...ADRIAN...
I grieve for my own stupidity which carelessly did not lock the door of this room. As a result, Nadine now sobbed after knowing the contents of my secret room.
As for me, I could only freeze to death not knowing how to explain to her because I was too shocked to speak.
It never crossed my mind to tell Nadine about the existence of this room until the delivery. I want to close this secret.
Not because I wanted this to be a surprise, but because I wasn't ready to tell her about our baby room. Yes, nursery room. That's what I've been keeping secret for months.
"When did you make this room Adrian?" ask Nadine lirih. The melody of his voice sounded soft like a whisper that made my heart warm.
"I made it when your gestational age entered 4 months," I replied straightforwardly.
"Aided, or assisted?"
"Self." I replied briefly.
Nadine looked at me with her puppies so distinctive. "That's really sweet of you.."
Is that so? I don't think what I'm doing is gonna look so sweet on Nadine's eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning, if you've already made a nursery for our children?" investigate Nadine while linking her eyebrows together.
I put both my shoulders together and pursed my lips. "Let's know.I'm too embarrassed to admit it," I replied.
"This nursery is the result of my own efforts to build it. Starting from the interior, the furniture, I choose all. Even this wall I painted it." I said honestly.
For my children, I always want the best. A long time before, I contacted interior designers to make the concept of the room exclusive to their room.
I pay attention to all aspects of the design, lighting, and fittings and layout as perfect as possible so that the finishing looks good. The execution, still I handle everything myself.
Nadine was so amazed that she relaxed our embrace. Slowly, he walked over to the closet that contained a lot of fancy baby clothes that I bought from a well-known brand.
Nadine's hand was stretched out to pick up small toys for babies neatly arranged on a blue shelf. "This one, you bought it?" Nadine raised her hand to shake the little doll she was holding.
I nodded in agreement. "Yes. Every time I come home from work or after going on a business trip, I always take the time to go to the toy store. Buy that!" I pointed at the toys.
"Nobody knows about this room before Nad, I'm the only one. I never allowed anyone to enter this area. That's why I was shocked when the waiter at the house told me that you came here."
Nadine walked over and then cupped both sides of my face. The subtle sweeps from both palms on my cheeks made me weak. My heart warmed up immediately to get this kind of treatment.
Being near Nadine always has its own effects that I find difficult to explain. My tough self changed like a obedient kitten.
"I didn't see this coming." Nadine shook her head smiling wrongly.
"You know, I didn't think you'd make a nursery. I even had time to ask for a baby's room Christmas present from you, because I thought you wouldn't have made it if you hadn't been forced extra,"
"I'm sorry that I doubted you. You care so much about our children" he continued. Both Nadine's netra are back in tears. "I'm so happy Adrian, I'm happy..."
God, I hate to see her cry like this. Even if it was a cry of happiness, I was not willing to see him shed tears just for me.
"I don't blame you Nadine. I am not convinced myself. When I first found out you were pregnant, my first reaction was less than pleasant. It's only natural that you doubt." I grabbed Nadine's waist so that our bodies could stick together.
"But I know you've done your best. Look at this!" Nadine rolled her eyes into the room. "Secretly you've made the nursery without my knowledge." Nadine put her hand around my neck.
"I'm sorry for the bad treatment I've done in the past. I've been evil because I once had the thought of eliminating our flesh and blood. I'm evil.." I said softly.
I felt that I really needed to apologize to Nadine, to my children who were in her stomach. I shouldn't have attributed my past traumas and put all that resentment on them. I regret.
"Hey it's okay.I'm not angry. I can understand all your attitudes. It's all in the past. You're not a bad person, you just don't know to be a good person because your trauma is so deep. It was just a natural fear and worry" Nadine said.
I don't know what good deeds I've done in the past that I was so lucky to have a woman who understood me so much, loved me sincerely. I'm such a lucky bast*rd.
"Don't know Nad, every time I remember him I always feel guilty. I'm a really bad guy!" I bow my head in shame.
"It's all a new feeling to me. I have to admit that in my past, it made me a little less confident that I would be a good father. That fact always lingered in my head and raised fear to the core."
"I was so stressed and anxious to attack me. That's why I was impulsive in the early days of your pregnancy. Steadily, I ignored you just because I was afraid that you would see my bad side. Then consciousness came to my mind."
I expressed all the uneg-unegs entrenched in my heart at length, hoping Nadine could understand and would forgive my mistakes. Even though I knew he'd be ruined, too.
It's not hard to conquer Nadine's heart because she's the innocent, kind woman I've met. I came to think, what is his sincere heart made of? He accepted what I was unconditionally.
"I'm sorry for everything that you've been through, Adrian. You are a very valuable person, and you should know that. You will be a good father to our children. Never have any doubts.." Nadine pulled my hand to rub her distended stomach.
"From now on, I'll try to be the best version of myself. I promise to do my best for you and our little family. Help me, accompany me, never get bored and think about leaving me," I said sincerely, reciprocated by a nod from Nadine.
"I will never leave you unless you ask for it yourself" he said.
Unfortunately it will never happen. I don't want to be a fool to let this woman in front of me go far from my side. It won't. Nadine is mine, only mine. And that's absolute.
"Hmm.alright. We're out now, it's dinner time. Sinta said, you haven't eaten since you entered this room. Outside there was Arjuna too.." I wiped the tear marks that were still attached to the cheeks of her bully.
"Loh Arjuna is here?" ask Nadine.
"Yes, he came to my office. Then we decided to go home together. Arjuna will stay here last night. It's okay, right?"
"Yes nothing dong Adrian.he's my sister too. Free to stay at any time, do not need permission.kan this your home. I'm even happy to have Arjuna, so it's crowded." Nadine was so enthusiastic.
It is not difficult to make him happy, only with a simple treatment like this he is happy. Nadine is a cheap smile.
"Yes, you take a shower first.I prepare the warm water first!" said Nadine.
"No. I can do it myself."
"Don't forbid me, there's no harm in me preparing the necessities for my own husband. Let's just say it's a treat in return because you've made a beautiful nursery like this for our baby." Nadine.
I laughed softly. "All right, it's up to you."
"Let's go.we go to the room!" Nadine flanked her hand on my arm.
But before I leave, I want to say a sentence that will make her happy.
"Maine..."
"Yes?" Nadine looked up at me.
"I love you..."
