Ninth Month

Sania Decree

🌺🌺🌺

“Iya, no, yes, no, yes, no.... argh...!” sania was frustrated. He had counted dozens of times the passing vehicle in front of him. But, still he could not make a decision even though he had convinced himself to take no as his decision. This morning was hard for him.

Sania is currently in a cafe near the police. He is waiting for a team of lawyers to visit Anton who was caught by the police yesterday. But the problem with this was not Anton's arrest, because he knew Anton could always make a loophole to be released from prison, but a fact he only knew a few hours ago.

Sania reminisced a few hours ago as the morning suddenly became engulfed with a reality never imagined before. He had trouble digesting it. How not? This morning he discovered that he was two-bodied. Yes, she is currently pregnant with Anton's child!

🌺🌺🌺

Sania looked back and forth at the thing in her hand and the mirror in front of her. His pale face looked terrifying with an expression of real shock. Because, the thing he was holding was actually two-striped.

Sania drowned in the toilet seat of her apartment. He was stunned to not believe the pregnancy test in his hands. Can't I be pregnant? His mind is full of doubt. As he remembered, he took medicine regularly. Does the contrast not work? He only remembers doctors giving him antibiotics last month.

“Ah, shit! How can I be this reckless?” sania said while holding her flat stomach. “What should I do now,” he lamented as he stomped his head in confusion.

At first, he was just doing this test. He did so because his sense of smell became very sensitive to odors, especially coffee. He did not expect the results of the test to end positively.

🌺🌺🌺

“Already,” muttered Sania while sipping the coffee she ordered. He just needs to drop it and everything will come back as usual. Anton will never know, even though he knows, Anton will definitely ask him to drop this content.

“Breaking news..!” the sound of the news on television broke Sania's daydream. He wasn't interested in hearing the latest news this morning. Because he knew the latest news this morning was about Anton's arrest. But, as soon as she heard of the continuation, Sania was made stunned in disbelief.

“Tonight, there was the abduction of the grandson of the Wibowo family. The child who had just been talked about by his parents last night during a press conference turned out to directly invite the kidnapper to his residence on east Manggis street number 17. This incident killed 6 members of the security team who stood guard at home. Here is the list of the dead. Police are still searching for the boy. For anyone who sees and knows the whereabouts of this boy, can directly contact the police or the number listed below.” The screen changed to display the profile of the missing boy and his latest photo.

Intan's son was missing during the arrest. Does this have anything to do with Anton, Sania's inner. Anton did it. Please, no. If Anton had done that, his boss would have ended up in jail.

Sania saw a lot of cars coming in front of the police. He immediately stood closer to the window to see the crowd. Could be a reporter's car, he thought. But then he saw Intan surrounded by several men entering the police station. Is his suspicion true if Anton was involved with the kidnapping? Sania immediately picked up her bag then passed to take a close look.

🌺🌺🌺

Intan squeezed his hand hard, if there was something in his hand must have been destroyed so strong grip. He could not wait for the police to call Anton in front of him. He is accompanied by Mas Eka and Rayan comes to the police station to inquire about Rudy. They believe Anton had something to do with Rudy's abduction.

As soon as Anton sat in front of him, Intan immediately threw a loud slap. The loud sound of his slap filled the silence of the room.

Rayan could not prevent his wife from doing that, even if she knew what Intan would do, she would not prevent it. Intan is currently like a mother who is angry because someone has disturbed her child. The police who had indeed been told that the guest this time was an important person, did not dare to scold Intan for slapping the prisoner. The police chose to leave and pretended not to see him.

“Hahaha..” Anton's laughter fills the room. Even though Intan slapped him, Anton did not really feel the pain as if it was just an ant biting him. Diamond's tiny hands certainly do not compare with the figure of his hard face. But...

“Duash...” boxing floated on Anton's face ending his demonic laughter. This time he actually felt pain on his face to the point that his body was strung along. Apparently Rayan had thrown a fist at him. He immediately tried to sit back but this time he preferred to sit on the floor. However it seemed that his guest this time did not let him sit quietly. Eka immediately pulled Anton back to sit in his chair.

