Turning Point

EIGHTEEN

The latitude parked his matic motor at a pharmacy. He decided to try a personal test to answer all his anxieties.

"Siang mbak, what do you want to find?", asked one of the pharmacy employees

"You're looking for an mba testpack" Lintang replied

The pharmacy employee looked at Lintang with a rather strange look. Lintang also understood the purpose of the employee.

"I'm married" said Lintang while taking out the wedding book from the bag he was carrying

The employee gasped and smiled feeling bad

"I'm sorry mbak, oh do you want a testpack of what brand?",

"Hemmm the usual people just buy mbak" replied Lintang. The pharmacy employee nodded.

Before long the employee approached Lintang with a sen****f brand testpack.

"For how to use it is behind the packaging, yes mbak" said the employee.

"Thank you mbak" replied Lintang

Lintang left the apothecary while wasting a rough breath.

Fortunately I brought a marriage book, if not for sure it was thought that it was not.

*******************

Agum was busy on his desk after he finished delivering the package. Make daily reports in and out of packages that he intersects today. Accompanied by Mr. Yono who also checked again.

"Are all sir?", asked Agum to Mr Yono

"Already Gum, all have entered the report" replied Mr. Yono

"Gum, called Ibra to his room" Aan said, carrying some documents in his hand.

"What did An, why did Ibra call me?" asked Agum in surprise

"Lacking to know me, I've entered there may be something important" replied Aan.

Agum stood up from his seat, then waltzed away. Agum climbed the stairs to Ibra's room located on the second floor.

Tok.dok... Agum knocked on Ibra's door.

"Get in" replied someone in the room who was none other than Mr. Ibra

"Father called me?", asked Agum

"Sit down first Gum!", orders Ibra sir

Agum sat his body in a chair. And face off with Mr. Ibra.

"What is the need sir?", asked Agum directly at the main point.

"You know Gum, if this month Mr. Sungsang transferred to Semarang?", asked Mr Ibra

"Yes sir, I have heard the news since three months ago" replied Agum

"Because the current position of KaOp in the Jogja region office is empty, then you will replace the position of Mr. Sungsang, Gum" said Mr. Ibra

"Why am I sir, why not the others?, here the more senior ones right?", asked Agum in a slightly surprised tone

"It's not about senior or junior Gum, it's about work ethic. I see you've been a hard worker, so I'm promoting you to the post, and the head office approves it" Ibra explained

"This is your SK Gum, please accept, and hopefully you can carry this trust well", continued Ibra while handing over SK to Agum.

Agum accepted the SK. He was stunned as if he did not believe that from today he would rise to office. And of course the work will be lighter but the responsibility will be greater.

"Congratulations Gum!", said Mr. Ibra as he extended his hand

"Thank you very much sir", replied Agum, shaking Ibra's hand

Agum out of the room Mr. Ibra still with a feeling of lack of trust. He saw the SK in his hand. A smile on his lips and then he kissed the SK.

Thank God wa thank goodness, he said in his heart.

**********************

The latitude is busy in the bathroom. Since then, he just pushed back the packaging of the tespack in his hand. It is not that he does not understand how to use it but he is still afraid that the late arrival of the month is just a regular late and not due to pregnancy factors.

The latitude also breathed deeply. No need to linger, he thought. The faster it gets the better. He put his urine in a small container. He made sure the pregnancy test kit was not reversed, then he dipped it into the container. Ten seconds he dipped the device, then he placed it in a flat place, to wait for the results.

A minute passed, Lintang glanced at the testpack. How surprised he was to see the red line that had only been one, now turned into two, but one line did not look too striking. But she was convinced that she was pregnant at the moment. He rushed out of the bathroom

"Alhamdulillah, O Allah" said Lintang lirih while gluing his face to the floor like a person who was prostrating.

**********************

Agum returned to his desk feeling happy. The shock he felt in the room of Mr. Ibra earlier now changed into gratitude and happiness that was immeasurable.

"What is Gum?", asked Mr. Yono

Agum smiled as he showed his SK. Pak Yono observed closely. Then he smiled.

"Waaahhh congratulations, Gum, finally rising as well as you" said Mr. Yono while shaking Agum's hand

"Thank you sir", he replied.

"Will after marriage is his name Gum, hopefully trust yes", continued Yono sir. Agum nodded

Other employees have heard of Agum's appointment as KaOp, and they congratulate Agum on his success.

"Assalamu'alaikum dear" said Agum when he reached home

"Wa'alaikumsalam mas", Lintang answered while kissing the back of her husband's hand

Agum kissed the tip of his wife's head did not forget the right cheek as well as the left latitude he also kissed. Then step foot into their private room.

"Honey, mas have good news for you" said Agum while hugging Lintang's body from behind.

"What is mas?", asked Lintang a little surprised when she planned to tell him about her pregnancy but instead was preceded by news from Agum.

"In a moment", said Agum as he ran towards the box car he parked in the yard to pick up something. The latitude is just too.

Soon, Agum returned to his room.

"It's dear, open it" Agum ordered while giving the brown envelope to the Latitude.

The latitude opened the envelope. He took out the contents. There is one sheet of paper that there is also a sign written there. He read carefully, trying to understand what was written on the paper. His lips were bent to form an arch of a smile.

"I-this mas Agum rising office?", asked Lintang to make sure. Agum nodded too.

"Alhamdulillah, O Allah", continued Lintang by shedding tears

Agum hugged his wife's body and then wiped her tears. Giving a sweet smile.

Lintang tried to stretch Agum's embrace. She looked at her husband's two eyes.

"Adek also has something for mas" said Lintang.

Agum scrunched his forehead "What is that dear?"

Lintang took something that had been in his pocket, then he handed it to Agum.

"What is this dear?", asked Agum while showing the testpack in his hand

"See how many red lines are there?", asked the Latitude back

"Two" replied Agum

"Yes two", said Lintang curious Agum

"Then why two, dear?", asked Agum anxious

Lintang smiled then whispered something into Agum's ear

"If the line is two, it means soon, you'll be a father",

Agum's eyes widened to hear the Latitude's words.

"Are pregnant?", asked Agum to confirm

"Yes, I'm pregnant" replied the sparkling star

Agum then lowered his body. Kissing the floor then rubbing his hands against his face. A drop of tears escaped from her eyelids.

"Thank God for all the blessings You have given us today, O God", he said after making a prostration of gratitude.

Agum then approached his wife. Hugged him tightly as if to say that he was so happy.

"Thank you dear. Thank you for being willing to conceive a child. Take care of your health, baby", said Agum. The latitude also nodded.

Agum put his hand to the flat belly of Lintang. While looking at him closely

"It's good in your stomach, baby" he said
