One month after Javier and Alea moved into their new home, not much has changed. It's just that Javier's emotions began to stabilize, but it had no effect on Alea's psychic condition. She was still afraid to talk to her husband. Only if Javier needs anything will he talk to the man. But if nothing else, the woman prefers silence. For him silence is the best way to treat injuries deliberately nailed by Javier. And sure enough, it managed to make Javier careless. Sometimes the man intentionally upset Alea, but the woman ignored him. If Alea had responded by crying, but now. Maybe time has changed him. Like at the moment. Alea was cooking in the kitchen to Javier's liking, but the man had deliberately changed their dinner menu without telling Alea beforehand, which of course upset Alea, but as much as possible he brushed off the frustration. For him, the debate will not solve the problem.
"I don't want to eat fried chicken. I want her to eat a stick". Javier said as if protesting Alea's cooking menu.
"alright". Alea answered briefly.
"Got no. I want asparagus. Ah, not just spaghetti like soto chicken, fried rice, and. clear vegetables". So many menus are deliberately called by Javier, making Alea curse in the heart.
'Ni human people what genie anyway?. It wants a lot. He wants to open a restaurant. Fucking chameleons'.
"Are you swearing at me?". Javier's question made Alea's forehead wrinkle deep.
"Did I say something?". Alea's answer made Javier misbehave. The man thought he had managed to upset Alea, yet the woman's face seemed flat expressionless.
"alright. Cook all the menus I mentioned. Remember, no one is left behind". Javier's Word. He deliberately suppressed the word 'No one left behind' for Alea to feel annoyed.
Alea did not answer Javier's words, he just stayed focused on his cooking. While Javier was confused by Alea's calm demeanor. Javier was forced to leave Alea in the kitchen, the man headed for the living room not far from the kitchen. Every now and then the man saw Alea who was struggling with her homework, there was a hint of guilt in Javier's mind when he saw Alea rubbing the sweat on his forehead.
"Am I being too much?. Yes already. That's business". Javier monologue.
One hour for Alea to finish all the dishes desired by Javier. The man was amazed when all the menus presented at the dining table there was nothing less than his desire.
"You cook this much who wants to eat?". Javier asked with an angry expression. Though he deliberately only wanted to see Alea's annoyance.
"Later to share with the neighbors. Just tell me my employer's having a birthday". Answer's short.
"Just boy. Did I work hard to feed the neighbors?".
"Then finish all this food if you want". Alea stomped the tablespoon on the plate served by her and passed away leaving Javier still silent because of Alea's reply.
"Why is he angry?. I should be angry". Javier did not care about Alea's departure, he just raised his shoulders a sign of indifference, and he was cool to eat all the food menu made by his wife. And it turns out that all the food in the taste is very appetizing.
"Well, it turns out he's good at cooking too. But why didn't he eat?. Did I just deliver this food to her room?". There was a little bit of pity in Javier's heart when he remembered Alea had worked hard to cook all the food available, he also took food that if he liked by his wife.
Javier had arrived at Alea's doorstep, hesitating to knock on her door. But when he wanted to knock on the door, suddenly Alea's room door opened and Alea looked neatly dressed in a mini dress and lined with knit sweaters to cover her body.
"Where are you going?". Javier asked with a frown.
"I'm going out for a minute". Alea answered briefly as if he wanted to ignore Javier.
"Who gave you permission to leave?". Reply Javier.
"All right, I'm not leaving". Alea replied while closing the door a little loudly.
BRACKET...
"Alea open the door. I want a bica--". Javier had not finished his sentence Alea's room door opened again.
"What's wrong?". Ask Alea flatly.
"Ehem, my A brought you some food. Be eating. I know you haven't eaten since then and-".
"Thank you".
BRACKET...
Javier looked silently at Alea's doorstep. He was amazed by his wife's attitude.
"He why?. Is he coming by the moon?". Javier shakes his shoulder feeling indifferent. He left Alea's room to his own.
"Hiks... Hix... Hix... Why does it feel so sick to God?. What's my fault?. Javier, at least appreciate me. Hix... Hicks...". Alea sobbed in the room while keeping her mouth shut so as not to be heard by Javier. He was so struck by Javier's attitude that he treated himself like a toy. The woman cried all night until she fell asleep with the remains of tears dripping down her cheeks.
*****
Very early in the morning Alea left the house. The goal is to check his condition to the hospital. The woman feels nauseous when she wakes up, if she only catch a cold, but the longer her nausea increases, even she feels sensitive to the smell. And the food that Javier gave me last night wasn't on the touch.
*****
In a famous hospital, where his best friend Dina served as an obstetrician.
"Din, how did it go?". Alea asked with a slightly pale face.
"Al, you're pregnant". There was little doubt on Dina's face to tell her friend's condition, but the woman who works as a doctor had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Din, please keep this a secret to anyone, including Mama and Papa". Tell Alea while holding her still flat stomach.
"Are you sure, Al?". Dina was doubtful of Alea's decision. Wouldn't her pregnancy get bigger?.
"I'm sure Din. For now let you know. I don't want anyone to know if I'm pregnant".
"But, Al".
"Please...". Alea's request could not be denied by Dina. The woman was already disappointed and hurt at her love that she might stop fighting for. Is there not a seed in the woman's womb?. Let's just say it was a junior Javier overshadowing Alea's body.
"Alright if that's what you want. But don't you intend to tell his father?". Dina's question made Alea tear up. He was so hurt, even when someone mentioned the name of the man, his heart was sliced, as if remembering the actions of Javier who always hurt him.
"I'm tired of Din. This time I have to get up. There is God in my womb. And I have to look after him. Please help me keep this a secret from anyone". Alea grabbed Dina's hand as her plea.
"alright. You better go home. Don't forget to take the vitamins I gave you. Take care of your health, and eat regularly. If there's anything don't hesitate to call me". Dina's word is long.
"Yes, that's very nice". Dina and Alea smiled before she finally left the room where her best friend was on duty.
"May you be okay Al". Dina monologue. But when he wanted to continue his work, he saw Alea's phone left behind. Dina came out of her room to find her best friend.
"Hopefully he's still around here". Dina spoke while taking a quick step, and suddenly, just,
Bugs...
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it". Dina doesn't care who she hit, she's too focused on your best friend Alea who almost took the taxi,
"Hey!". Call the man Dina hit.
"Alex". Call Andre to his best friend. Yeah, the one that Dina hit earlier was Alex. Actually Alex wants to chase the woman who hit him, because he wants to make sure something, but Andre has already called himself. And he also met a friend who had been waiting for him long enough.
*****
While in the hospital yard, Dina looked bored while holding her chest for chasing Alea to give her cellphone.
"Al, your cell phone".
"Gosh, I forgot. Thank you Din". Alea said as she hugged her best friend.
"Either. You be careful yeah". Decree Dina. And Alea left the hospital, unaware that there were two pairs of eyes watching the two from afar.
"Alea. What is he doing in this hospital. And who was that woman with him?. It seems familiar". Alex seemed to think what the wife of his boss and best friend was doing in the hospital without Javier. Yes, Alex accidentally saw Alea from a distance. Alex came to the hospital on Andre's call. The man wanted to check on the condition of his girlfriend Naura who was pregnant, but the famous playboy man did not admit the child born by his lover Naura.
