The Untouched Heart

Chapter 15 - A Promise

Just like with Mama, Adhyana, my father-in-law, was also very kind and affectionate towards me. My opinion was always heard and considered by my father-in-law, especially when he needed advice on how to deal with his own wife. It is often used by Mama to get what she wants.

When Papa gets angry with her and Mama doesn't talk, she tells me what she wants. Predictably, Papa came to me asking for advice to persuade his wife. I said exactly as my mother-in-law had told me.

Secretly, I suspect that my father-in-law actually already knows about the cooperation between me and Mama. But the man didn't seem to mind. Whatever I say, Papa will do it or buy it for Mama. I love the way the couple expresses their love. It is not surprising to see their marriage lasting and happy.

“I'm glad to see you happy, son,” said Mama happy.

“Thank you, Ma.”

“Your age is thirty years old, have you any happy news for us?” ask Mama expectantly. I understand what my mother-in-law is asking. About pregnancy.

“Numbered, Ma. If there is good news, Mama we will tell you soon,” answered me who began to feel guilty should lie continuously for this one thing.

“I miss hugging my granddaughter, baby. I really hope this year you get pregnant and my first grandchild is born next year,” complained Mama.

“Good, ma. We will try,” my promise for the umpteenth time. I swallowed heavily. When can I say this without ever feeling guilty again? I guess I'll continue to feel guilty.

“Don't say Mama still urges my wife to give me a grandchild,” seductive Hendra from behind me. Spontaneous we looked towards him. She approached her mother and kissed her cheek full of affection. Mama smiled amusedly.

“Before I carry them, I will not stop asking,” Mama insisted.

“Mama don't worry, I'm sure my wife will get pregnant soon. It's time we had a kid.” Hendra looked at me. I'm just smiling.

“You promise?” mama said expectantly.

“I promise, Ma.” He kissed her mother's cheek and then approached me.

He had never discussed the child before. Only her parents began to urge us to give her a grandchild soon. He also never promised to fulfill the request of his mother. Has Hendra begun to miss the presence of a child in our marriage?

“I'm glad you two decided to be together. Seeing you live happily, I have gotten what I want most in this world.” Mama's eyes twinkled.

“In addition to a grandson,” goda Hendra. Mama laughed a little.

“Iya. Besides of. Once I get it, I will not ask anything more from you guys,” said Mama promised as well as hopeful.

Papa called Mama to come to him. My mother-in-law turned to her husband and nodded her head. He paid a farewell to both of us. We smiled as we watched him walk away from us. I looked towards my husband.

“Having the child is not easy, Hendra,” I said slowly. I don't feel good looking at Mama's expectant face. He looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

“But I love the process,” god. My face's warming. “The result I consider as a bonus. We'll have a child soon. I'm sure it's.”

“Good.” I relented.

“Edu and Helmut need to learn a lot to recognize the needs of their wives. Shouldn't a husband let his wife be jealous of other couples' affection.” He looked towards the two men he called and their wives.

“You saw it?” i'm surprised. I thought it was only me who saw Lindsey and Qiana staring at the two of us during our conversation earlier.

“You think I had no other intention when kissing you in front of your friends?” He blinked one eye.

“You can never guess, so,” I said slowly.

“Iya. I did it on purpose.” She wrapped her hands around my body and kissed my temple full of love. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the kiss. “I love you, Za. Forever.” I took a deep breath so that tears would not pour down my face.

“OK, Hendra, I've seen enough of your affection,” Helmut said from our left side. Hendra loosened his embrace and turned his head towards the man and his wife with a small laugh. But his hands were still comfortably on my hips.

“You want to go home?” ask husband.

“Iya. Tomorrow morning I have to get out of town for work.” Helmut shook Hendra's hand, then took turns shaking my hand. “One more time, happy birthday, Zahara.”

“Thank you. Thank you for coming too,” I am happy. I then hugged Qiana and thanked her.

“Do not forget our coffee drinking event,” Helmut said reminding my husband.

“I didn't forget,” reply Hendra.

We drove the couple to the front door. Abdi opened the door for them. After their car left, Hendra took me back to the front room. Some of the guests were also happy to go home, including both of our parents. The house was deserted just at midnight after all the guests returned to their homes.

“Finally, it's just the two of us,” god Hendra. I smile. When he took my hand to our room, I said.

Hendra closed the door and walked over to me. Without saying anything, he opened one by one the clothes he was wearing. I just stood there quietly knowing what would happen next. After we stood so close, she wrapped her hands around my body and kissed me.

When my husband wants something, he keeps trying until he gets it. If she wanted to give her mother a grandchild, she would keep trying until I got pregnant. But I can't let that happen.

Seeing that my husband had fallen asleep by my side, I stared at the ceiling of the room for a moment. I waited until I was sure she would never wake up again. Slowly I broke away from his embrace, the man did not wake up or get distracted in the slightest. I sigh in relief.

From inside the nightstand drawer by the side of my bed, I took out one medicine board and took out one of the pills from the packaging. I put the medicine in my mouth, then I drank half the contents of the glass available on the nightstand.

I looked towards Hendra. He's still asleep. I put the medicine board back in the drawer and hid it well between the things inside. I breathed a sigh of relief. The drug has been preventing me from getting pregnant for the past six years. The drug will also successfully carry out its functions tonight. Must succeed.
