Chapter 229 - Because Of Love

Seeing Viona crying made Jenny and Amina act immediately. They tried to calm Viona because they were worried about her sister's pregnancy. 

"Sis, don't cry ... don't you feel sorry for my nephew who is in here?" Amina asked quietly while touching Viona's stomach. 

"Yes, please remember, you are not alone anymore. I have read that when a pregnant woman cries, her baby who is being conceived can also feel the mother's sadness," Jenny added in response to Amina's words. 

"I - I'm not crying, I'm just sobbing just a little sob sob ..." Viona could not finish her words because her voice seemed stuck in her throat. 

Jenny quickly gave Viona some water to make her comfortable. Amina was seen helping by wiping the tears that wet Viona's beautiful face which looked swollen. After finishing the water given by her sister, Viona looked a little calm. Her tears had stopped flowing, even though her eyes were still teary. 

"Have you ever had an ultrasound check?" Amina asked softly. 

"Only once, and the baby couldn't be seen because it was still very young when I did it a few weeks ago," Viona replied quickly. 

"Looks like my niece is a girl, Sis ..." Amina said, touching Viona's stomach slowly. 

"Don't act knowledgeable, Amina! My nephew is definitely a handsome baby, Amina," Jenny fiercely said. 

She hoped that she would get a nephew from Viona who she could race with. 

"Seeing Vio's change in attitude, I can guess that my nephew is definitely a beautiful girl like me, Jenny," Amina replied, not wanting to lose. 

"A boy!" Jenny shrieked, as she stood up with her hands on her waist. 

"A girl!" Amina replied, as she stood up in front of Jenny. 

"A boy!!!" 

"A girl!!" 

"A boy, Amina, a boy ... why are you so annoying!!" Jenny said with great emotion. 

"No way ... I'm sure Vio is pregnant with a baby girl that I can dress up." Amina replied with fiery eyes. 

Some of the maids who heard Amina and Jenny's quarrel could only smile. They knew that the mistress's two younger siblings weren't really fighting. Fernando, who had just arrived home, immediately stopped his footsteps when he heard Amina and Jenny's shouts coming from the living room. His eyebrows knitted together because the voices of his two sisters-in-law became clearer. 

"What happened, Teddy?" Fernando asked quietly to his butler. 

"Master, the two younger sisters are fighting over the gender of your baby," Teddy replied with a smile. 

"What do you mean?" Fernando asked softly, not understanding. 

"So Miss Jenny insisted that your son is a boy, but Miss Amina said that it is a girl," Teddy whispered softly. 

A smile crossed Fernando's face after knowing the source of the argument between his two sisters-in-law. 

"Then what about my wife, whose side is she on?" Fernando asked curiously. 

"Madame just sat quietly watching her two younger siblings fight, Sir, because earlier ..." 

"Why, Teddy?" Fernando said, interrupting Teddy's words. 

Teddy then told the details of the beginning of the quarrel between the two girls who had just arrived from England, from the time the three of them made muffins and distributed freshly made muffins to all the maids and housekeepers, until Viona became sad when she saw the news broadcast on television featuring Fernando speaking in front of reporters announcing his withdrawal from the new parliamentary elections. 

Fernando stood there calmly as he listened to Teddy's explanation. His expression didn't seem to change, in that position he looked even more terrible than when he was angry. Teddy seemed to immediately back away at Fernando's unusual expression. 

"Master, you're ..." 

"I'm fine, Teddy," Fernando said, cutting off the butler's words while trying to smile. 

Afterwards, Fernando then continued his steps towards the family room where his wife and two younger siblings were. He smiled lightly when he heard Amina and Jenny's fight still hadn't stopped. 

"Now let's ask Vio so this can be settled fairly," Jenny said quickly, 

"What do you mean Jenn?" Amina asked, confused. 

"Yes, we will ask Vio, she will choose, is it Jenny's team or Amina's team?" Jenny answered in a rising voice as she walked over to Viona, who had been sitting on the sofa. 

"Alright, let's do it!" Amina replied briefly. 

She then walked slowly following Jenny's steps. Viona, who felt the danger was threatening, seemed to sit deeper into the sofa as she lifted her legs onto the sofa like a frightened child trying to avoid her two siblings who were fighting. 

"Sis Vio, now give us the decision, is it team Jenny or team Amina?" Jenny said in a raised voice, while sitting next to Viona. 

"I have to join too?" Asked Viona, confused. 

"Of course, Sis, so now tell me, you're on Amina's team, right? You must agree with my opinion, right?" Amina answered quickly. 

"I - I ..." 

"I'm in Jenny's team," Fernando replied loudly, suddenly startling everyone who was sitting on the sofa.

"Brother-in-law!" Jenny and Amina said together in shock when they saw that Fernando was already standing in front of them. 

"I'm in Jenny's team." Fernando repeated with a smile. 

"You're in my team!!! Hooray, so now the points are two to one … After all, Amina, why don't you just give up, because Vio will also be in Jenny's team, right?" Jenny replied with a triumphant laugh, turning her head towards Viona, who was still silent.

"Ouch …" Jenny screamed in pain when her hand was pulled by Amina with force. 

"Are you crazy, Amina? My hand hurts!" Jenny said struggling to get away from Amina's grip. 

"Shut up ... let them both finish their household affairs." Amina replied curtly as she glanced at Fernando and Viona, who were still staring at each other without speaking. 

Hearing Amina's words made Jenny stop struggling. She finally happily left the family room following Amina's steps, who asked her to leave. After Amina and Jenny left, Fernando slowly walked towards Viona, who was still sitting on the sofa. 

"Babe …" 

"I ..."

Fernando and Viona stopped their words as they spoke at the same time. The two of them collided as if they were talking, until finally droplets of water fell from Viona's eyelids which had been teary when she first saw Fernando come. Fernando immediately fell on the sofa to hug her, who was crying silently. He couldn't hold back his longing for her anymore. Not to be able to talk to each other for five days really tortured his mind. 

"I'm sorry for what I did back then, Babe." Fernando whispered softly regretfully. 

"I'm sorry because I've ... already sniffed …" Viona could not finish her words because Fernando had increased the strength of her hug so that Viona's face sank deeper into his chest. 

"Don't talk anymore ... I'm the one who was wrong for being too selfish ... I'm sorry, Babe, I can't lose you ... I'm sorry," Fernando said softly. 

"I ... ah ..." Viona suddenly complained of pain and tried to get away from her husband's embrace.
