Demians

CHAPTER 22 - Girls Talk

“guys..kok we don't know each other anyway?? Don't be clumsy gini dong. I prefer the crowd” said Ines who broke our silence.

Right now I'm driving with Ines and Jihan to the top. I feel awkward having to open a conversation with them since our last meeting in Tegal.

“For the sake of..you are not angry with us, right?” ask Jihan who opened the conversation with me.

“ehh...engga kok..ngapain also angry until the whole thing..lagian also passed this long ago” I tried to smile so that I look okay.

Actually in addition to feeling awkward, I was also lazy to talk because I was holding back the nausea that attacked me since the beginning of the departure. As much as possible I held him until I found the nearest mosque. I really can't stand this nausea of mine. Before leaving, I drank milk reliever nausea and eat chocolate to prevent nausea.

“mmm guys..I stopped by the toilet first yes..already ration nih” I said while pretending to endure stomach pain when I saw the mosque on the roadside.

I parked the car without turning off the engine. Carrying a sling bag, I got out of the car and rushed to the toilet.

Hoek..hoek…

I was in the toilet for a long time, applying wind oil to my chest and stomach. Actually I want to go alone so that I can be free if at any time I experience nausea like this. After several times of spitting out clear liquid, I slashed my face with water and put on a pink lipstick to hide my pale lips. I rushed back to my car so Ines and Jihan wouldn't wait long and be suspicious of me.

Fortunately Ines and Jihan did not protest because they had been waiting for me for a long time, maybe they understood my stomach ache which was actually just an excuse that I made up. As I continued on the journey, the two of them were busy with their respective HPs which made me relieved not to have to open the conversation. I usually stay quiet more when I feel sick.

Unfortunately mama don't fuss, yeah.mama is no longer driving. Mama gamau mama's friends are suspicious of the condition of the mother, I said in my heart to calm my womb.

After traveling for approximately 2 hours, we finally arrived at the villa rented by Devan for the next 3 days. The villa is very spacious with several buildings, has a swimming pool in the middle of the villa, and there are wards that will be used as a blessing place in Ines and Devan.

Arriving at the villa, several officers were busy decorating for the preparation of tomorrow's event. Several times Ines and Jihan directed the officer if there was a change in the layout of the decoration. I just kept quiet without speaking because I did not interfere in the conduct of Ines and Devan's marriage from the beginning.

Ines came to the villa early to enjoy the spa as one of the wedding series in order to beautify themselves. The full spa facilities available at the villa make Ines invite me and Jihan to participate. As a close friend, Ines wants to remember the moment of her bachelorhood with me and Jihan for this one day.

Seeing Ines and Jihan who was enjoying a massage on his body made me doubt, because at this time I was pregnant which means I can not carelessly do a massage. I whispered something to the mother who was in charge of doing the treatment to me. Fortunately, the mother understood and finally I was able to do a massage without having to disturb my womb.

*****

The villa's condition was increasingly crowded with the arrival of the nuclear family from Ines and Devan. Alfi, Bian, and Devan had also come but were in different buildings from the girls' quarters. Knowing Bian's whereabouts somehow made me want to hug him. Suddenly I felt like my desire for it was strong. Is this what you call cravings? But why should I hug Bian?

Me, Ines, and Jihan gather in Ines's bridal chamber to spend time together before Ines changes his status tomorrow. We are passionate about our own activities. I who was lying on the bed moved restlessly because I was holding back my cravings which I was reluctant to realize. But on one hand I also thought, what if my cravings don't materialize? I'm afraid it will affect the fetus I'm carrying.

“arrghhh...” My frustrated groan while ruffling my coarse hair then walking out of the room. I don't care about Ines and Jihan who might be surprised at my behavior.

There's no other choice. I have to meet Bian immediately and make my wish come true. Ahh dear.why do you want your mom to hug papa.padahat mama is still not ready to meet him, protest me in the heart while rubbing the stomach.

Luck was on my side when I saw Bian standing by the pool. I don't know what he's doing, but I'm obviously walking slowly towards him and immediately hugging him from behind. Bian was surprised to be hugged all of a sudden.

“let it be like this.you just shut up” said as I hugged it tightly while inhaling its scent deeply. You guys are happy to be able to meet papa.do not fuss again yes after this.don't until papa is suspicious of us yes dear, I said in my heart to my future baby.

I hugged Bian from behind. Bian replied to her by rubbing both of my coiled hands around her waist. For the sake of the foetus I had, I was willing to do this shameful thing after my painful treatment of him. After being satisfied with my wish, I took off his embrace and prepared to run away from him. But my hand was pulled by Bian who made me fall back into his arms.

“now it's my turn” whispered in my ear while tightly hugging myself. I hugged Bian back, who had turned her back. I felt Bian breathing down my neck trying to inhale my scent deeply.

I resigned to Bian's treatment and was upset with myself who felt comfortable being hugged by him. Why are you two more on my side than mama?? I lamented in my heart that protested with my womb.

I tried to take off our embrace, “enough Bi. Forgive my attitude. I had to go back to the room, afraid that Ines and Jihan were waiting for” without waiting for Bian's answer, I immediately ran away from him.

*****

“lo where is Dem...kok kayak ngos-ngosan?” ines asked as he watched me return to the room in a hurry.

I smiled and answered Ines' question. I rubbed the sweat on my forehead and walked to the bathroom to do the cleaning.

