When Love Should Determine
Chapter 13

Since that day, there has been no commotion. Larissa continued to drink the milk Iqbal gave until it ran out, of course without Hamzah's knowledge. She also behaved as usual in front of her husband, so she did not suspect him

Larissa continues to help her mother as usual, although she can not linger as long as before. He also has to take care of his own health for the sake of the child he bears. Who else would help the mother if not her. Iqbal's wife cannot be expected. He never wanted to help.

His relationship with Iqbal is still the same as it was. Stay cool without greeting each other even though they live on the same roof. Larissa never questioned that. He was used to it from childhood.

Today Larissa content enters the age of three months. He continues to try to maintain his nutritional intake well. He also manages his stress well.

Everything went well. There's nothing to worry about. But something bad suddenly happens, putting Larissa back under severe stress.

Somehow at first suddenly the husband was involved in fighting each other with Iqbal, his brother. He screamed in fear when he found out.

Assisted by several neighbors, he tried to separate the two. And after success she immediately brought her husband into the room.

"What's up, yank? Why are you fighting with your sister?" larissa asked after they were in the room.

"I was watching television. Suddenly he shut off the power line. I asked him why he did it. But the answer he gave made me very angry" Hamzah replied.

"What did he say?" larissa asked again while cleaning the wound on her husband's face.

"She said it was good to watch tv. Whose money is used for electric power! That's what he said."

"Continue?."

"Yes I said, how do I know. The guy I lived here too not long ago. If it wasn't for me marrying your sister, it wouldn't be possible for me to live here. The one who pays for electricity is me, not you!."

"Then?."

"Eh he was angry. Yes, I hit all of you and then it happened to hit each other earlier" replied Hamzah as if without burden.

Larissa breathed a heavy sigh. She stopped cleaning the wounds on her husband's face. "You shouldn't have cheated on him. If you could be a little patient, it would not be like this" he said.

"You're defending your brother?" hamzah asked with an angry expression.

"Mom.not so. I just don't want any more commotion. Shame to see the neighbors!" answer Larissa quickly. She didn't want her husband to misunderstand her. But apparently Hamzah was already angry.

"I'm sorry I married you!" hamzah said rudely.

Larissa was surprised to hear the words of her husband. Her tears spilled instantly. "What do you mean say that?" larissa asked with tears.

"Yes, I'm sorry. Because I married you, I got in trouble because of your family" Hamzah replied.

Larissa was increasingly hurt by the harsh words spoken from her husband's lips. She no longer recognized her husband.

Hamzah came out of the room and slammed the door hard regardless of how hurt Larissa was.

Later that night, Larissa had bleeding again. Even this time it's better. She kept thinking about the incident last afternoon, also with the words of her husband earlier, so she was stressed. He also said this to his husband. But the answer he got made Larissa have to swallow disappointment.

Her husband said, "Udah is not to be thought about. At most you're bleeding normally. You just rest like yesterday. The bleeding will stop on its own."

Larissa said nothing more. He chose to obey his words by immediately laying down his body on the bed. Although with tears and swallow disappointment because her husband did not show the slightest sympathy.

Time shows at ten o'clock in the night. It's time for Hamzah to go to sea. He changed his clothes and immediately left without saying goodbye to his wife.

Larissa looked at her husband's departure with tears in her eyes. Really, she felt like she didn't know her husband.

...****************...

In the morning, Larissa went to the house of Budhe Surti, the sister of her mother, to buy rice. From last night he had not eaten anything. And now his stomach feels very hungry.

For Larissa, Lia is not just a cousin, but also a friend. Reuniting and telling each other makes Larissa momentarily forget the problem. Suddenly he came back to bleed.

Lia was surprised to see blood coming out through her cousin's legs. He asked, "Larissa, are you bleeding again?" while frowning.

"I.iya" Larissa replied nervously.

"When have you had any bleeding?" ask again.

"Since last night."

"Have you checked?."

"Yet. I don't have money to check."

"Stupid!. Do you want your baby not to survive?" shouted Lia furiously.

"But I don't have any money" said Larissa.

"Not to think about money. Now you change your clothes. I'll take you to the midwife."

"But...."

"There's no buts. If anything happens to my niece-to-be, I won't forgive you!" lia replied firmly.

Lia immediately picked up her clothes and told Larissa to change. And after Larissa finished changing clothes, she drove him to the midwife.

The distance from the house of the midwife with Lia's house is not too far away. Just a few houses away. And when he got there Larissa immediately checked. There were no visitors at the time, because the atmosphere was still early in the morning.

The midwife suggested Larissa do an ultrasound to find out the condition of the fetus it contains. The bleeding he was experiencing was very severe. Moreover, he did not quickly get help when experiencing it. The midwife also gave a letter of introduction for him to do USG.

The place to do USG is very far, which is near the district office. Larissa was confused on how to get there. Moreover, he also did not have enough money.

Larissa and Lia leave the midwife's house. They split up in front of Lia's house. He can't take Larissa to his house, because he has to go to school.

Larissa thanked me before they parted. Then he stepped himself into his home.

At home, Larissa awaits Hamzah's arrival with anxious expectations. She was afraid that her husband would get angry again if he found out he had gone to the midwife.

After waiting for so long, Hamzah finally came too. He arrived home at nine in the morning. He went to the bathroom to clean his body.

Larissa made a cup of coffee for her husband while he was taking a bath. Her husband would complain of a headache if he had not had coffee. When he was ready, he brought the coffee into the room. Hamzah also finished his bath.

After changing clothes and eating, Hamzah lay down on the bed and slept. Before her husband actually slept, Larissa immediately approached her husband to say about the USG earlier.

"Yank. I've been bleeding again. Lia took me to the midwife for a check-up" Larissa said.

"Then?" asked Hamzah flatly.

"The midwife told me to do USG at the sub-district puskesmas. There the cost is relatively cheaper. He also gave me a letter of introduction to get there" Larissa replied while offering a letter of introduction from the midwife.

"Then what do you mean?" hamzah asked as if he did not understand.

"I don't have the money to do USG" Larissa replied. She hoped that her husband would understand the meaning of her words.

However, the answer that Hamzah gave made Larissa have to swallow disappointment again.
