“It should be shared with your parents.” The doctor said.
Serena starts to frown and still stares at the gestures of a doctor who seems a little bit uneasy.
“I think it will be useless, Doctor. You can tell me now because my parents will not care about it. They got divorced so long ago.” Serena insisted. She is so curious.
“According to the result of USG last time, your uterus … I mean yours is smaller than usual uterus and it does not grow up.” The doctor said. Then he stares at Serena’s eyes.
Serena’s face becomes sad and her eyes have been flushed. The result of that diagnosis made her cry immediately.
Before that, another doctor said that MRKH syndrome has attacked one woman in five thousand women in this world. The syndrome which is abbreviated by Mayer Rokitansky Kuster Hauser is usually diagnosed after the patients say that they have not got menstruation in their puberty life. Because of that Serena accepted her friend’s suggestion to go to a doctor.
“Unfortunately, this syndrome does not have …”
“It doesn’t have medicine, does it?” Serena said immediately.
The doctor nutates. “But you can take therapy, the content of which is dilatation of your vagina.”
“No, Doctor. Stop telling it. I won’t.” Serena rejected. No man will accept a woman who cannot birth a baby like I am.”
“Serena. You have to be patient. Don’t say that.” Fina said. She is Serena’s best friend who accompanies her now.
The doctor then gives the result paper to Serena. “You can take an MRI checkup and other tests to get the real result if you want. And you also may come here again whenever you are ready.”
“Thanks, Doctor.”
After saying this statement, Serena left the room. Then she runs to Green Park which is behind that clinic. She wants to appease her mind, but this idea is not easy because she looks at some married couples over there. They seem happy with their children.
Not only that view but also Serena sees a pregnant woman with her husband walk in front of her. She cries because she knows that she cannot be a mother forever. Her dream of get happy life with her husband-to-be in the future will not come true.
“Serena, you are here. I didn’t find you everywhere.” Fina said.
Fina was worried that her best friend would do something worse. It can put Serena get danger.
Now, both of them who are still 17 years old are silent and stare at the view of Green Park. Fina does not want to talk. She gives Serena time to think about what she will do later.
When the rain comes, Fina pulls Serena’s arm to go away from there.
“Why is my life so pitiful? Even my parents do not care about me. Maybe I wanna die soon.” Serena is crying now.
“Serena, you still have me.” Fina hugs her soon.
“I don’t know what I will do. I am disappointed with this situation, Fina.” Serena is still crying. “And you know what? Barra ever said that we would get marriage. But now, it is impossible. I’m not a perfect woman.” Serena said. She is depressed.
