100 DAYS OF MARRIAGE
Grannies
Namira POV.
My heart is pounding looking at the USG monitor screen. There I saw my baby-to-be who I didn't expect at all because he was born from Leonel's seed. But I can't hate him. Imagining her being born into the world alone made me feel very happy, I wanted her a long time ago, from the very beginning to marry Emil, and God gave me the gift of being Leonel's wife.
Well, I don't want to blame God, isn't what he intended and planned best for each servant? And because of her I can also tell how much Emil loves me, whether Emil's love is sincere or just pseudo. And it's been all my fears that I've been harboring alone all this time. Emil tried to accept this child and stay with me.
"I don't want to make you anxious, but," Doctor Karin who examined Namira paused.
"What's up, Doc?" ask Namira to worry. She was afraid that something bad might happen to her fetus, she said, remembering that during her pregnancy, Namira had always experienced the birth and inner torment of Leonel.
"At 13 weeks the baby's head should have started to erect, but you don't have to worry. Let's see how it goes later in Week 16."
"Is that a serious problem, Doc?" namira's heart was really agitated.
"I suggest, you start to pay attention to your health, ranging from diet, nutrition, vitamins, sleep patterns, participating in gymnastics pregnant women, and also, your mind, do not get stressed."
Namira listened, he felt a little afraid of the words that the Doctor said, Emil did not accompany him because he had to go to the big house, grandma was very sick. And Emil just drove Namira to the hospital and went to see her grandmother.
"In addition, the condition of the fetus is very good, weighing 55 grams, with a length of 9 cm, his arms have also begun to be proportional to body shape, heart rate, amniotic fluid, plaseta conditions, and so on, and the umbilical cord's all in great condition." The doctor continued to explain.
Namira nodded in understanding. He got up and sat down after a series of tests, the doctor cleaned the remaining gel in Namira's stomach with a tissue, then threw it into a garbage can.
Namira looks at the phone, a few messages from Emil asking if the check is done? Because Emil is going to pick her up, and bring Namira to his family mansion. Without Namira knowing, Emil has told Fabrizio and his Daddy everything.
"Drink this regularly according to the prescription I give, again I emphasize, do not stress, pregnant women should be happy and healthy. So that the growing fetus is also happy and healthy."
"Thank you, Doc."
"Together, Namira's mother."

Author POV.
'Shelf!'
The car door closed, Namira was already in Emil's car, and slowly, Emil began to run the vehicle out of the hospital yard, then drove forward at a speed that was splitting the streets of Paris, Paris, towards the big house.
"Hows it? What's the Doctor saying?" ask Emil who is driving.
Since coming out of the examination room, Namira thought about the head of her fetus that was still not upright, and it revolved along with the shadow of Leonel's behavior all this time that tortured him, which tortured him, all of that whirling image filled Namira's mind.
No answer, Namira daydreams and he does not hear Emil asking him, Namira does not flinch at all, the look of his face can not cover his sadness, and his worries.
Emil caught the different gurat, a single smile Namira did not show since leaving the hospital.
"Darling?" Emil called out Namira's name once again. Namira was still silently kneading the little paper from the Doctor.
"Darling?" Emil touched Namira's hand to disperse the woman's daydream.
"Aah?"
"Are you okay?" tanya Emil still clasped Namira's hand but her gaze was fixed forward and only occasionally turned to Namira.
"Ah? I-i yeah, I'm okay!"
"How was the test result?"
"Well," replied Namira softly, her heart throbbing in fear considering the Doctor's statement about her unrighteous head.
"Thank God!" Emil took off Namira's hand, he had to immediately refocus on the steering wheel of the car, because the road is quite crowded today.
"What about grandma?" now it was Namira's turn to ask.
"He had not eaten for two days, did not want to be taken to the hospital, he said the hospital was just stalling and he felt sicker, he just wanted to stay in grandfather's room. I'm so sorry that he's been gone all this time and he misses me so much because I'm the only one who always reminds him of his late grandfather. Because of our resemblance."
'As I have done all this time, ' Namira continued inwardly.
"Yes, you're right." Emil develops a sweet smile while stroking Namira's hair. But Namira just kept quiet without a backlash.

Grandma was lying weakly on the bed of the late grandfather's room, grandmother's love for her man was indeed extraordinary. Often the grandmother said, if God would take his life, then the grandmother wanted him to lie on the bed of her late husband.
"Mr,,," said Namira stroking the back of Grandma's already very wrinkled hands. The old woman was weak and pale.
Slowly both of Grandma's eyes opened, looking at Namira who was sitting on the chair by the bed, and Emil standing beside her.
In Grandma's room there are Aretha and Fabrizio, as well as Daddy and Mommy Di. They all gathered in a blue raging feeling.
"Namira," said Grandma Sangt slowly, she smiled at Namira who came to see her. Two years ago, they never met each other.

The rain fell very heavily, the sky of Paris was completely black by the cloudy scrolls.
Grandma was buried near Grandpa's grave.
Well, after talking to Namira, Emil and his whole family, even grandmother had time to eat porridge, the night grandmother breathed her last, and this morning grandmother was buried. The afternoon heavy rain poured all over the city of Paris as if to feel sad for the departure of Grandma.
Namira just finished taking a shower, he grabbed the AC remote to turn it off, the cold so crackled, then Namira turned on the warmers.
He was wearing only a knee-length bathrobe and a towel-rolled head.
Namira went to the closet, looking for clothes that he could wear and changed.
Long enough to leave this emil luxury room, but in fact the maids take care of all the items in it very well, including Namira clothes left in the closet.
'Cloth!' the door opened, Emil came.
Suddenly Namira turned around, quite surprised by the presence of someone who entered the room without permission, afraid if he was a bad person, who else if not Leonel. Well, Namira's traumatized.
"You okay?" tanya Emil approached.
"You surprised me" Namira answered honestly.
"Sorry" said Emil.
After that Namira was about to step into the bathroom to change clothes.
"I'm cold," softly Emil hugged Namira's body from behind, he wrapped his hands together perfectly to the front of Namira's belly. Dropped his head on the woman's shoulder.
Emil is deeply saddened by the passing of his grandmother of course. In addition to losing, the regret of having left her still enveloped her little heart.
"You want me to do something?" ask Namira.
"To warm your body?" continued.
Emil looked up, twisting Namira's body. They stared at each other in meaning, both eyes were equally red illustrating how sad they were both.
"Can?" ask Emil for permission.
Namira commented a smile, after which she put the clothes in her hand back into the closet.
"He em," Namira replied nodding. And Emil's smile instantly expands.
