FATE AND DESTINY
27.I'M PREGNANT

"You go to the fork over there. Then straight on the right side of the road there is a hut house. That's his house. If he asks who are you? Just answer his wife tajudin. So as not to be asked for money as his payment." Clearly biyung amin on alika with detail.

"All right! I'll be there now! Thanks biyung. I'm sorry assalamualaikum!" Reply alika enthusiastically and immediately rushed to the house biyung silem.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Assynolhd..!" Alika said after arriving at home biyung silem.

"Vaalaikumsalam. Who's yaa?" Shouted biyung sillem from inside his house.

"I'm alika biyung, tajudin's wife!" Shouted alika from outside rashh biyung silem.

There is no answer alika just wailing in front of the door of the house biyung silem that there is a forest behind his house. After a long wait finally the door of the house opened wide and out came biyung silem to meet alika and told her to come in.

"Come in! What's coming here? Who told you to?" Tanya biyung silem with a face that is a little creepy for alika who just saw it.

"I was told biyung amin was sent here." Alika answered nervously.

"Why did he send you here? Why not come by yourself?" Biyung asked sillem while walking to sit on his rocking chair.

"That's because.mm because I'm sick but don't have the money to go to the doctor." Replied alika who was still standing with her trembling body.

"What do you feel?" Ask biyung silem while playing kinang in his mouth.

"I've had a few days of nausea and vomiting. I don't know what I'm sick of. Is it because I always eat cassava every day and never eat rice, so I got a stomach bug?" Alika asked a few questions.

"Lay in the bed. I'll check on you!" Tell biyung silem and go to the place where alika lay.

With the cold heat Alika's body trembled incoherently. Biyung silem take some materials that will be used to check alika such as eucalyptus oil, vegetable oil and roses to apply on the stomach. Biyung Silem examined alika's stomach by twirling her hands in alika's stomach with a slight press of her. And biyung silem has guessed alika disease.

"What date did you last menstruate?" Tanya biyung Silem ended his examination.

"What date is it? I forgot!" Reply Alika still remember when the last month came.

"Check at the gynecologist! After I checked you were two weeks pregnant." Obviously biyung silem while cleaning up his equipment.

"What? I'm pregnant?" Tanya Alika confirmed her hearing.

"Yes. Tell your husband to take you to the gynecologist immediately! If left unchecked your condition will get weaker!" Said biyung silem with his firm tone.

"Thank you biyung. I'm sorry I can't give you anything because tajudin never gave me money!" Speak honestly without anything being covered.

"Yes that's okay! Go I want a break!" Biyung silem but not rude.

"Yes yes.. I wait!" Sahut biyung silem and closed his eyes.

Alika who saw biyung silem no matter what, finally moved away and closed the door of the house biyung silem tightly. Alika walked down the small and winding streets to return home. With a mind that hovers alika remembering the words of biyung silem that she was two weeks pregnant. Not happy, but Alika was sad. Because alika was already very tired of living with an arrogant man like tajudin. Alika is tired because she was never given a living even by her husband. Even he was given the first living by his mother-in-law only twenty thousand for one week. Alika thought she wanted to leave the tajudin and divorce him if she fully recovered from her infection. Unaware of his steps he daydreamed all the way finally to the house of his in-laws. Alika sat glued to the sofa in front of her house. Alika daydreamed while shedding her tears. She regretted why she had to get pregnant while she wanted to leave the life of tajudin and his family.

"Alika! Heh alika!" Call tajudin pat on the shoulder of alika who did not hear the call of tajudin from earlier.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Sahut alika while wiping her tears.

"Why are you crying?" Ask Tajudin who is next to Alika.

"I'm pregnant!" Alika stared intently at tajudin's eyes.

"What? Getting pregnant? Said who? When do you check?" Tajudin asked repeatedly with an astonished look at alika.

"Hm. Yes I'm pregnant. I checked in the silem biyung! I said I was two weeks pregnant." Alika said at length to her husband.

"You're at Silem's house? With who? Then who told you the home of the silem biyung?" Ask again tajudin which makes alika's head feel dizzy.

"If you ask me that one-on-one! Don't be a new year's firecracker!" Alika replied upset at her husband.

"I want to know the truth too! So how?" Tajudin again wanted to hear the answer to his question.

"I'm at the house of biyung amin! And I'm asking who here can check without having to pay?" Alika deliberately insinuated her husband who never gave money."Biyung amin said there was a healer named biyung silem his house at the end of the fork. And I went straight there!" Obviously alika on tajudin at length.

"Why don't you pay? It's a pity that Silem doesn't get paid!" Tajudin without sin.

"How am I gonna pay? You were married to me, did you ever give me a dime? Naw, right? Then where do I get the money to pay biyung silem?" It felt like she wanted to slap her husband without mercy.

"Can bring two kilos of rice! You also need to take it in the sack! Lots of rice in the bag! No need to pay!" Tajudin replied still reluctant to give money to Alika.

"I'm a city person! How do you know if it's like that here? Some of you as a husband never care and never give a living with me! I'm a doll!" Upset alika glanced at tajudin with her cynicism.

"Hmm I've given up all my money with mom! So I can't give you money!" Answer tajudin without guilt.

"Wedding with you is your mother or me? If you leave all your money to your mother, marry your mother! And let go of me!" Peek alika upset with teary eyes and then moved into the room and locked her.

Tajudin just glued to see the behavior of alika that is getting here he thought more difficult to understand. Alika is a submissive wife who never demands anything from her husband from the beginning of marriage until the age of four months. Alika wants to end it all and go far to Jakarta to meet Ibrahim who was once his boss in Jakarta so that alika can live well as before. But his hope was in vain because now alika has contained the flesh of tajudin blood.
