The Red Thread of Destiny

Chapter 17

For days Alenka avoided Andreas. Andreas tries to be ordinary. But, Alenka was still feeling annoyed.

"What's wrong with Mr Andreas?" ask Maya who is beginning to feel that Alenka is not what she used to be.

"Not why." replied Alenka not yet want to confess.

"So, how from yesterday my body is not good, it feels nauseous to want to vomit?" ask Alenka.

"You sick?"

"I don't know, but it feels like vomiting and lemes." replied Alenka.

"What if you check?" Maya looks so worried.

"Guard your health, Al. If you are sick, who will take care of you? You don't have a brother." Maya said very worried about Alenka's situation.

"Sir Maya Dong took care of me."

"I want to, but not always there for you. Anyway, I'll take you to the doctor!" Maya forced Alenka to see a doctor.

"No need to brother. I will go to the doctor myself. Sis Maya said she wants to dinner with Yoga?"

"Yes anyway. But I'm worried about you. I'm anther!"

"No need to brother. Maya doesn't have to worry!" Alenka still rejects Maya's kindness. It's nothing, because Alenka doesn't want to disturb Maya's happy moment. She was already very happy to have a friend like Maya who was already like her own sister.

"Really?" Alenka nodded her head quickly.

Alenka returned to her desk after lunch. However, he was surprised to see Sisil who was angry indistinctly. After receiving the phone call, Sisil ran towards the toilet. The curious Alenka immediately followed him.

"You have to take responsibility! If you don't marry me! I killed this kid!" sisil said with someone behind the phone.

Alenka's eyes are round. He doesn't believe what he hears. Is that plain and innocent Sisil. Alenka even pinched her own hand to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Actually, Alenka didn't mean to eavesdrop. He was just wondering why Sisil was so angry. He was afraid that something was bothering Sisil. Because Sisil is innocent, Alenka intends to help him if he is really disturbed.

However, he did not expect that he would hear the conversation. Alenka pensively for a moment. After that he pretended to pee too.

"Who's inside?" tanyakanya.

Shortly thereafter. Sisil came out of the toilet with red and slightly swollen eyes. Looks like Sisil just cried.

Seeing that Alenka started asking. "You why? You cry? Who would dare to disturb you?" tanyakanya.

Sisil instead of answering directly hugged Alenka. "Al.." she sighed.

"Why? Who's the bad guy for you?" Alenka hugged Sisil and stroked Sisil's shoulder-length hair.

Sisil and Alenka have been friends for a long time. Since Alenka worked at the company. Sisil is a close friend of Alenka besides Maya. They also often share their joys and sorrows.

"I'm pregnant with Al.." said Sisil.

"Pregnant? With who?" ask Alenka.

Why did Alenka ask who. Because so far Sisil seems never close to men. It's just that time Sisil never told me if he had acquaintances who he knew through social media. But they've never met.

"You remember Bayu? My acquaintance I've been telling you about?" Alenka nodded her head. Yes, Bayu is Sisil's acquaintance from social media.

"A month ago we met. We are attracted to each other at first sight. Then we both do that." recalls Sisil who seemed to regret what had happened.

"So far, we do it more often. Until I realized I hadn't come in months, then I checked it was right, I was pregnant." continued Sisil while crying.

Alenka's eyes were wide. He also just remembered that he had not come by the moon as well. Maybe she is pregnant too. Because lately he felt his body was a bit strange.

Yes, Alenka was determined to check. Who knew she was actually pregnant, because Samuel had never used safety all this time.

Suddenly Alenka's smile expands. If she's pregnant, she's very happy. He will have the fruit of love with Samuel, the man he loves.

"So she wants responsibility?" ask Alenka.

"Say he will propose to me soon." replied Sisil.

****

Alenka told her how she felt to the doctor who examined her. Then the doctor asked Alenka to do a blood check.

"Better a blood check, to be clearer!" doctor says.

"Yes doc." Alenka.

And, after waiting for a while. The doctor said something that made Alenka jump with excitement.

"From the lab results the mistress tested positive for pregnancy. Age of the womb enters the fifth week. Congratulations" said the doctor.

At that moment, Alenka's heart instantly surged. He was really happy with the news. Unknowingly his hand stroked his stomach gently.

"But, madam, don't be so tired! Given the age of the womb is still very young. Take a lot of vitamins." the doctor then wrote some vitamin prescriptions for Alenka to take.

Alenka was really happy. He can't even speak. Only his hands did not stop stroking his stomach.

"Next check, hope her husband is invited!" the doctor said again.

"Nice doc."

Alenka came home happy. He'll surprise Samuel when he gets home. "Muel must be very happy. This is what we had hoped for all along." muttered Alenka feeling very pleased.

****

At home, Alenka couldn't wait to tell Samuel about her pregnancy. He didn't want to tell her over the phone. Instead of wanting to tell her directly about her pregnancy. He wanted to see Samuel's happy expression.

Alenka cooked first. As usual he waited for Samuel in the living room after he finished cooking.

However, Samuel is a little late coming home tonight. The food was almost cold, but Samuel still didn't come home.

Alenka pacing back and forth waiting for Samuel. Because Samuel didn't reply to his chat either. Of course Alenka became anxious. I was afraid that something would happen to Samuel.

Alenka looked back at the examination paper. He returned a small smile. "Wait, son, your papa will know where you are. Mama sure papa you love you so much." muttered Alenka back stroking her stomach.

Around 8 p.m. Apartment door open. Samuel came home with a crumpled face. Ah, maybe because of the amount of work, Alenka thought.

As usual, Alenka greeted Samuel happily. "You're home yet? You got a lot of work?" tanyanya while releasing Samuel's coat.

"Hmmm.." Samuel only smiled slightly as he nodded his head.

"Bring first, keep eating!" Alenka.

Samuel nodded his head again. Then he went to the bathroom to take a shower. Then back to the dining table. "There's something I want to say" he said.

"I also happen to have something to say. That's what you are first!" Alenka.

Samuel's face suddenly changed. He pulled out a piece of invitation paper. Samuel pushed the invitation in front of Alenka.

"This what?" ask Alenka.

"The wedding favor."

"Whose wedding? You want to take me to this invitation?" Alenka still doesn't understand.

"My marriage is welcome." replied Samuel quietly.

Alenka still misunderstood. She thought it was her wedding invitation to Samuel. A smile widened, but he had yet to open the invitation.

"Five more days I'm getting married. I hope you can attend!" continued Samuel.

At the same time Alenka had opened the invitation. There was Samuel's name with another woman.

"What do you mean Muel?" alenka asked still wanting to think positively.

"I'm going to marry another woman. So from now on we break up!"
