David is a friend of Ayu’s older brother, Leo. They have been friends since high school until now. Not only David and Leo, but also Akmal who became Leo’s assistant, Ayu’s sister.

It was from their friendship that finally David, who often visited Leo at his house, met Ayu..

Every household must have trials, as well as those experienced by Ayu and David.

When viewed from ordinary glasses everything looks perfect, one is beautiful and the other is handsome, and which is definitely well established.

Ayu has her own cafe business, while her husband David is a businessman.

Plus both of them are from wealthy families.

really perfect isn’t it, but it’s not for Ayu and David because they haven’t been blessed with a child.

Actually, they can still patiently wait, but people around them always ask about the whereabouts of the child.

especially now that Ayu’s parents-in-law have begun to be incited by the words of her relatives and friends who always show off their grandchildren.

Like tonight, after dinner at the Nugraha family which consisted of David, David and Ayu’s mother sat in the family room, David’s mother, who was called Ratih’s mother, began to discuss pregnancy.

“You’re late for your period, haven’t you this month?” asked Mrs. Ratih

“Not yet, ma’am, now it’s even coming months”. Ayu replied, forced to smile.

“What the hell,, it’s been five years, you already want to have grandchildren, moreover, your only child is David, if you don’t ask, who do you ask?” said Mrs. Ratih grumbling

“Be patient, ma’am, later if you are trusted, mother will have grandchildren,” said David casually

“Anyway, I don’t want to know that next month if Ayu isn’t pregnant, you just get married again, I’ll find a quality one.” said Mrs. Ratih undeniably as she walked away.

The night was getting late, in a gray room there was silence after a few hours ago there was a little argument between mother and child.

“Honey, I’m sorry my mother, don’t take words like that to heart, okay?” David said breaking the silence

“I’m okay, bro, indeed I can’t give you offspring, as long as you still support me and beside me I will survive.” Ayunda said while reviewing a smile.

Believe me, behind the smile that is displayed Ayunda holds a heavy burden.

Can he survive what the people around him say, especially now that his mother-in-law, who used to love him so much, seems to be distant, saying that he is always sarcastic.

Hopefully Ayunda can always be patient.

“I will always be by your side, my dear, even if later there are no children between us, we can adopt” the words that came out of David’s mouth were so calming that perhaps Ayunda could always be patient.

“Yes, sir, thank you and I’m sorry.” sorry Ayunda

“It’s okay honey.” David said while holding his wife’s body tightly..

It’s been a few days since the mother-in-law told her son, more precisely, Ayunda’s husband to remarry, Ayu felt a dilemma.

coupled with words urging her to allow David to marry again.

And maybe Ayu will talk about this again with her husband.

Well, he must be willing to accept all the consequences. Although it must be hard to live it, maybe this is for the best for all.

Ayunda has considered her father-in-law’s words and told David to remarry because she has seen a doctor that the chances of getting pregnant are very slim, because Ayu had fallen down the stairs and hit her stomach.

Tonight Ayunda is waiting for her husband to come home. He was sitting on the living room sofa watching television. Even though the television is actually watching it.

“Honey, you haven’t slept yet,” said David, who had just come home from work when he saw his wife sitting.

“I was waiting for you, honey” Ayu answered

“I already said you don’t have to wait, because you come home late. You don’t want you to get sick, honey.” Say David

“Yes, sir, but here’s something I want to talk to you about, have you eaten yet?” said Ayu again

” I ate earlier at the office, yes, if you want to talk, me, clean up first.” said David while holding his wife’s hand to his room.

“Yes, I’ll prepare your clothes first” Ayunda replied

****

Now the husband and wife are sitting on the head of the bed. both of them were still silent, neither of them would speak.

“Honey,” Ayunda called, breaking the silence

“Yes dear, what do you want to talk about?” answer David

“I’m ready to be combined” Ayunda said holding the tightness in her chest

“What are you talking about, I don’t want to hurt you.. I know even though your mouth says ready, but your heart isn’t right?. Never mind we’ve discussed this before, and I’ll be patiently waiting for it ” said David while embracing his wife.

“But, the results of the doctor’s examination the possibility for me to be pregnant is very small,” said Ayunda while handing an envelope of information from the hospital.

“I also want to have children, mas, I allow you to remarry. Isn’t it later if you have children, they will also be my children.” Ayunda replied

“Are you sure about your decision, honey?” David asked

“I’m sincere as long as you treat us fairly later.” Ayunda replied with a smile.

Believe me, behind the smile that she pushed away was the wound and tightness. disappointed in herself for not being able to make her husband happy.

Although her husband always defends himself in front of his mother, Ayunda knows that her husband also really wants to have a child.

Ayunda also often catches her husband brooding alone in his study, after an argument with his mother.

Maybe David was disappointed in her too, but she didn’t say anything.

Therefore Ayunda decided to be ready to be combined.
