Elisha opened his eyes slowly, frowning in surprise when he saw the husband looking at him while standing not far from the bed. "Rey, why are you standing there."
Reynald immediately smiled at Elisha and stepped closer. He lay down and hugged his wife from behind. "I miss you so much, baby." He kissed the back of Elisha's neck many times.
Elisha wanted to turn around, but there was Raffa who was still soundly asleep. "Me too, but now the situation is not supportive...wait a minute, why are you suddenly spoiled like this?"
Reynald chuckled lightly when he heard his wife's words. He actually wanted to convey the thing that he talked to Niko earlier to, Elisha. "You're good at guessing, I really want to talk about something, but then just wait for Raffa to wake up.
"I get curious, just say it slowly."
"Ck, yes I can say it in a soft voice, but I'm sure the response you give will not be able to speak slowly, be patient. We'll talk about both." Reynald again tightened his arms and kissed his wife's neck.
"Honey ticklish ..." you little Elisha, to the husband.
"Don't call me baby at a time like this, what if I want to but you can't give it to me." Reynald felt his entire body stiffen when he heard Elisha's voice like that.
...**...
Niko returns to Sofia's ward after she finishes talking on the phone with Reynald. He opened the door and stopped for a moment in the doorway. Sofia was sitting in the hospital bed.
Although still upset, but Niko tried to hold back for the sake of her future baby. He took a deep breath and then walked back to Sofia. "Why are you pensive like that?"
Sofia looked towards the source of the voice. He was stunned for a moment, looking at Niko who was now sitting in front of him. "Where have you been?"
Niko can finally smile when she hears Sofia's question. "It turns out you're still looking for me. Yeah. I guess you don't want to see me anymore."
"I don't have anyone to rely on at a time like this, do you also want to run away from responsibility?" Sofia still seems reluctant to Niko, although she actually needs the father of the baby.
Niko grabbed Sofia's hand and held it tightly. "I won't leave you, but please change from now on. Remove all those grudges, we start a new life. I know, I'm not a good guy either. I like to play girls, get drunk. But I promise I'll change. Let's both get better."
Sofia looked into Niko's eyes. He could see if the man he considered the impingement was very sincere to him. The same look Reynald once gave him.
Will there really be a love as sincere as Reynald once was. This was a second chance for him to be happy, those words kept ringing in his head, though still hesitant but it was a good start.
Because breaking the frozen heart and conquering the ego so big is not as easy as imagined. Basically, growing love takes time and patience.
"You really want this kid?" ask Sofia suddenly.
"Of course, you have to take care of her and never think about aborting the child.You know, I was disappointed because you were not happy to know you were pregnant." Niko smiled back at Sofia.
"Let's get married, Sof," said Niko suddenly.
"Married to inmates? Hey you're crazy .. Take it easy, I'll give birth to this child safely after that you can take it and the business between us is done."
Niko looked at Sofia in disbelief, she was trying her best but Sofia seemed to not appreciate everything. "I'm trying to persuade Reynald to let you go, this is how if you really get out of jail, give me some time until the child is born. If you haven't loved me in that time, I'll back off with the baby. So now marry me, Sofia."
Sofia is again made to be glued by Niko's words. Her heart jolted again, as she took one step back, Niko took two steps forward. After Reynald leaves her life, Niko seems to return with the same feelings as Reynald offered first, will Sofia again ignore Niko as Reynald used to? ... If he did, he shouldn't feel the same regret.
At least this child should not be born without his father, do I have to give a chance to, Niko .. why my life became like this, inner Sofia.
...**...
At a restaurant in the hotel where Elisa and Reynald were staying.
"What! Been free?" Elisha stood up from his sitting position when he heard the words of his husband. She did not expect Sofia to become pregnant when she was sentenced to prison.
Reynald looked up at Elisha and then looked back down with a long sigh, expecting Elisha to respond like this. "That's why I didn't want to talk in the room earlier, I expected you'd scream like this."
Elisha sat back in his chair. "Sorry, I'm really surprised. I don't want to, but you know for yourself, the snake will still be a snake even though he has changed skin though. I don't want to take any chances when it comes to the safety of our family" Elisha explained.
"Yes, I know, El. But you know for yourself, getting pregnant is very difficult especially in the initial phase. Even though she's made a big mistake, but since there's Niko by her side now I'm calmer, I'm sure she can go back to how she used to be and start her life."
Elisha resuscitated his body on the back of the chair. For a moment he tried to think hard, he was afraid of making a wrong decision that ended in regret. It was enough that last night almost made him lose his spirit of life for the umpteenth time.
"I don't understand why you still care about that woman, even though I know you don't love her anymore but is she so precious?" elisha asked suddenly.
Reynald again let out a heavy sigh. "It's not like that, baby. It is purely because of humanity. I won't force you, I just relay Niko's request. I'll approve whatever your decision is now."
Elisha fell silent again, trying to think carefully before deciding. After a while, he looked back at his husband. "Alright, he's not going in bui. But I have another way he can't do anything to our family."
"What's that?" ask Reynald.
"He will be under house arrest, he will be monitored by the police. If need be I will hire people to keep watch around her house, this will only happen until she gives birth, after which the trial of this case will soon continue, I only obey the Constitution on the protection of women and children. If she doesn't want to stay behind bars, that's the only way" Elisha said, then sipped his coffee again. Reynald was flabbergasted when he heard the words of his wife who was like a lawyer.
