THE PENANCE 2: THE PREGNANT
TP2 - 29

Dio slowly opened his eyes. The man was surprised to find himself in Arinda's house. He spread his eyes around. When he woke up, the man had a hard time. He held his stomach which was painful. The man looked down and was surprised to see his distended stomach.

"What is this?!"

Meanwhile, the results of Arinda's autopsy body have come out.

"She was Arinda, the missing woman. But, there's something strange" said Annisa, who autopsied Arinda's body.

"What's that?" Ask Zega curiously.

"You said Arinda was about 5 months pregnant, but there was no fetus in her stomach" Annisa said.

Zega frowned. Cellphone's ringing. He immediately raised a call from Gunawan, "What's up, Gunawan?"

"There's a serious problem, Senior."

The San Entertainment building.

Arvenu handed over the map with a contract letter that had to be terminated to Dio who was sitting in front of him. "Sorry, we have to terminate the contract with you."

After saying that, Arvenu nodded his manners then passed.

Dio looked angry. He tore the map and went to his apartment. The man had to wear a thick jacket to cover his large belly.

In the apartment she cried while beating her stomach. Suddenly there was a sound of crying from inside his stomach. Dio froze up.

There was a knock on the door of his apartment. Dio moved from his seat with great difficulty. Gunawan and the police came. They were surprised to see Dio's distended stomach let alone the sound of a baby crying coming from his stomach.

Zega and several other policemen came to Dio's apartment. "Everything, please don't let this happen to the media."

Dio looked at Zega with a pleading gaze. "Please get this baby out of my belly."

Zega nodded. "Hold on, we'll call the surgeon. We can't get you out of here. You don't want your good name smeared, do you? But, you're a man, I mean. ah, that's it. What matters is that you stay quiet. I'll take care of everything. You don't have to worry."

Zega was silent at Dio's words. The surgeon came. The police let him into Dio's room.

Zega looked over, as the door opened. Zael disguised himself as a surgeon. He nodded politely at Zega, and vice versa.

"I'll wait outside" Zega told Dio, but Dio still held Zega's hand. He looks scared.

Zael looked at Zega and Dio alternately. "If you're his girlfriend, you can stay here."

Zega looked at Zael. "No, no. I'm the cop on duty. Doctor, I trust him to you."

Zael nodded. Zega out of the room. When he opened the door, his steps stopped. He glanced at Zael.

"Doctor, after you get something out of his stomach, I beg you to keep this a secret" Zega said.

Zael nodded. Zega smiles. "Thank you."

After Zega came out, Zael sat on the edge of the bed then looked at Dio who was crying worriedly. "I'm not going to dissect your stomach, but instead I want you to apologize to the person you've hurt. And you have to admit that the baby in your belly is Arinda's son."

Dio fell silent then looked at Zael. "Ba-bagaan...."

"I hope you don't have to ask who and how I know. I just want to help you in an easier way" Zael said.

Dio looked sad. "I want to do it, I want to apologize to her, but she's gone."

"I'm here, Dio."
