Bonus Chapter: The Parting

So actually I want to make Dimitri more jerk, but I can't, I'm too in love with them both actually

Three days ago, I woke up in a hospital bed. I still remember very much after our little fight, I fainted, after realizing I was already in this hospital. The doctor said I had minor bleeding, but thankfully nothing happened to my baby. But, I have to bed rest for the next week.

Dimitri's parents came to see me several times, but I refused when they wanted to contact both of my parents. I don't want them to worry, sometimes they can be too much if they hear me hurt, let alone have another life in my body right now.

I don't care if I have to rest in this hospital, because other than getting a VIP room, I can also avoid Dimitri for a moment. The doctor told me not to overload my mind so as not to stress, it is not good for the growth of the baby. But I didn't know it would be this emotional either.

Let's just say yesterday's fight never happened, I don't even want to remember that at all. I hid this matter from my in-laws, of course. Anyway, I don't want our parents to interfere in the problems we're dealing with. Although I had to endure the pain of thinking about the problem, I had no problem.

“Last time I met you, I think you are okay,” said Nabila. It's his first visit after three days here, yeah I don't have a problem with that.

“You think pain can be predicted?”

“Cuman would like to guess, you fight with Dimitri?”

I looked at Nabila, I couldn't hide the problem from Nabila at least. I just don't want to end up in disappointment after telling you everything. Nabila has an interest in Dimitri himself, and I'm sure he will side with Dimitri and ask me not to overdo it.

“Ordinary households, right, if you fight. You must be like that too.” I shrugged my shoulders.

“Still the woman's problem?”

“If you want to tell me about the impossibility of Dimitri confessing to this, mendingan you out only because I also do not want to fight with you.”

Nabila sighed. He looks wrong in front of me. “I never meant to defend Dimitri, I just said what I've seen all along. And all this time Dimitri did change better.”

I threw my eyes to the side, not wanting to look at Nabila. I don't want to defend anyone, I know they're just going to blame the hormones of an over-pregnant mother. Even if the reality is like that, what should make it an excuse?

“But, if he hurts you again, I will stand at the front for your protection, Li,” continued Nabila.

I'm sick of having to feel hurt again, especially when this relationship is official. I used to run away to calm myself down, now I can't do that. And I admit it's a very childish thing and it doesn't solve the problem, I won't do that anymore either. I know my place as a wife, and will not be taken for granted by another woman who suddenly appears in our midst.

“You're serious about what you said?” my many.

“Our friendship is longer than that, and you still just do I mean it?” asked Nabila with annoyance.

It was obvious that a annoyed tone sounded from his lips. It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that it's better to be sure. I turned my face back to look at Nabila, this time with a smile. It's outrageous that Nabila will defend Dimitri against me who is his best friend.

“That's a lot of scenarios in my head, if indeed you prefer to buy Dimitri in my appeal,” said I.

“Dimitri has changed, she is good, but I don't know what she is doing behind you. So let you tell me what happened so I can understand.”

I went back to tell you what happened to me and Dimitri, and Evelyn. Without a single miss. I can very smoothly tell my personal problems to Nabila on the appeal of both my parents. It's not that I don't trust them, it's just that I'm more comfortable telling stories with Nabila. At least we are the same age and we are both living a married life.

Maybe Nabila couldn't give me a wise solution, but at least someone else was standing by my side. That's enough for me.

Dimitri still sees me in the hospital, but he only comes at night when I'm asleep, and then leaves early in the morning. Or take care of my needs through the nurse. Maybe he felt guilty, because he did something like this. But I'm a little disappointed too. She should have entered my room as a husband and father-to-be, hugged me and calmed me down.

Or Dimitri was too busy with his woman, so he didn't really care about me. I don't know, which option is right and which is wrong. I just feel disappointed with him. This is my last day in the hospital. Sister Sri, who works in our house, came to the hospital with my driver on Dimitri's orders.

Why didn't he pick me up himself? Is his office business so important that he forgets his own wife?

“Mbak, later please clean the guest room downstairs, huh? I want to sleep there. My clothes are also stacked in the guest room, I am not strong if I have to go up and down the stairs,”, I said.

Not entirely a lie, I did avoid the slightest risk. I also want to calm down, I need some distance. Lucky I haven't thought about divorce options. Sometimes the choice suddenly came to mind for a moment, and I always wanted to discuss this with Dimitri, but I always considered it. There's always a way out, I haven't tried. I worked hard until I finally got married to Dimitri, it couldn't be that easy for me to say divorce.

The journey home is long, long, or is it just my feeling? After arriving, I immediately rested on the sofa lounge while waiting for Madam Sri to clean the guest room. There are two guest rooms in this house, and both are on the first floor. Just look at Dimitri's reaction later.

I was still required to rest at home for at least three to five days, so that my body condition was getting better, only after that I could do my activities but still avoid the heavy ones.

I don't know how long it's been, but it looks like I fell asleep on this couch for a while. When I opened my eyes, the first object I met was Dimitri. He knelt beside the sofa watching me. Our eyes met for a moment before I turned them in the other direction.

“You've come home,” I said stale.

