The Sweetest Harsh
Episode-6 Sad Surprise

Tiara started to open her eyes. Consciousness had not yet returned completely, yet he tried his hardest to immediately awaken his mind to the conscious. Both hands he moved and his head turned little by little. There was a large hand holding his hand at this moment. His forehead creased back before his eyes opened completely.

“Tiara .…” That big hand then stroked his forehead slowly.

He directed both eyes towards the distinctive sound beside him. “Alfa ... What's wrong? You need anything?” Tiara asked her a strange question as if she was being forced to wake up in the morning by her husband.

Alfa cursed in her heart because her worries were answered with a silly question Tiara who even casually woke up from her deep sleep as if nothing had happened.

“I need you healthy, baby.”

Tiara turned her gaze to Alpha's eyes and only then did she realize that they were not home.

His gaze turned to the table chair in the corner of the room, then toward the white blanket that covered his body and the small bed that was now becoming his contest.

As he remembered, he had asked Alfa to drive him back home, because the queue was so long and he felt a great pain in his head.

But, it turns out they are still in .. Maternity House yesterday?

The question just popped into his mind. He did not remember very well how he was yesterday until now can lie in this room. Trying to convince herself and her husband of anxiety, Tiara smiled cheerfully.

“I'm fine. You see? I've been better than yesterday.” Staring at Alfa warmly though the one being stared at only showed an unreadable flat face.

Alfa then advanced her body by resting on her hands, looking at Tiara more closely.

“Truely so? Not dizzy anymore? But your face is .. ah, do you feel nauseous?” Alfa stared fixedly at his wife with a pushy look.

But the woman actually moves her body with gymnastic movements. Pulling out a hand, shaking his head, taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.

Alfa was comforted by Tiara's behavior, and then showed a sweet smile on her lips.

Who exactly is sick here hey ....

Alfa was amused by the circumstances surrounding them at the moment.

Alfa is saddened by his wife but Tiara tries to convince her of his usual behavior. The woman who judges in front of him has indeed turned friendly to him, but his stubbornness has not disappeared. Tiara is tough. He knows it. But he actually saw Tiara who was so forced to pretend, even though he had just woken up from his stupor and his face had still not turned into the hue of his original face.

“Have ... already .…” Alfa finally managed to stop the movement of gymnastics forced Tiara on the bed.

“You hungry? Wouldn't you be nauseous if you ate?” Still with the same worry.

“Ya .. I'm hungry.” Tiara hugged her stomach with both hands while grimacing.

“Good. I'll buy food first. Stay right here. Don't go anywhere. No more gymnastics like that let alone to run around the hospital.” Alfa said firmly but did not forget to be tucked in with the usual joke words that made Tiara chuckle.

“Ready!” Tiara showed a respectful attitude with official respectful gestures such as being respectful at the flag ceremony.

Alfa smiled then walked out of the room and closed the door.

******

The door of the room opened again. Tiara who was playing with her phone got ready to give her best smile then sat on her bed welcoming the man she was waiting for. However, his lips that were about to comment on the smile faded instantly.

“Mama ...."

Helmia sat down in the chair where Alfa was sitting.

Helmia smiled stiffly then scanned Tiara's face for a moment. “How are you doing?”

“It's good.” Tiara spoke briefly because she was too nervous to meet her mother without any preparation.

Helmia simply nodded thinly and turned her eyes.

“Mama know I'm here? Alpha who told?”

Fainted? Ah yes right, he yesterday felt a great dizziness and did not remember anything else, then treated in this room.

Tiara tried hard to remember.

“Where is Alfa?”

“He is buying food outside. May be coming soon.”

“Mama brought you fruits.” Helmia put a small white plastic from her hand onto the nightstand. “Eat. Let your body recover quickly.”

Tiara nodded and smiled.

******

Doctor Jeni poked a brown envelope onto the table and pushed it closer to the Alpha range.

“Tiara blood test results.”

The woman said with a grim expression. Alfa looked at Doctor Jeni questioningly. A bad feeling crossed his mind before he grabbed the brown envelope, opened it, and read slowly. Doctor Jeni waited patiently while opening the papers that had been on her desk.

“Anemia?” Alfa looked straight at the doctor and asked. “She fainted from anemia?” The impact with more complete questions.

“Yes. He has iron deficiency anemia. His hemoglobin is very low. But that's not what seems to be the main cause.” Doctor Jeni sighed for a moment before continuing. “I'm more pointing to the content of Clomiphene Citrate in his body. So it seems right, Tiara has taken the drug.”

“Medicine?”

“That's one of the fertility drugs. There are so many. But it seems Tiara's body does not accept the presence of the substance in his body, so the side effects are very pronounced. Dizziness, nausea, flatulence ... like that, plus it turns out there is Anemia that attacks it.” He looked at Alfa. Look at the man's reaction.

Alfa seemed to be struggling with her own thoughts.

“What was it yesterday that he fainted?” ask the doctor.

“Have been several times.” Alfa answered quickly. “But the time is not close. Only when fatigue is very very.” Recalling about the incident where Tiara fainted while they were not married.

“There will be a follow-up check later considering you want to immediately have a baby, right?” Ask again with a smile.

Alfa was slightly stunned to hear the question with a red hue that appeared on her cheek.

“What is no problem ... I mean .. can Tiara get pregnant normally if her condition is like that?”

Doctor Jeni exhaled her long breath, like she was putting together the right word to say. Staring at the table, but drifting into his own mind.

“You know? lack of iron in the body of anemic patients can cause a woman can not ovulate and block the chance to get pregnant up to 60 percent.”

Alfa raised next to her eyebrows.

“Tiara has prepregnancy anemia. Unlike again with anemia experienced when pregnant. Like I said, there'll still be a follow-up. Don't worry too much first. Most importantly, Tiara should consume a lot of nutritious foods that contain a lot of iron. I will also later provide supplements and vitamins to keep his body healthy.”

Alpha nodded his head. Fretting at the shocking news he had just received.

“And one more Gheo, to consume fertility drugs, must go through the examination first. So it's better, no more drinking so as not to prolong the problem," he said.

“Iya. I'll tell Tiara later. Thank you very much.” Alfa immediately stood up from her seat, bid farewell and walked out of the room.

His mind was filled with the shadow of Tiara's pale face. A flash of his mother's expression and all the possibilities he had to live tomorrow.

Heavily, he walked to the room where Tiara was being treated, carrying a brown envelope and a paper bag containing the food he had bought for Tiara before he met Dr. Jeni.

The man exhaled his long breaths many times to calm his troubled mind.
