Two Rings

Requests That Don't Make Sense

The day that Melati was waiting for now arrived, she eagerly went with Dion to the obstetrician.

Melati's face look brighter, she also re-polished her face with thin makeup.

Dion was happy to see his wife cheerfully again, but in his heart the guilt he could not be denied.

"Are you ready?" Ask Dion.

Melati nodded vigorously, and held her husband's hand.

"We're leaving now, Mas."

Dion smiled and nodded his head.

They walked to the car, and after that Dion drove his vehicle to the destination.

Melati was heard humming, she followed the lyrics of the song played by Dion through the audio player of his car.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry. I'm ready to take the sin of lying to my wife, but what's wrong with lying for good." Dion's mind raged.

***

Dion and Melati arrived at the place they were headed, Melati still with her spirit immediately went down and entered the place.

Dion caught up with his wife who had entered first, his wife was really very enthusiastic.

"Mas, are we in line?" Ask Melati.

"Yes, just for a second." Dion answered, and was nodded by Melati.

About half an hour, it was Melati's turn and Dion entered the room.

"Good morning, Doc." Melati greeted me very kindly.

"Morning, Mister, Ma." The doctor replied to Melati's greeting was no less friendly, her gaze now collided with Dion who was full of meaning.

"Please sit down" asked the Doctor.

Melati nodded, and sat her body on the chair.

"Dok, I want a pregnancy program." Jasmine precedes the conversation.

The doctor smiled, and understood Melati's intentions. Dion could only be silent, he followed every series that the Doctor would give him.

"Let's lie there, Mom. Let me check" the doctor asked.

Melati according to, he walked towards the bed that had been provided. Lay her body on the bed, and be ready for the examination.

With proper procedures, the doctor does his work carefully.

Although in his heart, he also felt compassion for the condition of his patients. For the first time, he had to lie about the patient's reality.

"Done, Mom. You can sit back, "the doctor's instructions.

Melati returned according, and sat in the chair before.

"Where, Doc?" Ask with enthusiasm.

The doctor put on his usual face, he tried to be as reasonable as possible.

"Mom's condition is healthy, and should be plenty of rest. I will give vitamins to maintain immunity" said the doctor.

Melati nodded, and Dion breathed out his leg.

"So I can get pregnant again?" Ask Melati.

The question that made Dion again tight, his breathing seemed to be stifled.

The doctor was silent for a moment, and smiled faintly.

"If God says you're going to have a child, you're going to have one soon. We can only try and pray" replied the Doctor trying to encourage Melati.

"Ah, okay, Doc. I will try as hard as possible to get back pregnant immediately" Melati replied with confidence.

Hearing those words, Dion's heart was so sliced. It was cruel what he had done to his wife, but he also did not have the courage to tell the truth.

Melati and Dion returned home, it feels like the hope of Melati is very big to return to have a baby.

"Mas, are we going straight home?" Ask Melati.

Dion glanced, "yes, why?" Ask Dion.

Dion looked back at the deserted road, making him drive unhindered.

"Oh yeah, you're done straight to Mom's house, yeah. Are you coming or not?" Ask Dion.

Jasmine thought for a moment, she was tired of being at home but she was also less interested in traveling to her in-laws' house.

"I'm at home, huh. Gapapa, right?" Ask Melati.

Dion nodded slowly, in fact he already knew his wife's answer. That disappointed Dion a little, because his desire to see his wife and mother familiar was very difficult.

"Next time you have to visit mom's house, yeah. It's not nice if you keep telling us, either" Pinta Dion tried to use the language as gently as possible.

Melati nodded, she also realized that her husband wanted more. He did not dislike his mother-in-law, but the question of the in-laws asking a grandson always made him sad.

It makes Melati reluctant to often meet with her in-laws.

***

Dion immediately restarts his car, after driving his wife home.

He has promised to visit his mother more often, he also feels worried about the condition of the mother who is getting older.

Before arriving at his mother's house, Dion took the time to buy fruit hands. He bought his mother's favorite food.

Arriving there, Dion was astonished by the existence of a car that was familiar to him.

"Why are Mom and Dad's cars here?" Asked Dion in surprise.

Dion immediately walked into the house, and sure enough. Both of Melati's parents are visiting her mother's residence.

"Assalamallaikum, ma'am." Dion greets.

"Wa'allaikumsalam," said the mother, also Dion's second-in-law.

"Mom and Dad since when are you here?" Ask Dion.

"It's been a long time, about an hour. You're here too, where's Melati?" Ask her mother-in-law.

"Ah, yes. I want to see Mom. Melati's at home, she's resting." Dion explained.

"Oh so. Oh yeah, you happen to be here we also have something to talk to you about." Melati's mother seems to be starting her conversation with Dion.

"What's up, Mom?" Asked Dion with curiosity.

At first glance Ibu Melati glanced at her husband as well as the iron, and after getting the nod as approval of Mother Melati continued her intention.

"Look, this is about you and Melati."

"About Me and Melati? Why is it, Mom?" Dion asked increasingly.

Melati's mother was seen regulating her breathing, Melati's father also seemed to give encouragement to his wife to continue her words.

"As we know, Melati won't be able to have children. But we also want to have a grandson, and we've made a deal." Melati's mother stopped her words again.

"What deal, Mom, Dad,?" Dion's question was still astonished.

"We agreed to allow you to marry another woman" said Ms. Melati.

Dion was surprised to hear his mother-in-law's words, his mind could not accept what the parents were thinking.

"Married another woman? You mean, you're gonna ask me to remarry and beat up Melati? Nah! I would never do that!" Reject Dion firmly.

"Yon, listen to our explanation first. All of this is for your own good, for Melati's good, and for the good of all." Anna's mother interjected and tried to calm her son.

"Other explanation, Mom? Obviously you want me to be polygamous" Dion said in a loud tone.

"Dion, don't you want to have offspring? Don't you want to play with your son? Don't you want to decorate your wife's days with a little angel?" Ask Anna's mother.

Dion was silent, indeed for the time being he could not accept the request of his biological mother and in-laws.

"Dion, you can hide your second marriage from Melati, but until your second wife gives birth. After that you can tell your real wife, with a child, Melati will gradually be able to accept. You can have a child of your own flesh and blood, without having to adopt." Ibu Melati added.

"Your request is completely unreasonable!"

Dion squeezed his hair violently, what a foolish request had been made by his parents and in-laws.

Dion did not answer, he chose to leave and leave them.