“I wonder why the police treatment seems unfair to me. Turns out you guys did it,” Anton said starting the conversation. He looked at Rayan. Just this time he saw Rayan up close. Despite only a glance, he could immediately tell that this male figure in front of him was indeed not a figure he could easily defeat. He wondered why Mr. Wibowo did not ask this man for help from the beginning even asked for help from him.

“Restore Rudy to me,” said Intan bluntly. He doesn't want to talk anymore.

“Why did you ask me, I do not know what you mean,” Anton said while looking back at Intan.

“I can revoke all reports and make you free from this prison, as long as you want to exchange it for my son,” said Rayan.

“Why do you guys keep saying that, I have absolutely nothing to do with your Son,” Anton replied insisting.

“I started wanting to hit you again,” said Rayan impatiently.

Anton wiggled his legs with regular beats. He enjoyed this, he was happy to see the confusion and anxiety in their eyes.

“I'll make sure you rot in jail without justice if you don't tell me where my Son is,” said Rayan.

“Hey, Man! You barked at the wrong dog,” Anton said. He still doesn't want to admit it.

“Please, I will fulfill all your requests as long as you return my Son,” said Intan pleading.

“Really?” anton was a little interested. But of course it was just a joke. They may want to obey whatever they want. At the moment, he is helpless. It was easy for them to lie to him.

“How about removing the name Daisuke behind your name?” asked Rayan suddenly.

For the sake of hearing Rayan's question, Anton immediately reacted. “Sania..!” anton shouted loudly. The only one who knew about this was Sania. The only one who knew about her intention to remove her last name was Sania. Sania betrayed him.

Sania who had been hiding behind the door froze. This door was supposed to be soundproof but Sania could hear Anton's screams calling her name, her fear started to appear.

A real anger appeared on Anton's face, he looked ferocious and full of emotion. He showed a smile to the couple in front of him. He had tried various ways in order to clear the name but could not, what about these two young people. He was not sure of their abilities. But he was also a little interested in the offer. “What guarantee you guys don't lie to me?”

Apparently Sania was right, this was Anton's weakness. But they don't understand why Sania helped them and betrayed her boss instead. A while ago Sania came to them when she was about to meet Anton. Sania spoke from heart to heart with Intan, Rayan herself did not know what was on the minds of the women knew Intan said that she knew Anton's weakness. Of course Sania doesn't help them for free, Sania wants them to release Anton from prison.

“I will set you free once my Son is found. I have a house in Northland, stay there with a new identity and start a new life with your little family,” said Rayan.

“Family? I have no family,” Anton sneered.

Rayan only smiled meaningfully when she saw Anton's sneer.

“Call Sania here. I will give my decision after meeting him,” Anton finally said.

“You don't hurt him,” Intan said before they went out. But Anton just silently did not answer Intan's words, the man seemed not to want to argue anymore.

The three of them immediately came out and changed with the frightened Sania. The woman's thin body was covered in a huge robe, as if instinctively wanting to hide something from Anton.

🌺🌺🌺

Sania just looked down, she was so afraid of Anton's anger. But he was more afraid to see this man make another mistake that would put him in jail longer. He didn't want to see Anton in jail.

“Tell me why you betrayed me..!” exclamation Anton. He's so angry at the moment. But the woman in front of him seemed to ignore his anger and instead shrieked in fear.

“Say Sania,” Anton said again, he was not satisfied before Sania answered his question. “Get your hand,” the door.

Frightenedly Sania took out her hands hiding inside the robe. But Sania's fear seemed unreasonable. The man before him even grasped his hand gently. His heart ached slightly as he looked at the handcuffs that were shackling Anton's hands.

“Tell me why did you betray me?” this time Anton asked in a soft and delicate tone.

“I don't want to see you make a mistake again and end up in jail,” Sania replied.

Anton sighed. Why women are so vulnerable just pity.

“If you are dealing with her parents, do not hurt her child,” Sania said. He slightly stroked his flat stomach, he also did not want anyone to hurt his son later.

