The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend

The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
The Best Husband and Papa Candidate in the World


A nurse covered the legs up to the waistline with a thin blanket to make it easier for Niken's doctor when doing the examination. Then he pulled up the clothes that wrapped Zahira's body to the lower limit of the chest, showing an enlarged stomach.


Shaka gasped for a moment when he saw Zahira's stomach. Unknowingly, the man's hand stretched out then stroked his wife's stomach slowly. "Hello, honey, today for the first time Papa will see your face. So, don't be shy about showing it to us, huh?"


It is said that babies in the womb can change position over time. Sometimes there is a fetus that hides his face by just showing off the back like the back and buttocks. Because of this, Shaka hopes that when Zahira's womb is examined his two prospective children can show their faces.


Doctor Niken sat in a chair next to the patient's gurney, smiling when he heard Shaka say. "Can we start the examination?"


The words made Shaka wake up and pull back his hand that had been in Zahira's stomach. "Can, Doc. Please."


Zahira felt a cold sensation when Niken's doctor began pouring gel on the abdomen, then shifted a device called a transducer. For this examination, Dr. Niken deliberately used the 4D ultrasound examination as requested by the patient, the patient's family, especially the hospital owner. All that is inseparable from the interference of Rayyan, who wants to give everything best for her children and future grandchildren.


The eyes of Zahira and Shaka began to stare at the monitor screen in the room. Shaka's hand was clutching his wife's clasped fingers. Shaka looks happy because for the first time he can see the face of the twins. At Shaka's request, the baby twins show their faces in front of their parents.


"Darling, look, it's our son. They're funny." Shaka could not hold back the tears that had revolted to immediately slide between the two cheeks. The strange sensation he felt when the twins suck their thumbs. Didn't expect that a drop of pleasure she once sprayed onto Zahira's core would grow up to be their adorable-looking child.


Zahira smiled with teary eyes. "Yes, honey." I swear by nothing, there is nothing happier for Zahira in this world than to see the fruit of her love with her husband grow healthy without any flaws.


"The twins are in good condition. Normal heart rate and normal weight, nothing to worry about." Doctor Niken paused for a moment, then turned his gaze from the monitor to the couple in front of him. "For his own gender, they. Men and women. Congratulations to you both."


Lemas is already Shaka's body. Really, do not expect if God returns to give happiness to him. Being told that he would have twins already made the man almost jump for joy because he was unable to withstand the overflow of happiness let alone hear that now the twins are made up of women and men. I don't know what other delights Shaka should lie about.


"Although the mother and baby are in good health, but as a prospective father, Mr. Shaka must remain alert to take care of the three properly. Do not let the mother tired and experience stress because it will have a bad impact on the womb," said Dr. Niken while tidying up the tool.



The examination has been completed, Niken's doctor has sat back in the chair while Zahira is still assisted by Shaka to get off the gurney. Attentively, Shaka helped his wife walk towards the chair. All that is inseparable from the supervision of doctors Niken and nurses who are on guard.


"Be careful, honey!" shaka reminded me. The man put Zahira in the chair. After making sure his wife was sitting comfortably then he landed his butt next to his wife.


"The results of the examination are all normal. However, I will still prescribe vitamins to Doctor Zahira. Then blood-boosting drugs if the potluck Dr. Zahira felt dizzy and twitched." Dr. Niken wrote down a prescription that could be taken at the pharmacy on a white, black-stained piece of paper.


The door of the examination room opened, and soon a couple emerged from the room.


"Alhamdulillah, yes, dear, God loves us twins. I thought even our first child was a boy." Shaka took his wife by the hand, walking along the hospital hallway.


"If our daughter was not happy, then?" ask Zahira. I don't know why he wanted to ask that question from now on. Although Shaka said she would accept their baby despite her gender, she was still curious about what answer her husband gave her.


Aware that Zahira often experiences mood swings makes Shaka more alert. Therefore he must be more selective in choosing answers so as not to cause small fights between them.


Embracing Zahira's shoulder, then carrying the woman's head on her chest that fielded. "Don't talk carelessly, dear! How could I not be happy anyway the baby you bear is my own flesh and blood. Man or woman, it's the same for me."


"The two fetuses in your womb are the trust God has given us. As parents, we should take good care of, care for and educate them. So how could I not be happy for the sustenance that the Lord has given me. Udah, do not think too much, later you even stress! Remember the message of Dr. Niken, can not be tired and stress. Understood?"


After redeeming the prescription at the hospital pharmacy, the couple decided to go home to the apartment. However, while in the middle of the journey Zahira craved something that made Shaka forced to turn the direction.


"You're not angry, are you, like me, for asking for an anther in the school cafeteria?" asked Zahira hesitantly. The two palms squeezed into each other. It was obvious how scared Zahira was then. Afraid that Shaka might secretly get angry and leave her with both fetuses still in the womb.


Shaka glanced at the rearview mirror next to the wheel, intending to overtake the vehicle in front of him. After his car managed to overtake two vehicles then Shaka replied, "Why should be angry, hem? In my opinion, your request just now is still within reasonable limits. Just asking me to drive me to the school cafeteria, buying a batagor wasn't a hard job. So why should I be angry just because of a trivial request."


Zahira bowed her face, twisting the end of the dress in guilt. He did not dare to look at Shaka because he felt guilty for asking the husband to turn towards their school.


Shaka stopped their vehicle on the shoulder of the road, then changed their sitting position until it was facing Zahira. The man's right hand touched the tip of his wife's chin. "Honey, I don't mind if I have to take you to school just to buy Mang Sarimin. I am happy because I can fulfill your cravings. That means you are so dependent on me and I feel if I really need you. So, please, never feel guilty if you ask me to buy something or take you somewhere. I sincerely do it as long as you and our future child are happy."


Zahira's body prays on hearing Shaka's words. Every word that was spoken sounded so sincere and it made Zahira soar into space.


Without many words, Zahira immediately placed her head on the chest of Shaka's field. "Thank you, honey, you are indeed the best husband and future Papa in the world."
