When Love Should Determine
Chapter 120

Seven months of pregnancy Larissa. The midwife suggested that she do an ultrasound to find out the position of the fetus and its gender.

Larissa had hesitated to go to the hospital, because at that time the covid-19 pandemic plague almost all over the world, worried if she was exposed to the virus as well, especially pregnant women are more susceptible to the disease.

But because of the great desire to know the health of the fetus, especially the sex, he put aside his concerns and went to the hospital to do USG, but he still runs the health protocol.

With great care, Hamzah drove his bike on the cobbled road so as not to make his wife in pain. Many times he looked back to make sure his wife was okay. "Are you okay, Encus?."

"Larissa smiled at how much attention her husband showed. "Don't worry too much! I'm doing fine. You better focus back on the streets and don't look back, we could have an accident."

Hamzah smiled faintly. "Yes already! But later if you are why or feel uncomfortable immediately talk to me yes!"

Larissa nodded. "Yes, I'll talk later. Yeah, it's over there, focus again on the road." Larissa ordered Hamzah's head to look back at the streets.

The distance from the house to the USG place takes about 30 minutes. But because the way to ride a very slow Hamzah makes them take about 1 hour to get there.

Once there Hamzah parked the motorbike in the parking lot, while Larissa headed to the registration section to pick up the queue number and sat in the waiting room waiting for her name to be called.

Repeatedly Larissa changed her sitting position because she felt uncomfortable. Moreover, the condition of his stomach that is getting bigger makes it difficult to sit.

Minutes after minutes, his name was called. Larissa immediately went into the room alone without being accompanied by her husband. Pandemic conditions are getting worse make the hospital minimize the presence of people in the room.

"Mother Larissa?" the doctor said his name.

"Yes, Doc, it's me!."

"Come, ma'am, please lie there!."

Larissa laid her body on the doctor-appointed bed and undressed her slightly to the top to make it easier for the doctor to check.

A nurse pulled out a blanket to cover her lower body and then rubbed the gel over Larissa's stomach to ease the examination. "It's ready, doc, please!" said it.

The doctor got up and approached Larissa. He stared at Larissa's stomach before beginning the examination. "From the shape of the mother's stomach, it looks like the baby in the womb is male" he said.

Larissa's eyeballs widened. The words of the doctor seemed to give him a breath of fresh air. He really wanted his second child is a male, but he did not expect much before the results of the USG really say like that.

Larissa realized that the shape of her stomach in this pregnancy is different from before. If when pregnant Zahra first, the shape of the stomach is round flat. It is now full round and protruding forward.

Slowly the doctor moved the transducer over Larissa's stomach. "Look, mom, that's mom-to-be!" said it.

Larissa looked at the screen in front of her. Everything looks blurry, there is only a black and white image that is not too clear. But he saw a movement there. "Oh my God, that's my son" he said with a happy smile.

"Look, mother, this is the head, this is the leg, and these are both hands" the doctor said again as he moved the transducer to the so-called points.

Larissa excited, although this is her second pregnancy but she is still amazed to see the existence of a small creature that grows in her.

"How's my future baby doing, doctor?" tanyakanya.

"The condition of your baby is very healthy, the water is still plenty. All the limbs are perfect, the position of the head is also below. I recommend that mothers do pregnancy exercises to make it easier during labor later."

"Okay, Doc! I'll do the advice the doctor gave me."

The doctor smiled kindly. "Try me listen! it's the sound of her baby's heartbeat. He seems to be very active in there.

Larissa smiled happily. "That's right, doc! I often feel like my stomach is being stirred up when he's active."

"Anu, doc, what gender is my baby?" tanyanya hesitated.

"Oh yeah, almost forgot!" the doctor patted his own eel because he forgot something very important. "Mother baby sex, boy!."

"Alhamdulillah!" Thank you Larissa said over and over again in my heart.. Her hope of having a son was granted.

"Until here, is there anything I want to ask you again?" ask the doctor after a while.

"No, doc! It's all clear."

"Well, then please sit back!."

The doctor moved and sat back in his place. Larissa tidied up her clothes before sitting back in front of the doctor.

"Are there any complaints that you feel during pregnancy?" ask the doctor later.

"Nothing, doc! Only sometimes the body likes to limp and get tired easily so."

"That's natural, especially the age of the mother's womb has been 7 months. The most important thing is that you get plenty of rest and make sure your nutrition is fulfilled properly. Later I will prescribe medication for the mother so that later it will not be too weak."

blarissa nodded. "Good, doc!."

The doctor wrote something down on a piece of paper and presented it to Larissa. "Here, the recipe. Please take this recipe to the Pharmacy over there."

Larissa took the prescription of the drug and read it at a glance. But the doctor's handwriting was very difficult to read. Maybe only doctors and pharmacists know what the contents of the writing are.

Larissa kept the recipe in a bag and got up from the seat. "Thank you very much, Doc! then excuse me first."

"Come, please!."

Larissa left the doctor's room with a smile etched on her lips. "My husband must be very happy to know that the child I bear is a male, the child he has always dreamed of for a long time" he said in his heart.

And sure enough, as soon as Larissa told Hamzah, her husband, she was so happy. He even immediately hugged her and landed a kiss on both cheeks. "Thank you very much, honey. You have made my dream come true to have a boy."

Larissa hid her face in Hamzah's chest because she was ashamed of her behavior. "Entik, don't act like this in public. Look, we're a spectacle of a lot of people."

Seeing his wife embarrassed, Hamzah was indifferent. "Let's do it, what a shame! Let them know I'm so happy."

"Udah ah, let's get out of here!."

Larissa pulled her husband's arm so they wouldn't be another spectacle.

On the way home, a happy smile never escaped Hamzah's face. In fact, he tightened both hands Larissa to hold tightly to her waist.

Upon arrival at home, Hamzah immediately asked for the results of USG Larissa earlier. He looked at his future son with a smile that never escaped his lips. He even repeatedly landed a kiss on the USG photo.

Seeing this, Larissa's heart warmed. "Thank God, you have given me the opportunity to bring happiness to my husband."
