DBW 14 Pregnant Adel

The Time Limit (14)

" Is it okay to live alone here?", he asked to confirm.

" I'm fine. I do need some calmness", he said with a sweet smile.

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

" So, are you and Sakha going to split up?" asked Syifa after drinking her sweet tea.

" I don't know. What is certain is that he has dropped one talak" replied Adel Lirih.

" What if he asks for a referral?", Syifa asked later.

" I don't know. As long as he can't escape his past, I choose not to accept "he replied firmly.

" You still love him, don't you?"

" You must know the answer ", Syifa just smiled a little. She knows how much her best friend loves Sakha, fighting for her husband's love even though she knows Sakha loves Lisa. Hopefully the day after tomorrow, Sakha's heart will change. Asking the Owner of the Heart, the All-Returning of the human heart.

" What's your plan now?"

" For a while, I'll be here. Setting yourself up for yourself again", Adel smiled wryly. Yes, he's been on the Talak, religiously he's divorced. If Sakha chooses her past, just finish the papers.

" You know what? from your story, I feel that Sakha is starting to love you", Syifa paused her words. "He's getting comfortable with you. It's just that he's not conscious. Maybe tomorrow or the day after he will realize it ", Syifa explained trying to stretch Adel's heart that his struggle is not in vain.

" I hope so". Adel doesn't want to be too hopeful. Especially hope for humans. It is better to leave everything to the Creator. Whatever is going to happen up ahead, he tries to be sincere.

" It's late, let's go in!", take Syifa. "I'll just stay the night today. We're back in town tomorrow. Maybe here again later on the weekend", explained Syifa while carrying a tray containing glasses into the house.

" Yes . Thanks for letting me stay here. You know for yourself, if I go home to my parents, I won't be able to calm down." Because of course the person he was trying to avoid was easy to find.

" No problem. You're my best friend", Syifa smiled.

Adel is happy to have a friend like Syifa whom he considers to be his own brother. Moreover, both of them also have no parents. Although Syifa is actually quite lucky because she still has an older brother different from Adel who is an only child.

In the morning, after breakfast together, Syifa immediately left because that day he had to work. Until finally in the house that left only Adel.

Adel who usually will be busy at his cake shop after breakfast is now confused what to do. Finally he looked around the house, after pocketing permission from Syifa.

This is where Adel is, in addition to the house that there are many various kinds of plants planted in pots.

Sitting on a wooden bench, Adel opened the laptop that he brought and began to be busy with the spectacle, especially if not about culinary, especially about cakes. The world Adel is in right now.

Fun to watch finally did not feel the time goes so fast. Feeling the heat in broad daylight, Adel suddenly wanted a fresh one. His eyes squinted at the nearby mango tree that was fruiting. Imagine the jujak mango young, somehow he was so tasteful.

Adel took the pole behind the house, according to instructions from Syifa when he called to ask permission to pick young mangoes on a tree belonging to Syifa.

The deg!

Adel was stunned to remember the words and questions Syifa. His mind floated on the testpack that yesterday he had not seen the results.

Am I really pregnant? adel asked while stroking his flat stomach.

"Are you in here, baby?", asked Adel in a soft voice. His eyes suddenly warmed. There is a feeling of worry when he has to experience this in improper conditions according to Adel.

" No! nay! You came at the right time, baby. You will accompany the mother, so the mother is not alone", he said rectifying his negative thoughts. As if talking to the fetus that he himself has not confirmed its existence but, Adel himself began to be convinced by his feelings. That the fruit of love she and Sakha had grown in her womb.

Fruit of love ? Did ya? Adel only smiled bitterly if he remembered Sakha's attitude towards Lisa yesterday.

Not wanting to dissolve, he continued picking mangoes and looking for seasonings in the kitchen that was still available because Syifa also occasionally returned home. As for ensuring her pregnancy, she will go to the pharmacy later in the afternoon to buy a testpack.

That afternoon, Adel finally could feel the mango rujak so fresh. Fresh for pregnant women, but if they are not ordinary will only grimace. Feel how sour the young mango fruit is.

***

Sakha walks to her room, all night she sleeps in her study. Yesterday, when he opened the door of the room, he felt his heart a little congested. His mind was reminded of Adel who always did his best as a wife. Different from himself. He also imagined how Adel felt seeing himself and Lisa.

After guessing, Sakha finally decided to check the cafe cctv and right there was Adel who came to her room and soon passed to the toilet.

" Sorry. You must be disappointed", he said. He just said he would fix everything. But he even broke his promise.

Sakha took a long breath. He entered his room and looked around. Again, he felt like a bad husband. Because still displaying photos together with Lisa. Not just one photo. While there, there is not a single photo with Adel.

After lingering on the bed, Sakha stepped into the bathroom. He will soon prepare to perform the Dzuhur prayer. Asking for directions so he can find Adel to apologize and talk things out.

However, her net accidentally saw something foreign lying in the sink. Not just one, but three. Sakha knows that it is a testpack, a tool to test for pregnancy. He also believes it belongs to Adel, because this bathroom is only used by the two of them.

" Line two?", said Sakha. " So, Adel's pregnant?", he murmured softly with trembling lips.

There was a sense of haru enveloping his heart.

" I'll be a father?" , happy and claustrophobic mixed into one. At a time like this, he did not know Adel's whereabouts.

Sakha immediately came out of the bathroom and headed to the mother's room to tell her what she found.

While elsewhere, Adel sculpted. After buying a testpack and testing the urine, it turns out that line two is visible.

" I'm really pregnant?", she cried. Although she is sure pregnant is aware of the signs of cravings that she feels, but this testpack makes her more sure of her pregnancy.

" Ma, I'm really pregnant. Like a mama's premonition", Adel said remembering the in-laws who believed that he was pregnant when he himself was not sure.
