THE TRAP OF LOVE

"Mom, it hurts .. it hurts so much," Elisha cried out as he cried out occasionally.
"What do you feel, baby?" ask Mom Marcella.
"Cold, Mom. I ... I .. oekk .. oekkk."
"Lisa! Why are you vomiting here. Ahhh, look Mommy's clothes are smelly and disgusting!"
"Mom, help me, sick ...," Elisha again.
Mom Marcella immediately called one of the police officers, then she immediately passed from there. He couldn't stand the smell of his clothes. Actually, he wanted to visit Peter too, but under such circumstances, he also abandoned his intentions.
"These two kids are really troublesome. Instead of helping me to smooth my way, it's getting more and more troublesome for me" Mom Marcella grumbled.
Just as he entered the house, his cell phone rang.
"Hello."
" ... "
"What?!"
Mom Marcella who initially wanted to change her clothes, now turned back to the hospital mentioned by the caller.
He went straight to the emergency room. There were two police officers standing guard in front of the room.
"Excuse me, I'm Marcella, Mommy from Elisa" Mom Marcella told one of the officers.
"Wait a minute. The doctor is doing an examination."
Mom Marcella stood restlessly in front of the room squeezing her hands together. The smell that was quite stinging due to clothes that were hit by vomit now began to bother him. Finally while waiting, he went to the toilet to clean the vomit, as well as to relieve his anxiety a little.
After 15 minutes, he returned to the emergency room, there were two officers standing in front, talking to a doctor. Mom Marcella approached them.
"Excuse me," said Mom Marcella.
"Sorry Madam, the doctor will explain to you about your daughter's health" one of the officers said.
"What's really going on?" ask Mom Marcella.
"Sorry Madam, your daughter has HIV. Now that it's in its final stages, I don't know how much longer it will last" the doctor explained in great detail, Mom Marcella could only listen with mixed feelings.

Gavin came home with a smile on his face. He has a wife who will always wait for him at home. Have funny kids. Every time I went home to laugh with them, all of Gavin's fatigue was gone.
He sees Anna playing with the twins, along with Mom Clara as well.
"Hello Daddy's son!" greet Gavin while kneeling parallel to the height of his two sons.
Nathan and Nixon ran up to Gavin, then kissed him on both cheeks. One on the right and one on the left.
"Why did you get out of bed, baby?" ask Anna Gavin.
"I'm tired all day in bed. I don't feel too sick anyway. Do you want to eat first or take a shower first?"
"I take a shower first" said Gavin.
"I'll prepare some warm water first."
"No need, baby. You're here to accompany Mommy and the kids. I won't be long."
Mom Clara who was there also noticed the difference from Gavin's facial radiance. Gavin now looks different than he did when he married Elisha. He is easier to express himself at the moment and he is happier.
"Thank you, baby," Mom Clara held Anna's hand after Gavin passed.
"For what, Mom?" ask Anna.
"You have given Gavin happiness, to all of us. Thank you." Thank you."
"Mom, it's me who should be thanking you for accepting me. I'm a nobody. I feel unworthy to be with the Neutron family" Anna said, looking down.
"We never saw where you came from. All we know is that you bring happiness to our children. We saw such great love in Gavin's eyes for you. You are also a friend to our daughter Gia."
Nathan and Nixon approach Mom Clara, then kiss Mom Clara on both cheeks.
"Grandma's favorite granddaughter, muah ... muah ..," Mom Clara kissed both of her grandchildren's cheeks and made them laugh.
