The Time Limit (17)
If she asks for a referral for the sake of the child?", Tia goes with the kepo
" I will consider everything ", Adel replied firmly. " Children need complete parents. However, not only his physique but also his heart. Free we have Sakha but her heart is not with us. This isn't the family I want ".
Adel does have to make sure everything if he decides to refer. Children are a consideration, but not the main thing. Especially if Sakha's heart is still for Lisa

The sky was clear when Adel decided to return to the city of J . Adel was on the bus on the way. Syifa and Tia did force him to want them to deliver. But, Adel did not want to trouble anyone. Moreover, making both his friends must be permission from where they work.
From behind the glass of the bus, Adel looked out. Look at the car that passed. Until tiredness reached him, he began to close his eyes.
A few hours passed and Adel finally arrived at the store. Fitri and the others greeted the store owner enthusiastically. Take off longing with a turn to hug Adel. All the employees in the store were women, so Adel did not feel awkward.
" Sister Adel, even though he only went for a week but, it feels really bad", exclaimed Fitri heboh.
" You can" Adel smiled as he sat in a chair that was available at the store.
" Oh yes, the stuff for the upper room has arrived?" asked Adel. He remembered the furniture he bought to deliver to the store.
" Sister, yesterday afternoon has arrived, we have settled too. If you don't like the position, we can help the fox", obviously the others followed.
" Why bother? Brother can be alone", Adel feels bad.
" Aish, brother Adel kayak to whom" Fitri said
" yes. Bumil can't be tired. Early pregnancy is still vulnerable, sis. ", another timpal.
Adel smile. He was happy, feeling the kinship of people who had no blood relation to him.
" Sister, have you checked the contents yet? Our niece is how old is she?!", Fitri enthusiastically.
" God willing tomorrow. Now take a break. The usual journey, now it feels tiring ", Adel realizes his condition is indeed more easily tired.
"His name is pregnant, too, brother. Not like before ", Adel smiled justifying.

This morning, according to Adel's plan, she will have her pregnancy checked. He was so enthusiastic and impatient to know the condition of his fetus. Hopefully his condition is good no matter what happens in the future.
In between Andini, he headed to the nearest Mother and Child Hospital. Thirty minutes passed, finally Adel arrived. The atmosphere is not too crowded.
After signing up, Adel sat in a waiting chair waiting for his turn to be checked out. A few minutes passed, he was called and immediately entered the examination room.
Now, Adel is sitting opposite Doctor Mila who will examine Adel.
Doctor Mila asked a few things before finally telling Adel to weigh weight and immediately lay on the bed with the help of a nurse.
The doctor began to check blood pressure, then Adel's stomach in a gel that felt cold. After that, the doctor placed the transducer on the surface of Adel's abdominal skin and moved it until an image appeared on the monitor screen.
" The age of the womb is 7 weeks. The size of the baby is also small. Only about 1-2 cm or as big as a cherry" explained doctor Mila.
Dugh..
Dr. Mila then heard the sound of fetal heartbeat that made Adel feel moved. In her womb there was really a growing fetus.
The nurse cleans the rest of the gel in Adel's stomach. Then help her get up and get out of bed.
" At this gestational age in the first trimester, still prone to miscarriage. So, try to always pay attention to food intake and avoid excessive stress. Because it is not good for the health of the mother and fetus conceived". It was clearly Dr. Mila just after Adel sat down.
"Okay, doc" Adel replied.
Adel also consulted about many things related to her pregnancy. Moreover, this was her first pregnancy where she was still a layman at all. Once it was enough, Adel left the doctor's room.

At the cafe, Sakha is resting her body. Just now he finished meeting his friend who invited cooperation to open a similar cafe outside the city. Until the phone rings.
If it's not busy, I'll wait in the store. Order Adel chat.
Regardless of her tiredness, Sakha immediately ran towards the parking lot and immediately drove forward her car. His longing made him want to quickly meet Adel. Until finally he arrived and saw Adel sitting in a chair near the window.
" Assalamu'alaikum" Sakha breaks Adel's daydream.
" Wa'alaikumsalam" Adel answered, glancing at Sakha.
Sakha sees Adel, hoping Adel does what he used to do. Take her hand and kiss her. However, Adel just stayed seated in his chair and that left Sakha a little disappointed.
" Religiously, we are no longer husband and wife if you forget" Adel said as if understanding what Sakha expected.
Sakha tried to smile acknowledging her stupidity. He forgot Adel who is now not the Adel he knew when he was in High School. He can hold or hug without any ties. Adel now only wants to be touched by his mahram.
" How are you?", asked Sakha to expel the awkwardness she suddenly felt.
" Thank God I am good" answered Adel.
" What about our son?"
Adel felt trembling. His heart warms to hear Sakha say our son.
" Thank God he was good too".", Adel pulled out a pink book and placed it on the table.
Sakha took the book and opened it. Looking at the contents of the book to find a black and white USG photo.
" The doctor said I was 7 weeks old. The size of the new fetus is 1-2 cm, or new as large as cherries and overall good condition", Adel explained as explained by doctor Mila when Sakha noticed the results of the USG.
" Didn't you intend to tell me if I didn't ask?" suddenly Sakha was curious.
" Even if you don't ask, I'll keep telling you"
" I thought you'd hide it because you were disappointed in me "
"I'm not that selfish. He has every right to know who his father is and who you have every right to know that he's among us", be quiet for a moment. "Even if our relationship ends, you and this child still have a relationship" Adel added.
" Can't we go back for our son?", Sakha was very hopeful.
Adel breathed. She was hoping Sakha would invite her. Who wants to be widowed at a young age with a new age of marriage as long as corn. Then it should be a parent's ringgel. But, Adel hopes not the child who is the reason. Marriage is not just a child's problem.
" If your reason for referring to and maintaining this marriage is only for the sake of the child, you better not force yourself to refer." Adel answered at last.
