A Sugar Baby
Awaiting Results
"Where's Vit?"
Lea asked Vita, after the girl had her blood sample taken.
"Yes blood is drawn." said Vita.
"Most you wonder a little later inside" he continued later.
"Please Lea...!"
The nurse of the information department invited Lea, to enter the blood sampling room. And the woman went in there. After a while, it was Nina's turn.
The three of them were asked to wait for approximately 3-4 hours. They want to go home too. They walked around the hospital and had lunch there.
"Where's lele?. Have you eaten yet?"
Daniel sends a short message to Leah, Leah herself keeps this day a secret from Daniel. Fearful and taboo about it, he did not know how Daniel responded to the issue of sexually transmitted diseases so far. He was afraid that his partner would be offended.
"Kayak ABG alay yes mas, the question. I've eaten yet." reply Lea.
"Yes dunkz." Daniel answered again.
"No hits ngets." reply Lea.
"Skuy is." Reply Daniel.
"Wwkwkwkwk mas, it's ah. I slammed it hp, really amused to see you use that alay language."
"Kuz g kanz brnti ea, tuk clalu send chat bgini ea."
Daniel sent a reply that increasingly made Lea's yams smoky.
"Yetoo."
"Wkwkwkwkwk, you're so mad." replied Daniel again.
They continued to talk through text messages, for a while.

"Le, Nin, what if my results are positive?"
Vita asks Lea and Nina, as they are enjoying a dessert in a cafe right next to the hospital.
"Gue was scared." he continued later.
"Well, you think I'm the same Lea's not afraid?" seloroh Nina's.
"We're just as scared as elo, Vit." he continued.
"Yes, it's just that I'm not tense." - Timpal Lea.
The three of them then kept quiet, and sucked each other's drinks. After three hours they returned to the hospital, but the test results have not yet come out. They waited again by sitting on the available sofa.
A few moments later,
"Lea, Vita, Nina."
A nurse called out their names.
"Yes sus." answered the three of them simultaneously.
"Please go into the counselling room" the nurse said, pointing to a room."
Lea, Vita, and Nina sat against each other. But soon, they entered the room.
"Creek." Door opened.
"Good day."
A woman dressed as a nun greeted the three of them. No wonder because they came here is a hospital with a certain religious nuance. Although patients are diverse and have different beliefs.
"The sus."
Lea, Vita, and Nina said the same thing, almost at the same time.
"Please sit...!"
The nun invited the three of them to sit, on the chair provided.
"Which lea?" ask the nun.
"I'm sus." replied Lea.
"Nina?"
"I'm sus." said Nina.
"That means Vita?"
"Yes, I'm." replied Vita.
"You two are pregnant?" ask the nun to Lea and Nina.
"Yes sus." answered the two at once.
Lea, Vita, and Nina listened carefully. They just found out if the caring room has counseling sessions like this.
"Here I want to ask Vita first."
"I, yes sus." said Vita.
She, Lea and Nina were suddenly very nervous. They don't know where this conversation is going.
"Vita, what prompted you to do this checkup?"
The nun's sister looked at Vita. Although the gaze and manner of speech are very soft, but it does not reduce the tension that exists in the girl. He was afraid that he would suffer from this disease. Otherwise, what are they gathered for in a room like this.
"Mm, the thing that drives me is...."
Vita stopped her speech, she was a bit hesitant to continue.
"It's okay, just talk. The story of the three of you, safe with me."
"Mm, i. I have the characteristics, which lead to the characteristics of certain sexually transmitted diseases sus. That's why I ventured to check."
"When was the last time you did something risky?"
"About three months ago, sus." replied Vita.
"Who with?. Husband, girlfriend, or...?"
"Sus's girlfriend. But I suspect he was also in contact with other women, while still the same me.
"Sorry, are you religious?" ask the nun again.
Vita was a little quiet.
"I, yes sus." replied Vita later.
