Two Rings

Anna's Mother's Choice

Dion had returned to his home, his steps so lethargic. His face is crumpled, his eyes are sad.

Dion walked into his room a

as always, look for the person he always misses.

Dion stood in the doorway, looking at Melati who was smiling sweetly at him.

His face was so radiant, as if sadness had now slipped away from his heart.

"Will I hurt my wife? To share love only to gain another happiness."

A sigh of pain now cut Dion's heart.

Dion stepped in closer to his wife, the distance getting closer.

Right in front of Melati, Dion now embraces his wife's body.

Melati was surprised, what happened to her husband. It came and suddenly hugged her tightly, what a concussion made her like that.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Ask Melati.

Dion was still hugging his wife, his tears metes behind Melati's back.

"I'm fine, just want to be like this to you."

Jasmine was silent, she chose to return her husband's embrace.

Undeniably, Dion really wants to have a baby. Moreover, he thought of his mother, in the old age of the Mother, Dion wanted to give him happiness.

"What should I do, Mel?" Dion wondered.

💔💔💔

It's been a month since Dion visited his mother's house, he didn't tell her not to even ask her.

Dion is still unable to accept the request of his mother and father-in-law, especially he also does not know his feelings at this time.

Today Dion again did not visit his cafe, because today he had to return to take his wife to the obstetrician.

During the trip, Dion did not talk much at all. That made Melati confused, she did not dare to ask Dion directly.

"Honey, if today there's no progress on my program, I'd like to find another doctor."

Dion gasped, now he turned to his wife.

Melati turned her head, and noticed the expression shown by her husband.

"Why? Do you disagree?" Ask Melati.

Dion shook his head quickly, he had to come to his senses as soon as possible.

"Not so, baby. I mean, why did you have to move to the doctor?" Ask Dion.

Melati sighed, "her name is also effort, Mas. If there is no result in one place, who knows where else it works. I can't wait to get pregnant again" said Melati.

Dion could not chimed in his wife's words, he could only nod his head in accordance with the wife's wishes.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do?" Dion is looking to protect his big secret.

"Mas, what's wrong with you?" Ask Melati.

Dion turned back, and put on his flat face.

"I'm fine" he replied.

Melati seemed dissatisfied to receive an answer from her husband, she now ventured to express her feelings.

"Lately I've seen you moody, often" said Melati.

Dion was silent, "i'm fine, baby. Really," Dion replied, reassuring his wife.

"I don't know if you're lying or not, but I decided to believe in you, Mom." Jasmine chimed in with a weakened tone.

As if he had been struck by an arrow, his heart ached so much to hear his wife's words. Dion was really at war with his conscience, holding out not to show his contempt.

***

Dion and Melati arrived at the clinic, without waiting for them to enter the examination room.

"How are you, sir, Buk?" Ask the doctor kindly.

"All right, Doc." Melati replied with a smile.

"Where's healthy?" Ask the doctor.

For a moment the Doctor looked at Dion, and turned back to look at Melati.

"Everyone's pregnancy program is different, there is a fast process there is also a little slow."

"Then, I want to do a baby tube program as soon as possible, Doc."

Dion was surprised, by reflex he looked at his wife.

The doctor was in fact quite surprised by his patient's request, but he could still refrain from showing it.

"Baby tube program can be done as soon as possible, with a note that there is agreement between the mother and husband. Because back again, we doctors only as intermediaries, but still God will determine. Whether we are indeed trusted to get a baby back immediately or not" replied the doctor.

While breathing slowly, he also understood that. But what is wrong if he tries as much as possible, because he really wants to immediately have a baby.

"Without me asking for approval, my husband wouldn't mind either, would he?" Ask Melati to Dion.

Dion swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he could only nod his head without saying anything.

Dion and Melati return home. Melati was a little disappointed, because there were no signs that allowed her to get pregnant immediately.

As for Dion, his mind was now far away.

"Think, Yon. Find a way to let Melati not demand to join the tube baby program as soon as possible," Dion continues to look for ways.

"Here you go to the cafe or not, Mom?" Ask Melati.

Dion quickly replied, "I have to go to Mom's house."

Melati nodded, while Dion cursed himself who had originally spoken.

"Oh my God, why am I even answering that. So you really have to go to Mom's house, right."

***

Dion had been sitting on the sofa, exactly now he had reached his mother's house.

There was no conversation between the mother and the child, silent without a sound.

Until finally, it was the mother who started the conversation.

"Why is your face like that? Is there a problem?" Ask the Mother.

Right, thought Dion. A mother's instincts are never wrong, Dion just nodded his head.

"What problems? Can you tell?" Ask Anna's mother again.

"Dark-eyed..."

"Why your wife?" Ask Anna's mother.

"He's... Want to do a baby tube program," said Dion.

Anna's mother seemed unsurprised, the extent to which she and her ironwork had been guessed.

"Then, what can you do after this?" Ask Anna's mother.

Dion was stunned, he did not know what to do.

"If you don't approve of your mother and father-in-law's proposal, there are only two last paths. Be honest with your wife, and adopt a child." Anna's mother said.

Dion lifted his head, "but I want to have a child of my own flesh and blood."

"Yes, you marry again." Anna's mother made Dion return unable to dwell.

"Mom, getting married must have a candidate. I have absolutely no female friends. And one more thing, polygamy is a big responsibility, ma'am. I'm afraid I can't be fair" Dion replied.

"Mother has prepared the woman, and for matters of justice, I'm sure you can!" replied Anna's mother, leaving Dion flabbergasted.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, they again did not speak.

From the kitchen, came Rissa while bringing drinks for Mother and child.

Rissa crouched down, put a glass on the table.

"Rissa will be your second wife" Anna's mother said.

Dion was shocked, and so was Rissa. The tray that had been held in his hand, now fell down instantly.

Dion stared in disbelief at his mother, and Rissa seemed to ask for an explanation. The woman really doesn't know anything about sitting down.

Dion turned to look at Rissa, his sharp gaze making Rissa's hair goosebumps.

"What did Anna's mother say? Why was my name taken?" Rissa wondered in her mind, her hands and feet shaking violently.
