Author And The Baby
Responsibilities

Abigail hung up. He's confused. It only came from one side, he had to ascertain what happened but how do I tell this to Marina?

Hiding is obviously impossible because it's about his sister, Alan while he himself is an outsider, but ... said this to his pregnant wife .... He's really confused. She fears Marina is in shock and interrupts her pregnancy.

He scratched his hair and bit his lips. Ah, ask mom! Abigail's leaving soon.

-----------+++----------

Marina was surprised to find her husband coming home quickly. "Well, how come home soon?"

"So to my mother's place" the man replied to his wife at the dinner table.

"Eat already?"

"Oh, same mom. Uh, Marina ...." The man touched the wife's hand.

"Tumben Brother to mother's place. What's the news?"

"That's .. There's something I want to say." The face of the bule man looked worried.

"What?" Marina felt something different.

"About Alan." Bule was provoking his wife's reaction.

"Yes?"

The man took the wife's hand and held it. "I want you to calm down?"

Marina was clearly confused.

"Don't stress because we don't know the truth yet."

"What the hell is it, Bang?"

"Mc ...." The man swallowed.

"News just yet." The woman was curious.

"I'm afraid of your pregnancy ...."

"Hopefully no papa, Bang. Just a story."

Abigail still hesitates.

"I'm used to the problem. I usually take care of Alan if I have a problem. Whahuh? What was? Is he causing trouble at Papa's company?"

Yes, after graduating from college, Alan worked at Abigail's father's company for a year and looks, Papa likes the work of Marina's sister.

"Did she start working and meet her old friend again?"

"No, it's another matter." The man still held the wife's hand.

"So what's the problem?"

"Mmh, I got a call from Mr. Ridho. His son attempted suicide by taking a lot of sedatives but was saved."

Marina was confused by the news. "Astaghfirullah. Thank God, but what does that have to do with Alan?"

"Didn't you know they were dating?"

"What's? No, but .. what ...." Marina looked at her husband while thinking. "Don't tell me, because of Alan ...."

"I don't know, Marina. This news I got from Mr. Ridho, so we have to bring them together to know the real story."

"Then take me there now. Is Mr Ridho's son in the hospital?" ask the woman again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Well? He has to come."

"He's headed for the hospital and will be waiting for us to come, before meeting them."

"Ok, put Farrel first on Isy at home. Uh, mom ...."

"It's in the car."

Abigail held his wife's hands back. "You really don't papa, come along?"

Marina looked at her husband's two soft-spaced eyes. "Then you came here for what? 'And you can go with Mom?"

"Said Mom, you have to talk, but I told you, last time this is over, but I don't want to."

Marina smiled and grabbed her husband's arms. "Because mom is emotional. If he's the one who talks, the problem doesn't get better even longer the business."

The man is still glued.

"Oh, sure. InshaAllah all is well done."

Abigail grabbed his wife's body and hugged her gently. "Hopefully you're right."

---------+++----------

They met Alan in the hospital lobby. Nothing, Mom hit him so much that he almost fell down because Alan was still on a stick. It was fortunate that Abigail helped him up and Marina separated them.

"Mom, we heard the problem first" Marina said.

"What is your problem with Mr Ridho's son to ask you to come?" ask Abigail to Alan.

"I'm confused. Mr. Ridho didn't approve of our relationship so I broke up with him. I haven't known anything since then" Alan said, looking down.

"lik! You must be doing people's kids, right?!" sahut mom fierce.

Alan drowned his head.

"Already, Mom. It's a crowded place" Marina said again. The speech is powerful enough to make Mother aware and maintain an attitude.

They then together go to Santika's treatment room. Other than Alan, no one knows Alan and Santika ever dated. This confuses the three, as Alan keeps his relationship with Santika a secret.

When entering the room, Ridho was seen accompanying his son beside the hospital bed. The young lady was lying weakly with a pale face. Abigail had no idea what Ridho would do after meeting Alan in person, but she prepared for the worst. He only heard the middle-aged man panicking when he called.

"Eh, we came with good intentions of course to unravel the misunderstanding and put the problem on the portion. Hopefully this meeting can be done with a cool head." Abigail starts.

Ridho nodded his head. "I want to ...."

"Pa .. Don't burden him, Pa. He's not wrong, "cut Santika lying on the bed.

"But Papa wants to make sure of something, Santi," the middle-aged man told the child.

Alan boldly, advanced to face Ridho.

The middle-aged man looked at Alan's face closely. "Have you ever slept with my son?"

Alan nodded. A loud slap floated onto the smooth cheek of the man. There was a clear red mark that made Abigail immediately separate the two.

Santika even gets off the bed, only to separate Alan from his father. The woman put on a body to protect the man. "Don't blame him, Papa. He's not wrong. I fucked her." He turned around and hugged Alan's waist. "I love her so much."

Everyone in the room was stunned in disbelief at the woman's confession.

"Santi." Alan tried to take off the woman's embrace but she wouldn't let him go. Santi hugged her tightly.

Mother was confused to believe or not hear the woman's words.

"Mmh, so what do you want?" ask Abigail who is trying to solve this problem. The problem is quite complicated because Ridho works with the company of his father and also his business friends. For some reason, Ridho did not approve of their relationship. Maybe because Alan's a cripple.

"I'm sorry my sister, sir. I think a meeting doesn't always end well. Required each individual to be able to interpret a meeting wisely. Surely, no one wants to end up bad," Marina spoke up.

Ridho was confused to see his son still hugging Alan. "Not that I had bad intentions but Santi was already betrothed by her late mother to someone else and I tried to keep that trust. Did I get it wrong, mmm?" He asked Abigail.

"There's nothing wrong, sir, but actually, uh sorry, sir if you're presumptuous. If the person in the trust cannot do so, it is not sinful, sir, according to Islamic religious law."

Ridho was silent to Abigail's words. He turned to Alan who was still trying to escape from his son, Santika. "So what should I do?"

"My sister must be responsible, if that's what you're asking for" Marina said.

It turns out that since the first time he met Santika, he has fallen in love with Alan. Although the man was a stick, but it did not prevent him from wanting to know the man further.
