Risa smiled to herself considering her conversation last night with Joshua. Her lover's decision has been unanimous, will be divorced from Jana. Relieved it. That is why, Risa still allows Joshua to work in Jana's stall.
If they're divorced, and Joshua marries her, after all, there's nothing to worry about.
"Ouch!" Risa held onto her stomach which was suddenly stricken with cramps. The longer, the more he felt pain in his lower abdomen. Turn to the back waist.
Risa had to crawl into the bathroom because she was unable to stand. Arriving in the bathroom, Risa was shocked when she saw a blood clot falling from her female organ. Black and clumpy.
"I why, anyway," said Risa before finally losing consciousness.
He woke up two hours later and found himself in a room that looked like a hospital. Beside him was Ningsih waiting for him.
"Ning, what am I, anyway?" risa asked confusedly.
"You passed out in the bathroom. Thankfully I came."
"You can faint, anyway?" Risa scratched her head.
"You're hemorrhaging. The doctor said you had a miscarriage."
"Well?!" Risa jumped. "Miscarriage?" He touched his stomach. "Ouch! Damn, damn!" mean it.
"So I tried to call Joshua but I didn't pick up."
"What time, right?" ask Risa to panic.
"It's only twelve o'clock."
"I'm bleeding in the bathroom?" ask Risa to panic.
"Yes, Ris. What's the matter, anyway?"
"Udah cleaned up yet, Ning?"
"Udah, it's not clean, really."
Risa breathed a sigh of relief. He did not want Joshua to know that he had a miscarriage. "You don't have to tell Joshua, do you?"
"Why?"
Risa shook her head strongly. "Anyway don't. Let her know I'm still pregnant."
"Not understanding me."
"Udah, you are in it. All I know is that I'm the same as you, yeah, okay?" risa said half-threatening.
"Yes, follow me."
Risa patted the back of Ningsih's hand, as a thank you for following her request.
"I think I can go home this afternoon, right?" ask Risa. He did not want Joshua suspicious when he came home later, he was not in the apartment.

"Burning yellow seasoning chicken, two. Three fried noodles." Jana put the order note in front of Joshua.
"Okay." Joshua commented a thin smile. While Jana is indifferent to the man who will soon become her ex-husband.
Jana takes three pieces of chicken that have been marinated with yellow seasoning in the refrigerator. Then, he prepared a microwave to roast chicken.
Joshua, meanwhile, was busy concocting seasonings for the fried rice he was going to make. Every now and then he glanced at Jana who was preparing three rice dishes.
The clock shows at five o'clock in the afternoon, and these five portions are orders from the last visitor.
Thirty minutes later, all orders were ready and Jana drove him forward. Joshua cleaned the kitchen because there was no more cooking.
Jana helps Joshua tidy up the kitchen in silence. For a few days, the two did not talk to each other. Only occasionally when going to deliver a stall visitor order. The rest, both of them are busy with their respective activities.
"Until tomorrow, Josh," Jana said goodbye to Joshua who was stuffing his personal belongings into a bag.
"Until tomorrow, Jana." Joshua waved a little. He showed Jana's steps out of the stall. His chest thumped as he saw the girl talking to someone outside.
That jerk who hit him that day. Caused the temple to break. Apparently he moved quickly to get Jana.
There was a sense of unwillingness to see Jana along with other men. In the past, he suggested an open relationship. Jana refuses and Johsua is a little pushy.
Now, seeing Jana with other men just makes it hot cold and chaotic. As the saying goes; you don't know what you got until you lost it.
When Jana was with him, he was indifferent. Now, when Jana is out of his reach, he actually snapped the girl.
Jana and that jerk look familiar. Their conversation seemed so warm. And Jana's laughter, so loose when the young man threw funny jokes.
Jovan, who was chatting with Jana next to her luxury car, stared cynically at Joshua who had just finished locking the shop door.
Jana saw the tension between the two men. He suspects, they used to fight each other. Considering the faces of both of them had been bruised at the same time.
Ah-but it doesn't matter anymore. What is clear now is that he just wants to look to the future. I don't know who that is.
"Hey, Dude!" greet Jovan to Joshua with a slanted smile.
Joshua was no less cynical about welcoming the atmosphere of hostility stocked by Jovan. And the young man deliberately became friendly to Jana, holding the girl's hand in his car.
"No heat, no, your future ex" joked Jovan as he did his car leaving Joshua still standing by the side of the road.
"Bad Jovan, ish!" grouse Jana.
"He's more evil. Get another girl behind you" Jovan said.
Jana thunts. "Udah, ah! Don't want to be mulu."
"Yes, I've, uh, just want our future, yes, Jan," jovan cheered as he raised his eyebrows.
"What, anyway?!" Jana was singing her lips. "Where are you going, anyway, us?" tanyanya.
"Eat the night."
"No need to be in a fancy place, yes, Mom. Don't like me. Mending nyari on the side of the road, that's it."
"Laah, you think this is Jakarta? Nyari's eating on the sidewalk?"
Jana laughed at Jovan's joke. "That's it, no, Mom."
"Yes, understand, dear," said Jovan as he stroked Jana's cheek. "You're so different from Tiara, yeah. If Tiara wants to go to mulu luxury places."
"Dih, confide," joked Jana. "Eh, speaking of Tiara, she's been bumping into me, you know, Mas."
"Well!" Jovan jumped in shock. "Seriously? How's story?"
"He came to the shop. Keep asking me to keep you. Pake said I'm a cheap girl again. Worse, I said open BO girl." Jana patted her forehead.
"Wow, bad, tuh, kid. I rebuke him."
"Eh, no, my mom. Ntar was more angry with him."
Jovan. "Because when it's allowed to be, it likes to be-so."
Jana took a deep breath. "I'm also stupid, not careful. Now my name is very bad in the eyes of the Indonesian people in Manhattan," he lamented.
"Not all the Indonesians here care about rich things, Jan."
