HAVING YOU IS MY DESTINY

The Sweet Only

That was the beginning of Sinta and Mark's relationship. The 15-year age difference does not seem to be a barrier for both.

They meet whenever they have the opportunity. Until 6 months after that, Sinta found herself pregnant. The girl was terrified because she knew that Mark didn't want any children between them. Mark doesn't believe in marriage. And he thought that the child would make it difficult for them to separate if there was a problem.

"I'm pregnant" Sinta said as Mark visited her tonight at her apartment.

"What?" Mark surprised. "Aren't you taking anti-pregnancy pills?"

"Yes. I may have forgotten to drink it. Last month, when I was in America for 2 weeks, I didn't take my pills. And who would have thought that you would follow me there?"

Mark rubbed his face rough. He really likes Sinta. He even fell in love with this girl. However, he was traumatized by his married life because his father twice failed to marry because he was always abandoned by the woman he loved. Finally, Mark and his two younger siblings became children who lack affection because the father prefers to be alone and plunged with alcoholic beverages.

"Do you not want to abort?" ask Mark.

Sinta. "I'm not gonna force you to take responsibility, Mark. Because I already know that you don't want to be in a marriage relationship. I'm just saying this because I think you need to know that I'm pregnant. You are the father of the baby I bear. I have decided to go back to Indonesia. I got the tickets on Saturday. On Friday, I'll be leaving my job. I can't get pregnant and give birth here because I don't have anyone here."

That night, Mark came home from Sinta's apartment feeling bad. He heads to the hospital because Reo asks him to pick up Leon.

When Mark arrived at the hospital, Leon was picked up by Jack.

"What's up, Mark? You look upset." asked Reo.

"Pregnant love."

"Love? Which one is it?"

"Love her best friend, Miss Edewina. We've been in a relationship for half a year."

Reo surprised. "I never thought you had a relationship. It's that deep? When is the wedding? I'll pay for all your wedding needs."

"Lord knows I never wanted to get married."

"But Sinta's pregnant."

"Love also doesn't take responsibility for me."

"You're crazy, Mark! Don't you love that girl?"

"I love him, sir. But I do not want to be disappointed like my father who failed in his marriage 2 times. I don't want my kids to be as unhappy as me and my sisters."

"Mark, Sinta is a good girl. Do you know, many Caucasians are married to Indonesian girls because Indonesian girls are famous for their loyalty. Don't be afraid to fail, Mark. I'm sure that you won't be a bad father to your children. Having that child is a beautiful thing. Don't waste Sinta. Later you regret throwing away the girl you actually love."

Reo's words kept Mark thinking. Until finally, on Friday morning, as Sinta prepared to go to the office and leave with her friends, Mark appeared at the door of her apartment.

"Mark?" Sinta was shocked to see Mark standing in front of the door. Mark came in. He saw that the items in Sinta's apartment were empty.

"Don't go!" said Mark.

Sinta surprised. "Mark?"

"I love you. I actually want the child in your womb. I'm just afraid of getting married and failing like my dad. That's why I don't believe in marriage."

Sinta hugged Mark while crying."I promise I won't let you down. I promise to be faithful to you always. I love you so much, Mark."

"But I'm old, Sinta."

Sinta let go of her embrace. "You are a handsome and attractive old man. Precisely because your age is way above mine, I'm pretty sure that you'll never betray me."

Mark nodded. He kissed Sinta's lips with pleasure. He then knelt before Sinta while opening the ring box below. "Will you marry me?"

That's how Sinta and Mark got married.

"My baby girl!" Mark caressed Sinta's stomach, which is now 6 months old. They live in an elite area in Manchester. The house Reo produced during their wedding.

Sinta who was sitting in a rocking chair while knitting, smiled to see how unfortunately Mark was to her since they were married.

"I'm sure he'll be very spoiled on his papa."

"I'll really spoil her. Like I adore his mother."

Sinta put the needle and thread in his hand He immediately hugged Mark. "Ah, dear. Happy to have a husband like you." whispered Sinta then presented Mark with a kiss in a row.

"What's the gender?" ask Reo curiously. Today they control again to the gynecologist. The age of Edewina has entered the fourth month.

"Baby boy." Doctor Lenna made Reo and Edewina look at each other with a smile.

"Gee....Leon will have a friend to play soccer." said Leon who was joining together today.

"He's so happy to have a younger brother." Reo said as he rubbed his son's head.

"Yes." Yeah." Leon jumped up and down in excitement.

Edewina happy. He and Reo had agreed never to have a problem with the sex of their child.

After returning from the doctor's office, Leon asks to stop at a toy store. He bought toys for his sister. Although Edewina and Reo had explained that his sister had not been able to play at birth but the little guy seemed to be impatient and did not want to be denied. He bought some toys and went home.

Upon arriving home, Edewina was struck by the arrival of the opa Edriges.

"Why?"

Edriges smiled and hugged his grandson. "Opa can't wait to see you when you find out that you've rediscovered your memories. Opa is very happy."

"I'm also glad opa's here."

Edriges held Edewina's stomach. "Are you pregnant again?"

"Yes. The doctor said the gender was male." replied Edewina proudly.

Jack and Riani smiled happily upon hearing that. Jack who looks the happiest because he knows that the successor to the Almond generation is increasing one more.

"Opa will stay here until you give birth to your child, baby. Can you?"

"Of course I can. coincidence is not ahead I will graduate, opa. Finally I was able to finish my college which was delayed for 3 years."

"Opa proud of you, baby."

Edewina graduated the following month. He is grateful to have completed his S1 studies. Both of his parents came too.

As they were partying feeling Edewina's diwisudanya, Sinta suddenly got a stomachache. Everyone immediately panicked because this was not the time to give birth.

The doctor decided to perform a cesarean section. Finally, the baby girl was born healthy.
