Miss Ela found Intan's room locked. Ms. Ela had knocked repeatedly but there was no answer. His old face was filled with anxiety.
From a distance Alan saw Miss Ela knocking on the door of the guest room that was occupied by Intan last night, but the door did not open. Alan took the initiative there to see.
"What's wrong Miss Ela?" ask Alan.
"Here son, why is there no truth from within."
Alan tried to knock the door harder.
"Are we open, Mom? the key to his room is in my case."
"Yes, son Alan. Please, yeah."
Alan rushed to his room not far away. He snatched the room key he hadn't returned last night.
As soon as the door opened, Alan and Ela did not find Intan in her bed. The bathroom door opened and Alan hurried to look at the bathroom. It turned out that Intan was already drowning on the floor. There was the rest of the vomit scattered beside him. His condition was chaotic because he must have vomited a lot, his hair was chaotic in disarray.
"Intan." cried Ms. Ela as she approached.
They know each other, Alan's mind is a little confused. However, the postponement of curiosity was because Intan's condition was quite alarming. Fortunately, his condition was conscious.
"We'll just take it to the hospital, ma'am," Alan suggested, addressing Intan. Symptoms of vomiting in the morning. Alan concluded himself, could Intan is experiencing morning sickness. There is a sense of disappointment in Alan seeing the conclusion that because if what is concluded is true, it means the opportunity to get Intan is zero.
"Mom Ela, don't tell Mas Eka I'm here. Don't tell anyone. I beg!" intan said in a weak voice before falling unconscious.

When Intan is conscious. He's been referred to the obstetrician. Actually, Alan has no right to take the examination, but without knowing Intan, he confessed to her husband. So this is where they looked at the USG screen showing two fetal pockets side by side. They look cute. Dr. Budi, SpOG, the doctor who examined Intan, also heard the sound of his heartbeat. Alan amazement. Recently Alan saw and heard firsthand how the shape of the fetus on the USG screen was also the sound of his heartbeat.
"Congratulations Sir, Ma. The baby's twins."
Alan looked at the Intan who was engulfed in happiness. Tears bathed his eyes. Alan wasn't sure what tears were? could it be tears of happiness, tears of sadness or both.
"Mk 11 weeks. All healthy. But I need to get more nutrition. Because I see my mother is so skinny. Noticed, yes, the future father is, Mother cravings what followed let her eat a lot. And the restrictions like durian, pineapple, young papaya that I have prepared in the list to avoid, " said Dr. Budi while looking at Alan.
Alan can only goosebumps without rectifying the misconception that Alan is not the father of his baby.
"Twin pregnancy is risky. But it can be seen here Mother Diamond is different pregnancy placenta so can be made sure non-identical, the baby can be different sex, or can be the same sex just the face may not look alike. Because of the different placenta of the baby, the pregnancy of Mother Diamond will avoid twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, oxygen intake and food do not share the risk of the baby born with a different weight can be minimized," doctor's light is long.
"For the case of Mother Diamond who nausea severe vomiting, this is due to HCG Hormone in pregnant women twins is higher, so the effects of nausea are also more severe. Like nausea Mother pregnant baby one, but when the baby twins, nausea so double. Hyperemesis. So Ibu Intan stay away from things that create stress, yes. Please this father later his wife guarded, if made stress, do not work heavy, must be enough rest and take vitamins regularly. Do not forget to control the doctor periodically to minimize the risk."
Intan and Alan were only of the view when doctors called them husband and wife. Intan also did not rectify when spelled husband and wife.

"Sorry," Intan said on his way back to the parlor.
"For what?" alan pretended not to know.
"I'm sorry for bothering you today."
"What's wrong, just say thank you. No need to apologize."
"Yes thank you."
"Together"
"Also I'm sorry I didn't do it when the doctor told me Mr. Alan my husband."
"Ah, I'm really hurt, a virgin like me was thought to be an irresponsible husband until his wife collapsed from hyperemesis."
"I'm sorry Mr. Alan."
"Sure, but instead I want to ask a question and have to answer honestly. By the way where is this baby's father?"
"If you object, don't answer why I'll change the other question" Alan said wrongly.
"We're divorced."
"Divorce?" alan asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Did your ex-husband know you were pregnant?"
Intan shook his head, "he'll never know."
"Why so, did you guys have a big fight during the divorce."
"He divorced me unilaterally. I'm sure he doesn't want to know what's happening to me anymore."
"I'm sure it would be different if she knew you were pregnant with her child."
"Can we discuss something else Mr. Alan. I'm not in the mood to talk about that. It's stressful for me. Remember the doctor said not to stress."
"Well, by the way there's no need to be too formal. Just call Alan. I'm still young enough to call you Father" Alan said, winking one eye.
Intan just laughed. Next to his burly body was Alan a humorous figure.

This time Intan has to deal with Bu Ela, the head of this orphanage. He also took care of Mas Eka like his own child, so Mas Eka is very attached to this place. This place is like a hometown for Mas Eka.
Intan was already in Bu Ela's office, the aging face of Bu Ela looked at Intan with a feeling of love. Intan feels guilty for asking Bu Ela to hide this matter from her sister, Intan knows Bu Ela and Mas Eka are very close.
"What happened to Nak Rayan and Nak Intan until Nak Intan had to be here, while I can't tell Mas Eka."
Miss Ela knows the story about Rayan. He also knew about his marriage to Rayan, only that he had never met her.
"We're divorced, ma'am," replied Intan honestly. There's no point in hiding it. To be able to receive Bu Ela's protection, Intan must tell her what it is.
Intan then tells his life story in detail. It felt like it was only yesterday, but the difference this time, Intan told it without crying. Intan has been able to accept having to raise her twins alone.
Ms. Ela listened carefully while holding onto Intan's hand with her fingers that were beginning to wrinkle. He tried to transfer power to the girl. Trial comes to whomever God wills, just to see the girl as well as Intan is hurt, making Miss Ela also shed tears.
"Did Nak Rayan know about Nak Intan's pregnancy?" ask Miss Ela carefully.
Intan shook
"Maybe the end result will be different if Nak Rayan knows of your pregnancy."
"Mas Rayan might just want her son instead of me, Mom. And I don't want my son taken away from me" Intan said.
"Don't you understand it, but why should you hide it from Nak Eka?"
"If Mas Eka knew, Papa would know. I want to be here, Mom, spending my pregnancy with someone I know. If they know I'm here, I'd better move now" Intan threatened.
Miss Ela was stunned. Honestly he wanted to tell Eka, but if you had to take off Intan Bu Ela could not. It's bad if Intan has to leave when she's pregnant. Eka must have understood his decision.
"I'll teach English as an adjunct to children" Intan bargained. Calculate as the cost of living here.
Ms. Ela's mangosteen.
"The kids are quite stubborn. Nak Intan doesn't have to bother. Nsk Intan quite a lot of rest only."
"For the busyness, Mom. Also for entertainment. I like kids."
Miss Ela smiled hearing that. Intan is not only beautiful but also angelic hearted. May love and affection always envelop Intan as well as the baby in her birth.
