Reaching Hope
Chapter 126 Clara Pregnant

Two weeks later.

Juan is back to health, but has no spirit of life. The days he lived just looking for his wife with Bagas the rest he just languished in the apartment. Cindy is also very worried about Clara's fate and helps find Clara with her husband in the middle of the day. Jhony and January have also visited all of Clara's friends, from schoolmates to coworkers at the factory, but have yet to find Clara.

Juan's body is getting thinner, his eyes began to have eye bags because they rarely sleep and cry too often. Her mother felt very guilty, because she knew if Clara left Juan because of her husband's coercion but she could not do anything.

No one knew of Clara's whereabouts, nor her parents in the village. Because after changing the number Clara had never contacted them back. Clara's departure provides a deep sadness in the hearts of all who knew her.

While Clara's life isn't easy either, every day she's busy working. She learned to sew, make patterns and all the skills that supported her work. Not infrequently he came home when almost magrib, his body felt very tired every day. But he was grateful because by doing a lot of activities made him forget for a moment with all the problems he experienced.

Huek...

Clara threw up, her body feels bad. His stomach was nauseous and his head was dizzy. He immediately smeared his body with eucalyptus oil after bathing. After the prayer he immediately lay down on his bed.

At about 22:00 he woke up, when he went to the bathroom he was vomiting again. His body felt so weak, he decided to go back to sleep. But just lying down he felt nauseous again so he had to go to the bathroom.

Huek...

"God, why is it so bad, my stomach hurts so much" said Clara grimacing her stomach.

After applying eucalyptus oil, he tried to go back to sleep. His stomach felt a little cramping, maybe because from earlier he felt nausea and vomiting. Despite enduring the pain, Clara fell asleep too.

The next day he woke up for the morning prayer as usual, but his body also did not improve. After bathing and praying he decided to rest again. Today he does not work permit and plans to go to the health center later. With a slightly weak body and withstanding nausea he went out to buy breakfast and warm tea.

His body slightly improved after breakfast and drinking warm tea, but the nausea did not go away even though he had taken herbal medicine to catch a cold. Right at 8 am he rushed to the nearest puskesmas, he chose to ride a rickshaw because it was not strong to walk, his head felt dizzy. After waiting for a while his name was finally called.

"Mother Clara," call the puskesmas clerk.

Clara came in immediately, she conveyed all her complaints. But the doctor instead asked about the marriage and when she last had her period, leaving her a little confused.

"I've been married for almost 4 weeks Doc, if the last period if not wrong 5 weeks ago," replied Clara.

The doctor continued to dig up information from Clara, she kept smiling to hear her story. Clara was astonished by the attitude of the Doctor, who she thought was not empathetic to her. He was complaining of pain but the doctor responded not seriously, instead smiling from earlier.

"It looks like the mother is pregnant, try this test. Put Clara's mother's urine in here and give it to the lab, "The doctor gave the testpect and a place to hold the urine.

"Didn't I hear wrong, Doc?" clara asked doubtfully.

"Of course not, pregnancy is a natural thing for married women" the doctor replied.

Clara did as the doctor told her to do. He tried to wear a testpect, after waiting for a while appeared 2 lines, one bright red and one slightly less bright. Clara's heart was completely unhinged, she felt very happy and sad at the same time. After giving the container of urine to the laboratory, he returned to the doctor's place to notify the test results.

"It seems to be true my guess, all the complaints that were experienced because Ms. Clara was pregnant. To be more convincing we wait for the laboratory results, please you can wait in the laboratory waiting room,"

"Okay Doc, thank you,"

Clara stepped towards the room the doctor had intended. He stroked his stomach gently, a drop of free-falling tears on his cheek. She was so happy that her marriage with her husband managed to make them have children, but she felt very sad because she was pregnant in a state when choosing to leave her husband.

"Mother Clara,"

Clara flinched as her name was called, she immediately wiped away her tears. He was given a piece of paper containing laboratory results, he did not really understand because of its content about the term in medicine. As per the instructions he should show the results to the doctor.

"Congratulations, Miss Clara, the results are positive. From the calculation of the last menstrual age of the mother's womb has been running 4 weeks, I will prescribe some drugs and vitamins to reduce nausea and vitamins so that the mother does not get sick easily,"

The doctor gave her a piece of paper containing a prescription that she had to take in the pharmacy room.

"Thank you, Doc" Clara said before leaving the room.

He immediately headed for the pharmacy room, while waiting for him to continue thinking about how the fate of his son will be. Should he call his family to say all this? Can't bear the feeling he's bearing it all himself, he really needs a shoulder to lean on.

After getting medicine and vitamins he rushed to his boarding house, on the way did not forget he bought a water heater and milk pregnant women. Although in this difficult situation the baby in the womb must get enough nutrition.

Once at the cost he immediately made the milk he had bought, he had to drink it even if he did not like it. Clara did not like to drink milk long ago, but for the sake of the baby she was carrying she had to do.

When he finished he decided to do light activities, he cleaned and washed his dirty clothes. After he finished he ate a little bread and then prepared to rest.

"Darling, forgive your mother yes, you must feel the pain you feel. Your father would be happy to know this news, he's been so looking forward to your presence all this time" Clara stroked her belly, talking to her baby.

She took a picture of her marriage to Juan and kissed him. Clara missed her husband's affection so much, she couldn't stem her sadness anymore and cried so badly without making a sound. Can imagine how hard his chest is.

In the apartment, as if feeling the longing of his wife. Juan also shed tears for no reason.
