Call Me Rain
Meet After Disappearing

After the day that Gweny received the little box, Gweny turned a little possessive. Wherever Mirza goes, she always asks where she is going, with whom, how long, whatever she asks. He had never behaved like that before.

"Why do you always ask where I go? I just went to Gwen's office, just like always," Mirza said as she asked the same question every day. Mirza is upset with Gweny's attitude.

"I'm just afraid you're going." Gweny looked down, not daring to look at Mirza's face.

"Don't be like this Gwen, you're overreacting." Mirza stood up, she grabbed the phone lying on the nightstand.

"I'm leaving." His appeal to Gweny who stared at his departure with an agitated heart.

"How could I be so ordinary, whereas if you knew the truth, you would definitely leave me Mir." Inner Gweny.

The following week, Gweny asked Mirza for permission to go somewhere. He didn't mention where he was going, Gweny just said he was going to see an old friend.

Gweny left by driving his own car, about an hour he was at his destination. A white building had appeared towering in the eye view, Gweny got down from the car he was driving.

A private hospital became Gweny's goal, he wanted to make sure of something. To make him sure, his guess was not true.

The sound of the knocking of flatshoes sounded so loud, hospital visitors who passed by he ignored, he was too late to meet his friend there. In a hurry, Gweny almost hit someone standing in front of him.

"Akh," cried a woman who had just accidentally hit Gweny.

"Ma-af," Gweny was silent, his perfectly round eyes staring at someone there. He was almost at a loss for words just to say hello.

"K-sister Gweny." Alula, the woman looked pale, when she saw Gweny in front of her.

"How are you?" gweny said, smiling as if nothing had happened.

"A.. I'm good Brother, how is Brother doing?" he asked awkwardly, unable to cover his nervousness.

"I'm good," Gweny replied briefly, "there's something I want to talk about. Can we talk for a second?" Alula nodded in response.

Gweny took Alula to the hospital's food court, not far from where they met. He forgot his appointment with his friend, as this was his chance to have a one-on-one talk with Alula.

The atmosphere of the food court looks crowded, because it has entered lunch time. Gweny chose the very end of the room, so that he could talk more freely with Alula.

Two glasses of lemon tea ice had been served on their table. Gweny was still silent, trying to compose what sentence he deserved to say. While Alula, the woman looks more legitimate behavior, because Gweny just look at her without talking.

Suddenly Gweny reached into the sling bag he was wearing, he took something out of his bag.

"Is this yours?" Gweny thrust a small black box with a blue ribbon that he got from Mbak Sri.

"Sister, that's..," Alula's voice choked in the esophagus.

"Does he belong to Mirza?" Gweny pointed at Alula's still flat stomach with a glint of her sharp eyes. Alula bowed, trying to block her stomach with the small bag she was wearing.

"How many months?" Gweny's question made Alula bow. He felt guilty for what happened.

Alula was silent, she did not answer Gweny's question.

"How many months?" ask Gweny again. Alula was getting bowed, he blinked his eyes many times so that the clear liquid did not decay from the fertilizer.

"I'm sorry" said Alula.

"Mirza is mine now, and I am his legal wife. I'm not gonna let him know, about all this."

"Sister?" Alula looked up, she stared in disbelief at the woman before her.

"Can you walk away from her life, can you just disappear? why come back with a new life to take it?"

"Kak—," the clear circle just decayed, along with the pain he felt when he heard Gweny's words.

"I'm Lula's wife, I don't want her to share her attention with anyone else." Gweny stared intently at Alula.

"I understand, brother, I'm sorry I made a mess between you guys."

Gweny smiled cynically, "I thought you were La's good girl."

"Enough Ka! I don't want to hear Brother Gweny say bad. Gweny is not that kind of person. Do not let because of love, Brother Gweny became someone else," Alula looked at the woman before him.the woman who was always considered good by him, has now changed.

"I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna make sure you can't find me anymore." Alula wiped her wet cheeks, she stood up to leave in front of Gweny.

"Can you make him go?" Gweny looked at Alula's stomach. Again, Alula's heart ached.

"It's my fault and brother's, why punish him for a mistake he never made." Alula held her stomach, as if she did not want to lose the creature that was now growing in her womb.

...****************...

After Alula's death, Gweny did not continue his initial intention to see an obstetrician.

he rushed home, with a troubled heart. Why could he talk so quickly, why would he ask Alula to kill an innocent creature?

A month later, Gweny returned to the hospital to check on her. Because all this time, he felt that there was something strange about him.

"I'm sorry I had to rewind the schedule, suddenly there was a sudden need" Gweny told the young doctor who was sitting behind his desk.

The young doctor smiled welcoming Gweny. Doctor Priska, was one of Gweny's friends at school, he was an obstetrician at the hospital.

"Nothing, coincidentally also at that time, I was a patient. Buy the way, I haven't said congratulations on the wedding." Tempta Doctor Priska.

"Ah yes, thank you." I smiled back.

"So, what's the problem?" ask Dr. Priska back to her original destination.

"I just wanted to consult about ...,"

Gweny told Dr. Priska his problems all along. Her condition was after marriage, and Mirza took away her rights as a husband. Gweny complained often felt pain in the waist area, he was easily tired. In fact, after completing his obligations with Mirza, several times he saw blood spots.

"Well, before marriage, was your menstrual cycle Gwen's good?"

"Look, no. I've been bleeding for days, but usually my menstrual cycle is only 5 days," said Gweny.

Dr. Priska was silent, from Gweny's complaint he could estimate something "This is all, I suggest you make a pap smear test, so we know clearly what the problem is."

"Does that mean something's going on?" Gweny looked at Doctor Priska with a curious look.

"We pray, hopefully my guess is wrong."

According to the advice of Dr. Priska, that day Gweny also ran a pap smear test. Throughout the test, Gweny did not stop praying for everything to be okay.

The next day Gweny returned to the hospital to find out the test results. He went to see Dr. Priska in his room..

"This is the result" Gweny said, handing out a brown envelope he had just taken from the lab.

Doctor Priska opened the brown envelope, he studied the results of the pap smear test that Gweny had done yesterday.

"From the results of the examination, found the presence of abnormal cells Gwen ...," said Dr. Priska.

Actually Doctor Priska did not have the heart to read the test results, but he tried to be professional, even though his patient this time was a good friend during school.

"Is it that bad?"

Doctor Priska nodded with her sorry face.

Gweny returns home with a broken heart, discovering the fact that she will never have a child from Mirza. She is no longer the perfect woman for Mirza.

Gweny sits limply beside the bed, his memory returning to the day he met Alula. A sad face mixed with despair Alula suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Is this a reply to what I said to you back then, La?" gweny said softly, coinciding with the shedding of tears that he had been enduring since.
