Mama'S Twin
Undecided

Julie looked at the business card with trembling hands.

"drs. AnnaTomya"

Already far away and struggling to escape, he was destined to return to see Anna's doctor.

Julie feels weak. Can't there be another doctor in the world?

"Aren't there any more who's as good as Anna's doctor?" ask Julie again with great hope.

"There certainly is. But abroad. There is another doctor in Delphi who is now moving out of the island. If I were you, I would do what was best for my baby. You suffer complications and the birth will be at great risk" Felana's doctor advised.

Julie just fell silent. Eyes glazed. Of course Felana's doctor doesn't know the thorny problem she's facing. Doctor Anna will definitely tell Dario. Especially if he accidentally runs into Mrs Sanio. He went to the hospital to check on his health.

"You can't get on a plane anymore, ma'am. There will be no doctor who will dare to give permission to fly for pregnancy like you. Suresh is the best. You should prepare for early birth. You also need blood donations because of severe anemia. To keep in mind if you have severe bleeding after surgery," doctor Felana advised.

Julie nodded. He's been feeling fine all along. What she doesn't know about twin pregnancies is more risky. Especially about birth. He has to be extra careful.

"Good, doc. Take it" he said before leaving.

Julie finishes hospital administration and orders a burger at a tavern next to the hospital.

He sat alone looking at the burger with no taste. But he still ate it. The baby in her stomach needs food from her.

He looked at Anna's doctor's number once again with a grim face.

Should he go back to Suresh?

Is it possible that Anna's doctor is willing to help her to keep her whereabouts from Dario?

Ah, but it's impossible. Doctor Anna Tomya is Dario's old best friend. He would definitely tell Dario his condition.

Julie ate the burger with teary eyes. Was his decision to run away all this time wrong? But he just wanted to protect his son.

Julie finished her meal quickly then walked to the stop. He won't take the bus. But the place was shady enough to wait for a passing taxi.

Delphi is a small town, not as big as Suresh. Taxis rarely pass. Residents prefer to take the train or city bus.

Julie sat on the bench alone. He looked at the lonely road.

As he looked up, the leaves of the tabebuya fell on his head.

Yes, it's early autumn. The doctor said that in late autumn or early winter, the baby would be ready to be born.

Julie is scared for the first time. She fears her baby's life is threatened.

He was even more afraid that he would not survive. How will babies grow up without it?

Julie shook her head strongly. That can't happen. He did not want the children to be like Athena or her orphaned self.

Yes, maybe going back to Suresh is a choice he should take.

Julie exhaled her breath filled with feelings of anxiety and worry. Her tears were unstoppable again. He rubbed it before it flowed more.

He then saw his shoes full of flowers falling out. Taxis are not coming.

Dario accompanied Shan into the apartment. The quiet atmosphere he felt.

Dario rushed to his room. There's another little safe under his desk. He kept important documents from Dante Bank there. He believes this is the safest place.

Dario went out again and was about to go into Julie's room. He missed so much he didn't know what to do.

"You should see Mrs Sanio," Shan reminded.

Dario just sat there pensively. He remembered all the memories recorded in his memory.

The hard times where Julie struggled with her nausea. The moments they talked together. Julie's smile, her tone firm and straightforward. Ah, he's so missed.

I don't feel her tears dripping. He opened the closet. Smells it. Ah, not Julie. It's just his clothes.

Dario's chest was more tight to hold the miss.

***

An orange taxi passed. Julie stood up and stopped him.

The taxi driver stopped the vehicle and got off. He wants to open the door.

"Relax, I can do it myself" Julie said unpleasantly.

"I'm just worried about my pregnant passenger, ma'am. Be careful," he said kindly and then closed the taxi door slowly.

Julie mentioned her direction. He just daydreamed while gently leaning his head.

What should he do now.

Ah, only Athens is the only place to pour out all its burdens.

There used to be Dario who was always there for him.

Ah, Dario. After all she was her husband, the father of the children she contained.

Dario always tries to understand.

Dario apologized hundreds of times and admitted his mistake at that time.

Dario who tried his hardest to make amends.

I don't feel like Julie shedding tears. Is she really in love with that guy?

The man he admired when he was his secretary.

Then the man hated her half to death after desecrating her and impregnating her.

And now, the man showed his love and concern blatantly. He even married her. His wife has divorced him. Especially now who doubts it?

I don't know, Julie just wants her son to live in peace. After all the child will be labeled bad for being born due to an illicit relationship. Yes, even though their marriage has been inaugurated.

The taxi kept going fast. Julie opened her bag. He pulled out his phone.

There are 5 contacts that he keeps in his new number.

Athena was certainly number one in her contacts. Then Miss Allie, Aunt Elly, Anna's doctor and the other one is Dario.

Does he have to call Dario now?

Did Dario still love him even though he had left him?

Julie looked at the screen of her phone doubtfully. He moved his hand to tap the screen.
