That night, seven years ago, their smiles never faded from the lips of a couple aged over half a century. The wife's hand held a photograph of the USG of their first grandchild.
"Thank God our grandchildren are healthy, Pa. We can hold little Randy in a moment." The woman spoke with a radiant face. He also looked fondly at his son-in-law, the woman he thought had succeeded in turning his son into a more mature and wise one.
"Yes, Ma. Papa is so happy that our first grandson. We're still given a chance to see the grandchildren."
Papa and Mama Randy got married at a young age. Randy was born when they entered the four heads. Randy's parents thought they were going to have grandchildren at seventy. No one expected their son would marry young because of impregnating his lover.
When Randy gave the shocking news, the father who was already disappointed because Randy did not continue his studies increasingly felt he failed to educate his son. But now his bad feelings have changed to happy feelings. Moreover, Randy is now diligently helping in the store.
"From now on you can buy baby necessities. Mom would go buy it. I can't wait for the child to be born in two months ..," said Randy's mom.
Randy smiled at the happy faces of his parents. He and his wife had just revealed the gender of their child. The wife looked a little pale. "You tired? We're going home, right?"
The woman asked shook her head. "I'm a gapapa," she replied to her husband.
Mama Randy looked at her only son-in-law with a worried face. "You sick, Jeany? Why is your face pale? Vitamins that mama gave you routinely drink, right?"
"I'm fine, Ma. I drink vitamins regularly. Maybe it's just a tadpole" replied Jeany who didn't want to worry her in-laws.
The father-in-law then rebuked his son. "You don't make your wife tired, Ran. You know what Mom means, right?"
"Hehehe .... Just relax, Ma. My mother's granddaughter is safe." Randy replied with a friendly smile to his wife.
Jeany tried to return the smile, although she knew it must look strange because her face felt stiff. A large stone seemed to be squeezing his chest until he felt tight.
The middle-aged woman whose heart was blossoming because she would have a granddaughter continued to give encouragement. "Later to be born only surgery. If your baby breech do not force a normal birth. Mama also had surgery when she gave birth to your husband. Isn't that right, Pa?"
"Yes, Ma. Randy was breech, too?"
The smile on Randy's mom's face grew wider. "Yes. I think this descendant. Now our grandchildren are breech."
"This mama is fit. Where are the breech descendants?" Randy laughed at his mother's ridiculous speech.
The atmosphere at Randy's parents' house is always warm when talking about their future grandchildren who are being conceived by Jeany. But behind the happy laughter, the pregnant woman keeps the anxiety.
After eating at his parents' house, Randy takes his wife home to their own home they have lived in since the beginning of the marriage. He knew Jeany wouldn't be comfortable living in a house with her in-laws. Thankfully, Randy's parents were very understanding. They didn't mind the only child living apart from them.
Jeany enters the house and sits on the sofa with a broken heart. The happy face of Randy's parents continues to be imagined in his mind. Somehow their reaction when they know the happiness they feel is just pseudo.
"Jean, if you're tired of going to bed immediately."
Jeany kept daydreaming until she didn't realize Randy had been sitting next to her and fondly stroking her hair. Her husband always treated her gently. All the attention and affection of Randy made his guilt even greater. He looked at his husband with a serious face.
"Ran, we better tell the real story to your parents."
Randy's face was not surprised. "Aren't we talking about this? What else is being reported for? They are so happy now."
"But when should we lie to them, Ran? I'm afraid one day your parents know this child isn't their grandchild. They must be very sad ...." Jeany held her forehead and closed her eyes. His inner being was completely tormented from having to cover up more than one lie.
"It's forever, Jean."
Gasping, Jeany opened her eyes and looked at Randy. "For ever?"
"Yes." Yeah." Randy nodded. "Too with a true story even makes them sad, better forever they do not need to know. Let them spend the rest of their lives happily. That's why I didn't tell them about my illness."
A sobbing sound began to be heard from Jeany's lips. "It's all because of me .... You have to lie to your mom. Because of me you've been branded ugly. This child is not your son ...."
Randy hugged Jeany and rubbed her back gently. He always did it whenever the state of the heart of the wife was deteriorating as it is today, a thing that often happens since the beginning of their marriage.
Jeany shakes in Randy's arms. "I'm not feeling."
"That's it from now on don't tell me this kid isn't my son." Randy rubbed Jeany's stomach gently. "He's my son. Our son."
Randy's words touched Jeany's heart. His hands were stretched out to embrace the waist of the husband. "Thank you, Ran. Thank you for accepting what I believe in ...."
Randy slightly spaced between them in order to see Jeany's face clearly. "I am thankful that you want to be my wife. I'm the luckiest man in the world."
That's when Randy ventured to kiss his wife's lips. But only a few seconds did their lips touch. He immediately took it off. "Thank you. I have long wanted to do this," he said with a happy face.
"You're my husband, Ran. You have the right to do more."
"really? That's why I don't care anymore!"
***
The memory of that night made Jeany smile to herself. A conversation message on her phone has replayed her past memories with Randy. He gasped in shock as a pair of hands suddenly grabbed him from behind.
"What are you thinking? You didn't realize I was in the room?"
Jeany flipped her body and smiled back when she saw the husband's face. "This ... Monic just chatted. She said she's positively pregnant." She is now friends with her ex-husband's wife. They often exchange stories.
Kevin smiled happily. "So Randy's son will be the same age as our son" he said, kissing his wife's growing belly. "But how will their children be? Didn't you catch the virus?"
"And they're on drug therapy. The time it was tested also the virus was not detected again. Their children won't catch the virus."
"So that's it." Kevin was relieved to hear that.
"Have you slept?" Jeany asked back.
"Udah. Just read two fairy tales already overslept." Kevin answered his wife with a laugh.
"Lately he's been sleeping. Yesterday that too."
"Maybe he knew his mother wanted to make him a little sister" whispered Kevin with a mischievous smile.
"You want to keep making sister. It was already so." Jeany pretends to complain, but she doesn't refuse when her husband leads her to their big bed and begins to fuck her.
"So your wobble keeps you hooked" said Kevin after a long warm-up. He now lies down, giving Jeany a chance to take control of the game.
"I don't know how embarrassed you are to say that!" jeany answered with a blushing face.
"The hunted don't pretend to be ashamed."
Jeany held back her laughter as she took a sitting position on the thigh of the husband. He attached a large blanket to cover their innocent bodies from head to toe.
"Remember, Jean ..," Kevin protests to her.
"Don't worry!" Jeany replied before slowly moving her hips.
Kevin closed his eyes and sighed, enjoying what his wife was doing. He feels like the luckiest man in the world.
