After work, Aisyah kept the test pack into a drawer. Although he wanted to try immediately, in fact the doubt was still royal. He did not want to be careless until he ended up disappointed. With the remaining energy, Aisyah immediately prepared dinner for him and Bayu.
Sambal terasi, lalapan cucumber, omelet there is also tofu and fried tempeh feels appetizing. His saliva seemed impatient to immediately mix with the sauce he was mashing. Not forgetting crackers become a complement.
“May mas Bayu come home soon so I can quickly eat,” muttered while arranging all the food on the dining table. While waiting for the arrival of Bayu, he also cleaned himself.
Her tired body felt refreshed after a shower. No matter what the wind, suddenly he wanted to dress up. Things he never did after an afternoon shower. If it is usually enough to comb the hair and powder sprinkle, this time he added a nude lipstick polish. Not thick, just thin, but make Aisyah's face more sweet.
Doubtful, he rubbed his stomach gently. “You're really there, honey? If you really exist, you should be fine there, yes, until the time we meet arrives.” His smile could not be hidden. There is a sense of happiness in the chest.
The sound of the phone ringing stopped his activities rubbing the stomach while talking to the prospective baby. Diana's name appeared on the main screen, she swiped the green icon. “Assalamu’alaikum,” sapanya.
“Wa’allaikumsalam.”
“Why, Dek?”
“Mbak Aish okay?”
“Iya. Healthy mom. You're healthy there too, right?”
“Di, healthy, Mbak.”
The conversation between the brother and sister just flowed. It looks so good because laughter is also there. Aisha had not seen her sister for a long time. Four months ago, Diana had to attend an event in Makassar, until now has not returned home because after from Makassar, had to go to Bali.
“Oh, yes, I when was given a funny conversation?”
Aisyah simply laughed in response to the sister's question. The question never goes away every time Diana calls him.
“Mbak Aish. Mbak same mas Bayu does not plan to delay momongan, right?”
In the rest of her laughter, Aisyah responded to the sister's annoyance, “Mbak same mas not nunda, really. Just pray, Dek. Hopefully this time you can really make a funny move.”
“Wah ...,” exclaim Diana with a splash. I don't know what he did there because he was so happy. “Emang Mbak Aish is late?”
“It's been a week late, but I haven't dared to test.”
“Paints in test, Ma'am. I can't wait.”
“Freely pounded if you don't want to snack.”
“Ish, who said? I will definitely take care of my ponakan.”
“Mana you can take care of, your people are just wandering, never go home.”
“He ... he ...”
Almost 30 minutes they spent longing over a phone call, until the sound of the door being knocked made Aisyah and Diana end the phone call.
“Whose phone is the same, Dek? It's exciting like.” It turned out that Aisyah's voice was heard outside the house.
“Same Diana, Mas.”
“Oh, when does he come home? It's been a while, right, Diana didn't come home.”
“Say two more months if so, out of Bali, I want to go to Manado.”
“Definitely seneng, yes, can walk on.”
“Diana working, Mas,” protest Aisyah.
“Kan, can while walking,” said Bayu, “aku shower first.” Bayu passed to take a shower immediately. He himself can not stand the smell of gasoline and oil that stings, what about Aisyah.
After bathing and changing clothes, Bayu rushed to the dining table, but his gaze was fixed on the sweet face of his wife.
“Why, Mas?” aish asked as Bayu looked at her.
“Tumben disposable lipstick. What wind is there?”
“Again pingin dandan, Mas.”
“Truly just dantin and aja?”
Aisyah squeaking staring at Bayu, “I mean, Mas?”
Instantly Aisyah pushed Bayu's chest slowly. He saw the face of Bayu who was smiling. “His mind please be conditioned, yes! Aish is laper, Mas. Ayok eat!” bring Aisyah.
Bayu smiled at the wife's behavior. Although upset, in fact Aisyah's cheeks still blushed because of the husband's words. Bayu and Aisyah ate voraciously.
“Tumben added, Dek?” asked Bayu when he saw Aisyah adding rice in her plate.
“Aish lager bang.”
Bayu only shook his head at the wife's behavior, until at the last bribe, Aisyah stopped chewing. The nausea suddenly strikes.
“Why?” Bayu astonished to see the change in the look of the face of the wife.
Without answering any questions from Bayu, Aisyah smothered her mouth and ran to the bathroom. All food that makes it into the stomach is forced to go outside all. Aisyah held onto her stomach which continued to violently churn.
Bayu who had noticed earlier finally caught up with Aisyah to the bathroom. His right hand massaged Aisyah's nape, while his left hand was used to cover her nose due to the unpleasant smell of vomit. After cleaning the bathroom due to vomit, Bayu brought Aisyah to sit back at the dining table.
“Eat him do not maruk. Eat, like a person who doesn't eat for a week. Eat it a little bit also not pa-pa, which is important stomach to the contents.” Bayu grumbled because Aisha had lost her appetite. However, even so he still took a glass of water for Aisyah.
Aisyah just fell silent to the ravings of Bayu. He wiped the corner of his watery eyes from the vomiting earlier. His body feels weak 80% now he believes that what he thinks is right.
“Mas,” call Aisyah with a wedge.
“Hem.”
“Aish to say.”
Bayu who was cleaning dirty dishes to put in the sink shifted his attention to Aisyah.
“What?” asked Bayu after sitting next to Aisha.
Aisyah tried to gather energy and courage to talk about her who had missed her period. “Aish is already a week late,” he said softly.
Bayu squeaked, trying to digest what Aisyah had just told him. “You pregnant?” tanyanya after understanding the direction of the wife's conversation. His eyes sparkled expectantly.
“Ehm, actually Aish has not tested. But, looking at the symptoms that Aish felt, it seemed like Aish was pregnant.”
“Why not immediately on the test?”
“Ehm, Aish hesitate. According to Mas, Aish should test now what is two weeks late?”
“Tes now, Aish! If indeed you are pregnant, we can immediately check to the midwife,” said Bayu excitedly.
Smile etched on the face of Ais saw Bayu who was enthusiastic to welcome the prospective baby. His heart was relieved, when he saw Bayu happy. Not without reason Aisyah is so happy. Because all this time, Bayu never mentioned about children. The Bayu want to only make baby dedek, but do not necessarily talk about how many children want or want to immediately get the prospective baby.
“Then Aish test first, yes.”
Bayu nodded excitedly. His heart was engulfed in a raging sense when he saw Aisyah closing the bathroom. Aisyah reading instructions for use of the test pack. He didn't want to make a mistake because he only had one. After holding the urine in a plastic glass used in mineral water, Aisyah also dipped the tool into the urine. Not to forget the word ‘Bismillah’ accompanies in the heart.
Aisyah's heart was timid. Deg-degan. He was afraid if the results did not match what he and Bayu expected.
After almost a minute Aisyah dipped the tool, now she with trembling hands saw the results. Tears just rolled from the corner of his eye. Gratefully she says ‘hamdallah’. Aisyah rushed outside from the bathroom. Bayu who had not calmed down because he waited immediately approached Aisyah.
“How?”
There was no response from Aisha. However, with the two red lines that appear from the test pack it has convinced Bayu if his wife is now pregnant.
“Alhamdulilah,” said Bayu while bringing Aisyah into the arms. Silence, no more sounds were heard except for Aisyah's sobs. They hugged in silence.
“Hopefully with the presence of our baby you can change, yes, Mas. Hopefully we can be good parents for our children later, Aisyah's inner” while tightening her arms.
