Not the Seeds That Should Be
Chapter 6. Giving Birth Before It's Time

Eight months later.

The time to give birth has finally come. Sharmila felt very worried because of her current state. She was also worried that her husband knew that her birth was a lie, even though they both looked happier waiting for their first child.

However, the day of birth finally arrived and Sharmila felt extremely anxious. He felt like something was wrong and was worried about what was going to happen. Even though she desperately wanted to tell the truth to her husband, she was afraid that it would make her feel angry and disappointed.

Rian realizes that Sharmila is very anxious and tries to calm her down. "Don't worry, dear," said Rian softly. "Everything will be fine. We're gonna do this together."

Sharmila looked at her husband with a worried look. "Are you really sure?" ask Sharmila.

"Yes, I'm sure" replied Rian. "We've prepared everything well and we're going to get through this together. I will always be there for you."

Sharmila was relieved to hear her husband's words and felt strength in the support given by Rian. She felt like she was no longer alone and felt stronger and more confident when facing the birth of her child.

However, when it came time to go to the hospital, Sharmila felt anxious again. She felt like she was not ready to go through the birth process, and was worried about what would happen during labor.

Rian took Sharmila's hand gently and said, "Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. We're gonna get through this together. I'll always be by your side, baby."

Sharmila felt very grateful to have a husband who strengthened her in this difficult situation. He felt like he was no longer alone and had someone who had always been by his side, no matter what happened.

When they arrived at the hospital, they were greeted by a friendly and skilled medical team. Sharmila felt a little calmer as she watched them work with care and precision. He felt like he had been placed in good and safe care.

However, as the birth process began, Sharmila felt intense pain and grew anxious. He felt like he would not be able to continue. But Rian never left her even for a moment. She clasped Sharmila's hand tightly and provided strong verbal support.

"You can do it, baby. You are very strong" said Rian. "I'm here for you, always and forever."

Sharmila was relieved to feel she was no longer alone when Rian was by her side. He felt like he had greater strength and courage when Rian was by his side. Even though he was in pain, he felt like he could continue.

After a while, the baby was finally born safely.

But after the baby was born, Sharmila felt different feelings such as happiness, relief, fatigue and worry. She is grateful that the birth of her baby has been successful and now she has a healthy child. However, she felt exhausted and drained of her energy due to the laborious labor process

Unfortunately what Sharmila was worried about became reality. Rian who actually already knows all about him, feels dislike because the child has nothing in common with him.

Rian tries to find out how to ask Sharmila without hurting her feelings.

"Sharmila, I have to ask you something very important. Do I know who our son's biological father really is?" rian asked slowly, so as not to surprise Sharmila.

But unfortunately Sharmila was clearly visible that she was nervous and anxious.

"Mas Rian, I-I know that you feel suspicious. And I understand that you want to know the truth. Ta-pi you should get ready, because my answer might surprise you."

"What do you mean, Sharmila? What the hell is going on?" tanyanya pretended not to know about the true state of Sharmila all this time.

"Ma-afs. Sorry, Rian. You're not our son's biological father. A-well, the biological father is Alex."

Rian was silent for a moment, looking very surprised. "What's? How could? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Sharmila was also nervous and frightened. "My dear, I know this is very hard to bear, Rian. Ta-pi, I-I wish you could forgive me. I-I love you, Rian mas. Ta-pi I made a big mistake by having an affair with Alex before we got married. I-I wish you could understand that I'm in a difficult and gravely wrong situation with Alex."

Rian let out a long sigh even though his hands were clenched tightly. He tried to restrain himself, because from the beginning he had already stressed to himself not to get emotional.

"I don't know what to do. How can you do this to me, Sharmila? I feel like you've betrayed my trust and hurt me."

Sharmila lowered her head and sobbed. "Hikss hiks... I-I know I've made a big mistake, Rian. Ta-pi I wish we could get through this together and love this kid. W-w-w-w-would I do to fix this mistake?"

"I need time to think things through. But for sure, I still love you, Sharmila. And I will always love this child. But this is not a problem that can be solved easily. I need time to think about it."

After that conversation, Rian felt hurt, angry and disappointed, even though he basically knew everything. He felt that Sharmila had betrayed him and was saddened by the situation. However, he also feels that he still loves Sharmila and the child, because after all he took care of Sharmila while pregnant. It takes time to think things through and figure out a way to deal with the situation.

But because Rian is already affectionate with Sharmila and her son, she gets resistance from her mother who asks her to divorce Sharmila. Her mother suspected that her daughter-in-law was pregnant before they were married.

Rian was distraught and confused by the situation he was facing. After learning firsthand by his wife's own confession that the newborn child was not his biological child, Rian felt sad and disappointed. However, this feeling could not match his affection for Sharmila and her son. Rian still decides to stay with Sharmila and take care of their child.

However, a new problem arises when Rian's mother learns that Sharmila has given birth to a child who is not bleeding Rian. Rian's mother begins to get suspicious and asks Rian to divorce Sharmila.

Rian feels trapped between two choices, divorcing Sharmila and losing her loved ones or staying with Sharmila and fighting her family.

"It's Rian's fault! Mama doesn't accept!"

The conversation between Rian and his mother became tense. Her mother could not accept the fact that her daughter-in-law was pregnant before marriage. Rian tries to explain that he loves Sharmila and will stay with her, but her mother does not want to listen to her explanation.

"Ma, I know you're not happy with the situation, but I love Sharmila and our son. I can't divorce her just because our son is not my son" Rian said with firmness.

"You should divorce her, Rian. This is unacceptable. We are from a respectable family, and you must take firm and appropriate action" his mother replied in a stern tone.

Rian felt sad and disappointed by his mother's attitude. He tries to explain again that Sharmila is not to blame for this situation and that they both have to take responsibility as parents. However, his mother still did not want to listen to his explanation.

"Ma. Mama can't force me to divorce Sharmila. I love him and our son, and I don't want to lose them. You have to try to understand this situation and give support to my family" Rian said in a voice that began to rise.

The conversation ended with a quarrel between Rian and his mother. Rian was saddened and disappointed by his mother's attitude, but he remained steadfast in his decision to remain with his wife and child.
