I work slowly, every morning I wake up lazy. Bi Gina says this is a pregnant person's birth. Even though my eyes had opened perfectly by now, I was still lying on the bed. Pregnancy that has entered the age of 5 months. It doesn't feel like yes, I was able to get through the last months. And I also routinely check my content. Today is also his schedule. But I checked after school. The doctor said that the fetus is in healthy womb. It's just that fetal development is not good, because maybe I always wear a corset every day. To cover my growing stomach. Holding her tight during school.
I stayed away from my friends, no longer going out often. I just do activities in the apartment room. Munah, he's the one who misses me the most, despite meeting every day. But he really misses holidays and streets even though only around the mall. I refused, for various reasons. And, my dream of building a house for my sisters on the streets has also been achieved. Finally, bi Gina herself took the initiative to give her land, even though I wanted to pay the amount of the land. Bi Gina refused it. Now, they've been raised to be Gina's son. Can school properly because bi Gina asked for help from the village head, then submitted to the government.
I can survive until now, just because bi Gina often supports me. I always give good advice every day. Uh, I can't wait to see the real shape of the baby I'm carrying. All right, I'll start school again this morning.
"Bi? Auntie's here yet?" I came out of the bathroom, already in full uniform. It turned out that bi Gina was already in the room preparing breakfast for me.
"Here, will aunt come home early huh? You see today aunty will hold a prayer at home, commemorating the death of her aunt's husband."
"Oh yeah it's auntie's okay." I continued to compile the textbooks, then brought my breakfast back out. I don't want to eat in my room. If bi Gina has come, I prefer to eat in the kitchen. Talking adds to my appetite.
"Nara, can you come?" I was silent for a while while chewing food, I know actually bi Gina was very hesitant to say that.
"If you can't, it's okay. Aunty will send food here?" Bi Gina continued her work again.
"Bi? It's okay anyway. I'll come." Bi Gina smiled. "Oh yes bi, today is my schedule to check the content. Can auntie call her doctor?"
"really? Oh my aunt until she forgets." Bi Gina walked over towards me. "Grandmother, be well, baby." I can see hearing it. What will my son be like? Is he going to be handsome like Adam? Uh, no, I wasn't expecting me to just fantasize.
"Bi, I'm leaving?"
"Lho, why wasn't breakfast spent?" I shook my head, I was full and there were only two more mouthfuls left on the plate.
I stepped into the elevator. Really, my weight is going up drastically now, my old school uniform is no longer wearable, and I ended up wearing a new uniform that bi Gina bought. All this time I stayed away from all of them, actually I missed gathering as usual. But circumstances are not possible. And somehow on the day of farewell. I definitely can't do any more activities. Be it a vacation with my friends, or celebrating graduation by crossing school uniforms. In fact, that is what each student will do after studying for three years.
I have arrived at school, when dropped off along with Munah who was also just arrived in between by his father. He waved his hand at me. Quickly walking closer, I remained standing on the spot. Let Munah come to me.
"You came quickly today?" I smiled and nodded.
"Have you heard?"
"What news?" While stepping into the class.
"That." Point it at Elena who walked down. Why her? I saw that his face had been very moody these past few days.
"It turns out Adam and Elena broke up."
"Oh!" Munah directly hit my arm, protesting because I didn't ask why? Why did they break up? And who decides?
"Well, why did they break up?" At last able to reach class, I immediately sat down and adjusted my breath that was tight.
"Wahid said it was Adam who mutusin, did not know why and had no cause."
I fell silent, remembering what Adam said a few weeks ago. He'll live alone if I want to live alone forever. I really don't know what that means. And think if Adam was just joking about what he said.
"Eh." I was shocked, reaching into my desk drawer. Heh, then sigh. As usual, to this day there is still chocolate on the table. I peeked, early in the morning. But still no one put. After school, so too. Waiting for who it is, but still nothing. I didn't find that guy at all. Even the shape and characteristics I don't know.
When I pulled the chocolate out, I found a small piece of paper. This isn't paper, I turned it over.
