The Hidden Love

The Hidden Love
Stabbing William



The sky had soared when Love entered her father-in-law's house. Yes, before getting married, Ratih suggested to Love stay in that house alone to make it easier for them to carry out missions for William.


Love went into her room and was followed by her husband.


"I helped take off her dress, yeah" William bargained.


Love took two steps back, the awkward atmosphere was so felt there.


"No need! I can be alone" reject Love.


"You can't, that's a hard zipper. Let me help, I won't do anything, just help open it."


Silent love. She did not feel she would be able to open her own dress. William stepped forward, slowly turning his wife's body over and unzipping the zipper on the back of his wedding dress.


The dress sagged down on the floor and William quickly put the bathrobe on the body of Love.


"You wait a minute, let me prepare the warm water first."


William went into the bathroom, then returned shortly after.


"Don't take a shower later, fear you catch a cold. The night is also a rule you do not need to take a shower, but if you do not take a shower you are afraid you can not sleep because it is not comfortable. You can adjust the temperature if for example it is less warm" William said.


Without a word Love went into the bathroom, took off her bathrobe and immediately went into the bathtub. Unlike his expectations, in fact the water in the tub warm it feels right for Love.


After Love came out from there, William immediately underwent his bathing ritual. Almost all day he did not rest at all, besides feeling sticky he was also very tired.


"I'll sleep on the couch if you mind me sleeping here" William said as he picked up a pillow for her to sleep on tonight.


"Don't Mas!" Prevent Love.


Suddenly William turned his body, staring at the depth of the girl's bead.


"You sleep here, it's okay" Love said.


"Really?"


Love nodded. "Before I change my mind."


William cheered with joy in his heart, but wait a minute ... Love does that not without reason. He does it exactly as Ratih suggested, he has to play around with William's emotions in order to see how much the man regretted his actions and truly loved himself.


William pulled out a blanket to cover his body. The man kept glancing at the woman next to him, eager for him to hug her if only things weren't as complicated as they are now.


"Love." William rested his head with his elbows, staring fixedly at the face of Love.


"Hm." The girl just cleared her throat, closing her eyes.


"Thank you for accepting me again, I promise I'll make up for everything I did to you first."


"Not a big mouth! I hate to hear you say that all the time. One thing you must remember, I want to come back to you just because of your mother's request. Without you, my son and I can still live well, so don't you misunderstand why I want to accept this marriage" Love said.


William was silent, his heart fell apart to hear the words of the woman he loved. In the past, there was only tenderness, obedience and sweet words that were spoken from the ripe lips, but now it was like storing a bowl of poison. William can't blame Love because it's a better position to be given to him.


The level of immunity receiving a wound will be different in each person, and Love chooses to do that to protect herself from the wound that once made her the most devastated human being.


"Yes I know, but still I feel happy" William replied.


Love tilted his body, it felt he would not be able to sleep if he continued to face the ceiling of the room.


The night fell, Love could hear her husband's subtle snoring which indicated that the man had fallen asleep, while he was still awake.


Love glanced at the nightstand, the hour hand already showed at two in the morning. Even in the early hours of the morning like this, the stomach of Love cannot be compromised anymore. His stomach continued to sound asking to be filled immediately, whereas before going up to the mattress he had eaten a piece of green tea cake that Hanum thrust on him.


Love came down from her bed intending to find something she could eat, but had not yet had her feet reach the door, she again remembered Ratih's plan. It can be done from a little thing like this, thought Love.


The girl sat on the lip of the bed. "Mas" called the girl without touching her husband.


"Back up" reworked Love. There was still no reaction from the man.


This time Love ventured to shake her husband's shoulder.


"Mas, wake!"


Succeeds. William opened his eyes and sat down. "What's wrong?"


"Hungry" said Love.


"You hungry?"


Love nodded.


"You wait here yeah, let me get you some food first." William uncovers his blanket, wearing home sandals.


"Follow," cetus Love.


"Don't you get tired of going up and down the stairs later, let me get you."


"Then I'll move rooms downstairs tomorrow. There are many empty guest rooms that we can occupy," suggested Love.


"As you wish, I will definitely stay where you are and I will sleep in the same room as you."


Love did not resist as William grabbed her hand and led her to the dining room.


William opened the food hood, took the rice from the rice cooker and began to put some side dishes in the dish. Lastly, William thrust a glass of water near the plate of Love.


"Why bengong? Come on eat!"


"No way," reject Love.


"So he said he was hungry" replied William.


"Who said he wanted to eat this? You don't want anything to eat either."


A thin smile rose on William's lips, seeing his wife's behavior even made him anxious.


"Yes, I was wrong because you didn't want to eat anything. Now I ask, what do you want to eat?"


"Yes, errata. What would my baby eat?"


"Fried rice. Love sambal baby squid a lot, keep giving shrimp, meatballs the same peas. No vegetables and eggs."


"There again?"


"Drink sweet iced tea."


"Wait a minute, I'll make some iced tea first."


William opened the refrigerator, took out ice cubes and also some of the ingredients he needed to cook fried rice. Fortunately he could cook, try if he could not, would there not be a war there?


Fifteen minutes later.


A large glass of sweet iced tea along with a plate of fried rice has been presented in front of Cinta according to the order of the girl.


William thrust a spoon, giving Love a chance to taste the fruits of his labor.


"Nake?"


Love shakes. "Less spicy, not salty."


"Masa? Try here."


Love purposely feeds her husband.


"This salty body, deliberately I do not love baby squid sambal much-much afraid of your stomach hurt. Now eat it!" William's Order.


"Well, I don't want to eat."


"So she said hungry?"


"But I want fried rice" said Cinta.


"It's fried rice darling."


William glared when he realized his lips were saying the magic sentence, even with Love still flinching. An awkward atmosphere is created again, but Love does not want to drag on. Ratih and Hanum had warned so that he was not easily lulled by whatever William did.


"Not this fried rice, it's not what I want" Love said.


"Love. Eating too salty and spicy food is not good for health."


"So, do you want to do it or not?"


"Love ..."


"Yes already." Love got up from his chair.


"Don't gini dong, pity you if you don't eat," persuaded the man.


"Mas eat by themselves. People if they don't like to be forced, won't want to be too, right?"


"OK, sit down. I made another new one."


William helped his wife sit down, and then she came back to work on the cookware. Almost done, William scoops a little fried rice that is still in the frying pan and gives it to Love to taste.


"How's it?" William asked for a moment as the fried rice entered the mouth of Love.


"Enak. It's fitting, I want to eat now," said Love, excited.


William was happy to accompany the pregnant woman to finish her food. They also returned to the room as soon as Love felt full.


Again, they both felt awkward. Both are currently on the bed with their eyes fully awake.


Love keeps changing positions, seeking comfort so that she can sleep. Usually after being full he will be very sleepy, but indeed his enlarged stomach has made it difficult to sleep.


"Would you do this every night?"


Love turned to her when she found out that William was not sleeping either.


"Eat in the early hours?" Love asked back.


"Not that. You gonna have a hard time sleeping every night?"


"Not really, maybe because now my pregnancy has entered the seventh month."


"That's it."


Love no longer spoke, he was busy fixing his position. William who was about to fix the blanket that was revealed accidentally saw Love's swollen legs.


"Love."


"Yes." Yeah."


"Your feet are swollen?"


"Doctor Rania said most women with old gestational age do experience it often."


William got up, the man looked for eucalyptus oil which is usually on the nightstand then after getting it he began to massage the feet of Love.


"I'm a massage."


"No need to!" Prevent Love.


"It's okay, you're sleeping. Who knows with a spiced his swelling will decrease, tomorrow we go to the doctor yes to consult."


"No, I was only a week ago from there."


"Just to the doctor, period!"


Love no longer responded to the man's words, she chose to enjoy the gentle massage William kept doing on her feet.
