Loving Prospective Sister-in-law

A Light Fountain

"Mr Alehandro," called a Vanguard Doctor whom Mary often visited.

"Don't I tell you if your wife's womb is having problems for that you should sign this letter" said the Doctor, who has advised her to abort Mary's womb from the beginning of her pregnancy.

"What is this letter Doctor?" ask Alehandro.

"Letter stating if you will choose one of them to obtain safety priority first" said the Doctor. Alehandro's face paled immediately. He looked at Doctor Faisal expectantly.

"Can't it be both doctors?" ask Alehandro.

"We will try to help both of them but we need to know first who will get safety priorities" the doctor said.

His wife and son are equally valuable to his life. Mary is his life and that child is the future of his family. Alehandro's eyes glazed over. Mom Lusi who was sitting limp in the waiting room could only be silent looking at her son with a sliver.

'I have survived to this very moment for my son's safety, so you must support my efforts. He's a part of me you never hurt him because it hurts me too.'

Mary's words were ringing in her ears. With trembling hands Alehandro wrote that he would put his son's salvation first before Mary's. Tears began to drop when he finished signing the dossier.

Mom Lusi stood up and approached towards Alehandro hugging his shoulder to give her strength.

"Okey, I'll put your child's safety first" the doctor said.

"At the same time your wife is Anfal her life chances are very minimal, this is the right decision."

Alehandro's body fell backwards after the doctor told him how Maria was doing.

"Is my wife's chance of life still there?" ask Alehandro.

"Pray that everything will go smoothly and your wife can survive."

The doctor then went back into the operating room.

Alehandro hugged his mother's body. He could no longer contain his feelings.

His body trembled, his breathing was wheezing, his legs were limp and his world seemed to be shattered.

"I-I feel like the one who killed my own wife the person I love the most, Mom," Alehandro said.

"You've done everything well now we can only pray waiting for the miracle to come," said Mom Lusi wiping her own wet cheeks.

Natalia who heard him fall down on the floor and sat down with her legs bent to her chest. His face is between his knees.

They were only two months together and God was going to take them. He regretted having wasted twenty years of time in vain. Never once did he intend to seek the whereabouts of Mary. Not because I don't remember the boy. It was just that he bore a great deal of shame. She had no face to sit in front of her son and say that I was your mother. Mother who left you when you were very young. A mother willing to exchange you for a comfortable and safe life. The mother who wasted you until you grew up alone. There are so many sins that he has suffered. However, when he wanted to fix everything God did not give him more time.

Someone touched Natalia's shoulder. Natalia then turned her face and hugged him tightly.

"She.. my son .. she .. ," Natalia could not continue her words her mind was confused, worried, anxious, and sad mixed into one.

The man just hugged her while gently rubbing Natalia's back.

They divorced because her husband could not give her offspring and she freed Natalia to look for another man who could give her offspring. News of Natalia's son's presence from his past has brought the man back closer to his ex-wife. At least it will not be their discussion.

Tanjung's son who was near Natalia could only gently wipe the arms of Natalia gave the child the strength to get through the difficult times of his life. She felt guilty because she had kept Natalia and Maria apart all this time.

He who has made life difficult in me and destroyed the business of his family so that they live in poverty. After that, he invited Natalia back with him. Natalia is the only child she has. Although there are other sons but he is only his foster children are not the true successors of the Tanjung family.

"Oek.. oek .. oek .... ," heard the sound of a crying baby from inside the operating room. Everyone is smiling.

"Your son has been born Alehandro, congratulations" said Mom Lusi. Alehandro shed his tears again at least in the darkness of the matter but he was able to get a bright spot of light from the presence of his little angel.

He did not know whether he should be happy or sad because he did not know how his wife was in there.

Alehandro who was sitting then stood up and walked to the front door of the operating room. Waiting for that door to open and getting some good news from inside.

Five minutes later the door opened. A midwife still wearing surgery clothes came out carrying a white cloth package.

The man could barely breathe waiting for the tiny baby to come closer to him.

"Mr Alehandro," call the midwife. Bloodstains were still on his shirt. Maria's Blood. Alehandro's stomach felt nauseous.

"Your son has been born safely. I congratulate you, sir," said the midwife, handing the little baby over to Alehandro. Alehandro accepted it tremblingly. Everyone came closer to see him.

A tiny face that is still reddish and dirt birthmarks have not been cleaned.

Alehandro kissed the boy who was waiting for his presence by all those people. The boy's eyes were similar to his and his lips were similar to Mary's lips, thin and tiny.

Alehandro took a deep breath. A small smile rose from his lips. "Welcome to this world Dear, I will take care of you always and give you full affection" she whispered softly.

"He has not been cleaned completely, he must also be put into the incubator room because his body weight is not enough" said the midwife stretched out her hand so that Alehandro handed the child over again.

"May I accuse him first" Alehandro asked.

The midwife nodded her head.

"What about my daughter-in-law?"

"The doctor is trying his best to keep everyone safe" the midwife replied ambiguously. Alehandro closed his eyes for a moment.

All were silent only the sound of breathing was heard. The small voice of baby Alehandro made them stunned from their respective minds.

Natalia came closer to the little baby.

"Like you Ale," he said. Alehandro could only smile as he looked towards the door of the operating room.

"He still needs his mother's affection does he have to start fighting for his own life?" inner Alehandro.
