Jovian Alton (Life-Life Bodyguard)
Nausea

The sound of birds chirping sounded so soft, as if they were singing merrily, while the sunlight still looked timid to reveal itself. A cool breeze blew past the thin curtains that covered the windows, when almost all the vents in the stilt house were open.

The clock is at 06:30 in the morning.

The parents were talking in the television room. Discuss the events to be held there.

"For decoration we may ask Kiana about the theme of how. When it comes to catering I know good, so Mr. Danu and Ms. Herlin don't have to worry. Including for the budget to be spent." Leni looked at the two parents Kiana alternately.

"Oh if the matter of budget we do not agree that only Mr. Jonathan and Bu Leni bear. Let us also take part, .. because this is the event of our two children, as well as the thanks of our grandchildren together as well." Herlin interrupted.

Leni who was currently adamant to bear the cost of the wedding reception between Kiana and Jovian was about to return to answer. However, Jovian's sudden voice rang out making the four people silent, and turning towards the sound was heard.

"Morning, my God! Are you guys going to be pounding continuously like this? You guys talk about it almost all the time, and still haven't found a bright spot?"

Jovian looked so fresh, even his hair still looked wet. He closed the door of his room tightly, then walked over to the old men.

"You don't have to make a fuss. For the event now let Jovian bear it. Jovian also has money, why do you still have to rely on you? What habits then? I'll get used to you guys, and I won't work." He said, then sat on the carpet, with the men.

Danu, Helin, Leni and Jonathan were silent at once.

"Have no more fuss. Jovian knows Papa, Mama, Mami and Papi have enough money. But let Jovian be independent now, and do what Jovian was supposed to do!" Said again.

The four of them looked at each other.

"Your money hasn't been collected yet, Jo!" Finally Leni said.

Worry clearly meets the feelings of a mother. Given that Jovian had a hard time spending a lot of money on his first marriage, and did not bring the slightest of what he had with Eva after they separated.

"Who said? There's dong, Mami just calm down!"

"You've been unemployed for two years. And your savings money is certainly eroded every day. Moreover, you do a lot of things while trying to avoid your heartbreak, Jovian!" Leni insists.

Jovian smiles.

"Can never work also be a bodyguard prospective wife who is not expected. Mami doesn't know my salary is big either, where's her bonus Kiana again." He said words full of jokes.

Making himself laugh because he felt funny, as well as the four parents who gathered there.

"So how? You can actually finance this yourself?"

Jovian nodded with confidence.

"But Kiana once said to Mama. You're buying a house." Herlin who had fallen silent opened his voice.

"It's about easy, Ma."

"You're so stubborn, Jo!" The father said.

"Oh if it's just blame Mommy. Kan Mami too, if you already have the intention, then no one can disturb him. So am I!" He said, then smiled.

Jonathan let out a long sigh, then he looked at his wife's face.

"Lho, Kiana didn't come out? Is he sick again?"

Danu dyed, looking for the whereabouts of his daughter after waiting for quite a long time. However, the woman did not appear.

"Former sleep again, .. has not shown any signs of waking up."

"Not nausea and vomiting?" Herlin stared fixedly at her daughter-in-law.

Directly on the limp of the head by Jovian.

"Yes already. What's the middle way?"

Kiana's father returned to the original discussion. He can't just give up. Given what he had, and a lot of time had already been sacrificed for his daughter's happiness, and it felt impossible to just be quiet without doing anything.

"There is no middle ground, let me be …"

"What if we join the fund? Jovian can spend as much as Jovian can, the rest we contribute."

"Can't, sir!"

"Just if you want to run smoothly, and there's no commotion after this. Let's collect the budget money, and make the event as lively as possible, invite all the villagers, .. count the people's party." Danu with his idea.

Jovian opened his mouth again to deny.

However, the consent of Jonathan and the 2 women nearby left the man with nothing more to do, other than agree to the wishes of his parents.

"You really can't be rejected!" Jovian rolled both his eyes.

"Of course!"

The four of them answered.

"Geez!"

Jovian shook his head with an unexpected feeling.

"The bookkeeper Mang Adang gave to Papi. Later you can see, the results of the sale of tea shoots have also been sent to your account. Everything's safe, so let's call the service parties we'll need." Jonathan smiled happily.

"Good idea." Leni.

"Faster is better." Herlin spoke up.

"And after this you have to help Denis. Maybe fly to Kalimantan to see what Kiana will do after her Papa retires." Danu laughs.

Hearing that Jonathan smiled widely, revealing a row of his teeth that were still lined up intact.

"Ah glad now our family feels really united." Leni grabbed Herlin's body, and hugged her.

