Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

A Little Happiness

Although his heart was broken, Tenri still treated Reno as usual. She takes care of and serves Reno because she is her husband. That is his duty as a devoted wife.

It's just that until when does Tenri have to behave like that continue? He was too kind to Reno, even his own feelings he had allowed to crumble to survive with this man.

"I'm sorry about the ring, Tenri."

"Daeng, I don't want to talk about it anymore. You better focus on the healing of daeng's legs."

"But what about you?"

"I don't need any explanation, daeng. Explained or not, will not restore the situation let alone change the situation for the better. I'm aware of myself, daeng."

"I'm sorry again once again."

The repeated apologies he heard now sounded ordinary. Nothing special anymore. For Tenri, Reno was a big lesson in his life. The biggest test is PATIENCE.

Day after day passed, Tenri forgot that there was one more life that he had to pay attention to. The second heartbeat that now resides in his stomach.

Now, that belly looks bloated, though it's not very visible yet. Ever since Reno got sick, Tenri had never again checked her condition and also her fetus. The dream of opening private lessons must be delayed because she must focus on her husband's recovery.

The morning after she trained Reno the way, her stomach was a little cramped. But it was not told to Reno. He only took the last vitamin that Daffa had ever prescribed.

"Daeng, I'm going to the clinic for a bit. Doesn't it matter if I leave daeng for a moment?"

"What's wrong? You sick? You look pale Tenri."

"No. Its alright. I just feel a little dizzy. So can I go to the clinic for a minute?"

"Go away. Be careful on the road, Tenri."

Tenri went to the clinic while holding his stomach which continued to cramp. He decided to go to the nearest clinic and the closest one from his residence was the Daffa clinic. Until there, Tenri did not need to queue, Daffa's assistant immediately asked him to enter.

"Tenri, what's wrong?"

"My stomach is cramping, Doc. Since this morning, I thought it was a normal stomachache but it's not gone."

"Lay there for a minute, I checked. One more thing, can't you just call me a name? Don't use my professional title."

Tenri was lying on the gurney, about Daffa's words just now he didn't bother much.

Daffa did his job as a doctor, so he applied the gel to Tenri's stomach and began scanning using a scanner. It was done to find out the condition of the fetus in Tenri's stomach, whether he was in good health or experiencing something.

"His heart condition is too weak, are you too tired lately, a lot of thoughts, or maybe reduce eating?" ask Daffa while putting the scanner into place.

Tenri got up and sat down on the edge of the gurney. He confirmed Daffa's words just now, he was tired, tired of body, mind and heart. It can indeed trigger the condition of fetal development that is in the womb.

Tenri quietly found Daffa's question.

"You should be able to maintain your diet, maintain health, and also keep you from stress. Because your condition like that will also affect the health condition of the baby in your stomach. You don't want to lose her, do you?"

"Each of them, you must pay attention to your own condition. Actually I don't want to interfere with your household with Reno. But if this continues, not only will you lose your baby but you will also experience Tenri pain."

"What's really going on with your household?"

Tenri is the person who least likes his personal affairs to be questioned by others who have absolutely nothing to do. Therefore, he was not at all interested in discussing it with Daffa.

"The doctor's order is limited to the examination today, so what should I do so that I can save my fetus?"

"If you had any bleeding today, maybe he wouldn't be helped anymore. Lucky because you took action quickly. I'll just give you another prescription booster as well as some vitamins that will help restore your stamina."

"All right, I get it."

"Tenri, if you have a problem don't hesitate to tell me. We're still friends, aren't we? Don't act like we're both people who don't know each other."

"I'm sorry, Doctor."

Tenri made absolutely no room for Daffa to go too far in his life. It made Daffa haru smile wryly as Tenri was still trying to stretch the distance between them.

"Tenri ..." call Daffa but Tenri has already closed the door of the examination room.

'Tenri, I don't know until when you keep acting like this to me. Clearly you know how I feel about you and you're clarifying the distance between us. I know you're married, you're my best friend's wife, but is it wrong that I just want to help you?'

Daffa rubbed his face many times, he remembered how he had fought for his love for Tenri. But the woman insisted on not accepting on the grounds of an arranged marriage.

In the end, Daffa must accept the bad fate because the soul mate Tenri meant was Reno, his own best friend. In the past, he desperately finished college to get a doctor's degree. Wh why? Because he wanted to feel worthy in front of the Tenri family when he came to propose someday. But not only that day arrived, Tenri increasingly discouraged her by saying no matter how much she tried for Tenri, the woman could never refuse because the matchmaking was arranged for her.

Daffa returned to Jakarta. Who would have thought, they even met again and bonded in a confusing symbiosis. Between him, Reno and Daffa.

"You okay? What did the doctor say?" Tenri was immediately greeted by a question from Reno.

"I thought I was okay, just needed a break. Her foetus is also no problem, now entering the twelfth Sunday."

"Thank God. Tenri, I want to show you something."

Suddenly Reno stood up from his wheelchair and demonstrated in front of Tenri that he could stand up straight and walk. Although in his steps remaining a step from the distance Tenri stood he fell, but for Tenri it was an incredible progress.

"Daeng .. Can you walk?" Tenri's eyes sparkled with pleasure, he was happy to see his efforts during this time in training Reno to walk were not in vain.

"Thanks to you, baby ...."

Reno gradually hugged Tenri, even her embrace was now tight. Tenri also welcomed the embrace, permeating it too deeply until secretly his tears fell because he was so happy.

'Thank God, I am grateful even if only this little happiness you give.' he said in his heart.
