Only Substitute Women
It's almost

Carnations were silent for so long hearing the reality just told by Maya.

"You've heard it, and I'm not lying at all. Now it all depends on you. I'm sure, if your mother will also be sad later if one of her daughters, can not be saved when the opportunity is there. There's a mama you'll definitely blame you for having the opportunity to help, but you didn't" Maya tries to carry Mirna around, to stir Carnation's heart. The middle-aged woman was so sure that Anyelir had the same heart as her mother Mirna.

"Tante, I didn't think that it turned out that the suffering my mother endured was so heavy. And you still stick with your selfishness, which only thinks about your own self-interest,"

The words of Carnations immediately made Maya gasp in shock, not expecting that the reaction of Carnations was very cold. At first he hoped that Carnations would cry as eagerly and without thinking long would donate his heart. Even the woman hopes to get a bonus, Anyelir will give Arjuna all of you to Shakila.

"What do you mean?" Maya cringed her forehead.

"Well, Auntie imagine, my mama took me away and raised me on her own with all her limitations. And Shakila herself, she gets complete affection, from you, from the man you call my papa, even the papa family who must have loved her very much. I'm not jealous of all that, am I! because it was his good luck. But what I really didn't expect, how could you ask a big boy without a father to sacrifice? Do you think my mom would be really happy if I donated my heart? or are you actually just afraid of losing the inheritance that fell on Shakila, if Shakila is not healed? sorry again, Auntie, I still can't!" firmly Carnation.

"How could your attitude be any different from your mother's? your mother is so understanding and so generous. To others, if we can help, we will help, this is Shakila, she is your own sister. What's wrong with you donating your heart, after all you can still live because it can grow back," Maya began to look angry.

"Why am I different from my mom? yeah, that's obvious. It's because of what my mom went through, I made it a lesson. I saw my mother's suffering from my childhood, when I wanted to be like that too? and as for the matters of the heart that can grow back, I do not deny that. But I don't want to donate my heart, there's a soul I have to sacrifice." said Carnations, making Maya squint her forehead, confused.

"Whatchu mean? whose soul do you mean?"

"Sorry, Aunt with a heavy heart I have to admit that in the womb I am growing a new soul. My son and Arjuna,"

Maya suddenly raised her eyes, gasping in shock at Anyelir's confession.

"If I wanted to donate my heart, I'm sure the doctor wouldn't want to do it to a pregnant woman either, because after all for liver transplantation and recovery there will be medical action that will be done and it must endanger my fetus" continued Anyelir back.

"You pregnant? so you two've gone too far?" mumbled Maya on the sidelines of her shock.

"Sorry, if I have to justify it. That's why I'm going to keep Mas Juna, because I don't want this kid the same as me who grew up without a father. I'm sorry that I'm impressed with not having empathy, but it hurts so much, Auntie, when friends tell me about each other's fathers, I can only tell you my imaginary dads," said Carnation with eyes that have runny.

"I don't think the doctor would mind if you didn't tell me honestly about your condition. Please just this time. There's no harm in you sacrificing for your own brother. You are very young, you can still get pregnant again later, even if your fetus cannot be saved. After all, your fetus is still not in human form, so it is not wrong for you to sacrifice your fetus for someone who has truly become a human and your own brother. I'm sure Shakila will appreciate your sacrifice later," Maya is still trying to persuade.

Carnations clucked irritably. "You really are a woman with no heart. Although my fetus is not yet human, it is a gift and it is lifeless. Indirectly you've asked me to be a murderer. And what I killed was my own flesh and blood. Shakila could have appreciated my sacrifice, but was it worth the hatred of Arjuna and his family?

"Where did you know Arjuna would hate you? what if he thanks you for saving Shakila? what if Arjuna was more concerned with Shakila's recovery than the child you bear? just so you know, I'm sure that Arjuna still loves Shakila very much. He chose to be with you just for the sake of responsibility,"

Carnations fell silent at once, unable to answer the middle-aged woman's words, because even now, she had never heard Arjuna say that she loved him.

"You're silent, which means my guess is correct. So, in my opinion, it would be better for you to choose not to give birth to the child. Because it's useless, the kid's definitely not an unwanted kid,"

"If Mas Juna doesn't want this child, I want it. And all I know is that my sister-in-law and my in-laws want it too. So, this child will have no lack of affection. Now I just found the answer, why you can't get pregnant," concluded Anyelir as he turned and left Maya.

"I'm sorry, Brother Shakila! I really can't help you this time," the real Carnation's inner being deep in his heart, felt guilty for not being able to help.

Maya, who was furious, immediately caught up with Carnation and was about to pretend to accidentally stumble over a stone and intend to hit the body of Carnation. "I have to do this, this cunning thing for Shakila's sake. Even though he opened my son, but I really love him. I'm sorry Carnation! I didn't intend to do this, but I had to, by force," Just now Maya was about to do her intention, suddenly the middle-aged woman's body, was held back by a large hand.

Maya suddenly looked back and was shocked to see the figure of a man she was very familiar with.

"Ha-haris?"

Yes, that man is Haris. Hearing that Arjuna was going to Singapore, Carnations took part, unbeknownst to Arjuna, the man flew to Singapore. Because she felt uneasy and worried in case her brother changed his mind and left Carnation.

Meanwhile, hearing Haris voice, Anyelir looked back and was shocked to see the presence of his sister-in-law.

"Haris, why are you here?"

"Of course, take a walk. I don't want to be busy working alone" said Haris, still taking the time to joke.

"You, it must be careful, Brother-in-law. Because danger could be lurking everywhere," continued Haris again, while slipping insinuations to Maya.

Carnation scrunched his forehead, trying to digest the meaning of Haris' speech which tumbenenenan call her sister-in-law.

"Ah, there's no need to be confused like that. What is clear is that you must tell the happy news to Brother Juna. Or do you want me to tell you?" Haris rolled her eyes.

"Don't! let me tell you myself!" Carnations swerved sharply towards Haris.

"Yes, I'll be an uncle soon. Let's go!" Haris embraces Carnation's shoulders, as does a friend.

"It turns out, all the Arjuna family has received the presence of Carnations. Jesus, what demon was that whispering in my ear? I almost hurt Carnations. How could I have said such bad things to her?" Maya condemns his evil intentions.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Shakila cried as much as she could, for Arjuna was still on his feet, to remain together with Carnations.

"Why are you this long, Jun? Have you forgotten what you said that would make me happy?"

"I'm not disavowing. It's just you who made me fail to fulfill my words first. You yourself have chosen to leave. Wasn't it before you left you had prepared your heart to lose me? I'm sorry, it's not that I don't have empathy at all, but I don't want to give you hope. But, as I said earlier, I will continue to give you support, as a friend," said Arjuna, at length without pause, making Shakila cry more and more.

"So, what was my guess, if you really loved her? if so, that means I have no hope anymore,"

Arjuna sighed with a single bang, then nodded, asserting.

Seeing the nod of Arjuna's head, making Shakila's breath feel tight, to make Arjuna really panic and immediately press the bell to call the doctor.
