A Reply to My Husband

Test Result

"Listen to me carefully." The goddess took out a brown envelope from inside her bag. Then he opened a white sheet containing the results of the sample analysis sp*** Barra.

"Here indicates there is a genetic abnormality in sp*** your husband. This abnormality makes it impossible to fertilize the eggs you produce."

"So ...?"

"So maybe you won't be able to get pregnant with Barra. For example you still want to do a tube baby program, you need to find a qualified sp***** donor."

"So right .. I'm not barren."

"But I can't guarantee the results of this test are one hundred percent accurate because the samples you provide don't meet the standards. And the results of this test are only based on the sample you gave." The goddess handed the paper to Rania.

"If you want to get a hundred percent accurate result, several more tests are needed on samples issued under different conditions."

"No. This is enough for me."

"Then I go first, there's a patient waiting for me at the hospital." The goddess stood up to leave Rania. But then Rania prevented him after opening the message on her phone.

"Wait a minute ..."

"What else? I'm in a hurry?!"

Rania stood up and took a selfie with Dewi.

"Your husband?" Rania nodded.

"I'm going, I'm going."

Rania nodded without noticing the Goddess who had already left. His eyes focused on his phone.

"My friend said someone saw you at the hotel. What are you doing there?" That's what Barra's message is.

"Meeting the Goddess, she's in a seminar here." Reply Rania accompanied by sending her picture with the Goddess that she took right before the Goddess left.

Barra used to be very possessive of Rania, every activity of Rania outside the house should she take her picture and send it to Barra, including with whom she went. Barra even deleted all the numbers of Rania's male friends from her phone and Rania did not mind at all that time. He thought it was a form of how much Barra loved him. And because of her love, Rania just followed all that.

"okay." Reply Barra which means he does not mind the existence of Rania in the hotel.

Rania breathed a sigh of relief. Now he turned to the white paper in front of him. He repeatedly read the inscription on the paper even though he did not understand the medical language.

"So all this time .... I'm not barren?!" muttered Rania with a blank look. He was silent for a while, then he laughed to himself until it stopped and his eyes were teary, almost like crazy.

"I've been insulted and reviled for reasons they don't know?" Rania laughed but with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Suddenly someone grabbed Rania's hand and dragged her away from the place. Rania looked up and saw who was pulling her hand. His troubled feelings made him resigned as the man pulled him to walk towards the elevator.

"Malik ... What are you doing?" rania asked after the two of them were in the elevator. He leaned his head against the wall of the elevator with a face of despair.

"Don't cry in a public place like that. At least find a quiet place."

"I'm not crying!"

"Then what is this?" Malik rubbed Rania's cheeks that were still wet with tears.

"Where are you taking me?"

"To my room."

They were in the presidential suite that Malik occupied. Rania immediately sat on the sofa without being invited by Malik. Malik took her a drink to calm her down.

"You said you were good news. Then what is this?" Malik handed a bottle of mineral water to Rania then sat down in front of her.

Rania was silent. She did not know that she had to cry or laugh like she had done in the lobby unconsciously. For years she was quietly insulted and reviled by her in-laws for reasons that were not yet clear. For this reason he was threatened with divorce without being given any property. All this time she devoted herself to her husband and in-laws but that was the only reply she received.

Finally, Rania could not hold back her tears. He spilled out the heartache that he had been so damning for years. He regretted five years of his folly being bullied and humiliated. Seeing Rania crying as she pleased, Malik approached and hugged her.

"Are you okay?" Rania did not answer. She kept crying in Malik's arms.

"Well, if you don't want to talk."

Rania took off from Malik's embrace after she felt calm. He wiped his tears and grabbed the bottle of mineral water that Malik had given him.

"Thank you" he said later. "I have to go home." Rania grabbed her bag.

"Wait a minute, at least until your eyes don't look like they're crying."

Rania uncovers her intentions, Malik has a point.

"Congratulations .. You have succeeded in realizing your ideals." Rania.

"There's one that hasn't materialized yet" Malik replied.

"Don't being an orthopedic doctor have been your goal for a long time?"

Malik nodded. "But there's another one that hasn't materialized yet."

"What's that?"

"Marry the one I love" Malik replied as he looked at Rania.

"Malik .. Come on, I'm married."

"But I haven't."

"You can find other women who are more everything than me."

"I just want you." Malik hugged Rania from behind. Rania tries to let go of Malik's hand but Malik tightens his arms.

"Give me a minute ... I miss you so much" whispered Malik.

Rania stopped trying to remove Malik's hand from her body. This situation makes Rania again remember her past with Malik, when they were still lovers. Rania accidentally meets Malik at a cafe as they scramble for an empty seat. Funny events that make them get to know each other then getting closer and finally dating.

"You remember, that time scolded me because you said you saw that chair first?"

Rania laughs. "And you keep occupying her without guilt, and say who fast she can be! You were stubborn at the time."

"You kept scolding me and insistent on saying that you saw that chair first. You were also very fierce at that time." Malik chuckles.

Both are laughing. Rania then turned her body until now they both faced each other. Malik looked at Rania's soft eyes. And Rania realizes nothing has changed from Malik's gaze towards her.

They used to love each other. But when Malik continues his studies abroad to pick up the orthopedic specialist he aspires to, Rania decides to end their relationship. Malik had begged Rania to wait for him until he finished college but Rania was not willing. Rania does love Malik, but she doesn't want to wait that long.

"I still love you Ran .. same as before." Malik's words made guilt appear in Rania's heart. Malik kissed Rania's lips. They parted well so it is natural that the love is still left in each other's hearts.
