Giving Birth to My Brother
20. Elin Nausea

A week has passed since Elin and Ariel's secret wedding. Over the past week, Elin and Ariel have done **** 3 times and, as before, Ariel left Elin's room as soon as she was done.

After a week, Elin rejected Galang's love. He could see the change in Galang's attitude towards him from that day on. He never asked her to talk to him again. Galang also became rougher and harder on him.

"I said you have to revise scene number 45, why do you write this way? This way the scene is no different from the previous one. We wrote again!" galang's command pointed to his laptop screen. "If you keep this up, when are you going to grow?"

Elin squeezed his knuckles. He no longer understands the attitude of Galang. In the past, Galang always said that he had the potential, now he is seen as an undeveloped person. Ah, involving the problem of romance in work is indeed annoying, he thought.

"Good, Sir. I'll do it later" Elin said. He came out of the room with his face folded.

"You're scolded?" asked the curious Mirna half-dead with Elin.

"Not just do it" replied Elin.

"El, you're being honest. You don't actually have a boyfriend, do you? You never chat with guys or post photos with guys. Seriously you got a boyfriend?"

"Emang why the hell? I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend with you?" ask Elin annoyed. It's been a week now, Mirna has been talking to herself about her fake boyfriend. Mirna still cannot accept if Elin rejects Galang's love.

"Yes dong. You also know I have a boyfriend" Mirna said, chuckling. "I'm sure as hell, since my heartbreak with you, Mr. Galang so serem. He's hurt the same way you are, but everybody's gonna get it."

Elin grunts. That's absolutely right. Galang has been jarring since a few days ago. But he tries not to care. He just had to finish the script as fast as he could.

***

Elin is complacent today. After days of working on the script, he got the green light from Galang. "It's nice. You have struggled. I'm sure your script will go into trending movies."

"Nothing needs to be revised, sir?" ask Elin.

Galang. "Later adjust it as you take the scene. So you have to monitor the production process."

Elin gasps. "That's really a script I want to make a movie?"

"I told you. I have contact with the production team, they have also started looking for actors for the characters. You can be proud now. Congratulations to you!" Galang.

Elin closed her lips in disbelief. This is his dream. He thought, after getting married, he would miss something like this. "Well, thank you, sir. I'm really thankful!"

"OKAY. But, the production team wants you to join directly in the process. If you are not involved, they may refuse" Galang said.

Elin thought for a moment and nodded slowly. "okay."

"Yes, you go out first."

Elin nodded slowly. He thanked her once again and left the room. Weakly, he sat in his chair. He should have been happy, but there was something else that troubled his heart. He hasn't had a period since a few days ago. Almost a week he was late. He has not told Sinta or Ariel, he has not done the test because he is very busy completing his work.

Elin really wanted the script to be made into a film. However, if she really had been pregnant, Ariel would not have let her take this job. The filming will take place in several cities, if it fits the description. Elin took a deep breath and massaged her forehead.

"You why? It's not that your script is okay" Mirna said.

"Yes. Mr. Galang said my script could go into production" Elin said.

"Cool!" peekit Mirna's. "I'll tell you another. We'll have dinner tonight."

"Eh, don't go first" said Elin objecting.

However, Mirna cannot be prevented. He typed quickly in his team's conversation group. He announced that tonight they will be eating with Elin as a form of gratitude for the script will go up to the production process of the film.

So that night, in Mirna's car, Elin and her friends gathered in a tavern. They had voted before and decided to eat at Madam Tian's Mie store, a menu that was viral on social media.

"What would you like to drink?" asked Elin who was recording what her friends ordered.

"Just like you, warm tea is not a problem" replied Galang.

"OKAY. 4 Special fried noodles, 3 seafood noodles and 4 spicy mixed noodles yes. Drink all the warm sweet tea." Elin lays out her order to a waiter.

"Okay, please wait."

They also chatted this and that, some of them congratulated Elin while Galang just smiled thinly. He had ignored Elin for over a month. They rarely talk together, but he is still very proud of Elin, he also still likes Elin.