“Today is not much work, so can go home more quickly. You better rest on top, later I ask Mbak Sri make you food.”

“I moved to guest room,” I said.

Since I was staring at something else, I don't know what Dimitri's expression is right now. There was no voice to answer my words. Yeah, I know it's overkill, but it doesn't matter if I want some peace, right?

I want to avoid you! My screams in my heart.

“I don't want to be more tired if I have to go up and down stairs, I don't want to take the risk.”

“If you think it's the best, I don't have a problem. As long as you and our child stay healthy.”

After Dimitri said that sentence, I immediately passed from before him. No problem, it's not a big deal, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. But late. My tears were already streaming down my cheeks unhindered when I entered the room. I hope Dimitri says something else, he doesn't even apologize for not picking me up.

At least I can be a little happy with his little attention. If he has no special relationship with her, why should he treat me like this?

I came back to work at the flower shop, I would just come and chat with Mbak Tari while waiting for customers. I won't do things that could endanger myself. One week in the hospital was so saturated, I could do nothing but read a book or surf cyberspace.

My world is really limited if I am on the bed. My face is pretty cute because it was a cry last night, lucky a little makeup can help disguise. There are different things I've felt since I was in the hospital, like emptiness.

Also, ever since I got to the flower shop, I really wanted to meet Dimitri. Our interactions have been very cold since yesterday, but this morning I really wanted to meet Dimitri. Is this part of the cravings I feel?

If yes, then I will be severely tortured. I couldn't meet Dimitri even if I wanted to, it was always that woman who was shadowing me when I looked at Dimitri's face. Even my lunch has not been touched at all since Mbak Tari bought it for both of us.

“You didn't eat?” ask Mbak Tari.

I stared at the lunch box consisting of rice, capcay, fried chicken, and also the chili alternated with my phone. I did ask Mbak Tari to order a complete meal like this on appeal to ready meals. Health remains the main thing for me.

I shook my head weakly, I was hungry, but I wanted to eat with Dimitri. I stroked my stomach slowly, why would he want his father at a time like this? If only you knew how your parents were doing, baby.

“You want to eat something else? Let Mbak buyin,” said Mbak Tari again.

“No papa, Ma'am, I'm in first, huh?”

Arriving in this square room, I still fondle my phone. Actually I just need to contact Dimitri, so that this cravings will be over soon and I don't need to be afraid if my son's wishes in here are not fulfilled.

Why should I feel this way about my husband? This is something we both should have done for our babies. But, meeting Dimitri when we were cold was still strange.

In the end I pressed my gang and called Dimitri, we ended up in a park not far from the shopping center located in the city center. Not far from Dimitri's office. I want to eat with Dimitri in the open air, like a picnic. That's what I really want, more precisely my son's wish.

I stared at Dimitri who was craving to eat his food. Last night, Dimitri sneaked into the guest room and slept with me. I hadn't really slept at the time, and the door wasn't locked either, so maybe Dimitri was taking advantage of that. My heart warms when I remember that.

In the midst of my unstable emotional state, all I wanted was a hug from my own husband, that was all. When Dimitri was in the hospital doing the same thing, he slept in my bedside chair holding my hand tightly. I know because I always wake up in the middle of the night. He's my husband, why would he do that secretly?

“The food is not good, yes?” ask Dimitri.

I opened my eyes, trying to wake myself up from this daydream. I seem to miss him a lot, just looking at him makes me feel calm. I feed rice and chicken into my mouth, I'm not really hungry. My only wish is to see Dimitri.

“Sorry if I interrupt your work, this is not my will,” I said softly. I again stroked my stomach which now began to feel the bulge. I don't know why I feel guilty asking Dimitri to see me.

“You can call me anytime, no need to apologize.”

I was still busy feeding rice into my mouth, still reluctant to look at Dimitri. Not because I don't want to, just weird for me. We were cold to each other, and the problems between us were not well resolved, but suddenly we met like this because of the wishes of my baby. We are, husband and wife, it's only natural, right?

Do all pregnant women always plan like me? I feel my emotions are very up and down and sometimes I feel it myself, also very upset. I want my problems to be solved, but they always end without a solution.

“I can touch it?” dimitri Pinta.

I looked at him, he pointed at my stomach with his eyes. Dimitri must have felt the same way as me, and we were cheering each other on. I just gave a nod to Dimitri.

Dimitri shifted his seat to get closer to me, with my stomach. And his first touch gave me an electric shock sensation. Dimitri who felt my shock, immediately pulled back his hand, and looked at me.

“Gak papa..i was just a little surprised,” I said.

Slowly, Dimitri touched my stomach again. I closed my eyes impulsively. Though I didn't feel the need to close my eyes, but right now I'm closing my eyes, probably to enjoy Dimitri's touch.

I felt a warm breath in front of my face, I slowly opened my eyes and Dimitri's face was already very close to me. I closed my eyes again as Dimitri's lips peeked into both of my eyes, down to the base of my nose, and ended up on my lips. Just a gentle touch made me enjoy it. Dimitri's hands too

stroking my stomach with his regular movements.

I don't want this to end.
