Please Let go of me

Please Let go of me
Chapter 12 - Pregnancy


In the morning, volunteers prepare to draw well water for bathing and cooking. Now it was Holy's turn to take the water, but his mind still imagined the events of last night. Looking at the three Israeli soldiers roaming the place, it could be possible to go back and slaughter them. He was very worried and did not focus on drawing the well water, the pat on the shoulder made him aware and immediately turned his head. 


"You daydreaming? Your face is also a little pale," the worried Melati asked, she immediately checked the forehead of her new friend who was indeed very hot. "You have a fever, you better take a break to the inn!" 


"No need, let me finish drawing the well water and then rest," rejected the Holy One who tried to stay strong. 


Melati did not listen to the words of her new friend, she carried a very pale weak body. Just a few steps away, the weak body fell to the floor and fainted. "Holy, holy, wake up!" he said that hysterically, looking left and right saw no one but the man who covered his face with a turban. 


Melati ran over to the man, having no other choice. "Sir, please help my friend."


"What's wrong?" 


"Holy fainting and no one, please help my friend!" he said, pleading, putting both hands together with sparkling eyes.


"Come on!" Zaid immediately followed Melati and took her, looking at the extremely pale Saints. Without waiting for time, he carried the body and took it to the medical inn. 


The doctor was examining the state of Saints, both of them looked anxious. "Sorry sir, I've been troubling you." 


Zaid smiled. "No problem."


"Hem, look, sir. I can't wait here too long, there's a lot of kids to take care of."


"You take it easy, I'm here."


"Is that not a hassle?" 


"No, go."


"Good Sir. Assalamu'alaikum," said jasmine kindly, feeling bad about the request. 


Zaid was worried about the condition of Saints, he knew the cause of the woman's condition. "Hem, maybe he's in shock to see my three subordinates." His inner. 


Shortly after, the doctor came out after the examination. Zaid immediately approached and urged the woman wearing a white coat. "What happened to him?"


"Are you her husband?" 


"Say what happened?" Zaid did not answer and felt unnecessary. 


"Yes, I'm her husband. Tell me what's up?" 


"Look, the patient has a fever due to shock, but it will disappear over time. Congratulations to you for being a father!"


"What?" 


"Your wife is pregnant, expect to be only three weeks old. It's medicine and vitamins to strengthen the fetus in the stomach, drink it regularly and make sure he swallows it." The doctor gave him some medicine, handed it over directly to the white man. "I'll excuse you!" 


Zaid pensively thought for a moment, thinking about the young pregnant Saint. "Did she have a husband? But I didn't see her husband, did she have an accident?" that's what he thought. 


Sacred opened his eyes, looked around and felt in a foreign place. "I where?" his mutter who used Indonesian, holding a slightly throbbing head, wanted to get down from the gurney. 


A man approached her, holding a hand to help. The awakened Saint, immediately moved away, seeing the figure next to him who was none other than Zaid. "Shut up there!" He tried to stand up and wanted to return to the inn, but the hand almost touched him. "I told you, don't touch me!" firmly glared at the man. 


Suci did not want to cause slander because he was in one room with a foreign man, forgetting his health because he thought about his foster children. "No limits, sir." His body gave a warning.


"You're still sick, get some rest!"


"No, the kids need me. No man and woman should be in a room that can cause slander." The Sacred Lord who wanted to get out of that place.


"Then, what about your son?" 


Sacred stopped his steps, he turned his head while smiling bitterly. Recalling her period of heartache with her husband, it was quite difficult for her to accept betrayal. "What are you talking about?" 


"I'm telling you the truth, you're two-bodied."


"that's impossible!"


"But that's the truth" Zaid replied, he didn't know how to express this incident. 


A clear thread suddenly dripped, a speech that made him speechless. The wait for 8 years was finally realized with the permission of Allah SWT, considering that he was sentenced to be barren. "O Allah, my Lord, is this the answer you give?" he muttered with a smile, stroking the flat stomach very gently. 


Zaid was silent, not understanding what the Saints were saying. "It looks like she's very happy with the fetus, which means she already has a husband. But where's her husband? What kind of husband lets a wife go far away in an unsafe country. This is one of the reasons I don't want to get married" she said.


Suci smiled and left the place after saying thank you, walking while stroking the stomach, impatiently waiting for the birth of the baby.
