An Unwanted Marriage

Your Second Best

Happy reading & ''Double

Guilt creeps into Gibran's heart right now. How selfish he was, asking Sabina to understand when the wife also needed to be understood.

"If dad asks about the results of his examination, please tell him the results are good." Please Sabina at her obstetrician.

The doctor looked at Sabina for a moment, he gave a smile before speaking.

"Alright, but if you promise not to be too stressed so that your diet and sleep return to normal." The answer.

"Yes, I promise... From now on, my baby is all I'm gonna think about. Don't want to think of anyone who doesn't care about our health." Say Sabina and make Gibran's jaw harden instantly. He felt that what Sabina said was not true. He also cares about Sabina and her son.

Gibran wanted to cut off Sabina's conversation, but he would not argue in front of others.

They waited long enough to talk about many things until a nurse brought a paper bag containing vitamins and drugs prescribed for Sabina.

"Thank you for the time" Sabina stood up and greeted the doctor, followed by Gibran. And they walked out.

"How did it go, Non ?" Ask Mbok Inah impatiently.

"Mmm, all good. Don't worry, ma'am." Answer Sabina.

"Mbok is afraid of Non Bina why the problem is eating a little and continue to like his own cry as well."

"Mmd !" Sabina glared her eyes reminiscent and Mbok Inah covered her mouth with both hands.

Gibran gasped when he heard that. He wants to talk a lot but he knows now is not the time.

"Bina, what do you want ? Let me buy you. Remember the doctor said, you have to eat a lot." Ask Gibran.

"No, it's okay. I can buy it myself. You must be too late to go to the clinic, right ?" Sabina asked back.

"I won't be gone for long" Gibran said.

"Don't be bothered because of me, do whatever you think is important." Answer Sabina.

"You're the most important thing to me, Bina." Gibran said he could no longer hold it in his heart.

"I'm the most important ?" Sabina asked with a laugh.

"Bina, i...,"

"We're in the hospital. It wouldn't be good for both of us to argue here. But I don't want to argue anymore. I want my son to be happy and that's the most important thing." Cut Sabina.

"We'll talk about this later." Gibran.

"But like I said, I don't want to argue anymore."

"Not arguing, we'll talk about it again later." Gibran and Sabina were left speechless.

Gibran arrived late at his clinic and immediately opened the practice even though all the facts about Sabina and her pregnancy were so disturbing to his mind that Gibran made a big decision.

Gibran cleaned his desk until neat. Carry some items that he considers important in a box.

"Where is the doctor going?" Ask Rani to be surprised.

"I'll be closing the practice for some time." Gibran replied as he continued to tidy up his belongings.

"How long are you on leave ?" Ask Rani again.

"Of course, I can't be sure. Maybe for a little while or forever but don't worry about your salary I'm still paying." Reply Gibran again.

"Dok ?" Rani did not understand.

"Until my wife is healthy again. I'm busy to the point of being negligent towards someone who should be my top priority." Answer Gibran.

"Sabina's mother is sick ?"

"It can be said that way, and I am the cause." Gibran replied regretfully.

"Then what about Amanda's mom?" Ask Rani again.

"Mmm, I've given you quite a lot of money. Hopefully enough until she gives birth. And tell him not to see me again for whatever reason."

"Baa... Alright."

"Please make an announcement about the closure of my practice and an apology for not being able to be ascertained until when." The words of Gibran and Rani nodded obediently.

"We're definitely gonna lose you, Doc. May your wife recover as soon as possible." Rani said sincerely.

"Thank you, I'm going home." Gibran also left with a large box containing his personal belongings.

Yes Gibran decided to close his little clinic for some time. She prefers to pay more attention to Sabina and her pregnancy because that is what is most important to her.

After Sabina returned from the hospital, she was surprised by the arrival of a bouquet of lily and white roses. Both are Sabina's favorite flowers.

"May happiness always bloom in your heart. Happy birthday. Love, Tama's family." (May happiness always bloom in your heart. Happy birthday to you. With love, Tama Family.)  Sabina read the pink card inside the bouquet. He knew it was Andre who sent it even though there was written the surname Tama.

Too late in his troubles with Gibran makes Sabina forget her own birthday.

He also looked for flat objects from his handbag and turned out to be dead because of running out of power.

Sabina immediately charged the phone and turned it on.

"Already Bina, you must be strong for the sake of the baby in your stomach. You should not feel disappointed like this because you have not realized that all this time you are only second best (not the best or not priority ) for Gibran." Sabina said in her heart. And he smiled wryly too.

"Aren't there dinner parties for birthdays ?" Asked Sabina's father whose presence Sabina didn't notice. Suddenly he was not far from where he stood and observed the large bouquet of roses.

"Tama's family ? Andre ?" Ask the father.

"Yes, and since when have you been here ?" Sabina asked and she greeted her father by kissing his hands and hugging him.

"Since then, I've been saying greetings but you're cool with your phone. Happy birthday, dear."

"Thank you and I'm sorry I didn't notice my father's presence."

"What about dinner at dad's ? We invited some of the closest families. I didn't prepare a party because you're married now. I think it's your husband who's more entitled to do anything for you."  Obviously Sabina's father and made her daughter's heart feel wry.

"Even if he doesn't remember my birthday, or maybe he doesn't know." Inner Sabina in his heart.

"Gibran is very busy, after all I'm embarrassed for a party. I'm no longer a girl." Sabina replied with a laugh. He defended Gibran in the eyes of his father.

"Say Gibran don't get too busy because now his biggest job is to take care of you."

"Dad, don't worry, Gibran's watching me." Answer Sabina. In his heart he denied his own words.

"Thank God if so," said Sabina's father who now looks relieved.

"Well, I'll wait at home tonight. We had dinner together. But now I have to go first because there's a need." Sabina's father kissed the top of her child's head affectionately before she left.

Gibran came earlier than usual. He entered the house and walked up the stairs to the 2nd floor to his former room with Sabina. He no longer entered the guest room as before.

"I came home" said Gibran, and he was amazed to see Sabina, who was now dressing up in front of the mirror.

"Where are you going ?" Ask Gibran.

"Dad invited her to dinner at his house." replied Sabina briefly. He saw Gibran put a box on his desk without asking any questions. As Sabina had said, she did not want to argue anymore.

"Wait, I'll take a shower." Gibran said and he immediately entered the bathroom.

Mbok Inah came into Sabina's room with a few pieces of Gibran's clothes in his hand.

"I was told by the doctor to bring his clothes here."

Sabina just nodded her head without answering and Mbok Inah immediately went out.

A few minutes later Gibran came out of the bathroom but could not find Sabina in his room.

"Did he leave me ?" Ask Gibran in your heart. He immediately prepared with lightning speed.

After finishing preparing, Gibran walked down the stairs and was relieved to see Sabina sitting in the living room. His wife looked very beautiful with a maroon dress that was so perfect wrapped around her body.

Gibran's steps came to a halt when he saw a beautiful bouquet. Previously, he was not aware of the presence of the flower bouquet. He immediately read the card and was embarrassed because he did not remember his wife's birthday mixed with jealousy because he knew the sender of the bouquet was Andre.

"Sorry, I forgot your birthday." Gibran said regretfully.

"It's okay," answered Sabina briefly.

"You received flowers from Andre ?" Ask Gibran without being able to hide his jealousy.

"The courier sent him. There's no way I'm going to reject it, is there ? Maybe Andre just wants to start a friendship." Answer Sabina calmly.

"But you have history behind it." Gibran's protest began to rage.

"So much as you are with Amanda." Typhoon Sabina.

"That's different, I'm just helping her with humanity."

"Even though this wife of yours asked you to choose the more important one ? And yes you chose him."

"You're more important to me, Bina. Because I love you." Reveal Gibran with a strong feeling.

"I made it my first priority, and I'm only a second choice for you." Sabina also revealed what was in her heart.

"What do you mean ? You're the main thing for me" Gibran did not accept what Sabina said.

"I'm sorry but I don't feel that way. You remember ? When I asked you to come home but you'd rather help her that's where I realized I was just your backup. If you had a choice between me and Amanda. Choose him because if you really love me there should never be a choice. And you did too. You prefer to keep taking care of it when I told you not to. So I know what my position is right now. After this child is born let's split up nicely."

"No building, not like that. What you think is wrong. I love you so much even though I have disappointed you. But believe me you are the only one I love and as I said before, I will never be parted from you" Gibran said without hesitation.
