SECOND LOVE
CHAPTER 96
There was no chat between the couple, on the way to the clinic where the obstetrician was practicing.
Even while waiting for the queue, Pandu chose to be busy with his cellphone rather than talking to Delvia.
The woman could only helplessly endure the pain in her heart.
She can what? Only able to extend patience, so as not to get out of control. Although it feels tired to hold on to the hope that the guide will change, but that is only his strength at this time, in order to be confident in facing a day that feels difficult to pass.
After waiting for about an hour, Delvia had a turn.
She walked in front of her husband. Spread a smile at the nurse who called her name a while ago, before entering the examination room where the obstetrician was waiting for her.
"How's Miss Via doing?" Ask the doctor is friendly.
Delvia smile.
"Okay, doctor." Slowly follow. He sat limped, while Pandu had already grabbed a chair beside him to sit on.
All of that did not escape the attention of the doctor who looks already aged.
Delvia handed over the patient's book containing her pregnancy history from the beginning.
"Mr Delvia, please lie down. We'll see the baby's sister first" the doctor said after a glimpse of Delvia's patient book.
As usual, there was always a longing that the woman felt, whenever the ultrasound device stuck to her stomach, and showed a tiny figure living in her womb.
The guide, who had been silent since then, took a look at the monitor screen that showed a curved shadow, with waves around it, which he did not understand.
Several times the obstetrician circled Delvia's stomach with the USG transducer, with furrowed eyebrows, making Delvia feel worried.
"What's the doc?" The question could not hold back his curiosity.
"Mmm did you feel any complaints these past few days?"
Delvia shook her head. He thought there was nothing to worry about with the content all this time.
However, he explained about the physical changes he experienced. Swollen feet, and often feel tingling and cramping, also about complaints that are easily tired even though not too often activity.
"Your baby's heart rate is unstable. It's not very active either, do you not feel the change?"
"My son is calm, doc. He rarely moves." Sahut Delvia slowly.
The doctor no longer continued his question.
The middle-aged man asked the nurse to clean the rest of the gel attached to Delvia's stomach.
After that Delvia is welcome to sit in front of the doctor's desk.
"Look Mom, your fetus's heartbeat is weak, and its movement is also slow,"
"Is that dangerous, doc?" Cut Pandu worry.
"If this goes on continuously, it can be dangerous, sir." Follow him on the Pandu.
"Have you been under stress lately, Mom?" Ask the doctor. Now his gaze towards Delvia, made the woman's face stiffen.
He and Pandu were both surprised to hear the Doctor's question. They can not give a definite answer, because it is difficult to explain what both experienced.
The man in a white coat also explains what dangers can occur, both in the mother and fetus in the womb, if the mother experiences stress during pregnancy.
"The feeling of a pregnant woman is very sensitive, and her mood is easily changed. It is very important to keep the mother-to-be happy in her pregnancy, because her physical and mental health conditions are very influential on the fetus they contain." Said the doctor
"What should I do, Doc, to make my son okay?" Delvia asked, while Pandu just kept quiet, without a word.
"Stay away from things that make you feel uncomfortable. Tell what complaints you feel, to the closest people. It can be a trusted husband or family. This can reduce the burden of the mind, which is very influential with your mood. Another important thing, keep the diet to stay balanced, so that the nutrients that enter the body of the little one are also fulfilled. Here I see your weight is decreasing." Say the doctor while checking the book containing the history of Delvia during her time as a patient of the doctor.
"It's rare, ma'am. Pregnant women will usually experience weight gain as the gestational age gets older. Although the decline is not too large, but this must be considered. Eat more fruits and vegetables, try not to eat fast food or half-cooked food." Obviously the doctor again.
"This is your USG result. The water is still quite thick, and not murky. Still good and safe I think. Here's the recipe, please make it at the pharmacy. Check here in two weeks, ma'am, don't forget to take care of your health. Father, please be more patient and pay attention to his wife yes ...." Advice from the senior doctor.
"Is there anything to ask again?" Ask the specialist.
Delvia didn't know what to ask, the woman just shook her head awkwardly at the doctor.
They finally came out with an erratic feeling.
After they finished getting the medicine, they walked to the car.
On the way back a quiet atmosphere accompanied the two. Until Pandu turned the car to a restaurant that was quite famous in the city, Delvia was silent, not intending to protest or ask her husband.
"Let's get down." Said Pandu, when the car engine was turned off.
"I'm not hungry, Pan. I'll wait in the car." Sahut Delvia, turn towards Pandu.
"We're not here for me, but for you. Do you remember the doctor just said? You lose weight, and it's not good for the baby in your belly. What the hell have you been eating all this time? Weight can go down. Don't I always transfer money for your needs and that baby? Is it less?" Cecar Pandu threw out his heart.
"You didn't forget, did you, too, what the doctor said earlier? Stress in pregnant women is very affecting their physical and psychological condition. Yes, you give me enough money. Even more than enough if for me to just eat at a restaurant like this every day. But I don't just need the money, Pan. This child is not enough just with the nutrients from the food I eat. Me and him need your figure, as a husband and father for him. It's more important than your money!" Decisive Delvia, could no longer hold herself back.
Many underestimate the psychological problems of pregnant women. Often couples or people around consider two-bodied women to be excessive in their behavior, when the woman cries or experiences mood swings.
Without them knowing, their treatment is very influential on the condition of pregnant women. Many cases of depression during pregnancy, which is not realized by the surrounding. And it can be bad for the mother and the baby she contains.
Pandu grunted in annoyance. He doesn't like to be scammed like this.
Although in his heart he justified Delvia's words, but his ego did not want to submit to that reality.
"You cornered me? You forgot all this ...."
"Who am I?!" Cut Delvia with keen staring eyes.
"I was wrong for pregnant with your child? Am I wrong for setting you up? You forget, it is often you who look for me whenever you want my body! Even you enjoy every unification of ours. Is it my fault? You're too hypocritical, Pan. Feel yourself as a victim, even though you are the main culprit. You who cannot resist lust, you who are unfaithful, you who are ...."
"Enough! Don't remind me of the stupidity of my past! Because of all this, I have to lose the woman I love." Sahut Pandu trying to resist emotions. He closed his eyes with a hunting breath.
Delvia, who had endured her heartache for a long time, could no longer hold back her anger.
The woman's tears flowed profusely, without her being able to bear. His eyes looked at the nilar of the beloved male at once who hurt him so deeply.
When asked if he regretted it, it was clear that Delvia regretted going so far. Having a loved one doesn't make him happy. For only their bodies are close together, while their souls are far apart.
Without saying much, Delvia got out of the car and ran away ignoring her huge belly. Pandu was surprised to see Delvia who had gone away, down the sidewalk which was quite crowded that night.
"Via ...!" Shouted Pandu, but ignored by Delvia. The man got out of the car, and widened his pace, trying to grab the body of Delvia he had just been able to reach, but something unexpected happened. Delvia's legs tripped, until her body fell.
"Nrank ...." Screeched at the woman, holding her tummy bumped against the pavement.
