Being a Night Butterfly

TMKF-40

Theo woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of water gurgling from the bathroom. He did not see his wife on the side. Not suspecting anything, Theo chose to close his eyes again. However, it was only for a moment because he opened his eyes again when he heard the sound of people vomiting. In a hurry, Theo got out of bed and went into the bathroom. 

"What's the matter, Mel?" Theo helped rub Melinda's nape. 

The woman did not reply and regurgitated all her stomach contents. After that, he also sat down. To his dismay, Theo carried the woman and took her to the room. 

He felt unbearable when he saw the face of Melinda who was pale and limp. He immediately called the doctor and asked a waiter to make hot tea. 

"I'm doing fine. Just get in the wind. Don't call the doctor because it's definitely time for people to rest." Melinda spoke softly. His strength seemed to be drained away. 

"The doctor is on his way here. I'm not calm if you haven't been checked. I'm worried that something's happened to you." Theo kissed Melinda. It makes the woman's heart feel flowery. Seeing how anxious Theo was to her alone had created a happiness for the woman. 

After a few moments, a doctor came in. Without being told again, immediately sat on the edge of the bed and examined Melinda. The doctor was silent for a long time and asked Melinda to do a testpack. Of course, it makes Melinda and Theo look at each other. 

When he remembered that he was already late for the moon, the feeling of weakness felt by Melinda was immediately gone. Vigorously go into the bathroom and do what the doctor tells you.

"How, Mel?" Theo was impatient himself. Standing in front of the bathroom while knocking on the door many times even though Melinda had already replied, still the door was knocked without feeling tired. 

"Oh my goodness, my. I said it wasn't finished. You're not so impatient." Melinda pursed her lips like a child. Theo felt anxious because it immediately kissed the woman's lips.

"How did it go?" ask Theo gently. 

Melinda took a deep breath and then exhaled quickly. "I'm pregnant, Mom." Melinda shows testpack yamg held. There's a line two there. Theo was fixated for a moment then hugged the woman very tightly. 

"Oh my God, thank you. I'm finally going to have a child soon" Theo muttered full of haru. The embrace was tight and Melinda could no longer hold back tears. He was also moved. 

Not wanting to delay the happy news, Theo immediately contacted his parents after the doctor left. Tell them Melinda is pregnant. It was certainly welcomed enthusiastically by them.

A child is what is expected of a marriage. As a supporter of domestic life. Perfect happiness for every couple. Like Melinda and Theo who were enjoying the cravings with patience, Theo complied with the request of the pregnant woman. Including almost every afternoon Melinda always asked to visit the tomb of Atha. 

For some reason, since becoming pregnant Melinda always felt like she missed Atha. Always wanted to come to the son's final resting place. Even now at the age of pregnancy Melinda has reached the age of nine months. 

The woman's stomach is already swollen. Makes Theo feel unbearable and forbids the woman. You can only visit the tomb occasionally. However, Melinda actually cried and sometimes desperate to go alone to make Theo do strict supervision. 

As of now, Theo was forced to return home early when a servant called that Melinda was going to the tomb again, while Theo's parents were going out of town. Without waiting for long, Theo caught up with the woman.

Mom ... Do you miss me? Mother ... I'm coming for you. 

"Atha!" 

Melinda woke up forcibly because she dreamed of Atha, even Theo who was asleep was awake. He was worried to see Melinda sitting down with a sigh. With a sigh he gave her water. 

"What's the matter, Mel? Did you dream of Atha?" 

"Yes. Maybe because I didn't see him. Well, it hurts my stomach, Mom." Melinda felt a great heartburn. It looks like a contraction. Even the bed was wet. 

Theo who was worried immediately took Melinda to the hospital. He told his parents to go home soon. Upon arrival there, Melinda has indeed opened and will soon give birth. 

Just the first time accompanying his wife gave birth to make Theo feel very anxious even though he tried to continue to encourage. Until finally, there was born a baby boy whose crying voice echoed in the room. Theo gave thanks even to shed tears. 

Just as the baby was cleared, Theo's parents arrived at the hospital. They are thankful that their grandchildren were born safe. 

Happiness was even more perfect with the presence of a tiny baby among them. Moreover, the baby's face is very similar to Atha. There is absolutely nothing different. Melinda gave thanks. It was as if the longing for Atha was a little healed. In fact, the happiness felt by the woman is no longer able to be spoken with words.

Believe that every human being has trials. God will not burden man beyond the limits of his abilities. There is always a way out of every problem we face. Believe that there will be a rainbow after the storm hits. God will give the best gift to those who are patient. 

Thank you, Lord. You gave me a cure for all the pain I've ever been through. In fact, you gave me happiness I never imagined before—Melinda.
