Divorced for Poor

Chapter 71. Look at Desta

Desta was hospitalized for bleeding in the head and a broken bone. He had to undergo surgery and intensive care. Given Desta's severe condition, Nathan's side decided not to continue the legal process for Desta.

Lilis is grateful that Nathan dropped his lawsuit. Not knowing why, Lilis felt sorry for her ex-husband. Maybe it was because she was pregnant and her gentle nature appeared.

Lilis sat pensively at the bedside. She feels scared too, if Nathan gets angry at her after finding out she feels sorry for Desta. Even without him asking, Nathan took the initiative to drop his lawsuit on Desta. Especially after that, Nathan slightly moved away from her.

Could it be that he was jealous or suspicious that I still had a taste for Desta's mas?

Lilis let out a heavy sigh while holding onto her stomach. The child in the womb moved as if he knew his mother's mind was in turmoil.

Nathan entered without saying a word to Lilis. He immediately threw himself into bed and turned his back to Lilis. Lilis was afraid, but if all was not talked about, it would definitely cause a prolonged misunderstanding.

Lilis went to lay down beside her husband. He tried to get closer.

"Mas, is Nathan mad at me?" tanya Lilis was doubtful whether her husband would answer her question.

He hasn't talked to her all day. Never say hello, just look like he's reluctant.

"Anged, Of course I'm so angry?" nathan answered without looking.

"What's my fault?" tanya Lilis was sad.

Nathan turned the body around making Lilis moved. His eyes began to tear up and almost shed tears.

"This day, still don't understand?" nathan asked in wonder.

"Is it because of Desta? Nathan is mad at me?"

"Astaghfirullah, Lilies. So all day you thought I was shutting you down because of Desta's problem?" nathan asked as he shook his head.

"Yes. Is there some other problem, which makes Mas Nathan mad at me?" ask Lilis.

Lilis was confused to see Nathan smiling at her. Nathan hugged her.

"Freely I pretended to be angry and silenced you. You are completely insensitive" Nathan said.

"What's up, anyway. Why don't you just tell me."

"His mood, my expectations are too high. I wish my wife loved me more than I did. But it turns out, I'm the one who loves you too much even if you don't like me at all. I still love you."

"What do you mean?"

"Today is my birthday."

Lilis surprised. She really doesn't know her husband's birthday. It's only right that Nathan's mad at him.

"Sorry, I really don't know if today is your birthday."

"Forget it, today is over. I'm sorry too, if I've made you sad. Pity our son" Nathan said, kissing Lilis on the forehead.

"Next time I'll remember it,"

"I have some good news for you."

"What is that, Mom?"

"Wendi proposed to Sri. And both of them have agreed to get married."

"Later they'll tell you. You must be the first one to be told them."

Lilis smiled. Indeed, the three of them were friends as well as brothers. Their relationship is very intimate despite the slight awkwardness when Lilis finds out Wendi is in love with her.

"Hopefully tomorrow, they come and say it officially to me" Lilis said expectantly.

"Want to report, use it officially. It's too high a language" Nathan said with a smile.

"Why, trouble for Nathan? Ih, do I also want to look like the boss," said the spoiled Lilis.

"You've always been the boss. Boss here, in my heart. Tonight I want to officially report that tomorrow, we and our family will eat together outside. How's it?"

"Eat where we are, more efficient. All of them add to our restaurant's income" Lilis said.

"Since when did my wife have a business spirit, I guess it wasn't like this?"

"I learned from my husband."

"Whose husband?"

"Don't make a sprain, Mas. How many is my husband?" tanya Lilis pretended to be upset.

"One. Do you know why I asked you everything?"

"I think I should drink honey, okay?"

"It seems, maybe but just a little. But if honey is love, can you enjoy it as you please?

"What do you mean?"

Nathan smiled, then slowly brought his face closer to the face of his wife who kept looking at him. A small kiss landed on Lilis nose. Lilis smiled as it was not just her nose, it continued all over her face and ended up on her lips.

Lilis realizes that Nathan wants something. He removed his lips and asked for the ritual first as usual. Pray and just get started.

***

The next day, Lilis took the time to ask her husband for permission to go see Desta. Nathan allows it, but he has to come see Desta. After taking Naina to school, Lilis and Nathan go to the hospital.

Lilis was stunned to see, the condition of Desta who was still unconscious. They entered to take a closer look at Desta's condition. It's been almost a week, Desta's been undergoing treatment. Given that there were no relatives in the city, Nathan wanted to finance the cost of Desta's hospital. However, it was Thunder who ended up paying the cost of Desta's hospital. Thunder did not want to trouble Nathan and Lilis. Because Lilis had been pregnant for 7 months, so Nathan's money could be used for labor.

Initially, Lilis also tried to offer to help, but was rejected by Thunder. Not much, just 20 million. That's the money that Desta asked for. Because at that time Lilis had mengikhlaskan for Desta to return home.

"Mas, let me talk to Desta. Just a few minutes" said Lilis.

"Do I have to go out?" ask Nathan.

"no need. I just want to talk to him normally. It might stimulate nerves in his brain."

Lilis sat down near Desta who was still lying weakly. Desta's fingers touched gently. Nathan can only see the incident by holding back his feelings. Although there was jealousy, it might help Desta to wake up. That way, Desta can leave this city immediately and will not disturb their domestic life anymore.

"Mas Desta, this is Lilis. Lilis has forgiven all of Desta's past mistakes. There is no grudge or wish to avenge your treatment all this time to me. I don't want to be like you, that's why I've stayed good to you until now. I'm grateful, because of you, now I can have a better life. Have a good job and have a good husband. You're still Naina's father, even though I don't want to admit it. After this, I won't come to see you again. Maybe this is the last time we met," Lilis said with a long sigh.

Lilis releases Desta's hand and immediately takes Nathan home. Nathan smiled at Lilis. Apparently Lilis just wanted to say goodbye to Desta.

After the departure of Nathan and Lilis, Desta's fingers moved slowly.
