"How are you?" asked Sumi while tightly grasping her daughter's hand.
Shahnaz lay her head on the bed, while her gaze pointed at the wrinkled face of the mother before her.
"I'm fine, ma'am," she replied.
"What is your relationship with Aditya? You never came here."
Syahnaz was silent for a moment. There was nothing she could say about her relationship with Aditya. He also did not know because Jendra forbade him to go carelessly without an escort.
"He's busy, Mom," said Syahnaz.
"Any busy thing should still be able to take the time to visit mom. Aditya is weird, good just before you guys get married" Sumi grumbled.
In the past, Aditya was indeed a dream memantu for Sumi. The young man who is diligent and kind enough to pay for his daughter's college. So he was happy when Aditya intended to marry Shahnaz.
"Oh, yes. She said you could go home, right?" tanya Shahnaz diverted the conversation.
His mother has been treated there for a long time and his condition is getting better. He was very grateful to Jendra who had borne all the financing of his mother while there even without reducing the payment ration.
"The doctor said wait for the next three days. If it's stable, I can go home."
Syahnaz breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank God, I'm so glad you're healthy again" she said, kissing her hand.
Tok tok tok tok
The door of the room is knocked. Two janitors went inside.
"Excuse me, Mother. We want to clean this room first, "permit one of them.
Sumi and Shahnaz let them in. The two janitors split the task of cleaning the bathroom and the treatment room.
"Mom, after this I go home, yeah. It was late afternoon" said Syahnaz.
"Yes, gohome. Greetings to Aditya later."
Syahnaz just nodded at his mother's request.
"If you can come by for a while to the house, yeah! Have people clean it up, so that later if mom comes home can be occupied immediately."
Syahnaz forgot that he still had a home. Since his mother was in the hospital and he lived in Jendra's house, he never visited her. To his mother's knowledge, he stayed at Aditya's house after marriage.
"Yes, Mom. I'll stop by there."
Brak!
"Okay, sorry!" pinta was one of the janitors who accidentally dropped a bag belonging to Syahnaz on the floor while he was cleaning. The contents of the bag come out because the bag is in open condition.
The janitor rushed to pick up the scattered objects, there was powder, lipstick, and a wallet. Thankfully nothing broke.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it" said the janitor with a frightened and anxious face. He handed the bag back to Shahnaz.
"Yes, it's okay" said Shahnaz casually.
"Ah, wait! Looks like someone's missing!" said the janitor. He crouched down and took something from under the treatment bed.
The janitor looked at the bottle with the capsule inside. He seemed to wonder what kind of medicine was inside.
"That's mine," said Shahnaz because the man who took the medicine was like he was researching his possessions.
"Ah, yes, this!" said the maid immediately handed it back to Shahnaz.
"If you can tell, how many Mba's children are there?" ask the janitor suddenly.
Shahnaz frowned. "Kids? I don't have children yet" he murmured in surprise.
"Yes, my daughter doesn't have any children yet. She's only been married for a few months" Sumi added.
"Oh, so, yes, ma'am. Maybe your daughter wants to enjoy the newlywed period huh, so decide to put off having a child first."
Sumi and Shahnaz were both shocked and astonished to hear it. They look at each other.
"Shahnaz, are you right to delay pregnancy with Aditya?" ask Sumi curiously. She was eager to ask if her daughter was pregnant or not.
"No, ma'am," said Syahnaz.
Syahnaz confused himself. She even really hopes to get pregnant with Jendra so she can get away from the man. The drug that he always drank was also intended for his fertility to get pregnant quickly.
"But, the drug is useful for delaying pregnancy. You could say it was a top quality K B pill that could even stop hai d without making fat. Or maybe it's someone else's, huh?" said the janitor.
Seeing the response of his interlocutor as confused, he became clumsy and afraid of mispronunciation. It seems that his words made the situation there become a runyam.
Syahnaz was stunned for a moment to hear the man's words. It felt like he did not believe it, especially Jendra clearly said it was for his fertility. Jendra paid him to have children. There is no way Jendra just intends to make her unable to get pregnant.
"Shahnaz ..." call Sumi.
"Ah, yes, Mom! This medicine was taken by my friend, her child was three, so she wanted to delay so that she would not get pregnant again" Syahnaz said.
"Oh, so. I thought you were delaying the pregnancy. Do not do that, fear later you even become difficult to get pregnant. Have a child first one, then you can use such drugs," Sumi advised.
"Yes, Mommy. I'm gonna do it. Don't worry" Syahnaz said, trying to calm his mother.
"Mother is also old, mother needs grandchildren" Sumi said.
Syahnaz just smiled. "I'll go home first, Mom. Later if there's news from the doctor I'm here again" he said.
"Be careful on the road, son."
Syahnaz walked out of his mother's care room. Now in his mind was filled with question marks due to the words of the hospital employee.
Syahnaz took out a bottle of medicine given by Jendra. There were still some capsules he had not taken inside. He did not want to believe, but in fact he had never menstruated since taking the drug. The body is also not stretch like most people who consume the Pill K B.
He ventured to take the drug to a pharmacy at a local hospital. Near him one of the officers who looks not busy in front of the pharmacy.
"Excuse me, can I ask you a second?" greet Shahnaz politely.
The female employee extended her friendly smile. "Well, can I help you?" tanyakanya.
"If you may know, what is this medicine for, huh?" asked Syahnaz while showing the bottle of medicine he was carrying.
The pharmacy department officer observed the drug that Syahnas meant. "Oh, this is a drug to delay pregnancy, but it must be by prescription," he said.
Syahnaz was stunned for a moment. "So, this drug can't be obtained freely, huh?" tanyanya.
"Can't, Mother. There should be a letter from the doctor if you want to get it. And every doctor does not necessarily recommend the drug to his patients. The price is quite expensive, but proven effective to delay pregnancy.
Syahnaz just nodded. His body felt instantly limp. "Then, thanks for the explanation. Excuse me first," he said.
"Oh, yes. Glad to help you."
Syahnaz walked out of the hospital. He no longer knew how to behave. It was unbelievable for Jendra to do such a thing to him. He could not read what Jendra's true purpose was.
