1 Diagnosis

A black car with the type of Fortuner enters the parking lot of a well-known hospital in Jakarta. After the car was parked perfectly, the front door opened and two people came out of it. One of them is a beautiful woman with a slender body, shoulder-length hair, wearing trousers combined with a white shirt. Not to forget, there is a black bag in the right hand and the price is estimated at thousand dollar. The other figure is a handsome man with a muscular body. He has sharp eyes adorned with two eyebrows that match his Western face shape so well. His slightly thick lips were red as if challenging to taste. They strolled casually and looked harmonious. Several pairs of eyes looked amazed because both of them had above-average looks.

The condition of the hospital is never quiet and many visitors are passing by. After walking for no more than 5 minutes, they finally arrived in front of the doctor's office they had met the day before and had made an appointment beforehand. Inevitably, the woman knocked on the door and landed her hand on the handle, then pushed it. So, I saw the contents of the room and was greeted by the smile of a man dressed as a doctor.

"Finally you came too, Pao!" said the doctor as if already waiting for their presence.

"Did we keep you waiting long, Dit?" asked Paola after closing the door.

"Not really because I just happened to finish lunch. Please have a seat!" answered Aditya who had made an appointment with them and was known by Paola.

They immediately took their respective positions followed by Aditya's assistant submitting the results of the examination they carried out yesterday as a pre-marital condition. As for the smile that was etched faintly on Frans's lips, he was suddenly tense at the result, even though he was sure everything would go smoothly.

"This is yesterday's inspection result and please check it carefully." Aditya's voice could be heard clearly as his hands held out the files belonging to the two of them which were accepted by Paola and Frans.

In a short time, the room turned silent because it let them see what made the two come to the hospital in between busy offices. Silently Aditya stares intently at them whereas Paola looks enthusiastic at the result. Meanwhile, Frans looked normal, even though he was worried in his heart, so he looked at what was written there and seemed to be holding his breath until Paola's voice was heard first.

"Thank goodness the results are okay. I swear, Dit, I couldn't sleep last night thinking about these results!" Paola's voice sounded happy with a big smile on her lips. Likewise, Aditya's reaction was also happy with this reaction. However, that smile immediately disappeared when he looked at Frans who was silent with bulging eyes.

"Frans, what's wrong?" Paola asked curiously, but Frans didn't seem to hear what he was saying until he grabbed the piece of paper he was holding and released it so easily. Paola carefully read what was written there, then muttered.

"Barren?" That was the one word that Paola spoke and it sounded soft, but it was still clear enough for Frans to hear who was silent. Aditya could hear where he already knew the result.

Paola looked at Frans's face which was turning red, then turned to Aditya who remained silent enjoying their current shock. Of course, Paola couldn't believe what she had just read and decided to reread the results. He repeated it several times until he suddenly heard Frans' voice.

"I can't believe it and I'm sure that there is an error in the results of this examination. That possibility can happen, right?" asked Frans with his eyes looking straight at Aditya with his breath racing because his heart denied this result. Aditya didn't answer right away instead he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before saying something where Frans was in a bad state. He had predicted questions like that and now was the time for him to explain without hiding anything according to the facts that happened.

"No, Frans. There can be no mistake and the examination is correct!" The answer sounded short, but it hurt so much to those who heard it. Then, he shook his head repeatedly, then hit the table, which startled Paola.

"Don't lie to me, Dit! I can sue this hospital if it is proven that it has issued false data. Say that this is all a lie because I am a healthy man!" Frans said with bulging eyes fixed on Aditya because he didn't accept it. Paola suddenly panicked when she saw Frans like this for the first time. However, he immediately brought his right hand which was placed on his back, then gently stroked it as if channeling strength. Aditya glanced briefly at Paola, then commented.

"I understand how you feel, Frans. However, the result is what it is. Maybe the sample mixed up because it just so happened that you were the only one who did this test yesterday. I'm sorry I have to say this." Aditya put forward a reasonable reason with a calm expression, but at the same time, he was compassionate. As a man, Aditya understands how hurt Frans is in his current situation.

"No way! I can't be infertile. All this time I have maintained a healthy lifestyle. I have never even drunk a drop of alcohol. I'm sure the results of this examination must be wrong!" Frans said in a low voice and sounded sad and still denied that fact. He snatched the sheet of paper that was held by Paola, then raised it high in front of Aditya's face.

"TELL ALL THIS IS A LIE!" The anger experienced by Frans is of course very understandable by Aditya at this time who is not provoked by anger because he has been yelled at. As a doctor, Aditya certainly knows that Frans is devastated by the fact that he is declared infertile after carrying out a series of examinations. Seeing Frans's attitude like that, Paola tried to calm him down because an assistant who was in the room seemed surprised to hear Frans' screams because he didn't accept them.

"Calm down, Frans. Don't get angry!" said Paola trying to react.

"HOW DO I NOT GET ANGRY IF THESE TESTS SHOW ME TO BE UNHEALTHY. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS I CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN AND THAT'S HURT TO ME, PAOLA! NO! I DON'T BELIEVE AT ALL THAT I'M A BARREN MAN. I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" Frans answered no less loudly with his eyes fixed on Paola where he had never seen such a reaction before. His face turned red from the anger followed by another sentence.

"I'M A HEALTHY MAN AND I CAN'T BE BADLY. KEEP THAT!" Frans said aiming at Aditya and Paola, then immediately got up from his seat feeling disappointed to leave the room. Frans slammed the door causing a loud bang. Paola rushed to catch up because Frans was in a bad state and covered in emotion with a paper in his left hand the results of his examination.

"I go first!" Paola said goodbye and Aditya didn't reply anything, he could only nod and watch them leave. However, a female voice is heard and is Aditya's assistant.

"Too bad for him, Doc. He's so handsome but barren."
