Sincerity of Love JONATHAN
214. Want a granddaughter
"But is right too." Mami Yeri nodded her husband's words, then pulled Syifa's hand. "Related, Fa. We go to the gynecologist, who knows the gender and number of grandchildren both Mami have seen now."
Syifa tried to hold her leg. "But, Mi, what about the condition of A—"
"Sorry ... Sir, Mom, Miss," interrupted the doctor quickly. And who was able to stop the footsteps of the two old men. "So you want to hear about Mr Joe's condition or not? How do you just want to leave?" ask her in wonder.
"Lho, it's not like I guessed it, Doc. If Joe is poisoned," said Papi Paul.
"I didn't say Mr. Joe was poisoned, sir." The doctor shook his head.
"Keep what dong, Doc?!" Mami Yeri seemed to be getting upset, because the doctor had been so long ago wanted to convey it. "Explain it directly. Let us all know."
"It's possible that Mr. Joe had a sympathetic pregnancy, Mom, or couvade syndrome" the doctor explained.
"What is a sympathetic pregnancy?" Papi Paul frowned. The sentence seemed foreign in his hearing, for he himself had never felt it.
"It's easier for us to say that Mr. Joe has a cravings, sir. And we ourselves know, cravings are not just about wanting something, but it could be because of nausea and vomiting."
"Lho, that's right, Doc." Papi Paul suddenly laughed. I don't know, he thinks it might be funny. "No way Joe cravings. He is pregnant with his wife. Weird to know, Doc."
"That's true, sir. Sympathetic pregnancy is usually experienced by the husband when the wife's pregnancy is in the first and third trimesters. Moreover, his wife had said that she was 3 months pregnant, so it could happen," explained the doctor.
"But I just heard .. if the husband can crav. Maybe the doctor's wrong." Papi Paul still doesn't believe it.
"If you don't believe my words ... You can ask directly to the doctor. Later Mr. Joe will follow along just as his wife wants to check the womb, sir," the doctor advised.
"Now Aanya's awake yet, Doc? Didn't he faint again?" ask Syifa curiously.
"Sir Joe is up from his stupor, miss." Doctor nodded. "But Mr. Joe should use a wheelchair first, if you want to take him to the womb room. For fear he fainted again."
"Need to be treated, Doc? The Joe?" asked Mami Yeri who came back looking worried. "If his condition is still weak ... Joe just take care, it's okay, Doc."
"Yes, Mom. Mr. Joe must be treated from tonight. Because he also needs to be infused so that his body is fit again."

After hearing the words from the doctor, they finally obeyed him.
Joe has now been taken by Papi Paul in a wheelchair, while Mami Yeri herself carries her child's infusion bag, because the man was directly infused.
Syifa was next to Joe, and they all headed to the obstetrician's room to register.
In addition to Papi Paul is not too sure if his son is experiencing a sympathetic pregnancy, he also wants to know very well with the condition of his future grandchild who is still in the stomach.
Joe nodded slowly. "Yes, Pi. But it might be different, Pi. Nothing, most importantly Syifa and her brother Robert are always healthy." He also smiled a faint smile, as Syifa clasped her hands.
"It also needs to be healthy. Me and his brother Robert certainly did not want to see Aa sick," Syifa said with a sad look, then rubbed her stomach.
"Later to heal, Fa. Just relax." Mami Yeri immediately grabbed her daughter-in-law's shoulder, then rubbed it slowly. Trying to calm him down.

After a few minutes of waiting in line, Syifa's name was called in. But thankfully, this time Mami Yeri and Papi Paul were allowed to come in as well.
That's all because the doctor in the ER had told the obstetrician, to check Joe's condition to make sure the two people who still look doubtful sayings.
"How, Doc?" papi Paul asked curiously, when he saw the short-haired female doctor who had finished checking Joe's condition.
"Sir Joe did have a sympathetic pregnancy, sir. That's right." The doctor nodded.
"So it's true, yes, what the Doctor in the ER said earlier." Now, Papi Paul and his wife believe. "But it can't be done, can it, Doc?" added later.
"What does it mean, sir?" The doctor looked at Papi Paul's face with a confused look. He did not seem to understand the old man's question.
"Joe no longer had a sympathetic pregnancy. There's a cure, right? Like being told to take medicine regularly or potions?"
"As far as I know there isn't, sir." The doctor shook his head. "The sympathetic pregnancy will relate to a pregnant wife. From the first and third semester. So here it could be if it is past the third semester ... Joe will recover from his sympathetic pregnancy, until his son is born. And do not need to be treated, because it will heal itself.'
"If for example he has nausea, vomiting and headaches again. But of course with the advice of doctors as well. Just like that" the doctor explained.
"Okay, Doc, thank you. Now I understand." Papi Paul nodded, then looked at his wife and the woman nodded her head.
"Now please USG my son-in-law, Doc. I want to see the gender and the content" said Mami Yeri.
She and her husband helped Joe get out of bed, then put him back in a wheelchair. After that, Syifa lay down. And now it's Syifa's turn to be examined.
"Lord Jesus .. May my grandson be twins. Four, three or two. And she's a girl because I really want to have a granddaughter." Mami Yeri has closed her eyes while continuing to say do'a.
Her husband beside her did the same.
"True Lord Jesus .. please present us twin grandchildren. Let me and my besan will not wrestle every time I ride it. Because my besan is annoying and selfish, he wants to win by himself. Never gave up on me even though he had something wrong," said Papi Paul, who at the end of his speech was grumbling, remembering his irony and behavior.
"Alhamdulillah, sir, Ma'am .. your granddaughter is a female. It's just ...." The doctor's words immediately hung just like that, and it made both of Joe's parents open their eyes out of curiosity.
"What's all, Doc?" ask the two while staring at the USG screen.
