Bridal Tears

Two Red Lines

.

Early morning, 04:12 AM local time.

Esme's cell phone rings. Esme flinched then blinked one eye. He fumbled around the bed looking for his cell phone with eyes that still felt heavy.

Uh, what time is it? (Inner, while continuing to search for the whereabouts of the phone)

Not long, he got a cellphone after searching the entire bed.

"Who's the guy who doesn't have a job sending me a message this early?" he muttered, checking his phone.

3 New messages, from Hanabi?

Esme rubbed her eyes, then sat down and leaned against the bed. He opened the message.

Three messages, and one of them is a photo.

I think the one in this photo is your girlfriend.

.

(Hanabi sent a photo of Leo from the side)

.

Last night, I saw him coming out of the pharmacy. But I don't know what he bought.

Esme zoomed in on the photo, looking at it closely. "True, this is Leo !" both of his eyes were wide.

"What's Leo going to the pharmacy for at night? Is he sick? Ah ! Don't you think Leo bought me some medicine for my feet?" he murmured, always thinking positively.

Then Esme replied to a message from Hanabi

Meet me this afternoon, at cafe 86.

As soon as dawn came, Esme moved from her bed to the bathroom.

At 06:52 WIB.

Mr. Argus was reading the newspaper with his special glasses, accompanied by a warm cup of coffee. His face when reading was very serious.

Irina walked out of the kitchen, looking astonished at the dining table where her husband was there.

"Well, where's Alice?" the question is curious, while drying hands using a dry cloth.

Mr. Argus, who was sipping coffee, put the coffee cup back.

"Don't Alice go to school?" he said, reading the newspaper.

"Have gone to school without saying goodbye to me? I can't believe Alice's ignoring her mother." Irina frowned curiously, walking away from Mr. Argus just like that to Alice's room to confirm the whereabouts of her son.

Arriving at Alice's doorstep. The door was not closed, the door was slightly open. Irina pushed him and just walked in.

Alice's room was very dark, the curtains were not yet opened. Alice is not usually like that, because every waking up first thing Alice does is open the curtains and windows. Alice loved the morning air coming into her room, followed by the glare of sunlight.

Ms.Irina was more and more astonished. He was one step deeper into Alice's room.

Apparently, Alice who was lying curled up on the bed with a body wrapped in a thick blanket.

Alice !!

Ms.Irina scrunched her forehead. He looked anxiously, then Irina walked open the curtains and windows. Afterwards, she sat down on Alice's bedside and felt her child's forehead. But, not hot.

"Alice, what's wrong? Why don't you go to school?" tanya lirih Ms.Irina, very anxious.

Alice opened her eyes slowly. He was a little surprised, because his mother was sitting behind him with worry.

"I'm not feeling well, mom. I want to rest for one day" he said without looking.

Ms.Irina breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently, just not feeling well, not something serious.

"Yes, okay. Looks like the run-up to the National Examination made your stamina go down. Mama's gonna call your homeroom teacher, then make you some hot soup and some milk." Irina got out of Alice's bed.

Alice held her hand.

"No ! Do not have warm soup and milk. I'm looking for mangoes" pinta Alice with a glare in her eyes.

A mango?

Irina turned her head towards him, she looked at him strangely. "Alice, your face is very pale ! Did you stay up last night?" the question is getting more anxious.

Alice shook her head.

"Hmm. yes already. Later mama brought her mangoes," said Ms.Irina while looking at Alice's back. Then, he walked out of the room.

Sorry mam, actually my heart has not calmed down since yesterday. Last night I couldn't sleep because I was haunted by fear. (Batin Alice)

Alice felt nauseous again. He immediately closed his mouth, so that his nauseous voice could not be heard by anyone.

With a very weak body, he tried to get up from his bed. Alice immediately closed the room door, and took the test in the wallet she bought last night. His heart was racing faster, full of doubt and fear as he touched the test.

Alice took a step into the bathroom with uneasiness.

In the bathroom.

After reading the guide contained in the package, Alice put her urine into a small concave-shaped container.

He paused for a moment, his body trembling violently in fear. Then, Alice ventured, she let out a breath that already felt very heavy. Slowly, he stored the test into a concave container that had filled his urine.

His eyes were closed, his heart was beating violently, in his heart he uttered some do'a.

Oh my God, please ! Hope the result is negative. I promise, if it's negative I'll leave the man as far as possible and won't do it again. Give me one more chance, to improve. (Batin Alice)

After a long wait, with pleading. Alice opened her eyes slowly staring at the test.

Deg .....

The result shows two red lines. It was not faint anymore, the two red lines looked so clear.

"Huh? L-this...?" Alice swerved and patted her eel. "No. This is impossible ! I can't possibly get pregnant," she said blankly as she felt her stomach.

Her body increasingly shook violently, Alice stomped her back against the wall with a blank look leaping over.

Instantly, her tears were dripping. His body slumped down. Alice hugged her foreskin while biting her fingers. He still did not expect the results of the test.

Alice cried sobbing, cursing herself.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do?" he murmured, with cheeks that continued to get wet because his crying never subsided.

The marketing office.

Tok...

Esme who was checking the documents was a little surprised by the sound of knocking on the door.

"Lock !"

Kadita opened the door and just walked in. "Did you call me, director's mother?" ask Kadita a little bit.

Esme looked up at his face. "Ah, yes. Emm, why are you talking so hard?"

Kadita took a long breath. Then he dropped his body, sat on a chair.

"Hmm. Do you know, two days ago when you went on a field trip, Leo came here looking for you with a creepy face. He didn't get you here, I'm finally the one who got his frustration. He told me, if I'm in the office I'd better call you his profession. That's what he said," Kadita explained a little gloomy.

Esme smiled faintly. "Don't take heart, he's just upset" he said. "Oh yes. Kadita, immediately complete the tasks that two days ago I gave you, because tomorrow will be held a meeting" he told Kadita.

Kadita nodded his head. "Ready, director's mom !" he said with a smile, and then Kadita would move out of Esme's study.

Just suddenly. Esme felt nauseous as she lowered her face looking back at the document she was checking earlier.

Esme stomped her feet on the floor, her body began to break out in cold sweat as it tried to endure the nausea.

Uh, I can't hold it anymore.

Hoeekk...

Esme covered her mouth and immediately rushed towards the toilet, ignoring Kadita who was about to open the door.

Kadita's footsteps stopped when he heard Esme nausea.

"What's wrong with Esme?" he muttered while turning to Esme who was about to close the toilet door.

Kadita.

"It seems, I've been through this kind of situation as well." He stared intently at the toilet door that had been locked tightly by Esme, scratching her forehead.
