AUTHOR POV
"Sister Nadine and Brother Ian where are they?"
"Keep how the story can fall in love.ceritain dong!"
Athena and Fiona asked while sitting on the kitchen island chair.
The movement of Nadine's hand fingers cutting vegetables immediately stopped. He was really confused how to explain it to them, because it has not been briefed by Adrian. Nadine was afraid of speaking wrongly.
Nadine and Adrian had never discussed what stories they should tell their families about their meetings.
"Hmm.I and Adrian have known for a long time. We met at the hospital. At that time I did not accidentally collide with him while walking." Nadine revealed is a fact.
His first meeting with Adrian began by crashing into each other in front of the ICU waiting room. But Nadine wouldn't explicitly tell Mama Diana, she would twist the story a little.
"At the hospital? How can..?!"
"Yes Mah.at that time I again nemenin my father check up health. If Adrian, he just happened to want to open a cast in the hand he said out of injury. Just want to redeem the drug, we accidentally collided. He finally helped me get the falling medicine."
"A few weeks later, I met Adrian at the cafe. From there we started to get to know each other and exchange numbers. And here we are, married now.."
Nadine started making up free and creating her own stories in her brain.
"Ouch.so it's so sweet! Probably cliche anyway, but the important thing is that my brother does.hahahaha!" fiona's laughter broke.
"Tell Arga, Brother Ian fast motion.In a short time immediately married! Be prepared, this house will be crowded with the presence of small children...." Athena coded her sister-in-law to immediately give her a niece.
"Totally..I can't wait to have a grandchild too. Must be giddy, can be made funny!" timpal Mama Diana's.
The response given by the three made Nadine stunned. They have great hopes for Nadine to soon have a baby. Though he and Adrian have not even a month married, but the pressure is already felt.
Actually that's not the case. The fact that he and Adrian were only married on contract, which actually disturbed his peace of mind.
They do not know if after 2 years later, Adrian and Nadine will divorce according to agreement. In addition, it is written in the contract that Adrian does not want any children in a temporary marriage.
Mama Diana realized that Nadine was uncomfortable with the conversation this time. It could be seen from the look on his face that displayed anxiety.
Mama Diana put down the knife she used to cut the meat and immediately approached her daughter-in-law.
"Honey.don't think about the words of your mother and sisters. It was just a distraction. We all do not require you to get pregnant quickly. Just enjoy the process.biar flow." Mama Diana who was holding Nadine's shoulder.
"Yes Mah.I am also relaxed. It's natural that Mama and Papa want to have a grandchild, that's normal."
Athena and Fiona come closer to Nadine. "I'm sorry if we talked wrong. We don't mean to make a brother think." They're afraid that Nadine will be offended.
A smile flashed on Nadine's face. "Ishhhh, what a good brother. No problem at all. That wasn't something to be exaggerated."
The four of them threw smiles at each other.
"Excuse me Madam, Non, I'm sorry to interrupt. Just now Mr. Alan asked me to call Non Athena and Non Fiona" said Chika, one of the servants at the mansion.
"Call for what? Where's Papa?" ask Fiona.
"Lack of knowing Non about why-why. I just got a message that Non awaited in the back garden."
"You two met Papa right there, afraid that something might be important!" mama Diana's.
"Okay Mah, we go back first."
Fiona and Athena put down the cookware they held to immediately meet Papa Alan in the garden.
"No need for Chika, you go back to the pavilion instead. I'm the same Nadine can handle this herself. Don't mind Nad?"
"Not Mah.. It's safe!" answer Nadine.
Chika finally resigned herself and returned to the employee pavilion.
"Mama's heard a lot about you, Nadine. I am so sorry for what happened to your family. I hope your father is calm there and your brother can be found."
Nadine smiled faintly. "Thank You Ma..Nadine really appreciates that."
"Oh yes Nad Mama can ask you something?"
"Ask what Mah?" Nadine looked at her mother-in-law
"Does Adrian still have nightmares in his sleep?"
DEGH....
Again Nadine was caught up in questions she could not answer. How could he know that he and Adrian never slept together!
"Mi.What nightmare is Mah? All this time, everything was fine. Nadine never knew about it!"
"Huh.thankfully, Mama is just afraid her nightmares often recur. Usually when Adrian's mood is bad or something stuck in his mind.he will experience nightmares to cold sweat all over the body."
"And that nightmare is not just an ordinary nightmare...Adrian will tantrum after."
"Nadine doesn't understand what Mama means?!"
"Honey..Adrian may never tell you this. But Mama will tell you. It's about Adrian."
"Mom don't scare me.is there the same Adrian Mah?" Nadine panic.
"Adrian has had poor mental health since childhood. The PTSD was caused by her experiencing a horrific event that traumatized her...
"It is not yet known for sure whether he can recover completely or not. Because in this situation, if Adrian's trigger.then it can bring back his bad memory accompanied by an intense emotional reaction."
"What terrible event did Mah have, until Adrian could have been like that?" Nadine begins to pry for information in the hope that she can better understand Adrian.
"When Adrian was 10 years old, he saw his real mother murdered in plain sight."
Nadine covered her mouth with both hands and was quite surprised to hear Mama Diana's confession.
"J-so Mama's not Adrian's real mother?" nadine is still in shock.
"No dear..Mama is just mom. Among Mama's children, only Adrian is the result of the child from Papa Alan's first marriage."
"But Mama was very sorry about the boy. Mama was afraid she was protracted in darkness and slump. That's why Mama was so happy when she said she was married to you. That means, slowly Adrian wants to change..."
Mama Diana clasped Nadine's hands together. Her eyes are soaked with tears.
"Adrian had already gone through many bad events in his life. When he used to live with his biological mother and stepfather, Adrian had experienced violence."
"So Mama please be very much the same you dear, stay by Adrian's side under any circumstances yes.please help him out of the darkness. You're the only hope we've got to get Adrian on the path of happiness" Mama Diana sobbed.
For some reason, hearing Mama Diana's story about Adrian was able to stifle the pain in Nadine's chest. She never thought that her contract husband's past was so weird.
Behind his cold and haughty demeanor, stored a million mysteries of sadness in it. Nadine tried to digest all the information she received slowly...
