OBSESSION WITH VAMPIRES

I'm Thankful to God

A pregnancy that had not yet occurred to her mother, remains a joyous gift to Jean's little family. An increasingly bloated stomach shows that the baby in Jean's stomach is well developed.

Jean sits in a restaurant with Clarisa, and since she became pregnant, she often goes with Clarisa, who is pregnant. Compared to other friends who have their own busy lives, which sometimes get together once a month, Clarisa and Jean more often meet almost three times a week.

Sometimes they discuss the health of the fetus, to the parenting knowledge they learn from the internet or from the obstetrician they meet.

“Two days ago, while traveling with my husband's family, my stomach was cramping, I was really shocked and panicked”, Clarisa told me.

“ya god, then how?”, Jean responded while still eating the dish in front of her.

“So suddenly I went to the nearest obstetrician, but luckily it's not too bad”. Said Clarisa whose gestational age is younger than Jean.

“Thank God”, Jean was relieved.

“But you know?, the obstetrician at the hospital was really a professional, I could feel the difference with the doctor who was in our area”, Clarisa explained her experience.

“But even so, the doctor we met is also very good, if we have to go out of town to see the doctor, we will be exhausted. And it's not nice”. Typhoon Jean.

“Iya anyway, actually Bram said, if the doctor is good, but the same as the doctor we usually meet. Bram even considered me who felt the doctor was very professional, it was because I liked his face.”. Clarisa reminisces about how Bram is jealous.

“Hahaha, what is his face so handsome that Brother Bram feels like it?”, Jean asked.

“First, he is still very young, about 26 or 27 years?. And he is indeed handsome, look”. Clarisa's pointing her phone at Jean.

Jean looks at the gynecologist photo Clarisa is showing, sees a doctor standing chatting with Bram on his desk, looks like Clarisa photographed him secretly from the examination bed.

But Jean felt familiar with the posture of the man in the photo, Jean's face was getting closer to the screen of Clarissa's phone.

“Eyy, until you see”, Clarisa teases Jean while hiding her phone screen from Jean.

“Wait a minute, I think I know that doctor”. Jean half forced to look at Clarisa's phone.

“She's a former co-worker at the production house”, Jean concludes, after believing the one she saw on Clarisa's phone was Reno.

“What?, don't connect really. Wrong see kali”. Clarisa.

“I'm sure, his name is Reno isn't it?”, Jean asked.

“Not, his name is doctor Eric”. Answer Clarisa.

“Any, but I'm sure I didn't see the wrong”, Jean reassured herself by staring at Clarisa's phone screen.

“Maybe he has a twin”, Clarisa guessing.

“Ah, yes. Probably true like that”. Jean gave up thinking about it for a little longer.

“Oh yes, next week I will go with mistress Louis, sister want to come?”, Jean asked.

“Again?, you often meet him yes, this is the fifth time”, Clarisa said.

“I'm not good to refuse, he is also very considerate and well”. Obviously Jean.

“But how long will he stay in our country?, you said he was just holiday”, Clarisa asked.

“I don't know, maybe he also has some work, so maybe it can be up to one year”. Jean guessed, because every time she met the mistress of Louis, Jean always saw the mistress of Louis as receiving a call, which was related to work.

“What does sister mean?”, Jean doesn't understand what Clarisa's asking.

“I mean, did Enver tell you to keep a good relationship with mistress Louis, because she's the wife of one of Valera Company's important investors? ”, Clarisa explained back her question.

“Ohh, no, Enver always complains because I go out too often, even though I am pregnant”, replied Jean.

“I once met the mistress Louis during a walk in a shopping mall, while looking through baby furniture. He accompanied me shopping. Before that, I once ran into Miss Louis while eating with my coworkers. He was really kind, and also considerate. I often get tips and tricks during pregnancy”. Jean explained.

“Oh waw, you called him, it looks like you respect him a lot”. Clarisa concluded.

“You don't know her age, Louis's mistress is 2012 years”, Jean explained.

“Most Enver employees who are assigned around you will be almost ten centuries”, said Clarisa.

“Yes, you are right. So every time I remember that, I feel amazed”, Jean chimed in.

“But you didn't call them he”, Clarisa confirmed what she meant.

“I don't know, maybe because mistress Louis really has a rather.” aura, Jean has trouble expressing her feelings.

“Yes, that's how I feel too. He had a powerful domineering aura. But don't take me anymore, Miss Louis is only good to you, she doesn't seem to be a real good person. Either because I feel ignored by Louis's mistress, so I don't like her. Or maybe there's something weird about Louis's mistress that”. Clarisa expresses her feelings.

“I'm sorry, I didn't know that brother wasn't comfortable”. Jean felt guilty for her friend.

The day Louis' mistress arrived, Jean set off in the afternoon. Along the way, Jean thought of a reason to reject Louis's future invitation. Because indeed, even though the mistress Louis was kind to Jean, but Jean felt uncomfortable because she felt burdened.

“Jean, look at this. Geez this is so cute”, Madam Louis showed me a pair of baby clothes she saw to Jean.

“I will buy this dress for your son later, ah this is Also”, Mrs Louis is very excited.

“Ah is not a mistress, do not overdo it. Let's just eat”. Jean attempts to pull Louis's mistress out of a baby supply store that she accidentally misses.

“When I really wanted to buy it, did you feel burdened?”, Mrs Louis looked sad while twirling spaghetti with her fork.

“Not so, my baby gear is complete, will be redundant if buy too many”. Jean explained.

“I'm sorry, I think of my late son, when he died when his gestational age was close to giving birth. I really felt devastated at that time, even though I saw him preparing for his birth with the spirit of”. Lady Louis recalled.

“Yes my god, I'm sorry. You must be very sad”. Jean felt guilty as she held the back of Louis's mistress' hand.

“No, why are you apologizing?, this is not your fault. I just miss him”. Obviously, Miss Louis, smiling.

“That day he was beside me on the way home, but he received a call from an unknown number, it turns out that the phone call brought news of grief. The news that her husband had died in detention, someone killed him. My son, he's in shock. She jumped from the floor of a tall building, unable to accept her dead husband. No one was aware of the incident, because my son did it in an abandoned building. Until security found him 3 days after my son jumped. If only I had paid more attention to him, if only I didn't think that maybe he needed time to himself”. Mrs Louis told me in tears.

The speechless Jean could only strengthen her grip on the back of Louis's mistress' hand, hoping that Louis' mistress could be steadfast and patient.

“If only her husband hadn't died, I probably wouldn't have lost my son and granddaughter like that”.

A few hours later, Jean hugs Louis, saying goodbye. Jean got into the car, and nodded while waving to the smiling mistress Louis and replying to Jean's hand from outside.

Amidst the sadness of what was experienced by mistress Louis, Jean while rubbing her big belly felt grateful, because God still protects her and the baby in her stomach all this time.
