EL NATH (Glorious Regrets)
Chapter 15 Go Home

Two days with Tiara in Jogja, made Nath slowly understand the habit of the girl. Including the habit of nausea vomiting because of pregnancy hormones.

They were supposed to come home this morning, but because Tiara was not powered by vomiting, Nath finally postponed it until later in the afternoon.

"We're going to the doctor!" Nath's orders were just finished bathing. The man was fully dressed.

Tiara sleeps on the bed. The girl who was no longer a girl was closing her eyes. "Don't want to" she refused quickly.

"You keep throwing up, Ra. Sampe lemes. If it gets worse, we may not go back and forth to Jakarta," Nath's nagging now sitting on the edge of the bed.

"If you want to go back, go first. I can still afford the hotel."

Holy hooch! Very stubborn girl. Inner Nath.

"That's not what I mean, Ra. You will also be easy to move if you do not continue nausea. You can eat anything, you won't be dizzy like this."

"Ck! Want you to take it to America though, my nausea will not heal," replied Tiara.

"There's no harm in trying, Ra."

"Let's see in the google* bang, surely all the articles say that nausea is common in young pregnant women," orders Tiara.

"I know Tiara... But we can try not to be this bad, Ra." Nath kept forcing. "We're going to the doctor, yeah."

Nath does not know the habits of pregnant women this one. Having two sisters who were pregnant made him understand a little about it.

Tiara opened her eyes, looking deeply at Nath. "Keep, I'll be there when I'm asked, what's my husband's name, how?"

"Yes, answer me El Nath."

"If she asks for a wedding book?"

"Say we're on vacation, so don't take it."

"Our address at KTP is different! I know we're not married yet."

"Say the marriage siri. Come on Ra, don't give me much reason." Nath flicked away the blanket that covered Tiara's body.

Tiara curled up hugging the bolster. "No way!"

"Ra.." persuade Nath.

"No, bang! You go to the doctor!" Tiara shouted a little.

"By! Why did I go to the doctor? I'm not sick, Ra."

"Not force it."

Nath. He understood what Tiara feared. She must have felt embarrassed and discouraged from getting pregnant before marriage. He realized this was a disgrace.

I have to say this to my mom and dad. At the very least, Tiara wanted to be taken to a doctor after our family learned of this. Nath's determination in his heart.

The other half of the day were both inside the hotel. Not talking to each other, let alone love each other. Impossible.

Tiara chooses to sleep and Nath keeps watching tv, sometimes also playing games on his phone.

In the afternoon, after the Zuhur prayer, they prepared. Pack the clothes because this afternoon they're going to the station and coming home soon.

"What time does the train leave?" Tiara closed the zipper of her bag.

"Jam two." Nath has finished packing. Go without supplies and go home in a backpack. Terrific Nath!

Nothing special happened on the way home. Tiara did not sleep, she just kept staring at the window and Nath also kept silent.

Both are lost in each other's minds. Nath thought of a confession sentence that he tried to make as neat as possible.

While Tiara was thinking about how to continue hiding her pregnancy as long as Nath had not talked about it to her parents.

"Well, if anyone asks for an abortion..."

"Don't think of anything weird" Nath cut. "Think of your health and her." Nath glanced at Tiara's stomach. "The rest is my business."

"I'm afraid your parents are angry."

"Tiara, anger is certain. Think about your health. I promised myself I'd take all the risks."

"So, whatever it is I'm gonna face."

Including bang Ezra. Nath in his heart.

They arrive at the station at 9 p.m. The two get off, Nath puts on his backpack and tucks Tiara's backpack.

"You wait here." His orders while they were in front of the parking lot. "I'm gonna get a bike first."

It didn't take long, Nath was already in front of Tiara on his motorcycle. "I took a taxi to bang."

"Can't!"

"I'm not wearing a helmet" Tiara replied.

"We bought it at a nearby store" Nath told Tiara.

They both go home, this is risky for others to know. But Nath doesn't care, because after this everything will be completely uncovered.

"Stop!" screeched Tiara as they reached in front of her alley.

"Nothing bang! I'm walking from here." Tiara got off the bike and handed her helmet to Nath.

"Take it," refused Nath. "I'm waiting here. When you get there, call and I'll go home."

Tiara nodded. He stared at Nath for a long time. From this moment on he must prepare for the worst possible eventuality that will occur between the two.

"Go home! Don't be afraid." Nath patted the top of his head.

Tiara immediately turned around and walked towards the house. It didn't take long, he went into the porch. The door to his house is still open. His family awaits his return, as Tiara says it will arrive before 10 p.m.

"Assalamualaikum, Dad, Mom."

"Getishalight." His parents answered his greetings from home.

After greeting her parents, Tiara walked into the room. He immediately contacted Nath.

"I'm here, bang."

"Let's take a break."

Tiara nodded, as if Nath saw her. "Be careful on the road."

Call terminated. Tiara took a clean towel in the closet. He walked to the bathroom. Not for bathing, he just wanted to wash his face and feet.

When he returned to his room, his mother called. "Ti, you look less healthy. You're pale, Ti."

The deg!

Tiara's heart stopped beating.

"Yes, Mom. Tiara's just a tadpole."

"You keep going, are you there?" sahut.

"Heheheheh." Tiara smiled awkwardly.

"Yes already. Get in there. Rest," his father ordered.

"You ate, didn't you."

"Mom, Mom."

***

The Alvarendra family home.

Nath went home. There was still Mang Joko standing guard in front.

"Assalamualaik." Say Nath softly as he opens the door that has not been locked.

"Waalaikum salam." said everyone together.

Nath who was closing the door to the shortest in surprise.

"All of you here?" Ask approaches. Nath sees Brother Bi and sister Zoya and their husband here.

No one answered it. Everyone was busy looking at his exhausted face.

"Sit down!" Papa's orders. They were all sitting on the sofa and Nath, the suspect had to sit on a small sofa with no backrest.

"Beegh. Go straight to the green table?" Ask when they realize everyone has a question in their brain.

"Where are you, Nath?" Mama's soft voice made her look at the woman who gave birth to her.

Nath looked at his mother. I don't know, the guilt filled his heart. He wants to cry now. But to confess, Nath wasn't ready. He didn't want everyone not to sleep tonight because of his confession. Not to mention the commotion that will be created.

"In Jogja, Ma," Nath answered briefly. It doesn't change the answer. He did not want to add to his lies.

"Who's the guy?"

"By yourself, ma." He answered slowly and he lowered his head. He knew this was wrong, and he dared not look at his parents.

"Are you all right, Nath?" Ask papa.

Nath nodded. "If there's any story with mom papa."

"You can go into the room." Papa's orders.

The confused Nath slowly stood up and climbed upwards. Do you know I'm worried. Do you know I need time? Or do you believe I'm alone in Jogja?

Meanwhile, here they are still wondering. "Pa, why?" ask the stars when Nath has entered the room.

"She has a problem, but doesn't want a story yet. Let him rest first. Tomorrow we will talk to him again" replied Papa Akhtar.

Mama Lintang nodded in agreement.

"Pa, we should have taken him to Jogja yesterday. So we know who he is there and who it is." Nair's Proposal.

"It's okay, Nair. Now you guys rest up. Nath's gone home safely, that's been a great relief for papa's mom."

Akhtar and Lintang, both know their children well. They realize Nath is having a problem, but both give Nath time.

They want Nath to tell the story himself, not indifferently, but they trust Nath too much.
