So In Love
EP. 105. Vitamins

********

“Kak. . .” Sapa Shien behind the back of her sister-in-law, Dusk, who was busy cutting fruit to make smoothies, for breakfast her son, Biel, because the boy did not like to eat rice.

It's always been like this. Dusk always woke up earlier than Shien when visiting Papa's house. At first, Shien felt awkward and unkind. But over time I got used to it. Shien was even happy that Dusk took over his duties to prepare breakfast and he was only a little help. Likewise with lunch and dinner, Dusk is always more active to prepare it if it is there.

How else would you like? When the Sky took off, Shien would find it hard to break away from him. The sky is like a baby, the difference is maybe the sky is a big baby that is not funny at all. And it was fortunate that Dusk understood and was not the type of person who behaved like a guest when visiting his own parents' house. Shien felt lucky to get Dusk as his sister-in-law.

“Wake up, Shi?” Ask Dusk without distracting from his fruit-cutting activities.

“Hmm.” Sahut Shien while wearing an apron to help Dusk. “What did I help you with, Brother?” He asked after standing next to Dusk.

“The hope is ready all at the table. You are bad luck. Surely Sky drinking milk again, huh?” Twilight spoke, and it instantly made Shien's face heat up until a red hue appeared on his cheek.

Still etched clearly in Shien's memory. How embarrassed he was at the beginning of the wedding, Dusk entered his room without knocking on the door first for reasons of forgetting that the sister was married, and then saw the sky was playing with his chest.

Ahh, fuck. Shien was still embarrassed until now. It might also be a lifetime of shame.

“Ehem. . .” Shien cleared his throat to remove the clumsiness. “Anaan anyway, Brother?” His great-granddaughter while looking down embarrassed, then divert attention by grabbing a knife and banana, then cut into pieces fruit rich in these vitamins.

Shien frowned slightly. Dusk is as annoying as the sky. Both like to tease her.

“Ciyee, shy. Don't worry about cutting bananas all, kali.” Dusk apparently still mocked his sister-in-law. “Udah save again. This is enough, really, make Biel.” Said Dusk while pointing to a plate containing banana pieces and berry mix that is ready in the blender.

“Add only, Brother, the fruit. I want to ask the heavens. From yesterday he couldn't eat the thing.” Said Shien as he walked towards the fridge to pick up strawberries in addition after finishing his banana cutting activity.

“Lho, why? Tumben, usually the most when eating?” Dusk asked in surprise, his eyes moving along with Shien's movement.

Shien sighed softly with his hands busy washing the antioxidant-rich red fruit, then returned to Dusk.

“Digestion. He said his stomach was not good, Sky was also nauseous as severe vomiting from yesterday. Kiss the smell of meat the same fish immediately vomit, out of it he can only eat vegetables the same fruit. But the malemnya vomit again, this morning when I woke up too.” Later, his face appeared full of worry.

“How many days?” Ask Dusk make sure.

“From yesterday, Brother.”

“Continue, have you checked?” Ask Dusk again.

Shien shook his head slowly. “I think I should take him to the hospital today.”

But it seemed that Shien was misresponsive to his question, because that was not the answer that Dusk wanted.

“Iya. Take him to the obstetrician, keep you checking.” Sahut Dusk, now he changed his position by leaning on the lower cabinet. He looked at Shien seriously.

“Lho? How's the obstetrician? Ngaco sister, nih.” Shien clucked amusedly and started cutting the strawberry by splitting it into two halves.

“You look like you're pregnant, Shi.” Dusk snatched the kitchen knife from Shien's hand so that his sister-in-law was more focused on listening to him.

Shien blinked, then looked at Dusk with an amused look. “No way, lah. I still take the contraceptive pill until now.” The rebuttal then, slightly lowered his tone and glanced around with a wary look, timid Papa Wijaya heard it and disappointed.

“So I see you are also fat, continue to eat you a lot, malem aja you lunge into the kitchen continue to eat snacks with Biel. Yes, right?”

Shien blinked again. Where does Dusk know? As he remembered he was very careful when walking so as not to wake the house person. He also smothered Biel's mouth which accidentally came out of the room and carried him so that the child was not chatty.

“No thought you knew where.” Dusk rubbed the full face of Shien who was dumbstruck with anxiety.

