Khaira is upset and saddened by Ivan's repeated abuse of her. He cried in his room when he remembered Ivan's treatment of him half an hour ago, and now not only he himself but others saw him.
He cried back to the figure of Abbas who protected him so much, and never did anything rude to him. How could it be that the man who claimed he was a close friend of the deceased but did not respect himself even harassed him, who is currently still traumatized and afraid if he is nearby.
Khaira patted her chest that was back in tightness. There was no place for him to share his grief. He did not want to make his brother feel anxious about his fate. He is able to endure suffering alone. He must be strong.
After cleansing himself and changing his clothes, Khaira immediately carried out his duties as a Muslim, not forgetting he offered prayers for Abbas to get a decent place by his side. Due to fatigue since the morning helped prepare for the wedding Junior now Khaira felt sleepy and immediately lay down on the bed. Shortly thereafter, he fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Khaira awakens. Suddenly he wanted to enjoy the fried rice mang Kasim who was selling at the front crossroad of the house. Though all this time he did not like to smell the aroma of garlic that always makes him feel claustrophobic.
Khaira got up from the bed and opened the front door to meet Asep, the front post guard of the house, to buy him what he wanted.
“What's non?” mr. Asep was surprised to see the house lady meet him when all the residents of the house had floated in their respective dreamland.
“Suddenly I want to eat nasgor mang Kasim sir. Could you please buy it for me, for Mr. Asep as well,” Khaira held out fifty thousand money into the hands of Mr. Asep.
“Wah, non Rara rich man cravings aja.... “ pack Asep laughs while welcoming money from the hands of Khaira.
“Hamil .... ?” Khaira.
He returned home with a raging feeling. Is what Asep said true? What if she is really pregnant? What's he supposed to do?
Khaira was stunned to face the fried rice that had been lined up in front of her. His desire to enjoy fried rice that is immediately lost considering the words of Mr. Asep. He returned to the room feeling sad.
Khaira is crying. How sad he is after Abbas is gone. Over-parenting and protection of his family and brother kept Khaira unaware of the cruelty of the outside world, and now he himself has experienced it all.
“Yes Allah what should I do if I am really pregnant?” Khaira squirms at her bedside hugging her knees.
Now he's scared, not knowing who to talk to? His eyes couldn't sleep thinking about the plan he was going to do. Khaira quickly took ablution to perform tahajud prayers, then he continued by teaching. That was all he could do to calm his mind. Only to His Lord the owner of the heart, to Him will he pour out all the burdens that feel squeezing the chest making him unable to breathe properly.
After a bit of calm Khaira began to lay back her body in the contest. Her eyes stared at the ceiling while thinking about the steps she would take if she was shown to be pregnant. He took a cell phone and started surfing for info about pregnant people, and still hope that the joke Asep sir does not come true.
That afternoon Ivan accompanied his client from Makassar to lunch at the luxury restaurant Meat and Grill. He was accompanied by Roni while his client Sudarsono with his assistant Edo.
As the menu began to be arranged on the table, Ivan suddenly felt an overwhelming nausea. The aroma of roasted spices and garlic makes his stomach like stirring makes it unable to immediately go to the toilet.
“I'm sorry ... “ quickly Ivan walked outdoors, “Maybe catch a cold because it's been a few days missed eating.”
Shortly after, he returned with a pale face. Out of respect for the client who would enjoy lunch Ivan was forced to endure the nausea that felt very tormenting to him.
Sudarsono looked at Ivan's face with a faint smile. He was a very experienced man, with three daughters and 4 grandchildren making him sure that Ivan was not a common cold.
“I think your wife is pregnant. What you are experiencing now is called sympathetic pregnancy,” she said relaxing attentively, “To reduce nausea can be minimized warm tea or warm ginger water.”
Ivan could not believe Sudarsono's words. He looked at Roni while shaking his head.
Roni looked at Ivan sharply. He did not expect his boss would have this kind of misfortune. He knew that his boss had no contact with other women.
“My sons are all men, and all three experience exactly what happened to you,” Sudarsono asked the waiter to prepare a warm tea for Ivan who was still confused by what he was going through.
