Apparently, my best friend My in-laws

The Immaculate Love 77

“Sherin!”

Call from a familiar voice. Bringing every distraction. The man was also present finally here. He is now approaching.

Sherin looked at him with amazement. Found a face that last night as soon as he wired—even to the point of not being able to close his eyes even for a moment—Sherin so unable to speak.

Various feelings turbulent in the chest, want to be angry, want to ask questions, want to vent the annoyance and disappointment. But of all things do not know where to start. Finally, Sherin just stared at it, with reluctant lips opened. But it was very clear that the eyes of the two met in a hollow room.

Aura and Quinsha who were both able to feel the atmosphere, immediately stood up and exited the room without a word, and without any excuse anyway.

Alarik sat on the edge of the hospital bed where Sherin lay. The look in his eyes scanned the gentle face of his wife closely. For a moment Sherin returned her gaze, but soon the beautiful netra was diverted because of a lump of clear water that was ready to roll.

“I'm sorry, Sherin,” Alarik said in a soft voice.

“Sorry for what, Mas?” ask Sherin. She wanted her husband to clarify the meaning of her words.

“All things, all the mistakes I can't name.”

“Terus?” ask Sherin further.

“I'm sorry.”

“I'm sorry. And what's next?” Sherin. He could already guess, if Alarik's sentence was not finished. It is possible, leaving or a divorce that will be the conclusion of all his words. Sherin has resigned, and he will accept. Although now there was one life that he had to fight in his womb.

And it turned out that Alarik shook his head briefly. Without a single word as a complement. The man lowered his body, reaching Sherin. And the woman's heart slipped, when she realized that Alarik was kissing her stomach.

“Take care of him, Rin,”, he asked.

“Only me yes, Mas should take care of it?” tukas Sherin's.

Based on an examination by the doctor who handled it earlier in the IGD, Sherin was apparently positiv two-bodied. The gestational age is estimated to be only 4 weeks. Knowing that fact Sherin immediately cried with an uncertain feeling.

On the one hand, he was happy, on the other he was sad. Sherin was once in a confident decision to end her marriage to Alarik, apparently God answered her in this way. By blowing the spirit of life in her womb.

If this is the case, can he still echoes the divorce in him? Even if in the end, if Alarik chose that path, Sherin would still accept.

Lucky in his rundown mood, one by one his friends came to strengthen. They are present as tranquilizers. What must be admitted, that the existence of Aura and Quinsha in Sherin's life is an extraordinary gift.

“Surely with me too,” said Alarik which made Sherin secretly sigh in relief. Alarik already knew about the pregnancy, maybe he had spoken to the doctor who handled his wife first, before seeing Sherin in the treatment room. And now he decided to take care of his son with Sherin.

And it was not enough just that, after kissing Sherin's stomach is still flat, Alarik also kissed his wife's forehead was short. Although not with a long enough duration, but enough to make Sherin sparkle happy.

“Mas from where?” ask Sherin later.

“Gak from everywhere, Rin.”

“Why not go home all night?”

“I just want to be alone, Rin,” replied Alarik with bowed.

“What if at home, you can't get your wish to be alone, Mas? Did I mess with your loneliness?” Or do you want me to leave your house first so you can be alone?” scowl Sherin with a pair of eyes that are beginning to condense.

“It's not so, Sherin. What the hell are you talking about. Yesterday I was just feeling very disappointed. But I realized, I was also the one who caused the disappointment. In this condition I feel like I can't do anything, but on the one hand I have to be strong. So I chose myself first to strengthen myself,” explained Alarik for his attitude that did not go home and did not tell me anything.

“Related for what reason, Mas?” ask Sherin slowly.

Alarik. “Later after you're healthy, I'll tell you. Now you don't think about anything else, other than your health and that of our son!” Alarik uttered the sentence in his usual tone, there was not even a smile as a accompaniment. But, I don't know, why that sentence feels so warm to Sherin. Even as if giving him the spirit to be strong and steadfast, in living his married life that may still feel heavy in the future.

“Kak Clau's. Did Aura contact you?” ask Sherin who does not know that Claudya is also in the hospital. Even before entering to see his wife, Alarik had spoken to Claudya in front of Sherin's nursery.

“I did want to visit Aura, but at his house there was no one at all. When I called, it turned out he was here.” Claudya immediately sat down beside Sherin.

“Congratulations yes, will be a mother,” she said as she rubbed Sherin's shoulders.

“Thank you, Brother,” welcome Sherin with a smile.

“Health from now onwards. Just ignore everything that makes you uncomfortable, for the sake of your child. I know it's not easy. But we must have the determination to make the discomfort go away from our lives, ” counsel Claudya while continuing to wipe the shoulder of Sherin.

“God willing, Brother. Thank you for the support,” said Sherin sincerely.

Next Claudya looked at Alarik, her youngest sister lowered her head while recalling her conversation with the first daughter of William in front of the room half an hour ago.

The Flashback

"Alarik, where are you going?" Claudya prevents Alarik from rushing into the room to see Sherin.

Claudya had come to the hospital about twenty minutes earlier. And he already got the info about Sherin's condition from Aura. And according to ART Sherin-mbok Sum-Alarij can be contacted and informed about Sherin's condition, now he is on his way to the hospital.

Because of this, Claudya decided to wait for Alarik's arrival before meeting Sherin.

The two sisters sat in the sofa seat but neither began to say. Until Alarik took the initiative to ask first.

“I heard Brother Clau is overseas.” Alarik opens a conversation with Claudya.

“Yes. I only went home for two days. Tomorrow I'll be back again. So I took the time to visit Aura first,” explained Claudya.

Alarik smiled, he felt happy to see Claudya now who looked very fond of his daughter-in-law.

“What business is it, Brother Clau abroad?”

“Finding Airlangga.”

“So Damaresh hasn't told you, where is Elang mas now?”

Alarik already knows the story about Airlangga—suami Claudya— who was still alive from Damaresh.

“Let's go, no papa. I didn't ask Aresh to tell me. I have to find out for myself where Airlangga is. Even for that, I was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I will continue to do so, that as my guilt-redeemer all this time,” Claudya explained.

It looks like Alarik is breathing. Guilt and regret don't ask her. Alarik is an expert. Over twenty years he wallowed with guilt so as to kill him slowly.

“We may be able to get an apology from the person we have hurt. But the guilt in us for the mistakes we have made, it tends to hurt more than we never get an apology at all,” said Claudya related to what she felt so far.

“True, Sister. And I've felt those two things so far. Feeling guilty and not apologizing. It feels like whatever we can, it never has any meaning.”

“You've been through that for over twenty years huh, Al?” Claudya was seen looking at her sister with a sliver.

“Iya.” Alarik.

“And you'll still feel that way again, Al. Maybe for the rest of your life,” Claudya said.

“A-What do you mean, Brother Clau?”
