Love Does Not Come Too Late

Who are!

The atmosphere this morning at breakfast, was not as usual one full of Lea's chatter and Erik's smile.

Leah was more silent just talking as necessary. He was not angry because Erik said in a high tone last night for the first time, but for fear of making a mistake again.

Erik was the same, guilt overcame his heart to see Lea who had avoided eye-to-eye with him.

"Schedule check content again what day?" Erik opened the conversation, even though he knew when Lea should return to the doctor.

"Starting this month already have to check every two weeks because it's been eight months." Lea raised her face for a moment looking at Erik then lowered her head back.

"Next month is it time to be born?, and we haven't prepared anything yet?..god." Erik scooped his face rough.

He felt a little guilty for ignoring Leah.

"Sister Erik does not need to worry that I have bought through the online shop, there are still some things that only feel necessary."

"Later in the afternoon, wait for me to go home to our office to buy some more needs. You haven't been out for a long time, have you?" Lea raised her face nodding and smiled faintly at Erik.

"Sister, I'll let you out in the afternoon."

"Where are you going?, you're pregnant .. danger, if there's any need to wait for me."

"So soon, brother, I'll take a taxi online, not angkot so it's safe I won't achieve." Erik frowned, but eventually relented as he wished for Lea to come back a little more cheerful.

'Yes it's okay, but if you want to walk then infokan license plate number of the vehicle as well as the driver's photo sent to me yes .. don't forget." Lea nodded happily.

Seeing the wide smile that rose from Lea's face, Erik felt relieved.

After Erik left for work, Lea quickly finished homework and prepared to leave.

He had made an appointment with a psychiatrist who was found last night on his mobile search page.

After being in an online taxi, Lea immediately sent a message containing the license plate and a photo of the driver's face to Erik, which was immediately replied with a careful message on the road.

Lea observed the address and name of the clinic to be headed according to the online taxi driver he was riding, the destination was not how far.

Lea's heart was slightly beating, is it true that he went to the psychiatrist?

What will be examined later?, is it like a doctor examining patients?

"Here you go, ma'am, that's the clinic I'm looking for." An online taxi driver stops his car right in front of an ordinary house that looks quite large, but there is a separate door that says :

...dr. Lukman Lakshman, SpKJ...

...Psychiatrist Mental Health...

Lea was hesitant to see the word mental health attached to the signboard, am I crazy?

"Mom's on the list?" As she was about to retreat, a woman asked from the open door. Lea just nodded and went inside.

It has been a responsibility even though hesitant to undergo an examination, but because it has arrived what is wrong to try first.

After answering a few short questions about personal data from women who turned out to be physician assistants, Lea was welcome to enter the examination room.

"Good afternoon Star Mother Amalea?" greet doctor Lukman whose stature looks a little smooth for a man's size.

Her soft voice calmed Lea down quite a bit. "What do I call a star? or Amalea?'

"Lea, doc." doctor Lukman nodded with a smile and wrote something on his paper.

"How many months does Lea contain?.. I call the name is okay?"

"It's okay, doc. Eight months' road content."

"We sit there yuk, let's be a little more relaxed." doctor Lukman directed Lea to sit on a single sofa half-sleep that looks very comfortable. Doctor Lukman was sitting on a bench right next to Lea.

"What are Lea's complaints until you choose to come for a consultation here?" doctor Lukman begins the conversation.

"I don't feel normal."

"Not as normal as how it means, maybe Lea can give you a little explanation?"

" ... mmm .. sexual abnormality." Leah was so embarrassed to say that. I regretted not choosing a female doctor.

"Can you tell me what kind of sexual disorder you're having?"

"I can't touch my husband .. I mean if my husband wants to touch me to have sex, I feel very scared, my body feels difficult to move."

"Suami have been physically violent, hitting for example?" Lea shook her head.

"When did Lea feel this fear when she touched her husband?"

"From the beginning of marriage." doctor Lukman who was writing in his book, suddenly raised his head to look at Leah in wonder.

"Does your husband force you to have sex?" ask doctor Lukman while looking at Lea's large belly.

"We've never been ...." Lea's voice said that while throwing her gaze towards the window.

Doctor Lukman took a slow breath, then put a book and pen on his lap.

"Can you tell me about Lea's pregnancy?" Gentle doctor Lukman's voice rang out in Lea's ear.

Instantly her tears burst unstoppable on her cheeks, but without a sobbing heard.

"It's okay, let go of all. Whenever you're ready to tell a story .. I'll wait."

Lea's memory goes back to the night where Beni touched her body. Beni did not do it harshly, which made his heart hurt is a figure that he had always looked very good, a man with a family that looks perfect and harmonious, he said, the person he trusted after his father and mother could do heinous things to him under the pretext of love.

He felt as if one of the foundations of his life was destroyed overnight, plus the trail of events that night, he was currently carrying in his stomach.

All his life every time he saw his son he would also look at his past.

Slowly but surely the story of events slid from Lea's lips.

All the pain in his heart slowly went along with the tears that were spilling.

Doctor Lukman calmly and patiently listened and let Lea get it all out.

"Your husband knows who it is and how it happened?"

Lea nodded, "She was my friend before, so knowing I was pregnant she asked to marry me." Doctor Lukman nodded with a smile.

"What does Lea feel when her husband wants to touch her more intimately?"

"Fear." Leah's body gestures changed, her forehead shrunk with breath beginning to wince.

"It's okay, Lea, but your husband is being nice, isn't he?" Lea nodded back, her body looking relaxed again.

"See me Lea ...." Lea slowly turned her face to face Dr. Lukman.

"So much better now?" Lea nodded slowly.

"Well Lea, I don't need to give you any recipes, because you're fine. Moreover, you are pregnant .. You love your baby candidate?"

Hearing doctor Lukman say your future baby, Lea felt this baby was only hers, her heart warmed up rubbed stomach that already looks bigger.

"Stay focused only on your baby candidate, no need to think about anything for now. All you need is .. forgive yourself, and the most potent remedy is your child. I'm sure when your child is born, and you see your very cute baby slowly your fears and worries will go away."

"I'm not crazy, are you Doc?" doctor Lukman laughed softly at this.

"You're fine, Lea, just a sense of past trauma is still imprinting and it's natural. Not everyone who has experienced the same thing as you, can recover quickly and I think you are a strong woman so far. It takes process and time to really recover and it also needs the support of the closest people. If you don't mind, the husband's next consultation can be invited as well."

After a short conversation with doctor Lukman, Lea's mood began to improve and felt very optimistic to live the next days.

Doctor Lukman gave a business card and his mobile number if at any time Lea needed a consultation from home, considering the day Lea would give birth the closer he would not be able to come often.

While waiting for the online taxi he booked, Lea exchanged messages with Nina asking if Erik was coming home for lunch today. Lea said no because she was out of the house at the moment.

Before long the online taxi he ordered came and stopped in front of the fence of the clinic. Lea walked in on the back seat of the passenger while continuing to exchange messages with Nina.

"Who are you!" Lea jumped to hear a baritone sound from the direction of the driver's front bench.
