Ep.28 - Pregnant

“Mbak Edel!”

Edelweis stared at the cynical Adinda who came to him while carrying a lunchbox whose contents Edelweis already knew what. “What?” asked Edelweis lazily.

Adinda pursed her lips, “Ih, can Edel still be angry with me? Because of yesterday?” ask Adinda sadly.

Edelweis looking haughty, “According to lo?”

“Yeah, mbak... Time yes just because I refused the request mbak, mbak angry with me. Don't go, mbak.”

“Yes, love me. My rights!”

“But, if you're angry. I don't want to bring any more brownies next week. Anyway, why do I bring this, but mbaknya still angry.”

Edelweis clucked, he squinted his eyes sharply. “Oh... So, is the story threatening me? Oh, gpa. Enough to know me.” said Edelweis, he nodded.

“Yes his abis mbak Edel angry with me.”

“Yes, you should have persuaded me not to be angry with you. Not even threatening me like that.”

“I have to persuade how else? Surely mbak Edel will still be angry and angry mbak it will disappear when I want to obey his will mbak. Aye right?”

“Well, you know! Anyway, my request was easy. You stay to be a spy, it's so.”

Adinda let out a rough sigh, she stared at the puzzled Edelweis. “Mbak parts. Ma'am that's why I don't like it very much with Ma'am Retha. Though mbak Retha is always good loh same mbak also.”

“Not your business. Anyway, I just asked you to be a spy, find out some of the things I asked you to do. Udah, easy. And, you calm down. I won't tell you free, I'll pay for lo's services.”

“Mbak, but it's not just about pay.”

Edelweis clucked, "Udah, deh. It's up lo. Anyway, if you don't want to, I can ask the others. So, don't be smart about me. Hurti!?”

***

Adinda and Sinta looked at each other, they looked at Edelweis who was lying on the bed of the office health room. While arguing with Adinda earlier, Edelweis suddenly fell unconscious just like that. Coincidentally when he was about to be taken to the health room Adinda cross paths with Sinta, as a result he asked the woman to accompany him. And, here they are now.

The face of disbelief was still clearly visible on their faces when they remembered what the doctor had just said.

“Mbak Edel is not married yet, is he? How can you do it, Sin?”

Sinta. “You just don't know, let alone me Din.” said Sinta, his brain so think another. “What not-don't mbak Edel the type of woman who..”.

“Hush! Can't say that. We don't know what exactly is. Who knows, actually Edel was married, but we do not know. Maybe the wedding is not in publish.”

Sinta nodded, she was completely in disbelief. “Eh, but if you remember Edel's attitude with Mr. Jo. How possessive is Mbak Edel if pak Jo meet Mbak Retha. What don't-don't..” Sinta looked closely at Adinda who rounded her eyes. It seemed, their brains were thinking the same thing.

In the midst of their thinking, there was a stub as well as the movement from Edelweis made them more anxious at once.

“Mbak Edel, mbak already aware?”

“Mbak no one's sick, don't you?”

“Mbak Edel need what? Ma'am Edel wants a drink or I call the doctor again, yes.”

Edelweis snorted dejectedly at how hectic they were as he opened his eyes, as a result he held the hands of the two who were preparing to go call the doctor.

With an annoyed face, Edelweis looked at them. “Can be quiet, right? My head is dizzy!” irritated Edelweis, he snorted in annoyance.

Adinda and Sinta grimace slowly, “Sorry, mbak.”

“But, no papa ya mbak I called the doctor again. Let me check again.”

“No need!” rejecting Edelweis, he tried to move to sit down and quickly Adinda and Sinta helped him.

Edelweis was silent for a moment, he confirmed the surroundings. His forehead immediately shriveled confused when he realized he was not in place. “This is me where?” edelweis was confused.

“Mbak in health room, mbak.”

“Health room? How can I be here.”

“Mbak just fainted. Hence, mbak was brought here.”

Edelweis frowned confusedly, he did not even know why he had suddenly fainted. He felt no pain whatsoever, even though his head was a little dizzy earlier when arguing with Adinda.

“Mbak Edel, sorry, yes if we are presumptuous. But, do you know the actual condition is now serious?” adinda asked, she grimaced softly.

Edelweis was confused by Adinda who was suddenly serious, even so with Sinta. “What are you talking about? My condition is serious, you mean?” ask Edelweis did not understand.

Adinda did not immediately answer, she looked at Sinta and asked the woman to explain. However, Sinta just shook her head, she did not want to. Seeing the two who both refused to explain made Edelweis upset instead of playing.

“You guys why the hell?” edelweis. “Doctor told you what you guys are about my condition. Don't scare me!” Edelweis was afraid that he would get a serious and deadly disease, seeing how anxious Adinda was as well as Sinta.

“Sin, lembangin.”

“You, Din!”

“No, you're aja.”

“You.”

“Enough!” Edelweis snorted in annoyance, he stared intently at Adinda. “Din, clear now!” force Edelweis.

“Mbak..”

Hopefully anxious Edelweis waited for what Adinda would say, she hoped that what she heard was not something to disappoint later.

“Iya, I why, Din?”

“Mbak Edel..”

Edelweis nodded his head, he asked Adinda quickly to say it.

“Din, Sin.”

“Mbak Edel pregnant.” Adinda said in one breath, she stared anxiously Edelweis who immediately changed her face water.

“Mbak Edel, mbak all right? Mbak!”

Adinda also Sinta tried to resuscitate Edelweis who was immediately silent at once hearing the facts spoken by Adinda.

“Mbak,”

“Mbak Edel,”

“Gu-gue pregnant?” edelweis asked, he looked at Adinda and Sinta reassuringly. I wish what he heard before wasn't true. However, a nod from them shattered Edelweis' hopes.

