Nilan sat in front of the toilet; feeling nauseous; his mind just kept on cursing at Tesla. A glass of water and a mouthwash; snorting, then leaning against the wall. As he remembered, nausea so early had been felt since 3 days ago, but already felt like he was going to die.
She complained: why only women suffer during pregnancy, while men only feel pleasure during ejaculation.
"Nilan, how strong isn't it?"
"Yes," Nilan's voice was a bit raucous.
He smiled weakly at Hasmi, who was peering through the opening of the bathroom door, with a frown, so that his worries were clearly visible in Nilan's eyes.
"I don't think you're going to be strong."
"Lo calm down, Hasmi," Nilan replied then stood up, "don't worry, I'm fine. This is our graduation. I've been fighting for a few years for this. So, there's no way I'm not here just because of nausea."
Nilan left the bathroom then went to the closet, then took out a knee-length halter dress in deep blue, with lace underneath—which she then placed on the bed.
"Yes, take a shower. Later I will take care of your hair," said the Hasmi, who was sitting in front of the dressing table while polishing the face.
"Yes, Mom."
While giggling, Nilan stuck his tongue out at Hasmi then entered the bathroom again.
Half an hour passed.
He wore a robe; dried his hair, then wrapped it in a towel, turban-style.
Outside, Hasmi was dressed and ready.
Hasmi wore a knee-length red Strapless dress, which was paired with black casual shoes; straightened her strober blonde hair, then fitted a pin with a rhino's nose on the lid. She's really pretty.
"Sit down," Hasmi demanded.
Nilan rolled his eyes and according. Hasmi removed the towel from Nilan's hair, then dried it. Nilan styled her brown hair along the middle of her back, into waves. Hasmi also put on makeup for Nilan.
A few minutes later, Nilan wore a blue dress and black shoes, then covered it with a dress.
"Ready?" Hasmi asked while putting on her dress again.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Where are your other things?"
"There."
Nilan pointed to a mini suitcase on top of the bed, filled with items he did not bring to the boarding house, as they moved in last week. They decided to stay in this hostel alone until graduation. Later that night, they will sleep there.
Luckily, they found a cost that suits their taste. Actually Wili who is looking for cost. Because Hasmi said that he still wanted to be with Nilan, he looked for a neighboring unit. She didn't know about Nilan's pregnancy, of course. Although as a girlfriend, Hasmi could not tell Wili, because Tesla was a close friend.
"You got lo?" Nilan asked.
"I got it in the car."
"Okay, I'll take this stuff to the car, let's go straight to the boarding of the event."
Nilan was about to pick up the suitcase, but Hasmi stopped him.
"Let me just. You can't lift heavy."
Nilan rolled his eyes again. After she confirmed the pregnancy, Hasmi treated her differently - a mother hen who kept the eggs from breaking. Nilan could hardly act freely, because Hasmi's attitude was too protective. Nilan just clean can't be.
Hasmi also did not want to carry her. He said Nilan's baby was going to get sick. He's too worried. Nilan is only grateful when Hasmi lets him drive his own car, though at times, Hasmi insists that Nilan should be accompanied.
Nilan sighed; grabbed the handle of the suitcase, then looked at Hasmi who was also holding the handle.
"No papa, Hasmi. I was pregnant for 1 day. Don't be overprotective. Hadeuh!"
"Sir, Lan. You're pregnant again. So just give it to me, okay?"
"No! I can do it myself."
"We have to be careful so that the baby does not stress, Nilan."
However, Nilan's grip even tighter on the handle, then pull it.
"My baby is fine."
Nilan pulled a suitcase.
"Yes, I know. But don't be so confident. I can't say if something's wrong, so let me."
Nilan pulled the suitcase again, then glared at him.
"He can't talk, but I know he's fine. I'm his mother."
"Baby you girl!"
"My baby's a boy."
"Good! Lift yourself!"
Hasmi snorted then released the suitcase.
"But the baby is a girl" she added.
"Hadeuh, whatever."
"Well!"
Nilan laughed; pulled the suitcase, then followed it down. Hasmi finally gave up, he thought.
