Zenith's Point Of View
It's like the world stopped at what he said, I don't know how to say it but I don't need anyone's help ...
"Zhang ... I'm begging you. Stop it," I said coldly.
"I love you. I don't want to! I won't let you, I won't give up. I told you before, didn't I? I'll be with you in everything," he insisted.
I know he can make his promises but I myself will not fulfill them. Tsk.
I looked him in the eye seriously,
"Forget it ..."
"... I don't need you, I can handle myself, Zhang. You always make me look weak but the truth is I can do it alone. I can live without you," I told a lie.
"Can I, Zhang? This is the last time I'll tell you, we're done — ahh!" I suddenly cried out in pain to feel it in my stomach.
I recoil and feel the pain,
"Ahhh! G-Genesis ... argh!"
"Dear?! Why? W-What's going on? What's hurting ?!" Zhang asked confused and approached me.
It supports me to bed.
"Nithialyne? Hala! Z-Zhang ... call the midwife, your wife is about to give birth!" I heard Genesis worry.
I felt Zhang let go of my hold and leave the bed.
"G-Genesis ... aahhh!"
"Hurry up, Zhang! We don't have time," he promised loudly.
"O-Okay, alright... dear? Wait for me huh? I'm just fast, bear with the pain first," I heard Zhang say.
I shouted again, "Ahhh!"
"Hurry up, Zhang. Your son is coming out! I don't know anything about this so you can't trust me," Genesis said directly.
I don't know if Zhang has left the room but Genesis came over and held my hand. "Nithialyne? Please don't, a little more patient, I'm just here ..." she relieved.
But it's too late. I couldn't take it anymore, I tightened my grip on her hand and then let out a very strong one.
"Aaahhhhhhhh!"
After that I felt something come out of my lower part.
Genesis came out to look at it, "N-Nithialyne ... your child is a girl."
I smiled because of that. Woman ... a memory I will leave with Zhang.
"Why isn't my child crying, Genesis?" even fainting I still asked out of astonishment. I couldn’t hear the baby crying, it was just quiet.
Despite the difficulty I immediately looked at my child to make sure she was alive. Genesis took a clean cloth and wrapped it around my daughter and then lifted her up.
"Don't worry, your child, Zenith is alive. She's just a weird kid because she didn't even cry, Nithialyne." the thorn in my chest disappeared when I heard that.
A very nice child ...
"Genesis, the midwife is here!" we turned to Zhang who had just returned.
She was with an old woman and seemed to be both exhausted.
Zhang was shocked to see that Genesis had come up and turned to me.
I nodded and smiled, "Our child is a girl, Zhang."
I could see the pleasure in his eyes when he heard that. Zhang slowly approached and looked at his son silently.
"A-The child ... I, Nithialyne ... is-our child a girl," she said happily crying.
"Congratulations to you two, Zhang," Genesis also said happily then handed my son to his father.
Zhang watched in tears, "Your mother loves you so much, love ..."
I feel like I will cry because of what he said.
This is the day I will never forget and I will cherish until death.
"Your wife greets you two, son. But may I know what your daughter name is?" the old woman with him asked.
Zhang turned to me and then smiled, we answered the question at the same time ... "Zenith Maure Aspen..."
And now there is something inside of Zenith's body are now melting in joy and grateful to see how happy her parents when she came out of the world.
In the memories of Zhang Rome Aspen..?
"Zenith Maure Aspen ..."
I can’t explain the pity I feel right now while my child is on my lap and carrying me.
She looks like Nithialyne, only eyes are already obvious to her and also got the nose and lips of my dear wife. It looks like a replica of Nithialyne when she was young.
"Welcome to the world, Zenith ... my child," I said softly, then kissed her forehead.
"Babaylan, I just want to know something. Is it normal for a baby not to cry after coming out of the mother's womb?" Genesis asked.
I just looked at Nithialyne then nodded at her.?I knew he was still weak so he just watched my father and me.
"That thing rarely happens, it seems like only special babies with a unique potential can do that. Why did you ask? Did something happen before when your friend gave birth?" babaylan's response to Genesis.
I wondered, "Why Genesis?"
"When your daughter Nithialyne came out she didn't even cry, we thought she was dead so I made sure but your daughter was really quiet," she replied so I looked at my dear wife to find out.
"Hmm, Genesis is right, Zhang." he assured. I turned to the barn.
"Then your two children are really unique, son. Can I see its fate?" asking the babaylan's permission.
There is nothing wrong with that because I also want to know. Surely our son would be a great asset to the organization and Father would be happy to do so.
Now that my daughter Nithialyne is also out, I see the right opportunity that maybe we can get well and go back to normal.
The babaylan was already carrying our two children and he was about to touch them on the forehead.
"I can't agree with what you want, old babaylan," Nithialyne said suddenly who was stopped by the babaylan.
It moved away from me and then my son returned politely, "I'm sorry sister."
"What's the matter, my love?" I asked because there was something strange about him.
"I can't trust that babaylan, where did you find him?" its serious utterance.
