The Ugly Wife's
Change the Plan

Zenith sat restlessly in the waiting room, as she was taken away by Ratih to see the doctor as the woman promised. Ratih who was sitting next to him, could clearly see that the girl was worrying about something.

"What's up, Zenith? Why do you look so agitated, is there something you're afraid of going to the doctor?" ask Ratih, investigate.

"T_no, mommy. Only, Zenith was a little afraid to come to the hospital"

"Well, why are you so scared, baby? Don't tell me you're afraid of being injected?"

"It's not so mommy. Zenith had only experienced unpleasant events in the hospital" Zenith reasoned, while putting on a sad face.

"Geez, why don't you tell mommy, Zenith? Mommy also wants you to feel calm, but checking your fertility is also very important. Please hold on a second, baby"

"Ah, i_iya mommy" replied Zenith resignedly.

Both of them also returned to quietly wait while doing their respective activities. Until it was time for Zenith's name to be called to enter the doctor's room, only the two immediately rose.

After passing a few simple oral tests, Zenith also performed several tests that required lab results to properly find out whether or not she was fertile.

"Alright, all the tests that Zenith's mother had to undergo, are done. For the result, it will come out in 2-3 hours. Will Ratih's mom wait that long here, or will I just deliver directly to mom's house?" ask the female doctor, who seems to be well acquainted with Ratih.

"Actually I and my future daughter-in-law really want to wait for the results directly doc, but I also already have important appointments elsewhere. If the doctor doesn't mind, I'd be very grateful for the doctor's kindness to deliver the results to my home"

"It is with great pleasure that I will do for Ratih's mother. Moreover, you are one of the important donors in our hospital" replied the doctor, smiling kindly.

"Thank you doc"

Zenith who saw an opportunity to be able to take the test results before Ratih, did not miss to rotate the brain. For some reason, the girl did not want Ratih to see the results of the tests done by her.

"Don't mommy. Later if the doctor who delivered it, the doctor must be tired of working all day, must deliver the test results again. What if Zenith is waiting here, until the results come out? Incidentally, Zenith had no other appointments after from the hospital"

"May it be that Zenith's mother wants it that way. Later I will explain directly to Zenith's mother about the results, and later Zenith's mother can pass it on to Ratih's mother"

"No, I disagree. Anyway, the doctor had to show me the test results the first time and explain it straight away"

"But mommy, Zenith doesn't mind waiting here for hours"

"No dear. You said, if you had a bad experience in the hospital, how could mommy leave you alone waiting here"

Hearing Ratih's words, Zenith cursed herself for giving such an excuse. By forced, he could only obey the wishes of Ratih to go straight home.

Several hours passed, and now Ratih was at home with the doctor who brought the results of the Zenith test. But the doctor's face did not look as happy as the last time they met.

"What's the matter doc, why is a doctor's face like that? Is there something wrong with my daughter-in-law's test results?" tanya Ratih looks curious.

" I'm sorry, Mrs Ratih, because it looks like the test results are not in line with what my mother expected"

"What happened to the test results? What would my son-in-law be, less fertile and less healthy to be able to have offspring?"

"You can say it like that, ma'am" the doctor replied, looking hesitant.

"No problem, doc. I don't expect the test results to be perfect either, but as long as my daughter-in-law can have children, then everything is fine for me"

"Sorry mom, but it's worse than I thought. Ms Ratih's daughter-in-law, can't have children until anytime"

"A_what_what do doctors mean, my son-in-law is barren, is that it?" tanya Ratih did not seem to believe the news he had just heard.

"Truly ma'am"

Instantly Ratih was struck by lightning, the woman's body trembled violently. He cursed himself inwardly because he usually planned to marry William's son to a barren girl.

If William were to be married to Zenith, it would mean that Ratih would never be able to obtain a descendant. Once enough, Ratih understood the desire of his son-in-law to delay having children, but for William's case, Ratih was eager for his son to give offspring immediately.

"No way, I can't let Zenith marry William! Now, the only hope I have is Asyifa. I've got to get Ashifa and William to cancel the divorce"

*****

"WHAT? Zenith's barren?" kana asked in surprise, after getting the news from Ratih.

"Yes!"

"But how could that have happened, and why didn't he tell us mom? Or maybe the test was wrong!"

"There's nothing wrong, Kana! Mommy herself escorted him and accompanied him to do all the tests from start to finish. It's true that he's barren!" obviously Ratih was upset.

"Alright, Kana believes mommy's saying that Zenith is completely barren. Then, is mommy going to cancel our plan to make Zenith William's wife?"

"of course! Mommy wouldn't want to have a barren daughter-in-law, that's just as useless!"

Kana seems to dislike the words of Ratih, but she also can not argue what her mother-in-law wishes. Moreover, now only Ratih can Kana hope to be able to persuade Haykal to cancel his intention to divorce Kana.

"But mommy, would mommy prefer if William so married Aliya who status is still the wife of others? Or, mommy prefers Asyifa who is an ugly girl and has had a miscarriage?" kana asked, with a contemptuous tone made as natural as possible.

"At least the two women have been successful and have been pregnant, right? In that case, they were both more useful compared to Zenith!"

"Gosh, mommy! How can mommy think of such crazy intentions, mommy must remember we are a reformed family and they are just lowly women! There is no woman more worthy than Zenith to be William's wife!" kana was angry.

Ratih who heard his son-in-law's words, became silent and seemed to be thinking. But again, the desire to have grandchildren is more important for Ratih than the perfection of his family.

"Mommy does love Cana's perfection, but if you insist on making Zenith William's wife, you must be ready to make sacrifices"

"I mean mommy?"

