"I'm getting married."
"Married?"
Selina breathed a heavy sigh when she remembered Nathan's words.
"Oh my God, what should I do?"
...**...
Nathan smiled and his row of neat teeth seemed to unravel Selina's tension.
"I will marry you if you will accept my feelings. Not for dating, I'm asking you to build a house with me."
Deg.
For a second, Selina thought Nathan was going to marry another woman. But what is this? Nathan's asking her to get married? Didn't we?
Like losing the idea to answer Nathan's words that are similar to a household invitation to him. Selina chose silence while calming her racing heart. Why is it like he just got on a rollercoaster ride.
"You fucked me." Selina pursed her lips.
"You think I'm gonna marry another woman, huh?" Nathan lightly nodded. While Selina's white cheeks were getting pale.
"Yes, who wouldn't have expected it. Like you just heard a confession. Then you said you were getting married, what does that mean?"
Nathan looked at Selina while chuckling softly. "You're angry because I bullied you?"
"No." Selina denied that. Why was he angry, he was just shocked and unexpected. So now is Nathan waiting for an answer from him?
"Hm, if you're angry, that's okay. I knew you from the beginning.had thought I would express my feelings. I also know you don't have the same feelings as me."
Selina turned to Nathan.
"But I still want to express this feeling. Even though I knew I'd be rejected."
Selina's breathing made Nathan more convinced, the girl was uncomfortable and confused.
"I don't expect you to answer. I just ..."
"Why?" selina asked Nathan to continue his words.
"Hm? Why what?" nathan asked back.
"Why do you like me?"
Nathan stroked his chest, he thought Selina would get angry because she expressed her feelings.
"Because I like you, for no reason. There is a thing called a sense of comfort, suddenly feel amazed, although it can not be explained just by words alone. essentially I like you, Selina."

Dude today promised to take Kinan to the hospital for a routine gynaecology check-up. Kinan was also ready to leave. For the sake of her baby, Kinan willingly left her profession as a nurse and chose to focus on maintaining her womb.
"Mas, the doctor said today there was a new nurse, because the usual nurse did not come. We'll meet him, yeah."
"OKAY. Are you ready for everything?"
Kinan chuckles. "It's just me, everything what? I think we're in a lot of trouble."
Dude shakes. "You must not always forget our baby. He should also be involved dong."
"Ups. Sorry baby, sorry for the grandpa." Kinan shamed in shame.
"Come, we'll walk." Dude opened the car door for Kinan. They can't wait to check again on the state of their baby.
That moment was one of Kinan's most anticipated moments of pregnancy. Especially when doing USG. Kinan was moved and always crying. Kinan did not believe that in his womb there was now a small creature breathing.
"Mas seems like her new sister. I'll try to meet you first."
"Okay baby."
Kinan walked towards the nurse. "Excuse me, assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. There's a bi-sa ..."
They were both surprised. When the sister turned around, only then did Kinan realize that the nurse was ...
"Diana? Oh, my God, Di!"
Kinan immediately hugged his friend. Diana has been hard to contact for months. His phone number is also inactive. Kinan thought perhaps Diana was reassembling her life without taking a phone call just yet. But it turned out that surprisingly today she met Diana in the hospital. Diana was wearing a nurse uniform complete with her hijab.
"Kinan, O God, it is you!"
There was something different about Diana, this time she did not use my title of yours when talking to Kinan.
Kinan also adapted to Diana's style of speech.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be a nurse anymore, Diana."
Diana smiled as she looked at Kinan. "Thank God, I was offered a job here, Kinan. I am grateful that someone is still taking me to work. Yeah, rather than me just at home," he said.
"Thank God, Diana. I'm happy, yeah."
Diana nodded, then she turned to look at Kinan's stomach. "Are you pregnant, Kinan?"
Kinan closed his mouth and answered Diana's question. "Yes, I'm pregnant, Diana. I'm gonna check the contents today."
"God, I am very happy. Finally, a blessing. May you always be healthy, yes."
"Aamiin's."
Diana suddenly remembered her son who had miscarried. His face looks sad too. Kinan knew it must be heavy for Diana. Kinan himself would not be able to if he had to get a test like Diana experienced.
"Diana, don't be sad."
"Ehm, no. I am happy, right from my heart. You must take care of your health. The most important thing is to be happy, okay."
"Yes, Diana. Thank you." Thank you."
Kinan entered the examination room accompanied by the Dude. Kinan's husband was also shocked to see Diana who had returned to work as before. But the Dude was happy because Diana was able to rise from the slump. For her, women like Diana, Hana, are women who must be defended and protected by their rights and justice.
"Mother Kinan, the baby is healthy, the heart rate is normal and good. Everything so far is normal. The situation of Ms. Kinan is also stable. For the sex is not very clear, maybe about three or four weeks is just plain to see."
The doctor's words moved Kinan. Kinan could not hold back his tears. Kinan always cries when it comes to the fetus in the womb.
Diana was delighted and relieved to see Kinan and her healthy baby. Slowly she stroked her own stomach.
What are you doing there again? Mother is very kangen. Mother always misses, when you come again to Mother's dream.
Diana's little baby who had fallen once came to her dream. That boy is beautiful he is a female. The boy brought a bunch of flowers and he gave them to Diana. Without saying anything, then the child hugged Diana, then disappeared just like that.
Diana cried, suddenly her tears fell while staring at Kinan's stomach which was being examined by the obstetrician.
God, can I feel that again. With baby again. Maybe someday, or I'll be on my own like now.
