Petunia Amarily
21. Warm Hugs.
The days continued to change, the week continued to pass with all the happiness that accompanied Nia. Two weeks away, is the HPL that the Doctor told him, and Farel who always faithfully accompanied Nia every time she checked the womb. There was never a word of complaining, there was never a word of reluctance for Farel, when it came to Nia and Nia's children.
Nothing changed when Nia married Farel. The father who continued to intimidate Nia, also spread many useless threats. Abhimanyu incessantly gave insults, mockery, even blasphemy to Farel who had sacrificed many things so far.
Even once Nia heard from Kak Kia, that Mother had threatened Father to divorce, just for forcing to visit Nia. What is Dad's heart really made of? Why did you manage to take that to Farel and his own daughter?
Is it worth mentioning as a husband and father?
Petunia felt, the figure of the father that Nia really used to have, at this time as if Nia no longer found it. The father who used to be so loving and caring, now it was as if Petunia no longer knew him.
So, where is the figure of the father that Nia has been proud of? Nia doesn't understand. Let alone to just love to let go of longing, which is precisely the father increasingly ordered Nia separated from Farel.
Will Nia obey? The answer is of course not. Nia won't be that easy to say what her father told her.
Likewise with household arks that are not as long as corn. Happiness does not always come. The wheel does not stay in place without turning. There is always a time, where we are below, where we are above.
Nia's feelings are usually cheerful because Farel always entertains her, and injects her spirit, for some reason it suddenly feels uncomfortable. Nia was confused as to how to describe her feelings.
"Rel, it's best not to go to work. I wanted to be with her all day" Nia pleaded, and I don't know how many times the woman had visited Farel. It's not usually like this with Farel. Farel himself was astonished at him.
"Dear, don't do this. I went to work and work for you and the baby. Don't worry, I won't stop by anywhere and will be home soon. I beg for understanding. I'm afraid my savings are not much less for the natural cost" replied Farel while bringing the wife into his arms.
Actually, farel felt guilty, would be absent himself accompanied the wife, not fulfilling the simple wishes of the woman who became the center of the world and the source of his love. But how else? No one can be Farel's back. To complain to Mother, Farel did not want to trouble Wanda continuously.
"But me, I can't get away from you right now. I don't know, maybe I'm starting to love you? I myself don't understand my feelings" Nia hugged Farel first, something she had never done, if not Farel who hugged Nia first.
"Well, I'll hold you long enough, won't let you feel alone. But don't stop me from working, okay? It's for the good of you and our children" said Farel, hugging Nia longer.
A warmth so spread in Nia's heart, expelling many worries, which seemed to haunt Nia's days all along.
Warm embrace of the family, it is no longer the woman felt, since she bears the name Petunia Amarilys Prahasta.
Until shortly afterwards, Farel was forced to hug his wife who suddenly wanted to indulge. The man didn't want to be late for college.
"Said Tika will come here later, she misses you. So when I go to work, there is Tika who will accompany you longer," said Farel again.
"really?" nia asked with a smile on her lips.
"Yes, of course. When did I ever lie to you?" ask Farel later.
"Never," Nia smiled sweetly, a smile that had long since succeeded in making Farel subjugated.
"Ask what? Just saying?" ask petunia later.
"If you give birth later, then Adam comes to hug, greet and hold this child, what will you do?" farel asked later, as his hand gently rubbed Nia's stomach affectionately.
"I won't let it, I won't allow it, I won't make it do that as long as I breathe" Petunia said.
"really?" farel asked, raising his eyebrows next door.
"Yes. And it's your duty to protect me and your son. From now on, I'm asking you, don't talk about Adam as the father of this child. From now on, you are the rightful father for my son" Nia replied with confidence.
"Thank you for giving me the authority to look after this child. I promise, I will take care of you, and will age together with you. You won't regret it, will you, if you live with a poor man like me? But I promise you, I will work hard for you, you, and this child" Farel said, smiling sweetly.
"Rel, if noticed, you're handsome too" Nia praised Farel.
"Yes, I've been pretty a long time. It's just that you just realized it, and you just found out today, because you used to be so crazy about Adam" Farel said.
"Yes, that was. But now, it won't be anymore" said Nia.
"Yes, it's noon rush, I should leave now so as not to be late," said Farel later, after feeling he really misfortune this time.
Nia smiled, letting go of her husband with a nod. A heavy feeling suddenly rolled in despair, heavily releasing Farel's warm embrace, which from when, suddenly became opium to Nia.

A man was standing behind a large glass window, which showed a busy view of the capital from behind. The day was nearing, when the man felt unsettled, and was struck by a sense he did not understand what it was coming from.
In recent days, Abhimanyu has been plagued by guilt, coupled with a terrible hatred. Seeing the condition of his eldest daughter who had to live in simplicity, so far from the luxury he had once given to Nia, made his heart as a father hurt.
Disappointment, sense of defeat, and also his ego as a father, as if smeared.
The man then went out, intending to go home and delegate work to his subordinates only. He needed to separate Nia from that man named Farel, no matter what, and no matter what.
The man was getting more and more ignorant, also increasing his arrogance as high as the sky.
Hopefully, no regrets come to him after this.
