Who Is Pregnant With My Child?
The Hospital Again

Adel PoV's

"Good morning Adel." Said a nurse in a voice that sounded so full of joy.

I looked at him and started to moan.

"I'm back here again." I said with annoyance.

"Yes, I'm starting to think that the hospital will give you a permanent room in this hospital, because you're here a lot." The nurse smiled at me.

"I also began to think that it might indeed be a good idea, given that the hospital seemed to have become a second home to me." I said with a laugh.

I tried to sit down. But I started to feel pain in my hip. I then looked at the familiar looking nurse's face and she looked at me with a sympathetic face as well as looking compassionate to me.

I began to wonder why I could be in this hospital again. And slowly all of those things started I could remember again. That foreign man! In a dead end alley....

Tears started falling down my cheeks.

"It's all quite surprising, dear. How are you feeling now?" Ask the woman attentively to me.

"Has he been?"

I can't continue my words. My voice was so trembling at the thought of something bad that had happened to me.

"Sorry baby, the bad guy is gone by the time someone finds you. And you've been here a few days." Said the nurse.

"Has Mama or Sofia been told?" Manyau trembling.

"No, not yet. Do you want us to call someone for you?" Ask the nurse.

"certain." Reply to me with tears slowly coming down my cheeks.

After that the nurse left my room and went to see other patients and she also said she would call my family to let them know that I was okay.

But... I've been tainted by that creepy guy.

I'm grateful that I don't remember anything that's happened to what that man did to my body. But I still feel so dirty. The thought of my body being touched by that man made me angry and disappointed in myself.

'Why can I go wrong?'

'Why can't I fight him?'

'Why can't I escape and escape his grip when I successfully kick his sensitive device?'

'Oh my God, why did all this have to happen to me?'

If only I hadn't thought about my three little twins, I would rather have just died than have to live with this shame. However, thinking that I was going to leave the three of them behind made me try hard and accept this heartbreaking fate that God has given me.

I can't imagine what my three twins would be like if I were to die. They still have my mom who can take care of them. But anyway, Mama is no longer young and would be troublesome for Mama to take care of her three young grandchildren. Although they actually have their Papa, but of course they will not be able to love them as I do. The proof is, Papa they just left them.

I put a hand on my head because I started to feel pain in the scar that was behind the bandage because it fell hard at that moment.

I sat down for a few minutes just to mourn myself. Actually, everything is not too painful, if you remember the smiles on the faces of my three twin children. But the thing that hurts the most right now is the scar on my head.

"Adel baby, are you still awake?" The nurse said as she walked back into my room.

I looked at him and smiled.

"Yes I'm still awake. Have you called my family?" Ask her.

"Yes, I called your mom. He'll be here as soon as possible. He seemed to sound so relieved after learning that you were here." Said the nurse.

"Looks like. I guess it's all because it's like I've been asleep for a few days here. Of course Mama must be worried. Mmmm when will Mama be here?" My toot.

"Oh about 15 minutes, said your mother." The nurse said.

I thanked the nurse and she left my room.

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

I sat there, in the hospital room where I was being treated, thinking about what had happened to me. Suddenly a knock was heard on the door of my room. It hasn't been 15 minutes and I seem curious as to who's coming, because it doesn't seem like Mama.

I then asked the person outside to come in and when the door opened there were two police officers coming inside with flat expressions on their faces.

"Mrs Adela Dwitara Lolata?" Said one of the police officers.

"Yes." Yeah." I reply while breathing.

"We're here to talk to Anada about what happened. Don't you have a problem with that?" Ask one of them again.

I looked towards the two of them and nodded my head. This is not going to be a pleasant conversation for me.

"alright. Do you remember what happened to you?" Askthem.

I took a deep breath, trying to gather up my courage to remember everything that had happened. I started to tell everything from the beginning.

"I had a fight with my roommate and she was also a baby sitter for my children. After that, I decided to leave the house to think for a while. I don't want to meet someone I know. So I went to a place where I don't usually go there often." My word.

The police officers looked at me and asked me to continue my story.

"I walked into a cafe that seemed to have just opened. There was a man sitting in the corner of the room. He kept staring at me and it made me feel scared. After I decided to leave the cafe, he was no longer at the table where he was sitting. When I was halfway home from my apartment, I realized that he was following me. Out of fear, I turned in the wrong direction and he." I try not to cry.

"Do you remember how that man looked?" Ask them well.

"Ah sorry, well, I mean he looks like an ordinary person. She has black hair and a little curls. His eyes are black too. He was wearing ordinary clothes. But all of that makes him look so scary." I said in a slightly trembling voice.

