The Effects of Early Marriage
61 Bad or Good News?

Arby takes Freya to school. In the car, they don't talk to each other. Since the incident at the mall, Freya increasingly bodo time with Arby. Arby was confused as to what to say to her. Moreover, the problem with Nuna was not finished. Nuna comes to him to campus and gets angry at him, making him a spectacle of people. Even Nuna was fighting with the girl who was in the mall at the time. They play jam-jambak and claw each other.

Still recorded clearly in Arby's memory when Freya left them in the mall with a look of hate and full of wounds, making her feel uncomfortable.

In the classroom while the lesson was going on, Freya was unable to concentrate and it disturbed Nuna. He glanced at Freya and accidentally saw a slight red mark on the side neck.

Nuna sighed and clenched her hands.

Goddamnit!

One month later

Freya enjoys her favorite fruit and vegetable salads and lemon tea. Not only that, he also ate boiled yams. The amount of material that he studied as a third-grader of High School who will later take the national exam makes ***** his meal increased.

Freya's hands sort through the brochures of universities in various countries. He is still confused, whether to choose the continent of Europe, America, or remain in the continent of Asia to continue his education and in which country.

Unlike Arby, the man looks not***** dine due to the overwhelming burden of college assignments. As a freshman who is still in the first semester, of course the lecture schedule is very dense with a large number of SKS, plus paper assignments for all courses and presentations.

He looks cranky, tired as a student plus the job of helping his papa now began to feel heavy. Of course being a student is not the same as being a High School student. More assignments and a lecture schedule from morning to evening, not to mention as much as possible he had to pick Freya up.

His face was pale, but he stayed awake at twelve o'clock.

"Don't put too much work on Arby, Pi. Look at him being thin and pale."

Elya felt sorry for his only child. Arby's heart doesn't go to college because of illness, and Freya is just picked up by the driver.

Freya glanced at Arby. The man's face was not as bright as usual.

The next day, Marcell, Vian and Ikmal came to see Arby. Their relationship (men's team vs. girls) is back no good, so when they cross paths with Freya, the girl just stares cynically.

"It looks like we will remain their eternal enemies."

No one can deny it. Since Junior High they have been hostile because of something that is still carried away until now.

🌸🌸🌸

Arby's condition is getting bad. During this one week he had to be treated, two days in the hospital and after that he asked to be treated at home only. There was no food that he could digest well, it seemed like his digestive system was compromised. He had vomiting and diarrhea.

The situation is inversely proportional to Freya who looks more plump with a radiant face. Maybe people will think that Arby's suffering is Freya's happiness.

Hueekk .. huueekk ...

Arby regurgitated his stomach.

Several doctors were brought in, including Anwar, Gani, Adam and Joseph. Urine and blood tests were also done, whether Arby suffered poisoning or not, but everything was fine.

Freya looked at Arby's open door. Inside were the doctors and Arby's parents. Without a second thought Freya entered the room. He saw that uninspired haggard face.

"He's why, Doc?" ask her to doctor Gani.

Doctor Gani explains the state of Arby and Freya listened to him very well. Not because he cares about Arby, of course not. But because Freya wanted to become a doctor, so she always focused on everything related to the world of health.

Actually the doctors were already suspecting something, but .. either do not want to believe or are afraid to express their opinion.

"Don't one of her boyfriends get pregnant." Freya expresses her opinion bluntly, and confronts the cynicism of Arby.

"What do you mean?" ask Arby sewot.

"That's a sign of couvade syndrome, isn't it, Doc?"

The four doctors looked at Freya with amazed and anxious gazes.

"It actually does lead to couvade syndrome."

"How do you mean?"

"Couvade syndrome or sympathetic pregnancy. The brief explanation is the symptoms experienced by pregnant women, but who feel it is the father of the fetus or those closest to it because of a strong inner bond."

"Arby, are you impregnating people's children?"

"Sad, I don't want to fuck."

"Honest answer, Arby!"

"Oath, Pi. There's no one I'm any woman other than Freya."

Freya blinked her eyes, holding her breath. He quietly retreated and hurriedly walked into his room then locked the door.

Anjir, there's no way I'm pregnant, right?

Freya saw the calendar, it was late for her schedule to come to the moon, but it also could not be used as a benchmark, because every time she was exhausted, the cycle came the moon was irregular.

In Arby's room

"Would Freya be pregnant?" ask Arlan.

"But whose child?"

"Well, if Freya's pregnant, it means my son dong, Mi."

"Couldn't you? When did the process happen? You didn't mean it to him, did you? Bla blah blah ...."

Arby spoke a thousand languages, recalling the events of that night when he was drunk.

So it's really real, huh?

But he also could not possibly tell the true events to his parents. Not only will Freya get into trouble, but so will she.

To say that they do it on the basis of liking is also impossible, because no one will believe.

In Freya's room

The teenager is still walking down and down. The only way to know everything if not checked is using a testpack.

He immediately put his school books and uniform into the bag.

Coinciding with Freya opening the room door, the people inside Arby's room also came out.

"Where are you going?"

"I have a group assignment, I want to stay at Nania's house."

Without waiting for approval, Freya slenderly goes to Nania's house escorted by the driver.

"You want to stay here, yeah?"

Freya nodded.

"I want to go to the minimarket first yes, buy snacks."

Before going to the mini market, he went to the pharmacy wearing a mask.

"Sir, I want to buy a testpack."

"What brand?"

"Wait a minute, Mom, I'll call my sister first."

Freya pretended to call her sister.

"Hello kak, what brand testpack?"

Pretend to listen to the answer.

"Oh yaudah."

"The best, Ma'am, he said."

Wanted up yesterday, but the signal was hard all day.
