"You didn't go to college ...?" axel asked when he saw his wife still had not changed clothes.
They are currently having breakfast at the dinner table. Rachel looked at her daughter-in-law.
"You look a little pale, are you sick, son?" ask Rachel.
Syifa simply shook her head in response. Axel, who was sitting next to his wife, looked at him sharply. Mama Rachel was right, Syifa looked a little pale. Axel held his wife's forehead, but it didn't feel warm.
"Surely no one's sick?" ask Axel again.
"It's been a week that my head is often dizzy and nauseous. That's it," replied Syifa.
Rachel who heard the answer from her daughter-in-law, immediately looked at Syifa's face. Then he smiled.
"Have you come to the moon?" ask Rachel.
Axel and Syifa looked at each other. Maybe embarrassed by the question his mother asked.
"This month has not, Ma. It's been a week too late" said Syifa softly in embarrassment.
"Are you not pregnant?" ask Rachel.
Axel and Syifa looked at each other. Actually he also thinks so, but is afraid of being wrong. The woman did not want to hope. He is also currently in college.
"Actually I was thinking there too. But afraid of being wrong" replied Syifa.
"Then, you and Axel should go to the hospital, make a check" said Rachel.
Axel agreed with his mother. He then decides to leave the campus and will take Syifa to the hospital.

Axel and Syifa were sitting together in the obstetrician's room. Their faces were visibly anxious as doctors were examining Syifa's blood test results.
"Bu Syifa, the test results show that you're pregnant" the doctor said with a big smile.
"Ham..pregnant?" shifa muttered surprised.
"Yes, Miss Syifa. The mother is currently in a state of early pregnancy," the doctor explained with great excitement.
Axel immediately grabbed Syifa's hand and looked at her with a smile until it extended across her lips. "Syifa, are you really pregnant?"
The two of them were silent for a moment enjoying their happy moment. Afterwards, the doctor asked them to ask them anything they wanted to know about the pregnancy.
"Is my pregnancy going normally?" ask Syifa worriedly.
"In general, yes. However, I noticed a lack of nutrient intake on your blood test. I'll give you additional food and supplement recommendations that you'll need over the next 9 months."
Syifa and Axel looked at each other. They both wonder what kind of challenges they will face.
"Will it be dangerous for my wife or baby-to-be to continue with activities as usual?" ask Axel.
"In the early stages of pregnancy, as long as the mother feels comfortable and is not touched by unhealthy conditions, it is advisable to keep the activity as usual. But be careful, yeah. You should avoid strenuous physical activity or going up and down stairs a lot. Especially at this stage, you need to rest enough," replied the doctor.
Axel nodded firmly. He is determined to always take care of the health of his wife and future baby.
"We also heard about morning sickness. Are the symptoms dangerous?" ask Syifa.
"Morning sickness is a natural part of pregnancy. It is not dangerous, but it can be very uncomfortable. You can try drinking ginger water or eating biscuits before waking up to relieve the symptoms. If your persistent nausea or vomiting is particularly severe, I'll give you specific diet tips to help you control your symptoms" replied the doctor.
Axel and Syifa were relieved to get an answer from the doctor. They promise to work together and maintain their health and happiness and the future babies born later.
On the way home, they talk to each other and plan their future with the upcoming baby. Axel held Syifa's hand and kissed her gently. "I'll give you everything you and our baby-to-be need. I will always look after you and the baby with all my heart."
Syifa looked at her husband, then returned Axel's gentle kiss. "Thank you for being my support all the time. I'll always try and take care of myself and our baby."
When returning home, Axel immediately did some browsing about what can be done so that Syifa's pregnancy runs smoothly. She immediately devised a diet plan that helped the growth and development of her baby.
"I read that green vegetables like spinach and broccoli are great for fetal health" Axel told Syifa.
Syifa smiled. She feels grateful for having a husband who is very caring and caring for her health and her future baby.
"Syifa, I also found some interesting tips for caring for pregnant women. Maybe someday I can help you wash baby clothes and carry our baby," said Axel.
Syifa looked at her husband affectionately. Pregnancy is not only hers, but Axel's. And they will take care and be happy with the little fetus that grows in the womb of Syifa. The woman could feel if the man had truly loved her not just as an escape from Dita.
Rachel and her father-in-law are out of the house. Axel and Syifa were already impatient to say this happy news.
