TerLove (Love After Wedding)

Deteriorated

A cloudy morning seemed to mourn the passing of Anas. Little rain as if the sky was crying. A lot of people took the good man away to the last bed. Everyone was sad and lost their figure.

Anas is known as a kind and friendly person. Almost all of his neighbors and closest people had received his help. Both in terms of energy, morals and matter which although the amount is not large but its sincerity that imprint in the hearts of all people.

Cantika continues to hysterically cry over her husband's departure. He even fainted several times so he could not go to the funeral. Bu Sofi and Riri as well as some close neighbors were accompanying her at home.

"Mas.." That's the first word that came out of his mouth when he came to his senses.

"Son, who's stoic!" Bu Sofi stroked the child's head. He was hurt to see Cantika like that. He knew exactly what the woman was feeling because she had once been in the same position.

"Where is Mas Anas?" Cantika got up while wailing.

Riri rubbed her half-sister's shoulder. "Sister, Brother's husband is calm now there. Better let brother take it."

Cantika stared intently at the girl. "Lo said what just now? You should know that my husband is still alive."

The other mothers also calmed down even though Cantika did not want to listen.

"Patiently, now Anas has been taken to the funeral. His spirit would surely be sad if he saw you destroyed like this."

Cantika ran while shouting hysterically. The crying has not yet subsided. "Mas Anas's... I have to prevent them from putting you there!"

Everyone comes out of the house to pursue women who now behave like lost people. Cantika ran so fast without footwear. Wept all the way until she finally arrived at the village's only public cemetery, right near the lake she had been with her husband.

"Don't bury my husband! Have you gone mad, buried the living?"

His mind is unstable. On the other hand, she did not believe that the body was Anas, but on the other hand, she acted as if it was really her husband but was still alive.

Everyone looked at him with all sorts of feelings. Some were sad, pitying and some were staring at him shuddering. Cantika is not sane, that's the same thought for everyone.

Mr. Permana tried to calm down. "Well, your husband is gone. Allow him to find peace in nature. Look, if Anas is really alive, then surely right now he won't let you cry."

Cantika stared at the stiff body lying on the ground. He slightly retreated from the edge of the burial pit.

"But right, bury the body as long as it doesn't use my husband's name. Anas is still alive. I have to find him. Papi, my husband must be somewhere."

Mr. Permana pulled the hand of his daughter who was about to leave again. "Son, awake. Anas is dead."

Cantika screamed again as she muttered to beat her father's chest. "Evil fire, my husband has not yet departed from this world. Mas Anas is alive. I'll find out for myself if Papi doesn't believe me. I'm a...." His body was hollow again in his father's arms.

Cantika was brought back to Anas' house. After he realized, Mr. Permana intended to bring his daughter to his house, but Cantika refused. The woman insisted on waiting for her husband there. Finally Mr. Permana and Bu Sofi and Riri stayed at the house to accompany Cantika.

**

Week pass. Cantika is no longer hysterical. But the tears were still faithfully down his face even in silence. Slowly she realized that it was true that her husband had left, even though her heart could not accept.

Riri and all her best friends always faithfully accompany and entertain. But it was all for nothing. His mind and heart were still attached to the figure of the man who had become half of his life.

Cantika is still alive, but only her body. Her soul has gone with her beloved husband. She is like a statue that can breathe. Don't wanna talk to anybody.

"Cantika, sorry. I was still in London when you heard your husband died. There are some businesses I have to take care of. It's also coming home from there, I came straight here to worry about you." Yes, Peter's showing up. The man sat next to Cantika. But apparently the greeting and pleasantries had no effect at all.

Riri immediately went inside the room next to the living room. She felt uncomfortable seeing her former fiance pay attention to her half-sister.

"Peter, Ika still can't talk. He looks like he's still in shock. I can't remember if her husband doesn't exist." Rubi Say.

"Gue knows." Relax, soon I will make Cantika smile again.

Cantika wiped her tears as she moved from her seat. Tina and Ariel accompanied her for fear that she would do something.

Cantika sat on the sofa of the upper room while hugging her wedding photo with Anas. "Mas, I miss you...." All the words that were said were about her husband.

The two friends hugged Ika and cried. They can't bear to watch it fall.

While downstairs, Peter and other Cantika friends are still talking. They talked about Anas' death and also about Cantika's attitude of concern.

Good news's. Finally today arrived too. I can get a full chance to have Cantika again. Peter smiled in his heart.

"Poor Cantika, she must be currently very tormented." The man put on a sad face.

"Peter, Lo seems to still love Ika." Gladis.

"Until now, Cantika is still the most special girl I've ever had." Steady speech.

"Lo want to turn it around again with Ika?" Rubi asked.

"You have a soul mate, of course I want to."

In the room, Riri who was able to catch their chat, was now sobbing. His heart is torn when he finds out that Peter is still expecting Cantika. That means he was never in the heart of his former fiancee.

"Why am I still like this? I want to forget him." He said slowly to himself.

After an hour had passed, all the guests had left. Riri met her stepbrother upstairs with food.

"Sister, I'm in?!"

"Sister, if I were in Big Brother's current position, maybe I would also be tormented like Big Brother. Losing the one we love is the most painful thing."

A moment later, Cantika blinked. He looked at his half-sister deeply.

"Ri, are you crying?"

Riri rubbed a clear grain from her cheek. "Sister, I just don't have the heart to see Big Brother like this. I love you, Sister Cantika."

"Thank you. You and Mama Sofi are so good with me." Cantika hugged the girl while her hand was still holding the photo.

"Sister, eat first let Brother not be sick. I'm a bribe."

Cantika nodded slowly while smiling crazily. He missed that moment. It's fine if the one who bribed her was her half-sister.

"Eat a lot." Riri started to feed.

Slowly Cantika's mouth opened as her tears were again breaking. She remembered the figure of her husband. A single bribe was so hard for him to chew. Her chest is getting tighter. Riri wiped those tears.

"SISTER, SPIRIT. Mas Anas must be sad if he knows Big Brother like this."

Cantika painstakingly swallowed the tasteless food. His throat swallows a lot of thorns. At the second mouth, his mouth would no longer open.

"Ri, I'm not strong. I can't afford to lose Mas Anas." The crying is getting worse.

At that time, Bu Sofi and her husband appeared. They calmed Cantika down.

"But I miss my husband." Cantika as a hug in her father's arms.

The middle-aged man was crying. He spoke while gently rubbing his daughter's head. "Dear dear, you must be strong. Papi, Mama Sofi and Riri and many more of your friends will always be there. We won't let you go through this difficult time alone."

Bu Sofi was not strong to make a sound, her chest tightened. Cantika's every attitude makes her retreat into the past. He seemed to see a reflection of himself on the figure of the princess.

**

The next day Mr. Permana brought his daughter back to live in his house. That he did so that Cantika did not drag on in grief.

Cantika is currently sitting on the bed. Her mind was always on the figure of her husband. Wherever he was, only Anas' smile appeared before his face.

"Mas, why did you leave me? I love you so much, I miss you Mas...."

The woman hugged her own knee. His eyes were getting swollen as every time the water of sadness flowed.

Cantika got up towards the bathroom when her stomach felt nauseous. This time he was vomiting. For nearly ten minutes he was pulling a disgusting liquid out of his stomach.

The woman leaned against the wall while holding her stomach. His body's getting limp. His head felt a little throbbing. Could this be the effect of continuing to cry and also not wanting to eat? That's what's on his mind.

Cantika slowly walked out of the bathroom. He laid his body on the bed and covered everything until all he could see was his head. Suddenly his body was cold.

Sofi went into the room and approached her.

"Cantika, you shiver. Are you sick?" put the palm on the forehead of his stepson. There was no voice of the man behind the blanket.

Bu Sofi also took the initiative to call the obstetrician home. After half an hour, the doctor came and immediately checked the state of Cantika.

"With a common fever, there is no need to worry. It was just that his body condition was extremely weak. You should always provide nutritious food. Do not let him experience excessive stress because it will affect the development of the fetus."

"Fetus?" asked Cantika with a trembling voice.

"Yes, you're pregnant. Your gestational age has entered 7 weeks."

Cantika shed tears. His feelings are jumbled between grateful and also sad considering that his future son has no father figure.

Bu Sofi forgot to tell the doctor to keep Cantika's pregnancy a secret. But it's too late. He could only hope that if his stepson could face everything strongly.

"Congratulations, Cantika. I pray that you and your baby are always healthy. Take care of your health and don't mind too much."

When he finished his business, the doctor went home. Bu Sofi sat on the edge of the bed. Cantika rubbed her stomach while shedding tears.

"Mama, I'm happy with this kid's presence. But I'm also sad, pity him for being an orphan even when his body isn't formed."

Bu Sofi hugged and rubbed Cantika's head. "Cantika, be thankful that in your body lies the fruit of your love. You have to look after him. Now eat and then take the vitamins given by the Doctor."

Bu Sofi took food in the kitchen and then fed it to her stepson. Cantika forced himself to eat and consume vitamins for the sake of his future baby. He had to keep the flesh blood of Anas that was now growing on his body.
