SECOND BRIDE

Episode 11: Feelings Cannot Be Controlled

At the age of her pregnancy is only two months, of course, natural if Hana is still experiencing morning sickness. However, Hana feels that her current pregnancy is not too worried because she feels more and more the day she feels stronger and there are no significant problems in her pregnancy this time. So, he was able to overcome everything by himself without having to whine at Andre to stay with him like when pregnant Saka first.

Today this week there is the activities of PKK mother in her complex, she has been a member since she came to the complex. All the mothers of the neighbors are very good, although sometimes their mouths are very spicy when they start gossiping. Hana who is not too happy to gossip quite understand, her name is also mothers of course it is quite reasonable. He just knows, and doesn't want to find out.

Bu Juminem, Hana's front neighbor immediately pulled Hana with a very serious face leaving the crowd from the living room of Bu Ghina's house, the host of PKK's mother's funeral this month. His face is very serious, but Hana thought that Bu Juminem only wanted to gossip as usual like other mothers but Hana was quite surprised because not usually Bu Juminem took her to a quiet place like this just to gossip with himself. What's more, Hana is arguably not very active in this gossip activity.

“Bu Hana! I. I'm actually not good at telling you this. But, I want to tell Mom because mom is my good neighbor. In fact, our house is also deketan so I have considered you as my own sister. I tell this for your good!” whispered Bu Juminem, as if he did not want to let the wind bring this pretty secret news.

“What's Bu ?”

“About Bu Hana's husband, yesterday I saw Mom's husband.”

“Yesterday why, Mom ? My husband yesterday was nowhere.”

“When you vacation in Lembang I saw the husband of Ms. Hana, Mr. Lecturer, Mas Andre!” The eyes of Bu Juminem are increasingly widened to proclaim this to Hana, this sign is part of his intrigue and will soon be headed to climax.

“Yesterday I saw Mas Andre, Your husband delivered a woman to the Hotel in Lembang!” Although his voice was whispering, his voice was filled with emphasis. Ms. Juminem is indeed very good at narrating this type of gossip, dramatizing something will make this story sound as if the world is about to collapse.

Hana is still trying to digest the news that Bu Juminem delivered. She tried to remember what activities she did with her husband in Lembang. Hana began to remember the guests she could not meet because she was not well at that time, he did not know the guest was a woman or a man because he forgot to ask and Andre did not tell him but at this time he can assume the woman that Bu Juminem saw was his guest who should have met him that moment.

So, if it was true that Andre was cheating on her like this Bu Juminem told her, Andre would definitely not tell her to even ask her to meet him. Instead Andre will cover up the meeting. Maybe Bu Juminem just took the wrong conclusion from what he saw back then, Hana thought. She also believed her husband was one hundred percent Andre would not betray her.

“Bu, Thank you for telling me all this. But Andre actually invited me to the meeting but I was not feeling well at the time and thank you very much for worrying about me. God willing, I trust my husband, Mom!” hana replied trying to be wise so that Bu Juminem would not be offended by her.

“I just told you, a husband who sleeps too much outside instead of having to be extra careful ? Yesterday I could have seen it wrong because it was night, but what I saw yesterday could have come true. Always be vigilant is important Miss Hana for you who in her husband's situation work out of town. No one knows!” Advice Bu Juminem really listened to by Hana because some of the words of Bu Juminem did have a point.

Not that I don't want to be vigilant just that Hana thinks too much suspicion is not good. The act would have made his relationship with Andre disharmonious and would have started the endless seeds of contention. The key to the relationship remains harmonious during this course must trust each other, this method is considered very fitting because Andre also looks not to do strange things.

...***...

To. Andre Mas

Has he reached Jakarta ? Hope the seminar is good, Mom.

No answer from Andre, maybe he was busy Hana thought. Andre tells Hana he will be home soon after his seminar is over and goes to the gynecologist together on Wednesday. He is very enthusiastic because after a long time he will return to the obstetrician and will soon meet with his second child. Although this was her second pregnancy, her enthusiasm remained the same, even more so. She always felt happy when pregnant, because at that time she felt never alone and felt always accompanied by her prospective children. He always longed for this kind of feeling and finally God granted it and put the little angel back on him. Of course, no happiness would match him.

...***...

No one can resist the feelings that grow without warning even themselves.

“Forget! Suppose I never said that sentence. I'm just tired so my words are a little slurred. The seminar tomorrow, right ? When will you be home ?” Shinta asked trying to be calm, after the emotions hunted her earlier.

“Ah... Hm...... On Tuesday I will go home because Wednesday I have to take Hana to the doctor.”.