"If Zenith couldn't get pregnant, wouldn't there still be you who could make that happen for this family?" clearly Ratih smiled triumphantly.

"I? Can't, mommy! Cana cannot get pregnant, at least for now until the next two years. Mommy will also know about the model contract with a famous brand that Kana has signed, Kana will immediately lose the contract if Kana becomes pregnant with mommy" protested Kana firmly.

"It's not mommy's business, because mommy wants to be a grandson to be a successor in this family. If you don't want to be a target and want to be helped by mommy, then you also have to help mommy!"

"Where to help, mommy?" kana asked looking alert.

Kana looked at Ratih's face with a look of disbelief, how could the woman prefer Asyifa compared to Zenith and also Aliya.

If Kana becomes Ratih, she would definitely prefer Aliya. Because even though Aliya was an orphan and was still the wife of another man, but Aliya was much more proud than the ugly-faced Asyifa.

"Why isn't Aliya the only one we made a wife for William, mom?"

"Where, mommy does not want to be bothered because she has to separate Aliya from her husband and child. Better mommy choose Asyifa whose status is still William's wife, because it's much easier!"

"Just mommy. But Kana will tell you, getting rid of Zenith won't be easy"

"Without you telling me, mommy knows that too baby. For the Zenith problem, let mommy himself who will overcome it. You take care of Aliya and Asyifa"

"What do you think Mommy has plans for Zenith?" ask Kana curiously.

"You don't need to know, just do what mommy told you to do!" ratih's orders while passing from before Cana.

Seeing the behavior of Ratih, made the woman become upset. It was like Kana was pulling her mother-in-law's hair, and refusing all orders from her.

From a long time ago, it was always only Ratih who could give orders at will to Kana. In fact, Kana is a woman who cannot be enslaved just like that, even by her parents and also by Haykal.

"I shouldn't have stopped his mental treatment. Now look, how powerful the old grandmother is, you bitch!" kana grunts in the heart.

*****

In a cafe located not far from the company Zidan, it appears Asyifa who was sitting alone while enjoying a glass of drinks without expression.

Today was the first day the woman started working again. But all day, compared to work, Ashifa looks more dreamy and unfocused.

Zidan who realized the condition of the woman he loved was not going to improve, finally chose to invite Asyifa to go to the cafe at break time, in order to talk to her alone.

"Sorry long. I had to queue first, because this is the most preferred food in this cafe" said Zidan open the conversation, while putting a mini-sized cake with an attractive appearance in front of Asyifa.

"It's okay, sir" replied Asyifa briefly, without seeing Zidan's face.

"Is your drink good? But what drink did you order? I'm being curious"

"Espresso sir"

"Espresso? Not that you prefer sweet, well, why even a bitter message? Or did you get the wrong message, want me to re-order it?"

"No need sir. I was deliberately a bitter message, because again want to drink only sir. But if you may know, what is it about Mr. Zidan taking me to this cafe?" asked Asyifa, looking like she didn't want to mince words anymore.

"That's, I just want to talk to you. There's nothing special"

"Speaking about what, and father as who?"

"Talk about you, Asyifa. And if I may, I'd like to speak as a friend, would I?"

"Just give Zidan a hand!"

"Thank you, Ashifa"

After Zidan thanked each other, the two kept quiet and no longer spoke anything. Zidan didn't seem to know where to start. Asyifa, however, looked too lazy to take the initiative.

Clumsy, Zidan began to busy himself drinking or eating the food in front of him. Sometimes he looks busy wiping the surface of the table with a piece of tissue.

"Will you continue to act so vaguely? If there is nothing you will talk about, I will go back first to the company" said Asyifa who looks bored.

"Don't Ashifa! Ba_alright, I'll start talking. But please sit down first"

Still with a flat gaze but a little annoyed, Ashifa then followed Zidan's orders. He then looked at his boss's face with a serious look and did not blink an inch.

"Just tell me what you want to say to me"

"When, when are you going to file a divorce hearing between you and William? If my question is delayed, you may choose not to answer it. Sorry"

"Fastly. Maybe tomorrow or the day after, I'll file it. I'm gonna file a fucking trial after I visit my son's place"

"Ah, so" replied Zidan stiffly.

"Why indeed? Does Mr. Zidan want to help this widow-to-be, in dealing with her divorce and the problem of her dead child?"

"Of course, I want to! As long as you ask, I will definitely give my best. Even if you want, I can get her husband and his mistress to get the punishment she deserves from the state"

"Really, can I do it? Sounds pretty fun too, was my own time being tortured? That's not fair!"

Although the Asyifa in front of Zidan seemed increasingly strange and uncontrollable, Zidan did not want to back down to give his help to the Woman.

"I can help you find a good lawyer. I'm sure without repeated hearings, you can see the two of them taking their sentences straight away"

"I was just kidding when I said I wanted to do it. I can't dare to repay the crimes of others to me, sir" Asyifa said as she forced a smile.

"So, this time too you'll let the person who hurt you go away just like that? This time, what's the reason?"

"Maybe because I once felt a life imposed by others, it felt uncomfortable at all. If I force William to stay with me, then I'm just like my pushy mother"

"You are not the same, Ashifa! You and your mother are obviously two different cases!"

"I know, sir. But compared to all that, I need more of my father's shoulders and the other shoulders, to be able to support myself in the face of all that"

"We will always support you, Ashifa. Do you want me to go to court tomorrow?"

"If you don't mind, I will definitely be very grateful" Asyifa replied as she began to smile sincerely.

"Tomorrow and so on, I will always go with you" Zidan said firmly, staring deeply at Asyifa's face.

Seriate....
