"Mom wanted ketoprak and a chocolate birthday cake. After eating ketoprak, it's good to eat something sweet. Now if you eat chocolate birthday cake, it must taste really good," mom's face lit up at the thought of the food.

"But mom, I don't have enough money," Farah said with a sad face.

"I really want to buy that food. When will it be? I'll be able to eat delicious food like that."

"Well, mom, be patient, I'll find a job so I can earn a lot of money," said Farah with a sweet smile.

When night fell. Farah looked for a ketoprak vendor. She saw one across the street.

"There you go! I want to buy ketoprak so mom will be happy," she said as she walked to the vendor.

Farah's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hello Farah, you've received the money, right? So what do you think? When are you ready to marry my husband?" asked Salsa.

"Yes, thank you very much. As soon as possible. I'm ready to marry mbak salsa's husband," said Farah in a hesitant tone.

"Yes, I'll pick you up tomorrow," the call stopped.

Farah could only stand there gawking.

"Is the ketoprak pedes or not?" asked the ketoprak driver.

"Oh yes yes sir, don't be pedes ya sir," replied Farah who had been daydreaming.

The next day Farah and Salsa went to a large hospital.

"Everything will be checked at this hospital. It's to make sure that you'll be able to get pregnant when you're married to Mas Kairo," said Salsa firmly.

"Yes, Sister Salsa. I will obey mbak salsa," Farah nodded. She was just trying to carry out the scenario that had been destined for her. After waiting for a few days. The health results came out and it was declared that Farah was healthy. Everything was normal and Farah could get pregnant.

The next day Farah had her wedding at the hospital. Because it was Farah's will. Farah wanted her mother to witness her marriage to Kairo.

After everything was done smoothly. Salamah looked very happy.

"Ya Allah, I didn't expect you to get a soul mate like Cairo. How come you never told me,"

"Hehehe yes ma'am, it's a surprise for me," said Farah smiling sweetly. even though she had to lie.

"But Kairo is good, right? He comes from a rich family. Are you okay with his family? You'll be humiliated," said Salamah with concern.

"No, ma'am. God willing, Cairo's family is all good," said Farah with a small smile. Although she didn't know what would happen later. But because she loved her mother so much. So it was all done by her.

"Now this is your room. This house is specifically for you and Kairo. Because I don't want to be in the same house with you," Salsa said firmly.

"Yes, yes, ma'am."

"Everything is available in this house. If there's anything. You just call. Oh yes, Cairo should not go to this house first. Because you have to rest first. So that everything runs smoothly. Remember, you eat vitamins and fruits. So that you can stay healthy," said Salsa firmly.

"Yes, thank you very much. Oh yes, sis. If you come here, you will WhatsApp me later. The thing is, I'll be at the hospital to accompany my mom."

"Yes, if that's easy, I'll go first," Salsa quickly left the house.

Farah now looked at her clean and comfortable room. There was a sense of excitement about it all. Even the dressing table was filled with skincare.

"Ya Allah, I wish this was all mine. But I'm only facilitated with this, I'm really happy. But on the other hand, I'm also scared. Duh, what will I do when I meet Kairo. I'm really dizzy," said Farah, shuffling her headscarf.

"Oh so, that's good. But you have to divorce when you give birth," said Sinta seriously.

"Yes ma, there's already an agreement. Besides, Farah is a village girl who doesn't have a job. So there's no way Kairo will last with Farah," said salsa confidently.

"I can't wait to hold my grandchildren," mom said with a sweet smile. She, who had just returned from out of town, was happy that Cairo was married to another woman who could get pregnant.

"Why are you pouting so Salsa?" asked Cairo while approaching his wife who was in front of the dressing table.

"My face is beautiful like this but unfortunately I'm barren," said Salsa with a sad face.

"You don't have to be sad. Let's just go to bed. It's Friday night, right?" asked Kairo with a sweet smile.

"You're a man," said salsa pinching her husband's cheek.

Meanwhile at home, Farah was getting ready to go to the hospital. She brought food and a change of clothes for her mother.

"In this house that I think is quite big. I'm alone. Geez... why do I feel so lonely. Why does it hurt like this?" asked Farah in her heart.

Somehow there was a feeling of disappointment. As a newlywed, she should be happy. But instead she was sad like this. Indeed, this was not the will of her heart. But this marriage was only to make her mother really healthy.

Arriving at the hospital. Farah saw her mother who was watching TV.

"After changing to a nice room like this. Mom feels at home. There is air conditioning, there is a TV too. Seeing the view from the window is also very beautiful. Thank you very much, Farah," said Salamah, smiling happily. This was the first time Farah had seen her mother smile with such happiness.

"Yes ma'am, this is all because of Mas Kairo. Mas Kairo wants the best for mom's recovery," Farah was forced to lie. The one who provided this facility was Salsa.

"That's very kind of your husband. Invite Cairo here. I want to talk to Cairo," said Salamah hopefully.

"Yes ma'am, I will definitely bring Cairo here to visit mom," Farah smiled broadly. Although her heart was in agony. If only Salamah knew that her son was his second wife. Of course Salamah would feel so sad.

"Oh yes ma'am, just a moment ma'am. Farah forgot to buy credit. Farah went to the minimarket for a moment, ma'am," said Farah, hurriedly taking her sling bag from the table.

"Yes, be careful Farah,"

The road was so crowded. The area in front of the hospital was a big road that was almost always jammed every day. The hot sun made Farah walk quickly to the air-conditioned place.

"It's really hot outside, O Allah," she said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead. Seeing the man who was her husband in front of the cashier. Farah acted immediately.

"Uh, mas Kairo,"

Kairo juang turned around in shock. Their eyes met. Kairo was silent and confused about what to do. While Farah smiled sweetly at her husband. Suddenly, Cairo brought his face close to Farah's ear.

"Farah! If it's like this outside. You don't need to pretend to know me!" Cairo said softly and firmly.