No way, how come there's a little photo of me here? With Iam? What mean! Is he the one who's been putting chocolate on me all this time? Then if yes, then Iam also school here? One school with me? How come??
"Nara? You why?" I quickly put the chocolate with the photo in my bag.
"It's okay."
"That's Adam coming, I'll ask him right away." I pulled out Munah's hand, to not stand up and stay seated in his place.
"Later, you can hold on for a second, can't your little soul?" Munah snorted, I knew he wasn't the only one who was curious. But me too, why would I break off his relationship with Elena, the girl I've known so well. Although it wasn't close, but everyone could judge, what Elena looked like. His life history does not have a behavioral defect.
Until the break, we sat under a tree behind the school. The atmosphere is shady and comfortable, blowing in the breeze that makes me can be hypnotized with drowsiness. Me and Munah even brought snacks here. This is also what Wahid wants, we agreed to ask Adam about it. It's just that I also want to ask this with Adam later, when we're just the two of us. If with Munah and Wahid, Adam could still lie. By giving an unclear reason. But with me, Adam would be honest.
"He calls me every night, asks you. And how did you decide?" Adam was silent, sat down and swung his legs.
"My mom forbids me to date. I can't lie, if I still continue my relationship with Elena, doesn't that mean I'm a dissident child?"
"If you've brought your mother's name, I don't want to protest either." Wahid relented, initially wanting to judge his own friend. The look in his eyes towards the originally unfriendly Adam, had now softened. I can clearly see that.
"I know, Elena's a good girl. But she's also a reckless girl." Adam paused for a moment, then turned to look at me, as if he were just talking to me. Trying to explain only to me. Because Adam knows, if I'm gonna protest later. Not in front of Munah and Wahid.
"He came home once, without my permission. Do you know how my mother reacted? I'm not mad, I just don't like women who haphazardly go into a man's room." This time I could not believe Adam. Elena? Where could he have done that.
"You sure don't believe it?" We simultaneously shook our heads. Then Adam pulled out his phone, showing a picture of Elena sitting on the edge of his bed, when Adam was sleeping so did not know if Elena was in his room.
"My mom just said Adam was sleeping, but Elena asked me where my room was? After mother pointed towards the room, Elena instead came and entered." Wait, this isn't right?
"It's a good thing my mother wasn't surprised to see it, had thought a no-no. Because when Elena came in, she didn't wake me up right away, she sat down and took a selfie." Adam then looked down.
Sometimes, the bad side of other people can't be seen either. Only certain people can know, for example, like Elena and Adam today. And I'm also one of them, see even I can get pregnant with Adam's son. Without anyone else noticing, seeing me and Adam is fine right now.
"Here, don't talk about that anymore. Yeah, maybe Adam wasn't Elena's boyfriend. Our journey is also still long, one day Adam will also find a lover in his college." My speech. And they agreed to hear it.
"Will you come later? Go to school, go to Gina's house. He said today he would hold a prayer at his home, commemorating the death of bi Gina's husband."
"Yes, I want to." Munah was even very excited.
"I'm, I'm Hem." Wahid still thinks.
"No! You have to come!" Munah has clenched his hands. "You're gonna want to meet aunty yesterday, right?" I'm laughing, Auntie? Which aunt?
"You're seriously dating an aunt?" Adam asked, representing a statement as well.
"Eh no! She's not an aunt, just two years older than us? Damn it, I'd like to cook with aunty!"
"Haha. The proof is that she looks like my mother?" Munah, he always does when it comes to Wahid.
"Are you jealous?" Wahid starts teasing Munah.
"Are you jealous? You always protest if I have a boyfriend!" I pulled Adam's arm, hinted to leave, just let them fight here.
And step by step, Wahid and Munah are arguing. Fall each other, boast of yourself. I laughed when I saw their confused faces, seeing that Adam and I were not there.
"I'm sure they're even a match." Huh huh? I was shocked but more to agree the same Adam said this.
"Sister Adam?" Adam and I stopped going, no, but I had to go. It's their business, and Elena's just saying Adam's name, not mine.
