The Untouched Heart

Chapter 45 - He Won't Know

“Mistress,” said Kafin who turned out to have opened the door for me, “you should sit in front with me. Let those who sit here.”

“Ah, yes. Fine.” The door remained open to make it easier for Aldo and his children to enter. I moved to sit in the front seat.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Aldo thanked her and got out of the car with his children. The cafeteria came out. He turned around and helped me sit back in the backseat. Several sisters welcomed Aldo's arrival. He gave his second child to them. The first child and the youngest cry followed him from behind.

“Kafin, you park the car. I'll take the kids to their papa,” I said as I gave him my bag of sandwiches.

“Let me do it, Madam. You can be very angry if you know that you are with other men,” said Kafin with a worried tone. Everyone knows how strict Hendra is in taking care of me. But I couldn't stand to watch the two children being abandoned.

“This car will block other vehicles or ambulances that come carrying emergency patients. You know I can't drive. Go, I'm just for a minute.” I approached the two children and held their hands together. Seeing that they didn't reject me, maybe they already knew me when we were together in the car.

Yeah, God. They are very small. What can a five-year-old do to keep his siblings alone? Why are they not entrusted to one of his acquaintances? I'm sure his co-worker also has a wife who might be willing to take care of his kids for a while.

They were still crying when I asked a nurse about the little boy who had just been brought into the room. He pointed towards the corridor where there was the writing of the ER. I thank you for bringing the two kids there. The room wasn't crowded, so I had no trouble finding Aldo and his son.

The boy cried and saw from the condition of his hand that was being examined by the doctor, it seemed like he accidentally broke his wrist. I called Aldo and gave his two children to him.

“Thank you, Ara. Sorry, I've been troubling you.” She held her youngest child and held her daughter's hand.

“I'm home.” I turned my body.

That incident I soon forgot. I don't want to burden my own mind with other people's problems. After all I felt nothing after meeting Aldo again. I didn't beat or miss him as I had imagined. Does that mean I got him out of my mind the night Hendra found out about my secret?

Then if he's not the one who fills my heart anymore, who's in there? I don't love my husband at all. I didn't even feel anything for him other than wanting to run away and go far away. No. gabe. There is one more feeling I feel. I feel sorry for him, too, and I'm afraid. He is in complete control of my life now.

I haven't seen Mama for a long time, I've been staying at their house. I had deliberately asked them not to prepare anything because I was going to bring food. Kafin forbade me from helping him to take down some bags of food and fruit, but he did not refuse Papa's help.

Before I entered the room, Hendra took the time to make a phone call so we could talk together. I just stared protestingly at Zach who still liked to tease me to the fullest. But this time my husband defended without me asking.

“You sure you'll be okay?” asked Hendra when I was lying in bed.

“This attitude of yours will unlock your own secrets to our family.” I'm laughing a little. “I'll be fine. I've provided drinking water and small meals on the nightstand. So if I'm hungry at midnight, I can fill my stomach.”

“Contact me if you wake up later.” I obey. “Sleep. I'll keep you asleep. I still have two hours before my next meeting with Xavier and Annora.” I nodded, then placed my phone on the support that was on the nightstand. Hendra and I can still talk to each other until I fall asleep.

Waking up the next day, I did not experience any incidents thanks to the food available in the room. The nausea can be treated immediately so I do not need to go to the bathroom and remove my stomach contents. My mother would have suspected that I was pregnant. I had better luck at my in-laws' house because there was a bathroom in the bedroom.

The cafeteria had arrived and he was sitting down enjoying his breakfast. I'm sure it must have been Mama who forced him to get into the house when he parked the car in front. The bag containing the place to bring food yesterday was neatly located near the door.

“You can stay here one or two more nights, Ra. Rather than just being alone at home,” Mama said in a worried tone. He added orange juice to my glass.

“I'm not alone, Ma. There are Kafin and other workers at home. Mama, ‘kan, knows for herself that my mother-in-law is very jealous. I only stayed one night at their house. If I stay longer at Mama's house, then they will protest. I have a new writing project that I need to publish immediately. Readers have asked for the continuation of the story,” I said slowly.

“Good. Don't hesitate to call us when you need anything.” Mom touched my hand on the table. I nodded obediently.

I felt so relieved when I could be in my special room again. Word by word I type in my head with a laptop. Until finally without me realizing some chapters have been completed I wrote. I quit because the next idea I haven't got.

That opportunity I used to edit the chapter I just finished. A few words whose usage is repeated, I replace them with synonyms. Less accurate information immediately I searched through the internet and asked my three friends who always had acquaintances who worked in various fields. They never asked me what I needed it for.

When checking the email I used to register my blog, there were several incoming emails from people whose names I did not know. I opened the email the longest and read it. The spoon containing the piece of cake almost escaped my hand when reading the position and company name of the sender of the email.
