Lovely Love

Let It Be

"Already blocked the number" said Nadine. "He'll keep interfering until he gets the address of this house."

"I never blocked a woman's number" Gerdy said as he sat leaning against the bed. "Means I'm avoiding them and that's not my habit."

Aunty Friska and Tarlita's problem is over. They can understand Gerdy's reasons and understand more as Nadine patiently enlightens not to burden her husband. They want to live quietly. 

Karlina's hanging. He could have been reckless to tell Gerdy's parents about this tacit marriage, even if the stakes of his own life were shattered.

Today a new problem arises. Katrin did not stop ngebel even though he was ignored. The meaning of the woman is actually good, only her way of thinking is unacceptable to common logic.

"I'm asking you to stir up your arrogance first" said Nadine. "Your wife has a problem with her brother. You must help resolve."

"Katrin can't force Mami and Prilly to go home" said Gerdy calmly. "They're comfortable living in our house."

"Katrin must have used Papi's hand to take Mami. And I can't do anything because Mami must have followed her husband's wishes."

"I'm surprised Mami is so obedient to Papi. She did not dare to oppose, let alone abandon her husband."

"The fire is the choice of his heart. My mother was married to another man. Mami insists on marrying Papi. So that's no matter how her husband treats her, Mami never complains because it's all her own fault."

"Mommy's pregnant first like you?"

"Bapi's not your asshole boyfriend. He changed drastically due to being a victim of betrayal. Since then he doesn't trust people anymore."

"Free, after falling poor, take a firm stance. Who cares?"

"Then he hung out with drunkards and gamblers. People who believe in bottles and cards."

"Papi and Katrin's work has gone beyond the limit. Mommy shouldn't tolerate."

"Mommy does not forgive the actions of the beast. But her heart must have melted when she heard her husband's regret. That happens often. One two weeks later Papi is so again."

"Do you know why I didn't block your sister's number?" look at Gerdy patiently. "I want your brother not to stop trying to get information from me so that all his attention is poured out on me. So your lives are not disturbed."

"Katrin can use various means to obtain information from you."

"You don't know your husband yet if you can be fooled by a woman's cunning. I'll stop being a man if that happens."

"All right, the evidence is you don't know that I don't take anti-pregnancy pills. Is that not a fool of his name?"

"I let myself be fooled. I want you to be my wife. So I took a shower and I let you make a choice. Well, this choice of yours I didn't expect, you chose me instead of Bradley, let yourself get pregnant."

"Bradley where to receive used goods."

"Love can understand."

"You too?"

"I don't expect you to be holy that day."

"I've loved you for a long time, so it's well-guarded my honor because that's all the pride I have."

"So you've been preparing to set me up?"

"Because I know who my future girlfriend is."

"Katrin is not a serious problem for me. I think more about Karlina. He could be leaking our marriage. I was thinking about being honest with my parents."

Nadine shocked. "You threw that thought away. This is not the right time to make a confession."

"I'm not sure there's a good time."

"At least wait for you to graduate."

Gerdy stared blandly. "What's different about now?"

"Are you ready to suffer? I see you're still tied to your extravagant lifestyle."

"I'm not meant to be poor."

"You'll be poor if you make a confession now."

"It's more painful if I make a confession after graduation. After all, I made a confession whenever you wouldn't be recognized as a son-in-law. I work to face that risk."

Nadine complained with a grim face, "I'm not worried about that actually. I wasn't ready to wade through life on my own with a baby in my belly. You can't come back to me."

"I'll come back to you no matter what."

"I'm not sure you can accept your father's ultimatum. I'm not sure you chose me over not being recognized as a child for a lifetime."

"I was more prepared by then. I encourage you to choose your parents. By then Prilly had graduated High School. He can help me support the family."

"Is it supposed to be like that?"

"I don't want you to lose your parents because of me."

Gerdy quiet. He was worried about his strength. She did not dream of Nadine being recognized as a daughter-in-law should she make a confession at this time. Karlina's existence as a future wife was a confirmation. 

Gerdy just hopes his parents aren't too angry about making a confession right now. He was very heavy to make a confession after graduation because by then his son was already born. 

"How about Karlina recklessly reporting our marriage?" look at Gerdy. "The risk is the same. I must have been ultimatum to marry Karlina, or to leave their lives."

"The evidence you have is too great to ignore, unless Karlina is out of her mind."

"He can be insane because of love."

Nadine blames her husband. "You're too fond of juniors like this as a result. I'm sure Karlina didn't get the satisfaction of Robby, so she chose you."

"I've made confessions many times. I haven't played with any woman since I decided to make you a wife."

"You didn't think to ask me at the time?"

"My hand climbing the twin hills just got slapped, you told me to ask?" look at Gerdy not believing. "Bulldog lodge can be removed all."

Nadine smiled slightly. "Then I came to the apartment to set you up to stop all that madness."

Gerdy laid Nadine down and crushed her. "You dare to trap me means you are ready to take the risk. I can do it ten times a day."

Nadine looked friendly. "I'm ready for fifteen."

"That means I'm in the room. What did you eat? I gotta make a living."

"I hold an account of five hundred million."

"That's the cost of welcoming our son later. I want you to have Caesar's operation, so you can stay right on me."

"I want your son to be born normal. I know how to stay right in you."

Gerdy removed his overlap and sat down on the edge of the mattress. "I'm making a confession now or later is just as risky. I want to make a confession tonight."

"I have no power to forbid my husband to make a confession. I'm just asking you to get some money for a taxi ride back to Jakarta, because you're definitely not bringing anything from the satellite town."

Doubt arose in Gerdy's heart. He was not ready to lose all the facilities. He looked at his wife seriously.

"I'm so bad about making a confession this week. Are you ready to accept that your husband has nothing?"

"No."

Gerdy looked disappointed. Nadine got up and leaned her chin on her husband's shoulder in a friendly manner.

"Why do I accept a husband who has nothing? Love also means not having. That's what my husband asked for."

Nadine kissed Gerdy's face gently. "I see you hesitate to lose your world. You better delay it if you're not ready."

Gerdy silently looked. The options available are very confusing. He lost everything to make a confession now. But can he let a parent lose everything by making a confession after the baby is born? Treasures are useless if self-esteem is torn apart! 

"My husband tonight is a lot of bullshit" said spoiled Nadine. "I'm so sad."

"How not to be sad?"

Nadine lay back down and smiled meaningfully. "He said ten? Just three."

Outside the room, Mimin seemed hesitant to knock on the door.

Mami appeared from the room and rebuked, "Why are you standing there, Min?"

"Banana steaming is ripe. Madam order tell me to tell."

"The lady certainly doesn't remember that. Let it. They're newlyweds. I just had a whole night not to come out."

"Mister and Master never went out a day ago. Aren't they hungry?"

"They eat love. So not hungry."

"Eating love?"

Mami smiled at Mimin. She certainly does not understand because she has never felt the beauty of being a newlywed.
