The Angel of Wounds

Chapter 151

"Sorry, I just finished nengokin lo. Just got home from me." Siska said one afternoon.

Since Marissa's return from the hospital, she has never visited her best friend. His work is very much, it also happens that he just returned from out of town to attend an event with his office friends.

"No papa, thank you so much for bringing this much souvenir." Marissa.

Two medium-sized plastic bags filled with souvenirs typical of the city he visited, deliberately Siska brought for Marissa. She still remembers her friend's favorite food. Especially when pregnant like this, Marissa must love it.

"Yes, equally. Oh yeah, a lonely house really? Tomi hasn't come home yet?" Ask Siska. Almost twenty minutes later he visited, but did not find Tomi at home.

"Not yet, it's seven." Siska frowned. Tomi's office hours are not that late. But it could be overtime, right?

"Veasy?" Marissa just nodded.

"Tomi shouldn't have to take overtime, let alone get old. Danger. There's nothing when he's not home." Marissa forced a smile on both corners of her lips. No, not even Tomi takes overtime. Because in fact, the man deliberately overtime to avoid it.

"Oh, yeah, when are you born?" Siska rubbed Marissa's already huge belly.

"According to the estimate, two more weeks."

"Any dong?" Marissa nodded.

"Lo, what's the normal plan for caesar?"

"As per the course of action." Answer Marissa.

"Udah control?" Marissa nodded.

"Udah."

"Trus says what doctor?"

"Gue has a chance for a normal body. But..."

"Why?" Marissa fell silent, not answering Siska's question.

"Is there a problem?" Marissa shakes.

"Trus?"

"The doctor said, if you want a normal hand, I..."

"Ckkk.com clear dong, Sa. I know sign language." Siska was really impatient with Marissa being this convoluted.

"If you want a normal birth, the doctor says you should often have sex with your husband and wife." Marissa let down the voice at the end of her speech.

Siska giggled amusedly at the doctor's advice. She was still single, it was only natural not to know of such a thing.

"Gue thought, you were told to mop up the square, it turned out to be told that." Kekeh Siska's.

"Eh, but I swear, I just got it."

Marissa fell silent, not as shy as usual when Siska mocked her.

"Have you practiced?" Marissa shakes.

"Why? Haven't scheduled?" Goda Siska's.

Marissa was completely silenced by Siska's question. Siska's laughter slowly subsided.

"Lo why?" Siska noticed the change in look on Marissa's face. It was as if there was something the woman was hiding from him.

"Sa?"

"Tomi wants me to be a caesar." Sluggishly.

"Why? The doctor said you could be normal. The money is so dear, Sa. Can be saved for your child's future." Quite realistic indeed Siska's mind, especially Tomi's salary is not as big as Marissa's salary when working first. Moreover, it must be divided by his sister's tuition fees. Also to send his mother.

"Tomi said she was worried, because I had bleeding yesterday."

"Oh. means your comfort is Tomi's priority. You should be fine, Tomi is so worried about you." Siska. There is no doubt how attentive Tomi is to Marissa. Siska witnesses life, how the man treated Marissa when they were dating in college. Especially now that Marissa is pregnant. Surely Tomi prioritized Marissa and their future son.

Siska caught Marissa's gelagat that looked uncomfortable. Even the woman did not look at him at all. Impressed to avoid eye contact.

"Sa? Do you have a problem?" Marissa remained silent.

"We've been together a long time, ever since we went to college. If you have a problem, tell me the same story. Maybe I can't help you much, but at least I'll help you as much as I can."

Marissa let out a rough breath, and slowly turned to Siska.

"Gue felt, not the worry that Tomi felt, until he asked me Caesar's hand. But more than that." Siska frowned, not understanding what Marissa was saying.

"How do you mean? Don't understand me." Ask Siska for an explanation.

"Tomi just wants to avoid me." Lirih Marissa's.

"Of course." Marissa looked down lethargic.

Siska noticed Marissa's expression that looked sad. Is it possible that the woman has started to fall in love with Tomi again? If true, this should be good news that he should tell the man.

"Lo know sis? During our marriage, we never did that." Siska was shocked by Marissa's confession.

