Lunara's Heart

CHAPTER 89

“You said you wanted to talk last night, what to say?” Asked Arief who suddenly remembered Nia's words last night.

“Gak so mas” Nia replied gloomily.

“Why you?” Ask Arief again who is aware of the change in his wife's facial water.

“Yesterday I tried the test pack, and the result was positive” Arief immediately turned wide.

“But thank God semalem I did not say, because it turns out this morning I even came to Lunar” said Nia again added. It was clearly a disappointed look on his face.

“How come, anyways we're just getting married” said Arief a little entertaining. At first Arief was surprised, I don't know what he thought until the first response he felt like that, what because the presence of Lia made him hesitate to continue in this marriage? I don't know. But if Nia is really pregnant of course she will also be happy. Arief would not be that bad until he had to leave his wife and children for the sake of others, including Lia. Nia still looked pouted. Arief also approached to just wipe the head of the wife.

“Don't think too much, the child will be sustenance. When it is time, God will surely entrust it to us” Arief said gently without shifting the slightest hand from Nia's head. Afterwards Nia looked up to return Arief's gaze with a smile then nodded. Since his meeting with Lia yesterday who visited Bandung a day visit his parents' house. The days after Arief so often come home late on the grounds of overtime. This was believed by Nia. In fact, Arief went to see Lia to Jakarta every day after returning from work and back to Bandung. Every day is like that. Until a month later, Arief and Lia meet again at the place where they meet normally. The lake. A place that Arief would later introduce to Juan. It was also Juan and Luna's favorite place. In the afternoon, Lia urged Arief to come to the lake early and as soon as possible. As soon as he arrived, Arief found Lia sitting down.

“What's up? You why?” Arief asked as soon as he was beside Lia. Hearing Arief's voice, Lia immediately raised her face. He did not turn his head but his hand handed him a small flat object. Arief's hand reached out to pick up the thing. His chest was beating faster as his eyes that caught a two-number red line on the thing. Meaning...positive? Lia?

“Once my fetus is 3 months old, I will try DNA tests to know who his father” Revealed Lia. Arief seemed to think.

“What if it's Edi's son, we'll split up again?” Ask Arief.

“What if this is your child, you will leave Nia and be with me?” Instead of answering, Lia asked back to Arief. Sure enough, Arief immediately silenced with a heavy sigh.

“Iya” Uacpnya moments later. Lia looked at me in shock.

“Ka-you're serious? Don't you love Nia one bit?”

“I think staying with Nia will only hurt her. She's a good woman, every time with you or him. I feel equally guilty to you guys” Arief replied with guilt that indeed continues to smite his chest. Lia did not answer, deep in her heart she also thought of Edi. Not being selfish for leaving her husband. But he just felt as inappropriate and as guilty as Arief for betraying a good man like Edi. Holy hooch! They broke the hearts of two good people at once. But everything is out of their control.

“You why the hell mas?” Ask Nia between their breakfast activities. Arief jolted from his daydream.

“Hah? What did you say?” Tanya Arief.

“Why you? Lately it's been daydreaming, moody. Any problem? Or are you sick? Same story me, who knows I can help” said Nia worried.

You won't be able to help Nia. Please be too good like this. All of your treatment and attention is only killing me more and more in guilt. Arief sat down again in his daydream unconsciously.

“Tuh right you daydream again” said Nia harder to find her husband back silent.

“You need not worry, I really gapapa” He said again with a forced smile.

“Judah. But if there is any story yes mas” Pinta Nia with a clear face. Still with his forced smile, Arief nodded in response.

“Oh yes, if you can go home quickly yes, tonight I want to cook special. Yes we are romantic dinner once in a while”

“I do yes, later I will tell you again” Nia nodded slowly.

The tringg!

Arief quickly checked his phone which had just rang on the table.

The DNA test came out. We should meet today

As soon as the contents of the message that Arief received from Lia. His heart was beating uncharacteristically. He himself did not know what to expect. All he expected was, no matter what happened, not to let Nia or Lia get hurt. Enough of him. But whatever the DNA test results, Nia will still be hurt because Arief has betrayed her. His fingers then nimbly typed a reply message on Lia.

“I leave now ya” Nia immediately got up and kissed Arief's hand. Her husband seemed to leave in a hurry. But as usual, Lia with all her good prejudices only suspected Arief was having an important job this morning. In the afternoon, the door of Arief and Nia's house was knocked along with a man's greeting.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, Eh Kang Ahmad what is it?” Lia said as soon as she opened the door and saw a man like her husband who she knew as a friend of Arief's office.

“This was in the office of the boss for food because his son graduated from that school. Share the happiness. Arief how? Are you healthy?” He said while handing over the food parcel that Lia received confusedly.

“I mean kang? This is really until you take it, why not Mas Arief who brought it home alone?”

“Loh? Arief was sick he said this morning. This is why I anter here all through”

The deg!

“I'm sorry first yes, my wife asked to pick up the problem from earlier already awaited, greetings yes to Arief”

“I-iya kang, Thank you sorry ngerepotin” Nia replied with a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety. After greeting each other with Ahmad kang. Nia came in and looked at the food on the table.

No papa, just a lot of work. It feels tired and lacking rest

Suddenly Arief's sentence this morning shook back in Nia's head.

Is Arief lying? Butwhy?