Suddenly Anton pulls Sania's hand hard. Sania screamed in pain. He muttered inwardly, why is the man in front of him so elusive. His personality changes with an attitude that confuses him. Just a few seconds ago this man treated her gently.

“You're pregnant,” says Anton. His eyes were fixed on Sania.

Sania has no power to respond to Anton's words. But without needing to answer even the surprised hue on his face had already explained everything. It was like an open book. All the emotions were plastered on his face at this moment. How did Anton know? Inner wonders. He hasn't told anyone yet.

“A... I will abort it,” Sania said hurriedly. If he can choose, he wants Anton jailed for a long time until he gives birth to his baby. But now that Anton knows about her pregnancy, it seems like it's not possible anymore.

“Who said you can abort my Son,” Anton said.

Sania was so stunned by Anton's response. Anton really wants him to raise this baby. “Really?" ask Sania not to believe it.

“Ya, take good care of him,” Anton said.

“Why? Shouldn't we raise this child together?” sania asked not understanding. “They promised to release you from prison, erase your last name, also give you a new life, then why? What's the problem?”

“Current problem, I don't know where their son is.”

“Isn't the kidnapping on your orders?” sania asked, not understanding Anton's way of thinking.

“Maybe initially, but when the man only brought a boy, I think this is already out of scenario,” continued Anton. “Please call them here! Although not sure. Looks like I know something.”

The three of them who were monitoring the conversation from the room at the side hurriedly came to the room where Anton was being interrogated.

“I have to tell you the truth that at the moment I don't know where your Son is. But maybe I can give you a hint,” Anton said. He did not want the family in front of him to expect too much from him.

“Whatever it is, you can say it,” said Eka. The leader of Rudy's search team is himself. No matter how small the information is, he still needs it.

“Your son may be on his way to Borneo Island, by sea.”

“Borneo? Why is it that far they took him?” tanya Intan was overwhelmed with anxiety. His son never traveled by sea. What if he gets seasick and his health deteriorates?

“Quiet, Intan. The plot will not escape. We will catch him,” Eka said.

“Wrong! Not a plot, but one, only one,” Anton confirmed.

“Only a?” rayan asked in surprise. He did not expect anyone to be so cruel as to kill so many people.

"You don't have to bother arresting him because the man can't be arrested,” Anton said. “Enough for a massive search, maybe he will leave your Son alone to escape and your Son will be safe. You still have time because right now they must still be in the ocean.”

“How can we trust you?” ask Rayan.

“If you don't trust me, who will you trust?” anton sarcasm said.

“As per the agreement, we will release you if my Son is found,” said Rayan. This information is important, but he is not yet sure of the truth. Anton could have lied to them and instead given the kidnapper a chance to escape.

Anton just shrugged, he told me what he knew. He won't divulge Ze's identity, because to himself. He also fears Ze's vengeance on him. Yeah, that's how scary Ze is.

After Intan and the two men came out of the room. Anton asks Sania for a little time to talk.

“Are you really going to abort it if I don't know about your pregnancy?” ask Anton.

Sania shakes. “I'll raise him secretly while you're still in jail. But I don't want you in jail either. To be honest your answer surprised me a little, I thought you didn't want this baby.”

“Although I don't know how to raise a child, but I want it.”

“You can definitely be a good Papa,” Sania said.

“If Intan's son is not found and I am still in prison, I hope you can tell this child that I want him,” Anton's pinta. His childhood was full of bad memories. He did not want his son to experience the same. Although she does not know how Sania can get pregnant, even though the girl takes her medicine regularly. But he won't question it, all he has to do is trust it. This boy must have been sent by God to stop his bad behavior.

“Come,” the door. He then raised the girl in his lap with difficulty because of the handcuffs he wore. “For you and this baby well, I have not been able to take care of you and this child. Stay healthy.”

Sania nods and hugs Anton back, inexplicably Anton is not like the usual Anton. Anton kissed her for a moment before leaving her. May it be just her feelings, inner Sania.