Siska was old enough to understand Marissa's words. So for almost six months, Tomi never touched Marissa? It is impossible indeed, especially Tomi is a normal man, who lives one roof with Marissa. Actually it's legitimate regardless he married Marissa in series.

"Wait, who doesn't want this? Lo or him?" Siska just wants to hear Marissa's answer.

Marissa did not answer. Siska can guess, if Marissa is the one who limits it.

"Maybe not avoid the how. I'm sure Tomi wants that. You should have the initiative, Sa. Moreover, you are too keeping your distance from him. Remember, he's your husband. So, he's more entitled to yourself." Siska said wisely.

Tom opened the door slowly. Just like his usual days, he got home at exactly seven o'clock. The house is always unlocked. Not without reason he did. He was just looking for a way to make the interaction between himself and Marissa limited. He does not want to melt if he always gives excessive attention to his wife.

It sounds quite selfish indeed, but there was nothing else he could do other than this.

"Just home?" Tomi slightly jumped up, as Siska rebuked her. The man turned to Siska who was still in her position, sitting sweetly in the corner of the living room.

"Siska?"

"It's a custom, Tom. Don't look at me that way. Feels like my ghost cake." Said Siska who saw shock on Tomi's face.

"Old old?"

"Lumayan, from the afternoon."

"Every day you're overtime?" Shoot Siska to the point.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Marissa is pregnant, you go home every day? Not worried about that?"

Tom took off his shoes. And momentarily leaning his back to slightly remove the fatigue.

"Gue needs a lot of money for Marissa's labor costs." Answer Tomi briefly. The man closed his eyes.

Mumpung Marissa is in the bathroom which will certainly be long. Siska can use this good opportunity to find out how their relationship has been. Not to interfere with their household problems, only he did not want if they separated. There will be children among them soon.

"Can we talk for a second?" Tomi who almost fell asleep so tired, opened her eyes again.

"Ckk..too formal lo, pack event permission everything." Tomi just glanced at Siska without changing her position.

"By the way, I'm horrified."

"But not here. Can we talk outside?" Tomi straightened her body. The two eyebrows of the man were sharply linked. If Siska wants to talk, why is it outside? Inside is the same.

But the woman was not kidding. Siska moves on first and gets out of the house. A little away, until it is in the middle of the yard. What exactly would Siska be talking about, to the point of finding a place in the middle of a page like this? Tomi had to follow the woman.

"Lo what the hell is he talking about? Far away really looking for a place? Not in the front yard?" Siska did not say, the woman was like paying attention to the atmosphere in her house.

"What the hell is that? I haven't had this shower." Tomi followed Siska's gaze, then refocused on Siska before her.

Siska really asked what Marissa had told Tomi. She doesn't want to waste time, but there's a chance.

"If I take notice of his eyes, he starts to fall in love with you." Tomi pulled the corner of her lips hearing Siska's words.

Marissa is falling in love with him? Thats impossible. Even with so clear the woman said if never thought to marry him. More than having a child from him. And Tomi is quite conscious of the position on that. He does not want to impose his feelings on anyone, including Marissa.

"Not as you think." Answer Tomi short.

"Ckk..gue seriously Tomi."

"Gue's serious too, Sis. Marissa never wanted this wedding. Especially being my wife. Do you know how we got married? Just as a form of accountability for what I did to him. So I wouldn't have expected any more over this marriage." Obviously Tomi.

"But, I saw no sadness when he said it was the same me." Siska stared straight at Tomi.

"Then what should I do? Forcing her to make my layanin as her husband?"

"Gue also had feelings times, Sis. I'm a brengs*k, but I'm not that crazy to force Marissa. Especially in pregnancy. I don't want him to be depressed. Let him do what makes him comfortable. Because I myself realize, if I never expected." Tomi Said.

Siska. Digesting word for word Tomi said. He better not interfere too deeply. Enough he will pray for happiness for the household of his two friends.

Without them noticing, Marissa overheard their conversation from the porch of the house. For some reason, it hurt when I heard those words coming out of Tomi's mouth. Without realizing it, her tears rolled freely down her cheeks.

Let's say he's selfish. Not wanting Tomi to be the father of the baby in her womb, but she could not accept if the man silenced her. It feels really sick. Sicker than when she learned the fact that Hasna was Rama's wife.