Ivan's thoughts were now on Khaira. During this time before being with Khaira, he always used security when the togetherness between him and Sandra. And she had that relationship five weeks ago, after months of breaking up with Sandra. So ….
Khaira looked at the test pack she had just bought for 5 pcs. He wants to try all five to find out the truth of Mr. Asep's words. He also felt anxious, because all this time his period was always smooth. But this month, it has been almost 5 weeks he has not yet received his monthly guests.
Khaira sat on the bathroom floor with tears when she saw the five test packs that she tried based on instructions for use were all two-striped.
“Yes Allah, do not test Your servant outside the ability of the servant …. “ Khaira lashed her stomach with both hands, hoping that no fetus would grow inside her womb.
How would she face her extended family if they learned of her pregnancy without a husband. They will be ashamed, and Khaira does not want that to happen. Should he abort the fetus that is now starting to grow in his womb.
“Yes, Allah. The servant does not want to add to the sins of the servant anymore. Show the best way for your despicable servant, O Allah.
After being satisfied to mourn his fate, Khaira came out of the bathroom. He had not been out of the room all day. The hunger attacked him again. He should start thinking about making his next plan.
When he arrived at the dining room, only oma and bu Ila were there. Since marrying, Junior has lived with his wife. In three weeks they will be going to England.
Suddenly a brilliant idea came to Khaira's mind, why did he not follow Junior and Afifah alone. But over time the two will know, and surely the big family also finally know this problem.
He could not see the sad face of all the brothers who loved him so much and the oma who always defended him since childhood. And certainly Miss Ila will definitely be disappointed with the pregnancy that happened to her.
Anwar's face suddenly flashed through his mind. A faint smile rose on Khaira's face remembering her close friend. Why didn't he just ask Anwar for help. He had to make the right excuses for his brother to allow him to travel abroad.
Continuing education. Finally Khaira felt relieved after his plan began to be arranged perfectly. He will meet Ariq and Ali mas first to convey his desire to continue his education S2 in the land of Uncle Sam. By selling Anwar's name he was convinced Ariq and Ali would not mind releasing him to America.
Meanwhile, Ivan was in his study. The conversation that took place during the banquet with Mr. Sudarsono made him accelerate his desire to marry Khaira and he did not want to postpone it again.
Laras suddenly came to his office that afternoon to collect his promise to Ivan. The time he had given Ivan to introduce his partner and bring him home was up. He would force Ivan to accept the arranged marriage he would arrange with his social partners.
“Mama …. “ Ivan was stunned to see his mother now sitting casually in front of him.
“Mama wants to collect your promise to bring your partner home immediately. Two more months you're 33. You should get married and give your mother a grandchild. So don't refuse anything you say,” Laras says flat without a smile. He was tired of waiting for Ivan who was still walking in place with his romantic relationship.
Ivan did not comment, his mind still remembered Khaira who was probably pregnant with her child, and he was very sure of that. Especially over the past few days he has experienced nausea in the morning. And the reaction becomes excessive when smelling the aroma of cooking that smells of onions. For the rest of his life he never experienced it.
“You knew Meita his daughter om Baskoro your friend when he was Junior High. He is now a dentist. Mama asked you to see him tomorrow afternoon. Mama and mbak Yuli mama have agreed to lunch together.”
Ivan quickly rejected his mother's wishes. He should be honest now. He didn't want to delay it any longer.
“I don't want to see anyone, because I already have my own choice. Mama doesn't have to worry about it anymore. I not only gave a daughter-in-law to my mother, but also a granddaughter whom I had long desired.”
Laras' eyes immediately rounded to hear Ivan's words that felt ambiguous in his ears. Can son-in-law bonus grandson, means ….
“Jeez Ivan, which woman have you hamili. You have humbled your own mother if you do nothing to make the woman pregnant,” Laras bobbing his head to hear Ivan's words, even though in the heart there is a speck of happiness that makes his heart feel warm.
“I will take responsibility for all my actions. Mom don't worry, I'll bring mom to propose to her in front of her brother even her extended family.” Ivan said with certainty. He must have done that. With this incident Khaira would not be able to resist and avoid it anymore.
