LIEGE

COLD WAR

Ardian had just finished his bath when Erina walked into the room carrying a plate of warm cake and tea. Tumben, thought Ardian. Without reprimanding Erina, she put on clothes. Then he took a cigarette and headed to the balcony of the room. Just about to light her cigarette Erina rebuked him.

"Elo want our kids to have cigarette smoke poisoning?" tegur Erina ketus. Ardian had his intention to smoke.

"Tumben thinks of our children" said Ardian cynically.

"hey are. They are in my stomach. If they're okay, I'm hard too."

"Oh, so actually you're not worried about them. Elo just doesn't want to be difficult. Hmm. egotistical mother," said Ardian.

No more calling me you. Now they get back to talking to me. This seems to indicate Ardian giving up.

"The selfish elo. You said love me and our kids."

"Aren't you expecting their presence?" Erina speechless. "No need to care about them. I'm sure, after they're born you'll feel free from the burden for 9 months."

"Elo nasty, Di!"

"Worse, which mother would want to abort her womb or a husband who would speak the truth that hurts?" ask Ardian. "Not to be answered. Because according to you aborting the content of rape results is the right thing."

"But in reality, I'm not going to abort them!" erina won't lose.

"Elo doesn't abort them, but you don't care about them. While pregnant, Elo went clubbing. How is it different from now smoking? There is more cigarette smoke sucked by your nose. More toxic substances enter your body. Not to mention drinks...."

"You need to note, I DO NOT CONSUME ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES! You can ask Lexi!" erina replied with a furious feeling. Ardian accused him like that.

"Then you think taking our kids to a place like that is good? Joget-joget not because it's good? Rin, I don't want our kids to be contaminated with such things! Enough of us both to make such a mistake."

"In, they're still in the stomach! They don't know the outside world yet, they can't hear things that are outside my womb!" erina won't lose.

"Elo is wrong Rin. They can already hear our voices, they can already hear what's going on out here. And elo has introduced such a world to them!" said Ardian spicy.

Erina was stunned to hear Ardian's words. Not because what Ardian said was a fact, but Ardian's attitude and tone of voice were unlike the Ardian he had always known. There was no softness in Ardian's voice. There is only anger. Why is he so angry with me. Instead of arguing is the usual thing we do, Erina asked inwardly.

"Is it wrong to entertain myself? You never know how it feels like I don't want to live so bored. Mommy, elo, you guys always forbid me to go. You always forbid me to work. I can't live like this! You should know how I suffer if I am mostly forbidden to move. Why don't you make me disabled, so I really can't do anything and always depend on you! Or if you need a pair or chain!" This time Erina was really angry. He doesn't care if his voice sounds at home.

"Gue asked elo. What do I ever want to do? Nope! You just tell me to eat, take care of my health and check the contents. Pregnant women need entertainment too! I'm not a tamagotchi toy that just needs to eat and sleep." Erina left Ardian alone on the balcony. He went into the bathroom and there he screamed loudly.

Ardian slammed the cigarette he was holding onto the floor. Then he rubbed his face rough. For some reason since hearing Erina's conversation with Yuna about how Erina felt towards Daffa, her feelings were filled with anger and disappointment. Oh my god, is this difficult to have a marriage with Erina. This is just the beginning of marriage. Can I survive? Can I conquer his heart? Lord, give me strength and patience in this marriage. I want to be happy with him, with our kids. I really love him, but can I survive if he doesn't want to love me. Ardian sat speechless while staring at the twilight sky.

"Jeng Yuna, how are our children?" amelia asked as they had lunch together.

"Come on, jeng Amel. They still sleep in the room but their relationship feels stiff and cold. It seems they are having a big fight. The atmosphere of the dining table became cold because they did not greet each other. Even sometimes Ardian prefers to bring provisions for breakfast in the office."

"Jeng Amel must understand. Erina still can't seem to accept this marriage completely. Meanwhile, Ardian might start to feel tired trying to persuade Erina. In this case love alone is not enough."

"Do we need to intervene, jeng?" ask Amelia. "When you marry them, the fathers step in. It's time for us mothers to help them."

"Did Jeng Amel have an idea?"

"How about we ask Fatma for help?"

"Hmm. great idea."

"Di, how come you didn't bring Erina here?" amelia asked as Ardian stopped by for dinner.

"Erina has started to be active in ma's office. Maybe he's busy."

"You are an office. Why not go home together?" ask Arga.

"So he said he wanted to finish the Prince Building project that was delayed."

"Didn't the Hermawanto family cancel the cooperation?" ask Amelia.

"For a new project it was cancelled. But for the project that's already running is still continued."

"Who is the contact person from Prince Building?" ask Arga. Ardian shrugged his shoulders unconcerned.

"As a substitute for your father-in-law, you should know who the contact person is" said Amelia.

"Daffa," answered Ardian short. Arga and Amelia looked at each other.

"You don't mind if they meet often?" ask Amelia carefully.

"Ma, pa, Ardi's here tonight."

"Lho, your wife's coming."

"Erin wouldn't care if Ardi wasn't around. He doesn't need Ardi. He's gone through his morning sickness."

Ardian immediately climbed upstairs to his room. He was really tired of being born mentally because lately the burden of office work that piled up and faced his problems with Erina Moreover, he had seen Erina several times receive calls from Daffa. It seems like their relationship is starting to improve. Even several times Erina had lunch with Daffa on the grounds of reviewing the Prince Building project. Luna, Erina's secretary, did tell about the meeting. But as a wife, Erina should not be the one to inform or ask permission. Moreover, this went to meet with a former fiancee. Although the context for work affairs, still it can not be considered ordinary.

Ardian once wanted to discuss this with Erina, but his wife's attitude was getting colder by the day. It made him lazy to talk about this with Erina.
