A week has passed since Karen and Rico met Rusdi's father. Karen and Rico live in the same apartment. That he did in order to keep the woman he loved from the actions of people who did not like them, especially Arion.
"Are you ready?" ask Rico when he enters the room. She saw that Karen was still sitting on the makeup chair.
"Wait, a little more," Karen replied as she applied lipstick in a hurry.
Rico himself could only smile seeing that, the young man was happy because Karen looked even more excited today. She has also started dressing up which makes her look even more beautiful.
"Don't overdo it, I don't like you being the center of attention later" Rico protested as he walked closer to Karen. The young man looked at Karen from the mirror reflection, then gently touched the woman's shoulder. "I'll be jealous if there's another man with your beauty."
Karen who heard that blushed in embarrassment. "Don't do it, my makeup is normal. This is overkill, you're overkill."
Rico shakes. "No. I'm not exaggerating, I'm saying what it is. Today you do look very beautiful, I couldn't recognize you just now" Rico said sincerely.
"Ah, stop. Don't keep going I'm ashamed to hear it." Then Karen stood up straight from her chair. Suddenly it immediately made Rico a little surprised, usually Karen stood carefully because her legs were still weak but now she was more nimble.
Rico still did not say anything, he just stared in astonishment. While Smiling himself saw Rico's expression.
"Didn't your leg hurt?" ask Rico.
"No. It seems that now that his legs are fine, I was also surprised by this all while sleeping earlier. But I'm happy" Karen replied enthusiastically.
In that instant Rico also scattered his embrace to Karen, he felt very happy to see the condition of Karen's legs that had improved. This morning really opened with very encouraging news, Rico did not expect that Karen's legs could heal quickly.
"I'm very happy to see it" said Rico with enthusiasm. She hugged Karen very tightly, because she was so happy.
Karen also felt very happy because her legs were functioning properly. "It's all because of you. All this time you've always helped me to practice walking, that's why my paralysis has healed so quickly." Karen expressed her gratitude to Rico.
The young man broke his embrace, he cupped Karen's cheeks. "I don't know what to say, it makes me so happy. This is all there is also an effort from you to be able to recover and be able to walk normally again, this is the result now," Rico said with teary eyes.
Karen could only respond with a small nod.
"We've done this first, shouldn't we go to the hospital right away?" Karen reminded. The woman smiled sincerely at Rico.
"Oh, yes, I forgot. I came here today and I wanted to call you quick, because I'm too happy to forget that." Rico patted his own forehead. "Then we leave now?"
"Come on."
They came out of the room and went to the hospital. Today is Karen's schedule to check the content, actually she also missed the previous schedule so this has been a long time like Karen did not check the content. Karen hoped that the baby she contained was okay, because all this time she felt too much thought. It may affect the growth of the baby in the womb.
"It felt like I hadn't been to the hospital for a long time, I was a little nervous" Karen said as the car driven by Rico had been on the road.
Rico glanced at Karen, then the young man smiled. "Don't think too much, everything will be fine. If you are tense, our baby will also be tense later," said Rico with one hand that suddenly rubbed gently Karen's stomach.
To Karen's surprise, the woman blushed in embarrassment, but she also liked the touch Rico gave her. Because it feels more comfortable because of that soft touch.
Shortly after, they arrived at the hospital. Karen and Rico immediately queue in the waiting room before entering the turn, all the while waiting for Rico's turn to always hold Karen's hand. He still could not believe that the woman was able to walk normally again, Rico was very happy about it.
Until finally their turn came, Rico immediately invited Karen to enter the room. Inside, they were hardly welcomed by the doctor.
"Good morning" said the doctor.
Rico and Karen also replied that it was no less friendly. "Good morning, Doc."
The doctor prepared a gurney for Karen, after she was ready to tell the woman to lie down because she would do an ultrasound to see the development of the fetus.
"Please lie down first."
Karen nodded, then she climbed into the gurney with the help of Rico. Karen looked a little nervous, but Rico gave a stare that hinted that she didn't need to be tense.
"Excuse me, yes, I take off a little bit of his shirt" the doctor said. Then he opened a little bit of Karen's shirt, after which he also smeared something on Karen's stomach. Before finally the ultrasound device began to be moved above the woman's stomach.
Because he initially felt a little amused, but over time he began to get used to the taste. The doctor looked carefully at the movement of the fetus in Karen's stomach, he saw that everything was fine.
Rico himself also looks focused on looking at the monitor screen, he can see if there is something there. "Is that the baby?" asked Rico innocently.
"Yes, right. It's your baby, now it's 3 months old. The development is also very good," replied the doctor.
Hearing that made Karen smile, she could finally feel relieved. Turns out the baby is very strong, even though all this time he had too many thoughts.
"Regardless of the mother's health, do not mind too much. I will also provide vitamins to maintain fetal health, not to forget to eat regularly, and the nutritional is also considered. Okay?"
"Yes, Doc."
"His husband must also take care of course."
Hearing that made Rico and Karen a little awkward, right now they are not even legally husband and wife.
"Ready, Doc. I will always pay attention to the mother and the baby, hehe." That was all Rico could say in the end.
After that, the doctor finished his examination. Karen got off the gurney, and then she had to wait for the doctor to give her vitamins. Today's examination went smoothly, Karen was also happy that she could see her well-developed fetus. Soon she will be a mother, Karen can't wait for that day to come.
When all is done, Rico and Karen leave the room. They're getting ready to go home. Suddenly Rico said something, "I want to take you somewhere tonight."
"Where?"
"You'll know later."
