LOVE GIRL MOSQUITO REPELLENT (Holyness The Tarnished)

RANI SULKS

In the room Ob-gyn Rani lay on a bed with a monitor screen next to the headboard, the monitor is in that position so Iqbal and Rani can see clearly when the doctor does the ultrasound on the womb Rani later.

Iqbal clasped Rani's hand even though Rani refused him because he was still irritated at Iqbal, but Iqbal did not care at all about Rani's rejection. He clasped Rani's hand even tighter.

"Don't be mad, I was just kidding." Iqbal whispered into Rani's ear and then kissed her temple without caring about the doctor. Rani stopped rebelling but still gave a hostile look. The doctor just smiled looking at Iqbal's treatment.

The doctor lifted Rani's clothes and gave a gel that felt cold to the surface of Rani's stomach, when Rani's stomach responded, the baby in Rani's stomach kicked nendang making the stomach that had been distended now conical. The stomach was surging to and fro.

Iqbal who saw his little angel was moved, he was so amazed to see the movement of living beings stomach Rani.

The doctor placed the ultrasound device onto the surface of Rani's stomach, which then revealed the figure of a small creature on a monitor screen that moved actively. Iqbal's happiness is bloated when he sees a small creature that lives in Rani's stomach seen moving on the stomach of the monitor screen.

"He's our son." Iqbal said with a trembling voice his hand was still faithfully grasping Rani's hand and then rubbed Rani's hair.

Without feeling a tear dripping from the corner of Rani's eyes when she saw the happiness on Iqbal's face. Of course Iqbal is very happy, because he has not had anyone in this world since he was a dozen years old. Since the baby he was taken care of by his uncle and aunt. But he always got the bad treatment, the blow and the torture he got from his uncle. Perhaps it was from there that the hard character Iqbal formed. Because the pattern of care is very influential on the development of children's character.

"Why are you crying?..."Iqbal wiped Rani's tears.

"I'm happy to see you happy." Iqbal is happier and grateful to have a wife as good as Rani.

"Your pregnancy is 25 weeks old, the fetus weighs 660 grams with a length of about 34 cm. This weight and length will increase every week, as well as the growth and development of his organs." The doctor arrived.

"The baby is healthy, the mother is healthy. The baby's movements are very active. The gender is female." Rani clasped Iqbal's hand tightly.

"When pregnant at 25 weeks, the fetus in the womb usually has started to move very actively and can respond to sound and touch.

Fetal heart rate of 140 beats per minute."

The obstetrician printed a picture of his baby, 2 sheets because Iqbal asked for it. One for Rani and one for Iqbal. Iqbal continued to look at the picture of the baby, there was a haru feeling that was seeping in his heart.

After performing the ultrasound the doctor returned to his desk. He briefed Iqbal and Rani on how to keep her healthy.

"Take the habit of eating green vegetables, salmon, and sweet potatoes, Mam. Salmon contains omega 3 which is good for fetal health. No need to hesitate in choosing salmon, because it is included in marine fish with a low mercury content." The doctor continued to explain at length to Rani. Iqbal began recording each of his words and storing them in his brain memory.

 "What foods are good for my wife?... And what should my wife do to maintain the health of her mother and baby?..."

"Sweet potatoes contain a lot of vitamins A and C which are good for pregnant women. Nutritional needs of the mother can be met with folic acid contained in sweet potatoes. Pregnant women can consume it by boiling or mixed with clear vegetables. That's one of them."

"1. Walking Routine. It does not take too long, just 20-30 minutes in the morning and evening."

 "2. Soak in Warm Water. Soaking in warm water can reduce the stress of childbirth. Warm water effectively releases stress in the body of pregnant women."

"3. Listen music. At the age of 6 months of pregnancy, the fetus in the womb can already hear things that occur outside the stomach. Pregnant women can invite the baby in the womb to communicate. You can listen to the sound of music or sholawat to train the brain and help the baby easily learn from the womb."

"And more fully you can follow the guidelines in this pregnant book." The obstetrician gave a guide book while pregnant to Rani.

"Maybe Mrs Rani should also participate in pregnant gymnastics. I can recommend the place."

Rani walks in tandem with Iqbal, he hugs her book. So that Iqbal can't hold his hand anymore. Iqbal tries to embrace Rani's shoulder, but she immediately throws him off.

"Wait for me in the car." Iqbal hung up without waiting for Zain to answer.

Iqbal was a little surprised by the change in Rani's attitude, whereas in the Ob-gyn room when doing USG, Rani was willing to interact with Iqbal but after coming out of the room Ob-gyn Rani returned silent a thousand languages. All pregnant women also have drastically changed emotions.

"Sobbing." Iqbal's words arrived, but instead got a cynical look from Rani.

"I'm sorry, I was just kidding." Iqbal re-embraced but was soon on tepis.

"Come on Ran, stop getting angry. I was just kidding."

"I'd rather hear your scolding than your silence."

"Ran, I love you so much."Iqbal glanced at Rani but Rani remained unmoved.

"Ran, you know not why I'm likening you to a spare tire!... Because you were my greatest strength in a time when I was fragile Ran."

"I used to be equally comfortable near you and near Alyn. But back then Alyn was my lover, where I dared to hurt her to break off with her. I don't dare to find out what I really feel for you because I'm afraid to hurt Alyn. So I put up a fortress in the name of friendship."

"After your father died, I promised to take care of you. But I don't know when I started to like you, maybe because of the togetherness of the two of us, which made the feeling start to grow and develop without me knowing. I'm starting to dislike when a man comes near you, even if it's your cousin Joseph. I reasoned because they were all unworthy of you. But in reality my heart is always restless and unsettled whenever a man comes near you."

"Ran, why are you quiet?... Talk away. I'm sorry, if you don't like my jokes, I promise I won't joke around like that anymore."

"Ran, did you hear me not talking?..."

Rani did not flinch, her gaze straight ahead regardless of Iqbal's words. After entering the parking area, Rani sped up her pace. Iqbal opens the door for Rani, and she enters immediately.

"Zain take me home."

"Loh Ran, he said he wanted to come to the office."

"Zain, if you don't want to drive me home, I'll book a taxi online."

"Rani you why?...''

"Yes Zain, if you don't want to take me home I can go home alone."

"Sir how?..."

"We're going to the office."

"I'll just go home by myself."

Rani tries to open the door but Zain first locks the car door.

"Samples." Iqbal tried to calm Rani down by gently pulling Rani's hand but again Rani brushed it off.

"Rani don't be like this."
