The Lord's Concubine
Operation Day

A very exciting day for Vania has arrived. That day he had surgery to remove the uterus. Although basically Vania still did not sincerely accept the harsh reality.

Patiently, the King waited outside the operating room. And not long after, the Doctor in charge of handling Vania's surgery today, came out of the room with a warm smile.

The king hurried up from his seat and approached the Doctor.

"How's the operation, Doc?" asked the King with a worried face.

"The operation went well, sir."

"Oh, thank goodness!" The king rubbed his face with both hands while giving thanks. He was so happy because Vania's operation went well.

If the King is so happy because the wife is free from her disease, different from Vania. His face looked gloomy and uninspired.

"Vania, why are you so moody? You should be happy because finally your disease has been lifted and soon you will live a normal life as before" said the King who is now sitting next to Vania's bed.

"Yes, Lord .. how happy I would have been if what the King had said was true that I would have returned to a normal life after this. But, unfortunately not. My life will never be normal. I will remain a woman of deprivation, a woman of barrenness and childlessness to my husband, "inward Vania.

"Vania, what's wrong with you?" ask the King, because Vania is still a thousand languages with her gaze blankly glared. The king grabbed Vania's hand then stroked the arm gently.

"King, are you planning on having children any time soon?" Vania looked at the King with a sad look.

The man threw his best smile at Vania while stroking her still-pale face.

"Of course not, Vania. Right now, your health is more important than anything. After all, we can still plan it anytime, next year, next year again, or next year again" said the King with a smile.

Vania took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. "King, what if I can't get pregnant again? Are you going to divorce me?" lirih Vania's.

The king chuckled softly. "You're funny, dear Vania. Actually you are fine, even the Doctor did not say anything about your illness, why do you even think that far?"

"Jawab my question, King? Would you divorce me if I turned out to be barren and couldn't give you offspring?"

"Hush! Never mind, I don't want to hear those words anymore."

The king grabbed Vania's body into his arms then kissed the top of the woman's head many times.

"Trust me, Vania. You will be fine and after you completely recover, we just plan a baby problem. How much do you want? two, three? If I want five or six, let our house be more crowded" said the King with a big smile.

Vania's heart felt pierced with thousands of knives. It hurt, but it didn't bleed.

Physically, Vania's condition has started to improve. However, spicically the woman is still not completely back to how she was. He was more quiet than before he had the surgery to remove the uterus.

That day Tania came to visit, she met Vania who was still happy to lock herself in her luxurious room.

"Vania, how are you?"

Tania pulled out Vania's makeup chair and placed it next to the woman's bed.

"You see for yourself how I am doing, Tania! I'm the saddest woman in the world" she said, covering her face with both hands.

"Why are you talking like that, Vania! Ish, it's not good to know!" annoyed Tania while pulling Vania's hand.

"It's easy when you say it, Tania. But, when you're in my position right now, you'll definitely know what it's like to be a woman who lacks like me" Vania said, shedding tears.

"Babar, Vania. And what about the king? I'm sure he can accept your shortcomings. Because the King is a good man, who loves you so sincerely. Right?"

Vania smiled wryly. "He doesn't know the truth yet, Tania. I still haven't told him about it" said Va.

"What?!" pekik Tania. "why don't you tell me the truth, Van? I think the sooner you tell me the truth, the better it'll be for you."

"Yes, you're right! It'll be better if the King doesn't divorce me, Tania." Vania looks upset.

Tania was speechless as she continued to pay attention to Vania's still tangled face.

"Oh yes, Vania. I saw a girl in front of me cleaning in the main room. New waitress, huh? He wasn't wearing the same uniform as the others."

Vania was silent while thinking. "Oh, that. That's Farra, maybe. His young wife the King" said Vania with a flat expression.

"What, the young wife of the King?! Are you crazy?!" squealed Tania with enlarged eyes.

Vania smiled faintly. "Here you go, don't mind the girl! After all he is not the King's taste and he will not dare to riot in my household" said Vania without burden.

"How can you be so sure that the King will not be tempted. That girl is beautiful and have you forgotten how you are doing right now? Sorry, I didn't scare you. But, just a reminder because I'm your best friend, Vania."

Vania fell silent and began to think about what her best friend was saying.
