My employer, my husband
Age of Pregnancy Melisa

"Keanu, I told you, I'm fine. Don't worry about me like this! It's commonplace anyway, isn't it?" persuade Melisa.

Keanu did not care, but he ordered Sid to take them to the hospital. Although Melisa has asked him to return to their residence for various reasons.

"That's it, not a lot of excuses! I'm afraid anything's happened to you and our baby, Melisa!" sahut Keanu's.

Eventually Melisa relents, she resigns and lets Sid drive them to the Hospital.

Along the way, Melisa could only grimace with the pain she felt in her stomach. While Keanu tried to relieve the pain felt by Melisa by gently stroking her stomach.

"Hold it, Mel. Soon we arrive at the Hospital" Keanu said with a worried face.

After a while, they finally arrived at the Hospital. The nurses came to greet Melisa and she immediately got help.

Keanu waits outside the room, where Melisa is being treated. It had been almost an hour he waited there, until finally the Doctor in charge of checking the situation Melisa was out.

The doctor approached Keanu with a friendly smile. "You're the patient's husband?" ask the Doctor.

"Yes, Doc. I am her husband" Keanu replied.

The doctor smiled again. "We'd better talk in my room, sir. There's something I want to tell you and it's very important" the doctor said, inviting Keanu to come with him.

Keanu immediately got up and followed the Doctor to his room. Not to forget, the doctor also invited Keanu to sit in a chair in front of his desk. "Please sit down, sir."

Keanu sat down and watched the doctor. "How's my Wife and Son doing, Doc?" keanu asked with a panicked face.

"Actually this is so, Mr ...?" The doctor's words stopped, though,

"Keanu," said Keanu.

"Mr Keanu, actually your wife's content is fine. This all happened because Madam Melisa had too many thoughts. This is not very good for your baby. And according to Mrs Melisa, she has been under a lot of stress lately. Is that true, Mr Keanu?" ask Doctor.

Keanu fell silent while thinking about his relationship with Melisa which lately is indeed a problem. Not to mention the new problems that befell his wife's family.

"Yes, Doc. Lately my wife is indeed a lot of trouble," said Keanu with a downcast face. For some reason, he felt very guilty towards the woman. Because all this time he was too focused on Naila and forgot Melisa who also needed herself as a husband.

"Well, that's why Mrs Melisa's content can be as dark as that. It's too much of a thought and it could affect your baby's condition, Mr. Keanu. I'm afraid Miss Melisa will give birth prematurely" the doctor said.

"Actually my wife's gestational age is how many weeks, Doc?" ask Keanu. Keanu felt astonished when he saw Melisa's already big belly. Their marriage was just corn-sized.

Keanu had often asked the age of his wife's pregnancy, but Melisa was so good at switching their conversation. Until Keanu finally forgot his question. And today was Keanu's chance to ask the Doctor directly about it.

Actually Keanu embarrassed to admit that he did not know at all how old his wife was. And impressed, she doesn't care about Melisa's pregnancy.

Keanu shook his head while saying, "I really don't know, Doc."

The doctor smiled again, "Your wife's relationship has been 28 weeks" said the doctor.

Keanu fell silent again and his facial expression at that moment was so clear that he was thinking hard. Keanu tries to remember the date of his marriage with Melisa as well as Melisa's current gestational age.

"But, Doc! How could Melisa's gestational age exceed our married age? Is it possible that this could happen?!" keanu asked with a panicked face.

"It could be, sir. Yes, it's possible that you and your Wife have," 

"No, no! We never did that before the wedding day, Doc!" sela Keanu panicked.

Now it was the doctor's turn to be silent. He felt confused and compassionate to Keanu. Keanu who could not hide his disappointment towards Melisa, sobbed in front of the Doctor.

"Owh, God how did this happen!" lirih Keanu while sobbing.

"Sir, we are also human. Our calculations could be wrong! You should not suspect your wife first. However, if you still feel doubtful, you can do a DNA test on the baby," said the doctor, trying to calm Keanu who was already unable to stem his sadness.

"You're right. I have to do that test! but, I have to wait for the baby's birth first, don't I, Doc?" asked Keanu while wiping his tears.

The doctor smiled again. "No need, Mr. Keanu. If you do want to do a DNA test, you can do it even when the baby is still in the womb. However, my advice is that you should wait until the baby is born. Given the condition of your wife who is still weak. I'm afraid that if you do it now, your wife will be getting down and it will affect the state of the baby" said the doctor.

Keanu rubbed his face rough. He leaned his body against the back of the chair while staring at the ceiling of the room. The man exhaled heavily while confirming his sitting position. "Alright, Doctor. I had to wait until the baby was born. I also don't want the baby for anything, even if he doesn't belong to me" Keanu said.

The doctor exhaled softly while smiling wryly at the man in front of him. And after that, Keanu also said goodbye. He came out of the room in shaky steps. His face grew increasingly tangled, given the betrayal Melisa had committed to him.

"Yes, God! Maybe this is the karma I have to accept for hurting Naila" he murmured as he stepped into the room, where Melisa was being treated.

"How, Master?" sid asked with a worried face toward Keanu who had just arrived in front of Melisa's room.

Keanu again exhaled heavily and then sat down in a waiting chair in front of the room. "I'm ruined, Sid! It turned out that Melisa had betrayed me," Keanu said as he rubbed his face violently.

Sid was silent for a moment while watching his master. Sid was confused, he did not understand what Keanu said. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't understand what you're saying" Sid said.

"Melisa has betrayed me, Sid! How could her gestational age exceed our marriage age?! I never touched her before our wedding day. And that night ..." Suddenly he remembered that disappointing honeymoon. Where does she know that Melisa is no longer a girl.

"Oh, God!" keanu muttered as he ruffled his hair. "I'm so sure Melisa's been lying to me all this time! It's worth it that she always switched the conversation if I asked her how old the pregnancy was" Keanu said.
