At Cilla's house just shut up. Since returning home from work, she has not asked her son Aji much. Aji also did not say much about the man who had bought him a burger at the mall where his mother worked.
A few minutes later, Aji seemed to have fallen asleep. Maybe he was tired so he could sleep earlier than usual.
Cilla looked at the body of her sleeping child. He took a deep breath several times to make his chest slightly more relieved, recalling the events of many years ago. Events that make him have to fight alone to rise from the slump.
At that time, Cilla had just entered the morning siff's work. He was cleaning and tidying things up in the store. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with his stomach. Cilla finally ran back, heading to the restroom at the back of the store, close to the restroom. Cilla spewed out all of her stomach contents. He was nauseous, dizzy and felt unwell.
The shopmate who had seen him ran to try to see himself in the bathroom. His friend was worried about Cilla's condition which did look pale from the beginning.
"Cill... Cilla's. You all right?" Ask Cilla's friend who followed her to the restroom. Madam Diyah, her friend is now a supervisor at her place of work.
"Emmm... Eghh... It's okay, ma'am!" Cilla stammered from inside the restroom.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Madam Diyah asked again.
"Yes Ma'am. Cilla's okay." Cilla answered by opening, the bathroom door. He looked a forced smile, although his face was clearly pale.
"You why Cilla? Your face is so pale! If you are sick, do not be forced to leave. Later if you get sick more difficult yourself!"
Mbak Diyah advised and warned Cilla. Cilla just nodded as a sign of understanding.
But it didn't last long. With a slow motion like in a replay, Cilla fell unconscious and unconscious.
"Please... Help...! Cilla fainted!" Diyah shouted for help to the other friend.
Some friends came and immediately helped cut Cilla's body so that it could be brought to the mall clinic. Fortunately in the mall there is a small clinic just in case there are visitors who are injured or experiencing health problems, as Cilla is currently possible. Fainted without notice.
A few hours later, Cilla regained consciousness from her stupor. He spread his gaze in all directions, but he could not yet remember the events that had happened.
Cilla tried to get up and blink her eyes a few times. Trying to remember what really happened to him.
"Eh, Cilla's already conscious." There was a voice of a man who was estimated to be about twenty-five years old.
He was a practicing doctor who had just graduated from medical school. For training, the young doctor received a job offer at an empty mall clinic, because the doctor had previously received a work call at one of the major hospitals in Jakarta.
"Why Doctor?" Cilla asked in confusion.
"It's okay. Cilla's sister had fainted and was delivered to her by her co-worker, Mbak Diyah and another one with short hair. I forgot his name."
The doctor explained to Cilla. But the doctor's gaze made Cilla wonder what really happened to her.
"Dok. May ask?" Cilla ventured to ask.
"Can. What do you want to ask?" The doctor smiled looking at Cilla who looked anxious and also nervous.
"I'm actually why Doctor?" Cilla finally ventured to ask. He was sure that something was wrong with his body.
"Emmm... What age is Cilla's mom?" The doctor asked, though hesitantly.
"Actually... Actually, I was only seventeen years old, almost eighteen Doc. But don't tell me Doc! You see yesterday when applying for work I admitted twenty years."
Of course the doctor was shocked by Cilla's answer and confession about her actual age. The doctor shook his head. He had been thinking about hearing Cilla's answer earlier.
"Is Cilla married?" The doctor asked carefully.
"Married? Not Doc! Why did the doctor think I was married?" Cilla was shocked and also astonished by the doctor's question which he thought was strange.
"Because Cilla's pregnant right now."
The duarrrr!!!
The answer from the Doctor certainly made Cilla was shocked, like there was lightning without rain first. She was bemoaning hearing an answer from the Doctor, who said she was pregnant.
"Pregnant?" Cilla repeated the doctor's answer with a question. And the doctor only replied by nodding his head confidently.
From then on, Cilla had to refrain from gossiping about her co-workers as well as people who did not know how things really happened.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Cill?" ask Diyah one day. Only Diyah still treated herself well.
"No Ma'am," replied Cilla quickly.
"Continue, who are you pregnant with?" tanya Mbak Diyah was confused by the answer from Cilla.
"Cilla's... Cilla, anyway Cilla doesn't have Ma'am's girlfriend, and this is the son of a man Cilla doesn't know."
Cilla didn't know what to tell her to answer her friend's question. He was confused and also embarrassed if he had to tell the truth.
"Yes, you have to take care of your pregnancy. The boy is innocent. Hopefully, he grows up to be a healthy, smart kid in the future."
Madam Diyah was very mature, not urging her to tell stories. Maybe maybe Diyah did not want to add to the burden of Cilla's mind, which certainly looks very depressed with all the problems.
Cilla closed her already watery eyes, recalling all the previous events. He remembered, only Diyah was still being nice to him. Even when his father died and he was expelled by his stepmother, Diyah also found a place for him to contact the house. The house he now occupies with Aji, the rented house of Mr. Adi.
*****
The next day, Cilla left for work as usual. But before he reached the store, there was someone who grabbed his ladder quickly and took him to a quieter place.
"Tell me if Aji is my son!"
Cilla was shocked by the question of the person. He is Gilang Aji Saka, the person he met yesterday at work with his son Aji. Gilang Aji Saka who turns out to be the son of the store owner, where Cilla worked from long ago. Before everything happened that night.
"What...what do you mean Sir?" cilla asked nervously and also worriedly.
"Cilla Andini's. I know that Aji is my son. That night's events turned out to make you carry my seeds, too." Gilang intimidates Cilla.
"No, he's not your son, sir!" refute Cilla quickly.
"I'll prove it. I will also tell this to Aji. Just see what I can do later!"
The threat from Gilang made Cilla scared. This day, while working, Cilla thought of resigning. He didn't want Gilang to know what the truth was. He also does not want, Aji, his son knows if Gilang is his father, a person he has never known his existence so far.
