Red Stain

Early Lies

Finally the long-awaited departure of the Son has now come and Julia feels a bit afraid also worried about the steps taken after this. Several times he pondered and thought until the moment when the Son called him did not respond.

"Are you sure you'll be okay when I'm gone ? Because you keep daydreaming."

"I'm fine because I'm alone at home maybe I'll look for a busy time so as not to daydream, and I look forward to our son's presence."

"The child will not be present when I go Julia how can you get pregnant without a husband."

Julia suddenly felt shocked and her heart skipped a beat and smiled to get rid of this awkwardness and cover up the suspicions of the Son. "That's why you come home often if there's time so I can get pregnant soon."

"Of course I'll be home when I have time." His suitcase was lifted into the car assisted by the driver and Putra waved from the car as it was heading to the airport.

Julia sees Putra's car has gone a long way and she picks up the bag that was in the room and calls Thalia to let her know that Putra is gone and plans are ready to be carried out starting today.

It is likely that Putra's plane has flown to the country that he will occupy for a while while while Julia now divides the crowded city streets several times through red lights to get to the apartment owned Thalia.

The doorbell rang and Julia came in when the door opened, Thalia had been waiting since then and allowed Julia to sit on the sofa that was often occupied by the Son and without Julia's knowledge of course.

"I've prepared some stuff that you'll use to make your stomach look bloated." Thalia issued the item which amounted to 3 different sizes and of course followed the age of pregnancy.

"What is this ? Like a cushion."

"That thing is in your stomach and you'll look like you're pregnant, 3 months pregnant, you wear the smallest one, and then every 2 months you wear a bigger one.

Julia tried to put it on and saw her belly bulging like a pregnant person, she stroked her own stomach and imagined that if she was really pregnant she should not have done anything so far.

"What if I get caught, and what if Putra asks for his ration as husband for sure he will see this bearing and I will definitely be scolded and at worst we will get a divorce."

"You want to get divorced or not it's none of my business." Thalia murmured inwardly because of how innocent this Julia who had even thought of the reason for the other lies alone was incapable.

"Yes you refuse to say the danger if you do it while you are pregnant or you can reason later the fetus will be okay. It's up to you to reason for anything but obviously don't let the Son see your belly."

Julia's determination is like a rock being crushed by waves and easily broken until she is confused whether this will she continue with all the consequences she will receive in the future or Julia will stop even before he begins to search for safety but he must face fate if called barren by all who ask when he became pregnant.

"If I then don't need to." Thalia was very unhappy with the hesitant person but as she took the pads Julia's hand stopped her.

"Well I'll do it, please keep this secret as best I can."

*****

Julia hesitantly took her phone to tell her husband that she was pregnant. With a breath that tried to calm down and then heard the voice of the man he loved so much far away.

Son ~ "What's the baby is all right ? You don't usually call me at this hour."

The situation where Putra lives at this time is midnight and he was sleeping last night until when he received the phone his eyes were still closed because of sleepiness and also tired all day had worked hard for the company newness.

Julia ~ "oh sorry baby I forgot that it's night because it's still day here, I have something to say and it's important."

Son of ~ "what is it ?." The voice of the Son is still hoarse typical of people waking up even so he listened clearly even though his eyes were really difficult to open.

Julia ~ "i'm currently pregnant."

The son immediately departed from his sleep and drowsiness disappeared instantly when he heard the word he had long wanted to hear now conveyed by Julia. Want to not believe because as she remembers Julia has been left abroad for a month.

Son ~ "Really ?." The son asked again to confirm what he heard because he could have heard wrong because he was sleepy.

Julia ~ "yes I'm pregnant and my gynecologist turned out to be almost 2 months, that when you were at home, I did not expect to get pregnant when you went away from me.

Son of ~ "whatever this is good news and I'll be home soon to see my future son, this happy news you must convey to our extended family."

Julia ~ "yes dear I will tell our extended family that I am pregnant."

Julia looked at herself in front of the mirror and did not expect that she had been good at lying to this extent but wanted to how else, Julia has stepped on a fire that is so hot and can't come back and her only hope is that all of this goes smoothly until Thalia gives birth and recognizes her as Julia's child.

The voice of the son who laughed because he was very happy because he had been pregnant after a long wait and struggle and it turned out to make Julia finally had to lie.

But Julia did not give up because she would consider the child her own child even though on the other hand Julia would still try to have her own biological child. As long as she can still try Julia still has hope of having offspring.

Julia ~ "well, baby, you go to bed and I'll let our extended family know they'll have a grandchild soon."

Son ~"yes dear take care of you and our future son until I return."

The phone closed and Julia felt dizzy because just the beginning she felt disappointed to have lied to her own husband. "When I have to go to church and repent but then God when all this is done."
