Author And The Baby
Still With you


"I happened to leave it to my neighbor."


"Oh!" The man was relieved. Phew! Why did I forget to ask this important question? Fortunately, Marina left the baby to her neighbors. So, I have a lot of time with him, right? Uh, but no. That's an evil thought. Remember Abigail, your wife just died. Where is your conscience? "Eh, I pray first?"


Abigail left Marina alone at the table with a lethargic face.

Please look back when Anka came back into the apartment. "Why are you back?"


"The Marine brother doesn't exist" said the young man grumbling slightly. He put the plastic bag he was carrying on the table.


"Maybe he's sleeping. Have you checked it?" The one who was washing the dishes turned his head.


"Udah, Brother. 'And the apartment is not locked. I went into the room and his brother wasn't there." Anka pulled up a chair nearby and sat there.


"Mmh, maybe he went to the doctor."


"Cong you say? 'Can Anka deliver."


"Yes, maybe not good, helped continue. So go alone."


Anka frowning. He pulled out his HP. He hesitates to call Marina, but then he breaks her off because she is coming to campus soon. "Today I have a college assignment until night so I can't see Marina."


Please look at me while smiling. He dried his hands with a cloth. "Who told you to see him every minute? 'You're alone, until your pocket money runs out of Marina's treat. Ask your sister is okay, Brother is not angry, but you are still a student, Anka. Can't find your own money, it's considered that if people treat, if actually can't ya don't force."


Anka was still frowning. He wanted to argue but what his brother said was true. Finally he opened the package he was carrying earlier and began to eat lunch alone.


"Mama, Dedek Farhan is awake!" A boy ran out of the room to Sila.


"Oh, maybe I'd like to take milk. Mom make it first."


-----------+++------------


Abigail's back. "Well, haven't you eaten yet?" ask her to Marina.


"It doesn't taste good, it's treated but eat first." The woman smiled.


Has he always been so? In times of pleasure, hardship, even pain, he always smiles. He realized that his smile was lighting up the world. Is that why he always smiles? "Eh ...."


"Yes?"


"Eh, no. Let's just eat." Abigail pulled out her chair. While eating, he invited Marina to a chat. "Are you going to take your baby, 'cause maybe it doesn't seem like you can take care of the baby for a few days."


The woman stopped eating and scowled.


Abigail looked at the woman. "Why?"


"I'm troubling people again."


"Yes, there's no choice, right? Than fainting while holding a baby? Just stand up you can't." Abigail scooped her lasagna.


"Mk." The woman looked down.


"You don't have to worry, there are a lot of people helping you. The proof is that your neighbor wants to be cheered on by that baby."


"Yes, but he has two children too."


Abigail thought for a moment. "Want me help? But I can't take care of the baby."


Marina laughs. "I'm sorry, I'm slipping. I shouldn't have told you, you're a man. Where can take care of the baby. Sorry, sorry." He smiled back.


"If it's light I can be like holding a baby or feeding milk because I have a baby too."


"Mmh, have a baby?" Marina curious. "But in your apartment, there is no one else. Did the baby take your wife?"


Abigail was confused to answer. "Eh, like that," he said origin.


Oh, he's married. Marina looks disappointed. "Eh, I'm so not good to trouble you, while you also have a wife and children to take care of. Should we just go back?" He suddenly went awry sitting with the man until he started talking formally again with the man.


"Eh ...."


"My wife is with my son."


"Preferably you pick up your son and wife, we go home now." Marina was just about to get up when Abigail came back to explain.


"My wife is dead" said the man with bated breath.


Marina was shocked to the point of closing her open mouth.


"I moved into that apartment because I couldn't remember all the memories left inside that house."


"Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi roji. Sorry, sir I don't know."


"It's okay. I moved out so I could start a new life." The man's eyes began to tear.


Iba marina. He picked up a box of tissue on the table and gave it to Abigail.


"I'm sorry, so it's a storytelling place. I've never told anyone this whole time." The man took a piece of tissue but he just grabbed it.


"It's okay. Just take it out" Marina said with a smile and patted the hand of Abigail who was on the table gently.


"Thank you."


But then, they became familiar by themselves. When she got home, Marina asked to be taken to the supermarket.


Abigail protested. "What do you want to buy? Your body hasn't been strong enough to go shopping."


"I want to buy a baby for Farhan."


"Then, I'll do the shopping. What do you want to say."


"Yes .. so it's a hassle."


"It's okay. Just write down what you want to do for shopping."


Marina frowned and the man caught a glimpse of her.


"Send to phone number 08 ...." Abigail mentioned her phone number and Marina immediately copied it to her phone. The man then repeated the number to be sure. "Have you?"


The woman nodded. He then sent the list of items he needed to the man's HP. Arriving at the supermarket, the woman offered her ATM card.


"What'sthis? No need to." Abigail closed the door.


"But ...." Marina could not say anything as the man had already stepped into the supermarket that was in front of the car.


About half an hour later, the man showed up with plastic groceries in hand. He then put it in the back seat. "Sorry long, the queue is long." Abigail then sat back at the wheel. "Ok, we're home."


-----------+++-----------


Marina opened the door to her apartment. He was still holding on to the man's arm until he reached the apartment because the man was holding plastic shopping in both hands. Actually he was a little embarrassed to hold on to the man, but things forced him. "This is my apartment. There's nothing," he said humbly.


"Mk." Abigail placed her groceries on the table and led Marina to her room. "Sorry I'm in?" Then take her to bed. He looked at the woman for the last time. "You don't need anything, do you? Can you be alone?"


The woman nodded slowly. "Eh, yeah. Your coat." Marina almost opened the suit but the man stopped her.


"Eh, no need. Just wear. Uh, just later. Maybe you need it now."


Marina felt strange but then she agreed and was happy. "Oh, yeah."


Abigail stepped out, and almost closed the door, but again it was opened. "Eh, if you don't mind, I can accompany you to dinner."


Marina glanced towards the door.


"Eh, you can't go out and buy food yet" Abigail explained, giving an excuse in a slightly awkward manner.


"Yes" said the woman timidly.


"Em, o-ok." The man closed the door. Behind the door he tried to calm his heart. Why just ask dinner, her heart beats like this? He was indeed a little nervous for fear of being rejected by Marina and this heart, O Allah ....


Marina also rolled inside the blanket with her big smile. What about the dinner offer he's so happy?