The atmosphere is very awkward. Andre did not know what to behave so that the current atmosphere became liquid, he was quite surprised by Shinta's words earlier. Falling in love, she never thought of him. He never imagined it would happen to both of them, even to Shinta though because he thought this girl would not love her who was nearly fifteen years different from him. That can't happen, it can't!

Their age and status differences could not unite them. She wants Shinta to love someone who deserves her, someone who will give her total love, someone who is always there for her and who is her age. That man is not Andre.

It had been half a day that Shinta was in her room and had not eaten anything. Andre had already called out to Shinta but there was no answer. Starting to worry because he remembered Mr. Wijadja once said that his daughter had been admitted to the hospital because she forgot to eat while busy with activities that are crowded with various organizations because of the acute Mag she suffered.

“Bi! Is there a Shinta room double lock ? From earlier he had not eaten, I was afraid his mag so relapsed.” Andre Pinta.

“There, I get it first.”

After a few minutes Bi Ina returned and gave one key to Andre. The man immediately opened Shinta's room and found Shinta lying on her bed shivering with her stomach.

“Shin ? Shin ?” Andre was very panicked, because his guess was right. Shinta is not okay now.

“BI! Take care of Shinta first. I'll get out of the car first!” Andre immediately goes to his car to park it in front of the door and immediately returns to Shinta's room to carry it and is placed in his car.

Shinta kept shivering, her body was feverish and it seemed like her stomach was not okay. This girl is a stubborn one. Shinta has been treated by a doctor in the ER, the doctor said Shinta will be fine after the infusion runs out and after that Shinta must eat the porridge which will be provided by the hospital.

“Mba Shinta is conscious ? Mba Shinta now what is felt ? is it better ?” ask Bi Ina

“Pak Lecturer is in seminar right now, Mba Shinta. He said that Shinta was told to eat this porridge. Earlier Mr. Lecturer had bought this for Mba Shinta because he was worried Mba Shinta would not eat hospital food.” Bi Ina

“I don't want to eat, Bi. My stomach is still not good.”

“Say the Doctor ate a little first, Mba shinta. Don't let her stomach be empty. Don't be reckless! Let's eat fast, auntie's bribe huh ? replacing Mr. Lecturer.”

“Gak... engak... let me eat alone.”.

“Mba Shinta is already strong ?”

Shinta nodded weakly, she tried to sit down even though she was still weak with Bi Ina's help

“I bribe aja yes, Mbak.”

Shinta nodded her head again.

“Before it...” Bi Ina took her phone and took a picture of Shinta.

“Kok even in photos ?”

“Create a report to Mr. Lecturer, he said Mr. Lecturer should have proof before and after mbak Shinta eat.”

Shinta was silent.

...***...

“Where Shinta ?” ask Andre who just came after being a seminar speaker all day.

Shinta was sleeping after taking the medicine this afternoon, Andre immediately asked Bi Ina to go home for having been looking after Shinta all day.

“Tomorrow Mba Shinta can go home, Mr. Lecturer. I will come here early in the morning to help Mba Shinta, because I heard Mr. Lecturer will return to Bandung tomorrow.”

“Not necessary, Bi. I'm not home tomorrow.”

“Ya Already, tomorrow I am at home just preparing food for Madam Shinta. I go home first, Mr. Lecturer.”

After Bi Ina left, Shinta who had been awake since Andre had come to hear her conversation with Bi Ina earlier.

“Why not just go home ? Ms. Hana must really need Mas Andre.”

Andre just silently looked at Shinta.

“Pak Andre just go home, pity Bu Hana.”

Andre was just staring at Shinta. Shinta felt very awkward because Andre just silently looked at her and no longer wanted to talk to the man.

“I'll tell Hana. I'll talk to Hana.” myself Andre finally opened his mouth.

Shinta really did not know what to react to now, the atmosphere was very cold and different. Andre looked very serious, not as usual. His face was tense, he was thinking about something and it was definitely about the relationship between the three of us. During this time not only he who thought, but this man also thought of things that also did not lose to make him disturbed. All this time Shinta was so selfish that he thought only he suffered with this marriage, but he realized Andre suffered more here. Much will he sacrifice by maintaining his marriage to Shinta, but he cannot take Shinta off because of the will and his heart.

“Do not talk about farewell, I will not do it. Get well, and be a strong woman. I will always be by your side and always support you from behind.”

“Why ?”

“What ?”

“Why from behind ? we better be side by side, right ? I'll approve it. We'll be friends.”

Andre finally smiled and gently stroked Shinta's head.
