Giving Birth to My Brother
21. Elin Pregnant

Ariel's car stopped in front of an obstetrician's clinic. She had been hoping for Elin to really get pregnant. He was also impatient to tell Sinta. If Elin is pregnant, that means she will no longer need to share her nights, she only needs to be with Sinta, according to the content of the agreement.

"We check here first, if you go to the hospital like to queue and have to reserve first" said Ariel while opening the car door.

Elin did not refuse, she was also already curious about her condition. Once inside, Elin was asked to wait as there were two more queue numbers. Elin was sitting restlessly next to Ariel.

"You've been nauseous since when?" ask Ariel.

"Just like yesterday, yesterday was not nauseous but lazy eating," replied Elin honestly. He also felt so tired, but he guessed it was only because he worked too hard, even staying up for a few nights.

Ariel nodded. "So you haven't had dinner yet?"

"Not yet, just ate a spoon earlier. But I'm so nauseous."

"Well, we'll stop by for food, what do you want?" ask Ariel again.

"I don't know, I don't want anything, sister," said Elin puzzled.

"Later, you think again. Who knows, you want something" said Ariel.

Elin just nodded. He looked at the couple near them. He smiled faintly when he saw the action of the husband who was rubbing his wife's distended stomach. They talked softly and sometimes laughed together. Later, Elin sees how the husband opens a drink for his wife. It was sweet, thought Elin. In the past, when Sinta was pregnant, Ariel was like that.

Now, he wondered inwardly, would Ariel treat her like that later if she were really pregnant?

"Congratulations, your wife is pregnant. Now it has entered the age of 6 weeks," said Dr. Ridwan to Ariel and Elin.

Elin looked at Ariel. He saw a happy look on his brother's face, a big smile seemed to decorate his handsome face. Suddenly, Elin smiled stiffly. He turned his gaze on the USG inspection monitor. He did not understand much, but Doctor Ridwan said that the little creature had grown in his womb. He'll grow up there.

Elin blinked slowly as the nurse cleaned her stomach. He sat cautiously because of his dizzy head and then he got out of bed.

"Are there any complaints so far?" ask Dr. Ridwan while writing a prescription.

"I've been nauseous since, Doc. I'm tired of being dizzy, too" replied Elin.

"Yes, that's natural. Because there are hormonal changes, but later it will usually disappear on its own even though there are pregnant women who feel these symptoms until the third trimester," said Dr. Ridwan explained.

"I work, I don't want nausea in the office, I can get medicine right?" tanyakanya. He felt Ariel's cold gaze now.

"Hmm, this is my recipe. Although nausea and vomiting, try to keep eating in small portions. You can also snack on fruits or nuts or biscuits." Dr. Ridwan wrote down some food recommendations for Elin in his prescription.

"Yes, thank you. When should I check again?" ask Elin.

"Three or four more weeks can."

Elin nodded slowly. For some reason, he was impatient to see his baby again. Maybe next month the baby is growing. He may also be able to hear his heartbeat.

"What do you want to eat?" ariel asked as they left Doctor Ridwan's room.

"What yes?" mumbling Elin.

"Love to eat cheese martabak, will you?"

Elin shook her head hard. He imagined the cheese was already nauseous, but he really liked cheese before. "I want the seger, wedang ronde aja, brother."

"But you should eat too, El. Cassian baby," said Ariel reminded. "We bought chicken soup. That's also seger."

"okay."

Along the way, Elin groped her stomach. There was a sense of happiness as well as amazement lodged in his heart. She will be a mother, although she will not be able to take care of the baby, she thought to herself.

"You wait here, I buy martabak first" said Ariel. He looked down at a shop not far from the martabak seller. "I'm looking for wedang ronde with chicken soup. I think it's around here."

Elin nodded slowly. He checks his phone as soon as Ariel steps away from the car. There were some messages from Mirna, her mother and Galang. Elin began to read one by one.

Mirna: El, are you home yet?

Mirna: Don't forget that scraping. Watch out tomorrow do not enter the reason for the cold.

Mirna: T. T

Elin: Relax, Mir. Not going in a day feels heavy like you.

Elin: <3

Elin began to read some messages from her mother. He was a little nervous because of this he had become a traitor in his family. He had a forbidden marriage with his foster brother.

Mama: El, how are you? Some days you don't chat Mama. You're not kangen?

Mama: Gladis elects to be a flag raiser at KBRI. You congratulate me, don't forget.

Mom: How is your sister? Is there any news yet that Mama will have another grandchild? Your brother is hard to talk to.

Elin took a deep breath. He was typing slowly to reply to his mother's message.

Elin: I'm healthy, Ma. I was so busy with my job that I didn't have time to chat.

Elin: Sorry.

Elin: I'll chat Gladis, just calm down. Surely hepi is a child.:- D

Elin: Mama asked her sister. Doain I hope your granddaughter will be present soon.

Elin was pounding as she typed in the last message. She is pregnant with her adopted mother's grandchild. He returned to his flat stomach. Not wanting to continue to be agitated, Elin also read a message from Galang.

Boss: What are you sick with? Are you tired because I told you to go after the deadline?

Boss: Rest yes. Don't stay up tonight.

Elin smiled faintly at the attention given by Galang. He immediately typed a reply.

Elin: I'm not papa. I went to bed early.:-)

Elin rests her head on the car windshield, but then she remembers some of the drugs and vitamins prescribed by Doctor Ridwan. He also took a small pocket in the back seat. Elin snorted softly, she very much disliked having to swallow tablets like this. However, for the sake of the baby in the womb, he had to drink, he thought.

"Old one" Ariel said as she returned to the car. Elin just nodded, she was playing an online game on her phone. "We're going home."

"okay."

Ariel notices Elin still playing her phone. He waited a while for Elin to save the phone. "I want to talk."

"What's up, brother?" ask Elin.

"It's about your job. I want you to stop" said Ariel.

Elin looked at Ariel restlessly. Actually he didn't want to stop. He wants to keep working, he has to work if he wants his script to go up to the production process.

"Can you give me some time? My stomach isn't growing yet, no one will know I'm pregnant" Elin said. "I have a big project. My script will be turned into a film. But the production wanted me to jump straight into the field. It's my dream, brother."

Ariel weighed for a moment. The film production process will usually take a long time. "What is the film about? Where was the filming?"

Elin bit her lip. He was silent for a few moments. "It's a romance film between two hostile gang camps. If I don't know when, but if everyone agrees, the casting will begin. Then ...."

"Then, it's still a long time dong. It could be another 1 or 2 months just starting shooting," Ariel cut.

"Yes, maybe. But I'm only 1 month pregnant. It's not that my stomach is going to get bigger, I can still work" Elin insisted.

"Where is the possibility of filming?"

"Maybe in some cities" replied Elin.

I heard Ariel's breath. He could hear Elin's frustrated tone, he also knew Elin had this kind of dream. However, he could not take the risk.

"You'd better be at home" said Ariel. He could feel Elin's disappointed look now. "As per the agreement, you should keep your pregnancy a secret from everyone. You know the changes in yourself all day, right? You will continue to experience it from tomorrow. You could be nauseous and vomiting while you work, your friends would be suspicious."

"If I get caught pregnant, I'll say I'm pregnant with my boyfriend" said Elin, who insisted.

"No!" sergeant Ariel. "I don't want you to work. I want my baby to be all right so you're following me!"
