Not Just a Status

26. Kidnap?

Mandala immediately drove her car with a gloomy face,"Who.."Mandala did not continue her words as she looked at Kahyang's face that seemed to be enduring the pain. Mandala had wanted to ask who the young man who was with Kahyang had been. But seeing Kahyang's expression that seemed to withstand the pain, made Mandala urung to ask. And even pulled the car over.

"Why are you, hem?"tanya Mandala while holding Kahyang's cheek. The face of the Mandala that had been gloomy, immediately turned into a very worried one.

Kahyang opened his eyes and looked at the worried looking Mandala, "My stomach is cramping," replied Kahyang lirih.

"What's? Your stomach is cramping?"mandala asked in surprise, "We're going to the hospital, huh?"said Mandala with a panicked face to return to his car.

"No need! I just want to go home and rest" said Kahyang while holding the hand of Mandala.

"We need to see a doctor!"keukeh Mandala doesn't want anything to happen to Kahyang and his son.

"I don't want to! Auwf!"sergeant Kahyang who even made his stomach feel more pain.

Looking at Kahyang who insisted, even Mandala could not force, 'You sure you don't want to see a doctor?'"tanya Mandala tried to persuade Kahyang again.

"Yes. I want to go home, "sahut Kahyang softened Undeniably, there is a feeling of pleasure in Kahyang heart saw Mandala seemed to worry about him. Even the man was not angry with his rude attitude.

"alright. We go home, "sahut Mandala while lowering the seat occupied by Kahyang, so that Kahyang can sit comfortably. Then drive his car.

Mandala glanced towards Kahyang's stomach. The man reached out his left hand to gently rub Kahyang's stomach. His eyes focused on the highway. For some reason, Kahyang felt comfortable as Mandala stroked her stomach.

Cramps in Kahyang's stomach slowly reduced due to the Mandala swab, and finally Kahyang fell asleep. Mandala looked at the woman who was containing her flesh and blood. There was guilt and also tightness in his heart when he remembered having to divorce the woman after giving birth later. Had there not been such a match, Mandala would have stayed with Kahyang and built a real household.

After arriving at the basement of the apartment, Kahyang appeared to be still asleep. Feeling unbearable to wake Kahyang, Mandala also chose to hold Kahyang to return to his apartment.Mandala entered the elevator followed by a middle-aged woman.

"Why this girl?"the middle-aged woman asked looking at the suspicious Mandala. The woman suspected Mandala of abducting or deceiving the girl in her carrier, then taken and slept like in a movie or novel she had read.

"He's asleep, Mom. I can't wake him up. So I just carry, "sahut Mandala slowly, do not want Kahyang disturbed because of his voice.

"You didn't kidnap her, did you?"the middle-aged woman asked increasingly suspiciously.

"Kidnap? Mom is just there. She's my wife, "sahut Mandala laughed without a sound.

"I can't believe it!"cetus the middle-aged woman.

"Please be too strong to speak, ma'am! My wife's stomach was cramping. Therefore I could not bear to wake her, "the Mandala with a clear face.

"Kram?"ask the middle-aged woman. I still don't believe in Mandalas.

"Yes. She's pregnant. When I picked her up from college, her stomach was cramping. When I wanted to take her to the doctor, she did not want to, "sahut Mandala looked down at Kahyang's face.

Hearing the reason and seeing Mandala's gaze on the girl he was carrying, made the middle-aged woman's suspicion slowly disappear.

"Did he fall off?"asked the middle-aged woman lowering her voice.

"I don't know" said Mandala.

"If your wife is pregnant, take good care of her! Don't fall or get stressed! Both of these things can harm the baby in the womb," said the middle-aged woman.

"Yes,"sahut Mandala smiled faintly, but then Mandala remembered something,"Sorry, Mom. Since I was pregnant, my wife had nausea and vomiting in the morning. Is there a cure?"mandala asked, hoping that the middle-aged woman had a solution.

"Indeed, many pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting, especially in the morning. Usually, the doctor will give medication to reduce nausea and vomiting. But many pregnant women still experience nausea and vomiting despite taking medication from a doctor. There is a sense of nausea lost if smelling the scent of her husband's body. Some even hate to be approached by her husband" said the middle-aged woman.

"really? Nausea pregnant women can disappear if smelling the scent of her husband's body?"tanya Mandala did not believe it.

"Sorry! I don't mean to make mom sad" Mandala said.

"It's okay. It was a long time ago," said the middle-aged woman forcing her lips to smile.

Soon the elevator doors opened and the two walked into their apartment units. Mandala carefully laid Kahyang on the bed. Covering Kahyang's body, then peeling Kahyang's forehead.

Mandala left Kahyang to clean himself.After feeling his body fresher, Mandala also completed the ritual bath. As usual, Mandala came out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around her waist. Mandala approached Kahyang when she saw the young woman moving her head. Mandala sat on the edge of the bed, making Kahyang open his eyes.

"Are you awake?"mandala asked gently with a smile on her lips.

"A.you? Ma... What do you want?"asked Kahyang who was surprised and panicked to see Mandala bare-chested. Kahyang immediately opened the blanket to look at his body. He still wears full clothes, but doesn't that guarantee that Mandala doesn't do anything to him? Mandala once did it without her knowledge because Mandala re-dressed her clothes after doing so.

Mandala let out a long sigh upon seeing Kahyang's reaction,"Don't worry! I wouldn't do it without your permission" said Mandala, who understood what was panicking Kahyang.

"Why don't you wear clothes?"asked Kahyang while turning his face away.

"I just finished my shower. Does your stomach still hurt? Did you fall down?"mandala asked as she rubbed Kahyang's stomach from under the blanket.

"No. I didn't fall. I'm better, "that Kahyang without looking at Mandala, even though he really wants to. Kahyang recalled when Mandala lay on the sofa bare-chested. Kahyang looked at the man's chest so fielded, and the muscles in his stomach were also perfectly printed. Just like in the comics he read. Remembering that made Kahyang's face meet red.

"Then why is your face red?"tanya Mandala was worried again.

"It's okay," said Kahyang directly covering his entire body with a blanket.

"All right, if that's okay. I wear clothes first" Mandala said as she moved from her seat.

***

At night, Mandala is seen sitting on the edge of the bed, straightening her legs, holding her laptop with a view that focuses on her laptop screen. While Kahyang sat in front of his study desk, doing his college assignments, the young woman seemed to yawn several times.

Mandala glanced at Kahyang who had yawned several times, "If you are tired, rest first! Don't force yourself! Not good for your health and also our children" said Mandala with eyes that are still focused on the screen of his laptop.

"I have to finish this task, and collect it tomorrow. Otherwise, that killer lecturer would have given me even more tasks. This one just gives me a headache, how about plus more?"sahut Kahyang let out a rough breath with a face that looks tangled.

Hearing what Kahyang said, Mandala turned to Kahyang. The mandala only realized that the woman's face looked wrinkled. Mandala closed her laptop and approached Kahyang.

"Let me see. What kind of job gives you a headache?"tanya Mandala while sitting at the Kahyang study table.

Kahyang showed his duty to the Mandala. Then put his head on the table. Looking at the task sheet Kahyang gave, Mandala shook her head slowly with a smile.

"I taught you to?"mandala asked, making Kahyang raise his head to look at Mandala.

"You,"sahut Kahyang was enthusiastic.

"But not free,"