"It has to be like this." Herlin patted his big arm.

"Hemmm, .. For the sake of the whole family, Jovian will do what he should do. Take care of the garden, look at the mine, and do other things you enjoy."

And everyone laughed.

"Don't forget! Your brother is a lot outside Indonesia, and the ticket to come here you are responsible." Leni reminded.

"Ah right. It's a real budget joint venture yah!"

They laugh again.

***

Kiana clenched her forehead, while working her eyes with her moving hand rubbing the empty spot beside her.

"Darling?" Call Kiana without opening her eyes.

Silent, there was no sound of speech or movement, only the sound of a clockwork second filled the room.

09.30 WIB.

Kiana painstakingly opened her eyes, drawing in the consciousness that had disappeared for several hours. However, suddenly he felt very dizzy, the world seemed to rotate very fast, to the point that he felt nauseous for no definite reason.

"Darling?"

Kiana shouted again, this time in a weaker voice as it held the constantly turbulent taste within her stomach. The room was completely empty. There was no sign of Jovian's existence, even after he had repeatedly called out to her.

"Geez!" Kiana sighed in frustration.

The woman uncovers the blanket that rolls up her body, lowers both legs slowly, then rises very carefully.

His head was getting dizzy. And Kiana really could not walk even a step, making the woman again sit on the edge of the bed.

"Mama? Mommy?"

Kiana let out all her strength, until the sound she let out became very loud.

"Bi Wiwin?"

Long time no word from behind the door of his room. Then after that the door handle moved, and the last person he called appeared after the door opened.

"Miss?" Wiwin's voice shrieked loudly.

He was quite surprised when he heard the screams from inside the room belonging to the son and son-in-law of the host.

"Bi? Ask for help bopong to the toilet can?"

Without saying much Wiwin approached Kiana, grabbing the two little hands of the woman. And help him to stand up.

However, Kiana suddenly vomited her entrails just like that, making the two quite surprised, let alone Kiana who felt bad for her house assistant-in-law.

"Auntie, sorry!" Kiana immediately let go of her embrace on Wiwin, then rested on the shiny wooden floor in her room.

Kiana's face grew pale and grim, even her eyes turned red as if she was holding back tears.

Dizziness has not disappeared, even increased many times, so he was unable to withstand the nausea, and returned to spewing enough water.

Yes, because there is not much food consumed by Kiana, so Kiana just vomited water continuously.

"Sorry, Bi!" Kiana apologized again.

His gaze was fixed on Wiwin, while staring pity. While the woman looked so panicked, and ran to reach for the tissue on the nightstand.

"Miss should go to the doctor?" Wiwin looks pity.

Deftly and tenderly he rubbed Kiana's mouth with a tissue.

"Auntie got me vomited!"

"It's okay, it can be cleaned."

Kiana started sobbing. His body felt very weak again.

"Neng Kia is still strong? Let's take Aunt to the bathroom to clean up."

Wiwin carried Kiana's arm, and placed it on his shoulder. However, when he tried to make Kiana stand, in fact the woman already really did not have the energy.

"I can't, Mom. I'm dizzy!" Kiana's cry grew louder.

Which of course made the attention of all the people who had just returned from the back area of the house surprised. Especially Jovian. He ran as fast as he could towards his room, where the door of the room was wide open.

Blamed Kiana. Sitting down with very bad conditions.

"Babies?" He was even more shocked when he saw some traces of Kiana's vomit scattered on the wooden floor of his room.

Kiana's cry became more and more.

"I'm sorry I can't take it." He said doubtfully.

Kiana was afraid that Jovian was angry, especially when her gaze saw the arrival of Leni and Jonathan, which was then followed by Herlin and Danu.

"Sorry." She's shy.

"It's okay, Neng. Tidy aunt, don't cry." Wiwin tried to encourage Kiana.

Jovian approached, then crouched down in front of his wife.

"Let's help me clean up." He scooped up his wife's tiny body, then he took it into the bathroom.

"Kiana's down, Bi?" Herlin looked panicked.

"No, I was going to take you to the bathroom. But the hunt isn't strong." Wiwin.

"Kiana's situation is getting worse." Mumbled Danu.

Of course his heart felt finely sliced, when he saw the state of his soul mate who did not improve.

"May make some ginger milk first."

Leni hurried away.

"Bi, please tidy up everything. I'd like to call the local midwife first to check on Kiana." Jonathan says.

Wiwin replied with a slow nod.

"Bu Herlin could be here to help Kiana later, if only something happened that was not possible. And Mr. Danu, come with me, .. I don't dare to drive." Jonathan Pinta.

