Not Ordinary Love
A Story That Must End



"Bak came here to look at you, not ask for a gift." said Selin when the woman was being fed competitiveness by her in-laws. Zoya looked at him in annoyance, then muttered after her food ran out. "Yes. I know. But still, I haven't given Miss Selin a wedding present."


"No need, Zoy." subtly reject the woman. Freya who witnessed that just smiled. He tidied Zoya's dinner plate. He came and will stay overnight to take care of his new son-in-law since yesterday coming home from the Hospital. Also comfort the woman so as not to daydream much.


"Must, Ma. I have to give you the same Randy wedding gift. Don't want to know if it should be accepted." Zoya is a stubborn and forced Zoya. Selin should have realized that he would not be able to refuse Zoya's gift.


"Just a honeymoon doang ticket." half annoyed. Almost made Selin curse him if there was no Freya. Is sick but still can - usually yelling annoyed.


"Well, take it, okay. It's a complete package, I'm ready from the hospital. Not kasian?" Zoya put on a face. So Selin finally nodded with a smile, then hugged the woman.


There was pity in his heart, but the woman was very sad. But Selin knew Zoya, she was a strong woman.

"Darling, I'm home."


Zoya who was in the main room and was reading a book accompanied by Freya turned her head. Smiling welcomes her husband.


"Home home? Randy coming?" the tan was in a row after Ethan landed a brief kiss on his forehead. Ethan nodded. "Mbak Selin just came home." he told her that it was only a few dozen minutes ago Selin said to go home after half a day with him so as not to feel bored.


"Oh, yeah?" Ethan asked seriously.


"Heem." she subconsciously took the husband seriously. Ethan just smiled. His eyes glimmered at Freya. The mother should be here now to discuss the four-monthly event that this week will be held. Or it should have been talked about in the Hospital and now everything is 100% in order. Well, if the accident that took the life of his little angel didn't happen.


"I have something for you." said Ethan after a long time just silence and rub the back of Zoya's hand repeatedly.


"Something? What's?"


"Surprise!" Randy appears with a large bouquet of flowers in his right hand and a paper bag in his left hand. Followed by Rival behind him who just finished taking care of Kevin's case, forced to come to Ethan's house because Randy said Naina's cooking is very good. Rival was curious and wanted to try.


"This what?" zoya asks after Randy hands the two gifts to her by bending one knee like a true warrior, as if Zoya is the Princess in a fairy tale country. Zoya's forehead wrinkled when she found three jars of almonds in the paper bag.


"Make what?" tanyakanya.


"Well, I want to, I guess you'll love it." said Ethan without telling the truth if the almonds he deliberately bought to speed up Zoya's recovery post-surgery.


"Thank you" he said to the man, Ethan nodded, rubbing Zoya's head gently.


"Sir Zoya, dinner is ready." a cry came from the kitchen. Before long, Rival saw Naina appear, the gaze of the two had met a glimpse before finally the girl who first brushed aside.


"I'll go home, Dad." Randy came out, there was nothing to prevent because everyone knew. Understand, newlyweds.


That night, the dining table at Ethan's house with Zoya is filled with five people. Rival confirmed Randy's words, he praised Naina's cuisine which is delicious and also fits on her tongue.

The time is 22:04 when Ethan goes down the stairs to pick up his wife who is still chatting with Freya and Naina in the main room.


"Udah malem." he said, Zoya who understood then rose from her seat, reaching Ethan's outstretched hand before her.


"Than, inget, yeah. Can't yet!" Freya.


After that, Freya and Naina also disbanded because it was time to rest.


**


Ethan and Zoya lie with their bodies on their backs and their eyes fixed on the ceiling, busy with their minds. Before long, Ethan tilted his body, staring at the wife from the side. It only took a week to make his wife's physical appearance different.


That woman wasn't quite that full a week ago. Ethan picks something up from the table by the bed, then he grabs Zoya's fingers resting on her stomach. The woman turned her head as Ethan put their wedding ring together.


Zoya smiled, with a hint of sadness in her heart seeing the ring fit so well on her ring finger, just like the first time she wore it. Though one week ago the ring made him uncomfortable because it was so narrow.


"Thank you" she said to her husband after staring at the ring. Ethan nodded his head. For a long time both of them were silent, but the distance between them was eroding.


Slowly but surely, Ethan grabs the woman's chin. Pasting his lips long, moving surely, slowly - slowly and deeply.

Six Months Later.


Zoya knows she can't get late in her grief. It has more than one support system. Especially Ethan, the source of energy, happiness and strength for him.


After six months passed and used to living his day with the happiness that Ethan always created, today he invited the man to buy a birthday gift for Freya.


Ethan could not refuse his wish, so he took a leave to accompany his wife.


"Where else?" ethan asks once the reward for Freya has been successfully earned.


"Mm, go first. All of you have taken a leave of absence, dear if you go home immediately." he said, Ethan nodded, grasped his wife's hand and then continued his steps with an occasional laugh with the topic being discussed.


Ethan talks at length about the random incident experienced by Randy tickling the stomach, which is, but Zoya's focus has been diverted to the baby supply store that she visited six months ago and Ethan when going to buy a dress to attend Selin's wedding with Randy.


Supposedly, at this time he and Ethan stepped in there to buy baby necessities because soon he would give birth. But in reality ..., Zoya felt her flat stomach with a slick smile.


Ethan who saw it was just glued. "Honey," Gently touched Zoya's shoulder.


Zoya looks at her husband and spontaneously smiles, indicating that she is doing well and Ethan doesn't have to worry about her. Zoya held the man's hand again.


"I'm okay, Hubby." she said, smiling so warmly. In a moment of time it can make Ethan's feelings feel much better.


"Come, let's go home." take her.


"Why come home?" ethan's forehead wrinkled in wonder, when some time ago the girl told him not to go home immediately.


"We abisin your leave at home" she whispered in a sensual tone, successfully provoking the laughter of her husband. But the handsome man followed, continuing with his wife to the door and passing from there.


But once again, Zoya looked back. Baby supplies store that became his target. One day, she will have to go there to buy all the equipment for her baby. Must.
