183. Going to the Village

"You must immediately give Anita a sister, Sis. Let her have a friend to play with at this hour. She doesn't always cling to her father's arms.' Kusuma Wardhana said. Siska pouted. This is not the first time people have said that to her. She felt sad because everyone mocked her for not being able to give Anita a sister.

Vishnu, Siska's husband, just sighed. He immediately got up to calm his wife who was still looking down while holding back tears from falling. He stroked Siska's head and kissed her gently, making Kusuma look at them with his eyebrows furrowed together. All this time he had absolutely no idea why they were mutually reinforcing.

"Come on, don't be sad, they're just kidding."

"Yes, Honey. Siska knows that too, but my heart really hurts when I realize how imperfect I am because I have been married for a long time but have only been given one child."
