CHAPTER: 06

.

Lying on the couch, both hands on her big belly, Sonia was spinning around. It looked like she had taken something that should not be taken. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car, she lifted her head and smiled, it was her husband, the one he had been waiting for. She clung to the couch and got up slowly. Despite the fatigue that weighed on her, she did everything slowly and opened the door to the two who had just arrived. She smiled and hugged her husband who smiled back.

Happy arrival my big darling. she exclaimed as she touched her son's head.

Thank you, Mom," he replied with a smile.

God-given, go change and I'll get you some food.

Mom, you don't want to give up. I've already told you I'm not a child anymore. I'm going to serve myself.

Your son is right, Sonia, let him.

All right, go ahead. And please be gentle.

I get it, Mom.

He hugged his parents and went to his room to take off his khaki uniform. In the living room, the atmosphere was still great, Alfred put his bag on the couch and sat down next to his wife.

How's the baby?

She's doing very well. How's work going?

Oh," he exclaimed, "I wanted to tell you something.

Is it about your job?

Yes, my job.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

This morning when I got to work, I called Mariano to tell him about the contract. I told him the program was postponed. Guess what he did.

___ He got weird?

Exactly, how did you guess?

Honey, I've always told you to be very careful with your employees, when I observe them, I sense that there's something paranormal about them. And it's not because they work with you that I'm saying this, but it's with all men. They are full of pride, and you too are very quick to trust humans. Human beings are not trustworthy, please stop trusting them.

Honey, I saw that you are right. I will make the effort to stop trusting completely.

If you...

Suddenly she started to vomit, it seemed that the pain she feared had just appeared, Alfred who did not understand anything, got up, took a glass of water and sent it to his wife. The latter took the water but the vomiting did not stop.

Honey, what's wrong?

She couldn't speak, she was just fingering her belly, Alfred quickly took his cell phone and informed the doctor.

God-given. he shouted

Yes, Daddy," he answered from the other side.

Please come and help me, your mother is having a breakdown.

What?

He quickly left his meal and ran to his father who had already taken his wife in his arms. God-given opened the living room door and Alfred went out. He also opened the back door of the car and the gate. Alfred quickly set his wife down and got out.

Dad, I'm coming with you.

No son, stay here.

I understand, Dad. Mom, please be strong. Hold on to her.

Alfred accelerated his car and left the house. God-given closed the door and turned inside, for this time he had no appetite, he put away what he was eating and went to sit in the yard while praying to his mother.

The road was flooded with cars, sitting in front of his steering wheel, Alfred was agitated, every time a car stopped in front of him, he honked like a madman. Sometimes he even insulted the drivers. When he arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he pressed the horn of his car, which alerted the nurses who came out with the rolling bed.

Alfred quickly opened the back door and the nurses took Sonia to the emergency room. Philip, the man in the box, quickly began the operation on Sonia who no longer had the strength to push.

Please, I want to see my son, I want to see God-given.

Calm down, Sonia.

Philip told my husband to send me God-given.

Philip winked at the nurse who gave her an injection that calmed her down completely. This time she went to sleep. After several minutes of surgery, Sonia gave birth to a beautiful girl who unfortunately did not survive.

Sonia just woke up, she looked into the crib where the lifeless body of her wife was administered, she looked away and started to cry. On the other side of the room, Alfred was still agitated, running to the nurses every time the door opened. Suddenly the doctor came out with a look on his face, he walked over to Alfred and touched his shoulder.

What's going on?

My wife lost the baby. I'm sorry.

Can I have it?

Yes, but talk to her calmly, for now, her skin is weak and she's at risk for a blood pressure drop.

I understand.

He went to his wife who couldn't stop crying. He went over to her and took her hand.

Honey, please don't cry.

Why? Why? Why, Alfred?

Calm down. God gave and God took away. You don't have to worry about us having any more children.

I'm not so sure.

Why aren't you sure, huh?

Where is God-given?

He's at home. I told him to check the house.

Why? I need to see my son please.

You'll see him as soon as we get home.

___ Honey take good care of him, tell him I love him and will always love him, also tell him to beware of men and those he will call friends. And don't forget that I love you and will always love you. Don't forget also our conversation today.

Why are you talking to me like this?

This is my last wish. To God!

Suddenly she calmed down, she wasn't breathing. Alfred quickly alerted the document that immediately alerted rushed to her. She put something on her chest but sorry her heart was not beating anymore.

I'm sorry, Mr. Alfred, your wife is dead.
