That afternoon the happy couple was already sitting in front of the obstetrician's practice room. The fingers were interlocked, with the head of Sephia resting on Danar's shoulders.
"Kok I can not realize if pregnant," said Sephia who just realized that this month she has not got a hitch.
"Pengen continued anyway, then forgot." Danar chuckles.
"Haid I sometimes go forward a week sometimes back a week, I guess it's usual it's been a week or so actually."
"There is no need to miss the important thing my son is here" said Danar palpating Sephia's stomach.
They left when Sephia was called, entered the doctor's office and performed several stages of examination. According to obstetricians, the gestational age of Sephia was six weeks, still as big as green bean seeds, he said. The couple looked happy when they saw the results of their child's USG.
"Couvade syndrome or often called sympathetic pregnancy, this occurs in men who experience symptoms felt by pregnant women, such as nausea, dizziness, to back pain. Just like Mr. Danar felt," said the female doctor who was about 45 years old.
"How long is Doc?" ask Danar.
"Depending, but it will usually disappear by itself .. My advice is not too in taste, make it for activity only."
Danar nodded his head, right said the doctor was not in the sense, if too in the sense of all the activities he had to do in the office would be chaotic.
"For Sephia's own mother, because this pregnancy is still very vulnerable I recommend not too achieve" said the doctor.
...----------------...
It was late in the afternoon when they came out of one of the famous houses in Denpasar. A happy face enveloped these two people. Danar did not let go of his hands from Sephia.
"Where are you going?" ask Danar when they're in the car.
"Mall ... Discovery Mall, will you? I want to sit in the garden and watch the sunset over there."
Yes, it feels like Sephia has not done that routine for a long time back to Bali. Sitting in a Mall garden overlooking Kuta beach, the, usually he and Ni Luh tell each other in a cup of coffee from one of the famous brands and buy a few pieces of BreadTalk as their snacks.
And this afternoon, Sephia wants to do it with Danar. Sitting in one of the park chairs, telling her about anything including their baby-to-be.
"It's only been six weeks" Sephia said, "that means it's only a two-week gap from Nami's pregnancy huh, honey."
Danar sipped his coffee and nodded.
"Why don't we sit in one of those coffee shops." Show Danar.
"It's better here, want to linger no one told you to go home." Sephia laughs. "I used to come here very often with the financial division, just want to see the sunset while chatting anything, including talking to you."
"By the way?"
"Yes, the cool-ass boss, the laborer," said Sephia kissing her husband's cheek.
"But love .. isn't it?"
"Forced ...."
"Kok forced?"
"In the pepet continues because it's like angkot," kekeh Sephia.
"My love is you" said Danar, tidying Sephia's hair in the wind.
"I believe it."
"Must believe me" said Danar. "I struggle to find you it's not easy, nyari you for months uh once met, I have to compete with my best friend, fortunately he realized," said Danar smiled faintly.
"Not to be discussed."
"Here," said Danar reaching for Sephia's arm to get closer. "We take good care of this." Danar caressed Sephia's belly.
Sephia leaned on her husband's shoulder.
"What do you want a girl?"
"What is important is healthy, you are healthy my child is healthy .. that is enough for me."
"Navand ...."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Which one?"
"If one day you feel I'm getting away from you, then pull me back for you .. and vice versa, remember?"
"Of course I remember .. why say that?"
"Home relationship is not only about ****, Dear ... moreover soon we will have children, it could be at any time busy you make us bored with each other, he said, so please remind me if that happens, pull my heart back for you." Sephia stared at Netra for a long time.
"I will." Danar cupped both of Sephia's cheeks giving her a fleeting kiss. "I must have drawn your heart back to me, and so must you. "we both remind each other."
"Jeez."
"What?" Danar.
"We forgot our mom's ngabarin."
...----------------...
Two weeks running already, Danar is still with his complaints and requests want this and that. Compared to the opposite with Sephia who looks relaxed with her pregnancy.
"Darling, so don't you go home?"
"Come .. but wait a minute." Danar returned busy sending a few emails and realized Sephia was so pale that afternoon.
"Udah .. Let's go home." Take Danar. "Darling, you're pale, why?"
"I don't know, I don't feel good about her stomach" Sephia replied as if holding something back.
"Kram?"
"Don't know."
"Check at the doctor" Danar said, then sat down next to his wife.
"The schedule's two weeks away."
"Well, let's check now I'm afraid you and our son are wondering." Danar looks worried.
"I may be sapped time yes, more work a lot."
"And I've told you, let me work there is still Made too, you do enough small things."
"But that's my job, when I want to hand over to Made he has another job."
"Stop! I don't want to argue, we go to the doctor now I don't want anything to happen." Danar stared at the cold Sephia.
The last few days, Danar's work has been a lot. Sephia intends to reduce her husband's burden but she herself is negligent about her health and the baby in the womb.
The couple walked side by side, entered the elevator and exited when the elevator door opened. Sephia walked leisurely without seeing any warning signs as the floor was being cleaned.
Sephia almost slipped if Danar's hand didn't hold her.
"Phia!" Danar's voice was so loud.
Some of the people who were there looked towards them. The man looked so angry, Sephia really did not look around, even the slippery floor almost harmed her and her fetus.
"I'm sorry, I really don't see." Sephia clasped Danar's hand tightly.
"You know how dangerous it is if you miss it" Danar said when they were in the car.
"I know, I'm sorry, right."
"But it's a danger, Phi. Please think about the fetus in your womb, we promised to take care of him well, but you ...."
Danar's speech came to a halt when he saw Sephia grimacing in pain holding her stomach.
"Darling ... Phia, what's wrong with you?"
