"So, how would you like this matter to be resolved, Sarah?" asked Spencer, who was calmer about his sister's problem. More or less he took part in the life of his sister who became like this.
He and his mother left the decision to Sarah as this involved Sarah's own life.
"That's it, Bro. You and mom just come to school tomorrow. We'll see what they want to talk to you and mom. I hope there is the best solution for all my problems. I don't want any fuss, Bro," said Sarah to Spencer and their mother. Sarah walked slowly from the living room to her room.
But only when Sarah entered the room, did there the sound of a car entering Sarah's yard. Not long after, a male voice said greeting from the front door of their house.
"Yes, just a minute!" replied Spencer from inside and walked straight to the front of the house, "Doctor Archie? So bumpy, what happened tonight?" Spencer asked as he ushered Doctor Archie inside.
"Ah, I was just dropping by. I wanted to drop some vitamins for Sarah. She hasn't had a check-up this month. Is Sarah here?" Doctor Archie answered with a bit of hesitation and embarrassment.
Spencer smiled at Doctor Archie's words. Spencer had understood that Archie was paying special attention to his sister.
However, what can he do? Sarah was still the same as before, not allowing other men to get closer to her, even though Sarah herself had become kinder to other men. She is a quiet girl.
With Sarah's hard life, now Spencer is just trying to let his sister's life flow like water, even though he also pays attention to Sarah as a substitute for their father.
"Spencer, is Sarah here?" Doctor Archie repeated his question as he watched Spencer daydream.
"Oh, yes! Yes, Doctor. In a moment, Sarah is in the room, I'll call her first. We were just talking so I know she's not asleep," Spencer replied.
"Don't call me that, please! Just call me by my name. Aren't we the same age?" Archie turned down Spencer's overly formal call to him.
Archie is now sitting in the living room with Sarah's family. They chatted casually about many things. Before long, Sarah came with a cup of tea, which was reserved for Archie.
By wearing modest home clothes, Sarah made her appearance more fresh and beautiful, and a very distended belly that was printed on the back of her shirt, made Sarah's beautiful aura shine even more.
"Doctor, what's the need to come tonight?" asked Sarah kindly.
This was the first time Sarah was seen friendly to a man, apart from her husband and brother, even to Tommy and Johnson, Sarah was still indifferent sometimes.
Her friendly attitude towards Archie must have had a reason. Because Doctor Archie is the one who continues to motivate Sarah to continue to be excited about her pregnancy. Doctor Archie is also diligent in giving pregnancy advice at Sarah's young age who is prone to pregnancy.
When a girl of Sarah's age gets pregnant for whatever reason. There must be discomfort or feeling inferior when consulting a gynecologist. Maybe it's more accurate to feel like being ostracized for being pregnant at a very young age.
However, not for Sarah. Archie as the obstetrician is very friendly and continues to explain things that Sarah does not understand.
"I want to take these vitamins for you," Archie replied as he handed Sarah a packet of vitamins.
"Why didn't you come to check up on your pregnancy this month? You're already six months pregnant and almost seven months, Sarah. The third trimester should have been more routine check-ups," Archie explained.
"I haven't been to the hospital yet, Doctor. I'm busy studying for the midterm exams. I thought I'd just wait for next week, but you came and bothered to come here. Thank you, Doctor," Sarah replied with a smile and was thankful.
Sarah's mother and brother who saw Sarah at this time were grateful, Archie was here to give positive encouragement that they couldn't give Sarah. Until now everything is better, Sarah is more cheerful and happy to welcome the birth of her baby.
"Doctor Archie, I'll stay inside first, won't I?" Mrs. Katie said to Archie and went straight to the kitchen.
"Stu, let's play PlayStation. We haven't played in a long time, haven't we?" Spencer also took Stu as he pulled his youngest brother inside.
"Hey, what are you guys doing? Why is everyone leaving?" Sarah asked suspiciously at her family's movements.
"Maybe they know I want to have a private chat with you. Come on, let's talk on the terrace," Archie said to Aarah in a calm tone.
"What do you want to talk about, Doctor?" Sarah replied in a relaxed tone. Sarah looked as calm as possible so that Archie wouldn't think she was nervous about being around him.
In Sarah's heart, Archie was considered a very good friend. Nothing more than anything, because only Alex has her heart.
"I want to know your plans for the future. In less than three months, you will have your baby. What do you want to do?" Archie asked seriously which made Sarah turn to the doctor who had been watching her for a long time.
"I don't know yet, Doctor. Today I was just called by the school because my pregnancy was in question. The plan is that tomorrow, Brother Spencer or Mom will come to school,"
"Honestly, I want to graduate from school in peace. But it seems impossible. Now one school pays attention to me and spreads information that I am a child with bad relationships, I'm a bad girl."
Even though her lips were smiling, Archie knew that Sarah's heart must be sad and confused.
"I can only help wish you good news, Sarah. If there's anything or you need my help, just say so. I'll try my best to help you!" Archie encourages Sarah to stay strong.
"Why are you being nice to me?" Sarah asked as she turned to him.
"Because I care about you," Archie answered sure.
"Are you sure it's caring? We're not even that close and only see each other once a month. Are you sure it's caring? Isn't it pity?" Sarah asked with a sad smile as she looked ahead.
"You know, Doctor? Since everyone believes that my husband died, all I get from other people is a look of pity. They feel sorry for me who has to suffer such a fate,"
"Even though I don't need that kind of attention because I also don't want to share my sadness with others. So why does everyone pity me? I just need a prayer for my husband so he can come home soon. That's all!" Sarah's smile turned genuine, as she remembered Alex.
"You believe your husband is still around? What's the reason you believe that? May I know?" Archie asked again.
Laughing briefly at Archie, Sarah touched and gripped the necklace studded with sky blue stones, which hung around her neck.
"How can I not believe he's still out there somewhere? Alex's name will always be with me, Doctor,"
"He once said he would always be close to me, even though we were far away, and I believed it!"
"As long as no one can prove that Alex died, I'm sure he will come home one day," Sarah smiled as she hugged her big belly.
Sarah turned to Archie who was also smiling while shaking his head. He was amazed to hear Sarah's strong story.
How tough this young girl in front of Archie was. Life is complicated, ordering it to be a strong person. Sarah's heart is also very soft and strong. Who would not love and care for a girl like this?
*
On the other side of Sarah's house, there was a young man who was watching Sarah with a serious look.
The young man looked at Sarah's naturally beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight while looking up at the sky with a sad look.
It seemed that clear tears were flowing from Sarah's beautiful eyes, making the eyes that had been watching Sarah's figure all this time, unable to stay still and just nailed where he was standing at this time.
'Sarah, why is your life like this? It hasn't been a year since we last saw each other. I haven't even become anything yet, but your life is already ruined like this,'
'Please, this time let me love you. Let me be the focus of your tears now. For whatever reason, this time I will not leave you again. Even if you throw me out, I'll still be here. I will be with you forever,'
Tears also flowed from between the already reddened eyes of the man who was staring at Sarah.
After wiping the tears off his face, he walked closer to Sarah's house.
"If you two just sit together like this, usually the current part is a nuisance demon. But I'm too handsome to be called a devil,"
The words of the man who had just arrived in front of Sarah's house shocked Sarah and Archie.
"How are you, Sarah? Don't you miss me?" continued the man said casually and smiled.
"Ben?" Sarah was surprised to see Ben's figure was in front of her.
