The Struggle of Women
Episode 6

A rough gust of breath came out from Jenny without feeling the need for her to hold on, the woman took a breath before confirming the question once more. “Iya, Liam. And congratulations to you.”

Afterwards, Jenny heard Liam say a few words of thanks to her. They agreed to end the call. As soon as the connection was cut off, Liam who was in his room looked like a dazed person, reopening his lunch box while muttering many times.

I'll be a father soon. I can be a father without being associated with any woman.

I don't know on what basis Liam keeps repeating his words with an expressionless face. Making the man difficult to understand, the sentence that comes out of his lips is happy or just the opposite.

As well as what happened in Jenny's office, there wasn't much visible expression on her face. With Elma's examination report paper in hand, the woman was silent for a long time, exhaling before muttering softly. “Hopefully this is indeed the best for all of us.”

Meanwhile, Elma only had one request when she was told that she was already positively pregnant, “Don't let Mom know this problem,” pinta the girl with a pleading gaze. Elma knew that sooner or later her pregnancy would be known to her, but the girl insisted on hiding it as long as she could. Elma wanted her mother to focus only on her recovery.

And inevitably Jenny certainly felt the need to agree, because in addition to being a doctor who must maintain privacy as the patient wishes, Jenny also put herself as a figure who also loves Aunt Arini. Jenny obviously wants Aunt Arini to go through the healing period without much burden of mind, although of course the burden will not be completely gone especially when she knows that she can undergo the transplant process.

“U-money from where, son? How much do you get money from?” arini asked with a pale face when she finally found out that her transplant schedule had been set.

“Mom don't have to worry about that problem, Elma has taken care of everything and not in a nasty way. There are people who are willing to help Elma and Elma promise to replace her money in other ways.”

Arini shook her head, remaining dissatisfied with her daughter's answer. “No, Honey, tell Mom who it is? What do you have to do with him? Don't make Mom anxious—”

“Elma will tell you later, later after you have the transplant. You just have to trust me. Really, I didn't do anything that harmed others, or harmed myself. All just because this guy was kind to us, Mom .. because of that.”

An unacceptable argument, according to Arini. That much money in this age is definitely not something that can be given without anything in return. Arini believes Elma must have done something, even though the girl said it wasn't something to worry about.

“Bu, Elma please. Elma just wants you to focus on the transplant and the cure. For now, Elma asks please do just that and don't think of anything else.”

Arini's head still shook his head, that sentence was definitely not something that could calm his heart. But Elma's grip on her hand and the girl's gaze that showed a plea, even to the point that her eyes were glazed over, made Arini reluctantly stop any urgent questions she wanted to address her daughter.

Arini pulls Elma into a hug, crying and apologizing because she has made the girl do and work on things that are not normal for girls her age.

In a different place, Liam is seen pacing indeterminate in his own room. Ever since Jenny told me that the surrogate mother carrying her child was pregnant, the man has been looking for a lot of information about what happens during pregnancy and what pregnant women should do to overcome the problems that come their way.

While reading it Liam was made worried, there are some articles that say that one of the important things that pregnant women need is strong moral support from their partners so that they can get through difficult times during pitting. And Liam knows full well that he can't give that to the mother of his son. They are not a couple, nor do they bear the title of husband and wife, all he can do is monitor from afar by continuing to give the woman what she needs. All the best things that Liam could give apart from being on that woman's side.

“About what are his current activities?”

“Hah?” Brian who was in the room was made to frown did not understand. Because, Liam did not say anything since his arrival five minutes ago, the man only received orders Liam who asked him to come to the office. Without explaining in more detail what he needed.

“At least you should explain a little what you called me for this time. Don't suddenly ask something that's only in your head, you think I can read people's minds?” brian's protest didn't want to look any more stupid. Not after five minutes and he was just silent when Liam downstream –mudik like ironing.

“That, the mother of my son... What is his current activity?”

Liam snorted in annoyance at the reaction Brian gave, “You are this stupid or what the hell? I asked my son's mother what he was doing? I want to make sure she's not exhausted and endanger her content, you know?!”

Brian's eyeballs were spinning lazily. “You think I'm the bodyguard? I'm your family's lawyer, not the bailiff who was assigned to follow the girl to know what she was doing. Your brain hit where the hell until something like this just need me to explain?”

“You fool, you son of a bitch! You're the only outsider who knows this. So I'm asking you to find out what the girl's doing and make sure she's okay. The fewer people who know the better, that's why I'm asking you to find out and watch him from now on. Time just doesn't understand? Your brain is already on sale at the flea market?”

This motherfucker is a bitch.

“If that's your reason, at least let me know. Do not suddenly ask things that I do not understand, there are indeed people who work without a briefing first? Moreover, it is not my duty.” This time it was Brian who snorted right as Liam looked sharply at him.

The man in front of him didn't seem to dodge Brian's sentence just now. It seems he also realized that he had not instructed Brian anything, let alone instructions, conveying his meaning only a few seconds ago.

“But now you know, so quickly do,” said the man in a voice that was not as loud as before.

“You know it's not free, right?”

Liam who was already walking back to his desk turned around and looked at Brian's face “Basic eyes twitching! I pay five times your salary for this, satisfied?”

Brian smiled amiably, a formality he used to do in front of his co-workers or business associates. “That's my new best friend.”

“Omong empty,” sneaker Liam.

“So what should I do Mr. Tanubrata?” Brian and his nasty phomaly, but stupid, Liam got what he needed.

“As I said earlier, find out his activities and report to me. And keep an eye on him from far or near, give him what he needs and fulfill whatever he wants. I don't want my son to be so drooling because his mother's wishes were not fulfilled during pregnancy.”

“Berliur?” brian's forehead was made wrinkled.

Liam nodded. “From the article I read, the desire of pregnant women must be obeyed, otherwise the child born will continue to wander.”

Hearing Liam's explanation of course made Brian automatically widened. “A Liam? Who is above average with all his brilliant achievements, both in academia and business, actually believe in such a myth? Hahaha!”

“Whispering! Fulfill it what I say can not anyway?”

In an instant Brian's laughter subsided, sneering faintly at Liam who was still staring at him sharply. “Aye-aye, Mr. Liam.” After that Brian decided to leave, without waiting for the approval of his big boss. Sooner or later he will also be expelled from there, so what's wrong with taking the initiative to go alone?

Ah, the work will be very troublesome from this point on, Brian thought.