Danu also said, there was nothing he could do but follow Jonathan's request, considering Yanto had returned to Tangerang to keep watch in his mansion.

"Here, don't cry." Jovian spoke in a low voice that sounded soft.

Slowly and tenderly Jovian opened up all the clothes Kiana was wearing. And after everything was lost, he took his wife to a rinsing spot, while sitting her on a small plastic stool that was available there.

The small splashes of water touched Kiana's body, flowing warmly from above the head to wet the entire body.

Jovian brought bath soap and shampoo, then affixed to Jovian's body in sequence. Kiana was silent while bowing her head, while Jovian smiled faintly.

"Babies?" Call Jovian, who instantly makes Kiana's gaze lift.

The man is still smiling.

"Still dizzy?"

"Little."

"Why not call me? Already know dizzy and limp, why still force to keep walking alone?"

Jovian gently rubbed the surface of his wife's body.

"I've been calling you. But you didn't answer, .. I called Mama and Mami too. They also do not answer, call Bi Wiwin just come. But I'm not strong, and I'm throwing up in my room." Her face is sad.

"Sorry your room is dirty."

Jovian shook his head.

"It's okay, dirty can be cleaned. What matters is that you're both healthy and strong."

Kiana nodded. Slowly his face turned back into a shady one.

And after a few minutes.

Jovian came out of the bathroom, having finished helping Kiana clean up. And he found his room was tidy.

Even fragrances exude the sense of smell of Jovian and Kiana.

"Come here, Mama help." Herlin appeared from the outside.

Jovian carried Kiana on the bed, and laid the woman who was currently wearing a bathrobe, as well as a towel that was tightly coiled on her head.

"Mom doesn't know which clothes to take!"

"It's okay. Just jovian." Reply to the man.

"Really?"

Jovian.

"Yes, Mama's out for a minute."

Herlin got a nod from Jovian as well as Kiana.

***

"Where does it hurt?"

The midwife called Danu as well Jonathan immediately asked as she saw Wiwin in the central room area. The woman carried a tray of fruit plates and a glass of milk that Leni asked to give to her son-in-law.

"There's room, Mom. Just enter!"

One in a batik uniform approached the door of Jovian's room, knocking on it several times to make everyone there.

"Excuse me."

"Eh, get in the Midwife!" Said Leni who was currently sitting on the edge of the bed, near Kiana sitting half lying down.

The woman in question immediately entered, after two middle-aged men afterwards.

"Why is this tea?" He asked with a friendly smile.

"When pregnant, Mom. Continues dizziness, nausea and vomiting getting worse and worse. At first it was only in the afternoon, but now it is almost every minute. It doesn't have to be treated or anything." Obviously Leni.

Herlin listened while continuing to massage Kiana's hands.

"really? But now it looks seger. Not rich people who are dizzy continue to experience vomiting. Not too weak either!"

The midwife approached, then did some checks. And she did not find any symptoms that harmed Kiana as well as her baby. Kiana's face was radiant, not visible if the woman was having trouble. Even now he was devouring pieces of fruits that Wiwin had given with passion.

"But I was vomiting so much." Herlin joked.

Midwife just smiled.

"What now, tea? Still dizzy, nauseous and vomiting? Or limp to the point of not being able to walk and do some activities?"

Kiana looked towards Jovian who was currently sitting on the sofa, while staring at the screen of her phone. Reply to a few short messages with his best friend who is far away in Tangerang there.

Then looked at the figure of the neatly dressed woman beside him.

"Now it's not, Midwife. I'm better as it is. Dizziness is gone, nausea is as vomit as well." Kiana replied casually.

Then cram the pieces of kiwi fruit back into his mouth.

Everyone is stunned.

Moreover, Leni and Helin who had witnessed how tortured Kiana was. However, right now Kiana really looks fine.

"Thank God it's better. The doctor's vitamins still there?"

Kiana nodded.

"How pregnant is she?"

"I don't want to drink pregnant milk, Mom. Just drink some ginger milk." Answer Kiana.

"Feed?"

"Not eating. Just fruits!"

"After this should be forced to eat well! Choose a side dish that has enough nutrients, and contains folic acid."

Kiana seemed to think.

"What a mood Mom!"

The woman spoke as she pleased. Kiana's speech style is exactly what it used to be, which of course makes everyone confused. However, not with Jovian, the man was busy with the thing within his grasp.

He looked relaxed, especially when he heard that his wife was fine.

"She doesn't need medicine, she just needs her husband." Inner Jovian cheered happily.

His confidence has increased. Especially when he saw Kiana who was really fine if he was with the woman. And looks very tormented if he doesn't get her by his side.