"Well, you don't have to mention what your religion is. Because I know who came to this place with different backgrounds and beliefs. But clearly, in all religions, that I know. Every action, there must be a reward. There are consequences, because there are reasons. Having a relationship before marriage is a lot of risk. Let alone the unmarried, married still remain at great risk."
Lea, Vita, and Nina watched the monastery with anxious hearts.
"If possible after this examination, the wrong behavior should not be done again. Ask God for forgiveness based on their own beliefs. Get married first, do a joint examination with your partner to be fair. Do not taboo to always talk about reproductive health with a partner, this is for both of you who are married. Lea and Nina."
"I, yes sus." they answered simultaneously.
"On the written form you're married, right?"
"Be, right sus."
"It doesn't mean you're not at risk. Observe the behavior of the husband, like it or not snack outside. Educate your husbands about the dangers associated with the many women out there. Because we never know, women out there have the virus or not. Don't let the husband infect the wife and children at home."
Lea, Vita and Nina compactly nodded their heads.
"You should make this reproductive health, as a mandatory topic of conversation on certain days. In order for your husbands to be fully aware of the dangers that lurk."
"Yes sus." answered the three of them simultaneously.
"Don't get a lot of snacks outside. Not even if the way of relating husband and wife is not clean, we can contract sexually transmitted diseases. For example, such as relating in a state of uncleanness, the property of the husband is put in an improper place. Or the wife's sensitive area put in something she shouldn't. Using saliva as a lubricant is also at risk of disease transmission."
"Sus, whether when we have certain symptoms or traits. Are we sure or positive?"
Vita clarified the question, because he was already very haunted by fear.
"We'll wait for the results. If one of you is HIV positive, remember that everyone in this caring room will help you. Including the provision of anti-retroviral drugs, counseling how to live with the virus in the body, as well as all the actions that must be done."
The bodies of Vita, Lea and Nina trembled even more, Vita's tears spread in the eye patch.
"Having the HIV virus in your body doesn't mean the end of everything. It's just that you have to keep taking the medicine for life, even if it won't make the virus go away. But the growth of the virus can be suppressed, and can be prevented for transmission from the mother to the baby. If one day you want to get married and have children. The HIV virus will not infect a partner, as long as the virus has been made passive. In what way?. By taking medication regularly."
Vita's tears fell unbearably, she was completely engulfed in fear and regret for all the actions she took all along. Not much different from Vita, Lea and Nina were no less afraid. Especially now that there are babies in their womb.
"People with HIV/AIDS can still live normal lives. Even the good news is that they can marry people who do not have the HIV virus or healthy people. However, there are certain conditions and must be consulted with a doctor. For the prevention of the virus, so as not to be transmitted to a partner and also the child who will be born later."
"If the sufferer is a boy?" This time Lea spoke up.
"Can you still marry a normal woman who doesn't have the virus?" continue then.
"At this time it can, but of course the process is different from men who do not have the virus."
"It's a little complicated, huh?" ask Nina
"Yes, such as having to take medicine every day, to suppress the growth of the virus. Related to using protective rubber or ******. If you want to have children, you should first consult a doctor. The doctor will check this and that, until the patient is declared to be able to relate to his partner without safety."
"Will he not be transmitted through the seed that is issued, sus?" ask Nina.
"Of course you can, but the chances are very small. If he has gone through the process recommended by the doctor, or under the supervision of a doctor."
Vita, Lea, and Nina sighed. It turns out that HIV is scary, but not as scary as the shadow of the general public that they have known.
"Later if suppose hopefully the result is negative. If you want to know more about HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases. Here you can register as a volunteer, you will be educated more by experts. And it can help educate the public as well. So that people with HIV can live a normal life, without negative stigma in the eyes of the community."
Lea, Vita, and Nina looked at each other. Honestly, they are very interested in it. Because the lay community in this country is still very necessary to be educated, about this kind of thing.
But clearly, the three of them were about to wait for the results of their examination first.
