The Goodness of a Marriage
Chapters 12. Getting pregnant? A Suicide?

On the way to the hospital where his sister-in-law was going to be in labor, Alfan kept wondering inside. What was it until Azam asked himself to come if only to wait for his nephew to be born into the world. Will I meet you later at home?

"You still love that woman?" Danira asked her son.

"Who, Mi?" Alfan asked still while concentrating on the steering wheel he had in his hand.

"Woman named Adzkia?" Ask Danira again. This time he had already stared at the face of the side of his son tightly. While waiting, there was no reply from Alfan, making Danira immediately turn her gaze. His conversation with Azam this morning, made Danira worried that Alfan would break the line, for loving this woman that her son should not love.

"Please, Mi. Alfan knew what was good and what was not. Everything in Alfan's heart right now, belonged to Alfan. Mami don't worry, Alfan is in complete control of everything that exists, including feelings that shouldn't." Answer Alfan.

Danira no longer said anything. I don't know, he's just afraid that later, Alfan will do something bad when he finds out who's in the hospital right now.

Alfan's luxury car continues to accelerate slowly on the streets of Jakarta. A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the hospital. As he got out of his luxurious car, Alfan was silent for a moment. A clear look at who just came out from inside the hospital lobby in such a hurry while attaching the phone to the ear.

"Yes, Pa. I'll be right to the marriage certificate."

The sentence that had just been spoken by the man who had met him several times, was so clearly heard in Alfan's ears.

"Come.." Pull Danira in Alfan's hand, when he saw his son was silent in his place. "What the hell is that? Who are you looking at?" Ask her again while following the direction of her son's gaze.

"Ngga, Alfan's the wrong guy. Come on, Mi." Take Alfan.

The two then continued their steps into the hospital lobby. It didn't take long, the mother and child were already in the room that they were aiming for this morning.

"Well, Mommy's coming too? His word later if his baby's grandpa was born." Trias said as he watched his mother-in-law enter the room.

"Mommy can't wait." Danira approaches the bed where her daughter-in-law is. Gently rubbed Azam's shoulder, as if giving a sign to convey the news in a good way to Alfan.

"I'm out for a second, yeah. There's something I want to talk to Alfan about." Pamit Azam to his wife. Before leaving the Triassic treatment room, Azam did not forget to peck his wife's head repeatedly.

Alfan who was starting to fester, looked in wonder towards his elder brother. "What the hell is it, Bang? Since the trip here, Mami has been very strange, now you are getting weird." Said Alfan, however, still following his older brother's footsteps out of the room.

Still not answering her sister's question, Azam continued to swing his steps towards the other room.

"It's still early morning, Bang. Don't tell me you want to take me for a bite." Ketus Alfan, because Azam still has not opened his voice. Until the moment they arrived in front of the room, Azam flipped his body and stared at Alfan.

Although still astonished by his brother's behavior, Alfan still followed directions and looked into the room through the small glass on the door of the room. His chest was beating violently when he saw who was inside the room. His brain again digested what he saw in the hospital courtyard. But how can it be? Why would the man go to a family wedding, and leave Kia lying here alone.

For a long time the two brothers stood at the door of the room, until one doctor and two nurses made the two give a distance of several meters from the door of the room.

"Where is her husband? Later after this examination is completed, and the results are still the same as last night, we will immediately tell. Please don't leave the hospital, sir." Said one of the nurses who had just arrived.

Alfan and Azam looked at each other, confused as to what to answer. Moments later, the three medics entered the room where Kia was. Alfan's chest was still beating violently, however, he did not know what to behave with the circumstances he saw this morning. Wanting to get angry, however, he felt he had no right to do so far.

"I want to go back to the room. Are you gonna stay here?" Ask Azam.

Alfan was still silent, staring at his brother's face for a moment and then switched to the door of the room that was still tightly closed.

"That's okay, you wait here for a second. But if her husband comes, you have to go back to Triassic's room." Azam's orders, firm.

Alfan nodded in understanding. He knew what this brother meant.

After Azam's departure, Alfan stepped closer to the waiting chair and sat his body there. Various questions, what exactly happened to Kia, so disturbing her. However, he tried his hardest to stay where he should be. He and Kia are nobody, and he has no right to know let alone be angry about what is happening to the woman he loves.

Moments pensive in front of the room, Alfan is startled by a nurse who suddenly touches his shoulder.

"Sir please come to the doctor's office." Said the girl in the all-white uniform.

Alfan turned his head to the right and left, however, not seeing the man he had seen in the courtyard of the hospital earlier. Before following the steps of the nurse, Alfan first opened the door of the room and then ventured to see the tiny body that was lying on the bed.

No problem, he just wanted to help. That was what Alfan had in mind at this moment. He then closed the door again, then followed the nurse's footsteps to the doctor's room.

It didn't take long, he was already sitting in front of a serious man with a monitor screen in front of him.

"My wife is pregnant. Don't make her depressed, sir. Lucky for this suicide attempt, not to harm your baby." The doctor said as he read a piece of paper in his hand, then extended it towards Alfan.

"Thankful, everything is handled quickly. Please be more careful. Women who are pregnant are very sensitive. For that, don't make her depressed." The doctor said again.

Alfan could only go silent. Not knowing what to react to. He swallowed his saliva which was so flustered. The word suicide that had just been uttered by the doctor in front of him was so disturbing to his mind. What's wrong with Kia?
