The Substitute Husband's Love
Chapter 47
"Ma, I'm sorry, who all this time didn't know the truth, Arka thought Mama had indeed died while giving birth to me!" Arka sobbed on the mother's lap, while the hand of the woman who gave birth to it stroked her head gently.
Hugging each other with a very deep sense of longing, both look very similar, in terms of face and eyes, have something in common.
"Mom think, Papa really kicked your mother out after giving birth to you," said Nindi, his mother Arka his hand was not separated from Arka's head, continuing to wipe it with gentleness. "It turns out Mama's son is this handsome,"
Turning to stare at the 3 people standing in the corner of the room, Nindi's gaze came to a halt at the potbellied woman.
"Who are they, Arka?" tanya Nindi, pointing at Nasya and also her parents.
Arka glanced at the direction Nindi pointed at, smiled and extended her hand at Nasya.
"This is my wife, Ma, her name is Nasya, Annasya Gauri Widiatama. They're my in-laws, Daddy Adrian and Mommy Mira."
Arka introduced the three people, Nindi's gaze continued to stare at Nasya's stomach.
"Who's pregnant?" ask her with a moved and happy tone of voice. Nasya nodded, in response. Then Nindi rubbed Nasya's stomach.
The meeting of mother and child became the happiest day in Arka's life, enthusiastic Nindi wanted to take care of her daughter-in-law and future grandchild that made Adrian and Mira can breathe with relief, so I decided to go back to London.
The day of Nindi's return that Adrian found in the mental hospital finally arrived, when entering the house he had long left, Nindi cried tears while hugging Nasya.
But not for long, he was already sitting on the sofa with Nasya.
"Where is it, Ka?"
Deg—
Arka's body began to stiffen, the question that had been avoided was finally raised on the first day his mother set foot in his home again.
"Papa is calm in his new home, Ma," said Arka while looking the other way.
Nindi's face looked a little shocked, even barely believing the bad news.
"Papa's sick? How could? A long time ago didn't he really dislike eating unhealthy food?"
Arka let out a long sigh, exhaling it violently. "Mama Aisha always gives her sleeping pills every night, Ma. After he had a heart attack, he's been given sleeping pills since."
"Heart attack?"
That afternoon was filled with stories of all the events that made Ananda had a heart attack, several times Nindi looked shocked.
...****************...
Time does not seem to flow faster like water, today Nasha's pregnancy has stepped on the eighth month. Arka is more often at home, compared to the office. He warned that Nasya was having a contraction attack.
Although Nindi often reminded, that contractions will occur more often in the ninth month, but Arka insisted reasoned to want to often be at home.
On the way, Arka's phone rang. Make him stop the car on the shoulder of the road to pick up his phone.
"Hallo?"
"Prepare, a sudden attack will occur, lest you be negligent! Your mother, or your wife! Try to protect both of them if you can!"
Tut
The call is turned off, leaving tension in Arka. Nasya grabbed Arka's hand, grasping it.
"What's wrong?" nasha asked, looking at the tension on Arka's face.
"Nothing!" arka replied, with a forced smile.
"There's nothing, but why is your face tense, Arka?" asked Nindi while watching Arka's face carefully.
"No one, Ma!" Arka.
Return to the car, continue the delayed journey. Within a few minutes, they finally reached the baby supply store shown by Nindi.
Arka's feeling became tense, until she did not choose baby clothes, paying more attention to two women who are now her soulmate.
On the other hand, he was curious as to who had threatened him on the phone earlier.
A woman's voice, but why don't I know her? arka Inner, wondering.
The session of choosing baby clothes was over, now Arka and the two women in her life were relaxing when a call again made her phone ring.
Arka breathed a sigh of relief, when the phone was not from the menacing anymore. Except from his office.
"From the office, they told me to come right now" Arka said, as she sat back with Nasya and Nindi.
"Go, I'll take a taxi with Mama!" Nasya's orders.
"But—"
"There's my mom looking after me, Ka! Go!"
"Yes, Arka! Don't worry, Mama will take care of your wife and future grandchildren Mama, if there's anything later Mama will call you!"
Arka nodded slowly, actually worry filled her heart, looking at Nasya with a gaze as if to be the last, Arka placed her hand on Nasya's head, dipping it briefly.
"I'll be home soon!"
