Absent From Work

The days went by fast. The day turned to night as the months changed. In the blink of an eye, it didn't feel like it had been almost 3 months since Lisa worked at the Cendana Hotel. Finally, she became a permanent employee and was given a permanent salary. How happy Lisa was, she could support her small family in Jakarta and raise the child in her womb better now.

Her hands slowly went down to her lower abdomen and then rubbed them gently. A smile appeared on the edge of her lips as she said in her heart, "Honey, you must bring good luck to your mom. Take it easy honey, I will work hard for your survival until you are born."

Lately, Lisa had been nauseous and she vomited in the morning so often. To make matters worse, she also did it in the office! She always ran to the bathroom at 9 AM to spill her stomach. Always!
