The message from Ridho, Tia ignored and instantly deleted. But it doesn't just stop there.
Ridho continued to try to get close to Tia. She even started sending flowers, and nameless chocolates. Then he typed up some beautiful lines of poetry to make it clear to Tia about her feelings, and he meant to send her the gift.
\*My folly in the past was to waste you
May you forgive me, please,
and accept my simple gift.*
Riddho.
Tia turned away annoyed at receiving the message. Because now he knows that the one who sent him the gift turned out to be Ridho. Someone he most wanted to forget in this world.
"Hiisshh! For what the hell, he's doing this again?!" tia's nagging while throwing flowers, and gifts from Ridho to the trash can outside the house. Tia's sullen face showed clearly that she didn't like the gifts.
"Why did he throw it away? What is less luxurious?? Or less expensive??" muttered a man who was watching over Tia's house from a distance. This figure looks so adorable when he sees the silhouette of Tia who is now seven months pregnant.
"The more days you are more beautiful, and adorable, Tia," he muttered not to look at the figure of Tia. This man doesn't even care if Tia still has a husband. His feelings for Tia were not easy to deal with. He was obsessed with Tia. Even He was determined to accept the child that Tia conceived as her own child.
The strange man who kept an eye on Tia was Ridho. This man even rented a house that was quite close to Tia's house, so that he could more freely monitor Tia's movements. Because He really felt like he would go crazy if he didn't see Tia for a day.
Like that morning. Upon seeing Tia throw away the gift from him, Ridho saw Tia coming out of the house to take a walk in the morning. With a simple negligee, the pregnant woman walked slowly down the complex. The smile on the pregnant woman's face made Ridho even more bewitched, and adored.
"You've been getting prettier since you got pregnant. Unfortunately your foolish husband cannot see this beauty of yours" Ridho murmured from behind the glass window of his car. Every morning Ridho watches Tia from his car which he parked not far from Tia and Hans' house.
The man kept a close eye on Tia. Befriending a glass of coffee in his hand, Ridho adored the beauty who was now walking to enjoy the morning sun. Occasionally Tia stopped walking, and rubbed her stomach affectionately.
"If only it were my baby," Ridho muttered increasingly looking terrible. His expression was filled with desire for Tia. Makes him look like a psychopath.
After finishing the morning exercise on foot, Tia did not leave the house again. Ridho was not calm. He wants to see Tia. She wanted to pamper Tia, and saw Tia's smile. As a result, Ridho makes another plan to visit Tia.
That afternoon Tia did not cook for lunch. He decided to take a break, and ordered lunch at his restaurant. But when someone knocked on the door of the house, Tia was shocked not to see the figure of the man standing before her.
"Riddho?! Why are you here?!" tia asked with an annoyed expression.
"Main. I happen to be free, and passing around here. I brought your favorite opor, huh! Come on, come on in!" pinta Ridho with a little force.
Tia just folded her hands in front of her chest. He looked at Ridho from toe to head, as if he was judging the adult man. It was obvious that Tia was uncomfortable with Ridho's presence. But the smell of chicken opor brought by Ridho made Tia swallow saliva.
"Why are you just silent? You won't let your guests in?" Ridhi asked back. Fishing Tia back from her daydreams.
"Huhahh. Alright. Just come in" said Tia with a heavy heart.
"Naahh, I see, dong. Thank you very much, Tia. This is your favorite chicken opor!" After being allowed into the house, Ridho handed a bag containing chicken opor to Tia.
The pregnant adult woman smiled happily to receive a parcel that gave off a fragrant aroma. Tia even had time to kiss the first plastic bag containing chicken opor. Before finally bringing it back to put in a better container.
Ridho silently gave a smile. She was happy to see Tia happy with her briefcase. That means, Tia's taste has still not changed, and she can still try to get close to Tia by sending her food, or her favorite item.
"Yes. I-i understand. Just let him enjoy the package," said Ridho with a smile.
She would happily wait until Tia finished eating the opor she brought.
As Tia spends her time eating opor, Ridho uses this opportunity to look around Tia's house.
The young man saw Tia still wearing the curtains, and the sofa with matching colors. Marking Tia is still loyal to her favorite colors. Ridho so feels he has hope to knock back Tia's heart. Because according to him, Tia's taste has not changed. Which means, maybe he's still on his favorite guy's list.
"Loh?? Why are you still here?!" Tia looks shocked to see Ridho is still in the living room of his house.
The grown man smiled happily. He quickly saved the phone he had previously used to take pictures of. Now he wanted to focus on talking to Tia.
"Kok, you say that, anyway? I just wanted to visit, and see how you're doing for a minute. Was that opor less pleasing to your heart?" asked Ridho in a soft voice as possible. This man put on a face to gain Tia's sympathy.
Women who are pregnant are not acting wrong. He felt bad for behaving that way to someone who came with his favorite hand.
"A-I'm good, really," replied Tia slowly. He sat on one of the sofas that was quite far away from Ridho. "As you can see, I am living a happy life and am pregnant with Hans's baby" Tia continued to comment on a happy smile.
This mature woman gently rubbed her already enlarged stomach. He looks so happy and at peace with his life at the moment.
"Yes. I can see that clearly. Of course you're happy. Soon you will be blessed with a cute baby," said Ridho unconsciously looking at Tia's stomach. The man smiled wryly, as if disappointed by something. Makes Tia again feel awkward being stared at like that.
"Ehem! You ..., you don't work, mas?" Tia tried to divert the conversation. He looked uncomfortable being stared at, and sat with Ridho for too long.
"No. I took a leave of absence. My head is dizzy from some very strange problems," replied Ridho putting on a sad face.
"Hmmm. Life is a lot of trials, it is patient. Sooner or later everything will pass" said Tia. As it had become a habit, Tia subconsciously advised Ridho. Inserting a calmness that Ridho had never felt before from others.
The grown man smiled a little. He was happy to get advice from Tia. Ridho felt that Tia still had sympathy for him, and still kept a little taste for him.
"Yes. Thank you very much, Tia," the smile on Ridho's lips grew wider. She was happy to be able to feel peace again with Tia by her side.
"Thank you you for not throwing me out. Thank you for opening your door for me. Excuse me. I.., I've been mean to you," said Ridho wholeheartedly.
There was clearly sincerity in Ridho's eyes. The man of today has really changed. At least in front of Tia. He wanted to create a good impression in the eyes of his ex-wife. Because he wants Tia back in his arms no matter what.
"Yes, mas. What has passed, let it pass. I won't hold a grudge against you" Tia said with a soft voice. The small smile on Tia's lips seemed to carry great hope in Ridho's heart.
Ridho silently cheered triumphantly in his heart. His first step towards approaching Tia was now proceeding smoothly.
"Thank God then. I'm glad to hear that. You are a good woman, Tia," Ridho said. This adult man unceasingly commented on his happy smile. Because being by Tia's side was something very happy for her.
"Then can I come visit again next time?" ask Ridho again. He still wasn't willing to leave. But this is his strategy to attract Tia's sympathy again.
Tia was silent for quite a while. This adult woman carefully weighed the best answer for Ridho. Tia understood, if she refused, Ridho would be determined. However if she instantly accepted, Tia was worried that Ridho would expect more.
"Why? No, no, huh?? Or.., I visited when your husband was home, too, no problem. I'm in need of someone who can calm the storm in my heart. And until now, only you can do it, Tia," Ridho added in a clear tone of voice.
Highlight Ridho's eyes full of supplications. A sense of tiredness, fatigue, and despair was clearly visible on his disheveled face. Seeing all this, there was no way Tia could resist it. Moreover, Tia was a woman with a soft heart.
"Hhhhh ...!" Tia breathed a heavy sigh. Then he said, "All right, Mom. You can visit again. But next time, it's better when Mas Hans is at home" Tia finally decided.
Women today can not think of any other reason to reject Ridho's attitude. Because men today look so pathetic, and need a partner to talk to. Tia couldn't bear him.
Ridho smiled happily. His heart cheered with joy. He actually managed to attract Tia's sympathy. Apparently Ridho's guess is correct, that Tia has not changed. His heart was very soft, and he was easy to sympathize with others.
"Yes. I-i understand. This is how I've been so grateful, Tia. The goodness of your heart I will never forget" said Ridho.
The adult man is standing. He was ready to leave. Today it was enough to get here the steps he would take to get close to Tia.
"Then I say goodbye, yes. See you next time" said Ridho as soon as he got out of Tia's house. He immediately drove away from his home on his favorite expensive motorcycle.
Meanwhile Tia sat daydreaming on the porch of the house. He thought back to what had happened between him, and Ridho until this second. Making him think back on whether the decision to accept Ridho as a guest was the right thing?
