DREAM OF THE SHADOW

CHAPTER 2

"Yuna, where did you put my black socks?" aditya asked as he unpacked the small drawer near the shoe rack.

"There is Dit. You don't unload a mess like donk. I always put it together so many times." Yuna is upset by her husband's behavior of looking for things by scrambling them.

"Yes tell Bik Sum to do it. I'm leaving first." he said as he walked out.

Yuna was used to her husband's attitude. They've been married two years. Either since when they no longer call each other with the title "honey" as when dating and in the early days of their marriage. Yuna called Becca to talk about work. They both pioneered the joint tutoring effort since last year.

"Becca, you're taking care of the limbel today, right? I'm going to the gynecologist." said Yuna.

"Well, are you pregnant?" Becca was surprised to hear that.

"No, just consult."

"Oh, okay. I'll be there soon. Today that was pretty good. You went to the doctor alone? Adit ga temenin?" ask Becca.

"Yes, himself. Adit said he couldn't because there was a meeting. It's old, yeah, I wanna get ready." Yuna hung up on him.

"Mom's test results are out. There's nothing wrong with your uterus and ovaries. Everything is in good health." explains Dr. Merry an obstetrician.

"So why am I not pregnant yet Doc? ****** my husband has also been tested and there is nothing wrong as well." asked Yuna.

"Look at Ma. There are several factors that cause a woman can not get pregnant even though all reproductive organs are healthy. One of them is, sorry, obesity. I suggest Mother Yuna start paying attention to weight. I can't promise if you lose weight then you can definitely get pregnant. No. gabe. But that could be one factor. The fat deposits in our bodies can affect our reproductive hormones" explains the doctor. Yuna heard his explanation. What foods should be avoided and should be consumed.

Yuna stopped by the Friendly Study Guidance. His and Becca's. They worked at a different company. But over time, they begin to feel bored with the office routine. They decided to open up tutoring because of Yuna's intelligence. He can also teach both Japanese and English he mastered. Yuna saw Aditya's black Ford B 1900 DIT parked outside the three-storey shophouse.

'Kok Adit is here huh?' yuna asked in her heart. Adit came out when Yuna had just opened the glass door.

"Yuna, where are you from?" tanyakanya.

"From doctor Merry. What are you doing here?" ask Yuna.

"Oh, look for you. Wanna take lunch. But not be. Silvi just called said there was a guest in the office. So I'm going back now. Bye." Aditya gets into his car leaving Yuna who has not had time to say anything. He breathed an upset breath. Her husband did not even ask what the doctor had said.

Yuna went inside. There were some parents of students waiting for their children inside. Yuna smiled at them. The business is running smoothly because of the location of the bimbel located near the school. The first and second floors were the tutoring grounds of his students. He entered a room on the third floor. Yuna saw Becca applying pink lipstick on her lips. He looked a little surprised when the door opened.

"Are you surprised?" ask Yuna.

"I went to the doctor. The point is everything's healthy, and I probably can't get pregnant because I'm obese." Yuna looked at her reflection from the glass of the bookcase next to her. It's bigger than it used to be. His weight is already 85 kg with a height of only 165 cm.

"What's the connection?" ask Becca. Yuna explained what the doctor said to Becca.

"Oh. When do you start a diet?" ask her while fixing her slightly tangled shirt. Yuna was confused as to how she was wearing the shirt from home, some went in and some were outside her miniskirt.

'When can I wear a miniskirt like that?' dream Yuna. He never wore clothes that were too attached to his body.  Always a loose outfit.

"Eitherway. I'm gonna try. But it must be hard. I regret not learning to cook from my mom. Maybe because the snacks I buy often are also not healthy" Yuna replied. Her parents have lived in Japan since Yuna, their only child married.

"try it. How know Adit can be sticky again with you." Yuna thought of Becca's words that she felt were true. Sometimes he feels embarrassed to invite him out or gather with his friends or also to the office. Yuna also did not dare to ask why Adit did not invite her. He was afraid to hear that his weight was the answer. Yuna prefers to be quiet and pretends not to be interested in going with her husband.

*****

Yuna looked at Adit who was lying down and was busy playing with his phone while smiling to himself.

"Whose same chats?" ask Yuna.

"Sama Erick." she replied. Erick is Adit's only brother in college. As far as Yuna knows, she is applying for an internship in a property or contractor company because her major is interior design for large buildings.

"Don't you ask what the doctor said?" Yuna was lying there.

"What's he saying?" adit asked without looking at his wife.

"My regime's healthy. Maybe I just have to lose weight" she replied.

"Oh." It was only Adit's answer that Yuna heard. Yuna was a little confused. How can she get pregnant if Adit rarely touches her? Maybe they only do it once a month or two months. It was after Yuna who asked with her body language. As far as Yuna is concerned, a man's 90 percent mind is ****. How could her husband last two months without doing that? I don't know, maybe her husband is busy with his other activities.

Yuna decided to go see a nutritionist tomorrow. Maybe his relationship with Adit stretched is his fault. She will be doing her diet tomorrow for her relationship with her husband. He sure could. Now his intentions are round. Since long ago he wanted to do it, but he did not have a strong reason so his intention was to go back and forth. Now she wants to get pregnant because of her in-laws' insistence as well. And to get pregnant, Yuna needs Adit. And to attract the attention of Adit again Yuna must do her diet. Must. Yuna chooses to sleep leaving her husband still busy with his cell phone.
