Hanafi. He then landed his butt in an iron chair lined up in the waiting room. After making sure her husband was comfortable, Halimah went to the pharmacy counter to submit a prescription from a doctor.
Halimah waited for a while. While waiting, he pulled out his son's mobile phone. Halimah tried to contact Niram to inform her husband's health development.
Halimah's forehead crinkled when her phone connection did not get an answer. For a moment, he glanced at the wall clock that was in the puskesmas. The time indicator stops at 12 through 20 minutes.
"Hmm, maybe Niram is still working" murmured Halimah.
"Mr Hanafi!" call the pharmacy clerk.
Sontak Halimah got up from her seat and approached the drug-taking counter. After listening to the information from the officer, Halimah then put the medicine in her bag.

Somewhere else.
"Are you ready, Nir?" asked Yura who saw Niram still sitting pensively on the edge of the bed.
Getting Yura's question, Niram immediately looked up. He looked at Yura with a gaze that made Yura feel concerned.
"What if I'm pregnant, ma'am?" ask Niram.
Yura then crouched down in front of Niram. He held his best friend's hands.
"Not to worry, Nir. Everything will be fine" Yura said.
"But, Ma'am ...."
"Calm down. I will always be there for you. We're gonna face this life together, okay?" continued Yura.
Niram nodded.
"Yes, let's go!"
Yura turned Niram towards the front porch. He asked Niram to sit down. Shortly after, an online taxi ordered by Yura arrived. With painstaking care, Yura again asked Niram to enter his online taxi.

"Lake in!" mona orders from inside her room.
Chequek!
Door opens. Halim also asked permission to enter.
"What's up, Mr Halim?" ask Mona.
"Emh, Sorry, Mom. If allowed, I would like to ask permission to go home first" said Halim, worried.
"What's wrong, Mr Halim?" ask Mona.
"I just got a call from my son's school. He said my son was vomiting at school, Mom. And now, the school is taking him to the hospital. I want to see my son in the hospital, Mom," Halim said.
"Oh, yes already then, you should immediately go to the hospital. But first, please order one of your men to handle all your work today" replied Mona.
"Yes, Mom. I have asked Akhtam to replace me" replied Halim.
"Yes, if everything is safe, you can go. After all, children should take precedence first" Mona continued.
"Yes, Mom. Thanks for understanding. Then, I'll resign."
After being invited home, Halim drove her vehicle to a public hospital where her son was examined.

Niram was no longer able to hear the words of the obstetrician. His head began to feel heavy. His eyes were twitching. His body's getting limp. The news of the pregnancy she had just heard, seemed to have plucked the spirit from her body. His breathing is getting stifling. Niram's body dropped.
"Eh, Niram!" peekik Yura's.
"Astaghfirullah, what's the matter, Ra?" ask the gynecologist.
"Ish, why did the doctor even ask me, anyway? Doesn't the doctor know the patient's condition?" yura's snort looked annoyed.
"Yes, let's lay him down, Ra," the gynecologist continued.
With great difficulty, Yura and the obstetrician named Doctor Suhendar, laid Niram's body on the examination bed. Dr. Suhendar checked Niram's heartbeat again. For a moment, the middle-aged doctor fused his eyebrows together when he found Niram's irregular heartbeat.
"It looks like she's in shock with her pregnancy, Doc" Niram said.
"Shock?" repeated Doctor Suhendar, "shouldn't he be happy to hear this glad news?" coined.
"Of course he's happy, Doc. So happy, she was surprised and fainted at the news of her pregnancy" Yura said.
"Ah, yes. Maybe she is moved because soon she will become a mother," continued Dr. Suhendar.
"Yup! It could be," said Yura, did not want to make the obstetrician feel suspicious about the true state of Niram.
"Nh ...."
As Yura and Doctor Suhendar were conversing, Niram suddenly muttered. Apparently he's human. Suddenly Doctor Suhendar and Yura turned their eyes to Niram.
"Are you okay, Nir?" ask Yura.
Niram nodded.
"It's better, Ma'am was copied last night two nights," suggested Dr. Suhendar.
"No, Doc. I want to go home," refused Niram.
"Well, I can't force it. However, if you really want to be outpatient, you should follow my words. Take the medicine and vitamins regularly, eat a balanced nutritious diet, get enough rest, and do not forget. Understood!" said Doctor Suhendar full of emphasis.
"Good, Doc. I understand," replied Niram, shrill.
"Doctor take it easy, I will be his personal sister," Yura added, puffing her chest.
"Hahaha, .. I believe in you, Ra!" reply Doctor Suhendar.
After prescribing drugs and vitamins, Dr. Suhendar finally allowed his patients to go home.

In front of the pharmacy. Halim narrowed her eyes when she saw a girl sitting. The girl's face looked very pale. However, the look on his face reminded him of the long-lost figure.
"Ish, there's no way that girl's Niram. His clothing style was not the same as Niramku's, either" Halim muttered trying to deny his sight.
"Niram Kirana!"
The call at the apothecary counter instantly made Halim's heart beat fast. He circulated his gaze, looking at who the person who was about to come forward to fulfill the call was.
Halim frowned, as she looked at the stranger who was walking towards the medicine counter.
"Ish, it's not Niram my niece. Uh, why the name could be the same," muttered Halim looking disappointed.
"Sick, Pa," whined Rayyan while holding her stomach.
"Yes, be patient, son. We wait for the cure first, after that, we go home and rest," replied Halim, trying to calm her son.
"Denger yes, Niram. Anyway, I don't want to hear your objection anymore. You have to rest a lot so that the child in your womb, can grow healthy," said Yura while memapah Niram walk.
"Yes-yes, Ma'am," replied Niram.
Halim was surprised to hear a familiar voice in her ears. Suddenly he looked up to see the owner of the voice. His forehead frowned when he saw two long-haired girls.
Niram don't wear a hijab? B-but why does his voice look so similar to my nephew? inner Halim.
To confirm his vision, Halim shouted calling out the name of his nephew.
"Nurricane!"
One of the two girls in tight clothes turned his head.
Deg-deg-deg!
