Wrong Uterus
Chapter 4

"Syifa, give birth to the child for me."

Devan and his father stared at each other upon hearing Arman's request. This situation they really did not expect, whether to be happy or sad.

Seeing that Syifa was silent, Devan approached Arman. "Heh, it's delicious. You think my sister's a fetal shelter? Don't be selfish, Syifa has every right to himself, he has a future."

"I will give whatever origin Syifa is willing to give birth to the child. I can't let go of the child in her womb" Arman said with all seriousness. He believes the child in Syifa's womb was the answer to his dream at that time.

"Give me anything?" ask Syifa's father suddenly. Seeing from the appearance of his speech, Syifa's father was sure Arman was not an ordinary man.

"Yes, I will give you whatever Syifa asks" Arman replied as he looked at Syifa's father.

Devan realizes that the father is back to waver when offered money, and it is the same as dropping the dignity of their family. "Dad shit, he's a stranger we don't know."

"You shut up, son Arman is kind enough to offer accountability. You know aborting that content is a great sin." Father approached Syifa who had only been bowed since. "Syifa, you agree right?"

Slowly Syifa straightened her head, looking at everyone who was currently waiting for an answer from her. "All of you, except him. Get out of this room, I have something to talk to him about."

"Arman, are you sure you're going to marry her?" gavin whispered to his friend.

"You get out, I'll finish it all" whispered Arman back.

"All right, I'm waiting for you in my room" Gavin said and stepped out with Annisa. Syifa's father and brother followed out.

Now Arman and Syifa were in the room. They stared at each other in silence, as if struggling with their own feelings.

They are just two strangers who don't know each other, but destiny is about to unite them. No one knows what the reason they were found in this way, except Allah SWT who has outlined everything.

"You invited me to marry for the sake of the child growing in my womb. What about other factors? Households must be built based on love, loyalty and affection. We are just two strangers who don't know each other, no affection, let alone love. Do you realize you've been so selfish, making my womb a guarantee?"

The question of Syifa covers all its complaints on this issue. She is just an ordinary woman who wants to marry once in a lifetime with a man who loves her, but she believes Arman's offer is not for that.

Arman's hand was tightly clasped, he felt slapped with Syifa's words. The woman in front of him was completely out of expectations, she had thought Syifa would talk to each other because she wanted to negotiate money, but in fact she was not the double-eyed woman she thought she was, even though he offered all his property.

"My wife has been dead for a long time, I think artificial insemination was the best way to have a child by paying for a woman who was willing to rent out her uterus."

Arman began to bend, bend his knees and rest beside the hospital bed. He thought this was his last attempt before handing over all decisions to Syifa.

"It turns out that this hospital procedure error brought you dragged into my life. Syifa, though not based on love, marry me at least until the child is born. I will take responsibility for all your needs and mine. I will not touch you during the wedding. I'm sure you won't have the heart to kill an innocent fetus and I'm sure you won't want to conceive that child without a marriage bond, so accept my proposal for that child."

What kind of good woman kills an innocent fetus and which good woman conceives without a husband. As faced with the fruit of simalakama, Syifa is in the middle of a equally plunging choice.

But is there any other way to this problem, other than to make peace with the situation?

"I can see if you really want this kid. But my life ...." Syifa gripped both hands with her eyes closed when she recalled how the Word left her and how fate turned reality upside down until she met a foreign man who wanted to make her his wife paper.

Slowly Syifa again straightened his head, seeing Arman who was still faithful kneeling there. "Give me some time to think, you can come back here tomorrow."

Arman immediately stood up from his position. Although he had not got the answer he wanted but at least Syifa was willing to consider. "Well, I'll be back tomorrow and I hope you agree."

Syifa turned her face away without replying to Arman. He felt he had enough to talk, his heart had just broken and his logic was tired to think, he hoped that tomorrow, at least will have more energy to face all the trials of life.

Gavin immediately stood up from his position when he saw Arman coming in. Since then he waited anxiously because Arman was suddenly going to marry Syifa.

"Why see me like that?" asked Arman who was currently standing before Gavin.

"You're crazy, Arman Alfarizi. How can you offer marriage to that woman? You don't see the veil covering her crown, she's just an ordinary woman you can't buy with money." Gavin seemed excited when he evaporated everything he had been damming since.

"I know he can't be bought with money. But what's wrong with me offering you an answer."

"On what basis, love? No way, I know how much you love Cynthia's late house. I'll handle all this even if my hospital is threatened with closure, you don't have to go this far for the sake of the child in the woman's womb. We can do artificial insemination again to women who are truly willing to be valued with money."

"Hufft, we'll see tomorrow. What decision he will make. Vin, are you aware that this error in procedure is not a coincidence. I'm starting to think that God wants Syifa to have my child, not Shila."

For a moment Gavin fell silent, pondering over all Arman's words. "It's hard, I can't use my logic if you've brought God. A wooden stick can be a boat if God wills."

"There is no coincidence in this world unless God has willed" Arman said enthusiastically.

Gavin again gave a look of disbelief while shaking his head. "Crazy, it's the turn of things like this you can be an impromptu ustadz. Learn the right prayer first there!"
