Mistake (A Mistake Can Bring Love)
Check Up

It has been a week since Aluna received a letter from Jakarta she so often daydreamed, not thinking about her condition which is two-bodied. His life was as if without feeling this time, he kept thinking about his son's future.

No one knew the contents of the envelope that Doni brought that night, Aluna was still smart to hide her problems from the family. Only Lita was the place to pit him at this moment.

But tonight. Nights that are cooler than the nights are usually because the rain has not subsided since last day. He saw Budi's face not as friendly as usual when he picked him up at Lita's place. Aluna confused herself with her father's safety, she wanted to ask what happened to Budi, but the sharp look stopped her intentions. He chose silence, harboring a desire that he really wanted to enjoy his rib meatballs.

When he entered the house, his papa's call stopped him. Budi asked Aluna to sit for a moment in the family room. Something was wrong here, making Aluna look up at her stepmom who was also looking at her sharply.

Budi threw something on the table, the brown envelope that was still on Aluna's room table, now moved in front of her. His father knew the contents of the letter. The letter that he forgot to put back into the closet, Budi finally found it.

“Explain to me!” budi's orders with an angry tone, his eyes had reddened to hold back the emotions he had been suppressing all day.

“Pa.” Aluna tried to calm Budi down while pulling her hand to sit down. But Budi's hand denied it, he wanted Aluna to explain the contents of the letter first.

“Explain!” rework Budi.

“Ya, alright.” Aluna was silent for a moment preparing her heart.

“True Aa’ Kalun already divorced Luna.” Aluna uttered in a soft voice, as if she did not want if the baby in her womb also listened to her father's behavior.

“So you've been avoiding trouble with your husband? Why don't you tell Papa!” Budi dropped his body rough on a rocking chair not far from Aluna. Unlike the face of his stepmom who was ready to curse Aluna.

“Luna just wants to calm down Pa. Luna doesn't want Luna to tell Papa. Papa's gonna hate Luna's husband, that's all. No other meaning, why did Luna hide it!”

“Why should Papa hate your husband? Did he go bad on you?!”

Aluna did not answer her papa's questions, she tried to regulate her breath, so that it was calmer, not carried away by emotions when remembering Kalun's behavior.

“Already Pa. Don't think again, Luna will submit to the Religious court after this baby is born.” Aluna then moved from her seat, taking the brown envelope that was on the table.

“How can his wife get pregnant he just sent a divorce letter! Cowardly man! Try telling him to face Papa I made satay his meat!” maki Budi who did not receive Kalun's treatment.

“Pa. Aa’ didn't know that Luna was pregnant, we weren't in touch all this time, Pa.” Aluna started to leave the living room towards her room.

“Urus immediately letter it after your child is born, Papa can still finance your life if he does not want to take responsibility!” I cried when I saw Aluna leaving.

Aluna closed the door rudely, she stood behind the door of her room while rubbing her belly that had not been seen bulging.

“Mother sure to be strong in there!” said Aluna while closing her eyes when feeling lower abdominal pain. He then walked towards the bed, lay down his body that felt tired, he did not want to be too washed away in his thoughts, considering that several times the doctor said if he should not be too stressed. Aluna fell asleep there, tired of rubbing her own stomach.

In the morning Aluna was awakened by the sound of a cell phone ringing in her bag. The new number he knew wasn't the one he knew. He hurriedly picked it up, who knew it was a call from Jakarta.

“Hallo,” reply after a few seconds of silence. But there was no word from across the phone.

“Hallo,” repeat again.

“Speaking or I turn off the call, disturb the sleeping person tau no!” it means with a distinctive sound of waking up.

“Can we meet?”

“Sorry I don't have time to meet you,” replied Aluna.

“Lun forgive me, I can't avenge you for punishing him any longer.he can only be dipen.”

Aluna threw her phone at the bed. Grunts annoyed at not being able to hear the sound again at the end of the call because his cell phone battery is dead, because last night he forgot to charge it. He continued his disturbed sleep.

The sunlight out there is still dim, because this morning the cloud is still cloudy. Aluna was aghast when she remembered that today she had to meet with the obstetrician who used to examine her. Lucky schedule check with Lita so she can cut down with her best friend.

At 10 am Aluna was ready to leave, she was waiting for her best friend who would come to pick her up. After saying goodbye to his papa, not long later Lita's car was seen entering the yard of Budi's house. Aluna waved her hand before getting into the car. As he continued to look at Bagas and Lita in turn, there was envy there, because he saw the attention of the bagas that was too much. Especially after being in the waiting room for a hospital examination. Only he was unaccompanied by the man beside him. She just smiled wryly, lamenting her life that her husband left behind when she was pregnant.

The turn of Aluna's name was called, she immediately entered the room. His eyes continued to stare at the male physician who was behind the practice table. Already three times, he had met the doctor in front of him. But it still feels very awkward.

“Please sit Miss Aluna. Your husband hasn't come home yet?” ask the doctor in front of Aluna.

Aluna shook her head, replying shyly, she did not know what would happen if Kalun was not next to her. The doctor will think she's pregnant without a husband.

“Have 8 months of age over the husband Miss Aluna has come home yes! That if Miss Aluna plans to give birth normally,” explained the doctor named Hanum.

Aluna threw out her rough breathing, after which immediately nodded her head towards Hanum.

“Mau USG all or ask for vitamins only?” tawar Hanum's.

“From Dok?”

“Means?” hanum asked with a slight sound of her little laugh.

Aluna actually looks wrong with Hanum's question, she is not ready if her stomach is seen by other men besides her husband. Last month he could refuse because surely his son was still a lackey, so it was also useless if he did the USG. But this time he also needed to see the condition of his son directly.

“Just calm Miss, I already have a fiancee, so don't worry!” clearly when he saw Aluna's anxious face.

“Can you please call a woman who can accompany me!”

Hanum immediately got up from his seat, calling an assistant who used to help him check on pregnant women. Order him to help Aluna to do the examination.

The doctor started to examine Aluna. Hanum was surprised when he saw the ovary of Aluna who lived one. The doctor interrogates Aluna, asking what happened to Aluna? Why lose one egg? And Aluna told me the outline. Without him noticing they chatted until Hanum finished the examination.

“Alhamdulillah, Allah has replaced her so soon, surely Miss Aluna's husband is very happy,” Hanum said when Aluna finished telling her story. Unlike Aluna who just smiled wryly towards Hanum.

“The age is already 14 weeks 2 days, hopefully next month we can see the gender of the baby Miss Aluna,” Hanum explained while writing a vitamin recipe for Aluna.

Aluna listens to Hanum's messages asking him to contact her in case of an emergency. Hanum pinned his phone number on Aluna's palm, so that Aluna immediately moved it to the phone.

After that Aluna immediately took the prescription medicine that Hanum had given her because Lita was already waiting for him in the waiting room of the pharmacy.
