The Former
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

One week after Vino returned home. Coinciding with one week after Rey's surgery.

"Bun. The day after tomorrow, Mamah wants to come here. He said he would take a few days" said Vino, sitting next to me.

"Seriously Well? The tumben? What's he gonna do?" I said directly asking.

"Don't do that. No matter how Mamah is, she's Papah's wife. Mamah I," he said trying to soften me.

"Step-friend! Inget, Stepmom! She is not your Mom, so I am not obligated to honor her," I said sniffling as I threw my legs and half-bed on the sofa.

Mama Renata (stepmother of Vino) married Papa Adit (Father of Vino) one month after my marriage to Vino. Although Vino did not approve, but Papa Adit still kekeh and continue to hold a marriage. Six months later, Papa Adit got sick and died. Ever since I met Mama Renata, I haven't had the slightest feeling of pleasure towards her. My dislike for him was not without cause. Since I married Vino, Mama Renata who was then still Papa Adit's fiancee, has been very late to interfere in our household affairs.

My memory also brought me back to the incident where Vino who was so respectful to Mama Renata like his own real mother, really regretted bringing Mama Renata into Our home.

"You pregnant, Shay? Seriously you're pregnant?" mama Renata asked in disbelief.

"Alhamdulillah. Yes, Tasya is pregnant Mah. It was in the seventh week of her gestational age," said Vino who immediately answered Mama Renata's question.

I'm just smiling. There was a dislike for the question that Mama Renata asked me. It's not strange the question. But his face was strange. Like not liking.

"Are you sure this is your son, Vin?" ask Mama Renata again who is increasingly testing my emotions.

"Lohs. What do you mean Mamah? What does Mama mean?" I said a little raise my tone.

"What do you mean Mamah? You meet rarely. Vino comes home once a month. Are you sure that's Vino's son?" he said it made Vino look at me.

After marriage Vino was promoted to Hong Kong for promotion training, for one year. With a return vacation schedule to Jakarta once a month, a three-day leave period each month.

"Astagfirullah Mah's. Don't talk so much. It's the same slander" I said in self-defense.

Vino frowned more and more.

"Tasya almost every day met with Viko. You don't play believe so. When you get pregnant. Musti questioned who his son is!" said Mama Renata who keeps pumping Vino.

"Viko is my sister-in-law and best friend, Mah. After all, we meet every day is a business, not another. Vicko is Vino's brother. There's no way I'm playing with him, Mah. I'm still sane!" I said I denied Mama Renata's accusation.

Viko, Vino's sister. Viko did work at the Company where Vino and I worked as well. Vino hired him. Our familiarity is very popular among office colleagues. Up to a lot of rumors that think me and Vicko cheating. But it was looked up by Vino. He believed in us, that there was no way we could do it.

"May ... You know how close you are to Viko. Don't worry about seeking justification" he said, angering me more at his words.

"I never did anything like Viko! We also have nothing to do but a brother and sister! This is pure Vino's son! Why is Mamah always my mojokin? Yes, Mom, did you talk to me? What am I wrong?" I said with a shout between Vino and Mama Renata.

"Tasha! it's not polite to shout so in front of Mom! You should ask yourself. What is your fault? Why did you talk like this? It's not without reason!" gertak Vino makes my gialiku a little shrivel.

Vino has a lot of respect for Mama Renata. His Mother's Substitute. I impeached. But not for now. I who was slandered and in a corner like this should have a direct defense from Vino, my husband. Not just yelling at me for defending him. I wept. Staring furiously in front of the two of them.

"What mean? You're not sure this is your son? YOU TRUST HIM MORE THAN HIS SLANDER? YOU, auww.. akhhh ..." My emotions are out of control. My lens suddenly went up. My stomach feels pierced. So hurt.

"Yes. You why? Why Sya?" vino said anxiously and pushed me onto the sofa.

"Aww ... Pain Vin. ukhhh .." I said grimacing in pain holding my stomach.

"We went to doctor yuk. Can you stand up?" vino said he was getting worried and helping me stand up.

I'm standing. It was so weak that this body. Accompanied by unbearable pain. Just two steps I was walking with Vino on the side, fresh blood suddenly pouring from behind my mini dress. It felt like warm blood was flowing down my thighs. My eyes are starting to dim. My body is like flying. Until it's completely dark. I fainted.

*****

When I opened my eyes. My body was lying with my hands attached to an infusion tube. My mind's getting messed up. I don't want anything to happen with my baby. But fate and reality really hurt me.

"Vin. Me why? My baby is okay, right?" ask me to Vino who hasn't stopped kissing my hands since I woke up.

I saw her eyes glazed over. There was a deep sadness and regret in Vino's dewy eyes, and was ready to shed the clear circles that had been dammed between the eyelids and eye bags.

"I'm sorry, Shay. Our son is leaving because of me. My stupidity. I'm sorry," said Vino, who still held my hand tightly.

My tears immediately spilled. Crying out. Scream. Very tight this chest. As a newlywed who hasn't even turned a year old, I really crave a child. Even though we were busy working, Vino and I didn't want to procrastinate about the kids. It was empty for almost 7 months. When it was entrusted the baby candidate in my womb, I just can not take care of it properly. My crying is getting out of control. I was angry with myself, with Vino, with the people around me.

