[Note] A Perfect Marriage

Wolf And Snake

Love followed her husband who was carrying a medium-sized backpack. In front of the house, his sister-in-law was already preparing next to the white pajero car that Rudi used to travel far.

The sound of crickets rubbing against each other around the white house. Love looked up at the sky, making sure the night sky was not clad in black clouds. While not as many stars as usual, at least the weather is good enough to travel.

"I'll go first, honey. Just three days, after that I promised I'd be home soon." Rudi kissed his wife's fondest forehead.

"Hello, Bubu don't be naughty, yes," continued the man wearing casual clothes while gently stroking the stomach of Love.

The woman's smile expands, grabs Rudi's hand and kisses the back of her hand. Love put the man's hand on his smooth cheek while closing his eyes, feeling every warmth that penetrated the skin.

"Don't mess around in the city, may all your business be smooth there," said the pregnant woman with a refreshing sweet smile.

"Aamiinu. Be careful at home with mom, don't quarrel," Rudi joked with a small pinch of his wife's fluffy cheek.

"We leave first yes, sister," said Rumi who had first entered the car.

Love nodded with a bright smile. He was with Mira who was behind him waving, when the driver who was sitting alone in the steering wheel had pressed the gas pedal of the car.

The vehicle that always faithfully takes Rudi to the city every three months is getting away from the view of Love. He recalled the time yesterday when Rudi said he would go to the city to meet the collectors, and see the sale of vegetables in several supermarkets. The woman's smile slowly faded away. Disappeared just like that, changing with a sad gaze and the netra inundated by the clear tirta tangled in his fertilizer.

"Come in, son." Mira patted her daughter-in-law's shoulder as the car was gone in the distance.

Love nodded with a big smile. Stepping lethargic into his simple residence yet feeling comfortable and warm.

"Mom, I'm gonna take a break first, yeah. You also have to go to sleep immediately" said Love saying goodbye and immediately stepped into his room.

The woman sat on the lip of the bed with tears. It's not too polite to just leave her in-laws behind. He could not hold the clear liquid for too long. Love's heart throbbed with the pain of seeing her husband's departure. For some reason, somehow since when it happened, but certainly ..he was very afraid of losing the man who had given everything for him. She was afraid of losing the love and affection she had longed for.

"You're not leaving me, are you? You promised to always be with me. Come back, I don't want you to stay here alone for too long, Rud," muttered Love tightly hugging their wedding photo displayed on the table.

The night is getting late when a mother looks nervous and restless in front of the delivery room door. It had been almost three hours he stood up and walked here and there at that location. There was no news of his daughter.

"Mrs Maya, can you sit down? I'm dizzy to see you like that. Don't you usually also never care about family," said Laras who was behind it.

The last sentence of the barrel made Maya stare intently at him for a moment. "Whatever bad I am as a mother, I would never have the heart to see my daughter in danger. Aren't you also a mother, you should understand, Mrs Laras."

Barrel rolled his eyeballs lazily. Directing the end of his net at the man beside him. He looked busy with a flat object in his hand and seemed to be unconcerned with the conversation between the two women. A cynical smile imprinted on the corner of Laras' lips was accompanied by a furious expression of Maya when she realized the direction of Laras's view.

While inside the special room, a pregnant woman is fighting for a life that is still wriggling in her stomach. He whimpered, cried, and even shouted when the pain was excruciating. The man who became her husband, could only sit with a pale face on the woman's side. His sturdy hand was already filled with scratches. No words came out of his mouth, there was only panic and tension on the face of the Throne.

Medics have been seen busy preparing equipment for the birth process. However, a man dressed in full doctor stood frozen at the side of the bed. He just kept staring at the pained face of Bella. It appeared that his clenched hand below trembled slightly. The black eyes of the man stared at the Throne. From the look in his eyes, it was as if he wanted to kick the Throne from there and replace his position to give Bella strength.

"Aarghh, Doc! Pain, sakiiit," cried Bella as she felt a push from inside her stomach.

The obstetrician who has been dealing with Bella since the beginning of her pregnancy rushed to give a boost to Bella. Directing the woman strained because the opening was perfect.

The faces of the two men on Bella's side grew tense. Blood seemed to stop flowing through their bodies as Bella's strength to push thinned.

"Come, a little more. According to my count. You can, one, two, three, come on!"

Chequek!

Everyone's attention was on the door of the room that suddenly opened. A nurse came out of the delivery room.

"How's my daughter doing?" maya asked impatiently as the female nurse came out.

"Alhamdulillah, Bella's mother is stable and her daughter is as well" the young nurse replied with a friendly smile.

The half-century old mother was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. She rushed into the room with her husband. Meanwhile, Laras now looks busy with his phone. He occasionally glanced at the hallway as if he was waiting for someone.

"Good night, Mrs Laras?" greet a woman who looks the same age as him.

"Good night Doctor Yuli. Sorry to bother you at night" Laras said, greeting the formal dress woman.

"Let's come with me." Laras stepped into Bella's room followed by Doctor Yuli who was also Laras' friend.

The move about Laras made the doctors and nurses turn their heads, including Bella who had already been cleaned. He looked at his mother-in-law. But Laras' gaze was on Bimo who was looking at the baby in Bella's arms.

Meanwhile, the Throne looks busy with his father-in-law. The old man suddenly became friendly and seemed attentive to Bella's health before the Throne. It was obvious that the Throne forced its smile in response to Azam's rant.

"I want you to do a DNA test on the boy and my son" Laras said, leaving everyone in the room dumbfounded.

All the attention was on the two people in the doorway. Bella's eyes were even perfectly rounded, as was Bimo's.

"Mother?" Now the Throne is approaching his mother.

"What does Mom mean? Haven't we done that before, and mother herself saw the results."

The barrel pulled one corner of his lips. The tail of the woman's eyes was fixed on a man who was still pecking near Bella's feet. "It happened when I didn't know there were any other snakes around you."

"What do you mean, Mrs Laras? My daughter only has one lover and that's your son. Please take care of your words," exclaimed Maya full of emphasis.

"Already, Maya. I don't want to mince words and courtesy anymore. Isn't it common knowledge that your family also has other partners outside of marriage? So cooperate with me, then I will also cooperate with you," Laras said while showing a photo of Maya with a man.

Maya freezes, and so does her daughter and husband. This was a disgrace that they kept neatly. Azam even swallowed his saliva heavily. His career will be ruined if the news is smelled in the media. Bella unknowingly squeezes her hold on the baby.

"You're a crafty one, Laras!" Maya stared at the mistress.

"Did you just know I was sneaky? Didn't you say I was a wolf in socialite circles?" answered Laras with a sly smile.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce him is Doctor Yuli. The best doctor from Aisyah hospital. I will not use the services of this hospital to perform important tasks. Please do, Doctor Yuli."

Of course that brief introduction managed to shake Bimo's composure. His hands clenched tightly to make the veins of his arms protrude. If he lets that happen, Bella's entire lie will be exposed. Bimo did not want Bella who had just struggled between life and death to have trouble again.

...Seriate.......
