A Life Decision After two years of relationship, Hideki and Kyoko finally stepped into a local church for their marriage. It was a memorable day for them as they had completed part of their life’s ‘mission’. After the marriage, they went to Hawaii for honeymoon and had their ‘make out’ over there. It was a wonderful holiday experiences they ever had since they met each other. A few months later, good news came to them. Kyoko was pregnant! They discovered it when Kyoko kept vomiting but nothing came out in the end. Moreover, it happened several times on a day and so Hideki suspected that she might be pregnant. Thus, he bought Kyoko to a doctor. As expected, he was going to be father soon! It was a great day for both of them as they never thought they could be parents so soon. Since then, every month, both of them went for check-ups together at a local hospital. Every time they would go there together without fail, as Hideki does not allow Kyoko to go there by herself because he scared something bad would happen to her. Also, if Hideki could not make it on any appointment day, they would change the date to a later day too. It was so sweet of them. However, things would not always go smoothly for them. On the fourth month, they followed their scheduled check-up punctually. On that day, both of them were excited because the gynecologist could reveal their baby’s gender to them through a process of scanning. After spending a few minutes of scanning, the gynecologist finally told them the news that they had been waiting for: it was a baby girl. Though they were a little disappointed, but they were still happy with the news they received. Initially, they hoped for a baby boy. However, it does not matter anymore because a baby girl was already on the way to them. “Doctor, how is the baby’s health? Is she doing good inside?” Kyoko asked the gynecologist. “Don’t worry, she is doing fine inside. Just remember to provide her with more nutrients by eating properly.” The gynecologist replied her with a smile. “Okay, doctor. I will remember to feed my wife with more nutritious foods.” Hideki said to the gynecologist, with a happy expression. “Don’t feed me too much, or else I might become fatter!” Kyoko said in an angry manner to her husband. Then, all of them, including the gynecologist, burst into laughter. After laughing for awhile, the gynecologist asked Kyoko to wait outside the room, at the payment counter there, as she wanted to talk to Hideki for a moment. “Is there anything important to talk about? Or is there something I shouldn’t know about, doctor?” Kyoko asked the gynecologist, with a suspicious look. “Don’t think too much, Kyoko. I just wanted to tell your husband about the list of foods that you should not eat and also reveal a secret recipe of mine. Nothing much actually… However, it won’t be a secret anymore since you are in here listening to our conversation.” the gynecologist answered Kyoko, with a big smile on her face. “Oh I see…A secret recipe? Well, I love surprises anyway and hope that Hideki will cook something delicious for me this time round! Alright, I will wait at the payment counter. Do end the conversation quick; don’t keep me waiting too long!” Kyoko said to Hideki and the gynecologist in an excited manner. “Okay, don’t leave until we meet, Kyoko!” Hideki said to Kyoko before she leaves the room. After Kyoko leave the room, the gynecologist looked serious all of the sudden and Hideki could sense her seriousness too. The whole room was so quiet that it made Hideki stiffed up. “Mr. Yamato, I have a bad news for you and your wife actually….” the gynecologist said to Hideki in a low voice. “Yes, what is the news regarding to….?” replied Hideki, in a nervous voice. “It is regarding to your baby. From the previous scan we just had, it seem that your baby was diagnosed with a disease called ‘Achondroplasia’. In short, it is known as dwarfism.” the gynecologist said sadly. “What? What did you mean?! Dwarfism…As in she can’t grow up like normal kids?!” Hideki said with a disbelief look. The gynecologist nodded her head and said, “Yes, and there is something I want you and your wife to discuss about it. I want to know if both of you still want this child or not because there is a possibility that this child might not survive after birth.” “What the…? Why did this happen?!” Hideki shouted angrily while he stood up from his seat and was going to punch the gynecologist’s face, but resisted his anger in the end as he knew that it was not the gynecologist’s fault. It was nobody’s faults. All was fated, destined. “So what should I do now? I don’t think Kyoko will accept this.” Hideki said with a worried voice, looking sad. “I think you should tell Kyoko about it in a calm manner. Don’t let her get too agitated, as it might affect the baby too.” the gynecologist said with a scared look. “Okay, I am sorry for scaring you…” said Hideki sadly, when he saw the gynecologist’s scared face. After saying his last word, Hideki had prepared to leave the room but was stopped by the gynecologist when he had reached the door. “Oh yeah, Hideki, don’t let your wife eat too much of pineapples and watermelons. Also, the secret recipe is to brew bird nest for her.” said the gynecologist. Hideki nodded his head once and went out of the room. When he walked towards the payment counter, he saw Kyoko waving to him happily. He smiled to her and curved his hand over her waist when she stood up from her seat. “Let’s go.” Hideki said calmly. Actually, deep down in his heart, Hideki was hurt badly. He never thought he would face such a difficult decision in his life. Even though his life was full of ups and downs, he never faced any decision regarding to a life. ‘What should I do now? I should tell about it to Kyoko now or…’ Hideki thought as he open the car’s door for Kyoko. “What is the matter? I can see you are troubling over something.” Kyoko asked him as she went into the car, with a worried voice. “Nothing much actually…I am just thinking about my work.” Hideki lied to her and closed the car’s door gently. Seeing Hideki does not wanted to tell her the truth, Kyoko decided not to ask anymore. From the hospital, Hideki drove Kyoko back into their