Accompanied by the light from the sleeping lights, the three of us did girls talk for nostalgia about the journey of love Ines and Devan which began from the approach period until finally it was made when we KKN. The story continues with their LDR story until they finally decide to formalize their relationship in a marriage bond. We imagine tomorrow, the time when Ines and Devan are making each other holy promises. Suddenly Ines woke up from his sleep and took away his HP.

“guys I want to know you guys something, especially for Demi” chirps Ines while playing his HP.

“nah this dia” he said then showed a photo of a very adorable female toddler.

“ihhh. This is who Nes, how does it look like no stranger to his face?” ask Jihan who is anxious with the photo of the toddler.

“his name is Gabriella, 3 years old, and is the fruit of my love with Devan” me and Jihan gawking at Ines' words.

“YOUR CHILDREN?” I shouted excitedly after being aware of my surprise. “but..you guys gapernah the previous story...” I was still surprised by the astonishing facts conveyed by Ines.

“maafin me yes Dem..actually I want to know Gabby same you guys pas berkakan tomorrow” said Ines who regretted.

“ceritain...all..” Jihan's orders are full of emphasis.

It turned out that at graduation, Ines was already in a condition of 8 weeks pregnant. Ines pregnancy is something that was not planned before. They're upset because Ines forgot to take a pregnancy-preventing pill. Devan, who does not like to use safety, keeps it out inside, which eventually pays off.

Ines did not reveal her pregnancy to Devan because Devan was focusing on S2 preparations in Japan. Devan only found out when Ines was about to give birth. Ines condition that has experienced amniotic rupture but the baby did not come out finally made Ines' brother contact Devan because he did not have the heart with Ines's condition in pain.

Fortunately, Devan was in Indonesia to commemorate his father's death. In a state of anger and disappointment because it was too late to know Ines' pregnancy, Devan finally continued to accompany the labor process Ines. Maybe it was God's plan when the baby conceived Ines waiting for the presence of his father to welcome his presence in the world.

After Gabriella's birth, Devan was initially reluctant to return to Japan due to intending to marry Ines. But, Ines convinces Devan to continue completing his studies and promises to get married after Devan manages to get his master glass. During this time Gabriella was nurtured by Ines assisted with her mother. But during the wedding preparations, Gabriella is entrusted to her brother Ines' place.

“pantes aja I gapernah saw your son at home.realit was signed in his home brother Alex anyway.” said Jihan after hearing the story Ines, “but you guys are smart to hide facts this big”, he continued, insinuating Ines.

“important right now you already know.I also nyeriain this for sharing the same experience Demi in order not to hide her pregnancy too long with Bian. Don't be like me and Devan” said Ines while looking at me meaningfully.

“ap-what the hell lo...k-kok so I anyway..” my elak who was nervous because surprised to hear the words Ines. I didn't think Ines could figure out my secret that I was trying to shut down.

Jihan looked at me full of probes, “mau ngasitau what Demi?” jihan asked with a deep look at me.

“mau ng-ngasitau ap-what the heck..” my rebuttal then closed my stomach with both hands.

GOD..HELP ME!!! I shouted in my heart.

“Demetra..gue is a mother who has ever felt pregnant as well. Lo gabisa shut down your pregnancy from me. Now you tell me how old your content is...” said Ines while looking at me inside. So does Jihan who waits for my honesty.

“where can you guess if I'm pregnant?” aska dare.

“emple...lo lately difficult to contact because you are afraid of being caught with the lo perubuhan arguably strange it” replied Ines while moving both hands form quotes when saying the word "strange".

“trus just asked you to stop at the mosque, I secretly followed you to the toilet and heard you vomiting. Sorry if I like it, but from the beginning of departure your face is a bit pale and you try to cover up with make up” he continued.

“and you were suddenly upset and out of the room, I followed you again and I saw you swerving Bian by the pool. Guess it must be a craving, right? Lo gamampungkan bian like that if not for the desire of baby. I still want our last meeting where lo communication is not good with Bian” explained Ines who made me lose badly and can not cover it again.

“Dem...please you are honest yes same we” said Jihan while rubbing my hair that I divorced.

I let out a long sigh, “8 weeks” lirihku. Ines and Jihan immediately hugged me and the three of us cried together.

“guys please you guys keep quiet after this.the guys don't get scared first, especially Bian” my door when our hugs come off.

“Bian papanya Dem..he should know as well. Don't let me like Devan who just knew I want to mingelahirin” said Ines who hopes I tell my pregnancy to Bian.

I shook my head weakly, “gue want to mastiin something first Nes.lo know myself right I still do not know who the woman who had been related to Bian. I want to know all about him and the people he suspected before we started the relationship”

“if for example Bian turned out to have a girl there, what do you want Dem?” ask Jihan to me.

“maybe I'll tell him if he has a child when my son asks about his papa. I'm not gonna hold him accountable. Bian has his own life. My life is currently centered on them” I replied while rubbing my stomach, “they are my life now and later”.

“them? Fetal lo twins?” I nodded in response to Ines' question.

“anyhow if you need anything, say the same I yes Dem. Lo child, my son also” I was moved to hear Ines' words that concern me.

“i also Dem..although later I was rarely on your side, but as much as possible once a month I will go to Jakarta to nemenin you and my future nephews” said Jihan while gently rubbing my stomach that feels tight even though it still looks flat.

The three of us hugged back tightly. I am quite happy at the moment to see Ines and Jihan still willing to accept my condition and give more attention. Look dear.Many still care and love the same you, I said in my heart to my womb.
