The day was approaching evening, but the rain that had been falling since morning showed no signs of stopping. Meanwhile, two men sitting across from each other remained silent, pondering many possibilities."Are you really sure about Kylie?" Zack asked when his high school friend planned to make Kylie his girlfriend, even his future wife."Absolutely, I'm sure. It feels like when I met her, I had already known her for a long time, and we clicked. But I wonder if Kylie feels the same way about me," Joe said, then filled with doubt."Well, I don't know. You have to find out for yourself. You're the guy, haha," Zack teased his troubled friend."The problem is, you know I've been close to women, Sa. If not for sure, I would have been married a long time ago," Joe complained again."Good luck, Bro," Zack said, patting his friend's back.Two days after his conversation with Zack, Joe decided to take a break from work and suddenly went to pick up Kylie at her house. The white car suddenly p
"We're going home now, dear," Zack coaxed when he saw Celine looking exhausted.Celine's face was pale, and cold sweat was flowing down her temples. Zack was deeply concerned about his wife's condition. Understandably, the doctor had warned Celine not to overexert herself during her current pregnancy. However, Celine was stubborn.When she heard about her younger sister's engagement plans, she insisted on helping Gina with the preparations. Despite warnings from both Gina and her family, Celine's stubbornness prevailed."Not now, dear. There are still some things that need to be taken care of," Celine gently refused."Sweetheart, your condition is not favorable. Just look at you, pale as a ghost," Zack replied with a hint of irritation.Sometimes, Zack felt that Celine was too stubborn. He recalled their past, where Celine often acted selfishly and chose to leave him. Even after marriage, Celine's attitude hadn't changed much; if anything, she had become even more stubborn."Don't spe
After arriving home, Celine was immediately instructed by her husband to rest. Celine, of course, couldn't refuse, especially since Zack always reminded her of the recent incident. And Celine didn't want that to happen again.Celine was trying to close her eyes when Zack bid her farewell. Her husband would soon find the honey-grilled chicken that Celine craved. Celine felt very fortunate; in Zack's silence, he continued to pay attention to Celine's condition and desires."Be careful, dear. I also ordered the warm tea from there. If possible, not too sweet," Celine said with a smile."Alright, dear. I'm going now. Don't move too much, okay? I don't want anything to happen to you again," Zack replied.Celine just nodded, indicating that she understood what her husband had conveyed. Zack immediately kissed Celine's forehead and left.After Zack left, Celine felt very bored. She couldn't sleep again because she had rested all day at the clinic. Zack's wife then rose from her resting place
Only a drop of tear fell from the corner of Celine's eye, but it could destroy all the feelings that existed in Zack. The reason, of course, was that he couldn't bear to see Celine cry. Zack then immediately approached Celine, wiped the tears that fell on her cheeks, and kissed his wife's forehead affectionately."We're leaving now," Zack said without thinking.Let him give in again for the sake of his wife's happiness. Checking the condition of the car could be done while walking later. For shop business and permission to the family, couldn't it be obtained on the way and taken care of over the phone?Zack again had to be strong, steadfast, and also give in. He couldn't afford to see Celine's tears falling because of him. In the case that happened just now, Zack thought he was the one who had made Celine cry. When, in fact, Celine was crying because of her thoughts. However, Celine also accepted her husband's invitation. The woman who was pregnant felt delighted."But, he said earlie
In the past few days, Zack has appeared highly exhausted. He has been filling in for his wife, shuttling back and forth for Kylie and Gina's wedding preparations. Zack has taken over his wife's role in assisting with the preparations for the ceremony at his in-laws' house. After that, he moved on to his cousin Kylie's house to help with catering and other arrangements.Zack's actions are not without reason. He certainly doesn't want to worry Celine by being unable to assist in preparing for these critical events. Despite being aware of Celine's feelings, he feels compelled to ensure the well-being of his pregnant wife.Zack is determined to prevent a repeat of the near tragedy that almost claimed the lives of his wife and unborn child. However, the consequence is that Zack's body feels exhausted. Zack acknowledges that he has overexerted himself in the past few days but doesn't want to cause any concern for Celine. So, as much as possible, Zack maintains a usual demeanor in front of h
Looking at Celine peacefully asleep tugged at Zack's heart. How could it not? This time, regret overwhelmed Zack multiple times more than before. He felt responsible for what had happened to his wife now due to his restriction on Celine from leaving the house to help with the wedding preparations for Kylie and Gina.Celine likely felt stressed and pressured for not being able to contribute anything to her beloved and closest people. If only time could be turned back, Zack would surely not let his wife go through such a distressing situation.Zack truly regretted it; he never expected that his harshness and selfishness towards Celine would end up so tragically. Fortunately, the safety of his wife remained under God's protection, allowing both Celine and the unborn baby to endure until now.Lost in thought, Zack suddenly heard a commotion from outside the room where Celine was being treated. He quickly got up and tried to peek to see what was happening. However, Zack was shocked when hi
Finally, after several discussions between Celine and Zack and their Doctor, who has been monitoring Celine's pregnancy, the couple decided to follow the obstetrician's advice.They chose the option of surgery for the well-being of both the mother and the baby. Before the scheduled day of the operation, the Doctor had a private conversation, especially with Zack. The Doctor explained many things to Celine's husband. The most important thing when a wife undergoes a cesarean section is the support from her loved ones, especially from her husband."Don't think that a cesarean section is easy, sir. There will be a lot of pressure and postoperative care. That's what you, Zack, need to pay attention to," said the Doctor, looking directly at Zack."What do you mean, Doctor? Isn't it easier to have a cesarean section because it doesn't require much effort? Just anesthesia, then a cut, the abdomen is opened, and the baby is taken out?" Zack asked, naive and innocent, as he was unfamiliar with
Celine began to feel bored just sitting at home. All because she was in the post-surgery recovery period. Although Celine was grateful to have gone through it all and finally met her beautiful baby, sometimes, when alone, she would curse her fate.She felt utterly useless as a woman. She had only been a burden to Zack. Occasionally, Celine reminisced about her past, about her arrogance in overcoming everything, especially when facing problems with Zack. Celine never wanted to hear any reasons. She felt that everything she did was right.Celine also remembered how she had escaped to the village, to her grandmother's house, to avoid Zack. But unexpectedly, he chased and searched for her there. When he arrived, Zack had to face bitter reality. Celine sent him back, and with deep disappointment, Zack left Celine there. However, true love and Zack's persistence managed to melt Celine's pride and selfishness. Also, Celine's entire family supported her relationship with Zack.Celine's disapp
