...64. Our hero....
Upon arrival at home, Kha laid her body on the bed. Today was so stifling, confusing as well as exhausting. His chest tightness after hearing the reason that pushed Jihan to follow Jecin's will. Confused whether he can accept the reason of a child whose heart is scratched by the attitude of his parents. Tired ... somehow lately his body is often tired, weak, and this afternoon he felt wrong with his digestion.
He folds his forehead until a big wrinkle appears, hoping that his twitching head will get better soon. But what he feels now is not just dizzy, nausea back attack just because of a mouthful of water. He ran the ridge to the bathroom and positioned himself in front of the toilet, a moment later he vomited up the stomach contents leaving pain in the stomach.
His head is getting heavier. His mouth was bitter as chewing medicine. As he stood, he felt the surroundings turning and his gaze blurred, though he tried to drag his feet back to the bed. The more he stepped his head the more buzzing and finally he dimbung before reaching the bed.
He heard Azzam talking to the clouds. Also the voice of the voice from Dusk chimed in the speech of the Clouds. Kha wanted to call them, ask for help from those who were talking seriously but his mouth seemed to be stuck, his throat also hurt like scratched. Thank God it was not long before Azzam went up to the room and found Kha on the floor.
“Tea! You why?” squeak Azzam.
Kha did not reply, his whole body was in pain without exception. Even when Azzam helped lift himself to the bed, he felt pain in every part of the body that Azzam touched.
“You sick?” azzam asked again, and Kha only shook his head weakly. Azzam examined his body and placed a palm on his forehead, then exited the room while calling out Alsea.
A few seconds later, the room became very crowded. Plus a panicked voice from Barsha who dominated the room. The scream again provoked nausea that made him wake up and run to the bathroom. While crouching he felt Alsea's palm gently rubbing his back.
“Tap this, Umi. Kha in the wind maybe.” said Dusk.
Kha got up and sat down on the toilet, staring one by one at the panicked faces of the people who followed her all the way to the bathroom. According to Kha, Alsea's gaze was different, the look in her eyes clearly showed no panic, but it looked like a suspicious person.
“Umi, really dizzy ...”
“When was the last time you menstruated?” ask Alsea. Spontaneous made all eyes on him.
Kha recalls the last day of menstruation, forgetting because as he remembered he had not been absent for prayer.
“Try to remember carefully, Nak.” Let's say Dusk.
Then he remembered indeed during his marriage with Blue he had not even been found to be idolatrous. “seemat Kha, time before returning to Jogja.”
“That was before you got married?”
Kha nodded, “Iya, Umi, a few days before getting married.”
From the answer he saw a different reaction. Azzam who breathed heavily, Clouds rubbed his face violently, Dusk's eyes seemed to run along the river, while Alsea scattered to embrace him. From Alsea's questions and the reaction of her family, Kha realized something. Something that he had not thought about at all let alone discussed with Blue.
“Umi .. impossible, ‘kan?” ask Kha. His voice shakes with fear.
“Umi also do not know, Tea, we should make sure to the doctor yes.” invite Alsea.
“Iya, Darling. You got married in your fertile days, and your marriage has been almost two months. Most likely, but true said Umi should we make sure to the doctor.” said Dusk.
“What are you afraid of? While you have us who will always look after you,” Dusk caress the tip of the Kha hijab, making sure that Kha is not too worried.
Eventually he and all the family arrived at one of the largest hospitals in the area. Dusk and Alsea walked hand in hand leading himself, Cloud acting as a alert father who was swiftly queuing up to register. No need to wait long he was called by a nurse, thanks to the insider from the in-laws he got the privilege.
“Wah, it's so crowded, who wants to check today?” ask the obstetrician, while holding back laughter seeing a group of people enter the room that is not too wide.
“This is my son-in-law, Doctor. His name is Kha, Khadijah.” said Awan.
“Loh, sir Awan already have a son-in-law? I just heard.” said Doctor surprised. The clouds just nodded and laughed in response.
“OK, we start the inspection yes.”
At first Kha was given a cup and stick and then led by the nurse to the bathroom. He was clumsy because he was ordered to urinate in that place. Upon completion he was directed to undergo a series of tests with equipment that was unfamiliar to him.
“The condition of the mother is healthy and ready to conceive, the results are still faint but let's make sure again.” said Doctor.
Then he was told to lie down on a cage. When the nurse was about to pull the tip of the shirt, Kha immediately held back because there was Dumbness and Barid. Men are not mahrams for him. Azzam winked at them and finally they came out of the room, only the Clouds still stopped but turned around.
The nurse helped him up again, then poured a gel on his stomach. He was told to look at the monitor when a blunt object was placed on his stomach, while listening to an explanation from the doctor. Kha only looks an imperfect round sac with a black dot in the middle, which according to doctors is a prospective fetus.
Fetus ....
Hearing the word Fetus makes Kha no longer focus on the explanation of the Doctor. His mind began to branch, about the happy news was also shocking for him. He sat back in the chair when the doctor finally invited Dusk to talk because he had not noticed.
“Fetal age 6 weeks, this is normal happen Father, Mothers all. Because hpht is adjacent to the wedding date which means when you first get in touch with Khadijah's mother is in fertile period.” explained Doctor.
He received a print out of the image from the monitor earlier. Her tiny hand trembled as she received a photo of her future child with Blue. His mind was not yet clear, the fear of facing all alone clearly affected his feelings. Up to thousands of advice and support from the family can not penetrate the wall of worry.
His memories returned they re-occurred that night. If only Blue did not respond quickly in helping him, will the fetus in the stomach he saved. If Blue knew, at that time he was not only protecting himself, but also saving their future children.
“Kha .. take a slow breath, then exhale,” he follows the commandment of Dusk, “task you now not only take care of yourself, but take care of your child. Don't worry, don't be afraid, we're all here for you, son.”
Kha nodded, but the tears could no longer be shed. Should she be happy with her pregnancy, or vice versa.
He held firmly a picture of his future son while muttering. “develop with prayer accompaniment from those who love you, dear. We wait for our hero together until he returns.”
"I'll tell you how great our hero is, he sacrificed his whole life just to save us."
Kha's cries broke out to fill the car she was riding in. His voice was so heartbreaking that everyone dissolved in his sadness.
