The Pearl of Ternista
Getting pregnant?

The wedding day that was predicted to be the happiest day, in fact became the most gaping wound in Tiara's life. 

Kebaya and jasmine flowers that are supposed to bear witness to the sacred promise, in fact bear witness to tears that do not stop dripping. 

"Don't leave me, Mum! We're getting married, you gotta get up, Mas!"  The repeated screams came out from Tiara's lips, a voice that added to the sorrow of those who heard, until without explanation all knew how devastated Tiara's heart was over Shaka's death. 

However, as painful as Tiara's heart at that time, there was still more pain. They are Dewi Rahmawati—s birth mother Shaka, Devano Reynandar—kak Shaka's birth sister, and Sherina Anjani— Shaka's biological sister. At the same time, they lost two nearby families, namely Shaka and his father—Hilman Sugia. 

Sherin and Devan are devastated, but do not lose consciousness. Unlike the Goddess, the middle-aged woman had repeatedly fainted since knowing that the car the child was driving and her husband had collided with the truck. Now the condition of Dewi is still bad, so it can not attend the funeral because it must be treated in the hospital. 

"Papa, Mas Shaka, why are they leaving so soon?" sherin lamented while covering his face, unable to look at the two bodies that are now at home and will soon be taken to the cemetery. 

"Take them, honey. We pray for a beautiful place by His side" replied Karrel Adiguna—suami Sherin. Enclosed the body of the wife who was pregnant at that time. 

"I can't, Mom. It's too soon, they haven't even seen our son. Why should they be the ones going through all this, Mom?" Sherin's sobbing, belly up and down. 

Karrel gently rubbed it, as if to calm the baby in there so as not to feel the sadness of his mother. 

"I know how you feel. Cry if it can ease your pain, I'm always ready to be your back, honey" whispered Karrel as he kissed Sherin's head. He devotes all his affection to calming his wife. 

He thinks it's natural for Sherin to behave that way. He alone, who was originally someone else, was also devastated to witness the death of his in-laws and in-laws. 

Indeed, the accident involving them was extremely tragic. Now all five victims have been recorded, all of whom died. Two of them are truck drivers, while another is Hilman's personal driver, who is currently buried in his own home. 

Finally that afternoon, at about half-four, the bodies of Hilman and Shaka were taken away from the funeral home. They will be buried in TPU Surabaya. With the accompaniment of cries from almost everyone present, the two were rested in the last place.

Sherin and Tiara fell unconscious when Shaka's body had already turned into a mound of dirt. 

"We're taking them to the hospital!" said Karrel, who was later approved by Devan. 

The man who had since arrived at the funeral was silent for holding back tears, now collapsed was already his defense. Seeing his younger sister and future sister-in-law faint, Devan's mind grew increasingly confused. Especially if you remember the condition of his mother who is still lying weak in the hospital there, it feels like Devan wants to just die.

"The patient had a pretty severe mental shock, very lucky to be brought here immediately. Because if not, the consequences can be fatal, both for the patient himself and the fetus he contains."

Yanti was very surprised when she heard the doctor's explanation regarding Tiara's current condition. So surprised, he widened and gaped. 

Getting pregnant? 

One thing he never imagined, because all this time Tiara is a good girl and never messed around. Even with Shaka, the man never left a bad image. 

"Real ... that looks good is not necessarily good. Shaka ... Tiara .. why did you do that fatal thing? Then ... how do I tell Mas Seno?" inner Yanti while holding her own chest. 

"What if Mas Seno gets angry and can't forgive you, Tiara?" Yanti is back in the mood, worrying about the big problems that might happen, given the hard, firm, and disciplined nature of Seno. 

Getting pregnant out of wedlock is a great disgrace for him, so either it is still understandable or not the mistake. 

"Mom, are you okay?" doctor's warning. 

Yanti wavered, then forced a smile while saying 'it's okay'. Furthermore, he could no longer digest the doctor's long explanation because his mind was only filled with Tiara. 

After he finished talking to the doctor and got a prescription that must be redeemed, Yanti left the room with a slow step. It wasn't Tiara's still-fainted condition that caused her to mess up, but rather Tiara's fate ahead of her. What if Seno is angry? 

"Mom, how's Tiara doing?" seno asked when the wife had arrived outside the room. The man was also worried about the situation of Tiara, who was already considered like a child himself. 

"It's still fainting, but the doctor says it's gonna be around soon." Yanti wasn't lying, it was Tiara's situation. He only hid the 'pregnant' part, which he said was not appropriate now. 

"Tiara must have been hit. She loves Shaka very much and their marriage is also a few minutes away. But ... God said something else" said Seno, regretting the unfortunate fate that befell his nephew. 

Yanti. In her confusion, she could only be inward, "May your sympathies remain even if she later finds out that Tiara is already pregnant. I really hope you can forgive her, Mas, because we're her parents."

"Family patient!" The call of the doctor who also came out of the room, disperse the daydreams of Yanti and make her medongak. 

"Yes, Doc."

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that patients also need special milk for pregnant women. Later___"

"Susu pregnant women? What's that supposed?" Seno quickly cut the doctor's words, her gaze turning sharp, just a moment eroding the sadness that had just emanated. 

"Yes, sir, the mental shock the patient experienced had an effect on his fetus. So, it takes extra nutrients to maintain its health." 

"So that means ... the condition of the patient is currently pregnant?" asked Seno slowly, but with great emphasis. 

"Yes, sir."

Along with the doctor's answer, Yanti lowered her head while cursing. Both of his hands were clutching the ends of the clothes he was wearing. Fear, worry, that's how it feels right now. It was supposed to wait for the right time to talk about Tiara's condition, but it was revealed right then and there. 

"Well, thanks for the instructions, Doc." Seno tried to smile at the doctor, to cover up the emotions that had been ignited. 

Shortly after the doctor left, Seno glared sharply at the wife, who was still down. 

"Well!" call him firmly. 

Seriate...
