LIEGE

MELLOW

Erina flinched looking at Ardian's attitude that night. A different attitude than usual. Erina had thought Ardian would persuade meekly as usual. But not tonight. Of course Erina was astonished to see Ardian's indifferent attitude.

Ardian always said he was sorry for his actions. He also always expressed his love for Erina and their children. Then why is he not like he used to be tonight. Does he regret marrying me? You know, but this marriage was his will from the beginning, not my will. The moment he regretted it now? Various thoughts raged on Erina's head.

Meanwhile Ardian who had been laying down on the sofa tried to close his eyes. He was really tired today. After a romp with time for paperwork, work and many other things, Ardian thought today's wedding wouldn't be too tiring. But it turns out the estimate was wrong.

Erina's words and attitude had not changed. Even the woman did not show her empathy for the fetus in the womb. The rejection after rejection that Ardian had to experience from morning to night was completely draining his energy. Ardian realized, the real struggle has just begun.

What if until their child was born Erina did not change? What if Erina could accept the presence of the children but then decided to ask for divorce and custody of their children? Various questions again haunt Ardian's mind.

Ardian has admitted to loving Erina. The presence of their baby in Erina's stomach adds to her love. As a legitimate husband in the eyes of law and religion, Erina's attitude that does not appreciate it causes disappointment that is quite deep in Ardian's heart. Now in the midst of the exhaustion of inner birth, Ardian began to think really about his decision to marry Erina. Being a husband and father is not a game. This is a responsibility that will be carried to death. Can he take on this great responsibility?

A couple who were supposed to enjoy the happiness of the first night, were immersed in each other's thoughts. They are busy making assumptions. None of them could rest in peace.

Erina who was still sitting on the bed was disappointed with Ardian's unusual attitude. Meanwhile, Ardian is busy questioning his decision to marry Erina.

By 12pm, Erina got out of bed. He's approaching his desk. His stomach suddenly asked to be filled. Meanwhile the real Ardian was still awake, not caring about Erina. He put his arm over his eyes, but his ears remained well-fitted.

Erina sat in her chair. Milk, vitamins and snacks are available. Slowly Erina's hand stroked her stomach. He has not been 100% receptive to their presence in his life. But he also did not deny that currently in his womb there are two lives that depend on him.

"Why do you have to be present at the wrong time?" whispered Erina while stroking her stomach that had started to round. "If only you were present because of love, it would be different. Forgive me for not being able to love you yet."

Without Erina noticing, Ardian heard her words and without feeling Ardian's eyes warmed by tears. I don't know why that night Ardian felt more sensitive than usual. Ardian did not expect Erina to say those words. It turns out that Erina still has empathy for the fetus in the womb even though the attitude shown so far says otherwise.

Meanwhile, Erina slowly drank milk and vitamins and ate snacks that had been provided. Ardian from a distance. The man fell asleep quietly. With that man he will spend his life. Can he live a life with a man who has taken away his chastity? A friend and a man he hated. In recent days, it is undeniable that the gentle and sweet nature of Ardian touched his heart even though hatred was more controlling.

Had Ardian not done that, it is not impossible that he was able to open his heart to a man who is always ready when needed. Doesn't comfort matter more than love? Aargh.why is all this so complicated. Should I accept him as a friend even if I don't love him? Although it all started with a mistake.

Erina walked over to the sofa. He could see how uncomfortable Ardian was lying on the sofa. Should I tell him to move to bed? Has he shared a bed with this man he hates? What if it happens again? But Rin, he's your husband. He is entitled to himself. Erina's mind and heart were busy arguing.

Meanwhile, Ardian still pretended to be asleep even though his feelings were not good when Erina approached and looked at him. What is Erina going to do? Is he going to beat me up or maybe kill me? Horror thoughts appeared in Ardian's head. What the h***, if indeed it can dispel the hatred in his heart, I am ready.

"In, wake up." Erina hesitantly shook Ardian's body. But Ardian did not wake up. Several times Erina shook Ardian's body.

"Hmm... What's wrong? Why aren't you sleeping? Is anyone sick?" ask Ardian who pretended he just woke up.

"Don't sleep here."

"meaning?"

"So sleep in bed." Ardian's heart was very happy to hear Erina's words. It just so happened that his body began to feel stiff due to lying on the sofa.

Ardian obeyed Erina's request. With light steps, he moved to the bed. Unexpectedly, Erina stepped into the door.

"Where are you going?" Ardian immediately stood up from the bed and held Erina's arm.

"Oh no's... Can't be like that. We're husband and wife. We shouldn't have split up the room. What do people say if they know the first night we split up the room." Ardian was still holding Erina's arm.

"Gue think they will understand" said Erina with a flat face.

"Then let me sleep on the couch. As long as you don't move rooms. You are my responsibility. What if at midnight you get something? What if you suddenly go to the bathroom?"

"Gue's pregnant, not disabled. If it's just a matter of going to the bathroom, I can do it myself without having to be helped. My stomach is not big yet. I still move freely. No need to be lebay."

Ardian was only able to grin while scratching his head realizing that what Erina said was true. It was lebay. But he wants to protect Erina and is always ready when needed. He had promised to be a husband on standby even though he had to face Erina's ketus attitude.

"Please don't move rooms" Ardian said. "I promise I won't mess with you unless you ask."

Erina's eyes auto glared at Ardian's words. These are pede people very. Who would want to be so damned like him.

"Don't be that smart." Again Ardian just grinned. At least the atmosphere was not as I was and they did not have to separate rooms.

Erina took Ardian's hand off his arm.

"Where are you going?" ardian asked quickly with a worried tone.

"Gue wants to pee. Wanna come?" Ardian looked clumsy at Erina's words.

After completing her wish and ablution, Erina performed Isha prayers. It was late, but rather than not. While Erina prayed. Ardian patiently waited while sitting on the sofa.

"What do you want tonight? Let me buy it." asked Ardian after Erina got into bed.

"Elo shirking, huh? It's been half an hour and a half a night" Erina said in surprise.

"Lho, who knows pregnant women crave something. As a standby husband I will try to fulfill your wishes."

"Not to be lebay. I just want to sleep. I'm tired."

"Okay, now you're falling here. I'll just go to sleep after you sleep."

"Geez, don't be so great. Sana elo also slept. Tonight you can sleep on that side. Watch out, don't cross this roll if you don't want me to maegeri tomorrow we're shopping for the sofa."

"Make what? Do we want to move house until we have to buy a sofa? Can't you wait to stay with me?"

"No need to ge-er. I want to replace that sofa with a sofa bed. So you sleep there. Oh yes, tomorrow we have to discuss about the rules of living in our household.

Apeess.. Ardian grumbled in his heart. What to do on the sofa. Then what rules will be made by Erina. It would hurt him as a husband. Patience tong, you have to keep mingjomblo even though I am married.