Edelweis immediately covered his face using both palms of his hands it made Adinda also Sinta pity to see it so that a slow swab they gave on the back as well as the arms of Edelweis.

“Mbak quiet, yes. You have to think positively, not to do the wrong things. Yes, mbak.”

Edelweis was confused now, as to how he was.

Meanwhile, seeing Edelweis' response that does not look happy makes Adinda also Sinta sure if the fetus that is being conceived Edelweis is the result of a mistake. Perhaps Sinta's mind was right before if Edelweis was the type of woman who did**before married.

“Gue how now?” edelweis asked frustratedly, he was really confused as to what to do.

“Mbak should accept mbak content. Anyway, he's my own son, regardless of any fault.”

Edelweis let out a rough sigh. He stared fixedly at Adinda and Sinta. “You'll be this pregnancy to all the office kids?” asked Edelweis who had definitely gotten a coil from them.

“No, mbak! We can't possibly spread this. Just calm down. After all, we do not want to be judged worse by people when they know they are pregnant before marriage.” said Adinda, she said so sincerely.

“Iya, ibbak. Calm down, yeah. We'll keep this a secret. This pregnancy is only we know, others will not know. Believe it.” chimpanzees Sinta, she smiles knots at Edelweis.

“Still, yes. I hope you keep to what you say.”

They nodded. And, Edelweis was calm at least her pregnancy lest anyone know, especially Jonathan. Regardless he himself either wants or doesn't want this fetus. But that's another business. Most importantly, Edelweis had to make Jonathan fall in love first.

***

Edelweis walked straight through the hospital hallway, in his hand there was an envelope containing a letter stating he was pregnant now. She stared at the envelope with a meaningful look, still not expecting if she was pregnant.

“Why are you present now? You know what your parents really are. I'm both your father, we both can't be parents. Not that I don't accept your presence, only that you came at the wrong time. You are present at the wrong time.”

Edelweis licked his lips, his heart really did not accept this reality completely. But how else? He still has a heart to not just eliminate the fetus in the womb now. If later the fetus must go, then go by itself, not because of the action.

“Aduh.”

“Eh, sorry, sorry.”

Edelweis looked up in annoyance as someone bumped into him, instantly his frustration grew even more when he saw who hit him.

“Mbak Edel,” Retha grimaced softly as she accidentally bumped into Edelweis. “Mbak Edel is not papa, right? Any wound or—”

“Apaan hell lo!” Edelweis put away Retha's hand that checked his state, his eyes squinting sharply. “Do not hold me!” edelweis.

Retha instantly fell silent, “Sorry to me, yes, ma'am. I was unintentionally, in a hurry. I—”

Edelweis grunted in annoyance, “What the hell! I don't want to hear you vent, yeah! Oh, how!”

“Sorry, mbak.”

“Lagian, lo street tuh right cake. If I'm okay, how?”

“Yes, mbak, sorry.”

Edelweis rolled his lazy eyeballs.

“Mbak Edel why is he in the hospital? Why not, right?”

Edelweis does not like Retha who always cares about him. “What the hell lo! I am totally in the same business. Anyway if I'm not your business either. Don't care enough!”

“I'm just—”

Edelweis was lazy to face Retha. Without any excuse, she passed Rethah just like that without even bothering to listen to what Retha would say to her.

“Sok a lot of attention.” annoyed Edelweis. He didn't like Retha long ago, so as good as Retha would be to him would still be bad in his eyes.

His reason? Only Edelweiss himself knew.

***

“Where are you? New clock home.”

Edelweis turned his body around, instead of being angry at Jonathan's words, he smiled broadly. He followed the man who was walking towards the kitchen. “Cie, attention to the story.” Edelweis's goda, he chuckles.

Jonathan poured the coffee grounds into the cup, followed by adding hot water from the dispenser. He rolled his lazy eyeballs, regretting saying so to Edelweis. The woman was heartened.

Jonathan didn't answer, he just passed Edelweis. Then he returned to the living room, where he was doing office work that he had deliberately brought home.

Edelweis chuckled at Jonathan's silence, he followed the man back. “Kok bring work to home anyway, Jo? You already work in the office, why tired of working also at home.”

Jonathan stirring his coffee, “Lo will not understand, besides you will never work.” Jonathan replied, he sipped his coffee.

“Ih, who says I don't work? I'm working. Do I need to remember that I am a secretary of lo?”

Jonathan smiled cynically, “Sekertaris is useless yes.”

Edelweis throbbing, “Ih, totally underestimated lo!” Edelweis took the documents in Jonathan's hands. “Sini, let me help you. I will prove that I am not as stupid as you think, I am smart and useful!”

Jonathan didn't forbid it, instead he let Edelweis help his work. To be honest, he brought work home because lately his concentration is disturbed due to nausea that he often feels. Some of the work he had to take home.

“Udah, done.”

Moments later, the work that Edelweis did was completed. The woman handed back the documents she had learned to do, she smiled at how Jonathan was researching her and the man seemed like there was no reason to blame Edelweis' work.

“Where, how? Smart right me?”

Admittedly, if Edelweis works well. However, not Jonathan's name if immediately agree, he did not want to make Edelweis getting bigger head.

“Ah, this is easy. Sinta aja can directly do it, even faster than you can do it. So, not something special actually.”

Edelweis pursed his lips in annoyance. “Basic, never want to appreciate me. You usually just underestimate! Bummer!”

“Emang.”

“Ih..”

Edelweis involuntarily rubbed his stomach, he also spoke to his fetus inwardly. “Your father's bummer!”
