When Love Should Determine
Chapter 16

Since the quarrel, Hamzah has not been rude to Larissa. He returns to the Hamzah that Larissa used to know. Hamzah is loving and caring.

That night Larissa was eager to eat meatballs, one of her favorite foods. He asked Hamza to drive him. Hamzah happily complied with his wishes.

It did not take long they also arrived at the meatball vendor's shop. Larissa also ordered a pack of meatballs to take home. He deliberately only ordered one because Hamzah did not want to.

The meatball seller handed the meatballs an order, and Larissa handed over a sum of money to pay. Then they went back home.

Arriving at Larissa's house immediately ate the meatballs he had bought earlier. He was very good when he ate it. He seemed to have forgotten the wounds he had suffered.

All of that is due to the attitude of Hamzah who returned as before. Although sometimes the pain of stomach often approached.

After eating meatballs, Larissa was preparing to sleep. And as usual, he will not sleep if not accompanied by Hamzah first.

Hamza lay beside his wife. He hugged Larissa's body. And it did not take long to hear the soft snoring sound from the lips of the wife.

Hamzah went up, preparing to go to sea, because time had shown ten o'clock at night.

Not long after Hamzah went to sea, Larissa's stomach pain came back. He got up and rubbed his stomach to relieve the pain.

Slowly the pain went away, and Larissa went back to sleep. But not long after, the pain came back. This time it hurt even more. Larissa did the same thing again, and the pain disappeared.

Throughout the night Larissa constantly felt that pain. Even the pain is getting worse.

The pain just comes and goes. The pain is similar to the pain a woman experiences when she is about to give birth. But unfortunately Larissa didn't know that. He thought it was just an ordinary pain that would go away on its own.

Of course, Larissa did not know, because she had never felt the pain during childbirth.

Larissa to let out tears because of the intense pain she felt. But he endured the pain himself. He did not dare to wake his mother.

Time shows at three in the morning. Larissa's mother woke up. He began to dwell in the kitchen to prepare his merchandise later. For years he did that at this hour.

Knowing that her mother had woken up, Larissa went out of the room. He immediately approached his mother and complained of pain in her stomach. Tears broke because they could no longer bear the pain.

Bu Ani looked worried, but he tried to stay calm. He knows that Larissa is currently experiencing contractions. He told Larissa to lie down on her bed.

Larissa obeyed her mother's words. He lay in a second position bent. Head is a bit high from his body.

Iqbal looked panicked. He even abandoned his intention to go to sea. Although he was cold to Larissa, but he could not bear to see his half-sister crying in pain.

All breathed a sigh of relief, as Larissa stopped crying and no longer complained of pain. Iqbal decided to go to sea after feeling Larissa was fine.

Shortly after Iqbal's departure, Larissa was again hit by extreme pain. Even the pain was more intense than before. Larissa's bones are like being chopped off in pain. She cried so much, "mother, help me. My stomach hurts so much, Mom" she lamented.

Ms. Ani can't do anything. He simply rubbed his daughter's hair to calm her down. "Patience, son, the strong!." That's all he can say.

"Mother, sick! Please..." Larissa kept on wailing. He almost lost consciousness because of the intense pain he was experiencing.

Larissa felt her stomach being pulled as hard as she could. That's the height of the pain. It was then that he again took out a piece of meat, but this time it was even bigger. It was as big as an adult's fist. That's the fetus he's been carrying all this time. And the pain was over.

Larissa's body is weakened. Breath gasping. But he tries to keep getting up. He wanted to see what had just come out of his stomach.

He took a piece of meat between his legs. "Oh Allah, this is the fetus I have been carrying all this time" Larissa said with tears in her eyes.

Bu Ani took the piece of meat from Larissa's hand and brought it back. I don't know what he did to the meat.

Coinciding with that, the dawn prayer also reverberated. Ani decided to go to Larissa's in-laws' house to inform her of her condition.

Not long ago Larissa's mother-in-law came. He looked at Larissa for a moment. He promised to come again when morning came.

In the morning, Larissa's two in-laws actually arrived. This time they were driving. Larissa will be taken to one of the clinics in the city.

Larissa was confused again, because he did not have the money to pay for treatment later. All the jewelry that he used to wear has been sold by Bu Ani and the money he has given to Iqbal because at that time Larissa did not lend to him. Ms. Ani promised to replace it with a necklace someday.

Larissa had to give up her wedding ring to sell. He asked his sister-in-law to sell the wedding ring.

Not long after, Larissa was finally taken to the clinic. This time he borrowed money from his mother. Which he will replace with money from the sale of his wedding ring.

After a long journey, they finally arrived there. Larissa immediately get handling because the atmosphere is still quiet.

The doctor examined Larissa's birth canal by inserting her hand into her womanhood. Larissa endured extreme pain throughout the examination.

The doctor asked him a few questions. Among them are how old Larissa content is at this time, how old is now, and how the shape of the meat that he released earlier.

All questions are answered by Larissa clearly. Then the doctor said if the content of Larissa classified as weak. It is likely caused by her very young age while pregnant. Doctors also recommend that Larissa do KB first until the age is mature enough to contain again.

Larissa could not decide directly. She wanted to talk about this with her husband first. The doctor also allowed.