"All right, thank you. If we get any other leads, we'll call you." Said the police officer.

"Hey wait a minute..." My words called out to them confusedly as they were about to leave my room. "I never said I'd file a lawsuit." My speech.

"indeed not. But your husband said that you... Is he wrong?" The police officer asked, staring at each other with a confused face.

"Husband?" My speech.

Now I'm the one who's confused about who they call husband.

"Johns. He's outside waiting with your mom." Said the police officer as if realizing the confusion from my face.

"John is here?" I said while sitting.

I tried to digest what the two police officers had just said.

'John's outside and waiting for me with Mama?' I said in my heart.

'Why should the name of John who is called being out there?' I ask again in my heart.

'Maybe because you've been missing for a few days' said a voice inside my head.

"Can you ask him to come inside?" I asked the police officer politely.

"Of course Madam." Say them and then leave.

I lay there on top of the bed for a few minutes before Mama seemed to run in through the door.

"Adel darling.... You're sober....!!!" Shouting Mama.

I laughed and hugged Mama back, as Mama's arms coiled around my body.

"Hey Ma, I'm fine." I said by showing my bold attitude so that Mama would not worry too much about me.

"Adel, are you really okay?" Asked a voice that sounded so familiar in my ear from the direction of the door.

I looked over Mama's back and found that John was standing at the door. His face looks almost the same as I always remember. But the smile on his face had disappeared. Even from the look in his eyes, he looked so sad. For a while, I could feel the pain that was inside him. But then I realized that it was she herself who carried that pain in her.

"Hi John, how are you?" I said softly.

He looked at me with the same look I did to him a few minutes ago.

"Your head looks bad." It was her words that made me laugh.

"Yes, it's a little bumpy. But I'm fine." My reply.

"Mama's going to go get us some iced tea or something else. Mama might as well buy some cake. Do you want that, baby?" Ask Mama to me.

I nodded my head in doubt. Not because I don't want that cake or that iced tea. But because it means that I'm gonna be left alone with Mama with John. We have not been together for a long time since we were together. It would be best if there was someone else in this room to accompany us so that there would be no silence that made things awkward between the two of us.

"Mom Helen, I can do it. Stay here with Adel." John sounded doubtful.

Of course he took such a solution because he also seemed to be thinking about what I was feeling.

I know I don't want to spend time with him. But somehow I felt a little upset because she didn't want to spend her time with me. This feeling is strange.

'Basic heart!'

"Don't be stupid John! Let me just go." Mama said after that there was no more words.

She went out of the room to get iced tea and cake as she said.

After my mother left, the silence I had been thinking about since then began to come. We both sat down and hoped that each other would start that conversation. I kept hoping that someone would start talking. But none of us did.

"Well, I'll be an adult. How are you John?" I asked with annoyance because we finally had to start our conversation first.

"What makes you feel like an adult?" I asked John harshly.

"The fact is that I'm not the one who ran away from the family when I thought that things got so bad without talking to someone." My reply was no less angry.

"Hey, I did make a mistake. You also made the same mistake and look at the result that's all three of them." Said John.

"I'm sorry? What the hell are you saying? They are not a mistake. They were not planned, but it was also not a mistake and who helped them all this time huh? They were not present just because of a miracle and made them able to be born just like that." My speech.

John looked towards the floor realizing that he was indeed guilty. His face was red, either out of anger or shame, I'm not sure. But I hope that it's because he's embarrassed.

"O Lord Adel, listen.... I'm sorry, okay. I'm sorry because I can't remember that I'm the Papa of those kids. I'm sorry I couldn't make things work out. I'm sorry because I always make mistakes and make my own decisions without asking first. I'm sorry I just left. But trust me if I don't want that to happen and I'm really sorry for everything." Shouted John to me.

I looked at him because he looked angry.

"Well, John, I understand." I said and distracted my attention.

"You know, I'm not the root of the problem here Adel. You're not perfect either. All of this essentially brings two heads into one relationship and that means you and I." Said John.

My jaw feels hard.

"You think it's all my fault because things aren't going well? Do you think that it's all my problem that you think that I'm cheating on you? What have I done to make you not believe me? I'm in love with you, John. I sat in the hospital thinking where the man who loved me went. Why isn't he there? I think that there's something wrong with you. I thought you must be sick or something bad happened to you. But you're not even a loser." My words were so angry that they were venting all the emotions that had been buried in my chest.

Seriate....