*****

Three days I was on the opname. My body has recovered. I saw Vino talking to someone on his phone. Samar I heard the talk.

"Where are the jobs in Bandung Vik? when to go back to Jakarta?" vino said speaking to his phone.

Silence listening to the interlocutor on the mobile phone.

"Yes. This Tasya miscarriage. It's still in Jakarta now. Nemenin Tasya kasian no one waiting," he said again.

Vino was silent. His face that had originally looked cool, was now slowly turning red. His face was full of emotion. I cringe, astonished.

Shut up for a while as you were listening to someone talk on their phone.

"Ok Vik, I believe in Lo. I wait. Ati-ati, don't speed!" vino said again and turned off his phone.

I digested and connected what Vino was talking about with Viko. But I don't understand. I'm curious, so I can't bear this mouth to ask.

"You're talking to Viko? Aboutwhat? Kaya is so tense. What about me?" said ask.

"Viko is just plain, if Mamah does not like you. During my stay-stay You at home, Viko said deliberately often to the house, for fear You why-why. At that time Mamah told Viko to make your decetin, let us separate. But Viko firmly nolak and directly caci maki Mamah. From there Mom started not to like Viko either. That's why you're just as vico there's nothing. Trus stupidnya I almost consumed the talk," said Vino explained what he talked with Viko.

I'm gaping. Can't believe Mama Renata is really bad. Vino hugged me, as if knowing how I felt right now.

"Drrttt ... Drrrttt ..." the phone's voice rang.

Still hugging me, Vino immediately picked up the call that went into his phone with an unknown number.

"Yes. Right. With me alone" he said on his mobile phone.

"Astagfirullah ... Fine sir. I'll be there soon. Thank you." said Vino who suddenly shocked me and looked up at my face.

"Why, Vin? What's up?" I said curious.

"Viko accident. The car he was driving hit the truck. I'm going there to see his condition. You wait a minute, yes" said Vino who kissed my forehead before passing.

I'm just Silent. Shocked, anxious, afraid to mix into one.

'What bad things will happen to Vino? Oh God, save Viko. He's the only Vino family right now after Mama Papa's gone," my inner self with a clear bulb that doesn't feel out of my eyes.

Some time later. Vino's back. His eyes I see. Not a word he said. Just hugged me tight and hard.

"Vt ... What was? Viko's fine, isn't she, Vin?" said ask.

Vino remained silent. Her crying broke even more in my arms. I'm crying too. From her cries, I know what happened even though Vino hasn't spoken. I returned her embrace by hugging her tighter.

"Bus ... The food is ready. The same father Neng Maya had been waiting at the dinner table," said Bu Iyem who surprised me from daydreams.

"Oh. Yes Bu Iyem," I said briefly and followed Bu Iyem's steps towards the dining table located in the kitchen room.

*****

Early in the morning Vino had left for Bandung. Office business. While Maya at seven was already in between Pak Dadang to school following his basketball experience. It's Saturday, but only I'm off. It was quiet and sad to taste. Just now I laid my body on the sofa in the living room. Rey's weak and pale face the last time I saw her suddenly passed through my shadow. Makes me more curious about her situation. I hurried to the room to change clothes.

I just started the car. Cellphone's ringing. I saw my phone screen. There's an incoming call from Vino that I'll answer immediately.

"Assynolt, Bun. I was in Bandung. Directly to the client. Has not started the meeting anyway, just copy the same Pak Angga. Where are you? Why else? Maya is the exkulnya?" vino said streak makes me gap to hear it.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Thank goodness, Dad, if you've been there. I'm at home, but I'm gonna go out. It's in the car. Maya had left earlier in the anter Pak Dadang," I said answering all her questions.

"You want to go to the hospital? What are you doing, Bun? You sick?" ask Vino worriedly.

"No, Dad. I'm not papa. Just want to look back," I said lying.

"Oh, that. Thank goodness you are not papa. Yes, you are careful. Give my regards to your friend. Assalamualaikum," he said.

"Waalaikumsalam," I said ending the call.

*****

Arrive at the hospital. I immediately asked Rey's room in the care. It turns out that it is still the same as the first room Rey treated before being moved in a special care room before surgery. I easily found it. When I knock on the door. Accidentally the door nudged my hand and opened a little. I paused my intention of knocking it. I'm coming in right away. There was Indri who was sitting next to Rey who was asleep. Indri looked towards me.

"Tasha? What's the need to come here? Isn't our business in order?" said Indri who immediately attacked me with a question.

"There's nothing, In. I just want to look at Rey. Just want to know Rey's condition," said I stepped foot toward Ray who was sleeping soundly.

Indri directly prevented me. Pull my hand violently. He doesn't want me to come near Rey.

"Stop Yes. Don't know Rey's business anymore. I'm asking Lo to leave now, before Rey wakes up and wriggles that Lo is here," he said trying to kick me out.

"What do you mean, In? What is the right of Lo ngusir I? What right did you tell me I didn't find Rey again? Jealousy may be In, but this is not the way," I said, refuting the complaint.

"Yes. I'm jealous. I don't want Rey to know that Lo still cares about her. Moreover, until Rey tau if Lo who has donated blood for him. I don't want Rey to know all that!" he said with a face full of anxiety.

"What's? So the donor was you, Sya?" said Rey who had suddenly woken up.

Indri and I were shocked. I didn't realize Rey was awake. I don't know since when.
