My best friend, Maduku
Love of Anand

The age of Alsya's pregnancy at the age of five months, the demand for cravings was even stranger. As today, Alsya suddenly whined at Anand in the early morning asking to go home to Abah and stay there.

"Are you ready, baby ?."

"It."

"All right, let's go ?!." Anand takes Alsya into his car.

Fazal followed along with Tania in the back seat. And when everything was ready, they immediately went to Abah's house.

"Honey, I can only take you to Abah's house, because today I have a meeting at the office." Anand explained to his wife to understand.

Alsya turned to her husband. "But he'll be back at Abah's, right ?." Alsya's face looked unhappy.

"Yes, later from the office directly to Abah's house."

"Yes already." Alsha turned her eyes out the window.

The rainy season is still going on. Not morning, day or night, rainfall is sometimes very large flushing the ground.

"What do you want to buy when I get home ?." Anand tried to persuade because Alsya's face was still pouting sourly.

Anand held his wife's hand. "Darling..."

"I don't want anything." Alsya answered but her eyes were still focused on the trees on the roadside that were wet with rain.

"Martabak glutinous?, Rujak?, Or strawberry-flavored ice cream ?." Anand was still trying to persuade.

" I don't want anything..." Alsya is getting sulky.

Anand snorted resignedly. "All right,."

At the back, Fazal who was ordinary and understood the situation of his parents was just being indifferent. The little boy ignored the conversation between his parents that often happened.

They arrived at Abah's house. The face of Alsya immediately sumringah when he saw the figure of his parents and without caring for his son and husband Alsya walked quickly to meet Umma's body and hugged him tightly as if he had never met at all even though two weeks ago, umma had just visited and stayed at their house.

"Assalamualaikum, Abah, umma." Anand shook Abah's hand and turned to Umma's.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Come on, come in ?!." Tawar.

Anand raises Fazal's tiny body to be taken inside his grandparents' house.

Arriving inside, Anand who was in a hurry immediately said goodbye to everyone who was there.

Anand approached his wife who was still in the crab mode. He crouched down before Alsya who was sitting on the sofa with Umma. "Darling, I'm leaving first huh ?." Anand kissed Alsya's forehead.

"Not to be in the mood."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Eee don't forget the dignity of his strength." Said Alsya again with a timid face because she previously said she did not want anything.

Anand smiled sweetly. "Any more ?."

Alsya fell silent and brought her face to Anand's ears and whispered something that surprised Anand.

"But that's not good, baby." Anand's protest disagreed with his wife's request.

"But I want to..." He had just been relieved, but his wife's request had always shocked him.

At that time ask for a rain shower, then a visit to Cirebon, continue this morning ask to visit Abah's house and stay overnight, and now ?.

Anand looked at Abah and Umma. "Umma, if you're pregnant, can you play on a bike ?." Anand asked out of almost frustration at each request to crav Alsya.

Abah and Umma were obviously shocked as well. They've heard about Alsya's cravings.

Umma and Abah looked at each other and then Umma saw Anand's worried face again. "If you know Umma, you can. But, a little more dangerous."

And for this time Alsya finally nodded in agreement. He also did not want anything to happen to his three heroes if he could not take good care of them.

Anand smiled brightly. He immediately stood up and tightly hugged his wife's body. "Thank you, baby. You can do anything, but don't endanger them ?." Anand's advice and Alsya's return answered him with a nod of the head.

Anand gave up her arms again and turned to her son, who was sitting next to Abah. "If prince Abi wants to buy what ?."

Fazal. "Wouldn't do anything."

"Truly don't want anything ?."

"He em." Fazal nodded confidently.

"Yes, Abi left first yes, Fazal keep Ummi, okay ?."

"okay !."

Anand smiled and kissed Fazal's head. "Change, Umma, Anand left first, take Alsya and Fazal. Assalamualaikum..."

"Goddessalam.."

Anand immediately left because the time was getting late. He had to get to the office right before the meeting started.

Abah invites Fazal to come with him to the neighboring house which happens to be studying. And Alsya at home was accompanied by Umma who was always faithful beside her.

Like a spoiled princess, Alsya broke down her body and placed her head on the lap of the mother. And Umma seemed to be happily stroking her tender hair lovingly.

"Umma, is Alsya too evil with A' Anand ?."

"Evil how does that mean ?."

"Well, during Alsya's pregnancy, Alsya always asked for the odd. But, that's all Alsya really wants..."

Umma smiled soothingly. "It's okay, it's natural. Some of your husband is willing to obey, right ?."

"Except that one."

Umma chuckles small. "If Umma also disagrees with your request."

Alsya looked down full of guilt at her own will. "Yes, Umma."

"Oh yes?, What about the grandchildren of Umma?, Do you guys already know about them?." Umma stroked Alsya's soft stomach which had begun to grow even though the age of the womb was only five months but looked like it had entered seven months.

"Alhamdulillah, they are good all Umma. And, they're identical twins, one female and both male." Alsya's eyes sparkled brightly imagining the three children.

"God's Masya... May they be healthy until they are born."

"Aamiin..."

The child and mother were silent with their thoughts. But looking at her Ummanya face, Alsya became curious.

"What's up, Umma ?."

Umma looked at him. "Umma Keinget is the same as your old life. Umma remember once, you never acted like this time.

When with Aly you become obedient and and closed, even it seems umma never saw that you feel annoyed with Aly."

Alsya smiled calmly. "Had Alsya been very young to be married, Umma. Yang Alsya knew at that time was to be a devout wife and not to burden the husband because of his behavior. But, at that time Alsya was too quiet anyway, Alsya never spoke even though sometimes Alsya did not feel suitable. Alsya is also too innocent to realize that she has been lied to for years." Alsya spoke calmly as if everything she experienced before was not so meaningful.

Umma could see the radiance of Alsya's eyes that had not seen the sadness again despite discussing about his past.

"Now Alsya is very lucky to have a husband who is so understanding to Alsya. He even always reminded Alsya to always be herself and not to be too quiet and closed. " Alsya looked at her Ummanya face with a smile that grew even bigger. "God is good, Umma?, He gives a better replacement than before."

Umma nodded. "You deserve it, son."
