My First Lovely Pregnancy

It was May the 2nd, i was at the office. I was broken at that time, resulting from hearing the news that my dad has collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital. Shocked by the news, i was planning to see my dad and fly to Padang. I was already looking at the tickets and arranging my schedule and stuffs like that, even contacted my husband and ask him to come and join me travelling to Padang. 

But somehow....

there is this sudden urge coming from inside of me saying that i should do a pregnancy test. i was already 11 days (maybe) late. i did not check before because at the first month of my marriage i was late as well, but turned out i wasn't pregnant. Based on that, i thought, this time i am not pregnant as well.

But having the idea of travelling to Padang i need to make sure that i am not pregnant. Without telling anyone, i bought the pregnancy test to the nearest Alfamart i could find. it was really cheap and i bought two brands just in case.

Little did i know.....something incredible was about to happen.

Back from the convenience store, i rushed to the toilet at my office. I read the 'how to use' part from the pregnancy test package. I had to find a bowl or a container somehow to place my urine at. thank god there was it, a styrofoam bowl in my room. I peed and peed, it felt so long and intense, i didn't this test would get me this much. I had no expectation whatsoever, my focus was at my dad in Padang. But doing the pregnancy test for real, expecting or not expecting, turned out to be an intense experience.

the package said that i had to wait for several minutes until the second lines can be read and interpreted. so i waited there. i could see the first line already, but not the second yet. I thought to myself that maybe this time too was a false alarm. Two minutes later, i looked at the tools one more time and there it is, the second line.......


the 2nd line emerged




I AM PREGNANT!!!!!
(the shock Anggita said at that time)



Can you imagine my feelings back there? my dad was sick but i was pregnant at the same time. i didn't know whether to be happy or sad. It was a mixed feelings. 

The next step was telling my family that i could not make it to Padang due to this pregnancy. and after that i called my husband, we were happy but shocked at the same time.
