The doctor fell silent as Jovanka interrupted her conversation. Understandably, many couples also do not want to know the sex of the baby. Sometimes they deliberately ask to be kept secret so that it feels surprise when the baby is born. Although the results of the USG are not only accurate.
The room was suddenly quiet despite the presence of three adults inside and one still in Jovanka's stomach. The baby's heartbeat was still heard when the three were silent.
"Why, Honey?" reynand asked his wife.
"I want to keep the sex of the baby a secret."
"Loh ... why?" reynand asked, looking lethargic because this is what Reynand was waiting for.
"Let's be surprised, honey. I want to see our baby without knowing her gender. Whether she is a girl or a boy, I will still love her" Jovanka said.
"But, we can prepare more maturely as you know the gender, dear. It is impossible, right, suppose we decorate the nursery shades of pink but the birth of a baby boy? Do you want to be pinky boy?"
"It's not like that, honey."
"Then?" Reynand raised one eyebrow.
For a moment Jovanka thought about what Reynand said. It seems there is a point to the word, Rey. It is also impossible for me to decorate the nursery with shades of pink or violet, for example, the exit of a baby boy. Inner Jovanka.
Jovanka sees her husband's look sluggish because of his differences, but Jovanka knows that her husband really wants to know the gender of their future baby.
"Jude, no papa, Doc. I wanted to know the sex of my baby" said Jovanka who eventually relented.
"Good, Mom. I'm continuing the examination, huh? It wasn't seen yet" the doctor said.
The tool for the USG was again attached to Jovanka's stomach which began to bulge. Slowly, the device shifted gently on the surface of Jovanka's stomach. The doctor looked for something. However, the sex position of the fetus cannot be seen.
Rey was so enthusiastic about seeing the monitor screen. Her hands always hold Jovanka's fingers and her lips continue to fall sweet.
Rey seems to be very interested in this. He seemed to want to know the gender of his son. Inner Jovanka when looking at Reynand's expression.
The doctor looks shaken. Not just once, several times he shook his head and cleaned the gel in Jovanka's stomach.
"Sorry, Mom, sir. Her gender is not yet visible because her position blocks the fetus's gender."
"Oh .. That's it, huh, Doc?" Jovanka.
"Yes, Mom. Maybe next month can be tried again all routine monthly checks," said the doctor.
Jovanka smiled, and Reynand was silent. It seemed like the man was disappointed because what he had hoped for was not achieved.
Rey and Jovanka decided to go home after saying goodbye to the doctor. Along the corridor of the hospital, Rey was as silent as when she was in the examination room.
"Darling?" Jovanka called Reynand.
"Yes?" Reynand.
"I'm sorry, huh?" jovanka said when she was in the parking lobby.
"Why apologize?" ask Reynand. His hands were perched on Jovanka's shoulders, when his wife was bowed.
"Because of me, the gender of our baby-to-be can't be seen."
"It's not because of you, honey."
"But, if I hadn't interfered with the doctor's words, it's possible that the gender of our future baby would have been visible."
"Hmmm ... It's still possible, right?" reynand asked while guiding Jovanka's chin that had been bowed down as if she did not dare to look at Reynand. She looked at her husband for a moment when she answered Reynand's question.
"But––"
"Ssttt .. I'm not mad at you, honey," said Reynand, who then kissed Jovanka's head and held her warm.

The car drove into the city center. Passing through many towering buildings, bright lights illuminate the buildings on the left and right of the road and a dim orange color that illuminates the black asphalt they pass.
"Honey," call Jovanka when the distance is still half.
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm a laper" said Jovanka in a soft voice.
Reynand smiled, "What do you want to eat?"
"Either. I'm confused, eating but afraid of nausea."
"Can. But I want one on the side of the road, not the one at the restaurant or the tongkrongan cafes. I––"
"Yes, I get it. The wagon has a tent on the side of the road, right? Like we used to eat in Bandung when we were in school," said Reynand.
Jovanka nodded.
Reynand thought for a moment when she was in school. Reynand, a boarding boy, invites Jovanka, who is the son of a wealthy businessman in Bandung, to dinner chicken noodles on the side of the road. Carts and tents that are predominantly blue stand on the side of the road using bamboo as a tent objector.
Reynand's lips smiled when he saw Jovanka who wanted to enter the tent stall without any protest or complaint from a rich boy. From there too, Reynand began to put admiration for the figure of a beautiful girl who did not look up to the degree.
At that time, Jovanka did not know that Reynand was the son of his papa boss. He only knew Reynand as a student who sought knowledge in Bandung and contracted there.
"Idiih ... how did you smile from earlier?" jovanka asked when she saw her husband who had smiled without a word.
"No papa."
"Hayooo. Why?" Again, Jovanka asked her husband.
"I'm just remembering the past."
"Past time? It must be your ex-boyfriend here" said Jovanka with pursed lips and arms that she folded on her chest.
Reynand spontaneously braked his car suddenly which made Jovanka shocked.
"It's like that, right? You must remember the shadows of your ex-boyfriend to smile like that. Come ngaku!"
"Where did you know––"
"Tuuuhhhh, huu ...." Jovanka is getting upset.
"Geez, I'm not done talking, honey. I mean, do you know where I got my ex here?"
Jovanka fell silent with her pursed lips upset.
"Jo? The darling? You know from Nana?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Darling?" Reynand was still trying to find information.
"You know, don't you, that girl's feeling strong?"
Reynand.
"Yes .. essentially feeling I catch that you smile is remembering the beautiful memories with your boyfriend manatan. Aye, right?" jovanka asked with sharp eyes and a face that was now so close to Reynand.
His gaze was so fiercely staring at Reynand as if an enemy to him.
Reynand smiled.
"Java!" Jovanka slapped Reynand's chest.
"No."
"My money!"
"What should I admit?"
"Grand!"
"Yes, dear ..." Reynand replied with a friendly intonation.
"Gee!" Jovanka turned her gaze away, but not with her distance still close.
Reynand smiled when she saw jealousy on his wife's face. Slowly, the man guides Jovanka's face to look back at her.
Two pairs of eyes are now in the same spot. However, Jovanka's gaze still looked annoyed.
"I don't know where to start. All I want to tell you is that I only love you and never remember my ex-boyfriend." Reynand tries to explain to Jovanka.
"Lied!"
"Seriously."
"How could I possibly believe you? You here must be famous because you were born and raised in this city. Can't women chase you? I'm not––" Jovanka's speech came to a halt when Reynand's lips silenced her.
