Dirga hastily corrected his words so as not to confuse the guards even more.

“Good. And, alright. Just let him go. Then, let me know when he has come back.”

Dirga contacted Oscar as quickly as he could do after hanging up. He suddenly became nervous that Oscar would suddenly cause trouble by carrying that face on everywhere he went.

Oscar’s calm and peaceful voice didn’t make Dirga feel any better. When he answered the call from him. That friendly voice made Dirga even more frustrated

“What a coincidence! Do you want to check on me? And you still doubt my abilities?”

Oscar grumbled after that.

“Even though I’ve asked them to keep my departure in secret from anyone. But they seem to listen to your words more than their masters!”

Dirga did not want to argue too much.

“What are you planning? And where are you going? You’ve also forgotten my stern warning to be careful? So, do you have any important things you must do out there so late? It’s 1 a.m! What do you want to do now?”

Oscar continued to enjoy the evening breeze. He loved Harry’s collection of blue sports cars. It was so easy to use and comfortable. Its full features also support the driver to feel pampered.

Not to mention, the roof of the car that could be opened. Oscar did not need to try hard to find a shortcoming. Because it doesn’t exist.

“I was just out to get some fresh air for a bit. I’ll be back before sunrise. You don’t have to worry. I will take good care of this face without causing any trouble. And even if I get caught in the act. I’m not using your boss’s great name! I’m promised!!”

Dirga rubbed his chest.

“Did you mean to cause trouble?”

Oscar was silent for a moment before answering.

“It all depends on the situation. But I guarantee that I will be careful!”

Click!

The call was turned off. Even totally off. Oscar didn’t activate his cell phone again for the next few hours.

He circled the highway freely. He hadn’t felt it in a long time. Dirga let out a long sigh and went back to sleep after there was not much he could prevent and do.

***

Time passed quickly. The sun has shone again.

Oscar kept his word. At 5 a.m, he was back at Harry’s house. He was fully clothed after taking a shower and memorized every room in the house one by one.

He had been exploring alone while everyone else was sleeping. And studied Harry’s habits according to his brilliant imagination.

He didn’t really care if his imagination was right or not.

Harry’s housekeeper, Ane. She didn’t even know about Oscar’s suspicious behavior. Ane was preparing some food for breakfast when Oscar had finished his mission.

Cleo came down shortly after Oscar sat down on the dining chair. Oscar greeted him.

“Are you want something? Or should I make warm milk for you?”

This hospitality invited confusion.

“When did you sleep and wake up? Did you sleep well last night? Have you preparing to go?”

Oscar nodded as he took a sip of his black coffee. He looked away then cursed the bitterness he felt.

It’s so bad! Why did this strange man also like to drink coffee without the sugar?

Oscar could not want but have to finish at least half of the coffee that Ane served as a daily routine.

“I fell asleep not long after you. Then, I woke up early because I was just contacted that the schedule for your obstetrician visit was accelerated. We’re leaving at eight. Then after that, I have to go to the office.”

Cleo dragged a chair to sit down.

“Is there a serious and urgent matter?”

Oscar shrugged.

“Who knows. But obviously, I will solve those problems as best as I can.”

Oscar offered his breakfast.

“You want me to spread some sweet jam for you? Or do you want me to ask Ane to prepare a bowl of porridge for you? I’ve told her to mix some pieces of ginseng into the porridge. I’m sure you’ll like it.”

Cleo smiled faintly. She was still sleepy. But her stomach was also hungry.

“Make me a bowl of porridge.”

Oscar stood up and walked to the pantry. He prepared by himself, a bowl of porridge for Cleo. This unusual sight attracted great attention from Cleo. He was repeatedly astonished by his curiosity.

Oscar placed a bowl of porridge in front of Cleo.

“What is it? Am I acting weird just today?”

Cleo nodded.

“Yes. And so much. Because you’ve never done this before.”

Oscar sat back in his chair.

“I’ve never paid special attention like this before?

Oscar was confused about what Harry had been doing all this time. Because what he often heard was that Harry treats his wife highly special. Then could there actually be another wife out there that he treats better than Cleo?

Oscar moved his head.

“Eat this. And spend it.”

Cleo became obedient. But after that, she sneered a little.

“You mustn’t forget that I’m still annoyed at your unfunny demeanor. I still don’t agree when you keep my pregnancy in secret.”

Oscar chuckled.

“OK. If that’s the case, you should be getting mad at Sofia! Ah, I mean, grandma!”

Oscar added.

“You just need to protest to her when you meet her later. And make her realize for her mistake.”

Cleo snorted.

“You delegate this blame on your grandma? How cruel are you!?”

Oscar didn’t feel guilty.

“Why not? These are her ideas. And I’m just doing what So, grandma, I mean, want to!”

Cleo decided to give up.

“You know so right that I can’t possibly fight her. She is a woman much older than me. I couldn’t be rude to her. So, just only you, someone who I can blame for complying with her request.”

Oscar raised both his hands. After devouring the last bite of his toast.

“Okay. Enough. If so, what is your special request? I’ll try to grant it if it makes sense.”

“No need. And let me finish my breakfast then get ready after this.”

***

Dirga was already waiting for Cleo and Oscar to take them to go. Greeted Cleo briefly and was sure that everything was fine. Although anxiety could not disappear from the bottom of his heart.

A gynecologist on Erikka’s recommendation announced the results of her diagnosis without the slightest hesitation.

“You are pregnant with twins, Madam. Two different heartbeats are detected in your womb. Therefore, we need to do a more detailed ultrasound. But the accuracy of my words is close to 70 percent. So, if your two prospective babies are healthy. You can give birth to two children almost simultaneously.”

Oscar and Dirga looked at each other. While Cleo laughed happily.

“I’m pregnant with twins?”

Doctor Emilia nodded.

Oscar nearly fell off his chair. He at Dirga meaningfully.

They both thought the same things. That this coincidence was a sharp satire to them. Oscar looked at Cleo.

“Do you have a history of twins in your big family?”

The both of them looked each other. Cleo dug through her memories.