They have been talking about the sex of the baby since the first pregnancy. Hasmi was really expecting a baby girl. Nilan always laughed at her sour expression, each time insisting that her baby was a boy. However, it did not matter to Nilan what the sex of the baby was. He just wants a healthy baby.
The graduation ceremony has been going on for three hours. Hasmi's parents came, congratulated them and invited them to lunch. Nilan doesn't want to come, actually, because it's a family celebration. However, they insisted, especially Hasmi's mother who knew that Nilan was a kara.
"Ma, Nilan sama Hasmi later on. You want to wait for Wili first"
"Oh, yeah."
Nilan and Hasmi nodded, then mingled with their classmates and other friends and took pictures.
"Official, congratulations, yes" William greeted with a smile; approached; hugged Hasmi, then kissed her lips.
"Thank you, Ayank" said Hasmi.
They also hugged.
Now Wili turned to look at Nilan, then hugged.
"Hello, Nilan Mumut. Congratulations," he said.
"Okey, thanks, Wilcan."
Nilan patted his back. Due to wearing high heels, her chin rests on Willi's shoulder.
He's looking up. His gaze instantly locked onto the brown eyes of a man. His heart was beating faster too. She's nervous. Tesla stood behind Wili, staring at Nilan.
Tesla's gaze made Nilan wonder: what was on his mind? His face was too passive and showed no emotion whatsoever!
Nilan now gulped, horrified that Tesla remembered what had happened the night at the bar; hoping that Tesla would not ask whether she was pregnant or not, then took a deep breath to calm down. However, he was convinced that Tesla did not remember him; convinced that he was one of the faceless women that Tesla slept with. So, he felt no need to worry.
Nilan turned his gaze, then let go of Wili's embrace. He chuckled as Wili's face was indescribable. In fact, Hasmi laughed.
"Damn lo, Lan," William growled, "I told you, don't call me Wilcan. It's so weird."
However, Nilan stuck out his tongue.
"Eat him, you also stop calling me Mumut!"
"Well, why? Wong fits you well."
"Wilcan Base!" nilan Sahut.
Hasmi laughed; willi groaned in frustration and pinched Nilan's nose.
Nilan was immediately tense from hearing Tesla's deep timbre; it froze, especially as Tesla did not turn away from him, despite talking to Wili.
Nilan now glanced anxiously at Hasmi who was also staring at him.
Hasmi glanced at Nilan's stomach, then at Tesla and then back to Nilan's face. Hasmi and Nilan thought the same thing now, but Nilan while biting his lips.
"Lo diem, Test. If I call you Tessi, will you?"
"Try it, I'll kill you at most."
Nilan immediately shuddered at Tesla's words. Even though it was just a simple joke between friends, Nilan was still horrified by his tone. In fact, not only was Nilan affected, Hasmi also gulped and stuck to Wili's arm.
Tesla turned to Hasmi.
"Congratulations, Hasmi."
"Ma .. thanks, Test."
Tesla nodded then looked at Nilan again, with a stinging look. Nilan bit her lip again, then glanced at Hasmi nervously.
"Tesla, this is my best friend Nilan. Nilan, this is Tesla," Hasmi introduced.
Nilan was awkward.
The two of them were silent and just staring. However, the bang on Nilan's chest grew stronger. Tesla's brown eyes were so sharp, that Nilan was almost lost in them, his knees were also weakened. Hadeuh!
"Testes, you have a crush, huh, same as Nilan Mumut?" Wili asked while laughing.
Thanks to him, Nilan could escape the hypnotic gaze of Tesla, as he turned towards Wili with furrowed eyebrows and a sharp gaze. Wili stopped laughing and scratched his head.
A minute passed, Nilan got lost in the brown eyes of Tesla again—mata that can darken because of lust when kissing, and touched Nilan.
"Eh, hi," Tesla spoke again.
Nilan just gawked, not knowing who Tesla was talking to.
"Hi, Tesla," said a woman who was a fellow graduate, as she continued to approach.
He looked at Tesla with a seductive look, then held onto his arm. Unfortunately, Tesla was staring at Nilan— with increasingly dark eyes.
