Let Me Choose

Intan's Arrival

That morning Retno was lazy in her room looks from the romance of her face has begun to change a little, her activities began to get a little accustomed again.

Until noon only struggled with his laptop, book and mobile phone, somehow so wanted to open e-mail every day even though his heart was so reluctant to reply.

Retno overslept in front of the laptop when Intan came to visit her place on purpose. Intan did not dare to wake his sister-in-law because it looked so delicious and sleepy.

Intan looked at her sleeping brother-in-law with her hands stacked together. A messy book and a surviving laptop nearby.

Intan stood at the door of the room that opened while glancing at the clock on his wrist why Kak Retno sleep even though this is still under 12 noon which should be drowsiness that comes after 12 noon to ashar time.

Intan's movements did not stop, making Retno wake up, with red eyes still a little sleepy immediately greeted Intan enthusiastically.

"Astagfirulah...Intan? been here long? comein! yes ampuuuun.kok I got to sleep like this."

"It's okay, Ma'am, just relax I'm not an important person I just play here by chance on my campus again loose."

"Sorry Intan I from the morning have not taken a lazy shower, because there is no plan to leave the house so relax, I again began to open-open my thesis, and began to tick."

"No, my mother also if at the boarding house again there is no way or again at home lazy-washing bath at will, Ms Retno healthy?"

"Seehati Intan, Alhamdulillah. Just that waking up the head feels really heavy, either because of lack of sleep somehow, but after carrying the activity back to normal just maybe lately I lack appetite so the innate lemes only."

"Built just relax Ma'am, now have eaten yet? let me buy you."

"Waduh, instead of the natives who suguhi and haggling guests, this is even a bargaining guest."

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet so all I'm looking for, Ma'am Retno want to eat what?"

"What's good? it looks like a spicy, asem, sweet."

"That's rujak! we're looking for food, I want a hot spicy soto, Mommy, won't we?"

"May, but Rujak bought it too?"

"Yes, I'm afraid Mbak cravings again heeee. I'm looking up to campus if there's no one here."

The deg! Ngever? a word that Retno had never thought of was not even a little insipid in her heart for now, but think about her and her husband after having a husband-and-wife relationship for almost a month even less than a few days, from the beginning of their first night and the third night.

"Yes already, Ma'am bath first I will come we eat." Intan's voice saying forward not in his mouth was also not answered.

Retno was busy counting the last day she got a monthly guest before marriage, the few days she was menstruating, remember the date and the day of her wedding was two days to exactly forward, forward, he should have gotten his period by now. Abaghfirullahaladzim apos... God, don't I really get pregnant?

Changes are a lot in the sense of Retno lately, tired, tired, lethargic, and a lot of dizziness in his head let alone wake up.

Throughout the bath Retno kept thinking, could she be pregnant? why not? the name is related must be pregnant as a result. Should I be happy or sad about accepting a pregnancy in this complicated situation? it is not easy to feel ready with all the possibilities that will happen.

All righty! I am positive in thinking. Hamil ya Alhamdulilah gift immeasurable, although in the middle of the atmosphere of household shock that is not necessarily what the direction in front of him.

Out of the bathroom Retno looked at the calendar, matching and convincing the date of her wedding and the date of her last menstrual day. It should be that today is she has finished her period, but this may also not be a pregnancy just shifted date as well it is still possible this is not a pregnancy.

Retno rubbed her lament, there was a smile on her lips, had there been a husband and she knew her present state was immeasurable perhaps enthusiastic and her reaction would have been what?

Quickly Retno changed her mind, and changed clothes to hunt Intan home again, she was not dressed.

Not mind all Intan talk even though only a joke even though only joking make his mind divided and talk if and how.

But for Retno whatever happens will not change everything automatically he will still focus on the task finally completed, and declared graduation. I will just think again later what should be done to find work again or go home to Pekalongan, as said by chief sister Harni, do not have many plans to go one-on-one until it is completed then we step again, because if too many plans will seize our thoughts and attention is indeed true.

If I were pregnant, I don't know what

and what I will live it will certainly be lived there or no Mas Prabu as my husband.

Intan came to park his bike in the yard, coming in with food.

They began to open the food one by one, but Retno was more interested in a transparent rectangular container containing fruits that are cut into pieces and there sambelna that is rujak, it seems so interesting.

"Intan, I had breakfast a lot so now it doesn't seem very hungry if I have to eat, I eat rujak aja ya you eat me temenin while eating rujak huh?" Retno lied a little just to not let Intan look at her in surprise.

"Yes already." Intan answered lightly.

Intan knows very well the problems that are facing his brother and sister-in-law, from the beginning also Intan had thought it would be like this if Mbak Retno knew.

Although they want to reconcile the two and become their bridge to be together again, but Intan knows and is self-aware that he is only as a sister who if he starts the conversation is afraid of being appointed as well as Retno because he is considered a conspicuous secret before their marriage.

And Intan chose the path of not being ordinary, trying to be neutral not to defend his brother or defend Mbak Retno as a woman, as a woman, Intan runs what her lover dr. Prabu directs to consider Retno as his best friend and remain as his sister-in-law.

If Retno starts talking about her sister be a good listener, otherwise it's just as usual to know, but not know. Just follow the flow, good as it is.

"Sir, she said a few days ago to Mom's house said Rahma."

"Yes, miss your family." Retno looks so delicious to enjoy a fairly spicy and sweet asem.

"Bak so quit work?"

"Yes, if you still work can not focus on the final task, not whether one day can work again, also there is a responsibility now a husband."

Retno spoke as if without burden, Intan knew the speech was not sincere but that was the choice.

"How are you doing everything?"

"Surf Mbak"

"Dr Imam likes apples?"

"Sometimes, but I don't demand that, I'm aware that he has a profession and needs people."

"I'm also self-conscious, even in every way. I'm not a perfect person, but I'm trying to perfect each other."

Intan stopped eating and drinking, while not saying anything, only listening to Retno who began to open her heart to the problem.
