An Eagle was flying in the sky, then landed after seeing the person in question. Taking a trip far enough to pass through several areas is certainly not easy for the Eagle to reach its destination. However, the Eagle was clever and quick enough to find the person his Master was looking for.
Zhaoling who found the Eagle with a letter at his feet was certainly astonished. He wondered inwardly, who was the sender of this distant message? But, his question was answered already when that piece of paper was opened wide.
'Go home! We need you,'
"Dad," he mumbled. A message was more precisely the word plea written on a piece of paper in black ink. Zhaoling simply grasped the letter with a feeling that was hard to decipher.
Curiosity and worry mixed into one, filling his mind at this moment. Should he follow his father's request? But what about his wife? Xin'er's condition was pregnant, plus her who was still complaining with her cravings.
Sometimes, he often ate food that he thought was strange, or sulking if he did not get his wish, and was spoiled if with his wife even in front of many people. It seems the baby is deliberately making himself look embarrassing. It is very troublesome for Zhaoling, because it does not fit his image as a cold man.
"What's wrong?" liu Wei asked when she saw Zhaoling's facial expression. He even frowned as Zhaoling pointed towards the sky, "a message?" he guessed his best friend's signal.
Zhaoling only nodded weakly. "They told me to go home! Should I obey him?" asked while turning his body towards Liu Wei.
A heavy sigh rang out from Liu Wei's mouth before replying to Zhaoling's words. "Maybe something happened there. Go home! Yu Xuan and I will guard your wife with our lives" she said, calming Zhaoling's bewildered heart.
Indeed, the three of them seemed to already understand each other. Whatever problems they are facing must not be separated from the support of each other. Including personal affairs, all three must have interfered even though people considered it disrespectful or in violation of their respective human rights.
"But, I can't leave Xin'er here pregnant. I want to be next to him at times like this" Zhaoling said. He was reluctant to leave Xin'er for just a minute, let alone for a long time.
The distance between the Xung Shang mainland and the Jhajhanan mainland is very far, plus the trip to Xili takes five days from the mainland border of Shotokoyah the rear gate of Sharimie City. If calculated, the journey from where it is now to Xili it takes eleven days. It must be very tiring if you have to travel that long.
"Didn't you trust me and Yu Xuan? We will take good care of him" Liu Wei said. "But you should talk to your wife first. Whether he agrees or not" he continued.
Zhaoling hesitated. To be honest, he was very hesitant if he had to tell Xin'er the matter in the Palace. Afraid that his wife was burdened and made him have to be forced to agree to all his decisions without giving an opinion.
The man rushed to see his wife. He did not want to hide anything more from Xin'er, let alone his family affairs. "Honey. Can we talk for a second" he said after meeting Xin'er in the kitchen.
His wife nodded while putting the centong used for cooking. She also followed the direction of her husband. "What's wrong?" asked with curiosity.
It seemed that Zhaoling was hesitating at the moment. However, this matter should be discussed with his wife. "Umm, look. "it neutralizes with a slight throb. "I got a letter from Dad," reached out to show him a piece of paper he got from the Eagle.
Xin'er immediately read the contents of the message on the paper. "You want to go home?" asked without looking. His pearl netra remained fixed on the piece of paper in his grasp.
"No! I don't intend to go home for now. I want to wait for the birth of our child, after that I will bring you back to the Palace." said Zhaoling gave an excuse.
"If it's an important matter, will you still ignore it?" ask Xin'er again.
Zhaoling slightly thought of hearing his wife's question. There is something behind the word that is said, such as a ban but there are also concerns. He nodded his head quickly, not wanting Xin'er to think a no-no.
The breath sounds long. Xin'er pulled herself to face her husband while tightly grasping his hand. "Alingo. You're mine, but you belong to your father and mother. They deserve your attention, Aling. I know, maybe the hurt you felt first turned into hatred towards them. But, after all, they are your parents. It is appropriate for a child to be obedient to his parents," Xin'er advised.
"But what about you? You also need my presence right now beside you. Our son will be born soon, Xin'er!" said Zhaoling while stroking his wife's distended stomach.
"You sure I'm going?" asking to make sure his wife answers so that there is no doubt in acting.
Xin'er smiled back while nodding. "Let's go tomorrow morning, after you have breakfast. Always be careful on the road, that I may be quiet here awaiting your arrival."
"Well, if you let me go. But remember, you have to take care of your health in order to give birth to this world. I hope when he gets home he's out!" zhaoling chuckled.

"Hey. You don't want to wait for her to come out like when Mengshu gave birth to her son? You're so mean" Xin'er said sulking after hitting her husband's arm.
"That's not what I mean! I just don't want you to have any trouble giving birth just because I'm waiting for my arrival. Let him out when it's time to get out. Don't burden him to wait for his father's arrival!" zhaoling explained. He did not want his wife to be in pain or trouble when the time of childbirth arrived, just because she was waiting for his arrival.
After hearing Zhaoling's explanation, Xin'er just nodded in understanding. She did not sulk anymore and smiled hugging her husband.
It's not that Zhaoling doesn't want Xin'er coming home. But, because the condition of his wife who was pregnant made the man did not dare to take pregnant women to travel far like this. And it also really made it easier for Zhaoling to shorten the travel time, which should be in eleven days, he could travel in just seven days. Very fast, no!

This morning as promised. Zhaoling said goodbye to Xili to his wife and two best friends. There was doubt in his heart when he looked at the beautiful face of his wife, because he had to leave her long enough. However, he was determined to immediately resolve whatever problems that occurred there, then return to his wife and small family here.
"I'm leaving, Xin'er. Take care of him for me, and make sure you're okay when I get back!" order Zhaoling when he leaves this morning.
Riding on a horse, he ran as fast as possible to get to Xili as soon as possible. But, of course, you have to rest for a while on the journey to rest yourself and also the horse.
After Zhaoling's departure, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan tightened their watch on Xin'er. Both do not want any assistance and ensure the safety of his best friend's wife to stay safe. So did Mengshu and Yuelie, who were always guarding Xin'er day and night. They also do not want her best friend to feel lonely because her husband left to go to Xili.
Two weeks had passed since Zhaoling left. Xin'er felt quite painful heartburn, maybe it's time to give birth. Liu Wei, Yu Xuan, Mengshu, as well as Yuelie rushed over to prepare everything. They brought Xin'er to see Physician Ji'en at Zhaoling's request earlier.
'If Xin'er is going to give birth, take her to Physician Ji'en. Because she's the only one I trust to handle my wife's labor,'
Indeed, the expertise of Physician Ji'en is undoubtedly in midwifery. He has good skills and techniques in handling birth, although his age is fairly young.
Physician Ji'en immediately took action to help Xin'er give birth normally and safely. He did everything he could to save them both.
Long enough Physician Ji'en was in his room, until the sound of crying Baby was heard from inside.
"Ooeeeeeee .. oooeeeeeee,"
The four people waiting for him outside the room smiled in relief. They hugged each other for being happy, "Congratulations to us for getting a niece!" they say when they hug.
