~How Many Weeks?~

Tere walked hurriedly towards the bathroom and immediately vomited out his stomach which had forced him to come out.

"Huek, huek, huek.”

Tere continued to spit out his breakfast earlier that morning so that there was no more left in his stomach and now his stomach felt very hungry but he was not ready to eat and vomit again.

Since yesterday he continued to vomit, his condition is not fit even today Tere decided not to work first in the cafe as a waiter because of his condition is not possible. His condition is very weak, he cannot continue like this, he has to keep working to be able to eat and that can be done only when he is healthy.

"Damn it, I'm so hungry but I'm tired of constantly vomiting God" Tere said, slumping on the bathroom floor lamenting his fate.

This is the life of Tere Queenera, living a life without anyone who cares whether he is alive or dead. Tears streamed down both of her cheeks as she recalled her late mother and father who had died in a plane crash leaving Tere alone to face the rigors of the capital.

"It looks like I have to go to the pharmacy, buy some medicine for my condition to improve. In a month I'm leaving for America for college there's no way I'm sick like this."

Tere tried to get up from his seat and took his wallet, jacket, and umbrella because it was raining even though it was just a drizzle.

Tere locked the boarding door and opened his umbrella and walked through the rain that soaked the earth. Tere did not realize that there was a car that had followed him more precisely since a month ago when the incident that night.

She is Arya Panggalila.

Somehow Arya could not forget the stern face and sharp gaze of a Tere from her mind. Guilt always haunts him when remembering that night even though it was actually the fault of the two of them and Tere did not hold him to account but still he was always haunted by guilt when remembering Tere's tears that morning.

~How Many Weeks?~

"Excuse me if I want to buy a cure for nausea and dizziness," Tere told the woman who owns this pharmacy.

The woman looked at Tere from head to toe with a judging gaze making Tere stand up clumsily.

"How many weeks deck?"

Instantly Tere's face immediately gawked because he did not understand the meaning of the apothecary's words.

"I mean mbak?" Tere asked because he did not understand what this apothecary owner said.

"How many weeks pregnant is she?" Asked the owner of the pharmacy to clarify the question.

Tere's heart instantly stopped beating for a moment, his breathing choked at the apothecary's owner's question. Tere's body immediately limp, his vision blurred, his head dizzy and Tere could no longer hold back his dizziness and his consciousness was gone.

He could faintly hear the owner of the pharmacy and some people tried to wake him up and call him but Tere was too tired with his current state of life.

And the last he heard was a baritone voice calling his name and Tere could feel his body being transported by the owner of that voice. After that Tere was completely unconscious.

"You must realize Tere, I'm here with you. I will always protect you, forgive me for ruining your future Tere."
