The Wife Who Escaped

9# Punishment

It was a dark dawn everywhere. Kirana who was lying face down on the bed slowly opened her eyes.

The room was quiet, and I was alone in bed. I'm used to being left alone. Even if I spend the night with someone, I'm always alone when I open my eyes.

Kirana tries to get up, but she doesn't get enough energy. His entire body felt heavy, and he did not want to raise a hand.

'I'll get it done quickly.'

The relationship that started without foreplay last night in the living room continues in the bedroom. Contrary to what was said, it would resolve it quickly, as time went on, its intensity increased and its heat increased.

'I'm going crazy.'

There were times when the sound he exhaled along with his rough breathing, and the hot eyes glared at him in the air made one mistake the appearance.

Now I clearly realize that such trivial actions need not be interpreted.

It was then that Kirana who was lying helplessly got up to take a bath

'Czechk'

The bedroom door opened and Reynand entered. Reynand, whose hair was neatly combed back, wore a suit and tie. Reynand steps towards the bedside table on one side of the bedroom. Looks like he came to pick up the watch he left on the bedside table last night.

Kirana asked him.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Huh."

Reynand took the watch and placed it on her wrist.

Kirana looked blankly at him, then said.

“I'll go to the gynecologist tomorrow for a routine checkup.”

The soft voice continued in a silent atmosphere.

“If I don't get pregnant anymore, I'm thinking of trying a baby tube program."

It's been two years since we got married. I did as much as I could in two years. Now I have to find another way. It would be better for him like this than to continue sleeping without any results.

Kirana said to him who was standing there without saying a word.

“They say this is more likely than artificial insemination.”

"......"

“I just want you to give me time. The male side also needs to be checked and collected.”

Kirana looked at him as if waiting for an answer.

Reynand answered calmly.

"Do what you want."

Kirana swallowed those words in her heart and asked herself.

Do I want to get pregnant?I wanted.

‘There is only one condition for marriage that I will submit to you.'

'You should plan to get pregnant and have children at the same time after we get married.'

Even so, I was already convinced that I would be able to have this boy, even I had hopes of having a happy day like any other normal family.

But now I forgot what kind of child I had and for whom. I just knew that it was my job and all I had to do.

Wearing a watch and tidying up her clothes, Reynand faced towards Kirana. In contrast to his sweaty and disheveled appearance last night, It looked calm and dry.

"I'll be late today."

With one word left, Reynand left the room. Kirana looked at the door she had closed and left for a while, then moved to the bathroom.

****

The next afternoon, Kirana arrives at the obstetrics and gynecology clinic.

This is a large-scale hospital that also runs a fertility center, and I've been visiting it since I got married.

“Please wait in front of treatment room.”

Kirana sat in a long waiting chair. The figure of the woman sitting in front of me caught my attention. The woman's stomach was bulging, as if she had been pregnant for quite a while. And the one sitting next to her was a man who seemed to be her husband, and both of them smiled as they looked at the pregnancy notebook together.

Kirana looked at them for a long time. Suddenly, he thought about how it would be if the person sitting on the chair were himself and Reynand.

'Are we going to laugh like that?'

Everything about that woman is worth emulating. The maternity notebook contains photos of the fetus, a smile full of love, and the presence of someone beside you.

"......"

Then I heard the voice of someone beside me.

"I saw you here."

Kirana. Arin with a haughty expression stood where they met.

I know we went to the same obstetrics and gynaecology clinic, but today was the first time I met her in person. I don't hate it, but I don't like it very much either.

Kirana calmly greeted him.

"Hello."

Arin nodded his head slightly, and sat two distances away from Kirana. And the chair right next to Kirana she put down the luxurious handbag she was carrying.

Kirana felt a strange tension and discomfort flowing between the two.

Arin is an opponent that I can't seem to feel comfortable with no matter how many times I see him. From the first time I saw her, she didn't seem to like me.

He often makes comments and actions that seem to not appreciate me. In particular, when talking about my family in a crowded place, it gave the impression that I was not suitable to be Reynand's partner. Others will harass me only with such intensity that it is subtle.

On the one hand, I don't know why he hates me. Because her husband had to compete with Reynand. In addition, he and himself have the same goal. Somehow, whoever had a child first would win in this mud fight.

