ADRIAN PERSUADING

...NADINES...

My gestational age is 5 months now, which means my pregnancy has entered the second trimester. During those 5 months, various sorrows I have experienced considering the pregnancy hormones that go up and down making my mood so erratic.

I also noticed that there were some significant differences that came out when I had my maiden pregnancy. The most obvious is the part of my body that is getting swollen every day.

Starting from my stomach that is bulging, my cheeks that feel full and filled, then my legs that are sometimes linu and slightly swollen. Secretly I often feel insecure myself seeing changes in my body shape like this.

But of all that, what I like the most is that I no longer have morning sickness. No more drama again, morning sickness. For God's sake, those first 3 months of pregnancy really tormented me. Fortunately I got through it all.

"Let's eat, why stop?" adrian said that had persuaded me to eat, but I did not taste.

Right now my beloved husband and I are enjoying lunch together at our backyard dining table located near the edge of the pool. I deliberately asked for it because I miss the outdoor atmosphere, the weather is good.

"I am full" I replied lazily.

"What did you say? You haven't even touched a spoonful of food since. Just fruit and vegetables. You need Nadine's protein!" adrian said in a cold tone.

"I really need protein. But this cuisine that our personal cooks make is tasteless! It's too plain.I don't like it!" my protest.

"Well, if your blood pressure wasn't high at the last check-up maybe the story would be different" Adrian replied.

True what he said. If my last checkup word showed good results, Adrian would not be able to be strict and control my diet in such a way.

I've been tormented this week with food that doesn't taste. The doctor stated that my uterine blood vessels are somewhat smaller, thus inhibiting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to my fetus. As a result, I have to reduce the consumption of foods with excess salt levels.

"I want to eat junk food like cheese pizza, hamburgers, or french fries. I really missed them a lot.." I whined to Adrian.

"No. It's a big.big.no." Adrian does not want to be disputed. "From before you got pregnant until now, I always strictly forbid you to eat junk food, you know that!"

"But I seem to crave, I really want to eat that food.please!!" I debated Adrian coming back and deliberately using my baby so that my request was obeyed.

"I'm sorry dear Mommy." I muttered as I stroked my stomach under the table.

"Don't test my patience Nadine! I've put all my business aside to accompany you to lunch. So please for God sake, just eat it!" adrian said carefully despite the emphasis of each word.

"Okay.." I grumbled while stirring up the food that was on top of my plate.

Today, Adrian has an important meeting schedule with clients that should not be left behind. But since I was in a hunger-strike queen drama mode, she was willing to leave all her work and go straight home with just one call.

Change is not happening in me, it's happening to Adrian. He who used to always be indifferent, cold, flat and quiet, is now transformed into a more caring figure. The dose of his attention only added a little, because the rest of him was still just as haughty.

Adrian did not clearly show his affection for me. But I could feel the warmth of every little thing he did. Secretly, I often caught her reading books about parenting and pregnancy. He learned a lot from internet videos how to be a good father.

I myself have not dared to confirm if Adrian has 100 percent received this pregnancy with roomy. At least there is progress even a little, I am happy not to play. The iceberg defense wall that my husband made long ago melted away as well over time.

During the first 2 months of living in LA, I regularly accompanied Adrian to come to the psychologist for a consultation about his mental health..

Yeah, Los Angeles.

After the drama of Galih and David's arrest incident was over, Adrian and I did not immediately return to Bali as planned. We chose the extension to stay longer. Unlike my in-laws and sisters-in-law who still return home.

About Adrian's job, I don't know how he handled it during our time in LA. I just took it easy and chose not to interfere with it.

About 1 month ago, Adrian and I finally decided to go home. Not Adrian's will, I whine and force to go home because I homesick. Besides, soon it will also enter the celebration of Christmas and New Year. I want to celebrate with Adrian's extended family and Nathan's brother.

Speaking of Brother Nathan, my brother was furious after finding out I was pregnant. Not because I didn't like it, but more to the feeling of not being appreciated as a sister because I reported this important news through a video call. How else, my delayed return forced me to tell him via video call.

"Darling.." call me spoiled to Adrian.

I no longer have the shame to call her dear, because I love her. You could even say I'm in love. Funny right? Adrian never protested with that name either.

"Hmmm...?" Adrian did not turn around and was still busy cutting the steak on his plate.

I put my fork spoon on the table and called back to him so that his focus was diverted to look at me. "Adrian Rhys Natadipura..."

"Nadine Zerina Natadipura?!" Adrian said my name back.

I'm pissed off. He still won't look. "Facing here Adrian..."

I smiled faintly and advanced my chair to get closer. "We took a walk to the Mall, to buy Christmas presents for the family."

"You alone go, I take it. The money later I love," said Adrian relaxed while wiping the remnants of food at the corner of his lips with a napkin.

I round my eyes wide. "Well, you can't dong! A Christmas gift is something personal. If you want to buy it for someone, you have to choose yourself!"

"Who wants to give you a gift, not me. So why do I bother buying? I can transfer money directly to the sisters, they would rather hold it than a gift."

"You shall buy them things that you can keep and never forget! Please, accompany me to the Mall?" I was writhing spoiled in Adrian's arms hoping that his hard heart could collapse.

"Ckkk.kamu nadine pregnant again, would be exhausted if the shopping center around all day."

"It is precisely because I am pregnant that you must take care of me and accompany me!"

"I still don't want to. We better shop online only through the market place."

I pat Adrian on the shoulder. "You're so mean! Come on once! Is it hard to take a minute? If your work business is fast, told to nemenin wife for a while even do not want!"

"I don't like doing that. I never buy gifts, I never celebrate Christmas or a new year with my family. Every year, I go through it all myself. This is a strange thing for me!" terang Adrian's.

"Just because it's the first time, make it a valuable first time experience for you. We need moments.." I asked to clarify by showing my puppy eyes.

If I have issued this exact style, it is certain Adrian will not refuse.

"Please yeah.themenin me!" I kissed Adrian's shoulder at a glance and rubbed his arm to seduce him.

"No." she answered briefly.

I curled my lips down and outlined our embrace. I threw my face away while folding my hands over my chest with a feeling of annoyance.

"Nadine..don't be childish.." said Adrian.

I'm still silent ignoring him. Let it be, let him know how to feel if ignored.

Adrian then grabbed my hand and forced me to stand up, then he pulled my body to sit on his lap. Swiped my distended stomach with tenderness.

My heart was beating fast and at once the wrong behavior was made. This guy can always keep me from picking because of his sweet attitude. It seems like I've really been lured deeper by her charm.

"Maine..." Adrian flanked my chin so I could look him in the eye. "I told you I'm not used to it. I've never done that before."

I put my arm around Adrian's neck. "Then let me help you.you said you want to recover from trauma and live a normal life. Start with something simple" I paused for a moment.

"Stop to stay away from people who love you. Have a good relationship with your mom, dad, and sisters. I'm sure you can. We celebrate Christmas and New Year together, right?" my continue.

Adrian shaking. "The answer still, No."

"Yes." Yeah."

"No, Nadine"

"Yes, Adrian"

"No.no...and no!"

"Please.." My eyes changed.

Adrian turned his face away and exhaled his coarse breath.

"Fine!"

And finally! Finally my handsome husband is also broken.

"Yeahyyy!!! I love you.." I hurriedly moved my face to kiss Adrian's lips and gripped him for a long time.

Adrian did not refuse. He even further tightened the circumference of his hands on my waist and tightened our kisses deeper.
