Marry Me, Mr. Lecturer

Plan

Their hugs were both automatically released when the room door was knocked, "Rel, it's Mama."

"Just in, Ma," Farel said as she opened the door for her mother, while Niki sat on the edge of the bed trying to be normal after being tossed high by her husband.

"Sorry Mama's interrupting." Mama's face looked tired and haggard. She went in and sat down on the dresser after being opened by her son.

"About Marisa?" guess Farel.

"He was just sleeping" said Mama briefly as she stared at the floor.

"So I went to Galih's office, but I haven't had a satisfactory result." Farel sighed, and so did his mother. Niki just looked at the two of them in turn, "She said that I should be responsible because Marisa while pregnant is still officially recorded as my wife."

Farel held Niki's hand when he saw the girl was uncomfortable with what she said. Without making any words with an eye gesture, he told his wife not to worry, everything would be fine.

"Ma, how old is Marisa?" farel asked with Niki's hand.

"Whatever you know, while living here you've never seen her check."

"Then, tomorrow we'll get him checked out. You come, yes" Pinta Farel on Niki gently.

He did not want the romance last night to be broken because of unnecessary misunderstandings. He asserted in his mind, Marisa's problems are not part of his life. But his concern as a fellow human being, then he must help him.

The next morning the three of them were ready to accompany Marisa to check her content. Farel's ex-wife sat facing the dining table blankly. Beside him, Mama with a spoon in hand seemed to persuade him to open his mouth.

"Why, Ma?" farel asked with a slight whisper.

"From last night you didn't want to eat."

Farel looked at Marisa sadly, his ex-wife looked increasingly thin and unkempt. On the one hand he felt sorry for Marisa who was like an undead, but on the other hand he did not want his little wife to think badly if he cared too much about Marisa.

As if knowing what was in Farel's head, Niki approached her in-laws and took over the spoon and plate from Mama Farel's hand, "I tried yes, Ma."

Before he thrust out a spoonful of rice, Niki rubbed Marisa's hand gently. Sensing that there was another figure nearby, Marisa opened her eyes and turned towards Niki.

"Why don't you want to eat? If you limp gini, then I have no opponent to jutekin."

Marisa raised her lips slightly. He had no energy to answer let alone argue with Niki. His mind was filled with Galih. Marisa pulls Niki's hand and puts it on her stomach.

"Help me" said Marisa.

"How can I help you if Mba Marisa doesn't want to eat?" Niki put on a fierce face and then pointed the spoon into Marisa's mouth. As soon as Marisa opens her mouth and takes a bribe from Niki, Mama and Farel can smile in relief.

Along the way to the obstetrician, although the atmosphere is made as cheerful as possible Marisa is not at all affected. He just stared at the glass at the side and occasionally glanced at the screen of his phone.

Arriving at the obstetrician, no wait long Marisa has been allowed to enter with accompanied by everyone who drove her.

"With Ms. Marisa Pratiwi yes, I'm sorry is that right?" The obstetrician looked towards Farel and Niki who were standing behind Marisa.

"I'm her brother and this is my wife, sorry we came in because my sister was a little bit less well, worried my parents were confused by what the doctor said because they were elderly," farel said he gave an excuse. Marisa's head bowed even deeper as Farel introduced her as a younger sister.

The obstetrician looked towards Marisa who had since entered just remained silent and lowered her head. Her appearance is not like pregnant women in general, finally the doctor allowed Farel and Niki to remain in the room.

"Okay, I'll check it out." The doctor directed Marisa towards the bed of the patient assisted by Mama Farel.

"Fetus healthy yes, age approximately 20 weeks," explained the Doctor while moving the ultrasound device in Marisa's stomach.

"Thank God you're healthy" Mama said, helping her ex-daughter-in-law get out of bed.

"I give vitamins to mom and baby. Mothers should eat a lot and be nutritious, because the baby's weight is still very less."

"Sorry, 20-week doc means about five months huh?" sela Farel's.

"true."

"If for fetal DNA testing what can it be?" ask Farel carefully. The doctor looked stunned for a while then looked back at Marisa. Inside his head flashed many guesses about the condition of the woman before him.

"The age of the fetus is safe to take DNA samples is 12 weeks it means Marisa's mother can undergo the process of checking the baby's fetal DNA."

"Faithin' right, Doc?"

"All medical measures are at risk, sir. You could have a miscarriage" the doctor said very carefully.

"What conditions and when can I do the test?" It was not Farel who asked but Marisa. He who had been impressed since not caring about the results of the examination, suddenly lifted his head and looked at the Doctor tensely.

"The condition of the mother must be in good health, complete the administrative process and willing to follow the entire series of sampling procedures performed by the doctor or the intended hospital. And most importantly ready physical samples in the form of strands of hair or nail pieces from parents of prospective babies," said the doctor.

"I'm ready." Marisa nodded in understanding.

"You sure?" ask Mom after they are in the car.

"At least I should try."

"But where do we get the hair or the cut of Galih's nails?"

"I will ask for it" said Marisa firmly.

"How can you ask for that? He will definitely not give it to you, just meet him he does not allow it" said Farel from the front bench.

"I heard you had a chance to meet Galih in his office? I heard you talking in the room." Marisa looked at the other three people who were looking at each other.

"Yes" said Farel briefly.

"Guide me there."

"It won't work, I tried."

"We try again." Marisa insists. Farel glanced at Niki who was sitting by his side. As soon as his wife nodded her head, she accepted Marisa's request.

As per Marisa's request, Farel found out when Galih's in-laws came to the office. As soon as he got the information, Farel immediately took Marisa to Galih's office. He deliberately forbade his little wife to come along, because he did not want Niki to get too into the complicated Marisa problem.

"Sorry, sir you're not welcome here, please go home." Office security officers confronted him and Marisa before they set foot in the office lobby.

Farel circulated his gaze trying to find help as early as he came here, but unfortunately that morning the atmosphere of the Galih office building yard was very quiet.

"Galiiiihh! Get out you coward!" Farel flinched as Marisa took off her shoes and threw them at the glass door.
