Only Raised Children
126. A Man


This morning Alina was getting ready with Santi and Zara to go to the hospital. They will do a content check at once to find out the gender of their grandchildren. Santi and Zara were already impatiently waiting for the arrival of her granddaughter to this world, moreover it was the first grandchild for Santi and Irfan.


Although not the grandson of the Renaldi family, but he and Irfan will still consider the baby to be born is his biological grandson, as well as he considers Rico as their biological son so far.


That morning Santi had arrived at the Wilson residence, they were going to leave together with Rico who was going to be the driver of the three women. On the way to the hospital, Santi and Zara begin to second-guess the gender of their grandchildren. Although no matter what the gender of his granddaughter, but it was fun for them to do guessing like this. 


"When viewed from the round stomach of Alina, it seems like her daughter deh," said Zara.


"Where can you guess like that. Alina's stomach is round because she is pregnant, not that her child is female. Precisely I think Alina's son deh, because lately he likes to eat vegetables," said Santi anyway.


"Well, what's the difference between eating vegetables, meat, seafood, and fruit?" asked Zara in surprise.


"According to what I heard, if pregnant women eat more vegetables and their fathers eat meat, it's a sign of their son. And vice versa" said Santi explained.


She had heard this through a YouTube channel that explained about pregnancy. Not knowing right or wrong, but Santi assured it because the one who said it was none other than a doctor. 


"It looks like the doctor was mistaken, the proof when I was pregnant with Alfian, I did not really like to eat vegetables. Even I eat more seafood," Zara denied.


The two women continued to debate the gender of their grandchildren, and unknowingly the car Rico was carrying had arrived at a hospital yard, where they had an appointment with an obstetrician there. When the car has been successfully parked and the engine has died, they immediately get out of the car. Rico rushes to help his wife get out of the car. 


"Be careful" exclaimed Rico and replied Alina with a nod of her head and a hint of a sweet smile between her two chili cheeks.


Yes, Alina's cheeks are now starting to look bigger. Not only his cheeks, but some parts of his body also swell. But Rico and Alina did not mind all that while it did not have a bad effect on health and also the content of Alina. 


Now they enter the hospital with Santi and Zara who are on Alina's side. Rico walked with them from behind as if the man was a female bodyguard. Arriving in front of the obgyn room, they are immediately welcome to go inside. No need to queue again because Santi had already done an appointment with the doctor. He did so because he did not want to make him wait a long time to just wait in line. 


It seems unfair because many out there are willing to spend more time just to do an examination that lasts for several minutes. But it can not be blamed also because everything if relying on the power of money then no one can refuse it.


"Good morning, Miss Alina. Long time no see ya," said Doctor Siska when Alina just entered her room. 


"Thank God, Doc" said Alina with a friendly smile. 


"How, have you been having complaints lately with the content?" ask Doctor Siska again.


"Only the legs swell, Doc. It is quite difficult to walk because it is not unusual like this" said alina who made the doctor smile.


"It's okay. Things like this are natural for pregnant women. Later slowly the swelling will decrease if it has given birth. All right, let's just take a peek at the baby well," said the doctor while allowing Alina to lie down on her bed that has been available.


Not wanting to linger, after Doctor Siska checked the condition of Alina's womb, she immediately told Alina and her family about the gender of her child. When the doctor stated that if the gender of the child that is currently being conceived Alina is estimated to be a man, Zara and Santi were immediately staring at the screen showing their future grandchildren with haru sailors. So long wait, finally today comes also the time to know the gender of their grandchildren, who are none other than a man.


"He will be a great man like his mom and dad" Santi exclaimed with a trembling voice holding back the day.


Alina and Rico are no less happy with their parents. They were even very happy when they realized they were going to get a boy. Although men and women make no difference, at least their first child will become a leader in their family later. After her hospital stay was over, Alina and her parents were ready to go home soon.


On the way to the car, Santi and Zara are seen widening their smiles with a view that focuses on USG images showing prospective washing. While Alina who is currently walking with her husband was just smiling happily to see both their parents happy with this pregnancy. 


"Darling, do you want us to name our child later?" rico asked his wife.


Alina looked at Rico.


"I haven't thought, Mom. Maybe we should start thinking about it a month before our child is born."


"Why not from now on?" ask Rico wonder.


"Relatedly, Mas. If we think about it now, when our child is born, then the name will not be special for him."


Rico thought silently about his wife's words. There is also a point if the name of their child is determined now, then it will be normal when their child is born later. Alright, it seems like they have to think about it for a month before their child is born.

Just out of the hospital area, Santi and Zara immediately propose their children and daughter-in-law to go to the mall and look for clothes for prospective babies who will be born about 3 months later. Having known the gender of their grandchildren, the two women are now looking forward to buying everything for the boys. 


Rico was actually very agreeable to the advice of his parents, but he seemed heartless when he let his wife travel in this condition. She was afraid that Alina would be exhausted from walking a lot. 


"Can we buy it later, Ma. Rico was afraid Alina would get exhausted."


"Darling, it's okay. I'm not tired really, if I'm tired later we can rest in the restaurant," said Alina reassured her husband.


In fact, he was easily tired of his current condition. But because she could not refuse the invitation of her happy parents, Alina also tried to agree. Although he knew if he could not walk for too long, but there would be many restaurants that would be a place to rest, as well as enjoy food there. 


"Are you sure, honey?" ask Rico to make sure.


"certain. Let's go to the mall, I also really want to eat ice cream," said Alina later. 


"Darling, aren't you really papa? If you're tired, let us both go. You can stop us in front of us going to take a taxi to the mall," said Zara who gave advice. 


If Alina was tired then she would not have the heart to let her daughter come with them. 


"Alina is okay, Ma. If Alina's tired, Alina promises to tell me and rest."


Because Alina is forcing and continues to make sure if she is okay, then they immediately go to the nearest mall to buy some necessities for Alina's child later.
