The Untouched Heart
Chapter 82 - Finally, We Meet
As we planned, Hendra and I had dinner with my parents at their house on Christmas Eve. Mama's condition is much better, even can't wait to hold her first grandchild.
Zach and Rasmi said their plans to get married next year were a joy to welcome. Officially it has long been telling her family that she is in love with a man. They never expressed their objections after knowing his background. But he cannot guarantee that his family's reaction will be the same when he sees Zach in person later.
Hendra once again expressed his full support if the official family complicates their plans for marriage. Truly my mighty hero.
On Christmas Day, we gathered at Lindsey's house. After a long time, I finally met Claudia's daughter again and congratulated her on her pregnancy. She looked like her mother who was friendly to everyone. He even agreed with the plan to match his son with my son. She and her husband also hoped that their first child would be a girl.
“I can't believe this.” Hendra laughed a little. “You are overreacting. Our son is not even born yet, you guys are already planning their wedding.”
“You don't need to believe or understand. Importantly, our children are happy,” I said gladly.
“That's important, you're happy.” He kissed my hair. I hugged him tightly.
“And you are also happy,” I said do not want to lose.
By New Year's Eve, I slept through the afternoon to attend the event at Darla's house. We will celebrate the New Year together. But I'm not as strong as I thought. I fell asleep and woke up in the morning in my own room. My husband laughed at me, I pouted all day because of his ridicule.
Even though my stomach condition is very big and I have difficulty moving, I never miss a day without doing gymnastics. There were no two mothers who accompanied me, I still did it for the sake of being able to give birth smoothly. Food is also very much taken care of. For emotions, Hendra helped me a lot to not think about things that are not important.
“Aw.” I touched my stomach when I felt pain.
“You all right?” asked Hendra who was sitting by my side.
“Become again. It's not a false contraction. I've felt it a few times since this morning. The distance is getting closer.” I rubbed my stomach.
“We'd better get to the hospital now.” Hendra gave orders to Kafin.
“How about the needs as long as there later?” my many.
“These are in the trunk.” Hendra hugged me. “We will soon meet our son, dear.”
Soon what Hendra meant was not as fast as I imagined. I had to endure the pain for hours. No matter what I do, whether it's sitting, standing, walking, lying down, the pain doesn't diminish. The nurse and midwife examined me and decided that I did not need pain relief. Sure oes. Because they are not the ones who feel it.
Hendra did not leave my side for a second. Whenever any male medics came in, he immediately chased her away. He only allows me to be handled by women. Mercifully. Because I would also not be willing to let the men see or touch my feminine area.
After a great fight with Hendra, against the pain that made me want to die, and the strong impulse that consumed my remaining strength, the little hero was born into the world. I cried when I heard her cry for the first time.
“Hadiyan Bagas Perkasa,” whispered Hendra while our son was in my arms. “Thank you, baby. You're a cool mom.”
Two days in the hospital, I couldn't rest because of the large number of people who visited. The little one can't separate from me either. She was always hungry, plus, she would cry if put on her bed. It's a good thing he still wants to be hugged by his father or I'm going to get tired of having to keep looking after him.
Coming home was the thing I had been waiting for the most. I can sleep soundly again in my bed, bathe in a soothing tub, and eat delicious food. The one I miss the most, being able to sleep in my husband's arms again.
Everyone instantly fell in love with Hadi, as soon as we called him. My mom and dad come every day to see how she is. Om and his would-be tant as well. Not to mention the oms and aunts who are more worthy of being called grandparents, but they refuse.
“Good. I can rest a few hours while the little one sleeps.”
“Did Yuyun help you when you needed something?” tanyakanya. I'm nodding.
“How about work in the office?” I asked back.
“Everything's smooth. I also talked to Papa about our new project. Maybe in the middle of the year I will go to London again to see Xavier.” He got off the bed. “You must be hungry. I took a shower for a while.”
We had just finished dinner, Yuyun came to bring Hadi who was crying. Baby hungry. Hendra invited me to the living room so I could sit more comfortably on the sofa. When the little guy fell asleep, my husband offered to take him back to his room. I closed my eyes while waiting for him to come back.
Hearing the door open, I held my seat up. Hendra wasn't sitting by my side. He sat in the chair in front of me with the table between us. He put a map on the table. I looked at him in wonder.
“Read,” says Hendra. I took the map and opened the cover. My eyes were round reading the head of the first file.
“Hendra? What is this?” ask me with a vibrating voice.
“You've given me a boy. That's enough,” he said slowly. “I won't keep you here. You are not happy with me. I won't be able to touch you anymore either. It's not fair to you. You deserve to live with a man who can love you.”
“Do not worry about anything. All your needs will be on me until you find a husband. I won't just hands off,” he added.
“Hendra,” I said slowly.
“I leave Hadi completely in your care.” He quickly cut my words. “Once he's five years old, I'll come pick him up once a month to spend the weekend with me. I don't care if you'll tell him about his father. But when he's five, I'll come.”
“So you don't want us to be together anymore? Really no apologies for me?”
“Don't worry Papa and Mama. They won't bother you anymore. They know that Hadi is really my biological son.”
“I don't care. What they want to believe, I don't want to know. I was asking you and you kept talking ignoring me.”
“I gave all my love, attention, and time to you for six years. Is that still not enough?” That question was like a slap to me. “You still want to add how many more years in our loveless marriage?”

Sorry for the delay today, yes, guys. I went to the health center for a vaccine this morning. But it also failed because of a long debate with the care doctor. So, I'll try again another day.
Thanks for understanding. I will publish it soon. (｡･3) ⁇ ♡
Greetings dear, dear,
