Not Love But Married

June 21, 2016 (part 2)

Today Arsha forces Celine to go to her obstetrician to check on her pregnancy. At first Celine refused, but Arsha continued to persuade him until finally Celine was willing to comply with Arsha's request.

Celine squeezed out her cold hands, feeling her heart pound faster. Arsha who was sitting next to him was aware of the anxiety Celine was feeling.

"Relax baby, our baby must be healthy and strong" said Arsha while rubbing Celine's back so that Celine can be calmer. Celine just smiled looking at Arsha who looked so excited today.

"Celine Arumi's mother please come in.", a female nurse called out her name, now it's time for Celine to step into the examination room.

Suddenly Celine held Arsha's hand, trying to stop her lover's steps.

"Darling, is it really safe here with no journalists?".

Arsha smiled at Celine's fear. "Remain calm, this is a very good hospital, and it takes good care of the privacy of each patient. Your data and name are safe here, I promise".", said Arsha, holding two fingers in front of Celine's visibly agitated face.

"Welcome mother Celine, I'm doctor Rani, please sit. ", a female doctor who is sitting in her chair welcomes Celine and Arsha who just entered the examination room.

"Siang dok.", said Arsha briefly.

"Can I help you?", asked Dr. Rani to Arsha and Celine, who were sitting in front of her.

"Emmm. This doc, want to check the pregnancy doc.", answered Arsha hesitantly, embarrassed by her status who is still not married to Celine.

Celine still remained silent shut her mouth tightly, her cold sweat had started to flow down her body.

"Okay, let's check first. Have you ever checked your pregnancy with a testpack?",

"Already, doc.", Arsha who answered Rani's doctor's question again after glancing at Celine who was still silent beside her.

"Okay, I'll do the Ultrasound to make sure. Please sleep there.".

Celine went up to the bed that was appointed by Dr. Rani, a female nurse who accompanied Rani doctor directly helped Celine to sleep on the bed beside the ultrasound device. Dr. Rani immediately performed an ultrasound examination on Celine's stomach which still looks flat.

"Please Father and Mother can see from the screen in front.", appoint Rani on the monitor screen just above Celine's feet.

Arsha stared at the large monitor screen in front of her.

"Well, here's the baby. It's her head and body, her legs and hands have also started to grow, her gestational age is about ten weeks, her condition is very healthy. Now let's listen to the baby's heartbeat."

'Dugdug dugdug.....'

Arsha was surprised to hear him, his eyes glued to the screen which showed a picture that was not clear to Arsha, but still could be seen there was a small faint movement from his son's heart. There was a haru feeling in his heart, he was so happy to see the condition of his son in Celine's stomach.

While Celine closed her eyes tightly, unwilling to stare at the monitor screen in front of her. Celine wanted to cry right then and there, not because she was happy, but because of her growing fear.

Since the pregnancy examination at that time Arsha's attitude became more protective on Celine. Almost every time Arsha calls Celine by phone just to remind her to eat or have taken her pregnancy vitamins.

Celine was getting more and more unsettled thinking about the day that kept changing, and surely the more days her stomach would also definitely grow bigger.

And now her gestational age has entered the 13th week. Arsha last week again persuaded Celine to want to marry him as soon as possible, but Celine still refused on the grounds that the schedule is still solid, he said, there was no time to tell his parents in England. While Arsha also did not dare to tell her parents because Celine still looks hesitant to marry him.

"Dad, you're getting fat like well. Her clothes so press that, even though last month was still quite tuh shirt.", Bobby twirled Celine's body, observing Celine's body shape that looks contained in the chest and abdomen.

"Beb, don't be hard dong ihh, ", whispered Celine as she brought her index finger closer to her lips.

"Replace the other clothes aja dech, which is a little loosen, today very sultry.", said Celine tried to reason.

"Ish. It's a bigger size than usual. Eemmm. pake a wide skirt only time yes.".

Bobby reopens Celine's suitcase, looking for clothes that Celine can wear right now.

Celine is currently attending a talk show at one of the private TV stations in Indonesia.

She was invited as a guest star to be interviewed about her artistic life, and will be broadcast live.

The show went smoothly until the last session of questions from the host arrived.

"Now comes the last question, Celine Arumi, what would you choose, career or family?", asked the female presenter who was interviewing her.

Instantly Celine was silent, her lips could still smile to be able to cover her panic.

Celine squeezed out her cold hands, so she could stay focused at this moment.

"Career", Celine replied briefly with a slightly quivering voice.

Along the way home from the TV station Celine is still silent, now she has established herself to choose a career as her main goal at this time.

Celine exhaled with a rough breath, expelling all the anxiety she had been feeling all along. Now he has decided, and whatever the risk he will accept it, including Arsha's anger at him later.

Since three weeks ago Celine has been looking for information and a place that can overcome her pregnancy problems, of course without the knowledge of Bobby and Arsha. And now he got what he was looking for.

Tonight Celine returns to the apartment and Arsha of course welcomes her very happily.

"Darling, how's our son?", that's the first question Arsha asked as Celine got home.

'Everything is always about the child', Celine's inner self is getting upset.

"You don't ask me?", Celine scowled at Arsha's attention now more to the fetus in her stomach than to her.

"Yes of course you are also dong dear, our child is still in your stomach.", Arsha smiled at Celine's behavior as if jealous of her own child.

"I miss you... " , Arsha hugs Celine and kisses her forehead.

"Udah ah, I want to take a bath first. ", catch Celine as she passes towards the bathroom.

In the bathroom Celine felt cramps in her stomach, her stomach hurt like it was twisted very hard.

"Arsha.!!", cried Celine loudly.

Arsha ran after hearing Celine's scream from the bathroom.

"Celine, what's going on?", asked Arsha frantically at Celine's screams.

Arsha was silent after opening the bathroom door, there was a lot of blood that had been scattered on the floor and was seen still flowing on both feet Celine.

"Arsha, my stomach hurts... ", Arsha looked at Celine's face that looked pale and in pain. Arsha regained consciousness and immediately lifted Celine's body and immediately took her to the hospital.

Arsha was still in disbelief, just now Rani's doctor told that the baby in Celine's womb is no longer salvageable, because Celine had a great contraction in her womb, which was not enough, and must be done immediately curettage to clean the remaining bleeding left in the Celine.

Arsha closed her eyes tightly, today on June 21, 2016, Arsha lost her child candidate, the flesh and blood she so awaited her presence.
