Increasingly suspicious

While my mother and I were joking, the doctor finally came and approached us.
"Where is Mom doing now?" ask Doctor.
"I'm feeling better Doc, my head isn't dizzy anymore, what's the result of Doc's checkup?" mother sahut. The doctor smiled too.
"Congratulations Ma'am, the results of her Positive Mother pregnant," said the Doctor. I was so happy to hear the good news, the Doctor continued.
"But I recommend that Mother be referred to the Hospital or Obstetrician Yes, so that Mother get further examination related to Mother's fetus, do you agree?" continue Doctor.
"Okay Doc, I'll just follow what the Doctor suggested."
"In that case, please from the family to meet the Administration first and take care of his departure for Mother,"
"Mmm... But Doc, I only have my son, my husband has gone to work out of town, does it matter if I am only accompanied by my son?"
"Oh, how old is your child?"
"19 years, Doc."
" Do you have a KTP?"
"Not yet, Doc."
"If it's another family?"
"My other family is far away Doc, I'm here wandering,"
"Then you should discuss it first with your child, after having a decision, you can tell us back."
"Good, Doc. Thank you,"
"Together Mother, then I stay first."
The doctor left us, and my mother and I began to discuss.
"Honey, who are you really here to bring Mommy, son?"
"Sama Mang Barus and Mang Nanang Bun,"
"Oh .. Where are they going now?"
"There's Bun, outside waiting for us,"
"If so Mother asks please call Mang Barus the same Mang Nanang yes Darling,"
"Yaudah Bun, Mommy wait a minute, I'm out first,"
Then I immediately rushed to call Mang Barus and Mang Nanang, it didn't take me long to get back with them.
After that Mang Barus and Mang Nanang help prepare the needs and needs of the mother according to the mother's orders, and take care of everything.
After all the preparations have been arranged and the mother has changed clothes, we went to the Obstetrics Specialist Doctor recommended by the Clinical Doctor. Including Mang Barus and Mang Nanang also came there to help the mother.
Arriving there, the mother immediately got treatment, I saw the mother was being examined by the Doctor, I could see the fetus in the abdomen through the monitor screen.
Although I do not understand but I can see the shape of my sister's prospective fetus later, after the completion of the examination, the mother was transferred to the treatment room to rest, the mother was also given a lot of medicine by the nurse.
At night we also rested after a day of taking care of the mother's treatment, Mang Barus and Mang Nanang did not stay overnight because they might feel awkward, they will return tomorrow.

The next morning, my father called my mother, I don't know what they were talking about.
At about 7:00 in the morning, I went out to buy breakfast, I walked a little distance from where my mother was treated and found a chicken porridge seller, I ordered 2 servings of chicken porridge, and I ordered 2 servings of chicken porridge, but while I was waiting for my order, I saw my father riding a motorcycle and carrying a female passenger, and he didn't see me, I can't clearly see her look because she's wearing a mask and a helmet, but it looks like she's putting her body on dad's back.
I was a little angry to see my father with a woman while she was sick and being treated, I wondered who the woman who was with him was, soon I ran towards the base of the ojek which happened to be not far from the seller of chicken porridge, not much to say I immediately asked the carpenter to follow my father, hoping I could still pursue my father.
About 15 minutes I followed my father, they stopped in front of Alfamart and went inside, I was just monitoring him from afar, after waiting I finally saw them come out with a bag of groceries and then continued the journey, I followed them again.
After walking for about 7 minutes, my father turned to a Gang road not far from my school, to get to the Gang road it is only about 10 minutes from my school when viewed from the direction of the house, if from the direction where the mother is treated, the Gang road before my school.
I followed him from far away, and then I saw my father stop at a house, and I stopped far from where they were and immediately hid in someone's house, then they entered the house and closed the door.
I intend to approach the house and hear their conversation, but mother contacted me I was forced to cancel my intention.
[Hello, Sherin, honey, where did you go? How to buy his breakfast long] asked mom.
[Halo Bun, Yes, sorry mother, this is in line Mother bought her porridge, continue I also look for food stores first, want to buy snacks so as not to get bored there, mother patient yes, mother,]I had to lie to you, because I couldn't tell you that I was following you.
[Oh... Why does it sound so quiet there? Yaudah, you hurry back, son! Be careful on the road] said the mother.
[It's a rame Mother, yes, I go home now Bun!]
My heart was pounding for fear of being discovered by my father, but I wondered why he was lying to you, and this was my chance to uncover my curiosity, but I still can't catch Dad. Yeah, well, at least I got a lead, although the truth isn't clear.
With a sense of disappointment I was forced to return, I was also worried about the mother because the mother was alone there, whether Mang Barus and Mang Nanang had come or not.
Not forgetting I stopped for a while to buy a snack and took 2 servings of chicken porridge that had been ordered earlier, then I immediately returned to the nursery room treated, and then I immediately returned to the nursery, but I see you are being helped by nurses to change clothes and clean her body.
I was waiting outside, after finishing, I went in and I put 1 serving of chicken porridge on the mother.
"Mother, I'm sorry I was out long ago? This mother ate first, yes, there was nothing when I stayed?" I said to mom. Then I opened the porridge box and gave it to my mother.
"Yes, it's okay baby, just calm down, just change clothes just as clean doang, really buy the porridge?" said mother.
"Mmm, thank God Bun if so, it is quite far if you walk. Oh yes Bun, Mang Nanang and Mang Barus have not been here yet?"
"Yaudah, you eat first gih, eat out the bath first let it be neat and fragrant, hihi. Mang Barus just as Mang Nanang was here when you left," said the mother. Emang mother can always melt the atmosphere with her jokes.
"Yes Mother, I did not take a bath also already fragrant, continue now they go where Bun?" I also returned the joke as usual.
"Hm basic! Don't know if he wants to go out first look for a warkop,"
"Non't you see me in front?"
"Maybe the direction is different times,"
We enjoyed breakfast with long chats and jokes and then I asked the mother about the father.
"Oh yes Bun, where is the real father?"
"Your father is outside the city dear, this morning is the Mother's telephone, said the father apologized can not nemenin Mother, today the new father received work at his friend's place, he said, so you can't go home yet."
Degh, the anger in my heart suddenly peaked, but I tried to hold it back.
"Oh, did you say that, Bun? Do you know that I'm going to have a sister soon?"
"Dear, I know, Mother already told your father, why did you ask the father so much, you are still upset with your father?"
"Oh, thank God Bun if you already know, mmm. still a little upset Bun, until now you never apologize to me."
"Hmm that's it, slowly you're sorry your father, son! However, it remains your father at any time, maybe the father was again khilaf at that time,"
"Yes Mother, I'll excuse you father even though the scars of father's punches have not really healed until now. But if you hurt your mother to death I will repay your actions." I'll talk release because my emotions are peaking at this time.
"Sherin, you talk about it don't be like that ah, it's not good darling if you like that, you're patient, yeah,"
"Yes Bun, I'm sorry, Mother,"
"Yaudah, next time don't like that anymore huh, now mending you take a shower first gih,"
"Yes Mother."
The conversation ended and I rushed to take a shower.
