Love Does Not Come Too Late

Maaf

"You're outrageous mas!" Devi walked in while slightly slamming the car door just to vent her frustration.

"You're why!" Beni glanced at his wife in annoyance. His heart that had been hot when he saw Lea hugged Erik at the funeral, now plus must serve the anger of the wife.

"You are what's why!, in front of me you dare to look at him like that .. Can't you keep a little of my feelings?" Devi was still staring at Beni sharply with the look of her injured eyes.

"You yourself already know that I want to marry Lea .. Why should you be surprised now?" beni replied casually while looking towards Devi.

Beni's attitude looks like she is challenging him, especially plus a small grin at the corner of her lips.

"The woman is married if you forget the mas" growled Devi.

"There's no need for you to say I already know .. and it's all because you ruined everything!" Beni's smile disappeared instantly replaced by a frown on his forehead.

A bit rudely he started the car and took it to the side of the road.

Perhaps in the eyes of others Devi as a wife looks to have no self-esteem, or just fear of losing property if no longer a wife Beni Prasojo.

But that's not what makes him survive, he wants to maintain his marriage only for the right he has to get to his two young children.

Not a few stories that he heard out there, a father willingly left his children, for the sake of a new woman.

Even the father is more concerned and affectionate with the child, than his own biological child.

It was very disturbing her mind since her husband said he wanted to marry again.

...🔸️...

"His tea is in the sis' drink, it's still warm." After putting a cup of tea on the table Lea sat down next to Erik.

Lea and Erik were at home enjoying the atmosphere in the afternoon.

It has been about two weeks since the departure of his mother and Lea has sincerely accepted the reality.

"When does the schedule check again?" Erik glanced at Lea's stomach which started to look slightly prominent while sitting.

"Date twelve tomorrow, brother Erik can deliver?" ask Lea.

"It has to be okay, I'm a standby husband." Erik showed a big smile. Lea giggled at Erik's smile.

For a moment their gazes were clinging to each other. Erik looked at Lea with a soft look in his eyes and Erik slowly lowered his head towards Lea's face.

Erik's eyes were almost closed when his face was right in front of Lea's face, Erik's breath hit his face making him suddenly aware of the situation that would happen.

Erik will kiss her. Lea's eyes immediately blinked, then she reflexively turned her face away from Erik's lips.

Erik who realized when his target was no longer right in front of him, re-enforced his body while taking a slow breath.

Lea also fixed her seat clumsily. Indeed, he did not deliberately dodge but somehow his body seemed to refuse the touch of an Erik.

"Sorry" Lea's great-grandson slowly.

"Eh? .. ga nothing, I understand how." Erik tried to smile even though he felt stiff from a little embarrassment.

Not this one time his touch as a husband was rejected by Lea.

"Eehm .. I went to the kitchen first brother." Erik only nodded at a glance while smiling awkwardly.

Lea felt guilty and uncomfortable lingering beside Erik.

They have been married for almost two months but let alone having sex, kissing they have never done.

Their physical contact is simply to embrace, hug and kiss the forehead for a reason.

Just like when Lea cried, not because of something romantic.

In the kitchen Lea just stood pensively in front of the stove, her mind still lingering in the living room with Erik.

"I'm sorry brother, I still can't. I realize if this is so wrong that even I'm so sinful that I don't give you the right to be a husband. .. How should I?"

Meanwhile Erik who was still sitting on the living room sofa, was busy with his own thoughts.

Recalling their marriage which was only two months old, and during it was not that he had never tried to be more intimate with Lea.

But each will be approached like before, Lea's body stiffened even refused even though subtly.

"I'm not a hypocrite pretending I don't want a proper marital relationship.

I'm also a normal guy who wants that when you're married, but I realize I'm the one who asked you to marry me and I've promised to accept what you are ... it's okay Lea. I can still be patient, you just need time." Erik spoke inwardly to comfort himself.

...🔹️...

"Will I redeem the recipe you wait here or come?" ask Erik.

The two of them had just finished checking Lea's content.

"Follow it, so we can go straight home, brother Erik doesn't need to go back and forth here."

"Let's go." Erik held Lea's hand.

They walked down the hall until a tall woman was walking towards them.

From a distance Devi was actually able to see Lea and Erik walking towards her. Only the two of them had not been fully aware because they were engrossed in chatting and joking.

Lea who saw her boss' ex-wife walking towards her, somewhat slowed her pace.

His eyes searched for the figure of the man he had avoided the most, yet he did not find the person at all.

"Who's sick?" devi asked as soon as they passed.

Lea and Erik looked at each other confusedly, "Ga someone's sick mom, just check up on health." Erik.

"Check contents?" Lea and Erik looked back this time there was a sense of worry and fear between the two.

"That .. the check room at the end of this hall is just a gynecologist's practice .. You're new from there right." Devi pointed at the check room that was at the end with her eye gesture.

"Heehehe .. new initial examination, want no one to know first." Erik answered.

"Congratulations .. at what age?"

"Mmm .. five weeks .. Is it true that he was five weeks old the doctor said?" Erik asks for support from Lea.

Lea just nodded not saying anything. Actually, the age of the content of Lea is now at the age of three months, but they agreed to cover it.

Bu Devi's aura really made her feel dwarfed, with a tall body and a proportional body shape. A pretty face with enough makeup strokes, her clothes are always up to date making Devi very perfect in Lea's eyes.

Inexhaustible thought of what makes Mr. Beni not grateful and still want it.

Sometimes the greedy nature of humans dominates if it is in the position above.

Feeling everything he wants he can have, feeling confident with wealth, popularity and position.

Without knowing not everyone can be glared with worldly advantages.

Lea felt Devi's eyes staring at her sharply, and scanned her body from top to bottom and then back up like she wanted to strip her.

"We're ahead ma'am, excuse me." Erik pulls Lea's hand past Devi.

"Na .." Still not far around five feet away, Devi called Lea back.
