Not the Dust Granules

Start Open.

"Let's go, baby, eat...".

"You have to eat a lot so that your granddaughter is healthy".

"It's enough madam, please don't force me".

Irene was still in an unstable condition. And his emotions this time were completely unstoppable. They were kind after knowing Irene's pregnancy. All this time, Doni took care of her. Irene would really just throw this baby away.

"Tante and Alex don't bother".

"I'm going to abort this baby, I still want a career, and I don't need Alex's mercy".

"Wait, baby, you don't like this".

"Let Alex and mom take care of him".

"You just want this baby, right, where were you when I faced that post-rape trauma".

"You selfish,,, get out of here!!!!".

Irene nodded again. His emotions exploded again. Alex and Miss Renata are surprised to see it.

Doni immediately ran over and hugged Irene. He held his hand which hit his own stomach. Doni held her tight until the nurse came.

"Suster, tell them to get out of here".

"I don't want them to come here".

"Calm Irene, control yourself".

"You're safe now".

The nurse immediately came out and told Alex and Miss Renata to leave the hospital. Irene's condition is still unstable. It will affect her pregnancy.

"Drink, you must be thirsty after yelling earlier".

"Now it's more relieved isn't it??".

"Doni, don't do this, I can fall in love if you're this soft".

"I can't hold myself back".

"Then don't, marry me, I guarantee you'll be happy".

"But me,,.......!!".

"Sstttt...hush, don't say anything else, just be quiet, relax in my arms".

Irene finally calmed down. His feelings are peaceful and comfortable. Doni knows how to handle Irene. The other with Alex. He only made Irene recall her trauma.

After a while in Doni's arms, Irene was calm. He has taken control of himself again. Doni then told him to rest. He doesn't want Irene to drop again.

Irene was finally able to fall asleep even though she had to hold Doni's hand. Patiently Doni accompanied her on the side of the bed. He looked at the haggard face in front of him. The trials he faced were not easy. And Doni bears witness to how hard his struggle is out of the trauma of his rape.

In the hospital parking lot, Alex and Miss Renata are still waiting. They hope Irene changes her mind and lets Alex accompany her.

"You should be the one in Doni's position, if it goes on like this, it might be true that Irene will marry him".

"You know for yourself, Irene doesn't even want to see my face".

"He hates me so much ma".

"You have to win Irene's heart, leave all your ugly traits behind".

"You don't want to know, however, Irene has to be your daughter-in-law".

"Mama's tug home, and get back here".

"Treat Irene well, as Doni does her".

Alex rushed to take his mother home. He has to go back to the hospital.

Her mother was right, she should be able to take Irene's heart again. Otherwise, he would have lost everything. Irene and also the child in her womb.

After dropping off his mother, Alex returned to the hospital. This time he bought food and fruits for Irene. Not forgetting that she bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers for him.

Arriving at the hospital, Alex heads to Irene's nursery. She brought flowers with joy. But when he opened the door, Irene and Doni were holding hands. Both are asleep. Alex was angry, but he tried to hold back.

"Relax Alex,,, don't show your emotions".

"You should appear calm in front of Irene".

Alex pokes Doni's shoulders to build his. When her hand held off, Irene also woke up.

"Irene, you're awake, apparently, I brought you roses".

"Doni, you want to try too, I'm sure you haven't eaten".

"Thank you for taking care of Irene all this time".

"Come, eat..after that you rest, let me change who take care of Irene".

Doni and Irene looked at each other. Alex Jali's attitude is much softer. He was not as rude and arrogant as usual.Even he also treated Doni well. Irene thought maybe Alex was trying to change her attitude.

Doni receives the food Alex gives. He then sat down on the side of the bed.

"Thank you Alex, I'll eat it later".

"Eat first, don't get sick".

"We both have patients, right??".

"Irene, let me give you a bribe.you have to eat a lot, so you can recover quickly".

"I want to see the cheerful Irene as before".

Irene was still silent. He is not yet able to speak. Alex looks pretty good if he behaves like this.

"Irene,, come on. Don't just shut up".

"Or can I help you wake up??".

"Doni....Can I help Irene??".

"Please..do what you want".

Irene was silent as Alex's hand stretched out to help her get up. Her gentle treatment, made Irene drift away. After Irene managed to sit down, Alex looked at her stomach. He shed tears.

"Irene, can I touch her???".

"I want to feel his presence".

"I promise to be careful,,,".

"Please, let me touch my son".

Irene threw a glance at Doni, as if asking for approval. Doni gestured in agreement through his eyes. Irene then nodded and allowed Alex to touch her stomach.

"Hello baby, this is papa son".

"You're fine inside yeah, don't bother mama".

"Papa will always be here for you dear".

"When the time comes, we'll meet".

"Champion papa, don't be naughty in your belly".

Alex shed tears. Irene's fingers were dripped by Alex's tears. Irene was surprised and pulled her hand.

"Sorry Irene, I'm too happy because you let me touch our son".

"From now on, whatever you feel, tell me".

"I will always be by your side".

"We're dealing with this together".

Nisa and Alex are dissolved in the atmosphere of the day, so they do not realize that Doni is no longer in Irene's room. I don't know when Doni came out of the room. Is it possible that she feels bad because of Alex's treatment of Irene.

"Alex, are you done??".

"Irene, don't tell me to go again".

"I have to stay here to take care of you,,".

"Let me take responsibility for all my sins".

"No Alex, it's. I'm thirsty.....".

"Ok, I'll get you, you stay there, don't move".

Throughout the afternoon, Alex accompanied Irene in her room. She feeds and even recites the story so that Irene falls asleep.

Doni hasn't even been back since he left. In Irene's heart was a little tired to see the seriousness of Alex taking care of her.

After making sure Irene slept, Alex then cleaned up their slightly messy room. He also patched Irene's blanket. After that she caught up with Irene falling asleep next to the hospital bed.
