Happy Family Hospital
That afternoon, Daniel was having lunch in the cafeteria. Nathan and Dion followed him. The two doctors were whispering in front of Daniel. Because they were at one table, Daniel could hear even though he did not understand what they were talking about.
They whispered and laughed and saw Daniel as if he were talking about Daniel. And yes, they were talking about the heart specialist.
"Well, didn't expect Bro." (Nathan).
"You lost far Bro." (Dions).
"I didn't doang, you did too!" (Nathan).
"Other times we can't underestimate him Bro, really beyond the estimation of language." (Dions).
"Ckckck didn't expect, but pendiem like this." (Nathan).
"Pendiem, ferocious night." (Dions).
"Don't let it scuff!" (Nathan).
"Eh make no mistake, Pretty Boy is the incarnation of Ironman, the bininya Black Widow, the same superhero." (Dions).
"Yes yes, the pantesan is not tired." (Nathan).
Daniel looked at them both.
"Grad ...." Daniel just cleared his throat.
Dion realized he had to convey something important to Daniel. "Niel, this morning, your mother called. He said I was told to advise you" said Dion.
Nathan covered his mouth with a hand, holding back a laugh. Daniel waited for advice on what was meant.
"Where do you say it, help Bro!" Dion confused himself.
"You 'play it' don't go around too often, give it a pause!" (Nathan).
"Tempo set!" (Dions).
"Hush, not tempo. That's his business. Frequency means." (Nathan).
"Oh yes. Frequency is set, give chance let the dough be. Okay?" (Dions).
"okay!" Daniel looked at the two of them in turn. Then nod while frowning.
After lunch, they returned to their respective poly.
I can't play a lot, okay I'll play less in the comics room. Set frequency? Radio frequency? Give me a chance to let the dough be? I never made a cake. Actually the weird ones are me what are they anyway? (Daniel).

Night
Karen was doing work in front of her laptop. Daniel just finished reading the comic. He sat down near Karen and hugged her.
"Still long?"
"A little bit more. Eh Niel, that feeling of being overtime is just me. You never overtime?"
"Check out, take care of the IGD."
"No, I mean, on a normal day, you never come home late because there's an operation or something like that, like in the movies."
"I'm a heart specialist, not a heart surgeon."
Daniel nodded.
Karen closed the laptop.
"Done?"
Karen nodded.
Not yet, less. Have pity on you over time. (Karen).
They spent the night together in fierce battle on the bed. It's an exciting struggle and well, it's noisy. The war was astonishing because both of them lost.

The next morning
Karen and Daniel had breakfast together as usual. Karen stood up to get a drink. Suddenly he felt pain in his stomach. He held her stomach and nodded.
"Why Ren?"
"Sick Niel, please!"
"You going to the toilet?"
"No, no. This is what hurts." Karen held the lower abdomen.
Daniel led Karen to sit down, but she was unable to move her legs because of the pain in her stomach. He leaned over and slumped to the floor.
Before long, the floor Karen occupied had blood spots.
"You're coming to the moon?"
"It seems yes, but never really hurt like this," replied Karen softly while enduring the pain.
Daniel picked up a change of clothes, painkillers and pads. But when she was born, Karen was not able to stand. The blood that comes out is getting more and more.
There was a lot of blood. (Daniel).
"I'm taking you to the hospital" Daniel said as he prepared to lift Karen's body.
"Just mens, no need. Shame." Karen insisted she did not want to go to the hospital. He was already on the floor. Just standing up, he couldn't.
"I guess not, it's bleeding." Daniel raised Karen's body that wasn't strong against it.
Daniel drove the lightning-fast vehicle to the hospital.
Nathan and Dion who were walking into the hospital gate were shocked by Daniel's speeding car.
"Why is Pretty Boy talking, he thinks it's a horse race track?" comment Dion.
"Bro, he's taking the bin to the IGD. Why tuh?" Nathan pulled Dion. They also ran to the IGD.
Daniel immediately put Karen to sleep in the gurney. The nurses took and handled Karen.
Dion and Nathan finally arrive after running from the entrance to IGD.
"Niel, don't come in. The one who handles the other, don't nanganin own wife!" Dion prevents Daniel from entering the handling room.
"Karen why Niel?" ask Nathan.
"Bloody."

Karen's been moved to the ward. Families gathered at the hospital to see how he was doing.
Mama Puri has shed tears. Although she does not know what happened to her son, the atmosphere of the hospital has traumatized her and remembers the first time when she lost her husband, Karen and Kendrik's father.
Arriving at the ward room, Mama Puri immediately scattered and hugged Karen who was lying down.
"Why are you Ren?" mama Puri asked with her crying voice.
"Quiet, Ma!" Karen stroked her mother's back.
After that, Mami Seli also hugged Karen. While Kendrik was near the red-haired woman.
After Mama Puri's crying subsided, Karen started telling her what happened to her.
"Ehm, Doctor Dion said I had a miscarriage."
Mami Seli and Mama Puri looked at each other and did not believe what was heard. Kendrik was surprised.
"Miscarriage? So you're pregnant? Why not take Mama?" mama Puri protest.
"Yes, Ren. Why don't you tell Mommy too." Mami Seli also protested against Karen.
Hearing that, inexplicably Karen felt very sad and upset. He looked at his two mothers in turn. The next second, his tears were unstoppable and came out of his nest.
The longer Karen's cries get louder. Mama Puri and Mami Seli were confused themselves.
Hearing Karen cry, Dion and Daniel enter the ward. Daniel calms Karen down, while Dion allows Mama Puri, Mami Seli and Kendrik to get out of there.
"Look Bu Puri, Aunt Seli, Ken, Karen herself is still in shock. She also did not know she was pregnant. Please avoid first wondering who cornered." Dion explained.
"I want to know the situation of my son, Doc," explained Mama Puri.
"Karen is fine, ma'am."
"Doctor Dion is how, miscarriage is said to be okay." Mami Seli suddenly sewot.