home and went to prepare their dinner after that. It was evening at that time, time for dinner. After their dinner, Hideki cleared and washed the plates while Kyoko was watching the television from the sofa. “Kyoko, I have something to tell you. Promise me you won’t get mad or do anything silly after you heard what I wanted to say.” Hideki said, while he was wiping his wet hands on his apron and walking towards Kyoko. “Hmm…Can you wait until this drama ends? Now they are showing the exciting part.” Kyoko said back to Hideki, while her eyes were looking at the television. Hideki did not say anything but sat beside her, watching the drama with her. After ten minutes later, the drama ended and Kyoko faced him, and asked, “Okay, what did you want to tell me just now?” “Alright, listen to me carefully and do not get too agitated after that. It won’t do any good to our baby.” Hideki said in a serious manner to Kyoko. It was the first time Kyoko ever seen Hideki this serious, and thus she was a little startled. She nodded her head slowly. She knew that he had something bad to say, from her instinct, so she lowered her head and closed her eyes after she nodded her head. “Our baby is down with a disease called ‘Achondroplasia’ and the doctor asked if we still want to keep her. She might die even if we keep her, and so we have to decide now before it is too late.” Hideki said sadly as his tears had rolled down his face. “What! Why did this happen…?” Kyoko burst into tears once she heard the bad news. Both of them hugged together and kept crying non-stop, until suddenly Kyoko broke the cries. She released Hideki from her hug and looked at him with her teary eyes, and said calmly, “I want to keep this baby. She is our first child.” Then once again, she burst into tears again. “Kyoko, I know how you are feeling now. But actually, I wanted to tell you that we should abort this child. She will suffer in future even if we let her come into this world!” Hideki hugged Kyoko tightly and said, in a crying voice. “No!!!! I don’t want to abort her! She is our child, God’s blesses to us!” Kyoko shouted back to Hideki, while she was still crying. “I know! I know! I know that we should give her a chance of living! But do think for her seriously! What if she did not survive after birth? We will be even heartbreaking by that time. Also even if she survives, not only we have to suffer, she has to suffer too! At that time, I can’t imagine what will happen to us and her!” Hideki said in a louder voice to calm Kyoko’s mood, so as to prevent her from getting even agitated. Kyoko did not say anything but kept crying in Hideki’s chest. She was too hurt to say anything; she just wanted to cry silently and not think of anything at that time. Since then, for many weeks, Kyoko had been having poor appetites and refused to talk to Hideki. Even if Hideki tried very hard to get her attention by hurting himself, she still does not care. She would keep looking and caress her stomach while sitting at the sofa, as if she wanted to protect something. She would also watch her favorite dramas on time without fail. However, she just would not care for Hideki. Seeing Kyoko kept doing the same thing over and over again for many days, Hideki thought that she got into depression. Thus, he went to their gynecologist for consultation. After waiting for about thirty minutes, it was finally his turn to go into the room. “Doctor, I think my wife is having depression!” Hideki shouted aloud once he got into the gynecologist’s room at the hospital. “Hey, don’t shout so loud!” the gynecologist shown him a quiet hand sign and continued her words, “Are you really sure about that?” “I think I am sure, she kept doing the same actions over and over again. Even if I get hurt or talk to her, she just didn’t have any response. All she does is caressing her stomach and watch her dramas.” Hideki said in a worried yet loud voice. At that time, he was pressing against the gynecologist’s table with both of his arms and his face was close to her face too. His eyes were opened very big while he was talking, this action made the gynecologist got shocked and embarrassed. “Hey, don’t get so close to me!” the gynecologist pushed Hideki’s face away. “I am sorry, doctor. I got too agitated.” Hideki bowed and apologized to the gynecologist sincerely. “Alright, about your case, I think you should observe her for a few more days. Maybe she is just thinking of something. Did you tell her about the baby’s decision?” the gynecologist said calmly. “Yes, I have. It is from there on, she became like this. I am afraid it was the decision thing that made her depressed and led to depression.” Hideki said with a worried voice. “Hmm, oh I see…Well, I suggested you talk to her seriously this time round. Get to know what she is thinking of and contact me if there is any serious problem you have detected. Here is my contact-card.” the gynecologist said while handing a card to him. “Okay, I will talk to her. Thank you so much for your advice.” Hideki waved to the gynecologist and leave the room. When Hideki reached home, he walked towards Kyoko who was sitting on the sofa. “Kyoko…” Hideki put his hands on her shoulders and shown her a sad face. “Hideki, I have a decision.” Kyoko looked at him and said coldly. After hearing what Kyoko had said, Hideki’s eyes became wider and his mouth opened into a ‘O’ shape too, looking very shocked. Without waiting for Hideki’s further response, Kyoko spoke up first, “I do not want our child to suffer. So…Go and make arrangement for the abortion. Arrange it quick.” In the end, they got their child aborted. As for Kyoko, she remained the same as she is but she is willing to talk to Hideki already. They also created a grave for their child. On the grave, it craved, ‘In the memory of Hideki’s and Kyoko’s child. She had died on XX/XX/XXXX, before birth.’ And so, every year, they would visit this grave in memory of their first child. Many years later, Kyoko gave birth to two babies. Both babies are healthy and normal. Moreover, they were boys too! Just as they wanted, their wish came true in the end. – End of Story – Labels: a life decision, bluezrosen, chapter one, short story 0 Reviews♥ |
