Take Back My Husband

Not Want to Lose

Arya came out of her children's room before they woke up, she went straight to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. However, suddenly Lea came and his wife immediately prepared breakfast without saying a word to Arya.

"I ... want to help, Lea," Arya's great-grandson, but Lea didn't respond at all.

Arya does not give up, she notices what Lea is doing, and she can guess if Lea will make sandwiches for their two children.

"Let me cut the tomatoes" said Arya, taking the tomatoes that Lea had just removed from the refrigerator.

Lea still did not respond, and Arya no longer spoke.

They worked together to prepare breakfast without any conversation, and the atmosphere became awkward. Until suddenly the voice of the boy who was always able to make the hearts of Arya and Lea warm.

"Good morning!" exclaim Darrel with spirit.

"Morning, dear," Lea replied with a sweet smile.

Arya could only throw a smile at her son, then she continued her work.

While Lea now approached Jihan who looked pale also limp. "What's up, honey?" Lea directly touched Jihan's cheeks and forehead. "You're a little hot" muttered Lea.

"Sickness, Mama," jihan chirped innocently which made Lea chuckle. "Jihan's head is like turning right and left."

"Jihan is just not feeling well, later also healed after eating and resting," concluded Lea while lifting Jihan in her sling, after which Lea resumed her work

"Is he feverish?" arya asked who could see Jihan's eyes blushing, even her daughter's lips were slightly red than usual.

However, Lea did not answer Arya's question, making the man feel even more sick, even he almost cried especially when Lea did not use the tomatoes he had cut. It was as if Lea wanted to say that she no longer needed Arya in the slightest.

"Mama, want a lot of sausages," whined Jihan while leaning her head on Lea's shoulder.

"Mama, Darrel wants that bread yesterday, that tastes cheese" Darrel said.

"Alright, wait a minute," Lea pinta calmly.

"Mama, Jihan's gonna pee." Jihan patted Lea's shoulder.

"Okay, let's go to the bathroom, hold on!"

Lea immediately gave Darrel the bread she wanted, before she finally took Jihan to the bathroom before her daughter wet her bed.

Not long after, Lea came back and she was still holding Jihan who looked very limp, making Arya anxious.

"Are we taking Jihan to the doctor?" arya asked, she was even about to touch Jihan's forehead, but suddenly Lea brushed off her hand, making Arya's heart immediately feel sad.

Especially when Lea immediately sat in her chair, then she was about to feed Jihan, as if Arya was just a meaningless display there.

"Mama, Jihan won't eat, either" Jihan said as Lea tried to bribe her.

"But Jihan has to eat, honey, let Jihan's head turn to the right and to the left" Lea said. "Jihan ate a little, huh?"

Jihan closed her mouth while shaking her head.

"Well, it's okay if Jihan doesn't want to eat" Lea said. "But now you want to ask, Jihan prefers bread alone or sausage only?" ask Lea later.

"Sausage only," Jihan replied later.

"Sausage must be better," Lea chuckled while feeding Jihan, and the daughter wanted to eat sausage even though she said she didn't want to eat.

Arya noticed how Lea was taking care of her two children at once, and she smiled sadly as she realized Lea was so patient in taking care of the two boys who still did not understand anything, especially when Jihan is sick like this.

Lea even knew how to persuade Jihan to keep eating, without forcing her daughter.

"Mom, Darrel wants some cold chocolate milk," Darrel's pinta.

"Yes, but finish the bread first" Lea said, taking chocolate milk from the refrigerator.

The same commotion and hassles every day because of their children, but Arya feels the atmosphere feels warmer and more fluid when Lea takes care of them than she does Chelsea.

"What do you want to cook for lunch, Lea?" asked Arya who was still trying to make the atmosphere between herself and Lea more fluid. However, it seems that Lea is really done with Arya.

"Lea?" lirih Arya was clear, but Lea really did not care anymore about Arya's feelings.

...🦋...

"I think you should break up your relationship!"

Chelsea looked up when she heard what her mother said.

"I mean Mama?" ask Chelsea with fused forehead.

"I mean Mama, it would be better if you do not become the destroyer of your own best friend's household, Chelsea," said Ms. Erma.

"Everything is done, Ma" said Chelsea. "For Leah herself gave us her blessing."

"Why are you here then? Shouldn't you be at Lea's house and approaching her kids?"

Chelsea could only take a rough breath hearing what Mother said, making Chelsea remember how Arya ignored her.

"Are you not able to approach them?"

Ms. Erma looked at her daughter's face.

"I just need a little bit of time to get used to them" Chelsea said.

Miss Erni can only shake her head, she believes something is wrong with the relationship between Chelsea and Arya. Bu Erni's instincts say their relationship is on the verge of a rift.

...🦋...

The more daylight, Jihan's body temperature gets hotter. It made Lea worried, but she tried not to panic. Moreover, he had received instructions from his doctor how to treat Jihan well.

Lea needed extra energy to take care of Jihan because her daughter became so fussy when she was sick, the boy did not even want to escape from Lea's sling.

"Mama, Darrel has a school assignment!" exclaiming Darrel approached Lea while carrying his school bag.

"Shhhttt!"

Lea immediately gestured for Darrel not to make a loud noise as Jihan was about to fall asleep.

"Wait a minute, honey, until your sister goes to sleep" whispered Lea.

"Still long?" tanya Darrel scowled.

"In a moment," Lea said as she held onto her shoulder which was aching because Jihan's weight was no longer light. However, Lea endured all that pain and fatigue for the sake of her son.

"Do the same Papa, Darrel," said Arya who suddenly came. "Let Mama take care of sister."

"No way," Darrel refused firmly. "Darrel wants to do it with Mama!"

Arya immediately looked at Lea with a glare, but Lea threw away her face.

"Papa also pinta you know," said Arya later. "Papa believes later the value of Darrel will be high if Papa is taught."

"Correct?" ask Darrel.

Arya nodded while smiling widely.

"From now on, Papa will be Darrel's teacher and friend when he's on assignment." Arya said while glancing at Lea. "And Papa will try to be a playmate also for you because Mama does not want to lose you."
