Not the Dust Granules
Alex's Application.
Alex knelt under the hospital bed. He proposed to Irene to be his wife. After all, the child is his son. Alex can't just take his hands off.
"Irene Wijaya, please .. marry me, I promise to make you happy".
Irene was still glued to the hospital bed. He doesn't know what to do. On the one hand, Alex is indeed the biological father of the child he contains. On the other hand, Doni who is so good, has been willing to accept himself as he is. Irene was still afraid that she would live with Alex and accept her harsh treatment and hurt her heart.
"I need time to think".
"But, I'm afraid that you'll harm the baby you bear".
"I'm not that crazy as Alex, I still have a conscience, not like you behaving like an animal".
"I've regretted it Irene, I don't want one day, my son regrets having a depraved father like me".
"You should have thought that way before you raped me yesterday".
Alex was silent, apparently the wound in Irene's heart was deep. It took time to regain that trust.
Alex approaches Irene's bed. She was about to hold her hand, but Irene's countenance turned frightened.
"Do you want, don't touch me!!".
"I want to feel my son in your stomach".
"Don't, he's even a kid, so don't try to touch me again".
"I hate to see your dirty hands".
"All right.I'm sorry".
"I won't touch you, I promise..!!!".
"Go Alex, I want to rest now".
Doni waited for the second conversation. He did give time for Irene and Alex to talk. Until finally, Alex was seen coming out of the room where Irene was treated.
"Irene won't change her mind, just because you two are talking".
"You've hurt her so much".
"You don't even know anything about him".
"That girl, it's not as weak as you think".
"What do you know about Irene??".
"You don't even have the right to approach her at all".
"That child is my son, and I'll make sure we both get married".
"O yeah, so confident of you".
"You don't even realize what you're saying".
"Irene will never marry you".
"I'll make him happy".
"You hear that???"
Alex didn't even answer a word. Doni's words have a point. Alex was already bad in Irene's eyes. But he promised to fight for Irene to be his wife.
Doni leaves Irene outside the hospital. He then went inside to see Irene. Irene's face was gloomy and looked sad.
"Why is my beautiful mother???".
"Looks like you need some entertainment, I promise you after you get out of the hospital, I'll take you on vacation".
"You worked too hard yesterday, you forgot to take care of your health".
"Alex proposed to me".
"He wants to take responsibility for the child I bear".
Doni looked at Irene's face. He was surprised to hear his words. An Alex, wanting to marry Irene, just to give her baby status.
"Think well, don't be rash".
"He married you just for status".
"But I married you, because I really love you both".
"No matter what happens to you, I
accept you sincerely".
"I know Don, you were the only one all along
understand me".
"You helped me when I was down".
"Put and night, you're the only one who stays by my side".
"I can't even make a decision yet".
"That's it Irene.don't make a burden".
"Rest..I'll accompany you here".
After returning from the hospital, Alex went straight to see his mother. Madam Renata is making a list of her friends who want to order a dress on Irene. Mrs Renata was still on the phone, as Alex stood by her side. Mrs Renata hung up and spoke to Alex.
"What else, did you do in the hospital??".
"Irene's mad at you again??".
"Ma, I and Irene should get married as soon as possible".
"Mama persuaded the mother's daughter-in-law so she would marry me".
"Why must be a persuasive mom, it's natural that Irene is angry, because your behavior is inexcusable".
"Yes ma, that's why mama help me, I want to marry her as soon as possible!!".
"Mama knows how Irene feels, if she doesn't want to marry you, you can't force her".
"But this time it has to be ma, for the sake of my granddaughter who is in Irene's stomach".
"Irene's pregnant now ma, and it's because of what I did".
"What..............???".
Mrs Renata was shocked to hear Alex's words. He thought he was just mishearing.
"Are you saying, Irene's pregnant??".
"Finally, my mom will soon have a grandchild".
"Your father should know this, we should propose to Irene immediately".
"I agree with my mom".
"Fastly, you should propose to Irene for me".
"If not, Doni will be the father of your granddaughter".
"Why can that be???".
"Because Doni proposed to Irene first, before she knew Irene was pregnant".
"Let me talk to Doni".
"Irene must marry you, because you're the father of the child she contains".
"I'm gonna ask papa to come home, we need to take care of your wedding right away".
"Mama doesn't want Irene's stomach to get bigger later, if it's too long to delay your marriage".
"Irene needs time ma, besides she's inpatient now, her womb is weak".
"Alex, take Mama there now..!!!".
"Mama's gonna persuade Irene".
Alex and Miss Renata rush to the hospital where Irene is being treated. They don't want Irene to marry Doni. After all, Irene's son was the heir of the Alex family. Although the boy was the fruit of a rape committed by Alex. At least they had to make amends to that innocent girl.
After arriving at the hospital, Alex and Miss Renata immediately head to Irene's inpatient room. They just went inside, as Doni was feeding Irene dinner.
"Darling, you look healthier, let mama eat for you".
"Don't ma'am, Don, I'm done, my stomach is full".
"Where can it be like that, you just ate two mouthfuls, come on...continue eating you!!".
"Doni, give it to Auntie, let Auntie take care of this Aunt's daughter-in-law".
"Let's go, baby, continue eating, you should also think about the baby in your womb".
"Let me alone, madam".
"Mama...., from now on you should call me mama, soon you and Alex will be getting married!!".
"Customize calling mama from now on".
"But madam....!!!".
"Let's eat.....!!".
While feeding Irene, Miss Renata
looking towards Doni who was still standing in the corner of the room.
"Doni,,, from now on, I'll take care of my daughter-in-law myself".
"You can go home now".
"After all, it's not good that you two are, either,
irene is getting married to Alex".
Doni endured patiently hearing the words of Miss Renata. But he didn't move a bit from the hospital room. He also saw, it seemed like Irene was uncomfortable with the presence of the mother and child.
