183 Days of Being a Lover
57. Positively

Rahma awoke from her sleep. He looked at the clock on the wall when it showed four o'clock in the morning. He looked to the side, Rendi was sleeping soundly. Rahma moved from the bed to the sofa. He pulled out the testpack from the bag. He took the testpack to the bathroom.

Rahma b*ang a*r small while accommodating a little ur*ne in a small cup. Then he put the testpack into the cup. Rahma keeps the cup in a safe place and then she cleans up. Finish cleaning yourself Rahma back to see the testpack. After feeling enough time he took the testpack and saw the results.

How shocked Rahma was when she saw two red gatis in the testpack. Rahma's feelings were mixed between shock, delight and confusion. Shocked because she was pregnant. Happy because without having to wait for long Allah SWT gave offspring for himself and Rendi. Confused, why she does not experience nausea and vomiting like other pregnant women.

Rahma put the testpack into the testpack wrap and then washed her hands and brought the testpack wrap out of the bathroom. Rahma approached the bed and sat down next to Rendi. Rendi sleeps with her back position.

“A, wake.” Rahma patted Rendi's arm.

“Hem,” replied Rendi with closed eyes.

“Aa. Iiiihhh!” Rahma shook Rendi's body.

Feeling her body shaken, Rendi opened her eyes and turned to Rahma.

“Why?” Rendi looked at Rahma with eyes that were still sleepy.

Rahma gives a testpack wrap to Rendi.

“This what?” Rendi took the wrap from Rahma's hand.

“See for yourself the contents.” Rahma turned on the lamp above the nightstand.

Rendi wakes up from sleep and sits leaning on the nightstand. He sighed and opened the testpack. He saw in the package there was a stick and he took the stick.

“This what?” Rendi looked at the stick in confusion.

“Aa see this.” Rahma pointed at the red line on the stick.

“Keep why?” Randy asked again. He doesn't understand at all.

“Iiihhh Aa. Time just doesn't understand!” rahma shouted in annoyance.

“Try you light to me! Let me understand,” said Rendi.

“This is a sign Rahma is pregnant,” said Rahma.

Rendi silently heard it. He looked at the stick. He read the stick wrap. Only then did he understand.

“Alhamdullilah.” Rendi embraces Rahma's body and then kisses Rahma's forehead.

“But A, why is Rahma not nauseous and vomiting like other pregnant mothers?” ask Rahma.

“Let's ask the doctor. He knows better,” replied Rendi.

Joints up from the bed.

“Aa to bathroom first.” Rendi walked towards the bathroom.

Adhan dawn reverberate. Rendi and Rahma pray at dawn. After the morning prayers they bowed in gratitude for the gift that Allah SWT gave to their small family.

After finishing the morning prayer Rahma came out of the room.

“Where are you going?” asked Rendi when she saw Rahma about to come out of the room.

“You cook,” replied Rahma.

“Be careful! Do not lift that heavy!” rendi.

“Iya, A.” Rahma came out of the room to the kitchen.

When to have breakfast. Rendi announced the good news to her mother and grandfather.

“Mama Grandpa, someone wants Rendi to convey to Mama and Grandpa,” said Rendi.

“About what?” ask Claudia's mother.

“Rahma pregnant,” says Rendi.

“Alhamdullilah,” said Mr. Sultan and Ms. Claudia.

“What's tested with testpack?” ask Claudia's mother.

“Already, Ma. The result is positive,” Rahma replied.

“But , Ma. Why Rahma does not nausea and vomiting like pregnant women?” ask Rahma.

“Not all pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting. For details you can ask directly to the doctor,” replied Claudia's mother.

“Good, Ma,” replied Rahma.

In the afternoon after Rahma returned home from work, Rendi took Rahma to the hospital near Rahma's office for a check-up. Lucky when they come the queue is not too long. Rahma and Rendi sat in the waiting chair, waiting to be called.

After a long wait, Rahma's name was called.

“Mother Rahma Sasmita.” Rahma and Rendi got up from the chair and walked to the check room.

“Good afternoon,” said the doctor when Rahma and Rendi entered the check room.

“Sore, Doc,” replied Rahma and Rendi.

Rahma and Rendi sit at the doctor's desk. The doctor read Rahma's case file. In the file it has been clearly detailed what Rahma experienced.

“There are complaints, Mom?” ask doctor.

“Why do I not experience nausea and vomiting like other pregnant mothers?” ask Rahma.

“Can be due to low hormone. It could also be because the condition of the mother's body tolerates physical and psychological changes during pregnancy so as not to experience nausea and vomiting,” replied the doctor.

“Now we see first the state of the fetus,” said the doctor.

The uterus moves from the seat to the bed to be examined. The sisters help Rahma lie down and prepare Rahma for Ultrasound. Once ready, the doctor begins to check the uterus with an ultrasound device. Rendi viewing from the screen of the monitor provided. He watched even though he did not understand.

“The fetus is still small as a seed,” said the doctor.

Finally the doctor finished examining Rahma. Rahma returned to her seat. The doctor wrote a prescription for Rahma.

“Back again after two weeks.” The doctor prescribed the drug to Rahma.

“Thank you, Doc,” said Rahma.

Rendi and Rahma moved from the seat out of the check room. They went to the pharmacy that was in the hospital to buy drugs prescribed by the doctor. Rendi gave the prescription to the dispensary officer. Then Rendi and Rahma sat on the reserved seat.

“Mama has not been told,” Rahma said.

“Call now!” rendi. Rahma pulled out her phone and called her mother.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Rahma. Rahma told her mother about her pregnancy. Rahma was engrossed in talking with her mother while Rendi waited for Rahma's name to be called by the dispensary officer.

Sure enough a few minutes later.

“Mother Rahma Sasmita.” The dispensary called Rahma's name. Rendi stood up and approached the dispensary officer. The dispensary employee mentioned the nominal amount that must be paid by Rendi. Rendi pays with a card. After that, he returned to his seat. Rahma was still talking to her mother.

Soon after, Rahma's name was called back. Rendi approached the dispensary officer. The dispensary employee gave the plastic containing the drug to Rendi. Rendi returned to the seat. Rahma still hasn't finished talking to mom.

Rendi sits next to Rahma waiting for Rahma to finish talking to her mother. Rahma saw Rendi carrying a medicinal plastic.

“It's done?” ask Rahma without making a sound.

“Already,” replied Rendi.

“Ma, it's been. Rahma's medicine has been taken,” Rahma said to her mother.

“Assalamualaikum,” says Rahma.

Rahma turned off her phone.

“Let's go home,” invite Rahma. They got out of their seats and walked out of the hospital.

“What do you want to eat?” ask Rendi while driving her car.

“Seafood,” replied Rahma.

“Ok. Now we go to seafood restaurant,” said Rendi.

“Let's go, A. Now we have to go home to pray magrib. When you have finished the new prayer to the seafood restaurant. We invite mom and grandpa to eat there,” said Rahma.

“Good. We go home first,” said Rendi.