“Yes I'm good to eat, brother. Can't dong brother soin eat a lot as a benchmark I'm pregnant or not? Biel also eat a lot and like to snack.” Shien's protest that still did not accept her was pregnant.

“But when sister Biel became pregnant, the Sky star kayak, Shi. Sister's pregnancy is not too fussy. But the star who is troubled by morning sickness is just as craving, the worse he is crybaby again, no cry, a little cry.” Said Dusk who remembered his first pregnancy first which was not as severe as a second pregnancy.

“But I still take the contraceptive pill, Kak.” Shien reaffirmed and reminded.

“Can be conceded. Many, really, kayak cases like that.” Sahut Dusk. Shien was speechless with a sullen face. He didn't want to believe it because it couldn't have happened to him.

“Come to your month how?” Ask Dusk later.

Shien sat himself on the cabinet table, his eyes glaring, remembering the last time he came to the moon. And the last time it happened was after her wedding reception. During these two months he did not get it, nor did he get it this month.

“Two months I'm late for menstruation, anyway.” The twilight Eyes were delighted to hear that. Surely the hypothesis is correct. “But it could be due to the influence of the contraceptive pill. When I was seventeen, I was three months late. So it also can not be a benchmark.” Imbuh Shien later.

“Now!” Sambar Dusk with a tone of voice an octave higher to make Shien with a grin of surprise. “It fix. You must be pregnant.” Connect Dusk while pointing his index finger in front of Shien's face.

“Sister, no mung–”

“Shuut! Don't say anything, sit at the dinner table there. Brother want phone Blue for nitip buyin testpack.” Dusk excitedly then took the phone stored in his apron pocket, then contacted Blue who happened to be on the way to Papa Wijaya's house to deliver the file Father to the Stars.

Shien sighed resignedly seeing the furore of his sister-in-law. And the more his mind grew. What if until Dusk wrong guess and the results are not pregnant? Maybe he will be disappointed, as well as Shien himself because in his little heart he also had little hope if the reality was true.

********

Not until half an hour, Blue had already arrived at their residence. The man was dragged by Dusk to the dining room upon his arrival. The newly joined star was astonished to see the frenzied Dusk pull Blue's hand, even guiding her to sit at the dinner table.

“Mana?” Dusk raised a hand, billed his order.

“Kak Dusk pregnant again?” Blue asked while handing over a plastic bag containing a testpack that he had bought at the pharmacy on his way here.

“Sayang?” The star gazes at Dusk full of questions as he looks at the packaging of the digital testpack issued by Dusk from a plastic bag giving Blue. “You're pregnant again?”

“Wahh, the real one, Shi? Congratulations, yes.” Blue is happy. Eventually his cursed best friend will follow to become a father like himself. Blue knows very well that the sky wants that. “Yesterday I was lucky if the sky experienced symptoms of sympathetic pregnancy. Ehh, I guess it turns out.”

“Kan hasn't been checked, Brother. Don't say congratulations.” Shien protested putting on his jutek face. “Continue sympathetic pregnancy is what?” Asked then, it sounded interesting so he wanted to know.

“Duhh, it will be later. Now you check first, let me temenin.” The frenzied twilight instantly silenced the mouth of Blue who had just opened her mouth to explain. The woman then pulled Shien's arm and took him to the nearest bathroom in the kitchen.

Shien did it himself in the bathroom, but Dusk forced him to come because he was very curious about the results. But Shien rejected it outright. Is it true that he must be considered by people when urinating? The sky never saw him. Huo.

As a result, Dusk could only wait for Shien in front of the bathroom door while pacing back and forth here and there, hoping to be anxious because it had been almost ten minutes Shien did not come out.

“Sh–” Twilight who was about to knock on the door to call Shien unplugged when suddenly the door opened.

“Mana?” Twilight Tags. Shien lethargicly handed the stick-shaped object with the small screen in the center it was at Dusk.

“Pregnant 7-8.” Dusk immediately closed his mouth, his eyes widening perfectly as if in disbelief. Her heart is still alive, even though she is not pregnant.

“Yes, Shi. Congratulations, yes. Finally your efforts every malem succeeds also.” Said the twilight a little strangely, then rushed to hug Shien happily.

While Shien was just speechless listlessly. I don't know, he was too surprised. Don't know how to describe it. He was happy, but still scared. It's too sudden.

The twilight that pranced and let out a loud noise immediately attracted the attention of the Stars and Blue in the dining room so that they approached them to the kitchen.

“So much, anyway, Kak.” Comment Blue who saw his brother-in-law was too happy. But the twilight doesn't care. He was indeed very happy because finally the brother got what he wanted all this time.

“By the way, what's the result?” Asked the curious Star as he stared at Dusk and Shien took turns asking for answers. Then Dusk without speaking directly pointed Shien's testpack at the two men in front of him.

“Wahh, congratulations, Dek.” The stars are happy. So did Blue who returned to give him congratulations.

Shien simply replied to her with a forced smile. Something was stirring his mind. How could she have been pregnant for that long and be okay, even though she continues to take contraceptive pills every day? Isn't that dangerous? It wasn't that Shien wasn't grateful that he was okay. Nope. It's just that this is too weird.

“But the yes time conceded so far, Shi? Your gestational age is almost as long as your marriage age, you know.” And the Blue represents it reveals the wedge that is in his heart and mind. “Not you say you still consume contraceptive pills every day?”

Shien nodded confidently. “I'm also confused. The pills are fake times, huh?” He then walked to the drug storage cabinet to take his contraceptive pill.

“But this I got from my obstetrician. Yes, the quality is bad?” Shien handed the bottle containing his contraceptive pill to Blue, asking her to check the pill.

“Storage temperature is usually also a trigger to concede, Shi.” Timpal Dusk who knew this from several articles he had read.

“Seconds know for themselves how the drug storage in this house.” Shien reminded the sophistication of Papa Wijaya's house that should not be doubted.

While Blue was silent while paying attention to the sticky pill he had just taken out of the small white bottle in his hand. A moment later, his lips pulled upwards, revealing a smile that was hard for everyone who saw him to see.

“This is not a contraceptive pill, Shi.”

The Blue Speech suddenly made everyone there surprised and confused at once.

“Emang shape is somewhat similar, but I'm sure this vitamin to increase appetite. I also have this at home.” Connect Blue while handing the medicine bottle back to Shien.

“Vitamin?” Shien asked, he screeched in disbelief. “To increase appetite?” Then he continued, then grinned. He knows very well who did this.

“Yep. The work of the kunyuk is definitely.” Sahut Blue guess. Who else would do something so ridiculous?

“Langiiiiiit.” Shien growled inwardly, his hands clasping tightly to the medicine bottle in his hands.

A moment later, he snatched the testpack from the hands of Dusk. “Sorry, Brother.” Then he left the kitchen to go to his room with an unreadable expression that made everyone amazed to see him.

********

Arriving at the room, Shien saw the Sky still curled up under a roll of blankets with a naked body. She approached the sky in a hurry, then grabbed a pillow to beat her husband.

“Sinny sky–” Shien instantly stops his sentence. He remembered the words of Mama who had to keep every speech while pregnant.

“SKY. IHH. . .” Shien beat the sky with a pillow blindly, leaving the sleeping man in his dream startled and opening his eyes immediately.

“You're too much, huh? Ihh, ngeselin. . .” Shien flicked the blanket of Sky until he revealed his naked body, then again beat him with all his might. Shien did not care about the Heaven-strapped scream. At this time, she was really upset with her husband.

“Shi, why are you? How do I hit me?” Sky asked a little annoyed, he then sat down and pulled the blanket to cover his body which felt cold because the air from the cooler in the room directly hit his uninhibited skin.

“Why? You ask why?” Shien said furiously, his face already flushed red withstanding anger.

“Iya, why you? Uda, doong.” The sky snatched the pillow that Shien used to beat him.

Shien looked up at the man who was rubbing his eyes. His breath was hunting. “You're so mean, huh?” The girl's voice seemed choked, Shien was about to cry. A moment later, he then threw his testpack and stopped right in the lap of Heaven.

The sky that was still not fully accumulating lives was gnawing, trying to clear his gaze at the object Shien had thrown. “Ngapain you brought an ice cream stick here? Early in the morning have you had ice cream, Shi?”

Shien snorted in disbelief. Is her husband pretending to be stupid or stupid?

“Es cream your head.” Shien poked Sky's head with a pillow, then moved from the room after he had previously grabbed his sling bag lying on the dresser.