"Dam, am I first?"
"Eh, wait. Just be it." Elena's face immediately changed softly, I know how she is at the moment. But, it hurts even more if Elena is in my position. Watching every moment the father of the child I bear with someone else. Even if it was my own will, it still hurt. Sometimes I think, why doesn't Elena get pregnant! After all they are dating, even have a taste and can get married. I am also evil, right? Yes, there are people in this world who are not evil.
"Sir Nara?" It turned out that Elena had not given up, Adam took off his hand. Walked first, leaving Elena and me standing next to the school bathroom.
"Sister? I want to talk, we're sitting there, okay?" Elena pointed at the canteen area. All right, break hours are still left. I followed in her footsteps, I was a woman too and I was sure. If Elena would've talked about Adam.
"Sister, did Adam ever say anything? Like the reason that broke our relationship?" I cleared my throat before speaking, I will say what Adam said earlier. In order not to misunderstand.
"His mother did not allow Adam to date. And, Adam broke up with you after you came to his house, right?" Elena fell silent, then nodded weakly. "Did you also go into Adam's room?" Elena nodded again. It turns out that it was true what Adam said. He's being honest about this, well I don't have to ask him again what's the reason.
"You know, it's not good El. You shouldn't have gone into Adam's room. It made her mother feel scared. What else are you guys the opposite sex who have a relationship."
Ahhhh!! I am ashamed to give you this advice, how can I give you the best advice. While I'm worse than Elena.
"Sister, but I can't get away from Adam."
"Elena, sorry. Only you and Adam can fix it. I'll go first, 'cause the bell's coming in soon." Elena nodded in resignation, I accelerated my pace. I hate being involved in other people's relationships. Friends may be, but how can I force Adam to stay with Elena. Age is also young, dead one grows a thousand. Adam's good-looking, yeah could've been looking a lot better than Elena and me.
***
Watching them play, laughing. I remember my own childhood. Ah yes, the photo. I need to find out who it is! But how. Adam's? I have to ask Adam for help. I looked back, and Adam was walking behind me. Followed by Munah and Wahid.
"You brought my bag!"
"Ih, Munah!
"Sort of why!!"
I could still hear their rantings, which were every second full of debating and quarrels.
"Hey, where's mom?" Yes, they call bi Gina mother.
"Sir Nara?" They came, hugged me. "Mother inside sister." They ran and shouted to call bi Gina. The house looks empty. Is the prayer finished??
"Nara, come on in. Is there Adam too? Wahid, Munah?" We smiled and stepped in, past the bamboo fence yahh neatly arranged in the courtyard of the house bi Gina.
"Bi, I'm asking them it's okay, right?" Bi Gina shook her head and smiled.
"Aunt is happy." Say again.
"Has the show finished?"
"It's, but there's still plenty of food." In this case, usually the happiest is Wahid. People who like free food, eat without spending money. Hadeh, you stupid rich man.
Adam's eyes were wild, staring at the line of photos on the wall of Gina's house. Yes, only once did Adam enter Gina's bi house. I see, after that Adam bowed. Did he see a ghost? But it's impossible, it's obviously still daytime. I turned towards Munah and Wahid, and they had sipped water in the glass to the toilet. His mouth was full of food, chewing on the cake provided by bi Gina.
"Hungry." He said, knowing I saw it without blinking.
"Adam, do you want a drink?" I offered a glass of water. Adam nodded and accepted.
"You want cake?" Adam shakes. Not long after, bi Gina came out again carrying food again. Wow, straight through the face of my greedy friend. Surprisingly, Munah eats a lot but his body is not fat.
"Bi?" Bi Gina turned to look at Adam. "That's aunt's husband, huh?"
"Oh my goodness Adam! You see, the photo alone with bi Gina, yes definitely her husband. Where could be his ex-girlfriend bi Gina." Hus, I hinted with a finger to ask Wahid to be quiet. Because I saw Adam's facial reaction change when I saw the photo.
"Why, Adam knew?" Adam looked at me and nodded. Recognize? I also said that when I saw the photo of Bi Gina's husband. Was bi Gina's husband once a sosmed artist? To the extent that everyone who saw it always said that they knew.
Bi Gina sat down between us. More like facing each other with Adam.
"Whose name is bi?" I'll just listen, but does Adam not know what the name of bi Gina's husband is? I think I mentioned his name before Adam. Did I forget it?
"Suryo Dam." Adam immediately covered his face with both hands, then reopened by scooping it.
My phone suddenly shook, I stood up and walked out of the house. Ah I can miss the news later, who the hell is calling. I grumbled and looked at the phone screen.
"Satria?"
"Hallo?"
"Hi, how are you?"
"Eh well brother."
"It's been a week of not communicating that I've missed? I'm sorry, because I'm busy compiling the secret."
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
And the chat continues, I who when I've been invited to talk like to forget time. Standing across one leg, suddenly smiling at Satria speaking nonchalantly. So far, my relationship has been good with him. Because Satria has known me for a long time never talked about feelings. And his son is also not boring when spoken to.
"So, will you not see me tonight? I'm done with the secret. Ah Nara I also need refreshing, at least breathing in the outside world." Haha, I'm laughing.
"You are crazy, brother. Have you been in jail all this time?"
"Well, don't you want to?" Duh, how is it possible. I can't go anywhere anymore. Covering this pregnancy really torments my mind and body.
"Sir, next time?"
"Nara, please. This once."
"Yes already brother. Brother don't have to pick me up, brother just tell me where we meet, I'll come."
"Yes promise? Eight o'clock, huh?"
"Nara!!" I looked, the phone was still connected. I quickly turned it off.
"Why Munah? Can't you slow down a little bit to call me?"
"You saw Adam!!" I went straight inside. Adam was already crying, crying in bi Gina's arms. Right, I missed the news. God, why can I still laugh.
"Bi, Adam why? Munah, why Adam?" They just shake.
"After asking about bi Gina's husband earlier, Adam immediately cried and his body relaxed." Oh, my God, Adam. What is this.
"Nara, you help Adam first, auntie will get me some wind oil." Bi Gina moved Adam on my lap. I rubbed his face which was currently flooded with tears.
"Dad... Hixes.. Dad.." I called out Adam's name over and over again to open his eyes. Adam did not faint, only that his heart was being shaken at this moment. Why did Adam call his father's name? Does this have anything to do with bi Gina's husband?
"Dad.."
"Nara, try to call Adam's father. He kept calling her." Huh huh? Her dad? Oh my God, how do you explain this?
"Hem, I don't know. Wait until Adam recovers."
"But he kept calling his father, didn't Adam say his father was out of town. Who knows Adam misses him, so he keeps calling his father." His father is gone!!! I really want to scream that way.
"Nara, give me this." Bi Gina gives wind oil. I put it on Adam's nose. So that the aroma of inhaled therapy can neutralize his current condition.
"Jeek.."
"Lho, Nara, what's wrong with you?" I keep wind oil away. Closing my own nose.
"You don't like the smell? Don't you often carry wind oil?" I just shook my head. Munah immediately took my place, taking Adam's place. I walked towards bi Gina's bathroom. It doesn't even feel like breathing in wind oil. In fact, when I was young pregnant I could still smell any scent.
"Jeek.." I kept getting my stomach out, but nothing but water came out.
"Nara?" I turned my head, with a blurred face because there were tears welling up.
"Bi?" My voice is so raucous.
"Is this drinking warm water?" Bi Gina gave me a glass of water.
"Bi, auntie go. Please help Adam, I can do it myself." I was sitting on bi Gina's wooden chair. My body is clearly squeezing now.
Bi Gina looked at me with pity. I nodded, asking him not to. Don't make my friends suspicious.
"Nara?"
"Auntie, I'm fine. Adam's more important now."
"You're important to auntie, you and Adam alike, you're pregnant with her child."
"Kids? Whose son? Who is pregnant? Nara??" Me and bi Gina were instantly speechless when Munah suddenly appeared.
Seriate..
