Marrying a Woman of Mother's Choice

Acting In Front of Elsa

"So what can I help you with?" ask Doctor Daffa when they are in his check room.

Reno and Tenri looked at each other, then Tenri nodded his head first to ask Reno to tell him what really happened and what their arrival meant to the Daffa clinic.

"I want to consult something, and I want to ask you for help, Daff. If you say you don't mind then we'll both be very grateful."

"Continue" pinta Daffa.

"Elsa, my ex-boyfriend, confessed to Doni that she is currently pregnant and that the child in her womb is my son. While I swear by God's name that I never had a relationship like a husband and wife with him. Even if our relationship before marriage was very close, but I never did that to Elsa. Our goal in coming here is to prove that the child in the womb is not my son."

Daffa rubbed his chin and was thinking. He kept quiet for a long time, thinking of the best way to solve the problem.

"Is it possible to test for DNA?"

"That's possible. DNA testing can be done in two ways. Do a DNA test while still in the womb or wait nine months until the baby is born."

"I want a DNA test while I'm still in the womb. I don't want to wait too long, Daff."

"That can be done only-it

"Do whatever, Daff." Reno cut off Daffa's talk.

"Listen carefully, DNA tests can be done since young pregnancy, which is during the first trimester of pregnancy. A DNA test done before the baby is born is called a prenatal DNA test. This is a test to find out the biological father/container of the fetus."

"Prenatal DNA testing requires 3 ingredients, namely paternal DNA, maternal DNA, and fetal DNA. The DNA of the father and mother can be taken from the blood or mucus swabs of the mouth wall. While fetal DNA is taken from the amniotic fluid (amniotic) through amniocentesis containing fetal cells or tissue from the placenta (ari-ari) through a procedure chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Please note that prenatal DNA testing is a sensitive issue due to many ethical and moral considerations, including the risk of the test itself against pregnant women and the fetus."

Hearing Daffa's explanation, Reno and Tenri were a little confused. There are risks when doing this test.

"The next problem is, does Elsa want to do the test?"

The worried face was clearly visible from Reno and Tenri's expressions. That means the test can't be done without Elsa's approval. Meanwhile, if Elsa knows this plan, she will do anything to be able to refuse and block the test.

"Well how?" ask Reno.

"Unless you can trick Elsa into doing the test."

"Does that mean I have to act like a good person in front of Elsa?"

"One way, if it works then I can do a test."

Reno looked at Tenri with a question mark.

"I believe you, Daeng." Tenri answered for sure.

Seeing the two people looking at each other, there was a sense of jealousy rippling in Daffa's heart.

'You always get into Tenri's trouble, now look how clearly from the way you look at Reno you seem to love him. Even you believe in every word he says that he is not the father of the child Elsa conceived. Is it how much you love Reno? Until I keep fighting long ago you never see at all. Now that you two come to me and ask for help, you are the one I have always loved, Reno is my best friend, I cannot hurt you. I cannot be selfish and refuse your requests. But on the other hand, my heart is so hurt that you're happy with the others."

"Daffa, are you willing to sincerely help us if I can get Elsa to meet you?"

Daffa awakens from his daydream, "What is Ren? Ah yes, of course I will help you. You two are no strangers to me. Even if you two are strangers then my job is to help the person who asks for my help as a doctor."

"Thank you, Daff. We'll come again if we've got certainty."

"Thank you, Doctor." Tenri said when he paid Daffa.

When they got home, they were surprised by Elsa's presence on their doorstep. Reno's knuckles looked bleached holding the steering wheel due to the fury that wanted to explode immediately.

But Tenri knows her role here is to make her husband calm so that Elsa will be persuaded by him.

Reno softened, she took a slow breath and exhaled through her mouth.

"It's all for the good of our household, pray for me, baby."

Reno got out of the car, met Elsa who was walking to meet Reno. From behind the windshield, Tenri sees Elsa running to hug her husband. There was a jealous swish he felt, yet he had to be strong. Reno is trying to take Elsa's heart.

"Ren, I want to talk to you." Elsa had already put her hand on Reno's arm.

"What wind brings you to my house?"

"I'm pregnant."

"You sure it's my son?"

"Ren, this is your son. I can't possibly lie, you're the father of the child I'm carrying."

"O yeah? When have we ever done that?"

Elsa looked nervous and did not know what to say. But finally he spoke again trying to convince Reno.

"We do it when you're drunk, Ren. How can you remember that when you were under the influence of alcohol."

"It's been a long time, how many months are you pregnant?"

"I'm 3 months pregnant Ren."

"Like that?" Reno was still unmoved, she spoke but she did not look at Elsa. Inside his chest was already rumbling with anger that half-dead was being held back.

Elsa nodded.

"Alright, I'll take responsibility, but let me accompany you to check your content."

Elsa's eyes sparkled, she did not expect Reno as agreed with her statement that she was pregnant with Reno's child.

"Seriously? Of course, you are his son so you have the right to accompany me to see a doctor. What about Tenri?"

"You're still asking how about Tenri, while you yourself are in trouble. I can take care of Tenri, it's very easy."

Elsa even smiled widely when she heard that speech just came out of Reno's mouth.

"You go home first, I'll pick you up tomorrow to see the doctor."

Elsa who had wanted to go berserk and act furious finally even wrestled spoiled like getting what she wanted.

Finally he obeyed Reno and left the house. He no longer looked towards the Reno car where Tenri was waiting patiently there.

After Elsa's departure, Reno returns to the car and opens the door for his wife, Tenri.

"Darling, down. I'm sorry, yes" he told Tenri.

"It's okay, how do you convince him to be so tame?"

"I'm sorry I vilified you in front of him."

"I'm not angry, Daeng doesn't need to apologize. But next time, don't let him wrestle like that again in daeng's arms."

"Hehe, are you jealous? I'm glad you're jealous. That means you love me, right?"

Tenri pinched Reno's waist and the man immediately tried to dodge while laughing. Reno hugged his pregnant wife and kissed her forehead affectionately.
