Not a Substitute

F4 Last Smile

“Son, my time is soon. I might not be able to give Brother a descendant. I can't be like any other woman who can serve you. Brother, don't waste your time with me. Sister should find another woman.” Sandra knows herself.

 “I love you. Let me stay close to you until the end of your life. You don't have to serve me. Let me serve you.”

Looking at Jamie's persistence, Sandra's down. But there is one more hurdle, which is Jamie's parents. Are they willing to accept the sick Sandra as their daughter-in-law.

Jamie brings Sandra home to meet her parents. At first, Jamie's parents were happy to hear her because they wanted to see Jamie get married and they wanted to be able to hold a grandchild.

But when they saw Sandra, they thought again. Sandra is sickly. Not to mention Sandra in a wheelchair, they changed.

Jamie can see the look of the face of dislike from both parents, especially from the mother. It is natural that every parent wants the best for their child.

Jamie drove Sandra home.

At Jamie's house.

“Jamie think again. Sandra is sickly. He won't be able to take care of you. You even have to take care of him. Break up with him now also before it's too late.” Jamie's mother disagrees.

“It's too late, Mom. Sandra is pregnant. Jamie should be in charge.” Jamie lied to him about his relationship with Sandra.

“What!? Are you sure you're his father?”

“Jamie sure.”

“Dad don't believe.” Jamie's father believes his son is a good boy and won't ruin a woman before his time comes. She educated Jamie as a child.

About his business that he had built for years just crumbled. Not to mention his lover who left him just like that when he had nothing left. And his intention to end life. Sandra's the one who helped him through it all.

Finally, the mother gave her blessing for their marriage. 

Sandra and Jamie are married in a simple ceremony due to Sandra's health condition. 

Sandra was often in and out of the hospital. Sometimes Sandra suddenly drops. And now the dilemma arises Sandra contains their baby.

“Mistress Sandra, doesn't Madam already know if Madam is pregnant, then Madam will die quickly.” The doctor tells Jamie to cancel her intention to have a child with Sandra if she wants Sandra to live longer.

There's no way I'm choosing one. Damnit. I should have put on the safety when we did. I'm really stupid. Jamie curses himself.

Sandra looked at Jamie's face. “I like Indomie, I like Ifumie too. But I prefer Jamie's sister. I just don't want you to forget. Every human being is destined to die. It's just that my time is faster than anything else. Don't ask me to drop it.” Sandra wants the child she gave birth to to be Jamie's reminder of her. 

Sandra's stomach is growing. They prepare a name for their baby. Nino. From the sound of ambulance sirens. Ni no ni no that Sandra often heard if she was in the hospital. 

Sandra's in the hospital again. As her stomach grew, her condition decreased. Sandra spent more time in the hospital.

When labor arrives. Doctors performed a caesarean section to remove Nino.

Sandra saw her son. He looked at Jamie with a smile. Sandra's last smile that Jamie will never forget.

End.
