Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

S2: Sesame Seeds

No sleep, no problem for Nevan. This morning he had an appointment with an obstetrician and was now preparing to go there with Gantari, of course.

"We can go later in the afternoon, Dion."

Nevan shook his head firmly. "Fear you changed your mind."

Gantari's lips immediately throbbed. However, Nevan immediately pulled Gantari's hand and pulled her into the car. Meanwhile, Bi Murni who became a silent witness to the small debate of the newlyweds just smiled amusedly. Then, he started cleaning the dining table.

Nevan and Gantari were forced to wait about 15 minutes because indeed they came earlier than the appointment.

"No, we came too soon." Gantari wiggled at the few people who were also sitting in the waiting chair.

"It's only 15 minutes no problem" Nevan replied casually. He pulled out his phone, then opened the camera app and immediately snapped a surprised-looking Gantari.

"What are you doing?"

"First day check on the little guy" Nevan murmured, then kept his phone back in his pants pocket.

Gantari gawked, then laughed. "Totally my husband, O God."

Gantari's laughter came to a halt as a nurse called her name. Nevan stood up in spirit, causing Gantari to burst into laughter again.

"First kid, huh?" A female doctor asked kindly after inviting the two to sit down who was greeted by a shy nod by Gantari.

"We'll calculate his age first, yes," the doctor said. "When is the first date of your last period?"

"25 September."

The doctor had typed something on his phone. "It's been 5 weeks" he said with a warm smile.

Gantari's body stiffened. He looked quickly at Nevan who was also looking at him.

"But we're just getting married 3 weeks, Doc."

"Nearly 4 Weeks," Nevan added.

The doctor smiled completely. This is how a doctor should be, friendly and soothing.

"The gestational age calculation starts from the HPHT not from the date of marriage." The hijab doctor continued, "Why? Afraid of being slandered?"

Gantari did not answer, but the doctor understood. "Quiet down. People are now pinter-pinter, really. Many people understand this."

Seeing the look on Gantari's face that has not changed, the doctor again continued, "If anyone does not understand and does not want to understand, how long does the nyinyir and nyindir resistant? I'll be tired of myself."

This time Gantari smiled. This doctor before him was actually trying to improve his mood, as if the phenomenon that happened to Gantari was not the first time he had faced.

"Now it's selfish. Thought to yourself. Think of your children. That's far more important than people's talk."

Secretly, Nevan grabs Gantari's hand and grasps it. As if convincing Gantari if he was not alone.

"We're USG, yeah. This way is more accurate for determining the age of the fetus." The doctor stands up, followed by Gantari and Nevan. Then, Gantari was asked to lie down, then his stomach was smeared with gel by the doctor.

"It's a pregnancy bag" the doctor explained as he moved the transducer. "Well! That sesame seed is the fetus."

There was a swish that Gantari felt when he saw that amazing sight. He stared at the monitor without blinking. His love had already fallen even though he had only seen such a small point.

"His heart rate hasn't been heard. If it sounds even more extraordinary," said the doctor as if understood by the taste of haru Gantari.

...****************...

"More worried, huh?" Nevan, who was driving the car, reached out with her hand and grabbed Gantari's hand, then grabbed her again.

Gantari. "It's normal."

Nevan glanced in disbelief, making Gantari re-emphasize. "really. It's normal."

"Oh." Nevan rounded her lips, then painstakingly held back a laugh.

"Not laughing. Now I'm going to Mama's house."

Nevan looked again. "To mama's house?"

"Yes. Give me an announcement. Go straight to Grandpa's house, yeah."

Waw!

There is a great relief Nevan felt. Thankfully, Gantari was able to control her worries.

"We go to grandpa's house first, yeah. Closer than here" Nevan said, who was greeted with a nod to agree with Gantari.

Along the way, Nevan hummed, leaving Gantari shuddering in horror. However, he did not forbid because Gantari secretly enjoyed the expression of Nevan's happiness.

A pickup truck from the left side of the line was traveling at high speed. Then, just overtaking the car driven by Nevan, until now the black painted car is in front of them. However, suddenly the pickup car immediately braked suddenly, to make Nevan shocked. Meanwhile, Gantari was already shrieking in panic.

Citttt!

Nevan stepped firmly on the brake pedal, but because of the distance of the vehicle that was close, finally the impact remained unavoidable.

Brakk!

Both are moving forward. Luckily they were wearing seat belts, but Gantari was grimacing and it made Nevan panic.

Nevan opened her seatbelt in a dashing manner and immediately checked on Gantari. "You're okay, right?"

Some people started to arrive. However, Nevan has not opened the door until he gets an answer from Gantari.

"It's okay."

Only then did Nevan open the car door and explain that they were okay. The pickup driver came in with a crush. The dark-skinned man's temples looked bruised, but he came to Nevan with a worried face.

"Mister is okay? I'm so sorry, sir. Sorry," he said with both hands cupped in front of his chest. "My son is sick, so I'm in a hurry to go home. M

Again sorry, sir."

Nevan nodded slowly. "It's okay. My wife is fine too."

The driver tried to peek at Gantari who was still sitting in the car and the driver's face turned pale when he saw the front of Nevan's car. "Pater's car ...."

"It's okay. Just a scuff."

That pale face slowly turned a little bright. His eyes looked dewy as he said, "May I go now? Or is there something I need to finish first?"

"Go away. I'll take care of everything."

The family's backbone immediately shook Nevan's hand and repeated apologies and thanks. "May the father and wife be happy and healthy always."
