The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 81 - Recovering Yourself

Tiara looked fresher this time, after much effort, Alfa finally managed to persuade the woman to rise from her chaotic condition after seeing the results of her pregnancy tests through a test pack. The man painstakingly helped his wife to bathe and get dressed. It also patiently helps dry hair as well as wash off with its favorite model, the ponytail. Uninspired and very tasteful, the woman simply complied like a doll, not arguing over anything her husband did to her.

Until now, the two were sitting on the edge of the bed with Tiara leaning her head against the man's chest. While Alfa put one of her hands on his wife's arm, stroking it with a light gesture, as much as possible channeling a sense of comfort. They're waiting.

Alfa said that this morning two people will come to check on Tiara's health. The woman refused to do any tests or anything related to her pregnancy. Alfa could already guess that, so with all the means and help from Jeni, the man finally managed to see an obstetrician who could serve the examination at his home, which was the only one in his life, by explaining in advance the condition of the Tiara in such a way.

In addition, Alfa has also consulted with the best psychiatrist in the city, so that later, in the examination that must be undertaken by Tiara, the woman will be accompanied by one psychiatrist, so that later, so he hopes, the two things he planned it will work seamlessly together. His wife wants to be examined with the right psychological assistance.

Tiara hasn't talked much since she took a shower. His face looked tired. No small piece of rice or a sip of water would want to swallow. Alfa had run out of ways to persuade him again, the woman simply said, later. If so, as usual, the man ordered the kitchen waiter to make porridge, soup, toast and warm chocolate milk for breakfast when Tiara would sit on the dining table chair.

The sound of knocking on the door made the two turn their heads. The man let go of his embrace, peeked at Tiara's forehead at a glance and walked across the room to open the door. Two middle-aged women dressed in casual clothes with tops wearing knee-length blouses and skirts appeared. One bespectacled woman who Alfa had known named Prita was carrying a large black bag that did not need to be asked anymore, he must have brought checking equipment. The second doctor to hold a shoulder bag on his right shoulder was Vienna, the psychiatrist who will accompany Tiara during the examination process. The two smiled warmly and without waiting any longer, Alfa invited the guest to enter the room.

Tiara was fixated for a moment on the arrival of the two women who were walking towards her. His forehead frowned slightly at the appearance of the two people who were walking up to him. Is this the doctor Alfa talked about a while ago? They looked the same age as Tiara, and really with such an appearance, the tense atmosphere that had dragged the woman in nervousness melted away already. The woman looks more relaxed and wants to directly interact with both of them.

Tiara had prepared herself before, imagining she would be approached by paramedics in white uniforms with a appearance not much different from the doctors she had met before. How he looked like a child who was afraid of being examined by a doctor. Ah, Tiara ignored it all, because indeed, many times he met with doctors and nurses some time ago made it seem as if he was convicted by the statement that the health status of his uterus was dying. And that made him sad again.

A few minutes passed, Prita, the obstetrician who was preparing the equipment to examine it, asked Tiara to lie down. While Vienna, the psychiatrist who introduced himself as a fellow doctor Prita began to carry out his role. The woman invited Tiara to a casual conversation. Starting the conversation with successful jokes made Alfa's wife smile and laugh.

“What is it?” Tiara looked at a device that was being placed on the table, as soon as Prita finished checking the blood pressure.

Tiara frowned and folded her lips. Doubtful to say that really this time he did not want to see the picture of the USG. Doctor Prita understood very well with the facial expression that Tiara was showing, so he then said, “You do not need to see if it is not pleasing. I just need to make sure that you and your content are OK,”.

Tiara finally smiled and nodded her head, then invited the doctor to start checking and writing to the notebook about the reports she could get from the results of the examination that morning. Prita applied a small amount of cold liquid to Tiara's exposed stomach and began operating the transducer and looking carefully at the results through the phone's interface. Not to forget he recorded all the results of the examination and saved it into a file. It only takes a few minutes until the doctor has completed the task.

“Already Mom,” said the doctor while cleaning the gel that is still attached to the stomach of his patient with a tissue. “Everything is good, nothing to worry about,”.

The woman again frowned, between believing and not believing what the doctor said. Is that real? Has this doctor examined him correctly? How could he hope that speech was not just a consolation for him.

“Can I have alone time with Mother Tiara?” the Viennese doctor said later to Alfa who had just been silent next to his wife.

Alfa concluded a smile. “Of course,” he answered and then rubbed his wife's arm for a moment, saying goodbye to leave her alone with the doctor. Prita who has completed the task also stepped foot out of the room room. Preceded Alfa who still spoke briefly with his wife.

Alfa closed the door slowly. Let Vienna do its job. Apparently, Alfa did not choose a psychiatrist wrong. The woman was able to instantly hypnotize his wife with her soothing remarks.

The sound of incoming messages on the phone that he held onto the pants pocket for a moment distracts him. Alfa smiled with satisfaction when she got the health report and also portrait of the USG image to her phone. Not to forget, Prita also sent vitamin prescriptions and various drugs to support the health of prospective mothers and their babies. He was overjoyed to be able to continue monitoring Tiara's health, knowing that it was as if God had confirmed his words this morning which was honestly filled with doubt. His wife and son-in-law are fine.

The man covered his folded lips with his clenched fingers, his eyes glazed over, looking over and over again at the ultrasound print sent by the doctor. It was completely unexpected, as if God wanted the two of them to quickly welcome the happiness that God sent with haste. The happiness that came unexamined, accompanied Tiara who was limping recuperating.
