Never Leave You
In order to follow what Tristan suggested, Aurora tried almost every day to attract Mario's attention. From sending various kinds of cakes or snacks for the man to eat. Aurora even bothered to make her own food for him to serve as Mario's breakfast or lunch menu while in the office.
Sophia herself was surprised. Had he seen Aurora cooking before, let alone looking busy in the kitchen like now.
"What exactly are you doing, Aurora?" Sophia was surprised when this morning for the umpteenth time she saw Aurora who seemed busy cooking.
"I'm making Spaghetti Bolognaise with a scattering of cheese and minced meat, Sophia. Would you like one?" the woman offered without even turning her head.
"No ... no ... I don't really like Italian food. If you offer me Asian food, I definitely won't refuse."
"You suck. Even Tristan really likes European food."
"Yeah, I know," Sophia nodded. "But I don't really like to eat Italian food except for Lasagna. After all, I notice you are busy cooking every day. What is it for?"
Aurora finished her cooking first. Once finished and moved it into the food box, then he answered Sophia's curiosity.
"These days, I've been deliberately cooking myself to give to Mario so he can eat it for breakfast or lunch break."
"Have you reconciled with your husband?" asked Sophia curiously. Of course he would be happy if this really happened.
"Not yet," shook Aurora. "We haven't made up yet."
"So? How do you give this food? Are you sure Mario will definitely eat it?"
"I'm sure, Sophia," Aurora said afterward. "I asked Tristan's help to give this food to Mario. And Tristan said Mario always finished it."
Sophia nodded in understanding. She was sure her husband was not boasting. After all, he also believed that Mario would not refuse, let alone throw away the dish that Aurora had worked so hard to prepare. He knew very well that Mario was still ignorant because he wanted to teach Aurora a lesson.
"I pray Mario's heart melts quickly and forgives you soon, Aurora. I'm sure, soon you will be together."
Aurora smiled and nodded. Deep down, I also confirmed what Sophia said.
"I hope so too. Tristan said I have to be more patient. Maybe this is karma for what I did to Mario in the past. It doesn't matter if I do what he used to do. The important thing is that later he can forgive and accept me again as before."
"Okay, you just continue cooking. I want to call Tristan first."
"Oh, yes, Sophia," Aurora held back before she left. "Will you be accompanying me this afternoon to check the womb?"
This is the second time that Aurora has to go alone for an obstetric check-up. In fact, Mario has always accompanied her. In truth, Aurora could have gone off on her own. But, because I'm used to always being accompanied, it doesn't taste good either.
"Don't worry, I'll accompany you. Besides, I also have to make up for my calcium vitamin which is already depleted."
"Thank you very much, Sophia. Then I'll remind you later this afternoon."
***
Exactly at five o'clock in the afternoon, Aurora, who deliberately came home early, immediately approached Sophia and took the woman to the hospital. As soon as they arrived at their destination and because the queue number was the first, the nurses immediately invited both of them to enter Doctor Hansel's office.
"Good afternoon, Mrs. Aurora and Sophia. Welcome."
"Good afternoon too, doc," said the two together. While Sophia was sitting, Aurora was immediately led by doctor's assistant Hansel to immediately lie down on the patient's bed, then prepared to be examined.
"Excuse me to check the condition of Mrs. Aurora's womb first," permitted doctor Hansel and then began to direct the transcunder lever that he was holding to the skin surface of Aurora's stomach while looking at the picture of the fetus from behind the plasma screen of the ultrasound machine.
"Pregnancy has entered the age of 31 weeks. According to the ultrasound machine, now the baby in your stomach already weighs about 1.8 kilograms. Meanwhile, the length itself has reached about 42 centimeters from head to toe. The shape of the face is perfect. Even if you want view or save it as a keepsake, I can print it in 4D image form."
Aurora nodded in agreement. For the first time, he was enthusiastic to hear what doctor Hansel had to offer.
"Yes, doc. I'm curious, whose face does my baby look like."
Doctor Hansel smiled. Re-examine, then print the ultrasound results. Before giving it, he motioned for Aurora to get up and sit right next to Sophia.
"Here's an ultrasound picture," said Doctor Hansel when he was already sitting in his chair. "Your baby-to-be is beautiful. Just like the mother."
"Oh my god, Aurora is your baby girl?"
Aurora nodded. Previously, he already knew that the fetus in his stomach was female during a previous examination.
"It turns out that his face is very similar to Mario," Aurora muttered and then showed it to Sophia. "Let's see, Sophia. Who does my baby look more like?"
Sophia glanced at her then smiled amusedly.
"From the nose and the shape of the lips, it is very clear that they are very similar to Mario. Your daughter is really beautiful, Aurora. In the next examination, I also want to print the results of my examination like this. I wonder how Tristan will react when he sees a picture of his future child."
"You really should print it Sophia. It sure is nice and cute for a keepsake."
After discussing the matter of the ultrasound photo, Aurora returned to focusing on listening to doctor Hansel explaining the progress of her condition. Maybe about 40 minutes he consulted. After being satisfied asking questions, then the two decided to go home.
An hour later, it was Mario's turn to come. Knowing from Alexius that Aurora was having a pregnancy check-up today, he secretly chose to go to doctor Hansel so he could hear firsthand the progress of his wife and the baby.
"How is my wife's pregnancy progressing, doc?"
Doctor Hansel smiled amusedly. Previously, from Mario's story, he knew that his patient was currently involved in an argument. However, because he did not want to interfere, he chose to directly describe the results of the previous examination.
"Your wife's pregnancy has entered 31 weeks. The baby's condition is almost perfect. The baby's weight and height are also ideal. Even if in the near future your wife suddenly wants to give birth, the baby's organs are all ready."
"Then, what about my own wife, doc? Is there a problem?"
Doctor Hansel shook his head.
"So far nothing. The incident that happened the other day Mrs. Aurora did not disturb or affect her current condition. It's just that, I'm sure that in recent times your wife will definitely complain of being more tired or you can also feel fake contractions. My advice, start now prepare yourself for childbirth. The support of the closest people is also very much needed. It's a good idea to help your wife so she can manage stress so that her condition is stable until it's time to give birth."
Mario nodded in understanding. If you have this, it means that he must always be there and alert beside his wife.
"And this..." Doctor Hansel proffered. The middle-aged man handed him a white envelope, for Mario to check later. "I thought you would be interested in seeing the picture of the baby that your wife is currently carrying."
Mario then immediately opened the white envelope in his hand. Pulled out a sheet of photos and then gasped at what was printed on them.
"T-this ... is Aurora's ultrasound result?"
Doctor Hansel smiled and nodded.
"Congratulations, your future baby is female. From the picture alone, it looks very beautiful."
Mario was speechless. Too amazed by what he saw at this time. Her eyes filled with tears because she was moved to see clearly the results of the image of the future baby, who is now Aurora's womb in her stomach.
"I know that maybe you and your wife are having a problem right now. It's better to solve it right away. And accompany your wife right away. Because the husband's role in difficult times like the last trimester of pregnancy is very much needed. Be a husband who is alert. Because time cannot be repeated. , and than you regret it later."
