"Jess, are you okay?"
"Em, yes," he exclaimed from within.
"We'd better get to the hospital."
"No need, sir."
"But-"
"I'm fine."
Chequek!
The toilet door was open and our eyes were open. His face was pale, if only he had not worn lipstick, he would have looked like a blood-stained person.
"I'm just nauseous, sir. Sorry, I've made you worry."
I nodded, then turned around.
Bugs!
"Jess!"
Like a leap, I ran to Jessy's side, which was already lying on the floor. I put his head on my lap, then patted his cheek softly while calling his name. There's no response. She's fainted. Without a second thought, I carried him and was about to run him to the hospital.
Scoundrels!
The look and frenzy of office employees is inevitable. They are like watching a romantic movie scene that aired live.
Without me knowing, at that time I was acting like a lover, not like a superior to his subordinates. I could have sent another employee or even told Billy to take him to the hospital. But, yeah, I did that myself. Like a hero.
I assume that's the effect of the new single feeling I just experienced. To be exact, I've really accepted my situation -- back to being a bachelor.
Arriving at the hospital, Jessy immediately received medical attention. And somehow the story goes, Roby arrives with a domineering worry - it's clearly imprinted on his face.
"Where?"
I'm shaking. "It's still being treated by a doctor" I said.
"With Jessy's family?"
Roby immediately stood up, while I was talking to Billy on the phone - saying to hang up.
"Are you her husband?" ask doctor.
Roby and I were both stunned. But for some reason, at that moment Roby suddenly nodded. And my feet were hard to step on.
"How's he doing, Doc?" ask Roby.
Doctor smile. "Mrs Jessy's okay, sir. Just tired, so he fainted. This is commonly experienced by pregnant women in the first trimester."
"Pregnant?" I said and Roby together.
Doctor nodded. "Yes, sir, Miss Jessy is pregnant. Her pregnancy was only two weeks old. Congratulations, yes, sir."
Silence, no response.
"I'm sorry then."
While the doctor passed, Roby and I looked at each other with probing eyes and seemed to be both struggling with their own thoughts. I don't know, but I'm obviously thinking a no-no. I'm angry at Roby, for suspecting that he's got Jessy pregnant. I myself do not know for sure why I was angry at it, why am I angry Roby impregnated Jessy? And obviously not because of the company's business. What I feel has nothing to do with the business. But I'm fully aware of -- I'm really mad at Roby.
"Why, Rob? There are a lot of girls out there. Why must it be Jessy?"
Roby's forehead frowned. "Sori-"
"Excuse me, Sir. The patient is conscious, "the information from the nurse becomes an inappropriate injury.
Roby nodded, then looked at me. "Sori, I'm going in first. You better go home. Would help?"
My head suddenly ached, emotion for no reason suddenly reaching the crown. And once again, for some reason, my feet moved towards the room. I saw Jessy crying in Roby's arms. I clutched my hair in annoyance, the scene seemed to make me angry. I don't know if I'm angry because I'm jealous? Am I really jealous? Jealous of Jessy and Roby's relationship? The vajarkah?
Don't know.
And in the end I chose to leave.