"Photos first," said Dimas while installing kemera mobile phone.

"Rapiin used to dong food," said Mirna. He wants to get the best pose with the menu that is viral.

"Totally!"

After taking pictures and uploading to social media, they also prepare to eat food. Not to forget, they thanked Elin who had bought them. Next to Elin, Mirna immediately brushed the seafood noodles. Mirna gave her thumbs up to the others, and they nodded in agreement. However, Elin only stirred up her food because she felt no taste.

"Why are you, El?" ask Susi curiously.

"No papa" replied Elin. He tried to scoop up the special fried noodles, but his stomach reacted immediately. "Yuk!"

"El, are you sick?" ask Galang.

Elin shook her head slowly. "I go to the toilet first."

Elin left her friend's desk and ran to the toilet. He spewed out the liquid many times until he felt relieved. His head felt spinning fast, he was completely dizzy as well as limp. Imagining fried noodles alone has made him nauseous again.

Elin shook her head as she washed her face. He was so nauseous, dizzy and he was late for the moon. It seems right, she is already pregnant, he thought inwardly. Elin felt her stomach while reflecting. "Did I just catch a cold?" muttered.

Elin reached into her cell phone. He pressed the call button on Ariel's contact. Because he does not have a car anymore, he must take public transportation or online motorcycle taxi every time he travels. Now, however, he was completely limp. He wants to go home soon.

"Hello, you haven't come home yet?" ask Ariel across the street.

"Yes, I'm eating the same food as me, but I'm not feeling well. I'm nauseous." Elin rubbed her lips with a handkerchief.

"Nausea?" ask Ariel again.

"Yes. I'm gonna get picked up. A whisper? I'll send you the location" Elin said.

"okay."

Elin turned off her call and immediately sat down with her friends.

"Aren't you papa?" ask Mirna worried.

"No, Mir. I catch wind mostly staying up," replied Elin origin.

"Geez, Mr. Galang so do not love that heavy-heavy for Elin," said Mirna with lips manyun.

"Would you like to go to the hospital?" ask Galang.

"No, Sir. I am healthy. I just," Elin stared at her plate, "not so tasteful."

"But you have to eat, El. It's really good" Dimas said.

"Yes, this is eating" Elin said. He tried to chew and chew. Elin suppressed the nausea that attacked when she swallowed. He didn't want to throw up in front of his friends. So he decided to give up. "I'd like to get wrapped up."

Mirna looked at Elin curious, because of the culinary matter of Elin is her interest. It's a little strange to see Elin not eating like this, but it's probably true that Elin is sick.

"Who are you going home with, El?" ask Susi. They were riding Mirna cars, some others were riding motorcycles and riding Galang cars.

"I picked up my sister" replied Elin. "That's like it's coming." Elin rolled her eyes around. Just at that moment, Ariel's red car seemed to pull over. "I'm going home first. Hye!"

Elin runs into Ariel's car, then gets in. Both of Ariel's eyes swept outwards so that he could see some of Elin's friends including Galang. He clearly caught the direction Galang looked at his car. He ignored it and then ran his car slowly.

"Why are you nauseous?" ask Ariel. "Are you sick?"

"No, Brother. I'm .. I'm actually late for my period" replied Elin. He looked at the shocked Ariel. Ariel pulled the car back.

"You filled in?" ariel asked as she looked at Elin's stomach.

"I don't know, I haven't tested."

"What the hell are you? You should have just told me or Sinta. How many days is it late?" asked Ariel enthusiastically. It's pounding hard. He did not sleep with Elin often during the month of their marriage.

"Almost a week" replied Elin.

"Oh yeah, we're going to the hospital. I want to see my son" Ariel said, touching Elin's stomach.

Ariel's actions suddenly make Elin as if hit by a stun. His heart beat even more unruffled as he felt Ariel's gentle caress. Hesitating, she held Ariel's hand on her stomach, wanting to clasp Ariel's hand even tighter, but Ariel pulled her straight away.

"We're going to the doctor now. I hope you're really pregnant. I can't wait to tell Sinta."
