The Hijrah of Almaira Ghilbert

Chapter 42: Sympathetic Pregnancy

"Owweekk..."

Maira woke up at 3am hearing someone in the bathroom like they were about to vomit "Maass.. Mas Abi's"

Maira immediately entered the bathroom and saw her husband had drooped in front of their toilet seat, Maira was surprised and immediately touched her husband's forehead "Stop, maybe the gas in the wind, let me help"

Maira helps her husband stand up just now until the bathroom door hasn't come out yet Fabian returns nauseous and his bowels like he's in a stir, Maira is clearly panicking what's going on with her husband

Then back to memapah Fabian whose body was very weak either how much stomach contents he released

"What's the pain?" maira asked with concern

"My stomach is nauseous, it's very nauseous" he replied limp and his face was very pale

After performing the morning prayers, Fabian this time did not go to the mosque because they did not walk strong finally pray congregation in the room, Fabian now back to the mattress in a state still wearing a sarong & Maira went to the kitchen to make her husband breakfast

Maira came to her room with a bowl of chicken porridge and warm tea "Mas wake up first yuk, breakfast and drink first his tea"

Maira helped to sit Fabian down to sit back and gave him 1 more pillow to make his husband comfortable, Fabian drank his tea but when he saw the porridge again the nausea came "Keep it away from me I'm so nauseous to see and smell it"

Maira frowned "I want to go to bed again if I don't want to eat, if Nick comes to say handle my job"

then Fabian went back to sleep on an empty stomach, only to get a cup of tea that Maira made earlier

the clock is set at 10 am :

"Mas is up?" asked Maira who saw her husband had sat and was watching television, and who Maira surprised her husband watching cooking shows, since when the former mafia watch him cook wkwk...

"I want that one.." Fabian pointed towards the small bowl of starfruit on the television show

Maira widened her eyes in disbelief, "what is serious? you know what that feels like?"

Fabian knew he only lifted his shoulders "well, but it seemed like a seger"

"That tastes sour mas. mas sure want to eat it?

Fabian just nodded his head, Maira just squinted her eyes to make sure whether her husband was joking or just thinking about her

Maira immediately went into the kitchen looking for what her husband wanted, when Maira had found what she was looking for, she rushed straight to the room and found her husband was still in the same position

"This.mas" Maira thrust a plate containing starfruit that tastes sour

Fabian his eyes immediately sparkled, Maira still could not believe what she saw was her husband devoured one by one starfruit that felt sour it made Maira repeatedly swallow her saliva.

"Assalamualaikum darling.." Mama Sintia who had come and entered the room of her daughter-in-law after getting news Fabian was sick from Maira

"Waalaikumussalam.let's go in mah"

"Bi.. are you okay, son?" asked Mama Sintia and repeatedly touched the forehead of the eldest child, but did not find if the child was sick or fever

His mother only shook his head "Abi does not hurt anything, just nausea continues" he said

The second day, when until 1 week his condition was getting worse, Maira finally contacted the aerospace family doctor Paul

"Good day Mba Maira" said Paul when he entered their room with Bi Asih

After checking using a stethoscope "Normal condition is fine, the temperature is also normal"

"What is Mas Abi feeling now?"

"I was nauseous and kept docking, whether it was smelling food scents, perfumes and other pungent smells" Fabian said

"It looks like it must be taken to the hospital immediately" said Dr. Paul directed to Maira to immediately take her to the hospital

"The doctor said I'm okay, so why go to the hospital?" asked Fabian did not end up thinking with the doctor trust Papah

"Yes, Abi, this should be checked by Obgyn's doctor"

*Yes God doc, high school whatnot*Mabian murmured in his heart for sure

"What did my husband do at the doctor's office?"

So this is what is called Couvade Syndrome or more familiar with sympathetic pregnancy, where a wife who is pregnant but her husband feels the effects of the pregnancy, which is, as mentioned by Mas Fabian

Maira immediately grabbed her phone to see when she last menstruated, then suddenly her mouth gaping behind the veil plus she covered it with one hand

Fabian wondered what Paul's doctor said "I mean my wife's doctor is pregnant?"

Doctor Pau nodded his head "For more to be clear immediately consult a gynecologist"

After Paul's doctor said goodbye, Maira was still standing in disbelief because she only realized it was 2 weeks late

"Dear you're pregnant?" Maira still shook her head "well, but I was late for the moon"

Sontak made Fabian's face flowery, "I'm sure you're pregnant" Fabian immediately contacted his personal assistant

"Hallo nick. please buy a pregnancy test when passing the pharmacy"

Nick

"Okay sir" said Nick from a phone call

Maira was still sitting quietly hoping for anxiety, in contrast to Fabian's face despite pale but radiated happiness there, Maira was not ready to get pregnant, but not ready to get pregnant, just worried about this erratic menstrual cycle and then make her husband disappointed after exuding happiness

________________

Nick entered a pharmacy

"Is there anything we can help you with, sir?" ask the pharmacist

"I'm looking for a pregnancy test"

"What brand you want sir, I have this, this and this" the pharmacist gave 3 different brand options

"I took three of them"

**

now Maira and Fabian are in the living room waiting for Nick, after hearing the sound of Nick's car comes Fabian who is most excited to welcome him and put on a cheerful and happy face

"Good morning sir" Nick said, handing the bag of crackle from the pharmacy to his boss

"Darling..this, the test is now yes"

Maira just looked at her husband with a forced smile behind her veil hoping that she would actually become pregnant

Not waiting long, Maira also entered the bathroom on the lower floor with the equipment needed to hold her urine and 3 testpacks to get accurate results

After nearly 10 minutes in the bathroom while Fabian was still pacing back and forth in front of the bathroom door, it was still heard by her husband Maira several times

Maira came out of the bathroom with a listless face and looked at her husband's face
