It Turns out it was Love

Bereft

The sky walked closer to the hospital bed occupied by the Gita. Mama Gita who saw her ex-boyfriend came, immediately handed the remaining plate half of rice and side dishes into the hands of Heaven.

"Hi, how are you," she said softly.

"What a hell, how polite." Gita chuckled at the formal words Sky.

"Still sick?" ask Sky.

"Still," said the spoiled Gita. Heaven's Hand he pointed on his stomach, "I'm pregnant, Phiu," said Gita slowly. His hand moved the hand of Heaven, as if rubbing the fetus inside his stomach.

"Yes, I know," said the sad Sky.

"Phiu kok kayak ga seneng that's what it is that I'm pregnant?"

"I'm seneng. It's really grinning." The sky rubbed Gita's hair. He was still looking for the right sentence to convey to his little wife.

The sky glanced at Mama and her in-laws who were standing in the doorway. They both gave codes, if going out of the room to give space and time to both of him along with his wife.

"How does his face look like that, anyway? I'm sorry if yesterday I was angry with Phiu."

"Yes, it's nothing. I'm just tired of it." The sky sat on the side of the Gita bed.

"Phiu, why can't I go home yet?"

"Empt ..." The sky hung up his sentence, bewildered as to what to proceed.

"Excuse me." A nurse came into the room with a tray filled with a glass of water and a capsule, "It's a drink."

"What medicine is this, sus?" ask Gita.

"This is a decoction, taken now so that tomorrow morning the cure is more smoothly," explained the female nurse.

"Early? the curettation? what does that mean, Sus?" ask Gita not understand. He had heard the term but was a little foreign to his ears.

"Not delivered?" the nurse asked the sky in a soft voice.

"Empi." The sky rubbed Gita's hair. His wife's face was still implied confusion, "I've met the Doctor, he said earlier .. Our baby candidate can not grow well." The sky said very slowly.

"What does it mean to not grow well, Phiu? it was not born."

"He's in your belly, his small size doesn't add up. So it has to be removed so you don't keep in pain."

"I mean ... dead?" gita asked in a stifled voice.

"Died, Empi."

Gita rubbed her stomach slowly. His face was instantly grim, "This must be because I stopped him huh?" Gita's tears slowly trickled down. His hands still continued to rub his flat stomach.

"No. Maybe because God knows we're both not ready. We are told to learn again" whispered the Sky.

"Phiu isn't ready yet?"

"I'm ready. Honestly at first I was also surprised, because I want you to get pregnant after graduating SMU first, but I also like that someone will be present here," said Sky while rubbing Gita's stomach.

"So when I signed my consent to him being taken from here .. I didn't want to." Sky's eyes began to dew, "Just now that I'm happy, he's about to leave."

"Phiu don't cry." Gita wiped the tears of her husband who had not yet fallen.

"Yes, I'm not crying. We can do it." The sky is blowing over the top of the Gita's head.

"Yes, we can." Gita nodded her head.

"It's a drink first." The sky thrust a glass of water and a capsule that was brought by the nurse.

Gita took it from the hands of the sky. Before putting the capsule into her mouth, she looked at her husband hoping for help. The sky smiled and then nodded.
