The Curse of the Ex-Lover

Unrest

Safira was still crying even after Mama Rissa's long departure, she was very sad to remember that her Mama-in-law wanted to marry Bastian to another woman. Bastian, who decided not to overtime, was going to go home in the afternoon. Bastian often overtime to avoid Sapphira, he felt very guilty to his wife because of the weakness he had. Arriving at home, he was surprised to see Safira who was crying sobbing calmed by Mbok Jum who stroked Safira's back. Dahi Bastian frowned to see Sapphira crying until sobbing, once in a while Safira rummaged unclear.

"No. This is not gonna happen. It's not my fault I haven't had a child." Sapphira's speech made her eyes wide, what had Safira experienced, so she fancied like that?

"Safira, why are you crying? What happened to you." Hearing Bastian's baritone voice instead of stopping crying, Sapphira grew sobbing. She has been unable to stop her crying since the departure of Mama Rissa from her home.

Bastian who heard his wife's heartbreaking cry approached him and hugged the woman who had been with him for 6 months. He loves this woman so much that if other women find out about his shortcomings, they may immediately tell others at least to their own parents. However, Sapphira did not tell the shortcomings that Bastian had with others especially to his parents because Bastian had never heard the slanted words about him. He was very confident that Sapphira could keep the secrets she had.

"Mbok, please make Sapphira a warm sweet tea. It seems Safira needs him to calm herself down." Bastian asked Mbok Jum to make Safira a drink, he was sure there were things his wife wanted to say but could not be said because of Mbok Jum's presence.

"Good sir." Mbok Jum deftly headed to the kitchen to make you drink Sapphira. Mbok Jum does not know the cause of Safira crying but he knows that after the departure of Mama Rissa did not stop crying. Mbok Jum immediately pacified Safira until the arrival of Bastian to forget to give drinks to his employer.

"Darling, what's wrong? Tell me what makes you cry like this." Bastian persuaded Sapphira in a soft voice. Bastian ingib Safira said what had happened to him. He was very worried about his wife's situation which looked very alarming.

Bastian and Safira are indeed betrothed by both their parents in order to advance the company of both parties. However, as time goes by their closeness is not due to matchmaking alone. They really love each other. Bastian who saw the current state of Safira was very sad, he heard the suggestion when he came home earlier must be related to having a baby. Who could make his wife weep and mourn such a fate?

"What's up, baby? Try telling me first to reduce the anxiety you have." Bastian tries to return to persuade Sapphira to tell him what happened.

"So Mama Rissa came and as usual she wanted me to get pregnant soon. At the end of his words before saying goodbye he said that... If you'd marry another woman if I wasn't already pregnant." Safira said this while still sobbing and shed her tears. Bastian wiped the tears and peed at Sapphira's eyelids.

"Stop crying, I'll tell my mom not to push you back." Bastian is still trying to calm Sapphira down. He really did not want Sapphira to be sad about his situation when indeed Bastian who could not give an inner living to him.

Safira several times wanted to talk about Bastian's condition to his parents. However, he could guess if he told his parents that both parents would be at odds with each other. Hence, Safira did not want that to happen and kept hiding Bastian's weakness. Various methods have been done but have not increased. However, Bastian has never done a health check-up and checked his condition with a specialist.

"Then, what should I do if Mama Rissa really comes to bring a woman to be your second wife? I really don't want that." Sapphira told her of the grief that was in her heart. Bastian was very worried about saying the weakness he had to Mama Rissa. She couldn't imagine Mama Rissa's reaction if Bastian told her how she was.

"We must cure your disease, mas. In order for us to have a baby soon, I can no longer answer the questions of Mama Rissa well." Safira recounted her heartbreak when asked by Mama Rissa, she was already unable to answer the question calmly.

"Alright I agree with your advice, tomorrow I'll go to the doctor to check on my condition." Safira smiled and nodded, Bastian could finally persuade him to check on the situation huh. If they already know what happened to him, maybe they can find a solution to the situation experienced by Bastian.

"Thank you, Mas" Safira told Bastian, who still patted his shoulder to calm his wife, occasionally kissing Safira's head gently.
