Imitation of Two Hearts

False Contractions

“sayang.” Andre approached to hold Sarah's body into his arms.

But the hand was brushed off violently by Sarah

“don't touch me!” he said with a deadly glance at Andre and a very cold and high voice.

“sayang all not as you see!” Andre kept trying to get close to Sarah

Sarah tried to hold her breath, dampening all the emotions that had arisen in her mind and heart.

“I came here just to drop off your lunch, so. I'll go” he said without staring at Andre for a second.

Rushing Andre grabbed the body in his arms. What Susan did, she did to Sarah. Hugged the woman from behind

Sarah nodded and tried to escape.

“I don't want to be hugged by you who was another former woman” refused him to take off the rough hand of Andre that coiled on his chest.

“enjoy your lunch mas! Work, next time I won't bother you again” those cold words come out of his wife's soft lips

“sayang! I won't be able to work, we'll just go home!” he said he went to the hanger where his suit was

“i will go home alone! It's up if you want to go home or work” said Sarah moved out of Andre's office and held her stomach that felt pain.

Andre hasn't had a chance to answer, but Sarah has disappeared behind the door.

Sarah told Mr. Midun if he was heading downstairs.

Maybe this was a susan trap but still the pain was amazingly stifling her chest. He tried to hold everything, his breathing shortened and tried to resist the pressure of his eyes which were now heating up.

Holding back the crying made her even more claustrophobic. His son in the womb is like feeling the pain of the mother.

“ah..” Sarah grimaced with pain in her stomach.

Andre was waiting for the elevator like a hot worm. She was afraid Sarah would leave without explanation.

Sarah stood impatiently waiting for Midun. As he enters the car, just as Andre exits the elevator. Andre tries to chase Sarah, but the car has slid off the building.

The new car runs a few meters, sobs Sarah heard clearly from the steering chair, making the midun pack glance from the rearview mirror.

“hiks hiks” the sound of crying was as if held back, but it sounded clearly so painful.

Sarah could not hold back her tears. That trust was now fractured by a sight he could not forget.

“ahh..” the pain is back.

"sorry.. Is mom okay?" asked Mr. Midun confused to ask

“pak..we go to the hospital!” answer Sarah

“what hurts bu?” asked Mr. Midun to panic and looked at him

“send me to the hospital usually, I need check up today” he said withstanding the pain

“good bu well!” mister Midun answered, driving their car.

Sarah's ringing phone continued to be loud, incessant since she left the building where her husband worked. Eventually, he turned off the phone because he was too distracted.

Andre is getting freaked out because Sarah turned off her phone. He called home and asked the driver who drove Sarah.

Andre drove his car to their house, but when he arrived home, Andre did not find his wife there.

“mah! Where's sarah?” andre asked not to find Sarah's whereabouts

“lho.. Sarah's going to your office Ndre!” answer his mother

“so he came home mah... addduhhh.. where do you love?” moaning Andre frantically rubbed his face rough while looking at the phone he was holding

“ada what? You guys noisier?” ask Nensi suspiciously

Andre was silent, not daring to tell what had happened. Because if Nensi finds out, he will definitely get a blow from his mother.

“So Sarah went home first mah” answered awkwardly running to their room

Something must have happened! Ben Nensi looked at Andre with fused eyebrows.

Andre called Mr. Midun.

“mom in hospital sir! Earlier the mother's stomach hurt and asked to be transferred to the hospital that I usually check” explained Mr. Midun

Within a second of Andre's daze flooded in, feelings of guilt, panic and worry became one in his chest

“iya sir, now mom is still in” explained Mr. Midun who helped Sarah towards the ER room.

Andre turned off his phone running out.

“Andre!!!” call his mother to hold back his steps

“Sarah at mah hospital! Andre is there now” he said quickly leaving Nensi who is still staring to digest the information that is read as if horror will happen.

“cucuku!” he looked at Andre who had disappeared

The sound of Andre's car roar quickly came out of their yard. He spurred the pace of his car, afraid and anxious to become one. If something happened to Sarah and her son, she would never forgive him.

“sayang...” murmured through the heavy traffic that afternoon.

In the hospital

Sarah was still lying in a gurney after receiving treatment from a doctor. His eyes glared at the bright-looking sky of the room.

“ you should not be too stressed, because it will greatly affect the baby in the womb mother” the doctor's advice to him when reading Sarah's eyes are reddened and moist because of crying.

Sarah just smiled to respond and quibble if she cried because of the pain she suffered.

Sarah sighed again forgetting the embarrassing incident. He was still focused on looking at the sky until finally the eyes were closed and asleep in his own comfort.

The contractions she experienced were only false contractions, but to confirm Sarah's condition, doctors will observe her within the next two hours, given the contractions that Sarah experienced outweighed the normal false contractions as usual.

Andre's breath gasped entering the ER room, he saw clearly the middle-aged man who was driving his wife.

“where is my wife sir?” he panicked

“inside sir, was the doctor looking for father!” unambiguously

“i will see a doctor first pak” Andre left

His body gestures were clearly visible if the man was currently in a state of extreme panic, anxiety and fear. It was like a kite flying without a thread. Look around and ask where the doctor is handling the wife.

After seeing the doctor and getting an explanation, Andre closed his eyes sighing. He was now feeling calm, because the doctor explained if Sarah and her womb are now in good condition and just observe her.

Andre entered the observation room slowly. It looks like the woman he loves is closed in his heart.

“sayang.!” said Andre Lirih took the hand and grasped, showering him with a kiss.

Andre forgot everything that had just happened, now there was only calm between the two of them. A sad feeling inside, seeing the body that is now lying on its side hugging her stomach, Sarah's face looks as a sign that she cried a lot before.

Shaking Andre's cell phone disperse all his daydreams staring at the wife.

“how's Sarah?” ask Nensi

“Fake contraction mah”

“huh... thank goodness.. continue? Nginep or how?”

“more minutes we go home, Sarah is resting now” explained Andre

“ya already if so.. later in the afternoon papah come home, so mamah want to pick up at the airport, so maybe later when you go home mamah not home, no papa ‘kan?” obviously her mother will be ready to welcome her beloved husband

“iya mah, gak papa” replied Andre relieved.

He was afraid when he returned to the house Sarah immediately complained to his mother and it will make him get a new torment, yes! Nensi's punches and jewels can't be avoided when he does something wrong.

Andre sat down next to the gurney again, clasped Sarah's hand, kissed and caressed her, clasping in fear of the figure leaving again.

“hhmmmm..” murmur Sarah open slowly awakened. He felt his hand held tightly by someone.

Slowly the eyes were opened and the faint sound of affectionate calls was caught by his cloud.

“you're awake? Still sick dear?” andre asked, and their faces were so close.

The sight of the two eyes clinging to each other as the union of their hands that hold each other.

Sarah looked at him unblinkingly, the man looked anxious and messy. But still bring a smile to calm his feelings.

Slowly the corner of Sarah's lips lifted to review a smile, but the painful memory was again present until the corner of the lips was again conical accompanied by her body turned back to Andre.

“sayang..”.