When I hope this awkward time will pass quickly

Arin's words broke the silence and Kirana looked at him.

"?"

“A story about Reynand.”

Kirana remembered what she said at the last family meeting.

'There's a rumor I heard about Reynand.'

'That's an outrageous rumor.... I'm not sure if I can say this.'

At that time, Arin obviously had a lot of things he wanted to say to Everyone. It was just that he could not convey it because Reynand suddenly interrupted.

“I was thinking of telling you or not, but I think Kirana should still know."

Arin hesitated for a moment, then brought his upper body closer to Kirana and said.

“A person I know saw Reynand enter a hotel near his office in the morning.”

Then, a small sound, like a whisper, reached Kirana's ears.

"With a very young woman."

Kirana's eyes widened. However, he immediately calmed back down and spoke calmly.

"Secretary.....Maybe one of Reynand's secretaries was a young woman. The secretary I've always met is very young, you might have mistaken her."

Arin who was examining his face, spoke in a clear tone.

"Why did you go to the hotel late at night with your secretary?"

"......"

“Isn't it a problem in itself if a secretary or anyone goes to a hotel with a young woman?”

Kirana could not think of anything to say, because she was not wrong.

Did Jin-wook really go to the hotel with someone?

Honestly, what kind of life did Reynand live outside the home?I don't know.

No, even though we live in one house but I don't know what she's thinking or planning.

Even if Reynand is dating a girl, there's no way for me to know. Like now, without a third person telling me, I would never know.

As my thoughts became complicated, I heard the nurse's voice.

“Mother Kirana, please enter the treatment room.”

Kirana got up from her seat. Leaving Arin, who was smiling faintly, she headed to the doctor's practice room.

****

Kirana was sitting in a chair at the doctor's office after the USG examination. Kirana had a somewhat thoughtful face.

That's because the story I heard from Arin kept ringing in my head.

'Someone I knew saw Reynand enter a hotel near his office in the morning. With a very young woman'

Who did you come in with?Is it the secretary you always meet? Or someone I don't know?Even as I sat in front of the doctor to hear the test results, my mind drifted elsewhere.

“First, see the USG image taken this time."

Kirana raised her head when she heard the doctor's voice. He was looking at the monitor with a serious face. It was then that Kirana realized that the doctor's expression was unusual. The doctor pointed to one side of the monitor and said.

"You see the black here? It's called sub mucosal fibroids."

"....."

"You've had submucosal fibroids before, but at that time the area occupied in the uterus was not very large. However, the results of this USG, its size and reach are increasing rapidly."

The musician with a confused expression asked.

“Why...why does it grow?”

“It is not clear what causes myomas to grow and develop, but hormones and various environmental factors may have an effect.”

"......"

“Depending on location and size, fibroids can complicate implantation or complicate pregnancy. As you can see, most of the endometrium has Spread sub mucosal Fibroids, so implantation seems difficult. Even if you do surgery The damage to the uterus is so severe that it does not increase the chances of getting pregnant.”

In an instant, darkness enveloped Kirana's face.

'It's going to be hard to do implants'

'Can't increase your chances of getting pregnant.'

I don't understand why the doctor said such horrible words. My mind went blank, and my eyes went dark. A trembling voice came out from between his bluish lips.

“Then what should I do?”

“Can be treated with drugs, but the purpose of drug therapy is to relieve symptoms and prevent the size getting bigger, so we can not expect a large effect. However, it is better to introduce the drug first."

“How about baby tube or artificial insemination?”

"Even if you try in vitro or artificial insemination, the area where the implantation is too small. It may be difficult, but you can try it if you want."

I felt his limbs turn cold. It felt like the whole blood in my body was drying up. I knew in my head what the doctor said, but my heart couldn't accept it. Eyes filled with despair and shock met the doctor.

"So......What did the doctor say.....?"

There was no sound coming from his lips. Kirana said the next words.

“Now... i....pregnant.... ..... ..... Is it difficult?"

The doctor sighed dryly for a moment, as if those words did not come out easily. After a moment of gasping for breath, the doctor opened his mouth with a heavy expression.

"Unfortunately, the chances of getting pregnant are very small."
