Dreams of a Poor Girl

Chapter 43

The night was getting late, all the invited guests had gone home. The newlyweds also entered the hotel room that Dirga had prepared. And now Zulfa, Dirga, Zahra and Amir are left.

"Son's coming home, Dek," said Zahra.

"Why not stay here, brother? Come home tomorrow morning, together with Iwan and Anis as well" Zulfa replied.

"Mas Amir has to work tomorrow, and Big Brother can also order from people make it tomorrow morning. Next time, if there's time you can play at home."

Hearing her brother's words, Zulfa was instantly listless. Because, he still misses his brother very much, almost a year without meeting and exchanging news makes the longing in Zulfa's heart even bigger. Once there was a chance to meet, but only for a moment.

"You should stay over! Tomorrow morning after breakfast we go home together" suggested Dirga.

Zahra looked at Amir for an opinion, and Amir immediately nodded as he rubbed his wife's head slowly.

"All right, we'll stay here" Zahra broke up.

"Thank you, Brother, Mas" Zulfa told Zahra and Amir with a smile.

They walked out of the hall to the reception to book another room. After getting the key, they rushed to their respective rooms.

......................

Dirga and Zulfa were already in the room, both of them were laying down on the bed. Not long after, Dirga got out of bed and cleaned himself in the bathroom.

Zulfa who saw her husband had entered the bathroom, she then prepared a change of clothes and placed it on the sofa. While waiting for her husband to finish his bath, Zulfa played his phone.

The bathroom door opened, then came out Dirga wrapped in kimono towel.

"Here's the shirt, Mas!" said Zulfa then showed the clothes he had prepared earlier.

"Thank you" said Dirga, then wearing his shirt.

"Come, sleep!" bring Dirga.

"I haven't had a shower yet" replied Zulfa.

"Udah night, Yang. Shower tomorrow morning, now you change your clothes and go to sleep."

"All right," said Zulfa.

Zulfa then changed clothes and joined her in bed with her husband. Without any activity, the two immediately fell asleep with Zulfa's position in Dirga's arms.

At 5 a.m., Dirga woke up to hear Zulfa's voice in the bathroom.

"Yes! You're all right, aren't you?" Dirga called out to Zulfa while knocking on the door.

"Yes! I'm in, yeah!" Because he did not get an answer, Dirga just went to the bathroom.

Dirga immediately approached Zulfa who was sitting on the floor with his head leaning against the wall.

"Yes!" call Dirga while caressing Zulfa's face.

"My body is limp, Mas," said Zulfa.

Without answering his wife's words, Dirga then carried Zulfa to rest.

"I don't know, Mom. Suddenly the stomach feels very nauseous," replied Zulfa.

"Yes, you rest again! I'll order you some warm tea."

Finally, Zulfa went back to sleep to recover his strength. Dirga called the hotel to deliver a glass of warm tea.

......................

At 6 a.m., everyone had gathered for breakfast. They had breakfast at the restaurant at the hotel. When the food was presented, both Zahra and Iwan were equally flabbergasted when they saw the unusual appetite of Zulfa.

"Dec, what's wrong with you?" asked Amir who saw his wife did not go to breakfast.

"Eh, that's Mas, I think there's something strange about Zulfa."

"Weird why?"

"Eating a lot is not usual."

Amit then looked towards Zulfa, and it was true, Zulfa looked so greedy to enjoy the breakfast at the table.

"Dec, tumben your portion of food a lot?"

Hearing a question from her brother, Zulfa immediately stopped eating her. Zulfa stared at one by one of them, who was also waiting for an answer from him.

"I didn't eat last night, so I was hungry. Moreover, this morning had vomited, as a result my stomach became more empty," replied Zulfa.

"You sick?" zahra asked with a worried look.

"No, Brother. I'm fine, just-" Zulfa hung up on his words which made Zahra even more anxious with her sister.

"What's free? Don't make you curious!"

"Actually, I-" Again Zulfa paused his sentence and this time with his head bowed.

"What's up, anyway? Don't make your brother and the others worry! What exactly are you?"

"He was cravings again" said Dirga who began to get anxious with his wife's behavior.

"Huh?" Really?" ask Zahra to make sure.

"Yes, the age of the womb has run 4 weeks," replied Dirga, while Zulfa could not help his smile to see the expression of all who were there.

"Alhamdulillah" said Zahra and others.

"Congratulations, Fa! May you and your baby-to-be be healthy" Anis said sincerely.

"Aamiin, thank you, Anis. May you also be quickly given a baby," Zulfa replied as he looked at Anis and Zahra alternately.

"Aamiin's."

"Get your health, Deck! Brother is happy to hear it, may you and your future children be healthy all."

"Aamiinu. Yes, Brother."