"Tesla Darling ...."
The rest of this woman's words did not enter Nilan's ears, because the wind was blowing hard.
Because of inhaling the woman's perfume, Nilan immediately nausea, so immediately smothering his own mouth.
"Lo why, Lanmut?" Wil asked worriedly, because he saw Nilan's behavior.
"Ni Nilan ...."
"Gue's fine," Nilan interrupted Hasmi while facing him.
He could feel Tesla's gaze, as well as the woman's gaze.
However, "The new gate is something bad. I'll excuse you first" he said, then hurriedly walked into the restroom.
He immediately rinsed and went straight to the parking lot, not to return to Hasmi.
He got into the car; took the phone from his wallet, then sent a message to Hasmi: "The girl smelled like a dead rat. My baby doesn't like it!"
Hasmi: "Okay, I'll tell mom if you're not feeling well."
Sighing, Nilan put the phone back into the wallet, then went to the boarding house to rest.

"Ready?" hasmi.
"Yes." Yeah."
Nilan nodded to Hasmi. They are out of charge: Nilan, Hasmi, and ; William. Cost them next door.
"Hello, Wilcan."
"Hay too, Nilan Mumut," replied William with gritted teeth.
Nilan laughed; locked the boarding door, then approached Hasmi. He hooked his arm to Hasmi's arm.
"True, right, you're okay?" ask Kristal, worry.
Nilan knew that Hasmi asked about the incident, when Nilan vomited and became nauseous because of the smell of the woman's perfume, Tesla's friend.
But Nilan just smiled.
"Gue's fine, anyways have a break. I can't miss this party either!"
"Hadeuh, it looks like a storm just as heavy rain will also not be able to deh, the party man!"
"Please calm down, Chicken Mama! I want to enjoy this night,” Nilan who had been next to Wili replied.
The two of them were also convinced that this was the last feast, until giving birth. So, according to Nilan, it is better to have fun. Of course, now he knows the limit: can't drink alcohol. Ironically, the party was held in the same bar. Moreover, this bar was not just a bar for him, but triggered memories he wanted to forget.
The party is going well. Nilan, Hasmi, and Wili have just arrived. As always, they look fashionable—takpeduli with anyone's eyes.
"Wooy!" Tesla yelling.
Nilan froze again hearing it. He tightened the grip on Hasmi's arm. Hasmi retorted by squeezing his hand, to convince him that everything would be fine.
"Eh lo, Tes," William said with a smile, "where's your boyfriend?"
"Nothing."
Tesla held his chin to Hasmi, then looked at Nilan— like watching a woman without clothes.
"Testes, how about going out with Nilan first! I am the same Hasmi as well. Hehe."
Instantly, Nilan looked at Wili with wide eyes. Hasmi was also surprised by Wili's suggestion. He looked at Nilan anxiously again.
"Honey, we can't leave Nilan. We come here together. You also know, right, if he didn't feel well earlier? Danger if he's not me.
Nilan felt guilty, because Hasmi could not enjoy his own party with his girlfriend. He was still thinking about Nilan.
"Don't worry about me, Has. I can do it myself."
"Relax, I'm going to be victorious" Tesla interrupted.
Nilan.
"Not, thank you."
He immediately avoided Tesla's gaze, then returned the attention to Hasmi.
"Sana, you two go. Enjoy this night."
"Ta but, Lan?"
"Gue's gonna be fine, Has."
Yeah, he thought, as long as it's away from Tesla's radar.
"Tes, take care of Nilan. Keep your hands away from him. She's a virgin!" willi.
He laughed, joked, patted Tesla on the shoulder, then led Hasmi away.
Nilan was grateful because this place was quite dark. He thought, the hue on the cheek so invisible.
A few seconds passed, one of Tesla's hands cupped Nilan's face. His thumb stroked the corner of Nilan's lips, in a sensual manner.
"I'm worried, Willi's warning is coming too late" Tesla whispered in the ear.
The breath was quite hot, hit the skin, making the fur of Nilan's nudge stand up.
