Womb of Titipan

Meet Grandma.

"Grandma, this is my wife. Her name is Naina." Aaric pointed at Naina who was standing beside him.

Naina smiled at her sweet smile, but it was still obvious that she was a little nervous despite trying to hide it.

The grandmother who had seen Naina, looked at her even more closely, from her face grandma knew that if Naina was young, her face looked innocent, not even a hint of makeup polish there, she said, her long black hair seemed to sparkle left unravelled just like that, her glowing white skin further refined the naturally radiated beauty.

Grandma's gaze turned to the clothes Naina wore, a long-sleeved maroon shirt combined with a mere black skirt of legs, a very simple look, a very simple look, making the grandmother finally believe all the words of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter if the woman in front of her is indeed not from a family equal to them, but somehow as if it was not a problem for her, grandma seems to like everything Naina has.

But of all, there is one thing that grandmother likes most about her, Naina who still looks nervous by continuing to lower her face looks very innocent and what it is.

"Come here." Grandma called Naina to approach her.

Naina walked slowly towards grandma.

"Sit here." Grandma asked Naina to sit next to her.

Naina sat opposite the grandmother who was sitting on the bed and leaned against the pile of pillows.

"Over these two months, where have you lived?"

"In the apartment," Naina replied softly, her face still looking down not daring to look at Grandma's face.

Grandma immediately saw Aaric.

"In the apartment?" ask grandma angrily.

Aaric nodded slowly.

"You let your pregnant wife live alone in the apartment?" grandma asked again, sounding angry.

Aaric.

"From now on, your wife has to stay here with us."

Naina looked shocked, as did Aaric.

Grandma saw Naina again.

"How many months have you been pregnant?" Grandma holds Naina's stomach.

Naina was silent for a moment.

"It's only been 2 Weeks nek." Naina replied very quietly.

Inwardly, Naina curses herself, remorseful for engaging in a conspiracy to deceive a sickly old grandmother. Had it not been for thinking about the fate of the parlour and her sisters, she definitely would not have wanted to get involved in this lie.

"Take care of your womb, as long as you know that grandma is waiting for the presence of this child."

Naina nodded her head.

"Aaric come here." Grandma called her granddaughter.

"Grandmother does not expect if you are good at finding a wife. Why do you think that if your grandmother and mother would reject a girl like her, if you knew that she liked her so much, she was a perfect fit to be your wife, you seemed so compatible."

Aaric smiled slightly.

"It has. Now take your wife to the room to rest, don't let her out of her way, not good for her little shit."

Naina got up from her seat, standing beside Aaric.

"Yes grandma. Excuse me first."

Grandma nodded then smiled happily.

"sorry. When is the insemination program done? I want to get pregnant soon, I can't keep lying to Grandma" asked Naina softly as Aaric brought her back to the room.

Winda and Aaric looked surprised to hear Naina's question, especially when they saw Naina crying sadly.

"Why are you crying?" Winda approached Naina.

"I'm sorry. I just can't keep lying to Grandma. He's very good." Naina is still sobbing.

Aaric still looked shocked, he stood looking at Naina who was crying, Aaric thought if the woman in front of him turned out to have a soft heart. Though he had only met once with grandma, but looked so caring and did not want to hurt by lying to him.

"Tomorrow the day after our schedule will do that insemination, we must be patient because the doctor knows when the best time to do it."

Naina nodded, she wiped the tears on her cheeks.

"Once again I'm sorry, suddenly crying like this in front of you."

Winda smiled.

"It's okay, we understand how you feel. We also feel very guilty for lying to grandma, but we're forced to do this all for her own good."

Aaric who had just fallen silent approached the two of them.

"Mothers. Grandma wanted to start when she lived here, Mom set everything up, I have to go back to the office now."

"Yes son. Naina will stay in the guest room."

"It's up to mom. I'll go first."

Aaric left the room.

"From now on you have to stay here, is that okay?"

Naina nodded.

"Yes." answered Naina.

Meanwhile.

Along the way Aaric seemed confused by the situation that was now out of his control, everything became chaotic because of which he said if he was married so that now the woman had to live with them.

Now Aaric can only hope that the insemination program will work, whether what happens if the program fails because they already told Grandma that the woman is pregnant now.

Next day.

Since yesterday Naina has been living in the mansion, all her clothes and belongings have been taken from the apartment where she lived before.

Early in the morning Naina came to grandma's room, she who felt very guilty about him so much as to help care for and take care of the sick grandmother.

"Let me just." Naina takes the plate in the hands of the nurse who will feed Grandma.

Naina sat in front of Grandma.

"Grandma want me to take a bribe?" asked Naina gently with a smile.

Grandma nodded with a smile.

"Of course son." replied the grandmother happily.

Finally Grandma ate by being fed by Naina.

"Why are you here so early in the morning? Are you done taking care of your husband who's leaving for work?" ask grandma while chewing food.

Naina gasps in shock, forgetting that her grandmother and granddaughter are married.

"It's gone, everything's done." Naina replied lying. In fact, since yesterday afternoon he had not met his grandson again.

Grandma smiled happily.

Naina and Grandma seem to be getting closer, after feeding the two chatting warmly, grandma asked a lot about him, especially about the orphanage where Naina grew up.

Aaric who always came to grandma's room every morning to say goodbye before leaving for work was surprised to see Naina who was already there, seemed to be chatting with Grandma who looked very happy.

"Your wife was here early in the morning to feed my grandmother, but she didn't have to do that because there were two nurses who took care of my grandmother" she said happily when Aaric came to her room.

"Thank God that you guys are familiar, I'm glad to see it" Aaric replied as he looked at Naina.

"Miss. I'll go first." Aaric approached the grandmother and kissed her forehead to say goodbye.

"Yes, son." Grandma rubbed gently on her grandson's shoulder.

Aaric seems to be leaving.

"Wait on! Didn't you say goodbye to your wife?" ask grandma wonder.

Aaric and Naina looked shocked.

"Oh yes, I forgot." replied Aaric stuttering as he approached Naina.

Aaric and Naina looked clumsy and misguided, they both looked confused as to what to do.

Grandma smiled at the two who were acting awkward, grandma thought that the two were still shy about showing their affection in front of others.

"Naina, just get your husband to the front." Grandma's Order.

"Good Nek." answered Naina quickly.

Aaric and Naina seemed relieved that they could finally escape this awkward situation. The two of them left the grandmother's room quickly.

Arriving outside the room, Aaric stopped his steps, he saw Naina behind him.

"Our relationship is just a charade so you should keep your distance from grandma, don't make her like you more because it will complicate our situation later."
