Alva takes Alana to her car. Erlan who was playing mobile phone slowly turned her head and immediately lowered her car glass.
"Have you arrived?" Erlan asked making Alva nod for a moment and said, "Let's go to Angga's place. We need to check on my son."
Erlan nodded her head while Alva opened the door for Alana. The girl slowly stepped in while holding her stomach and sat on me behind Erlan while Alva caught up with Arana. Erlan grabbed something from the passenger seat beside her and stretched it back to Alana who received it in a daze.
"What's this?"
Erlan immediately returned and started running his car. "Food. I brought it on Alva's orders. I've got to go all the way here to find your favorite food."
Alana slightly frowned, opened the package and found a pack of grilled meatballs and a pempek. "Where did you buy it?"
"It wasn't bought. My boyfriend made it because he happens to love cooking, too."
Alana frowned deeper and put the package to the side. "I don't want to eat. After all, I only believe in its cleanliness if the one who cooks is the chef. I'm pregnant, what if food like that harms my baby? Does your boyfriend want to take responsibility?"
"It's lucky my baby survived after I drank. Hiro breng*ek was tricking me that my baby didn't survive. I'm almost crazy, goddamn it! I will definitely reply to Hiro later!"
"Eh, it's not like that. The food is clean, okay." Erlan said in an unpleasant tone.
Alana snorted while Alva smiled and rubbed her head. "Already, already. It's okay if you don't want to eat, then you can eat whatever you want."
Alana slowly regained her composure before nodding her head. "Tell Erlan not to bring such things again."
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Alva made Alana smile.
"Good."
A few hours later, the three arrived at Alva's apartment. Erlan who had no business immediately parted and returned, leaving Alva and Alana in the apartment. Alva draped her suit over the sofa while she slightly stretched her body. Alana behind him observed the features of the apartment and snorted a little.
"Good, but still less spacious and luxurious. I have to live in a place like this?"
"Darling, what's dinner today? I've missed your cooking."
Alva's words made Alana slightly stiffen.
"Fuck arana, did he cook? I can't cook, if I do, won't Alva be suspicious right away?"
Alana stepped closer, sat down next to Alva and leaned her body against Alva. "I'm too tired to cook today. Honey, just order, okay?"
Hearing Alana's words made Alva nod and smile. "You must be tired from the long journey. Sorry I'm insensitive, huh? What do you want to eat? I'll order for you."
"Whatever to you, baby. For me, just order a salad."
"Salad only?"
Alana nodded her head. He's in a period where he has to keep his diet or his body will widen and he won't be perfect. Alva then nodded and started ordering food. The two of them then ate together, bathed alternately and then slept.
Alana lay with satisfaction in her bed. He looked over and looked at the figure of Alva next to him. Perhaps due to exhaustion, the man went to bed early. Alana looked at him for some time before grinning.
A good man who loves her.
"You know, I'm going to marry her from the beginning. Now, I'm even pregnant with that wedge*an boy and even Arana's pregnant with Alva's child. I even had to readjust myself, because I didn't know much about what Arana was doing. From my mom's story, I know very little."
"I should try to avoid meeting a lot of people."
Alana rubbed her face and stared intently at the large photo attached to the bed. "disgusting. I have to take that photo off tomorrow."
...***...
Arana looked at the view from behind the window. Her pair of sweets is a little bit jaded. But Arana did not lose the slightest bit of confidence that she would soon be able to get out of this place. It had been a week he was in a building that he knew was on an island that actually belonged to Alana. Of course that's the story of someone Josh hired to take care of him as long as the man wasn't around. After all, Josh was also aware that he would not be able to take care of a pregnant woman alone.
Arana.
The woman in front of him, a brown-boiled woman with her accented mole, is a nanny employed by Josh. Not a real nanny, but the woman really helped her in taking care of herself while she was there, helping to organize her healthy diet and helping her prepare her needs.
"Thank you Lisa."
Arana received the medicine given by the woman. Arana knew what medicine it was, just vitamins to strengthen her pregnancy. Arana also often drank it on Arletta's orders. Arana downed the medicine and then calmly returned the glass to Lisa who received it and put it back on the tray.
"Miss, please be patient."
Lisa spoke in a flat tone that made Arana look at her. But the woman stepped out and closed the door, leaving Arana speechless on the bed. He breathed and looked straight ahead. Arana doesn't need to be pitied, she just needs to be released and get back to her normal life.
He looked at his finger.
There was a faint trace of the ring, only a faint trace because indeed Arana had not used it for so long. Arana rubbed her ring finger with a faint look. When she regained consciousness, the wedding ring had already disappeared from her finger, and Arana was sure it was in the hands of the owner. Arana sighed and stroked her distended belly covered in white pliable nightgown.
"Baby .. if we live together, away from everyone .. will you understand when you grow up? Will you understand what you're going through, and will you forgive me for putting you in this situation?"
Arana's a little down. "I'm sorry, son."
...***...
The long corridor was in a tense atmosphere. None of those who sat and stood dared to open their voices first. Alva sat on a bench, looking straight ahead with a pair of sharp and firm beads. Alva put her hands together, hid her pair of eyes and expression into the folds of her hands and lowered her head.
The sound of the door opening beside him made the attention of the people there immediately diverted. "Dok, how?"
Arletta was the first to ask the doctor. Right after the delivery room door opened. The doctor removed his mask and nodded his head with a smile. "Cesar's operation went well. However, with a heavy heart I must say that Miss Alana is no longer able to get pregnant. The contents were forced to be lifted along with the baby, because his safety could be threatened if he became pregnant again. We've also received consent from the patient's parents and the patient himself, so we've managed to remove the contents."
"The patient will be moved to the treatment room while the baby is being examined by the nurse and will be taken to the baby's room afterwards. Only you can see him for a while. Excuse me."
Arletta sighed and smiled full of gratitude to the doctor. "Thank you so much doctor!"
Angga patted the doctor's colleague on the shoulder and pulled him to chat about some things. While Arletta sat next to Alva and rubbed his shoulders with the look of affection of a mother.
"Nan wants to see it, ma."
Arletta smiled and said in a soft voice. "Go, Nan."
...***...
Standing near a baby box, the pair of black beads looked at the tiny baby lying comfortably in the baby box. The faint movements that the baby did, and the slow crying that it released. A beautiful, fragile and weak baby. A baby that makes anyone want to protect her and wants to hold her.
Alva looked at the baby with a flat look. There was no expression of happiness, no expression of joy and affection of a father. Even as the baby squirms and cries, his gaze is unshakeable and he even pockets his hands into his pocket and breathes coldly.
"Poor child, who had to be born from the wrong woman's womb."
He's a little slouching. "If you were born to the woman I love, even if you weren't my daughter, I would love you with all my heart."
"But..." Alva paused her voice and her tone became increasingly cold. "I feel like I even want to kill you right now so that your mother loses her mind and goes crazy. It should be karma for him."
Alva looked at him coldly for a few seconds before turning around without even touching the baby in the slightest.
"After all, you may never get to know your mother again, later."
"Because of me, it will soon destroy them."
