Dream Crack
RM174. Second opinion
"The formation of this cyst, occurs because of a problem in the process of fetal formation in the womb. So actually, there is an abnormal formation in fetal growth. She should have grown outside the uterine wall, she grew it inward so."
Givan immediately did not believe the doctor's explanation, because as long as he checked up regularly. He never got any information about anything like this. He had never heard of the bad news of the fetus that his wife conceived.
"But it used to be, Doc. I routinely bring my wife a check up and never get information like this." Because Givan went to a different hospital this time, because their doctor's practice subscription at their regular hospital checks up, empty today.
"Sir Givan can check again at another hospital, if necessary check the blood as well. Let's be more convincing, right? Mr. Givan please seek a second opinion. I'm not offended, I'm suggesting this is to be more certain, sir." The doctor looked at Givan and Canda in turn.
Without Canda's approval again, Givan straightened his feet. "Good, Doc. Excuse me," he said kindly by holding the hand of his wife who was still sitting.
"Together, Mr. Givan." The doctor brought Canda's pregnancy notebook.
In a hospital further away, Givan received the same verdict. In fact, he got the bitter news that one of his wife's fetuses was no longer developing. A very fast process, unexpected by Givan.
Hope delivered only one, hopefully the cyst that is in the womb of his wife does not grow bigger and urge the only fetus that survives in the womb Canda. Without looking at the history of Canda cesarean section, doctors still recommend that labor be done later by cesarean to remove the cyst.
The doctor noticed a history of routine check-ups done by Canda. Last month, everything went well. However, one month later, Canda's pregnancy was problematic. Indicates, that the growth of the cyst is so fast. Even the size is now equivalent to the four-month-old fetus.
"So, is there a special recipe, Doc?" Givan gulped his saliva before asking a question.
He was giving strength, through the grip of his hand on his wife. Canda was downcast, crying stifled at the news that turned out to be worse than the first news.
"There, Sir. In order to inhibit the growth of the cyst. You see, I'm sure. Over time the cyst gets bigger, your wife will also feel pain. Tried check up routine huh, sir? So, do not eat ready-to-eat food first. Eat healthy and nutritious foods for pregnant women." The woman's doctor held out a piece of paper with a prescription that Givan could not read.
"Good, Doc. Thank you." Thank you." They both came out of the room.
In a parked car. Canda and Givan swiped Canda's stomach, not expecting bad news to come in unexpected circumstances. He was still wondering, how could the cyst grow so fast in the womb of his wife.
"Mas Givan cried?" Canda only realized that her husband's eyes were wet with a reddened face.
Givan did not reply, he hugged his wife more tightly to hide her face. He remembered his stupid attitude, when he got the sad news from Ai. He did not even help to cover baby Ai with a public burial ground in his village.
Is all this reciprocal, for he has no mercy? What all this happened, because he was so hearty in the baby that Ai was born. Givan really thinks that the law of karma is cash in a short time.
"We go home yuk? Rest." Givan kissed his wife's forehead long enough.
"Mas, so what action should be taken in my stomach?" ask Canda by rubbing her husband's wet eyes.
Givan took Canda's hand from there. He was quite embarrassed, because he was caught crying about it.
He did not expect, it turns out that in the stomach of his wife filled a fetus that lives next to the disease. The thing that made him wonder only one, where did the other fetus go? This is still not in his shadow, because the doctor only said there was abnormal growth of one of his unfortunate fetuses.
After getting a prescription for the drug. Givan took Canda to eat with his processed vegetables, then he gave his wife a prescription drug that he had redeemed. A few minutes later, Givan Senagaja took Canda to rest and fell asleep during the day.
When Canda was completely slumbering, he rushed to his mother's house. Only his mother, his place complained about all the things that concern his family life.
He came to his mother's room with teary eyes. He only gave a glimpse of the greeting Awang, who was on the porch of his parents' house.
Surprised, Adinda hinted at her net that was wide open. His grown-up son, still like a child. Manners no less he taught his children, but they still more often nyolonong into his room rather than knock it first.
"Gee! You're this! If Mamah and Papah are not dressed how?!" ketus Adi, when he realized the existence of his stepson who immediately embraced his wife.
"Why you? Another storm with Canda?" Adinda rubs the wide back of her firstborn.
She had just performed congregational prayers during this Dzuhur time with her husband, she had not had time to wear back her veil.
"Canda has a dermoid cyst, Mah. Our baby's missing one." Her tears broke in her mother's arms. He is not ashamed to show his crybaby, he is not ashamed to expose his weakness to his mother.
Adi and Adinda looked at each other in disbelief.
"How is Canda doing now? Where is the joke?" Adi had already imagined the state of her helpless daughter-in-law.
"I told Kelonin to take a nap, Pah." There was a flickering answer, amidst the panic and worry that ensued.
"But Canda is fine now? Is she at home?" Adinda framed the face of the first occupant of her womb. Then he wiped Givan's tears, then held his two arms to keep him facing.
Givan nodded. "He's fine, but I'm not okay."
"Cep, baby-sick. Don't cry anymore." My sister treats her child like a child.
"Janin Canda lost to where, Mah? Why is there only one now, Mah?" Givan showed a picture of his wife's USG.
Adinda took over the picture, then she took her son to sit on the edge of the bed. Adi approached his wife, then peeked at the photo in his wife's hand.
