Secret Husband

Chapter 76

Day nine Ella and her entourage are in her hometown. It's exactly Sunday. Today Bima is again scheduled to be handled by Mr. Cipto. Actually Sunday is a holiday for Mr. Cipto quit his routine to treat the sick. But not today. For the sake of his son's superior, Bima. Pak Cipto is willing to take the time to treat Bima.

But it seems that today is not only the special treatment given by Mr. Cipto to Bima. The old man who was notoriously kind and friendly had already prepared something for Bima and his entourage. After doing massage on the body of Bima. Mr. Cipto invited Ella and the others to sit in the yard under a very shady mango tree.

Ms. Marni rolled out character mats for their seats. Two women who are neighbors of Mr. Cipto look busy serving Ella and others.

"It's Ella's favorite food. I made it before you guys got back to town. After Pak Bima healed. Not necessarily Ella and Zico returned home in a few months," Marni's mother said, starting the conversation before they had lunch.

"Sorry everyone. If we both had lunch with you in this place. Every time we go back to the village. Zico loves to relax in this place. And even often enjoy lunch in this place," said Mr. Cipto chimed in his wife's words.

Zico arrived suddenly coughing hearing the words of Mr. Cipto. What Mr. Cipto said is true. Zico did it all to get away from Ella. Today, Mr. Cipto reminds himself of the past mistakes he realized after parting from Ella.

"We should immediately execute this food immediately. You will eat more than usual after feeling the blowing of this fresh rural breeze" Zico said to divert talks.

It's true what Zico said. The movement of the wind that waves through the leaves adds to the appetite of Ella, Maya mama, Esther and Bima increased. They add more food than usual.

Bima smiled at Ella who was eating voraciously. But just now the plate was not left with food. Ella felt her stomach churn up wanting to take out everything she had eaten just now.

"Why are you, son?" ask Marni's mother who can see Ella's movements that hold back from vomiting. Bima also directly moved her neck to examine Ella's condition.

"I'm nauseous Ma'am" Ella replied without thinking. He forgot they were at his former in-laws' residence.

"You're nauseous. Don't you get pregnant?" ask Marni's mother with a sparkling face.

"Pregnant?. Doesn't the pregnant woman feel nausea only in the morning?" ella said after realizing what she said earlier made Marni's mother guess and it turns out she was pregnant. I don't want to share my happiness with my ex-in-law. But Ella doesn't want to see her two former in-laws disillusioned with the reality about her and Zico.

"There are some pregnant women who are nauseous all day not only in the morning. Mother when pregnant your husband began the first month of pregnancy to six months feel nauseous. It's your favorite time to conceive your husband" replied Marni's mother as she stood up and reached out to the young mango. He plucked the mango fruit one seed then washed it with drinking water.

Mama Maya and Bima looked at each other while Zico lowered his head. Somehow he told me about the divorce. The situation is very complicated at this time especially there are Bima and Maya mama. Before deciding to bring Bima treatment to his papa. Zico and Dad have made plans to tell their parents about their house with Ella and the reason for the divorce.

Zico closed his eyes realizing the complexity was due to his own mistakes. Suppose Ella is not pregnant and Bima is not a patient of Pak Cipto. Zico can admit to the divorce. Zico only hopes in his heart that the divorce of Ella and himself is not revealed when Bima is still undergoing treatment.

"Wanna try it?" ask Marni's mother while offering the young mango.

"Sorry Mom. My teeth will ache when I bite this young mango," refused Ella smooth. Actually since their first arrival to the house. Ella already felt drooling to taste the young mango. But Ella deliberately resisted the strong desire so that her two former in-laws did not know she was pregnant.

Zico breathed a sigh of relief at Ella's reply. Zico hopes that answer could hide Ella's current pregnancy. While Bima looked at his wife's face not blinking. As a husband, Bima could see his wife's desire for the young mango. She realized Ella's refusal of the young mango to hide her pregnancy and of course for the sake of smooth treatment.

A few hours ago before they came to this house. Bima heard the conversation between Ella and Mother Rose. Ella warns Rose's mother not to preach pregnancy to anyone in the village. Ella fears the pregnancy is heard to both of her former in-laws who make them happy but ends up having to be disappointed or angry to find out if the fetus is not their grandchild.

Ella, Bima and Zico struggle with their own thoughts to hide the pregnancy. But it turns out that what was on their minds was not in line with the reality at that time. Someone called Zico's name from the gate.

All eyes turned to the direction of the voice. Zico, Ella, mama Maya and Bima are very surprised by the arrival of the demonic woman. Both Zico and Esther's parents are ordinary because they don't know the woman.

"Karina," Ella muttered softly and looked fearfully on her face.

Zico immediately stood up from his seat and half ran towards the gate. Anger and fear were clearly visible on his face. Zico even clenched his two palms vanishing an anger that he was unlikely to vent at this moment.

"Hi mas," said Karina with a very sweet smile but her eyes glanced towards Ella and the others.

"What are you here for?" zico replied with a glint of anger clearly visible in both of his eyeballs. Zico came out of the gate and pulled Karina's hand away from the gate.

"Bima and Ella are here. I guess you lied with what you said on the phone yesterday. Can I go in first?. I want to introduce myself to my two in-laws" Karina said calmly.

"Do you want Karina. We're divorced" Zico said slowly.

"We are divorced. But it's not closed to our possibility to refer."

"I'm no longer willing to refer to you fucking lady."

"Then, I will enter your house at any cost. I'm gonna leak everything that's happened, including the polygamy that's happened between us. You can imagine if both of your parents know who Bima really is being treated by your father. I'm very sure, if you've been offered by Mr. Yuda to work at his company. And you can imagine if there is chaos here. Papa Yuda will definitely not be hiring you."

"Karina, please don't do that. I just want to see Ella happy with her family."

"Then let me be happy by returning to be your wife."

"Marina..."

"Think mature mature mas. Ella could have been blamed for your divorce by both of your parents. She is pregnant young. Young pregnant women should not be stressed. What would it be if Pak Bima's treatment was not continued and even Ella got a curse on your divorce," Karina said calmly.

"alright. I'll think about your wish. But for now. Get out of this village."

"I want the answer now. If you are willing to refer me then I will wait for you to come home to us. Otherwise I'll still go into your parents' house" Karina threatened not to play.

"alright. We refer to it," answered Zico lethargic as helpless. He was forced to make that decision because Zico did not want to sacrifice Bima and Ella half. Zico knows the nature of his father. The treatment could be stopped if Karina managed to get out the words that cornered her Ella and Bima later. Zico doesn't want that to happen.
