The Dandelion Motel
The Shadow of the Past
Leon and Rosaline entered the room where the interview session would be held. They were greeted by camera flashes from dozens of journalists who were waiting for them.
Rosaline does not believe that she really married a man who is very popular even his popularity is equivalent to the top actors of course in the world of business.
After various articles that talk a lot about how often this man is rumored to date different women and most of them are famous celebrities, he said, everyone seemed curious about the story behind his extraordinary achievements at his young age.
Plus the rumor that Leon just got married makes everyone more curious about what kind of woman figure makes a playboy hatchet like Leon finally anchored his heart.
"Are you okay?" leon whispered to Rosaline who seemed a little nervous to see the many reporters in front of her.
"Hmm" the woman nodded slowly.
"Tell me if you start to feel dizzy or not feeling well!" said Leon.
"Yes." Yeah."
Leon sighed, he was still anxious and worried but never mind, his wife said that he was okay.

Until the 3rd session the event went smoothly without a hitch. All the questions Leon managed to answer in his distinctive style, relaxed, elegant and sharp without further ado.
The presence of Rosaline who was sitting next to him also further brightened the atmosphere. Leon blatantly introduced her as his wife who indirectly shared the news of his marriage to the entire media.
Not stopping there, he also shared the news of Rosaline's pregnancy when one of the reporters asked when she wanted to have a baby.
Beside him, Rosaline smiled seeing Leon showing off her status as a husband.
How many women will be heartbroken?
"Alright, please 1 last question before ending this question and answer session!" host.
A male reporter with a face that looked familiar to Rosaline stood among the other reporters.
Rosaline's heart seemed to plunge when she saw it.
He knows the man.
THE BAJI***N!!!
Reporters who used to be obsessed with the incidents that befell his family.
With his articles he exposes that Rosaline's father and mother were the right-hand men of the cult leader Ferdinan.
His father probably did, though,
But mother?
I swear by anything his mother was not involved in the flow.
why is he here?
All righty! Probably because he is also a journalist.
But is he planning something?
Rosaline stared intently, blatantly showing hatred.
"Good day everyone! Good afternoon Miss Rosaline!" baji**n the rancid was pleasantry. Rosaline responded coldly.
Nah!
Why did the man just say hello to her? Isn't this Leon's show?
Leon sitting next to her looked confused and a bit panicked as Rosaline showed her face of discontent in front of the reporters, trying to guess who the man really was.
"All right, Mr Leon! As a journalist and one of your fans who always follows your story, let me ask the person who makes everyone curious about your wife. Hearing the same name and city of birth I remembered a grim and heartbreaking story that befell one family with a series of murders and religious fraud committed by a married couple of about 9 years and that ends with the death of the husband at the hands of his wife and the wife who is languishing behind bars. Nope, no! I heard that the wife was released not long ago. Is that true, Miss Rosaline? Is your mother really out of custody?"
Rosaline glares!
What the fuck?
Why bring her mother in question?
"My conclusion is that you are indeed the 'Rosaline' son of the woman I mean. Am I wrong, miss?"
**n!
How do I stop this jaha***m guy?
The faces of everyone especially Leon instantly changed.
Rosaline did not expect to be attacked this slick at her own husband's awards show.
He turned towards Leon with a confused and incredulous expression.
Eyes glazed.
"Rosaline.." cried Leon. He was confused as to what to say and how.
Rosaline started shaking her head to the right and to the left.
"Rosilene...." Leon knelt down and immediately hugged her. While the reporter bang**t was led out on the orders of Bobby who was angry with the organizer for passing the wedge***n seems.
The woman complained of pain while holding her suddenly uncomfortable stomach.
Leon who was chasing him rushed to help him stand up and took him away from the event venue that was already out of control.
"Leon.I.." his lips trembled.
The situation was so chaotic, the reporters were rowdy at being led out by force.
Leon takes Rosaline to a quiet room and immediately occupies her.
"Rosaline, are you hurt? Tell me which one is sick? Is your stomach okay? Say Rosaline! Say...!" Leon knelt in confusion and panicked to see Rosaline grimacing in her stomach.
Rosaline could not answer, her stomach was very uncomfortable. His head suddenly dizzy, and his chest tightened.
"Rosaline, please answer me! Is your stomach okay?" Leon clasped his wife's trembling hands and was drenched in cold sweat.
"You're a mess because of me!" he said with tears flowing.
"Don't think about it! That's not important, baby! What I'm more worried about is you." Leon stroked Rosaline's cheek so worriedly.
"Your stomach! I saw you fall, did it hurt?" leon's hand turned to hold his wife's stomach.
Rosaline shakes.
"It's okay" he replied.
Suddenly the door opened hard and Bobby ran in and sat down next to Leon.
"Rosaline are you okay?" asked Bobby with the same worried face.
Unfortunately Bobby's question provoked Leon's anger, he stood up and grumbled with anger.
After Bobby scolded the show's organizing staff, it was his turn to wave.
Rosaline looked up at the two of them, her stress multiplied by many times.

In one of the rooms inside the hospital Leon accompanied his wife.
Rosaline's stomach was cramping again, her body was limp, her breathing was tight. The problem that happened today really made her stressed and it was dangerous for her pregnancy, plus she had anemia.
The doctor gave him an infusion including a sedative injection, he will sleep for the next few hours.
Leon held his wife's hand. He did not dare to leave her a single item.
It feels so weird!
It's like today's dream or yesterday's the illusion.
How could after such great happiness, now they have to face such a crazy storm?
Leon stroked Rosaline's stomach with puffy eyes, although the doctor said his wife's condition would improve, but the anxiety still lingered.
"Dad beg you to be strong and hang in there. Help me take care of your mother." whispered Leon in a voice that was raucous with tears.
A few hours passed in silence.
Rosaline began to blink her eyes which still felt heavy.
His lips were dry and his throat was bitter, but his head was no longer dizzy and the cramps in his stomach had disappeared.
"Leon.." call him as soon as he opens his eyes.
Leon who was asleep while sitting next to him instantly woke up.
"Leon.." call Rosaline weak.
"Yes, it's me dear." put his hand back in Rosaline's.
"I'm sorry, Leon..." Rosaline glazed.
"No, no! I should've apologized to you."
"Leon, your show's a mess because of me. Your company's reputation might also be bad because of my family's past."
"No, honey! It wasn't your fault. Events like this we cannot guess. I feel even more guilty about the show that you have to go through all this." Leon wiped away the tears that fell on his cheek.
"Leon..." Rosaline sobbing.
And Leon hugged his wife, hugged Rosaline while rubbing her head, calming her down.
"Don't cry....! No crying! Our baby will cry."
