"We'd better get this baby out."
"What?" Axelle was surprised to hear a sentence that slid from Irene's mouth without her thinking first.
"Are you crazy?" Axelle begins to ride apoplexy over Irene's silly decision.
"Listen to me ..." He threw Irene's fingers into his grasp. "I'll be in charge of that baby. We'll take care of him together as his father and mother. Do you want that child to be the same fate as us? Growing up without the affection of parents."
Axelle sighed for a moment. Then gently caressed Irene's face.
"Originally you know, I'm very happy. That boy is proof of our love. Now, it's not just you. But you two are the most important thing in my life. I don't want to lose you both. Understood?"
Irene could only smile at Axelle's earnestness. Hopefully Axelle is really serious and confident in his words.
"Now I'm taking you home. You rest at home. Don't do anything. If I'm hungry, I'll just buy food from outside. I want you to get enough rest. Did you hear what the doctor said? I promise, I'll finish all my work soon. Okay?"
Irene smiled again as she nodded slowly. A single brief kiss landed on his forehead.

Fortunately, the filming process has been ramoung. Axelle has done his job as well as he can. It looks like the supporting cast and crew are joking with each other, giving each other farewell greetings, and encouraging each other.
Axelle is getting ready. He wants to go home soon, because he remembers Irene being alone. Irene is currently pregnant.
"Boni, have all my things been packed?" Axelle asked while tidying up her clothes in the room where she usually sleeps if she is exhausted and waiting for the next shoot.
"Had the Boss. Just take it to the car, right?"
"Yes already."
Boni rushed Axelle's belongings to her car. Leaving Axelle who was getting ready. Because Irene was so worried, making Axelle impatient to see her soon. The miss is unbearable.
With a hasty move Axelle left the location. Rushed to his parked car. But his steps must stop because the director who came to him.
"Axelle." Call the director while approaching Axelle.
"Thank you for your hard work. The film is finally finished and will be released soon." Director's speech.
"Together Bang."
"Oh yeah, where are you going?"
"Bang home."
"Why rush home. Come with us-we first. The plan is to go to the club to celebrate the success of our filming. You have to go with Axelle. You are the star."
"Sorry Bang, I can't. I need to get home soon. My wife is waiting at home."
"Seek permission to dong with your wife. I'm sure your wife will let you."
"Sorry Bang, I'll say goodbye." Regardless of the director Axelle was again about to step foot. But again had to stop because Clarissa who had come from nowhere suddenly stood before him.
"Why rush home? We celebrate our successes with others. We're going to the club. You're coming, huh?" Pinta Clarissa's.
"I can't." Reject Axelle firmly.
"The Game on Axelle. Usually you are the most enthusiastic about this. You even often bring me. Why are you so stupid now?"
"Now things are different. I used to be happy to come along. Because no one was worried about me, no one cared about me. But now, everything is different."
"Because of that village girl you're like this?" Clarissa grinned thinly.
Axelle didn't comment on Clarissa's response. Back he continued his steps towards his parked car where Boni had been waiting inside. The night began to crawl.
"Bon, hurry up a little." Tell Axelle to be impatient on the way home.
"Yes Boss. This eike is the fastest. Why is the boss in such a hurry to get home?"
"Don't ask too many questions. Just drive the right."
"Okay Boss."
"Oh yeah, Bon. Lately Zaky rarely come home? To the location sometimes."
"Oh yeah?" Axelle. Why didn't Zaky tell him he was going abroad. Why else would he go there if not to see his parents. But what's wrong? They usually also connect by phone. Unless there's something urgent.
"The boss doesn't know?"
"He never told me anything."
Axelle's mind is getting more branched. Lately he feels Zaky is starting to change. Zaky looked like he was hiding something from her. Axelle could only exhale for a long time. Why is he thinking about Zaky anyway. All he had to think about now was Irene.
Maybe it was time he also had to think about his future. This wedding ceremony has to end soon, before it's too late. Soon he had to legally marry Irene, not pretend anymore. After all, he had already solidified his heart for Irene. He doesn't want any more falsehood between them. Maybe Irene was the soul mate God sent for her.
Especially now that Irene is pregnant with her child. If I could be honest, she was really happy. God gave her the most beautiful gift of her life. He was determined not to let the boy have the same fate as him. Growing up without the love of parents.
Axelle turned his face. Staring at every object they passed by with a faint smile etched on his face.

Arriving at home, the scenery that he should not have witnessed was actually presented before his eyes at this time. Axelle rushed down from the car and approached Zaky who was chatting with Irene in front of the house. In Irene's hand hung a small paper bag labeled with overseas brands.
"Axelle, are you home?" Zaky's question as well as a greeting.
Axelle's face changed instantly. Upset at that sight. Zaky shouldn't have done this. He even confessed his feelings to Irene. Why is Zaky still persistently trying to get close to Irene. Does Zaky think he's just playing around?
"I got word, shouldn't you be abroad?" Axelle asked. He was really curious about the purpose of Zaky's arrival.
"I just got back."
"You should rest. You must be tired. Aye right?"
"Not really." Zaky. He knew Axelle was insinuating him. Axelle told him to go home. Roughly, Axelle kicked him out. But I didn't say it directly. Axelle showed it through subtle innuendo.
"What's that?" Axelle asked then while pointing the paper bag in Irene's hand.
"Oh ... It's a little gift from Zaky." Answer Irene. Though actually the question Axelle asked for Zaky.
"Happy to get from another man?" Axelle even became annoyed to see the face of Irene.
"What do you mean Axelle?" Irene looked at Axelle with a frown.
"It's late at night. We better get in." No matter the situation, Axelle pulled on Irene's wrist, inviting her in. But his steps came to a halt when he heard the words that came out of Zaky's mouth.
"Father is sick."
Axelle's steps stopped. Then turned his body, looked at Zaky who was still standing in the doorway and looked at him seriously.
Axelle removed her grip from Irene's wrist.
"You go in first. There's something I need to talk to him about." Axelle.
Although there was anxiety and a little curiosity in her heart, Irene could not refute Axelle's words. He also went to his room.
"Our father is sick." Said Zaky once again as he walked over.
"I'm so sorry."
"That's all?"
"Then what should I say?"
"Dad misses you so much."
"If he really misses me, he shouldn't have dumped me like this."
"You should understand what father's position is."
"Yes. It should be like that. I should understand the position of a husband who is always under his wife's armpits. Dare to do but dare not take responsibility." Axelle's growl held back anger. Then he turned around to leave Zaky.
"Your mother is alive." Zaky said suddenly. Until that very second, his steps stopped once again.
