The Untouched Heart

Chapter 51 - Normal Versions of me

“What is your project with Xavier that makes you so happy?” aska I want to know. Hendra looked at me for a moment. It was as if he was looking for something on my face. “What's up?”

“It's okay. How was the meeting with your friends? Lindsey gave you what?” he asked me to walk up to the stairs.

I told her what we were doing and talked about it at Lindsey's house. I showed him the gifts my best friend gave me when we were in the room. An expensive bag and famous branded shoes.

Hendra took a bath first and I invited Yuyun and Liando who were carrying vases and suitcases into the room. I put a vase of flowers on the sideboard, while Liando put my husband's suitcase in the room. I let them rest.

When my husband finished taking a shower, I went into the bathroom to clean my face and brush my teeth. Until now everything was good and good. Me and Hendra will be fine. After putting on the night cream, I came out of the bathroom. Hendra was sitting on the edge of the bed with his cell phone near his ear. From the English sentence he spoke, it seemed like he was talking to Xavier.

She held my hand, holding me back from walking to the side of my bed. I thought as he pulled my hand to get closer to her. The phone he was holding, he put it on the nightstand. She wrapped her hands around me and placed her head on my chest.

“I miss you both,” he said slowly. I smiled hearing it.

“We miss you too,” I replied.

Although she had just made a long flight, Hendra did not take time off and went straight back to work that morning. I didn't persuade him because it would be useless. When he has decided on something, he will carry it out whatever the obstacles are.

After work, he picked me up at home and we went to the doctor to check my uterus. The fetus in my womb is nine weeks old. He's healthy, so am I. The doctor did not grant Hendra's request to do an ultrasound because it had been done in the previous month.

I asked about the possibility of traveling by plane. The doctor gave me permission because my condition and my womb are healthy. I smiled happily at it. I can attend Darla's daughter's wedding and take a vacation with my friends.

“You are very happy to be on vacation with your three friends. While on vacation with me, your face is not this happy,” said Hendra pretending to be disappointed. I looked at him in disbelief.

“You're serious about what you just said? You never sulked before.” asku wonder. He moved his lower lip.

“Why? Are only women sulking?” said again. I laughed to see it. I wrapped my hand around her waist, then toed kiss her cheek. He rounded his eyes. I just laughed to see it.

“I'm hungry. Come on, let's go home. Yuyun has already cooked a good meal for all of us.” I pulled his hand to speed up his steps. He let go of his hand so he could embrace me, then kiss my temple.

Hendra was very strict in giving permission regarding the way I dressed. So, I can't wear shorts or sleeveless clothes in public. Even though we would be at the beach a lot, she wouldn't allow me to bring a swimsuit.

After a long debate choosing clothes that I can wear, finally our suitcases filled with clothes that we will need while in Bali. Packing a suitcase is a harder job than writing a blog. Usually he's not this tight. Maybe because my best friend's husband also took a vacation, then he became more careful.

“Zahara! Here, here!” call Lindsey and Qiana. Hendra and I walked up to them. I was forced to reduce my walking speed as my husband pulled my hand that was in his grasp. I wouldn't have done anything if I had walked a little faster.

“Where is your identification? Darla will take care of everything.” Lindsey extended her hand. I opened the bag and took out my identification and Hendra's.

We followed a man dressed in airline uniform who we were going to ride to the executive lounge. The beautiful Princess Darla was already there with her fiance. We greeted each other before taking our seats.

“Why is the suitcase you brought only one, Zahara? Didn't you guys bring change of clothes?” ask Qiana astonished. “Me and friends carry two suitcases each.”

“You don't bring shoes or bags?” lindsey was confused. I picked up the handbag I was carrying. They laughed a little.

“You are really a practical person,” said Qiana. “I won't be able to be like you. I've tried, but I still just put some shoes and bags into my suitcase.”

“Shoes and suitcases that you will not even wear while you are there,” Darla said. We looked towards him. And laugh together. She and her husband were sitting in an empty chair.

Our conversation came to a halt for a moment when a woman came and placed a drink for us on the table. Hendra stood up after whispering that he was going to get me some food. Mercifully. I was hungry again.

“How about the wedding preparations, Darla? Is everything in order?” my many. He nodded his head, then sighed in relief.

“I no longer need to prepare anything. Next, all things will be handled directly by the event organizer,” he said satisfied.

“I need to learn a lot from you, Darla. In a moment, I also have to prepare for my son's wedding. Fortunately, we did it in Jakarta. I can't imagine having to prepare for a wedding out of town.” Lindsey shook her head slowly.

“You don't have to take care of everything yourself, Ma. We can leave everything to the event organizer,” said Edu suggested.

“Stay there will be details that you have to handle yourself, Edu. Not only my wife, I also have a duty also in preparing for my daughter's wedding.” Gio patted Edu on the back. Edu's face instantly turned pale as well.

“I don't like taking care of wedding preparations, Gio. It's a women's affair,” said Edu objected. We laughed when we heard it.

“Later also you will experience for yourself what I said earlier. If you have any questions about anything, I'm ready to help you.” Gio offered himself.

As soon as the plane took off, I slept soundly. So, I don't know what's going on or what my friends are talking about. I woke up because my stomach was uncomfortable. Hendra called the flight attendant and asked for a menu book. Since we were about to land soon, I only ordered one serving of food.

The hotel where we stayed was also where the wedding took place near the beach. We walk a few steps and our feet touch the white sand. What a beautiful place! The male family arrived first. We got acquainted with each other and I felt bad because as soon as I heard their names, as quickly as I had forgotten them.

We went to the room to clean up and changed clothes to be able to attend dinner together. The two families chatted closely and competed to give advice to both brides. Me and my friends were busy with our meals. The cool ocean atmosphere adds to our appetite.

After eating, we went back to the room. Since our room was on the same floor, my friends and I were still in the elevator when the other guests were already out on the previous floor. We split up in front of the elevator. My husband and I walked with Darla and her husband because our room was in the same corridor.

From our front, came a girl who was walking quickly while putting her hands in front of her mouth. When he got close, I recognized him immediately. Daphina, Darla's daughter. Then from behind him, followed a man I recognized as his fiancee.

“Sayang?” darla asked astonished at the expression on her daughter's face. She was crying.

“Mama!” The girl immediately hugged Darla.

“What's up, son? What happened?” ask Darla confused.

“I don't want to get married. Let her marry her perfect best friend without sin. I told her I didn't want her friend to come to our wedding, but she still invited her. I don't want to marry a man who loves his best friend more, Ma.”
