Should I forgive

Saving Aib

Sasha took off all her clothes in the bathroom. He saw his stomach in front of the glass. The stomach that is now slim in a few months will get bigger.

Some of his clothes may not fit anymore. He realized that as his stomach grew bigger, he would no longer be able to hide it.

His mother will be widespread among all his friends.

And some of them will ask, who is his father?

His tears trickled from feeling depressed and afraid.

After taking a shower, Sasha went out and called Arya.

Only Arya knows how all this happened. He could have helped her.

He then held a cell phone and dialed Arya's number. But the intention to inform her of her pregnancy was finally undone.

Not now!

If later I have no way out, then I will ask Arya for help.

As long as he could still deal with his own problems, then he would not ask Arya for help.

He will tell you everything at the right time. Sasha also realizes that she will desperately need Arya's help as her family grows larger.

She must go to the doctor often and check up if she wants to continue to maintain her pregnancy.

Not to mention vitamins and other costs. Delivery and hospital costs. He also couldn't possibly stay in the dormitory after having a big belly. He has to stay in the apartment. And all of that costs money.

He thought about the next few months.

Nadiya was sitting daydreaming to see children running in the streets.

"Shirt, can you help me for a second."

"Yes Mom." Nadiya got up from her seat.

Since Nadiya had no name, Sandra's mother eventually called her Sekar.

"Please help me lift this mattress. We're gonna hang it out in the sun again."

Nadiya assisted by her mother Sandra lifted a mattress from the room to be dried in the yard.

"Last night mom's room leaked, so the bed was wet. Looks like there's a slumping precariousness."

"Is your room also leaking?"

"No, Mom."

"Yes already. If it does not leak. If anyone leaks and the mattress is wet to dry."

Nadiya then followed Sandra's mother into the kitchen.

"Wait outside. Let me cook this fish."

"Ngga papa Ma'am. Just get bored outside, let me help." Nadiya then made fish seasoning.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside.

"Mom! Ma'am...."

"She wait a minute."

"This is Mom, the message." Said one of his neighbors who had just harvested shallots.

He sold it to Sandra's mother, knowing that Sandra's mother sold fried onions.

"Thank you, Mom."

"Together."

After paying for the onion, Sandra's mother went back into the kitchen.

"Many messages."

"Yes. Next week there's an order for 100 jars of onions."

"Waahhhh, that's fine, ma'am."

"Yes Sekar, since you're here, I've had a lot of orders. You brought windfall."

Her mother Sandra was very happy with the presence of Sekar or Nadiya. Because in addition to his order rame, he also helped with homework.

***

Vano was sitting under a tree contemplating. He felt annoyed, angry, and disappointed because if it was true what Elena said.

Vano looks sad because he really can't have his love.

He already has a very strong bond, which is the child in Sasha's womb.

Who's lover?

Not me, not Jack. Is her boyfriend not here?

I guess I should forget it.

Does he belong to someone? Are they married? This fast?

Old Vano pensive.

The same question is with Jack. He was also sitting alone in the canteen. He also thought the same as what Vano thought.

Sasha belongs to someone. Her pregnancy has proven that she already has. I don't know who managed to have it.

They are swept up in their own thoughts and feelings.

***

While Sandra kept trying to get close to Prasetyo and captivate his heart. Every way he tried to get his sympathy.

He cooked his favorite dishes, but he was forced to be disappointed because Prasetyo was still reluctant to sit at the table.

He was still thinking about Nadiya whose whereabouts were unknown.

Sandra was very upset because she had woken up so early in the morning to be able to make good cuisine for Prasetyo.

"Prass! Breakfast first. Sandra's cooking your favorite food." Oma said while eating her breakfast.

"It seems Pras is not having breakfast today. Last night Pras ate too full. Pras left first, Oma." Prasetyo then went to work.

Sandra looked pouted and disappointed. Oma could see the disappointment on Sandra's face.

"That feels good. Let Oma eat if Prasetyo is still full." Oma said so Sandra wouldn't feel too disappointed.

Sandra nodded and smiled at Oma despite the seeming compulsion of her smile.

Oma feels bad about Sandra. Because as long as there is no Nadiya, Sandra has been very helpful to them.

She takes care of all the household affairs and also takes care of her children.

Every day Oma wishes Nadiya would come back soon if she entered alive. However, six months have passed and he did not return either.

They've been through six months without Nadiya. There was no word from the police about his whereabouts. Or if he's gone, at least someone found his body.

But he was lost as if he had not been left in a trace.

After six months, Sasha's pregnancy got bigger. Some clothes can no longer be worn. Eventually Sasha bought some loose-fitting clothes so as to disguise her stomach.

To this day, no one is suspicious of him. He became fat because he ate a lot. And all his friends thought that Sasha was fat and her stomach was also distended.

He rarely came out of his room so not many saw him. After returning home from college, he also went straight to his room.

Madina who came out and bought all her needs.

Regan doesn't know about Sasha's pregnancy either, as they never see each other again.

Sometimes Madina goes to Regan, but never talks about Sasha. She also kept Sasha's pregnancy a secret from everyone.

Because if it is exposed, it will be an uproar.

After seven months, Sasha applied for a four-month leave. He's going to college online.

He also said goodbye to Madina because she would not stay in the dorm anymore.

He will live in an apartment not far from the campus. Because soon she will give birth and of course her pregnancy is getting bigger she can not hide anymore.

"Be careful, we'll miss you a lot." Madina said, there was Vano and Jack there.

"Ah, like I'm going anywhere. I just moved in the apartment. And the apartment's not far from here. You guys play there often. Let me not be lonely."

"Of course, we'll play there a lot."

"I'll drive you." Vano said out of pity to see Sasha carrying a suitcase and some stuff with a big belly.

"All right." Sasha said as she hugged Madina and Elena who had just arrived.

"If you need anything, call me. I'll come help you." Elena said.

Sasha nodded and walked with Vano leaving the dormitory.
