In 30ths.
27.
" On what basis do you always want to be around him? He obviously rejected me. Why do I love begging him? Where is my pride?" Akbar muttered alone in his car and headed to the hospital to treat his excruciatingly painful hand.
" Where is he?" Murmured Akbar who saw Mayang come out of the Lord God's residence.
Akbar continued to follow Mayang without feeling careless. I don't know what magic Mayang has but in fact it is powerful magic makes Akbar bend the knee.

" My head is so dizzy." Mayang stomped his head as his car stopped driving at a red light.
" Yuck!"
" This perfume is disgusting." Said Mayang who closed his nose after smelling the scent of the room hanging on his car.
" Did I catch a cold? From yesterday the nausea continues." Mayang began to doubt his health condition.
Mayang's car sped up from the Lord God's residence to the midwife clinic by the road. It's been hot since that night with Akbar. There's something strange about Mayang's body.
"Since that night, I haven't had a period. But my period is not routine. I hope there's nothing and I'm just catching a cold." Mayang talked to himself while remembering his menstrual cycle that was not smooth.
" But if I can get pregnant it's good too. I will raise and take care of you myself. At least I'm not the barren woman they say I am. I'm a normal, great woman." Mayang monologue encourages himself
" Why did he go to the midwife clinic?" Akbar monologued while furrowing both eyebrows.

Mayang is determined to enter the clinic. While from the other side of the road, a pair of eyes widened to see Mayang enter the midwife clinic.
Mayang was sitting limp in the waiting room after checking his condition.
" Happy you are positively pregnant. Please take good care of the baby. It's 5 weeks." Said the midwife who examined Mayang.
The midwife's words were like floating and circling near Mayang's ears and ringing. Between misfortune or grace. Mayang is pregnant, but without Dad?
Back Mayang remembered the insults, insults, and mockery of the old Akbar. The word if Mayang often do illegal things with other men and make it as a tool to seek unilateral benefits.
" I remember your words Akbar. And you also have to remember, no matter what happens I don't want you in my life. I'll prove it if I can without you. And this child is also not a weak child so he needs you very much. Enough of me and only me." Mayang muttered after recalling his past when Akbar insulted him and lowered his pride.
Mayang rubbed his rough tears and left after getting medicine and vitamins for pregnant women.
" You, my treasure, son. Forgive your mother for getting you in such an unusual way. But even so mom is very, very, very loving you. Believe it." Mayang gently rubbed his stomach while sitting on the stool of his steering wheel.
" Look, I love you so much." Mayang said with great affection.
"We buy milk first." Mayang said happily and gently rubbed his stomach. His face was bright and full of spirit.

Akbar continues to follow Mayang. Akbar was shocked when Mayang bought Milk for pregnant women. Akbar could not stand it anymore and immediately approached Mayang.
" Are you pregnant?" Akbar asked suddenly from behind Mayang.
" Well, what if I'm hami?" Say Mayang with ketusnya and then back masang face cueknya.
" He's my son, right?" Guess Akbar with high self-confidence.
From Akbar's monitoring, Mayang never had a relationship with another man, then it can be ascertained if only from him the tadpole seedlings hatched.
"No! He's someone else's kid. Did you forget? if I like doing things like that with just any man? I'll remind you if you forget." Mayang said that deliberately insinuated Akbar's mistake in speaking in the past that demeans Mayang deliberately.
" But you're not..." Akbar said he did not believe Mayang's words because Akbar knew from his man if Mayang did not have a relationship with any man.
" It's okay? Between us there is no more business. I have kept my promise not to disturb and show my face before you. So go, I'm lazy to fight with a lunatic." Mayang said with his leisure like without a burden in his heart.
" That..." Call Akbar who then holds Mayang's hand holding Mayang to leave.
" let go! Since that day.
Since you demeaned and insulted me. I told you once that no matter what happens to me, I will never pull you back. I will never see you. Did you forget? It was you who asked for it."
" I'm pregnant, yes I'm pregnant and this is my son. It has nothing to do with you." Said Mayang who then stepped away.
" Mayang!!"Shouted Akbar as loud as he kneeled. But unfortunately very unfortunately, Akbar's actions were not at all influenced by Mayang.
If you think I'm going to cry and whine begging you for accountability, then you're wrong.
It all starts with mistakes and sins. But I don't want to add any more sin to tie the sacred promise that ultimately ends up at the green table.
Forgive Mama Darling, Mama promised to make you happy.
Inner Mayang who gently rubbed his flat stomach while walking further away from Akbar.

" I have to get out of this place. I'm going to Grandma's hometown. Just Grandma's my best hiding place." Mayang monologues while arranging his clothes.
Mayang began packing and preparing to leave. At the same time Akbar returned to his apartment empty-handed. Akbar was only silent contemplating what had just happened.
I'm pretty sure that's my son. From what Sulaiman obtained, Mayang had never had a relationship with any man since he divorced.
If Mayang is pregnant with my son, then I will marry him. I have to be responsible anyway.
Akbar felt frustrated and vented it by drinking liquor in the storage warehouse. Akbar's habit arises when he feels depressed about the situation.
Meanwhile somewhere else.
" What? Pregnant?" Exclaimed a surprised middle-aged woman while holding her chest.
"........ ........ ....... " Report someone at the end of the phone call.
" Report whatever happened to me and also. Whatever your way, I want to know immediately who's the father of the baby he's born with." Tell the middle-aged woman who then hangs up her phone call.
The middle-aged woman sat quietly thinking of something.
Confusion and uneasiness struck his heart at this moment.
" I hope so. Yeah, I hope so..." The middle-aged woman was encouraging herself.
