"Ellie, how are you, baby?"

"Good aunt. How's aunt?"

"Good aunt, thank you. Caca said he went to Ellie's?"

"I nodded, Ellie's here to see Lee auntie."

"Dad, thanks Ellie."

We were quiet for a while.

I looked at Andri, he was watching Caca. While Caca like trying to avoid Andri's gaze by eating cake in front of him. What are they talking about?

"Aunty ain't buying a cake? What message do you want? I'll take auntie." I said start our awkward conversation.

"Ga, thank you. Aunty is full, here is just another Caca anther.... "

Aunt Anna didn't finish her words.

I'm still guessing crazy? Nudged? The ngi-hantui? Ngikungs? Snatch? Then feel silly with the play I made.

"Ellie, earlier aunt apologized for what she was going to say. Aunty will assume you already know Lee and Caca's wedding plans."

I'm nodding. The pain that had calmed down began to launch the action again.

"Do you know the reason behind this hasty plan? And maybe you don't think this makes sense? Because just a year ago Lee asked you to wait? " ask aunt Anna.

I just shook my head, nodded and nodded again. I don't want to make a sound, afraid that my tears will break.

"Ellie's.. Auntie's not here to explain the details of why Lee and Caca could be. That'll be the business between your aunt, you and Caca. But Auntie obviously knew, in this sudden state, Ellie was the most sad. You could say Ellie was the victim. Ellie must have felt betrayed."

I cried without a sound hearing Aunt Anna's words.

"Sorry aunt should support even forcing them to marry. Not Aunt hates Ellie and prefers Caca. Even if it happened to Lee and Ellie, Auntie would do the same. Aunty will be the first to support you and against all who oppose".

I gasped to hear Aunt Anna talk.

"Ma.. sorry what does aunt mean?"

"Yes. as an obstetrician who has had a career for decades, aunt has accompanied hundreds or even thousands of couples who have difficulty having offspring. Now that Lee is believed to be a parent, aunty can not let Lee escape his responsibilities as a man. Lee pleads with the aunt to find another way to take responsibility as long as she doesn't marry Caca. Lee also even knelt down on Caca to let go. Lee loves Ellie very much, aunty knows for sure what kind of aunt. And Auntie also likes Ellie, Ellie's a good kid. Lee's getting better near Ellie.

But if it makes him a br#ngsek father, aunty certainly should direct Lee. Although now Caca and the baby is in good health, at the beginning Caca even experienced bleeding, stress because Lee blurred the fog. If this is the case, Caca also does not deserve not to bear all of it alone?"

The baby??

I will probably never forget this moment in my entire life. The moment when everything seems bright and clear . I now understand why Lee and Caca are in such a hurry to get married.

But at the same time it also seemed dark, yes my world was pitch black. I don't understand why all this could happen. Lee impregnates Caca? But Lee actually loves me so much? How come?

How could our friendly, close and beautiful romance ever end up hurting each other like this?

I looked towards Andri. Ask her for help without a sound. Andri saw me worried, she stood up to me and held my hand.

"Tanteau have no right to ask Ellie to wish Lee happiness". Then looking at Andri, Anna's aunt said "But the aunt sincerely hopes Ellie will find Ellie's own happiness from now on. Blessed is Ellie aunty going to pray for Ellie."

Andri and I are in Lala's waiting room. The doctor will check on me. To be honest, I don't really remember I got here.

I'm not crying right now I'm just holding tightly to Andri's hand, but Andri didn't ask me anything. Then having taken possession of myself I let go of my hand. "Sorry to." I said.

Then my name was called, I asked Andri to wait for me here. I'm going in alone.

#########

I waited for Andri to take the medicine for me. I saw him, if I thought I'd only known him for two days. But it's like we've known for years. I'm comfortable around him. Are all adult men like this?

I received a message from my coworker. They told me they had sent me a job file that I had to translate. I almost forgot about my job. Should I keep doing this?

I feel like nothing. There is no purpose and feeling empty. I lost interest in everything. Should I just marry someone? I feel so tired.

Andri held out a few medicinal pills and a bottle of mineral water. "Drink Li's medicine."

I drank it obediently.

"What did the doctor say?"

"I was just exhausted, stressed, my tension was so low.." I remembered the words - said the doctor. "I honestly forgot you, I didn't pay much attention. I was just wondering, the doctor said I should get plenty of rest".

"Don't you forget to take your medicine ?" Andri reminded me.

I'm nodding.

"What do I have to do? Should I see Lee now?"

"May I know, what did you mama Lee say?" Ask Andri

I cried again, "I hate myself you, I don't or why do I cry?!" 

Since the atmosphere in the waiting room was calm, everyone there was shocked and looked at me.

Andri hugged my shoulder, and took me away from it.

########

Andri took me to the park in the hospital, I sat on my seat, Andri sat next to me for a long time. Then after I stopped crying he squatted down in front of me. "Ellie, are you ok?"

I'm nodding.

I saw that I was in her eyes that worried about me. As soon as I have the power, "I want to see Lee Ka".

I stood up and accelerated my pace. Andri followed my steps behind.

######

Andri and I went into the room where Lee was being treated, there was Mama Lee, Papa Lee sat down and Caca was next to Lee.

I saw Lee sitting down eating something . Full of wounds on his face, his hands were giped and bandaged. His feet were not visible because they were covered in blankets. But I can see Lee was pretty badly hurt. I sympathize with Lee's situation.

"Elliei". Mama Lee welcomed me.

I say hello to Papa Lee and Mama Lee.

I apologized for interrupting Lee's break and asked Lee's parents about Lee's situation. They say Lee's condition is stable, there are no serious internal injuries. It's just that his hand will be in the cast for a long time.

I looked towards Caca, she was wearing a rather tight shirt. Only now do I realize, if viewed carefully Caca is fatter and her stomach protrudes a little. Before I didn't notice him. I remember the words of Aunt Anna, that at the beginning of Caca's pregnancy, Caca also had a difficult time. I feel sorry for Caca. He was once my best friend.

Mama Papa Lee wants to give me and Lee time to talk. They leave and Caca follows. I told Andri, I won't be long. And he left the room.

"Who is Ells? New boyfriend?"

"Haaa, I foolishly thought you'd be sad to hear I'm getting married".

"Stop Lee! Don't start, you don't have the right to say that."

"Then who is he?"

"It's none of your business!"

Lee lowered his head and covered his face with his hands that were not in the cast. Take a deep breath and begin to lower his tone. "Sorry, I know I don't have the right to be that jealous. Anywhere I look, I'm the villain".

"You know what, Lee br#ngsek!" I'm kind of relieved we started our conversation with each other angry, so at least I know I won't cry right now.

"Ells, I really want to know, who is that guy? Mami said she met you and a guy at the cake shop earlier . And Mami says you're familiar."

"Lee, are you really going to do this?" I glared at him.

"I want to know, why studying abroad makes you br#ngsek? Didn't you say you were going to come home from there and be a better human being?"

"Ells", Lee tried to hold my hand.

"Don't try." I took a few steps back.

"Ells, it was all an accident. Caca and I were just not on purpose. Anyway I think Caca keeps coming at me, I'm just thinking Caca's because I think he's your best friend. And I was drunk and it all happened. At that time I even imagined it was you. I'm not fully aware of Ells, I swear. I'm...."

"Yeah! The accident? You are crazy Lee! For you 'it' is very easy and not too important. You fucking Lee!  Now you also want to say Caca was wrong? If you are not sick anymore, I want to beat you Lee!!!! "

"I'm sorry Ells. Wait I please, I know you love Me too. I'll go back to you. Mommy makes me marry Caca for the baby, I know I'm the man responsible. Like I said yesterday to you, even if I'm forced to marry Caca. But I'll divorce her after the baby is born. Again, please trust me".

"Lee!" I snapped at him, not believing what he just said.

"Ells, please. I love you so much. How am I living with Caca? I don't love him at all. Oooohh God.. " He pulled her hair. "Please Ells, don't hate me, please!"

"Lee, if you're gini. I'm leaving". I rushed towards the door.

Lee plucked the infusion in his hand and caught up with me but fell straight off.

I ran towards Lee, and shouted for help. Lee clasped my hand and groaned in pain.

Everyone rushed in.

Aunt Anna panicked, and Papi Lee and Caca helped lift Lee to the bed again. Lee still did not let go of my hand. "Don't go Ells."

I pulled my hand.

Andri approached, "Let go of him!"

Caca pleaded, "Fons off Ellie, it's Fons".

"Well, is that Ellie?" Ask Lee to Andri.

Lee was really crazy, I pulled my hand as hard as I could.

Two doctors and a nurse came in.

Papi Lee yelled at Lee.

Lee finally let go of my hand.

I hurriedly took a break to Lee's parents. Aunt Anna apologized to me.

And Andri immediately pulled my hand out of it.
