This is the 10th week of her gestational age. Nausea, pain in the waist more often, until he today went to the doctor to check the contents.
The state of Immanuel that suddenly disappeared? It turned into a favorable situation for him. Her fiancee Phonecell who was left in the car found her hire.
He took several photos of Barbara, sending her using Barbara's phonecell on Immanuel's phonecell, as if Immanuel was in a relationship with Barbara. A photo without a thread attached to the woman's body. And lastly a message that they plan to escape together.
Smart, really smart, a few minutes ago Pramana called her, there was a panic from there. Perhaps Immanuel and Barbara's car has been found outside the city, with Immanuel's phonecell containing friendly chatt and Barbara's photo.
He just smiled, trying to sound anxious not knowing anything. Pretending not to know about the suspicions of Immanuel's affair who ran away somewhere with Barbara.
Stepping quietly towards the examination room. When the ultrasound is done, the doctor's face looks anxious. Then he sat staring at the woman in front of him. This is the assumption, hopefully not, but most likely yes.
"How is my son?" nadila looked calm.
The doctor took a deep breath."Late developing fetus, I suspect wine pregnancy. The placenta is growing but thickened, the fetus is not yet visible."
"Pregnant wine?" ask a woman who doesn't understand. He was getting anxious at this moment, but still trying to smile.
"Unnormal ari-ari formation during pregnancy. But this is just my guess, we'd better do a blood test for certainty." Answer from the doctor.
Nadila fell silent, stroking her flat stomach slowly."Find a way to save her, I'll pay anything,"
The doctor was silent for a moment, taking off his glasses."This pregnancy can occur if the sperm* fertilizes an empty egg or one egg is fertilized by two sperm*. If an empty egg is fertilized sperm* is often called a complete grape pregnancy in the sense that there is no embryo at all. In this case you are experiencing a complete wine pregnancy. There's no embryo, but then again to make sure we have a blood test."
"So there's no fetus?" ask Nadila.
"Calm down, we haven't had a blood test. Maybe I was wrong when I did the USG." The doctor replied carefully.
"If I have a wine pregnancy, what happens? Her name is pregnant, right? If you are pregnant, there should be a child born, right? I said I'd pay you to save this kid," he stared intently.
"If you really experience wine pregnancy, there is no way other than curettage," the answer from the doctor made Nadila pause for a moment. His face looked calm, though he was thinking about his next move.
"After the examination I want to have a private talk with the doctor." Nadila kept smiling.
*
Some time later, the doctor breathed a rough sigh. Looking at the results of the blood test, right as he expected, this woman was having a wine pregnancy.
"What pregnant wine?" nadila asked, answered with a nod by the doctor. Maybe this is sad news, wanting to keep the hearts of his patients who might be shaken.
But no, the woman still looks calm."Could you help me, keep it a secret I have a wine pregnancy, if the best curettage, then I will do. But no medical data at all, every month I will come as if checking the content on you. Only until the fourth month, after that I will come back and pretend to miscarry. This is for humanity, I just want the man who impregnated me to be responsible. Only until the wedding. Please there will be a reward for you" he asked with tears flowing.
The doctor again breathed. Does this violate the professional code of conduct? But he still is pity. Data on unmarried patients. The doctor nodded, perhaps persuaded.
Until the woman took the ATM card out of her bag."This is just for my gratitude. And here's the pin number." The words from Nadila gave the newly written paper to him with a pen.
The woman who was silent for a moment. Maybe the child is not supposed to exist, will only make a distance between himself and Raka after marriage. Pretending to miscarry is, indeed, better, a manipulative trait she has had than ever.

In the middle of nowhere, two people stared at each other. A really upset woman, I feel."He's not your father,"
"Father," the child clutched tightly to Immanuel, so as not to escape at all.
"Egie, Papa Elie his name is Rian, he's no longer in the house of God. God loved Papa Elie, so he took her to sleep there. He's not Papa Elie" Reina smiled, not so hard this time. Trying to grab his son slowly.
"Your mother is lying, she's mad at papa," Imanuel's booze.
Reina took a deep breath, then exhaled it."What exactly do you want? Why lie to a child?"
"Where to stay, I want to rent a place to stay. But not officially, I'll pay you." Imanuel said, issuing a 100-dollar bill.
Reina gulped her saliva, trying to search the internet about foreign exchange rates."One and a half million..."
Buying diapers, buying diabetic milk for her in-laws, not needing to eat tofu tonight, being able to buy new clothes for her son was all thought of by her. About the way the money goes.
His hands trembled wanting to grab, materialistic was indeed a natural trait to survive. The instinct to make his son and in-laws survive is in if his heroism.
"It's a contract for how many months?" tanyanya doubt.
"One month" answered Immanuel.
Hus!
Money quickly disappeared from his hands. Maybe if in a big city it was a small amount of money to contract. But not with on the outskirts of the city, arguably approaching the village area. The amount of money is already large enough for the rental price of a room.
"Let's go to my house! If anyone asks, say you're the sister of my husband who went to Sulawesi!" warning from.
The young man who shook his head in astonishment, slowly led Elie to walk.
"What does your mother like?" ask Immanuel.
"Money," the frank reply of the son held tightly to Emmanuel's hand, still thinking that Immanuel was his father who had not come home from the sea.
*
The simple house is the legacy of Reina's late parents. There only lived in-laws who suffered from diabetes, since expelled his youngest child who lived in Sulawesi because it was considered benign, the in-laws lived with Reina and Rian.
However, Rian's lifespan was not long, only the marriage lasted for two years, the young man was facing the Powerful One. Now the middle-aged woman only has Reina, a daughter-in-law who thinks of her as her own mother.
Indeed, the in-laws pity his son-in-law. The ones that have to work hard become the backbone of the family. Even when he came home from work, the son-in-law made a gelatin, placed in the refrigerator, placed in the shop every morning.
Not taking care of herself after Rian's death, that's what Reina did. Prefer to see the smile of his family members who live only two people.
Lastri (old Reina) is now sweeping in the yard when the daughter-in-law who is on holiday today comes with a surprise. The middle-aged woman rounded her eyes, looking at a man who had come with her son-in-law.
"Mother.." he said smiling wily.
"In..who is he?" ask Pastri scared. Afraid that his son would be replaced, but at the same time pitying his son-in-law. Between willing and unwilling.
"He wanted to rent a room, he had enough money to rent one and a half million per month. But he doesn't have a ID because he just got robbed. If anyone asks, just tell him he's Rian's sister. It's worth a million and a half" whispered Reina.
Lastri suddenly smiled towards Immanuel."Come in and let me make some tea. But remember there is an absolute rule in this house, not to be close to your daughter-in-law," he said.
"He's not my taste. Anyway my future wife in town is pregnant," Imanuel tried to smile, quite upset. Nadila and her son were waiting at home. He must immediately catch the perpetrator who allows big is Raka, to protect himself and his son later.
"Just in case! Who knows if you're a khilaf!" lastri.
"The Khilaf must also be picky," the inner Immanuel.
