Loving Prospective Sister-in-law

Speak From the Heart

Throughout that lunch, Dara's appetite was gone already. He could still feel Natalia's displeased look at him. Perhaps the woman thought wrongly of her relationship with Alehandro. Whatever it was he didn't want to create new problems for Alehandro and his family.

Alehandro and Mom Lusi were acting like nothing was bothering them about lunch.

Tightness was felt in Dara's stomach. He rubbed his stomach slowly while straightening his body.

"Sssshhh," hiss Dara was heard by Alehandro and Mom Lusi.

"You okay, Dara?" ask Mom Lusi. Dara nodded her head.

"But your face is pale we should just go home," said Mom Lusi. Ale, you help Dara walk while I take the Emperor," the middle-aged woman ordered.

"Okay Mom" replied Alehandro.

Alehandro then called the servant to pay for his food while Mom Lusi approached Natalia and took the Emperor.

"Why are you guys so fast, I still miss my granddaughter," Natalia said objected.

"Both are feeling tight around his stomach probably due to fatigue. We'd better just go home so he can rest."

"Woman is also living in your house?" ask Natalia.

"Yes" said Mom Lusi.

Natalia looked directly at her husband while Mom Lusi was busy carrying the Emperor.

"Yes, baby. I'd better go, I'm worried about Dara."

Mom Lusi immediately left the two men and approached Alehandro who was holding Dara's arm.

"Kok I don't want Alehandro to forget Maria so soon" Natalia said.

"He's a man who needs a life partner" Natalia's husband said.

"Are you going to marry another woman as soon as we go our separate ways?" Natalia looked at her husband.

"Depending," answered Natalia's husband, and a fight broke out between the two.

***

At night, Dara felt unable to sleep. His legs felt very sore and around the tail bone felt very hot. Various sleeping positions he tried but he could not get rid of the discomfort.

Dara finally came out of the room agitatedly. Turn on the television, rubbing his feet with eucalyptus oil.

She wanted to cry because she could not share her pain with anyone.

"Honey, don't make it difficult for mothers, we just hitchhike here, so don't bother people" Dara told her baby.

Alehandro, who could not sleep at night, was surprised to see Dara herself massaging her aching leg on a long sofa in the lounge. Sounds small.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" ask Alehandro.

Dara who was surprised immediately turned her face and saw Alehandro in front of her.

He wiped his tears and smiled.

"Nothing, I'm fine," said Dara.

"Your feet hurt?"

"A little sore but already delicious. I'm going to go into the room again."

Dara was about to lower her legs but Alehandro sat down next to her.

"Don't I'm fine," said Dara lying. However, Alehandro forcibly snatched the oil from Dara's hand and began massaging Dara's soles. Dara hissing sick.

"Your legs are swollen, it's severe Dara" Alehandro said.

"Later if my baby comes out will recover like before," replied Dara laughing while holding the back of the sofa withstanding pain.

"You and Mary are both tough women who never want to complain of pain to anyone." Dara looked at Alehandro.

"For what to make others worry as much as possible we should be able to make them happy. I always told her that" said Dara.

"So that guideline he got from you!"

"Not everyone is lucky to have a family or people who love, if we always complain it will make a burden for them."

"There are times when other people want to feel as meaningful to you as you mean to them. That they can do if you share your pain with the people you care about. It is not a burden but a form of affection and love."

Dara speechless.

"I'm used to feeling everything alone" her heart said.

"Then find the right person who can share your feelings with you. You know I feel like a useless husband to Maria. Until he died, he never complained of illness. He's holding all that by himself. I didn't even see his last moment and couldn't help him. If only he had said that he was very sick, maybe I wouldn't have left him" Alehandro pressed his eyes hard.

"I was angry at myself why she wouldn't trust me as her husband to be that pain-sharing place. I'm sorry that I didn't bring her to the hospital, twice she was very sick and twice I wasn't around her."

Alehandro's eyes turned red and he turned his face up.

"I feel small and insignificant to him" he added.

Dara lowered her legs and hugged Alehandro.

"Mary knows you're a good husband to her. His love is so great for you that he doesn't want to see you grieve. She must be very sad because she can't make you happy. I'm sure Maria wants you to smile and laugh all the time. There too, Mary kept expecting that from you, instead of seeing a crybaby who continued to mourn her fate and death" said Dara.

Dara then let go of her embrace.

"If I were Maria, I would say keep smiling and stay happy" Dara said.

"You're right he said he missed my laugh and smile before he died."

"The nature and behavior of the two of you are similar, it's just that Mary is calmer" Alehandro said.

"Because he was educated to be gentle while I used to live in the middle of the harshness of the world's life so that I was tough and what I was" Dara said.

"Thank you Dara, your words are able to calm my heart."

"You must rise up and look at the world, return again to be a pleasant figure and liked by many people. Always smile at everyone."

"Where do you know that?" alehandro asked in surprise, because he had not met Dara intensely. He had indeed seen it before in Surabaya but did not know it.

"Maria likes to tell me about you at length every day before I leave" Dara said.

Dara's stomach felt tight again. He's a little hissing. He held the arm of the sofa tightly while biting his lips.

"Because I'm afraid you're gonna give birth, we'd better get you checked out by a doctor."

"There is no sign yet if I want to give birth" said Dara.

"Do you know what the signs are?" ask Alehandro. Dara took a breath and let it out over and over again. After the pain disappeared a little he just answered Alehandro's question.

"Flek, the pain that has begun often comes for a few minutes and sometimes rupture the membranes," explained Dara.

"But your face is already in a lot of pain" Alehandro said anxiously.
