"Mel.." call Clara when she sees Melia daydreaming. "What's wrong? What are you looking at?" clara also stared at the exit.
"So I met Mas Antara and Karin, Cla. They seem to be from the control of the content, Karin," Melia replied.
"Are you okay?" said Clara and Melia nodded quickly.
"Then what did the snake woman tell you? Did he curse you again?!" Melia again shook her head in response to Clara's question.
"Mas Antara told me to go home quickly, Cla. He can't even choose between us. Would I be selfish if I expected him to prefer me over Karin!" Melia exhaled into the air staring at the ceiling of the hospital corridor.
"Then you should go home now, wouldn't you at least like it if the order wasn't heard!" clara said again.
"I'm going home after checking my contents and driving you home. I'm gonna have him pick me today, Cla. I'd give up if he actually chose Karin" Melia said at length.
"But what if he chooses that woman? Moreover, she is pregnant with a child between. Especially until now you haven't told her about your pregnancy." Clara replied.
"I've mentally prepared myself for the worst, Cla. Even from far away, I've been sincere. And I was too disappointed with Mas Antara who didn't even notice my belly that looked bloated, Cla. Funny no!" melia replied with a sweet laugh. Melia laughed at her life as if toying with him.
Clara embraced Melia and gave her strength so that she could be strong to face her household problems. Clara could not give much advice because she was still facing a problem that was somewhat strange. Clara is confused because her baby's father wants to be responsible but without a marriage because soon the man will marry his fiance.

After checking the contents and taking Clara home. Melia finally reached her house and of course her husband was there. Seen from a car parked neatly in his yard.
Melia didn't go down to see her husband. He was still reading the doctor's words to him.
"Maybe Melia's mother can be more relaxed and not stressed. Pain in the mother's stomach is a reaction from the mother's body and this is not very good for the development of the mother's own womb, especially Melia said if the lower abdominal pain that the mother feels continues repeatedly. It could be the beginning of a miscarriage" says Dr. Rani.
"So my advice, Melia's mother can control the emotions of the mother well or can relax the mother's mind by going on vacation to a place far from the source of Melia's mother's problems" he said.
Melia exhaled before getting out of the car. She did not see her husband.
Melia finally went into the room she slept in last night. After changing clothes, Melia came out of the room and it turned out that there was Antara standing in front of her room.
Between grabbing Melia's hand and taking her into the room.
"I want you to choose, Mom. You choose me or Karin, I can't afford a marriage like this. Too much trouble if this relationship continues!" melia cried when Antara did not say a word.
Between seeing Melia with a frown. He did not like the words of his wife.
"That's not an option, honey. And how many times, I've told you that Mas will definitely choose you. Mas love the same you but you also have to understand that Mas must be responsible for the child conceived Karin. After all, the child was his son, Mas and the flesh and blood, Mas. He's innocent, honey," Antara said gently and slowly. He did not want to provoke the wife's emotions. And it will also make him feel emotional.
"Alright, let me decide if Mas can't choose between us." Melia let go of her husband's hand slowly.
"I'll back off, Mom. I can't hold this feeling all the time. It makes me sick and I don't want to continue to suffer because of it. I hope you understand my decision." Melia said softly yet filled with firmness in every single word.
"You don't be childish like this, honey. I love you and you know it's not! I will not let you go of my life, you are mine and will forever be mine. You can't leave my life, you can't leave me!" the word Antara that began to raise his voice.
"Yes, I'm still childish, Mas. Then let me go, let me go so I can be happy."
"Are you going to be happy without me?! Is your life that miserable until you want to leave me!!"
"Yes, I suffer, I suffer, Mas. My heart can no longer afford to share you with, Karin."
"But I don't love him, honey. I'll only be responsible for her son,"
"I don't just need your love, Mom. I need you completely, attention to your love. I need both and I don't want to share them with anyone, either,"
"You can't be so selfish, Mel. I did it also forced, I did it only for the child that Karin conceived, nothing more."
"Is making love to her also included in your responsibilities, Mas? That's so!" Finally Melia revealed the contents of the heart she had been harboring.
"I'm not sure when you make love to Karin there really isn't the slightest taste you feel, Mas. I saw clearly you enjoyed it and I'm sure there's already a sense of it growing in your heart."
"Alright, Mel. I don't want to talk about it. I'll be back tonight after the office. You stay home and don't go anywhere" Antara said firmly.
"Go to Karin and don't give me a reason to the same office you've been doing. My heart's been too sick for your lies all along, Mom. I'm tired and I want to put an end to this," Melia sat down after taking out what she's been holding.
"I'm not gonna let you leave me. You are only for me and you should always be by my side. I'm just doing what I'm responsible for as a husband, Karin. There is no love when we are together, there is only a sense of responsibility" Antara said.
"Sunday was sick and the doctor said her life soon, she had to stay strong and survive at least until she had her baby," finally Antara was honest with what she had kept.
"You still remember it wasn't about Karin's last condition when she fell! Her uterus was damaged when it happened and she did not want to let go of her child which resulted in her condition getting worse every day. I was forced to lie to you because I didn't want to hurt your feelings, my position is very much in a dilemma right now. Not only is your heart hurting, my heart is just as hurt as you are" Antara said.
"So you blame me for Karin's illness? And you also feel I'm selfish for just thinking about my suffering, do you?!"
"You're selfish, Mom. You never know what I've been feeling, you're thinking too much about your own suffering here. You've never been honest with me this whole time and neither have I ever pretended to be strong in our domestic life, our marriage is not healthy" he added.
When Antara wanted to approach his wife, suddenly the sound of his phone rang. It turned out from Weni the mother who gave the news if Karin suddenly fainted.
"WHAT!! Okay, between there now." said Antara and left Melia just like that.
The next moment between stopping and turning towards Melia.
"Sunday passed out, I have to go to the hospital right now," without hearing Melia's reply, Between
"Mas, there is a mother and her father who can take care of her. If Mas keep going, it means Mas prefers Karin. So now vote, me or Karin!" said Melia who made Antara stop and looked at the wife with a look of disappointment then ran back and left Melia just like that without answering the wife's question.
