"Alden, are you willing to accept me? Accepting family? You know my family is not on par with yours. I am also a former office girl. While you are a young graduate master and from the best campus in the world. Your father is not a random person either," Bianca smiled bitterly.
"I don't care about any of that. I not only accept you but I am ready to accept your whole family. Our parents are friends after all. So, what are you worried about?" Alden said softly.
"I don't care if you're an ex-office girl or whatever. I look at you as just Bianca, not an ex-office girl or anything else" Alden continued.
"Do you really love me?" Ask Bianca full of curiosity.
"You see it how? If I play around with you, I will definitely not propose to you. Come on, just accept it! My knee hurts from a small stone!" Alden looked at his knees.
Bianca laughed at the look on her lover's face.
"Alright I want to," Bianca nodded. Alden also put the ring on the ring finger of his future wife.
"Thank you" Alden woke up and pulled Bianca into his arms.
"I promise to make you happy" he whispered.
