Samuel who noticed the change in his wife's expression immediately commented, “What if I told him frankly with Papa, Leen? He is my parents. He knows what happened to his future grandchildren. Papa and Mama were very happy when they found out you were pregnant. I'll tell Mama over the phone.”
“I know, Sam. But...,” said Aileen was still anxious. “I'm afraid your mama's gonna hustle first. Though.padahal is not necessarily a fetus in my womb is actually empty. Can you tell me the same papa but don't tell Mama first? Wait until we have finished seeing the other two doctors and get certainty about the condition of this fetus.”
Samuel looked at his wife. It seemed that Aileen was afraid that her mother-in-law knew about the possibility that her fetus was having problems.
Perhaps he was afraid of being blamed by Mama, the inner man guessed. Usually the mother-in-law is not suitable with the daughter-in-law. If things go wrong, the waiter is to blame.
“Don't worry, Leen,” said Samuel calmed the woman down. “I'll just tell Papa. Because I don't want to lie about why I didn't come to the office today. And then I'll tell Papa not to tell Mama about the problem in your womb. Papa can be trusted. Take it easy, yes.”
Aileen mustard listened to her husband's explanation. Well, it's okay if Sam's only papa knows, she thinks she's resigned. This guy never made it difficult for me. Different from his wife who sometimes likes to act like her own!
Next the couple continued their breakfast while conversing as usual. The two men acted as if nothing had happened yesterday. Nor did it allude to the moment when they kissed that time.
After the meal, Samuel offered to wash the dirty dishes. Aileen nodded her head in agreement. He was tired of cleaning the first floor and cooking breakfast.
After washing the dishes, Samuel immediately called his father at the office to ask for permission to leave. Then the man rushed over and mopped the second floor.
Meanwhile, Ruben who was alone in his study in the office looked pensive. The middle-aged man who still looked dashing sighed softly.
“Hopefully the doctor's diagnosis yesterday of Aileen's content was wrong,” he told himself. “Me and Tina are already very happy soon will be fond of grandchildren. It's not easy for me to get a daughter-in-law as good as Aileen. And I saw Sam also pay more attention to his wife. If until this first pregnancy has problems, I worry that it will have a bad effect on their relationship. After all I was the one who had betrothed Sam to Aileen. If anything happens to their marriage, ah..I am the one who feels the most guilty..”.

Apparently Ruben's hope did not come true. Two obstetricians the child met and his son-in-law today gave the same diagnosis as the doctor who previously handled Aileen's womb.
The fetus in the woman's womb is indeed blighted ovum. Empty and will not grow. It can occur due to incomplete cell division or because the quality of***** and the egg at the time of conception is not good.
Samuel had been silent since. He was looking for the right words to talk to his wife. The man himself had resigned that the content of Aileen should be curtailed. For him, it is not a problem that they still have to adopt children to realize the dream of their parents having a successor to the Manasseh family.
Finally, Aileen opened the conversation. “God has given his answer, Sam,” said the woman softly. “Indeed did not live up to my expectations. But yeah, never mind. I promised to obey His will. Tomorrow morning I'll call the doctor yesterday. I will say that..I am ready to be born-in to undergo curettage as soon as possible.”
Samuel snorting. No wonder his wife will be so calm to take a decision of this magnitude.
Aileen is an adult, she praised in her heart. He was able to be wise to deal with severe problems in his life.
“Why are you looking at me like that, Sam?” ask Aileen amusedly. “What are my words that are weird?”
Her husband took a long breath. The woman in front of him was fixed. “You're sure of your decision, Leen?” ask carefully. “ Won't regret it someday?”
Aileen shook her head strongly. “It's clear that this fetus can't be maintained anymore, Sam. If left alone, it will slowly fall by itself or if it grows even so pregnant wine. It just gets more troublesome. Our parents will also be disappointed. When I called earlier, my mom and dad were gone. They left the decision in both of our hands. They say we are the parents of this fetus. We are the ones who have the most right to decide their fate. And did not you yourself propose yesterday that we seek second and third opinions from other doctors? The second and third doctors had the same opinion as the first. Then we have to go back to the first doctor to do further action. Namely curettage..”.
Samuel was amazed to see Aileen's determination. He felt grateful that this matter did not become prolonged. After undergoing curettage, his wife will soon recover physically and spiritually. Nothing else worries him. James and the fruits of their love have gone far from his life. Aileen can live this life with a new spirit.
“Alright then, Leen,” says Samuel lightly. “Tomorrow morning you contact the doctor yesterday, yes. Said he'd schedule the curette operation as soon as you said you agreed, right? I'm ready to accompany you anytime. Just let me know when the schedule is and what are the requirements needed.”
“Thank you very much, Sam,” said the wife sincerely. “I really owe you. I don't know how I can repay all your kindness, Sam..”.
Samuel was stunned to see the look in Aileen's eyes that was not as usual. This time the eyes were not only full of gratitude, but also contained a different meaning. The man recognized him. His heart trembled as well as wept bitterly.
God, don't let this woman fall in love with me! his screams in the heart. I can't make her happy like a husband does with his wife. I can't afford to give him an inner living. I'm impotent!
