USTADZ
85. Getting pregnant?

"Yahla!" Dian waved his hand at Syahla who had just entered the cafe area. Shahla smiled and waved her hand back.

"Sorry, have you waited a long time?" ask Syahla after finishing playing with Dian.

"No, just now I was. Btw, yesterday's new from Amrik, where's the gift?" dian Goda. Indeed, the two of them still often contact each other since the publication of Syahla's first novel. And this time, Dian again asked to meet to discuss the next contract.

"Sorry brother, not to buy souvenirs. You see, actually I came home not according to the schedule anyway," Syahla felt bad.

"Oh, I was just kidding La. Don't take that heart! I'm also here the intention is not to ask for souvenirs, but want to talk about the contract! Oh yes, before entering the discussion, we eat first yes. I'm a really big laper!"

Shahla nodded her head in agreement. He was quite hungry because some days his appetite was reduced drastically. Maybe the effects of heartache also make people become appetiteless.

Dian then ordered grilled fish for herself and fried rice for Syahla. Soon, the two women of different ages were already engrossed in talking about many things. Makes Syahla momentarily forget all her problems.

It was only for a moment, because after returning to the apartment again, he felt a void in his heart. The sad feeling that was still left in my heart came back. Making him inevitably have to hold back tears as hard as possible.

"Shaaahla?"

The call made Syahla turn her head, seen Gian out of the elevator. "I heard that you've come home, but I haven't seen you at all. Uh, apparently we met here."

"Hi," Shahla as much as possible forced her lips to smile. Although he has not been able to hide his eyes that look swollen.

"Hi too. Uh, how did you get home? Isn't that two weeks?"

"Ah, yes, I have a sudden affair here, so go home sooner." replied Syahla concocting an excuse.

"Oh.. " Gian did nod his head, but his eyes looked at Shahla's face closely. "There's nothing, right?"

Syahla. I didn't think Gian would ask that. But he hurriedly shook his head. "No, there's nothing."

"Oh, thank God that's it. Oh yeah, how's Marla doing? Want to get picked up now? Well, even though Marla just got along with Milly and Chiko," Milly and Chiko are Gian's cat names.

"Eng, actually I want to take care of you again. I'd like to ask you to take care of Marla in a moment. You see, I've been busy lately, so he can't even take care of Marla all day."

"Okay, okay, no problem." Gian nodded his head. The man actually felt strange about Syahla's words. Of course, because Gian saw for himself how Syahla treated Marla like her own child. Even before leaving for America, Syahla looks very heavy to release Marla. So, why would he leave Marla longer?

There must be something strange, inner Gian in the heart.

Agreeing with Gian, Anggika also realized that his best friend was starting to look strange. These few days he rarely even saw Shahla eat twice a day. Well, maybe the girl bought some food outside. Especially lately Syahla is busy with plans to launch his new novel. But, why does Anggika feel that Syahla's body is getting thinner?

Anggika also often see Syahla vomiting like a sick person. But every time it was checked, the girl did not have a fever. Even more strange, Syahla also said that she felt nauseous whenever she smelled a perfume or a slightly pungent aroma. Anggika finally affected by the impact, he is not allowed to wear perfume if in the house.

Anggika's anxiety is then shared with her boyfriend, Sister Ren. But, Kak Ren's response was completely unexpected.

"I'm sure she's pregnant" Ren said firmly. "There's no other reasonable reason for that."

"Huh? Don't say ah, baby!" hardik Anggika's. "Syahla is still in college, she is still young! It can't be pregnant!"

Brother Ren took a long breath. "Honey, she was twenty years old, mature enough to get pregnant. After all, Shahla also has a husband. So, it's not even weird that she's pregnant!"

"Yes, it's good, dong! Precisely because pregnant can even make them better! Aren't you?"

Anggika looked at her boyfriend's face which showed a hundred percent confident expression. Even though what Ren said made sense, but when did Syahla really get pregnant?

"Try me, you said slowly to Shahla. Ask her to check the pregnancy with a testpack. If she's really pregnant, then she needs to start taking care of herself now. But if not, he'll have to go to the hospital to check on his health."

Suppose you listen to Brother Ren's words carefully. His brain began to think. How do I talk about this to Shahla?

...----------------...

Arriving at the apartment, Anggika was surprised by Syahla who was sitting languidly on the sofa. His head was bowed and his face was covered by his long, unraveled hair.

"La," Anggika approached timidly. His eyes glanced at Shahla's feet, making sure that the woman in front of him was truly human and not an invisible creature. "Lo why?"

Shahla raised her head. His face was wet with tears. "People.."

"Why? Why?" Angika panic. "Lo's sick? Want me to get to the hospital?"

Syahla shook her head. "What do I have to do? L'm.. I'm.."

Anggika waited for Syahla to finish her speech with a pounding heart. "Why? Lo why?"

Shahla shows a flat object in her hand to Anggika. "I'm pregnant Nggi,"

Anggika. She received a pregnancy test that Syahla gave her with her hands shaking. "It's not valid La? How many times have you tried?"

"Three times. Yesterday morning, yesterday again, and this morning. All results are positive. Now how am I supposed to?"

Anggika sat beside Shahla and let Syahla lean her head on her shoulder. "Well, how else? This is already happening. You talk to Mr. Amar, he should know because he's Lo's husband."

"But, I'm afraid Nggi.."

"Fear why La?"

"Fear that Mas Amar doesn't want to be with this baby. What if for example Mas Amar divorced me, as I told him at the time? How am I supposed to if that happens? How am I my son?" Sally started crying again.

"Shahla. Oi. Lookatme! Shahila!" Anggika was forced to raise her voice so that Syahla looked at her. "Take care of yourself, okay? All of that is just bad thoughts. I'm sure Mr. Amar won't admit it. I know how much he is the same Lo. Syahla, now Lo is not just responsible for herself Lo. There's another human in Lo's stomach. If you are sad, baby Lo can be sad. Don't you want your baby to be sad?"

Syahla shook her head.

"Goodle. So, from now on, be a happy mother and always think positive. Don't cry too much, and start smiling. Try my test, Miss Syahla, smile.."

Syahla looked at Anggika with a breath that was still choked due to the rest of her crying. Then slowly, he began to raise the corners of his lips. Showing a thin smile.

"Good," Anggika hugged Shahla tightly. "You could've been a good mother, La,"
