CHAPTER 3. FINISH YOUR JOB !



I cooked tom yam. Wanna?" Santi offered Lodi.


The smell of fresh shrimp broth united with spices is really tempting.


"Clear dong."


Lodi pulled the chair excitedly. Santi took a bowl and spoon.


"Hm, the smell is.." said Lodi, as he closed his mouth. His nose sniffed passionately.


Santi smiled at Lodi's enthusiasm. Not in vain as soon as it has been to the market looking for fresh shrimp and squid.


Hook ....


Hook ....


Just two spoons of tomato sauce coming in, Lodi's nauseous. Run away from tom yam. Then vomit in the bathroom.


"Lod, what's wrong with you? My tom yam feeling is fine. The shrimp and squid I was wearing were all fresh."


Lodi. Face pias. Tom yam who was teasing just now was terrifying.


"Lod, don't-don't you ...."


Lodi's face looks even more pale. Santi did not until the heart finished the sentence. Lodi. His face is getting louder.


"When was the last month?"


Lodi gulped, "I thought it was stress so it didn't come months."


"So when is it late?"


Lodi grabbed her own hair. Trying to think about when the last month came.


"I have a test pack. You tested, huh?"


Lodi agrees. Shortly after, he stepped out of the bathroom. The pias settled on his face.


"You really, San. Positive."


Lodi showed the results of a test pack with two blue stripes. Santi went pale.


"What should I do?"


***


Puking tone again. Nape the nape of his new wife.


"Not much thought."


Stirring tone. I'm handing the order over to the judge. Mom kisses stiffly. No one chooses a wedding dress. My mother-in-law did not come. How not the mind?


"If our child is born, everything will be fine" comforted Sumbang.


"Check yuk, Mas."


"Can."


"To whom?"


"Dr. Just rahma."


Bakda asar Nada and discord check to doctor Rahma, the only female obstetrician in Pekalongan. The clinic is always crowded.


After registering, Nada entered. His eyes swept across the room looking for an empty seat that could be occupied. Nada's Retina caught a figure she was very familiar with.


"Bak Lodi?"


***


"Seriously, Lod?" santa asked seriously.


"Yes that. You think I'm halu?"


"Then?"


"We greeted each other like two strangers."


Lodi. Shown by her shocked face Nada. Had he known, he would have chosen another day to check.


"Bak Lodi's pregnant too?"


Lodi. I was trying to hide this from anyone. Except Santi and Umay.


"Geeh."


Silently ambushed. Lodi's trying to find a magazine. Usually, there is a lot of it in the waiting room of the doctor. But times change. Not a book, but free WiFi.


"Be-ra-pa ming-gu?"


Tone asked very sternly.


"Eitherway. Probably almost the same as you."


Lodi shifted her seat to the edge. The sofa becomes more loose.


"Sit down here. Your seat is hard."


Tone according. His eyes suddenly warmed. 'Lodi's mother hasn't changed, always looking her best for Nada.'


Clot!


The crutches that Nada wears fall when leaned against the handle of the chair. Lodi got up and leaned against the wall.


"Nad, don't talk to Mom. I mean, I'm the one talking to myself."


"What's the matter, Ma'am?"


"So I'm pregnant."


"Eh, iy .. Yes Ma'am."


***


Lodi. "I don't see him."


"Where are you going to have her tone?"


"No. Make what ...."


***


Three sohib Santi, Lodi and Umay gather again. This time at Umay's house. Ngerujak.


"If you refer to me, Lod?" ask Santi.


"That means Sumbang must divorce Nada. He can only choose one. They are sodara" replied Umay.


"O, that's it."


"I'm just confused how to tell my mom."


"Lod, how do you feel about this pregnancy?" ask Umay.


"Honestly, I'm fucked. I waited for this moment for almost three years. But so pregnant ...."


Umay embraces Lodi.


"At that moment of waiting, what do you imagine of having a child?"


"much. Shopping for kids clothes. To the beach threesome with Mas Sumbang. We hang out three while we bring each other's children."


"If you imagine again shopping for children's clothes. Also hang out the three of us. Does it still mean anything to you?"


"Obviously."


"Well, Lod. Imagine that thing. So that your heart is happy too. Just now, you're delivering the pregnant news to mom. If you say it happily, so does your mother."


Lodi hugs Umay. Santi hugged both of them. The name is friend, not timid by age.


***


"Sir, how did I see your car in the clinic dr. Rahma?" ask Beetle.


"Oh, that. Yes, anu," said Nada nervously.


"He checked?"


"E, yes. Send his friend a check."


Be silent. Tone took a long breath.


'Mas, if you knew Lodi was pregnant with your child... What will happen to me?'


Tone asked in the heart. A question that disturbed his heart. Publish worry.


'Mas, don't ever leave me. I'm not as strong as Lodi.'


***


Time is money, said the trader. That time was a reward, said the worship expert. When did it become a sword?


"Sorry, my husband is home. Three days outside. I can't drive you" said Santi.


"I am in the morning with the Qur'an" said Umay.


"Okay, no problem."


In the end, Lodi chose to shop for her own baby clothes. Keep trying to enjoy even though the heart is still painful sometimes.


"Be happy with every pregnancy you get. Allaah entrusts a life to our womb, the women. Isn't that an amazing job?" Umay.


Lodi deliberately did not ask about the gender of her child during the USG. Let it be a surprise. Whatever the type, Lodi still choose green.


Lodi bought a blanket, a small mattress, a tenteng bag and several sets of baby clothes. Arriving at the cashier the officer told me: "It has been paid by the father."


Lodi saw the father in question. Be down.


The two met each other's eyes. Momentary. Lodi immediately lowered her head. He involuntarily stroked his stomach which looked enlarged. Not too obvious either.


"Sorry, I just found out you're pregnant too."


"Oh."


"When did you know you were pregnant?" ask Beetle.


"That's important to you?" Lodi asked back.


"You should have told me from the beginning."


"For what?"


"I'm his father anyway, right?"


Sumbang said as he brought his lips closer to Lodi's ear. Spontaneous Lodi moved away while sneering cynically.


"I can take care of it myself. Don't worry."


Don't support Lodi's protest. He took all the things he had bought. Then take her to the car.


Lodi unlocks the car, opens the door and enters. Donate stuff into the trunk and then get closer to the driver's door.


"Be careful, Brother." Sumbang's body bent so that his face was beside the window.


Lodi turned his head, looking at Sumbang sharply.


"Remember, I'm now your sister-in-law. Call me Ma'am."


Fell up spit. Look at the window that is slowly closing. The car immediately drove under the gaze of a sad eye.


'Ah, if time could be rotated to the past ...'
