From a distance, Violet looked out of the apartment building. Then take a taxi. And in the same area, Dustin kept watching him from inside the car.
"To the hospital, sir." Violet said to the driver. The middle-aged man nodded politely, then drove off his car. Dustin followed him.
Violet let out a long sigh, then stroked her still flat stomach. Look out the window.
Mama doesn't know we can hang in this place till when, baby? Mama hopes we can stay here forever even if it feels very difficult. He said in his heart. Then back to a rough breath.
Violet admitted, if living alone in a country people are not as easy as she thought. Plus all this time Violet has never had a life of difficulty. Everything and everything he wanted he had ever gotten from the moment he was born into this world. But what is happening right now is his choice. That means he has to be strong and go through everything willingly.
Maybe he could ask for help Dika or his family in Indonesia. But it feels shame if it continues to trouble others. Even about finding an apartment, Violet had to ask Dika for help. It was impossible for anything else to ask for their help, he had to be independent.
Violet has been living in the Land of the Equatorial Emerald for a month. Making him get used to the life that is here, and of course very much different from in his home country, Berlin.
"Thank you." Violet said to the driver after making the payment. Then he rushed down, entering a private hospital in Jakarta. After registration and other administration. Violet was escorted to the examination room. Dustin unwittingly followed him.
"Have you ever had a pregnancy test before?" Ask the doctor to Violet.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Violet as she is.
"If I could know when?"
"Two weeks ago, doc. But I have complaints, lately my stomach often cramps and the duration is quite long. I wanted to go to the hospital early. But it felt so far away, so I decided to just come here closer." It uses a mixed Indonesian and English language.
The doctor also understood. "Let's do it first." Violet nodded obediently and did as the doctor ordered. He was asked to lie down on a gurney.
"The fetus is very healthy, there is no problem. Maybe you are too tired because it often has cramps. So, keep trying not to do activities that are too heavy and maintained the diet huh?" The doctor said after examining the condition of Violet's pregnancy. And thankfully the doctor explained by using English which is quite fluent. So that Violet could fully understand what she was hearing.
"Yes, doc." Violet's voice came down from the top of the gurney. Then the doctor sat in the chair.
"Have you lived in Indonesia for a long time?" The doctor looked at Violet with a friendly smile.
"Yet, less than a month." Honest answer.
The Obgyn doctor nodded, accompanied by a friendly smile. "Your Indonesian language pantes are still stiff. It's okay, slowly you must be smooth. English is the easiest."
Violet smiled. "Yes, I'm also studying, doc. So sorry if my language is a bit messy."
The doctor smiled again. "His husband doesn't come?"
Hearing that water Violet's face immediately changed. "Em.. I...."
"I'm sorry I'm late." Cut Dustin who managed to steal the attention of both. At once Violet's eyes widened when she saw him.
Dustin smiled amiably, then approached Violet who was still in shock. Even unexpectedly he gave a kiss on Violet's head. It made the girl freeze. "Sorry, Baby. I'm late."
The doctor who saw their affection also smiled amusedly. "It's okay, Sir. Please sit down."
Dustin nodded, then sat down next to Violet. "How's it going, doc?"
A few minutes later, they came out of the room. Then move on to redeem the vitamins at the pharmacy. After that they left the hospital using a Duatin car of course. And during Violet's journey kept quiet. Even in the apartment, Violet was still silent. It makes Dustin feel anxious.
"Vi." Call Dustin staring at him.
Violet pressed her apartment password. But when he was about to enter Dustin first held his arm.
"You're angry enough, Vi. Come home. Everyone's waiting for your return."
Violet turned around, then looked at Dustin with a flash of anger in her eyes. "I told you not to follow me, Dustin. I'll never come back." His frown was really furious at Dustin. I don't know, when he saw the man's face it felt like Violet wanted to go berserk and teach him to be satisfied.
"Grandma wants you home. Why didn't you answer the call?" Ask Dustin gently.
Violet could no longer endure the turmoil in her heart. It felt like clawing at the face of the man in front of him.
"I don't want to go home. Are you deaf?" Violet's annoyance was full of emphasis.
Dustin sighed. "Okay, I won't force you to come home with me. But at least don't ignore Grandma. She misses you so much, Vi. Lately his condition has been unstable."
Violet rubbed her face violently. "You won't understand my feelings, Dustin. Do you have any idea how tormented I am when I have to lie about my current condition to Grandma? You wouldn't know that, Dustin. You'll never be able to understand the pain I feel when I lie to someone we care about." He was full of emotion.
"Vi, i...."
"I broke Grandma's hopes, Dustin. I've let her down, it's no different for me than Eveline now. She must be very disappointed to know I'm pregnant. I really hate you, Dustin. I hate you so much." Sela the girl continued her words. He actually took out all the aral in his heart which had been so frustrated.
Dustin immediately grabbed it. At once Violet's cry broke. "I'm sorry, Vi. I know it's my fault, I'm responsible for this. You're not wrong at all."
"It's not just Grandma, Dustin. My parents must also be very disappointed when they found out that the daughter they loved was pregnant before marriage. I don't deserve their forgiveness, Dustin. What am I supposed to do now?" Violet sounded so sad. Sometimes he also hit Dustin's chest to channel his pain. "I'm ashamed, Dustin. I'm ashamed to meet them."
Dustin tightened his embrace. Trying to calm Violet down. "I'm not going to force you to come back. You can settle where you feel comfortable. But don't forbid me to be by your side."
Hearing that Violet withdrew from Dustin's arms. Then looked at her sharply while erasing the rest of her tears. "Don't ever think I've forgiven you, Dustin. I will never forgive you. And also, never think we can be together. You alone are making a distance between us. I've accepted your decision."
Dustin gave a sad look. "Vi, please don't be like this. I know it's all my fault. But give me a chance, let's raise our kids together."
Violet snorted softly. "Building this child together? Would you come to me if your woman was still pregnant with your child, huh?"
Dustin could not answer. Seeing that, Violet laughed. "You'd better get back to that innocent and kind woman of your heart, Dustin. He needs you more. Ignore me here. No need to bother taking care of my son. I can take care of him myself." Violet rushed in, then slammed the door violently. Dustin was shocked and knocked on the door.
"Vi, please don't be like this. I know this is all my fault. But please forgive me. I love you so much, Vi. Really." Dustin continued banging and pressed the doorbell. I hope Violet opens the door for him.
Inside there, Violet was still leaning against the door leaf. Then slowly his body slumped to the floor along with his tears that also fell. She grabbed her own hair and screamed in frustration. "Aarrggh! Go away, don't bother me anymore."
Dustin who could hear was silent while sticking his forehead on the door leaf. Her tears began to fall down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Vi. Ii'm sorry. Hate me until you're satisfied."
They were in that position long enough. Dustin finally decided to leave. But he will definitely return and will not give up on persuading him. And bring him back.
