Married Bad Boy

113

Marriage is going well and happily. Now the only thing that Azri worried about was Widya's readiness to face labor. In anticipation, he had asked a gymnastics trainer to come and teach Widya pregnancy gymnastics to facilitate the labor process later. He was always worried whenever he heard the experience of some of his colleagues who were married and had children that childbirth was the most frightening moment for a husband and stressful for the wife.

Azri slightly reduced his busy work schedule as CEO to accompany his wife through her old pregnancy. Pradipta Group has returned to stable after a massive riot due to the seizure by GN Group. Now the company is back up, even more advanced than before. Apparently, Azri's tactics managed to attract investors and colleagues to join.

"Are you sure grandpa's coming back today?" widya asked as she went down the wide circular staircase covered in red carpet.

Azri walked beside him, leading him down the stairs. Her steps were so slow to compensate for Widya who had difficulty walking since her pregnancy entered the ninth month. Doctors expect the delivery to happen in two weeks.

"You've asked me a hundred times and I'll keep saying 'yes." Azri smiled.

"I miss him so much.“

"me too. Grandpa came home after hearing you were about to give birth this close. He wanted to be there when his great-grandson was born."

"Owh, he's a very sweet grandfather."

They had already arrived on the ground floor and walked slowly towards the main door to escort Azri. Today her husband plans to pick up Pradipta's grandfather at the airport. Widya who heard him whine wanted to come along, but Azri firmly rejected him. he promised to bring grandfather to this house so that Widya could immediately give a welcome hug and Widya could not argue anymore.

"Quick back. I'll be here with Bella. I've called him and he'll be here in a while" Widya said as they arrived at the front porch.

Azri looked anxious as the driver opened the car door for her. He looked back at his wife.

"I'm worried about leaving you alone. I can wait until Bella gets here.“

"Not to worry. Go quickly, you can't keep grandfather waiting." Widya encourages Azri to leave. The man sighed then kissed Widya's forehead to calm himself down.

"Take care of yourself okay, and.“ Azri bowed to his wife's large belly, "Listen to Dad, son. Don't try to freak your mom out while I'm gone. If you want to meet us, wait until Dad comes back, you'll be a smart, obedient boy."

Azri kisses her then kisses Widya's cheek once more before actually leaving. Widya laughed at her husband's words.

"I'm not going to give birth now. Didn't the doctor say the approximate time is two weeks away?"

"The doctor could be wrong, honey. I'm just anticipating. You dial my number right away if you feel heartburn or just yell at Ardi. He'll be taking you to the maternity hospital soon."

"okay."

Widya waved at her husband's car which drove away from home. Ardi, the head guard who had been on standby behind him, bowed as he passed by. He was waiting for Bella. During that time he will sit on the sofa while enjoying the fruits that the waiter has provided for him.

"Hey, Pretty Mom!"

Widya turned her head and saw Bella waving her hand then walked up to her in quick steps. Widya was very happy to meet him. Since he quit his job, he became difficult if he wanted to invite his friend to talk. Azri gave him a lot of tasks because Bella has been appointed as HR Manager.

It was not because of his closeness to the CEO's wife, but because of his hard work and dedication. At a time when the company was almost bankrupt and all employees were protesting, only Bella was loyal and in the front row to remain on the side of the Pradipta Group.

"Thank God you came quickly. I'm almost gonna call you." Widya hugged him.

"Impossible. I miss you, especially this little guy in your stomach. Is he active?" Bella curiously clings her ears to the large bulge in her best friend's stomach.

"Very active. I thought she was going to tear my stomach out of there," Widya said, showing a tired face.

The baby in the womb is active and always kicking, sometimes with a force that keeps Widya awake from her sleep.

"Next week or two. But that's just an estimate."

They then continue the conversation to whatever topics are entertaining for both. Widya felt like she was going back in time before she got married. Time with friends is always fun. Maybe the fun time will be repeated again when the child is born later.

"Widya, what's wrong?" Bella was suddenly anxious when she looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"You're sweating too much." Bella held out a tissue and helped Widya wipe her forehead soaked in sweat.

Widya had no idea why she was sweating this much. This was not sweat from exhaustion, but it was sweat that appeared every time he endured the pain or heartburn that wrapped around his stomach. Like this time, from when his stomach was squeezed very tight.

Actually this pain did not occur this time alone, but since morning he felt heartburn, but not as intense and sick as this.

"I don't know, Bella. But my stomach hurts." Widya hugged her stomach, her lips that a few minutes ago still looked fresh now turned pale.

"Oh my God, is it possible that you will give birth?!" Bella screamed while getting up. What else is the answer to Widya's pain other than heartburn from giving birth?

"You should be taken to the hospital immediately. Wait here."

"Bella!"

Widya was about to grab Bella, but her best friend had already vanished, leaving her alone who was struggling with all her might to endure the pain in her stomach and waist.

"Big, El-"

Widya groaned, she gripped the sofa cushion that was nearby when the pain stabbed like being pulled by dozens of needles at once. His breath was already stinged and his head was like being twisted around. The few maids who heard his screams instantly approached in panic.

"Mrs, are you okay?"

Bella soon returns with Ardi, they are drawn to the hostess. They immediately drove Widya to a car that was ready in front of the house. Bella accompanies him, never letting go of Widya's hand in the least while her best friend is struggling.

"Hold a few more moments. I know you're a strong mother."

With understanding Bella hugged Widya. He felt sorry to see Widya groaning with her body flooded with sweat. He did not scream, only whimpered while biting his lips.

"It hurts so much, Bella," whispered Widya hoarsely because of holding back the pain.

Bella grimaced as her hand was tightly gripped by her best friend, but she dared not protest. He smiled and then rubbed his forehead.

"I knew. But I'm sure the Widya I know can get through it. It's only temporary, remember you're so looking forward to your son's birth."

Those words made Widya feel relieved, she smiled and for a moment the pain seemed to disappear. "Thank you."

"I need to call your husband."

Bella directly hit Azri's number.
