THE MAFIA'S PENANCE

SOMETHING IMPOSSIBLE

When I open my eyes in the morning, I feel like the world is going round and round. And my throat was feeling bad at the moment, so I immediately rushed to the bathroom and vomited. There's nothing I spit out and only water because since yesterday I didn't lust to eat so I didn't eat dinner.

I don't think I'm okay right now. I hurried to get the phone on the bedside table, about to call Renata. Yesterday he didn't exist because that's why I who felt unwell yesterday haven't been examined.

"What's up, Viv? It's still too early." Renata said on the other end of the phone.

I can hear that Renata is with Arthur right now because Arthur's voice is rumored to be disturbed by my phone. That means Renata is already in my house and is currently in my brother's room.

"Ren, come to my room. I feel so fucked up right now."

It didn't take long, Renata came along with Arthur who seemed worried about me. Worried that Arthur came in wearing only his sleeping pants and bare chest while Renata only wore a towel robe.

"What's Viv?" Ask Arthur who moves near me who is lying down.

Instantly I felt nauseous once again and quickly walked to the bathroom and vomited again. It was very painful because there was nothing I could vomit because there was nothing in my stomach. The gunshot wound also felt pain.

"Viv, did you eat wrong?" Asked Renata who was standing behind me while rubbing my back that was vomiting in the sink.

I immediately washed my mouth to answer Renata's question. Arthur who was standing in the bathroom doorway also looked at me with an anxious look.

"Since yesterday I've barely eaten anything due to lack of appetite, there's no way I'm food poisoning." I answered while walking out and sitting on my bed again. "Actually since these two weeks I have no appetite and only a little eating. But since yesterday it feels like my condition is worse."

"What's wrong with her, Ren? Quickly check him out." Arthur stood by the bed.

Renata sat on the side of the bed and looked at me fixedly. I could see that she could already tell what was happening to me because there was no worried look on her face. That's very strange.

"When was the last time you menstruated?" Ask Renata.

The question surprised me so much, as well as Arthur who immediately scrunched his forehead. Strange as it may seem, I try to remember the last time I menstruated.

"I don't remember." I answered because I almost never noticed such a trivial thing. "Maybe last month."

"What does that mean, Ren?" Arthur asked confusedly.

"There's a chance you're pregnant." Renata answered, showing her smile.

"What?" I was very surprised by his answer. "That's impossible, Ren."

I can't believe Renata's words just like that. It was impossible, even I never thought about it if I was going to get pregnant.

"You said back then that Vernon forced you to make love, right?" Look Renata.

"Fuck that son of a bitch." Angry Arthur who looks angry at hearing Vernon forcing you to make love to him. "Would take Vivian to Ren's hospital, if she's pregnant, just drop it. The two of them will be separated there's no way she'll give birth to that son of a bitch."

Hearing Arthur's words I turned to him. His words I cannot accept, there is no way I can abort my son. However, if I am pregnant, this is also my son. But I don't want to say anything right now.

"Well, it's six in the morning, ten in the morning we're going to the hospital, Viv." Renata stood up and held Arthur's arm, still visibly irritated. "Now that you rest first, I'll have the waiter bring you some food. Your stomach shouldn't be empty, it'll make you feel more pain when you vomit."

Now my feelings are not good. I am scared at this moment. If I get pregnant, then everything goes bad. We were both going to split up and that was what I had hoped for from the beginning, but somehow after I hadn't seen him for a month, it made me not want us to be apart. Added to my situation now. If I'm really pregnant, I don't want to be separated from Vernon.

Hearing Arthur's words made me afraid. He looked serious when he said about aborting my womb. I don't want to do it but if me and Vernon part ways it seems I should do it.

"How are you doing, Viv?" Renata went back into my room after I woke up from my short sleep. It's almost ten in the morning.

"I think it's better after breakfast and taking the vitamins. After sleeping for a while I also feel healthy." I answered while sitting. "It looks like you're wrong Ren, I'm not pregnant."

Renata laughed at my words. I said that on purpose so we wouldn't have to go to the hospital to check it out. Arthur asked Renata to abort him immediately if I was pregnant. And I don't want that to happen. It seems that Renata knows what I mean by saying that.

"Didn't you want to abort it?" Renata asked after sitting on the side of the bed looking at me. "You know? To be honest I don't want to do it, but I feel really happy that you're really pregnant, Viv. But if you part with Vernon, we better follow what your brother says.

I didn't answer right away because I was still confused thinking about what I should do right now. To be honest right now all I want is to meet Vernon, but it seems like he doesn't care about me either. He didn't answer all my calls yesterday, and neither did my messages.

"Viv, don't part with her." Renata.

Suddenly there was a noise that grew louder and louder. The door of my room was not closed so clearly the sound was heard even some guards running towards the source of the sound.

"What's wrong?" I'm confused.

"The sound is from the outside, like the sound of a helicopter." Answer Renata.

Renata and I immediately came out following some guards who seemed to run towards the front garden of the house with guns. When I got out of the house I saw a helicopter just landing and the propeller was still spinning for a while before slowly starting to stop making a big whirlwind.

Arthur stood closest to the helicopter with several guards on standby with their guns. Renata and I walked closer to Arthur.

At the same time someone came down from the helicopter whose propeller almost stopped turning. Seeing the figure that came down made me smile without me noticing.

"Sorry Art, your beautiful garden is ruined." Vernon cried while opening the sunglasses he was wearing.
