Hans should have gone home this morning to his apartment. But seeing Alea that morning keep vomiting, Hans so heartless.
"I'm why Hans, why do I get sick every morning and vomit?"
Hans did not answer Lea's question directly. The man was busy checking the pulse on Alea's arm. Hans glanced at Alea's pale face.
"Hans...?" Lea called Hans back. Hans put the stethoscope on the table. Then sit on the edge of the bed. Hans grabbed Lea's hand, as he stared at the woman. Dive into the turbulent feelings inside his chest.
"Lea, I have something to say about your situation"
"What's wrong with me, Hans?"
"You're pregnant Alea..... " Hans lirih said. He turned his face away not wanting to see Alea's reaction.
Hans thought, Alea would be as sad as she was. Hans hesitated to reveal the truth. But unexpectedly it turns out Alea's attitude is just the opposite.
"Pregnant ?" strange there was a feeling of joy in Alea's heart, thinking her face was suddenly cheerful.
Hans saw Alea rubbing her own stomach. "I'm going to be a mother" Alea's mild great-grandson
"Lea, you're gonna be a mother"
"I feel happy, Hans. There was at least a part of my past that followed me. I'm not alone"
"I was hesitant to bring this news, but you can easily accept it. Don't worry, Lea. .I'll stand by you"
"It's a shame I don't know who my baby's father is"
"We don't know whose baby this is. But I don't mind being his dad"
"Hans don't start again, maybe I'm married. He's out there looking for me"
"It could be, he's also the guy who hurt you, Lea" Hans was attacked by excessive jealousy. Unconscious talking about his worry that would make Alea hurt.
Lea fell silent with Hans saying, anything is possible. Suddenly Lea looked down, her heart was overwhelmed with grief. If only he could know who he was. Maybe he wouldn't be confused like this.
"Still nauseous?" Hans asked again after the two kept quiet.
"Not anymore, Hans"
"If you're not nauseous, drink your milk,
Leah. Little by little, try to finish. She needs good nutrition" Hans pointed at Alea's flat stomach with a smile.
"Thank you Hans, thank you once again" Lea's face so softly looked at Hans.
"Hey, don't be sad. I'll be back next week. We'll see the state of our baby at the USG later"
"Hans, she's just my baby" Lea felt bad about Hans' confession to her baby.
"I want to love him, Lea. Not wrong, is it?"
"Hans..."
"I have to get back soon. See you next week. Don't forget to take the medicine. Take good care of yourself" Hans said, ending his debate with Lea.
***
Alea looked fresher today, she wore a white jasmin floral canal complete with a long plain pasmina covering her head. The look is always beautiful, let alone her little lips on the polish with pink lipcream. Hans stopped by unwilling to blink when he saw Alea coming out from inside the house.
"I've made an appointment with Lita's doctor, she's the best obstetrician here. You just need to be relaxed and follow the doctor's orders"
"Yes, Hans"
Hans wasn't driving his own car this time, he was carrying a driver. Hans sat down beside Alea in the back.
"Slow down, sir!" Hans' orders to the driver.
Hans' car drove quietly to the road. The morning was still cool, as cool as Hans was feeling right now.
"Lea, after we meet Doctor Lita, I'd like to take you to meet someone"
"Who's Hans?"
"A very special person" Hans put on a smile. His heart was filled with joy.
Arriving at the hospital courtyard, Hans opens the car door for Alea. The two walked down the hospital corridor to Lita's doctor's practice room.
"Hans...?" Greet Doctor Lita, but the direction of Lita's doctor's view is fixed on Lea.
"It's Lea" Hans said as calmly as possible. "Lea's doctor Lita" Hans introduces the two. Shake hands with each other. Doctor Lita already knew who Alea was from the rumors that were spreading among the doctors. The woman Hans found
"We moved yes, in the check room!" Doctor Lita directs Alea to sleep in a special check gurney then closes the curtains.
Hans who actually wanted to be prevented by Alea and approved by doctor Lita. Hans walked back and forth in Lita's doctor's room. He was like a father waiting for the birth of his first son.
"Where, Lit?" Hans asked so Akrab and doctor Lita emerged from behind the curtain.
"Good, Hans. Nothing to be brushed"
Hans was relieved. Back to sit on Alea's side.
"Eating healthy, getting enough rest and routine check-ups. That's it Hans. The problem of nausea is a natural thing in early pregnancy"
"Thank you, Lit"
"Sure.., this is a recipe that must be redeemed"
After Lea's examination was completed, Hans invited Lea to a restaurant, of course Hans wanted to have lunch together with Lea. But before that, he had to see the director of the hospital first.
"You wait here, Lea, don't go where. I have to go to the director's room for a bit" Hans left Lea in his room.
Lea sat on Hans's chair, her eyes sweeping across the sizable room. Hans' private room as a doctor in this hospital. As he watched the entire room, the door opened wide. A beautiful woman with sneli came in. She's Rinda, the woman Lea met a few times in the hospital.
"Hi..." The woman greeted Alea kindly. "Where's hans?"
"Hans to the director's room"
"You're Alea, right?" ALEa nodded. There was a sense of awkwardness and also unease dealing with this kindly beautiful woman.
"Check Adam's doctor?" Rinda looked familiar
"My gynecologist's eight weeks old. I was pregnant before I met you, Hans. Hans and I had no relationship whatsoever" without being asked to explain, Lea said. It was heartless to see Rinda grieving like that. Leah stood up to Rinda.
"Rinda, can we be friends?"
"Lea, come....,Rinda?" Hans was surprised to see Rinda in his room.
"You busy, Hans?" Rinda asked looking at Hans softly. His eyes are full of love.
"I'll bring Leah to meet, mami" said Hans coldly.
"All right, I'm saying goodbye" Rinda looked at Lea and then said goodbye.
Rinda left Hans's room without looking back. This was not the first time Hans ignored his durations. But the girl could not turn away.
"Hans, why do you behave like that? Not polite. He was very friendly and kind" Alea interrupted. Hans didn't touch him. The man took Lea by the hand to get out of the room.
"Hans.."
"He's noisy, Lea. Come on, we'll meet someone who'll help you find your identity. But before that I'll take you to meet mami"
"Your mom, Hans. What's for?" Lea was really nervous. He did not dare to meet the person who had given birth to Hans.
"I want to introduce you, and ask for your blessing. I want to be her father" Hans pointed towards Lea's stomach.
Hans gave Lea no pause, the man grabbed Lea by the arm and asked her to walk. Hans was silent, not wanting to hear a rebuttal. Lea could only follow, to rebel she did not yet have enough courage.
Entering the courtyard of Hans's magnificent mansion, Lea grew increasingly shrivelled. His heart was pounding, nervous, afraid, also not confident. His position was too risky and weak.
Now Lea is like someone who's a suspect. Papi, Mami Hans looked at her from head to toe. Their facial expressions are flat.
"Pi, Mi, this is Lea" Hans said confidently.
"So this is what you're hiding from us?" Papi Hans exhaled his breath as if he was holding back from an emotional outburst.
"Yes"
"Mami sympathizes with what happened to you, Lea. Mami and papi are not angry Hans helped the affected person" said Mami Hans softly.
"But papi doesn't like it, you hide the facts from us. You got it, Hans? It's been a month, papi heard rumors about you and him. Don't squint papi's good name"
Lea had already started to seem uneasy, so had Hans. Hans knew his parents would not approve of his intentions. But Hans is not his name if not opposed.
"There's more Hans wants to say. Hans wanted to be the father of the baby that Lea was carrying" Hans said firmly.
Hearing that both of Hans' parents looked annoyed. Papi Hans stood up with a flushed face. Hans hasn't changed.
"But can't accept her being a daughter-in-law in this house. You can choose between us or the woman" without saying much, Papi Hans left the living room.
"Pi..." Call Mami Hans lirih, she also followed the steps of the husband. But many times he turned towards Hans while stepping.
Clearly the middle-aged woman's face was covered in cloudiness. It must have been hard for him to let go of the son. He did not want Hans to prefer other women than his parents.
Leah was still sitting, guilt raining down on her heart. He knew very well the hurt gazes of Hans' parents. All because of his presence. Lea looked down in tears. He was sad not because of Hans' parents' rejection. But he is saddened by the feud between Hans and his parents.
Hans glanced towards Lea. She knew her Papa's rejection made Lea sad. Hans clasped Lea's fingers as if to say "don't worry, I still choose you" Lea closed her eyelids, shed a clear grain.
Lea ran to shake Hans' hand. He feels very sinful. Hans chased after Lea who was already outside the gate. The woman was confused about where to go because she did not have a purpose.
"Don't tell me, let me take you somewhere more comfortable"
"Get your parents, Hans. Don't be a bad boy"
"Wrong, if I want to be happy with you? Mami and papi will definitely understand if they already know you" Hans gave Lea an understanding of her attitude.
"But not like this. You hurt them. Can't we just be good friends?" Lea sobbed, she was able to go this far just because of the kindness of Hans who had saved her. He himself had no more feelings. Even Lea was sure that there was someone out there that she really missed.
Hans smiled wryly at Lea's words. That woman is too innocent. At first Hans was purely helpful. But gradually Hans was fascinated and fell in love. Hans was willing to do everything of course because he wanted Alea to reciprocate his feelings as well. Good friend, what's in it for Hans...?
Hans rented a room for Lea to stay in. Initially Hans wanted to take Lea to stay at his apartment. Lea refused hard.
"Just rest and eat. I'm going out to see my friend"
"really?"
"Yes, you just have to obey me. Sleep, rest. I'll find out everything. Hm"
Alea blinked her eyes. He could not shake Hans hand that rubbed the top of his head. The intimate touch that made Alea uneasy. But Alea was already intimidated, Hans had to know her true identity. Alea was currently very dependent on Hans.
Lea nodded, she complied with Hans' wishes. He ate a serving of steak and french fries. After that, he cleaned himself in the bathroom.
Hans was in the lobby meeting his best friend. The person he was going to ask for help to find Alea's identity.
"How's Prass?"
"Easy, just take him to my place of work. I'll match her identity easily"
"You're serious, right?"
"certain"
"Well, tomorrow I'll take him there"
Pras chuckled, the problem about ALEa is of course very easy to solve. Hans alone made it difficult for himself. If only he had reported to the police, and with that provision he easily knew who ALEa was.
"I'm sure she's no ordinary woman, Hans"
"Sokay know!"
"From your attitude of course"
"I why?"
"Like a fool" Pras was delighted to see Hans' face flushed red.
"Damn it..."
"I have to go home. Remember, 12 o'clock is exactly what I'm waiting for. If it's too late I can't help you" Pras ended his conversation with Hans.
"Yes" Hans said annoyed
