Discarded After Childbirth
Chapter 56 - Selena's Lie


Time passed so quickly, Alwin was even 1 year old. Gea celebrated Alwin's birthday in the Gaza home park by laying a mat there as the base. For his own food, Gea chose to make Alwin yellow rice. Everything is not a message from the outside, but made by Gea. Starting from the food, garden decorations decorated by balloons are also invited guests.


I don't know since when Tamara and Mama Hani now look familiar like never again who look hostile. The two even talk often. So did Mr. Giandratama and Geovani. They look like old friends who meet again.


The atmosphere created there is only harmony, happy also jokes and laughter. Gea who saw that also became happy. Because on his first birthday Alwin attended by people who love Alwin. Even though the papa was not present, it was not a problem. Because it will not reduce the happy atmosphere of the birthday.


Cutting the tumpeng was done, the first piece Gea gave to Tamara, in accordance with Alwin's wishes. Then the next pieces are given to one by one of those who are there.


Alwin clapped as everyone ate voraciously. Even he chattering is not clear to make people who see it so anxious because of his funny behavior.


Tamara who saw her granddaughter looks happy, so feel it. Indeed, a child is better to join his mother if still at a very small age. He was relieved that he had not made the wrong decision.


"Your son is a fool to leave the precious Gea. Even I really want to make her my daughter-in-law" said Mama Hani while sitting next to Tamara.


"I don't know what David's mind is either. He was blinded by his love. If it may be selfish, I also want Gea to be my daughter-in-law again. But, I feel too bad that way. Even now, I don't know how it is. He did not contact me at all after being kicked out of the house" Tamara said in response to Mama Hani's words ending with a sigh.


"I can only hope, he's really changed. And hopefully his household and the economic needs of his small family are smooth even though they are not helped by the facilities of his parents," Tamara added.


"Yes, just pray, may what you pray be granted by God."


Tamara nodded. Then turned to look at his grandson who laughed loudly when playing with Gaza. Looking at Gaza is the best candidate to replace David as papa continued Alwin. He glanced at Mama Hani.


"Does Gaza not like Gea?"


Mama Hani sighed first before answering Tamara's question.


"Without me even answering, surely you can guess Tam. Only Gea can't see the love that Gaza gives."


"It's only natural, there might be a bit of trauma that Gea felt. His love was betrayed and abandoned. It must have left a deep wound. Even if I were told to start the staircase after experiencing something like Gea, I would think of thousands of you. Because the one who must be blessed is not only himself but his son."


"You're right, but if you don't get fished first, a guy like Gea won't be sensitive. Then continue, my son could be a weathered bujang."


Tamara laughed when she heard it. But he felt sorry too. But considering his son, he felt even more sorry. Until he breathed his breath.

Selena suddenly felt her body weak, her head dizzy and her stomach as if twisted and twisted very quickly to make her nauseous and want to vomit. He ran to the bathroom making David who saw it so panicked about the state of Selena.


In front of the room, David put his hand in front of his chin while walking back and forth waiting for the doctor who handled Selena to come out of the room. He was really worried, afraid that Selena would get seriously ill. Selena is rarely sick. But once it hurts it will be long.


After waiting for almost half an hour, the doctor came out and smiled while patting David on the shoulder.


David who was initially worried was confused by the behavior of the doctor. But, he chose to dispel the confusion by asking the circumstances of his wife.


"My wife why, Doc?" ask David.


"Your wife is pregnant. She has entered the second trimester, aka entering the fourth month of pregnancy. The content is strong, the state of the fetus in it is fine. His stings were, just because he was exhausted. It is better when your wife's content begins to grow please remind her not to do heavy things that can make your wife tired."


David who heard the explanation from the doctor was agape. He could not believe what the doctor said. As he recalled, his wife had a weak uterus, less likely to get pregnant. Even if it can, it means Selena must really rest and not do any activities.


"Doc, is my wife really pregnant?" david asked to confirm the doctor's words.


"right."


"But, the doctor used to say that the possibility of my wife being able to get pregnant and the fetus can develop is very minimal doc. Because her body is weak. One month of age has already miscarried. But, the doctor said that the content of my wife is strong. Did the doctor misdiagnose her?"


"What I say is true. Your wife's womb is fine. There's nothing wrong. Congratulations, you will soon be a father. If later your wife is aware, can be taken home immediately."


The doctor then left in front of David.


At first David was moved to hear the good news, because it means he will get offspring from Selena. Which means God gives them the opportunity to care for their child, the fruit of their love. However, David immediately remembered the words of the doctor who said Selena's uterus was not weak and the age of Selena's pregnancy entered the fourth month. As he remembered, he had only touched Selena's body in the last two months. Because Selena is always busy and often comes home the night in the previous months.


David's hand suddenly clenched, an aura of anger and disappointment began to overwhelm him. But, he tried to hold her back because now he was in the hospital, it was very unlikely that he would vent his anger there.


Shortly afterwards, Selena opened her eyes and asked what had really happened to her. David just shut up and did not answer and then invited Selena to go home.


In the taxi, David silences Selena. Selena gets confused about what happened to her and what happened to David.


Upon arriving at the apartment, David dragged Selena to the room and dropped Selena into the bed and stared hard at Selena's face making Selena goosebumps and frightened.
