JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

The unexpected guest

“I'm fine, there's nothing you need to worry about.”

“Where are you now?” Ask the man again.

“I'm home now.” Said the girl still with a fluttering smile.

“Why hasn't your phone been active lately? I'm so worried about you.” Say that guy again.

“Ahh my phone is broken so sorry I can't contact you.” Alice's Lie.

“Jeez you are worrying me. I will almost report a missing person if you still can't call in the morning.” Said the man seriously.

“Jeez, it doesn't have to be that bad. I'm doing fine. I didn't memorize your number, so couldn't reach you.” Alice told a lie, and grimaced at the word of going to report a missing person on her behalf. There he'll be laughed at for a month by everyone in CPR.

“Then how did you know I activated my phone. You haven't slept?” Ask Alice.

“I just finished from the operating room. Keep me looking at the readable message notification and you just got online, so I immediately tried to contact you.” Said the man.

“Then?” Alice asked curiously.

"Then what?" Anton asked confusedly.

"Then what about your work, it can be up to this blind morning?" Ask Alice.

“So there is a patient giving birth by cesarean section.. His mother is fine but still under the influence of dope. For the baby is still in the NICU room to get supportive care in the incubator.” Anton said in a sad tone.

“What happened?” Said Alice again.

“The baby has Anencephaly or anencephaly is a serious birth defect condition that causes the baby to be born without part of his brain or skull.”

“How can it happen?” Alice asked curiously.

“ It is a birth defect that occurs when the neural tube does not close perfectly during the first few weeks of fetal development in the womb. Nerve tube itself is a layer of cells that will later develop into the brain, skull, spinal cord and other tissues in the baby. Closure of the neural tube that does not go well causes the brain and sum sum of the developing bone to be exposed to the amniotic fluid that surrounds the inside of the uterus, causing the nervous system tissue to break down and disintegrate. In fact these cases are quite common, but because of uncertain numbers because many pregnancies involving neural tube defects end in miscarriage or stillbirth. About 1 in 1,000 pregnancies have a chance to experience this.” Obviously Anton is sad.

“Then what could have caused that? Or how to avoid something like that?” Alice asked curiously.

“Not all cases of Anencephaly are known exactly what causes it. Some babies are born with it because of changes in their genes or chromosomes, the most common of these genes being MTHFR, genes that provide instructions for making proteins involved in processing folic acid{Vitamin B9}. Folic acid deficiency during pregnancy and before planning to become pregnant is a strong risk factor for neural tube defects such as anencephaly. Or risk factors that will occur in later pregnancy complications such as diabetes or obesity. So it is very necessary to always consult with an obstetrician.” Anton.

“I just feel sad, before I heard the explanation from the patient. She had previously taken gynecologic drugs, as she felt her lover had not wanted the child. But it turned out that there was only a little bleeding, so he ignored it and felt that everything was done. Until a few months later he did not get his menstrual cycle again, then he came control and it turns out the fetus is still strong remain there. Although the result of exposure to the drug resulted in stunted fetal growth, the fetus is still struggling to live to this day, even due to the carelessness of two people who still can not make the right decision resulted in a sinless baby to suffer.” Anton said.

“Gosh, how sorry is that baby. Can he survive?” Alice asked sadly.

“What a pity that baby, endless trials come to him. I wish the best for that baby.” Alice Prayer.

“Yes I hope so too, well it's too late, you haven't rested yet right? You rest. I'll call you back later.” Anton.

“Alright, happy on duty.” Said Alice.

“Where's the goodbye kiss?” Said the man trying to disturb Alice.

“Jeez, you're like an ABG kid only.” Alice said annoyed.

“I won't hang up if you don't give me a kiss goodbye.” Anton.

“Good. Happy duty muachh.” Alice said quickly and immediately hung up the phone without listening to the answer from her beloved.

“It's so funny how he is, just like that I'm sure his face will definitely be as red as a boiled crab.” Anton said monotonously to himself with a smile imagining the girl's face. The man returned to his room to rewrite his report.

Alice blushed with a long-distance kiss, like a teenager in love.

Alice decided to sleep in addition to forgetting the embarrassing moment earlier, Alice also wanted to rest physically and mentally tired because she was always awake even in a state of sleep. Right now finally the girl could completely unleash her self-defense by resting her psychic. Before long the girl had slept far away embracing her dream peacefully without fear or alertness with anything.

Tok tok tok tok

The sound of knocking on the door, Alice moved in her sleep and realized the sound of her door being knocked once again. Then the girl opened her eyes slowly and began to fully awaken from her sleep.

Tok tok tok tok

“Emhhhh it turns out I did not dream, who has already visited in the morning.” Say the girl and immediately rise from her soft bed.

Alice came out of her room and walked through her living room and then to the door and opened the door. As the door opened, Alice was shocked by the unexpected arrival of the guest. A beautiful woman immediately slapped her cheek when the door was open, she wore a red dress on her thigh and looked angry.

“What do you do Zeline.” Alice said puzzled by the unexpected arrival of the girl, not to mention the slap that suddenly landed on her cheek without a cue when the door had just opened.

“You are a woman *******not know yourself. What have you done that makes Johan like a heavy drunk even more deserving of being called undead. You must have teased him and invited him to get drunk and spend all his money.” Said Zeline irritatedly as she pointed at Alice's chest with her index finger until it was slightly pushed a few times.

“What do you mean Zeline? I haven't had a relationship with Johan in a long time. I don't know anything about your allegations.” Alice said and shook off Zeline's hand pointing at her which made Alice start to feel annoyed.

Seriate....
