The Wife of the King's Pay

Chapter 76 The Fruit of My Heart

The nausea and dizziness made Cleantha reluctant to touch her breakfast. He prefers to drink warm tea to calm his still turbulent stomach.

"Mrs, is the breakfast not good? Why don't you eat? If your stomach is empty, you can vomit again" says Narti worried.

"I just don't have any taste in seeing this fried rice, Ma'am. I want to eat something sweet" Cleantha said.

Looking at the food presented before her, Cleantha felt an unusual urge within her.

He just wanted another food that was not on the tray.

"Madam, then I will prepare a sweet meal for Madam. Madam want toast with chocolate jam or pancakes with maple sauce?" tanya Narti got a brilliant idea.

Cleantha's eyes immediately sparkled hearing the name of the food that Narti had just mentioned.

"I want both, Ma'am."

"Okay, ma'am, I'll tell you to the kitchen. But Madam should try to eat some mouthfuls first so that the Madam's stomach is not empty. If Madam's stomach isn't filled with food, she can vomit again."

"Yes, Miss Narti, thank you."

After Narti came out, the King stepped into Cleantha's room.

He saw Cleantha looking lazy and not tasteful to finish her food.

"Are you still nauseous?" asked the King to look at Cleantha's beautiful face.

"Still, Sir."

The king moved closer and sat on the edge of the bed. He stretched out his hand to touch his wife's forehead. Determine if Cleantha has a fever or not.

"You don't have a fever. Did you forget to eat at last night's party? If I knew you were assigned to the reception, I wouldn't allow it" said the King, sounding annoyed.

"You should eat anyway. Let me bribe you."

"Tu...an, would you like to feed me?" cleantha asked in disbelief.

Without answering Cleantha's doubts, the King began to scoop the fried rice carefully into Cleantha's mouth.

This King's actions touched the bottom of Cleantha's heart. It is unexpected that the CEO of Adhiyaksa Group who is arrogant and powerful, is willing to do something trivial for him.

"It turns out Lord King has changed. He is now understanding and patient. Maybe I should give a second chance * for my wedding. I need not fear the judgment of others. Now it's time I think of my happiness*,"

cleantha.

"Master," said Cleantha looking at the King.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat anymore?" the king looked back at Cleantha.

"No, I want to tell you about my decision."

Suddenly the door of the room opened. Cleantha stopped her sentence because she saw that Narti was in a hurry. The waiter brought a tray of food that he ordered.

Narti was surprised to see the King in the room with Cleantha. Moreover, his master was feeding his wife with affection.

"Ma.af, Sir. I didn't know you were here. I should have knocked on the door first," Narti stammered.

"It's okay" replied the king.

"Madam, here's the toast and pancakes that Madam asked for. May the Madam like it. Excuse me" said Narti hurriedly. He does not want to be a mosquito repellent that interferes with the intimacy of the couple.

"Sir, I don't want to eat fried rice anymore. I want to eat toast."

Eagerly, Cleantha tasted the food. His expression seemed to be as joyful as a child enjoying a gulali candy.

The king smiled to himself looking at Cleantha's adorable behavior.

Just now that his wife was reluctant to touch the food, now his attitude turned a hundred and eighty degrees. Cleantha even consumed both of those sweet foods simultaneously.

Seeing Cleantha's miraculous behavior, the King recalled the memories of his past with Zevira.

At that time they were a pair of newlyweds. Zevira suddenly turned spoiled, often vomiting and often asked for sweet food to him. She was pregnant with their first daughter, Ivyna.

"Is it possible that Cleantha is pregnant? If she was pregnant with my son, I would be very happy. I'll make sure of this,"

thought the King expectantly.

"Clea, if your condition is better, take a shower and get ready. We're going to obgyn's doctor. I'll be in your room in an hour" said the King suddenly.

Cleantha furrowed both her brows.

Obgyn doctors are doctors who specifically deal with pregnant women and childbirth. Then why would the King want to check himself to an obgyn doctor, not to a regular general practitioner. What an absurd decision.

...****************...

The king hugged Cleantha's shoulder and took her inside the hospital's VIP waiting room. Luckily on weekends there are obstetricians who practice, although the number of patients is limited.

The King's warm treatment made Cleantha flowery. Now he was more convinced that the King loved him, even though the man did not express it directly.

Upon entering the waiting room, Cleantha saw four pairs of married couples sitting side by side. Two women in between had their stomachs swollen. Signifies that they will soon deliver a baby to the world.

Their husband seemed so attentive. Some are even massaging his wife's hands to reduce pain.

The sight made Cleantha envious. She also wants to be treated as sweet as that by the King if she is pregnant later.

But Cleantha hurriedly brushed off her wish. He was worried about imagining the presence of children in his marriage.

At her age, she felt unable to be a mother. His own life is still a mess. He also had a great responsibility to take care of his father.

While at the nurse's desk, the King re-registered Cleantha to conduct an examination with Kartika's doctor.

"We'll check your weight and blood pressure first, ma'am."

"Madam, please wait a minute. Once the patient inside is out, the lady can come in" the nurse said.

Due to being a VIP-only patient, Cleantha did not need to queue for long like the other patients.

"Clea, do you want to drink or eat something?" the King was worried about Cleantha.

"No, Mister. I was still full from having too much breakfast earlier," Cleantha replied leaning her head against the back of the chair.

"If you're dizzy or nauseous, just tell me."

"Yes, Sir."

Not long after, the nurse came to call Cleantha.

"Mrs Cleantha Adhiyaksa, let's go in. Doctor Kartika is waiting" said the nurse, letting Cleantha and the king follow her.

When Cleantha entered, Kartika's doctor greeted her kindly.

"Good morning, Mr and Mrs Adhiyaksa. Please sit down."

"Good morning, doctor," replied the King.

Doctor Kartika looked at Cleantha with a smile.

"Mother, what complaints?"

"I've been vomiting since yesterday. My head is also dizzy and my body is easily tired" Cleantha lamented.

"I want to see if my wife is pregnant, Doc" the king said bluntly.

Smile on the lips of the doctor Kartika.

"Well, sir, we're gonna do USG on Ms. Cleantha."

Doctor Kartika turned to look at Cleantha.

"Mother Cleantha, when was the last time you came to the moon?"

Cleantha was stunned to hear Kartika's doctor's question. He realized that this month he had not experienced menstruation at all..He should have realized the peculiarity early and made a precaution.

"Look at me about three months ago, Doctor," Cleantha replied.

"Okay, please lie down. We're going to do a transvaginal ultrasound to confirm the mother's pregnancy" Kartika said.

The nurse immediately came forward to help Cleantha lie down. While the Kartika doctor prepares the ultrasound device that will be used.

"Mother, don't strain, just relax so as not to hurt. I'm going to put the Ultrasound tool in slowly."

Cleantha shuddered in horror when she saw a foreign object about to be inserted under her sensitive body. Understandably, this was his first experience.

Cleantha looked at the King, as if asking for help from her husband.

Seeing Cleantha's terrified look on the face, the King approached to offer support.

"Calm down, Clea, it's just for a second. I'm here with you."

"Yes, Mom, stay relaxed."

Dr. Kartika also inserted an ultrasound device to check Cleantha's pregnancy.

Cleantha's body wriggled, enduring the pain. But there is no choice but to undergo the examination procedure.

"Gee, congratulations Mommy and Dad. Mother's gestational age is five weeks. Here's where the fetus is."

Cleantha looked at the monitor screen with a hilarious feeling. He wanted to shed tears. It was unexpected that now a life was developing in her womb.

Although he was not mentally ready, he was still grateful for the gift given by the Almighty.

The King's eyes sparkled happily, as he stared at the future baby Cleantha had conceived. For a long time he had not experienced such a wonderful feeling. The last time he felt it was six years ago when Ivyna was coming to the world.

Now he will get the miracle he has long awaited from Cleantha. And for sure this little baby will be the unifier of their relationship.

After Kartika's doctor removed her ultrasound, the nurse helped Cleantha to wake up.

"Sir, I'm going to give folic acid and calcium supplements to Ms. Cleantha. Since Cleantha's mother's blood pressure is low, I'll also give her extra vitamins."

While writing down the prescription, Kartika's doctor gave Cleantha advice.

"Mother, from now on should get enough rest. Eat nutritious food and avoid stress."

"Alright, Doc," Cleantha replied nodding.

"Father, here's the prescription" said Kartika doctor handed a rectangular white sheet of paper to the King.

"Thank you, Doctor. Excuse me" said the King.

The king took Cleantha's hand out of the examination room. They went to the medicine department and rushed out of the hospital.

"Clea, you have to rest a lot. Starting tomorrow Monday, you can't work anymore. Just stay home" said the king after they were in the car.

"But sir, I need a job to..."

"Just follow my words. I will meet all your needs and your family. Once we get home, I'll call Mr. Mateo to cancel our divorce. We must not part because we will have children" said the King.

The King's voice began to soften. Suddenly he kissed Cleantha.

"Clea, thank you for giving me this happiness" said the King.
