Mr. Arogan's Seed
Chapter 2 ~ Live Alone

Working tirelessly to get satisfactory results, he forgot the time until it was dark and he had just arrived at the hotel he had booked earlier this morning. Rocky sat on the sofa sipping a bottle of water. The thirst again hit him because far from the wife.

Its attenuation is sidetracked on flat objects that ring occasionally. He answered and put the phone in his ear.

"Where's Rocky going? Arumi was crying. Looks like he's looking for you" Eril said. His sister across the phone.

"I'm out of town taking care of work. Anyway why is Arumi with you, where is Alea?" Rocky's forehead shriveling.

"I don't know where he is. All I know is, he left Arumi because there's an important need."

"I'm home now!"

Rocky immediately rushed to the airport without causing fatigue to work all day. The plan is for her to come home tomorrow and rest tonight, but Arumi and the mother-to-be of her son are much more important.

Along the way, Rocky keeps trying to contact Alea, but the answer remains the same, the number he's headed for is out of reach. He closed his eyes. "I hope he doesn't act stupid anymore" he muttered calmly.

I don't know what else he did that Alea disappeared without news. Whereas last night until the morning he saw Alea looking mediocre. There is always no emotion when talking and unwilling to look at him excessively.

Rocky understands the woman's hatred, but he doesn't have to act like a child when he's pregnant, right?

...

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Rocky arrived at his sister's house after a long journey. Fortunately, there was still the last flight to the capital.

"Is he still crying?" ask Rocky to sit in the living room.

"Sleep, stay overnight, brother."

"No, I have to go home. I have to make sure Alea is home or not. He's been hard to contact since." Rocky is back on his feet even though his seat is not hot.

He returns to leave little Arumi to his sister because he does not know what to bring her. The man drove his car quite awkwardly to get to the apartment quickly.

In the apartment right in front of his apartment. The residence was deliberately bought for Alea after marriage because the woman did not want to stay in her residence, citing trauma of unexpected events when she was drunk, a few months ago.

Rocky breathed a long sigh to find the apartment that was usually alive and always warm, felt very cold. His suspicions are right, Alea leaves, proving his wife's clothes and important files are not in the closet.

He reached into his pocket, then contacted someone.

"Find my wife's whereabouts now!"

"Not Miss Alea ...."

"She ran away again out of nowhere, almost giving birth."

"Good, Sir."

Rocky put his phone on the table. Gulp back a bottle of water to the toilet because of excessive thirst. How'this? He was always hard to eat if not made from Alea. He will be tormented as before. Excessive thirst and vomiting if eating something.

"Somewhat's on your mind Alea. I guess at 22, you can think grown up. Not selfish like this."

...

The house was full of dust and memories, Alea returned there from hiding. He took a deep breath because he was tired. Sitting in a rotang chair after washing it with a tissue.

"This is our home, son. We're gonna stay here. Mother will try to meet your needs," he murmured while stroking the stomach that moves quite actively, moreover there are two lives in there.

The sun that was rising from the window, made Alea's eyes closed for a moment. He got up from his seat after his fatigue was gone. He rushed to clean up the house so that he could sleep peacefully in his parents' house.

His presence in the house took the attention of some residents who were always talking to the lives of other neighbors.

"Oh-oh, his son Pak Wawan is not it? I was very big and pregnant. Where's husband?" asked one of the tenants when he saw Alea sweeping in front of the house.

"Going after seventeen, uh, now you're pregnant."

"Where are you, Neng?"

"Don't go home because you don't have a husband?"

Questions and stares continued to be heard in Alea's ears, even though she had come here to calm down.

"I'm going inside first huh, Mom." Alea's permission for not wanting to hear the rant that would make him lose control.

The woman will only focus on her pregnancy without giving a word to anyone, including the coco neighbors who do not have work.

...

Do not want to stay still and live hanging in the village of his parents. Today Alea decided to visit one of the puskesmas that she accidentally passed while going to her house on a gojek. There is a paper attached looking for administrative staff. It just so happens that he graduated from Admistration while in the city first.

After questioning and diverted to the authorities, Alea was finally accepted to work, because the government health center was in desperate need of staff, especially Alea one of the best graduates in the city.

"You can start work today. But you should know that the pay is not as big as in the city."

"No problem, sir. I'll do my best" he said excitedly.

Finally after living almost a week in his village, he got a job that would make him less miserable. Alea continued to pursue her work regardless of the difficulties of the neighbors who were always looking for mistakes, especially slandering her pregnancy out of wedlock and the disgrace of the village.

Even some residents influenced the village chief to expel him from the village. Not because she was pregnant, but the envy of Alea could directly work in the health center even though some of their children were only high school graduates.

"Kirain won't be your man. Wanted to go to college in the city until your father sold his garden and motorcycle. Good thing not to sell the house," said the mothers when Alea passed after from the puskesmas.

"Alhamdulillah now have a job, Mom. My father did not waste selling the garden."

"Have just worked at a small puskesmas already belagu. Take care of your child who has no father. If Pak Wawan and his wife live, would be very ashamed of his son pregnant out of wedlock."

Alea's hands clenched, he closed his eyes for a moment just to regulate his emotions so as not to explode in front of the gossiping mothers.

"Urus is mother's life. Take good care of her daughter. Bad luck is not on the calendar. Do not get busy with girls who are naughty, even their children who go to bablasan." Out were already words of pearl from Alea's mouth.
