Reaching Hope
Chapter 127 Contacting the Family

The next day.

Clara had just opened her eyes as the sun peeked out from behind the curtains inside her room, she wriggled following the movements of her body. His eyes were puffy because last night he fell asleep while still crying. Today his body has improved even though his stomach still feels a little pain.

After the prayer he made milk for the nutrition of his baby while eating breakfast bread that he bought yesterday. He was so excited today to work, he had to fight to support his son. Actually the savings are still a lot, even the dowry money given by her husband has not been touched at all. He must be able to save for the life of his son, he must be strong to live it himself.

She still loved her husband very much, but she was determined not to return to him, fearing that Juan's father would completely destroy her family. Clara really did not want to take the risk and chose to give up.

"Clara, why are you at work? Are you feeling well?" ask Ina's mom attentive.

"Thank God, I've been feeling good Mom,"

"What are you sick of? What's the fatigue of not working so hard like this?"

"I'm not sick Mom, after checking yesterday it turned out I was positive pregnant,"

Clara told me timidly, she was sure after this surely Ina ma'am would ask further.

"Didn't you hear me wrong? Are you married, Clara?" ask Ms. Ina full of search.

"The whole story, Mom,"

Clara was sitting near Ina, the woman was seen staring at Clara full of question marks.

"I was married for about a month, our marriage was very happy even without the blessing of my husband's parents. Our differences in degrees meant that his father never approved of our relationship, but we held on in the hope that they would soften. The peak before I decided to go and meet Mr. Iman, my father-in-law threatened to finish off my entire family if I did not leave his son. I had no choice, because he was watching me all the time,"

Clara let out a long sigh, she recalled the family and husband she loved so much. Ms. Ina seemed to be listening to her story in earnest.

"Lucky I met Mr. Faith who was kind, he offered to stay at his house for a while until I had a purpose to leave. Because I think he was looking for a cost that is still near his house and finally I can work here. That's my story, Mom,"

Clara began to shed tears, but Ina spontaneously hugged her to strengthen her.

"I'm sorry I made you sad again, I shouldn't have asked. But I'm surprised to hear you're pregnant, because I thought you weren't married,"

"It's okay, I'm getting used to it,"

After learning Clara was pregnant, Ina paid more attention to her. He reminds us to eat, drink milk and rest because Clara often forgets time when she is at work. He suggests that Clara at least tell her parents that she's okay, so they don't worry. Ms. Ina told Clara not to overtime because she was pregnant young, especially the first child was very risky.

At 17:00 Clara was delivered home by Ina ma'am, actually Clara had refused but because of her good intentions finally Clara was willing. After making sure Clara arrived safely Ina's mom came back soon.

Clara rushed to take a bath and rest while waiting for the adzan magrib. After the prayer he decided to follow Ina's advice to contact your parents.

"Assalamualaikum" said Clara.

"Waalaikum greetings, this is like Clara's voice," guessed Mr. Jarwo.

"Right sir, this is Clara. I'm sorry I just called, how are you and everyone there?" ask Clara.

"Thank God, I miss everyone,"

"Same son, we all miss it too. All frantically looking for you, your husband's men have been here several times. Father actually pity, Juan was so devastated that he had no spirit of life. He came in a few days ago, his body thinner and his eyes were sunken as if he was sleep deprived and crying a lot,"

Clara's heart felt severed, she did not expect her husband's condition to be so severe. Losing her made the man lose his way, it felt like Clara missed him so much.

"I have to how sir, I can't bear to see it that way. But I don't want to risk my family's life either,"

Clara could not bear to not cry even though she had tried her hardest not to look sad.

"Father is also confused, you should live together and be happy. I'm so sorry about your father-in-law's attitude,"

"At this time I am pregnant, said the midwife has been about 4 weeks. Juan would be very happy to know that,"

"Alhamdulillah, but how will you take care of her if by yourself? Do you just go back to the village, son?"

"No sir, I'll be here first. Maybe I'll go home when I get close to the baby, I'm afraid they'll take my baby,"

"But I'm worried about you being pregnant, where are you really, Clara?" ask Mr. Jarwo worried.

"Father don't worry, it's all very good here. Just pray I'm always strong, and please keep this secret to anyone" Clara asked.

"Yes, son, but please often tell the father about your situation and your baby yes," said Mr. Jarwo.

"Okay sir, I've been wanting a break. Tomorrow morning I have to work, assalamualaikum,"

"Yes son, hail waalaikum,"

Before going to bed Clara makes milk so that her baby will always be healthy, tomorrow she plans to buy fruit. Maybe this is the name of cravings, since returning home from work his mouth wanted a seger-seger but because he came home between the bu Ina he was reluctant to ask to stop by.

A glass of chocolate-flavored pregnant milk had lodged inside her stomach, she immediately lay on the bed. Her eyes were so sleepy yet her mind still floated to her husband. Somehow in her present state, Clara felt so guilty for leaving her just like that.

"I'm sorry, honey, I will always love you. I promise I'll see you later, if I'm ready" Clara said, kissing a picture of her husband.

Tok...

Suddenly the door to his room was knocked hard.

"Open, open the door," a woman screamed and made Clara flinch.

"Hurry and open the door before I break it!" the woman continued to bang on the door of her room.

Disturbed, Clara got up to open the door and see who was banging on the door. As he opened the door, the other residents of the boarding house were seen watching the incident without trying to stop the woman.

"Oh so you're my husband's cheating, you're the actor (the man-captor),"
