the strange aroma felt like stinging my nostrils, making me form instantly and open my eyes. I slowly tried to sit up and saw Freya who was sitting near me while beside her was Leonardo.
"Finally you're awake," Freya said with a relieved smile.
I just kept silent and covered my face while massaging my forehead with my right hand, thinking about what happened before. This nausea and dizziness also bothered me, making me unable to concentrate anymore.
"You better get out, I want to talk to her privately," Leonardo said, which made me glance directly at him. 'Why did he have to ask Freya away?'
Freya immediately stood up and then hurriedly left the room, so now it was just me and Leonardo here. it feels very lazy to stare at him, especially now that I still don't know for sure whether I'm pregnant or not, and if I'm pregnant, that means it is his baby.
'That would be a nightmare for me,' I thought anxiously, then quickly sat up and thought about leaving the room.
"You can't leave before you explain to me!" Leonardo said as he grabbed my hand and sat beside me.
I narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm tired, I'm not feeling well. Please don't go looking for trouble!"
he just kept silent and then took something from his coat pocket and showed it to me.
"Is this yours?" he asks while I stare above his palm is a pregnancy test kit like the one I used this morning. I immediately reached into my raincoat pocket but did not find the test kit and that means the test kit in his palm was mine.
"No one is using this tool here, Freya's explanation already strongly indicates that this test kit is yours!" he said again firmly.
I took a deep breath and glanced at him lazily. "then what would you do if this was mine?"
he paused and turned his head away from me.
I picked up the test kit and looked at it closely to make sure the other red line was still the faintest color.
"You are pregnant," he said.
"No!" I insisted, glancing curtly at him. "one of the lines is only a dim color...I'm not sure I'm pregnant... there might be a glitch in the test!" I tried to be optimistic though I was really scared.
"But Freya said that the result of the test kit is positive. If it's negative then there won't be two lines. One line with a faint color means nothing... If you're not pregnant then only one line will appear, no there are two lines of this kind!" He said so confidently.
I was silent, fear and confusion enveloped my heart.
"If you get pregnant it will be very bad for you," he said again. "your parents will be so mad... you haven't finished college you're even still in an internship, and your parents don't like your boyfriend either! .you will be in big trouble! I know you hate me I know we are like enemies, but I feel sorry for you now...how..."
"If I get pregnant, maybe this is your child," I said before he finished speaking.
"What?"
"After we have sex that night, I never have sex with my boyfriend or any guy!" I insisted, staring at him with hatred and fear imagining how Sebastian would respond if I was pregnant with another man's child. ."I was never ready for this... my boyfriend will be mad, he will leave me, he must be disgusted by me... I don't want that to happen... I don't want to have kids with you... Zoe will be mad, everyone I'm going to get angry. Even I'm very angry too!" I said in frustration, then stood up and looked at the confused Leonardo.
"I can't do this, I have to do something!" I hurriedly walked towards the door.
"Hey, stop!" Leonardo immediately chased and grabbed my hand until I turned to face him.
"What? What are you going to do to me?" I asked with emotion.
"You can't panic now. Who knows the test kit is wrong!" he said out loud. "we better go to the hospital now...we'll check with the obstetrician to make sure whether you're pregnant or not. Don't be prejudiced first, it can stress you out!"
"But Freya already explained, and it makes a lot of sense even though I don't want to admit it!"
"Then let's go to the hospital and check it out!" he held both of my shoulders and looked at me very intensely. "we have to make sure ... I don't want you to be like this either ... I don't want Zoe to be angry, I don't want our relationship or you and your boyfriend to fall apart!" he continued.
I paused, feeling what he said was true...I should have had a re-examination by the doctor, and hopefully, the results will be negative so I don't have to be dizzy anymore.

Unable to refuse and indeed needing reassurance, I followed Leonardo's advice to go to the hospital...I walked out of the room with him, crossing the employee rooms which were only bordered by one-and-a-half-meter wall partitions. I silently lowered my head, feeling strange because they pay so much attention to me.
'could it be that they all know about the test kit? or maybe only Freya knows?'
"Freya..."
suddenly Leonardo called Freya who was chatting with a female employee named Donita. Freya immediately approached us and occasionally glanced at me, and of course, it made me nervous and embarrassed because she knew that I was using that test.
"Don't tell them about the Georgina thing," Leonardo whispered with a very serious look.
Freya immediately nodded. "Yes, sir..."
Leonardo turned to glance at me, then held my hand and led me to continue walking towards the elevator.
Arriving at the elevator, I immediately grabbed my hand until he released his grip.
"No need for this!" I insisted, distancing myself from him.
.he exhaled roughly, glancing at me mysteriously. I don't know if he's angry or what, what's certain is that I suddenly hate his handsome face more.
'I hope I'm not pregnant, I can't imagine how my life would be if I did!' I thought angrily.
.drett... dirt...
My attention was diverted to the sound of a cell phone ringing from his coat pocket. He immediately picked it up and answered the call.
"Hello, baby?" he said, instantly I thought it was Zoe calling, and imagined if I was pregnant and Zoe found out, maybe she would be very angry and disappointed in me.
"I can't see your manager right now...I have important business... this is urgent," Leonardo said, occasionally glancing at me but I immediately looked away. "Okay... sorry. maybe tonight or tomorrow, I will help you…"
Ting ...
The elevator door opens. He looked back at me and suddenly I was lazy to go to the hospital with him.
"Come on ..."
"I'll go alone," I said curtly.
"Why?" he frowned.
"It's okay... I can check it out myself..." I walked out, walking hastily.
Suddenly he took my hand and we walked together.
"I'm involved in this matter, so I have to be with you. I have to know the truth!" he said as he continued walking.
I'm just silent, lazy to argue. we kept walking ignoring the other employees on the ground floor who were watching us. it was probably because we held hands, and it made me uncomfortable, worried they would say this to Zoe, and then the trouble started.

it only took about 15 minutes, we finally arrived at the hospital which is not far from the office. Incidentally at that time the obstetrician named Dr. Grace was no longer treating patients so he could treat me directly.
she asked me to lie down on the examination bed, then began to examine my body starting with my heartbeat, then blood pressure, and ending with an examination of my stomach. this gave increased to such intense anxiety that my heart fluttered even more.
."Don't worry," Dr Grace whispered with a smile.
I just nodded, not wanting to say why I was worried because it was so embarrassing.
"Since when are you nauseous?" she asked.
"Um, since a few days ago, I've started to feel nauseous and dizzy, especially in the morning," I said nervously.
."Are you late for your period too?"
I took a deep breath, then nodded.
"Have you done the test?"
I nodded, then reached into my coat pocket for a pregnancy test kit and gave it to Dr Grace.
Dr. Grace looks at the pregnancy test while Leonardo just used to be such an idiot. yes, to me He was such a dope because he wasn't careful about making love to me that night.
"This has shown positive results... you pregnant," said Dr. Grace, instantly making my heart flutter and I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. this is very tight, I can't believe this and start imagining what will happen in the future.
"Doctor ..." Leonardo got up from the chair and approached the doctor with a worried look. "but wouldn't it be better to do a retest or something else to confirm that she is pregnant or not?"
"Yeah..." Dr. Grace nodded casually then turned to glance at me. "we can do an ultrasound now. to find out how old the pregnancy is."
"Do it," Leonardo whispered.
Dr. Grace immediately prepared the ultrasound equipment while Leonardo just crossed his arms and glanced at me. I'm just silent thinking about what will happen to my relationship with Sebastian when he finds out that I'm pregnant, I'm sure he will know because my stomach will be big, even my family will know, and I can't say that this is his child because you never fucked again.
."This is going to be very messy," I said softly, immediately wiping away the tears that just dripped from my eyes.
"We'll find a solution," he replied softly.
I was annoyed, and immediately looked away...I don't want to see his face, he is like a disaster for me, he is not only my enemy in trivial matters, but he is also destroying my life now.
