Aji was still sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for the doctor who had not yet arrived. He was still trying to get his wife up. However, there was no sign that the woman would be conscious. Aji is afraid that his wife will get sick or may actually be sick, but the in-laws do not tell him.
It was eager for the man to contact his in-laws, but was afraid that it would add to the burden of the mind. Especially now that his parents were also with them so, he decided to wait for the doctor alone. Hopefully nothing bad happens to Asha. Not long after, the waiting doctor finally came, making Aji feel relieved and upset.
Aji had protested because Doctor Ihsan was too long, but was not ignored by the doctor at all. Aji is indeed a polite and gentle person. However, he was least fond of the delay. Moreover, the state of his wife who is not yet aware, while he does not know anything about the woman.
Doctor Ihsan immediately opened the equipment he was carrying and checked the state of Asha. The doctor feels strange about Asha's state because everything looks normal. Fatigue is natural at an event like this, then he smiles when he knows something. She thought that if Aji was a good man, it was the same as everyone else, but Doctor Ihsan told her that she was also a man.
“How is my wife doing, Doc? Why are you smiling?” asked Aji who felt strange, but she was worried, but the doctor smiled to himself. It even looks like he is mocking her.
Doctor Ihsan who saw Aji's worry also returned to smile. He was sure that the man loved his wife very much. The man knows Aji very well and wants the best for him.
“Dok, asked even his own smile. What happened to my wife?” reprimands Aji who has not received an answer about the state of his wife.
“I can't be sure of the truth, but I suspect something. Try you that he went to the gynecologist, hopefully you got an answer there.”
Aji frowned and asked, “A obstetrician? Why should I take my wife to the doctor? Why not just go to the general practitioner?”
“That's what I mean, Aji. I suspect your wife is pregnant at this time, so I advise you to go there.”
Like being struck by lightning, Aji's body froze, he was so shocked, not knowing what to do. It was their bridal night, but he heard the incredible news that shocked him. Both have not done anything. During this time also the man tried to keep himself from making mistakes, but the reality actually made him furious.
“Aji, you listened to me, right?” Doctor Ihsan waved her hand in front of Aji's face as the man was just silent with an empty look.
“Iya, Doc. I heard it,” Aji replied in a flat tone, his gaze turning to look towards the wife. The disappointment in his heart turned into hatred.
“Alright, you better talk to your wife. I also understand, it is common for newly married couples, but already pregnant so, do not be ashamed to admit it. Also do not make mistakes that you will regret for life,” said Doctor Ihsan by patting Aji on the shoulder.
“Doctor rest easy, I know what I should do.”
“Alright, I go first.” Doctor Ihsan immediately cleaned up the equipment.
“Just relax, I'll keep this a secret.”
Aji nodded, the doctor came out of the room leaving the newlyweds. Meanwhile, Aji himself had his head filled with questions that plagued his mind. They marry because of arranged marriages, their meetings are also very rare because Aji is always busy with his work. They also only went a few times.
Never do anything indecent, even to hold on never. It was only today that after they had legitimately become husband and wife, Aji dared to approach her. However, now he gets the shocking news about his pregnant wife. What a news that really hurt the man and his pride as a man and also a husband.
Suddenly Aji felt disgusted to be near Asha. He thought that the meek wife as well as the manners was a good woman, it was the same as the woman out there. Even more honorable than Asha. They were clearly selling themselves in order to sustain life.
The Asha family from a distinguished and wealthy family, there was no way the woman felt that she was short of money. He must have done it with his girlfriend. What a thing that Aji never imagined if he got this kind of treatment.
“If Asha already has a lover, why did she accept this marriage? Why not refuse and marry her boyfriend. Didn't her lover want to take responsibility, to make Asha finally fall silent and take it for granted? But why involve me? My wish to have a wife who is sholehah must be destroyed just like that because of the presence of Asha,” muttered Aji by clenching his hands.
The man was still silent on the spot with a sharp gaze towards the unconscious Asha. Now he is filled with hatred. The woman had already ruined her future, until whenever she would not forgive him so easily. Aji accepted this match for the sake of his dedication to both parents, but only the woman who does not know herself.
Now what is in the man's mind is how he will tell his parents. They will feel sad and hurt. Regarding both Asha's parents, either both knew or did not know about this pregnancy. If they know, it's their conspiracy. If they do not know, it is very clever Asha to hide his ugliness and this indicates that the woman is indeed unfit to be his wife.
Not long after, Asha was conscious. He looked around, only then did he realize that he had just had a wedding. She and her husband are currently in the bridal room, which is decorated in such a way. When the woman looked at the husband, there was a strange feeling because the man was holding back anger. Though Aji's view was full of love and affection, inversely proportional to the situation seen now.
“Mas, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something strange in me?” asha asked quietly, trying to speak calmly so as not to provoke the husband's anger. Judging from his expression alone Aji looked so terrible.
“Why are you doing this to me?” asked Aji in a cold tone.
Asha was surprised by the husband's tone. He also ventured to ask, “Me–do this? Do what, Mas? I don't know what you mean.”
“You want to pretend to be stupid or you really are stupid! You must know what I mean. You fainted, remember?” aji's wind is getting Asha scared.
Asha lowered her head, she only realized that she was unconscious. Asha had thought that if she had fallen asleep in bed, now the woman remembered that when she went into the room her head felt very dizzy and when she woke up was already on the bed.
