Thorny Love

*Chapter 6

"Don't mas! I don't want you to do anything. I don't want to be away from you right now. Please," said Laila while looking at Rama's face with a hopeful look.

"But, what if the black shadow you see is a vane? We could be in danger."

"But I don't want you anywhere. If it's a thief, what if it attacks you, Mas? Then, the thief attacked me. What's gonna happen to us?"

"Then, what should I do now?" rama asked confusedly too.

"Leave it. As long as you're in this house with me, I'm sure there won't be anyone who dares to attack bothering us."

"But .... "

"Mas. Don't tell me you mind staying here tonight. I .... " Laila hung up her sentence. He was sad.

"I know I don't mean anything to you. I'm sorry for bothering you, ma'am. Now, you can go. I'm fine now" said Laila as she wiped her tears.

"Laila, it's not that. I .... "

"I know how you feel. No, no more talking about. You can go now" said Laila cutting Rama's words.

"Laila, enough. I'll stay here tonight. You don't have to put on such a sad face" Rama said as he touched both shoulders. Laila's.

"really?"

"Yes. I'll accompany you tonight."

"Thank you very much Rama" said Laila again burst into Rama's arms.

"Well, now you go in first. I'm going to park my car in the garage right now" Rama said as he gently stroked Laila's hair.

"I'm waiting for you here."

"Don't dong. You go in first. You are pregnant young again. Which can be too windy at night. Not good for your health and our future children," said Rama while touching Laila's stomach.

"Well, if that's what Rama said, I'll listen to what Mas Rama said" said Laila, revealing the sweetest smile she had.

"That's dong. Yeah, well, now you come in, and wait for me inside."

"Yes, um."

Laila went inside, while Rama, he immediately headed for the car that he parked on the road in front of the house.

"Basic bastards! So this is why Zia's been hurt lately. It is very rude of Rama. If I feel this heart, maybe I have beaten Rama until he was battered. Unfortunately, I don't have the slightest right to do that" Restu said as he struck the steering wheel of the car in front of him.

Meanwhile, Rama who had gotten into the car, immediately took his phone. He felt very guilty for Zia. He disconnected his phone just because of his panic.

"Oh my God, I hope Zia doesn't think about me. May he take a call from me" said Rama, calling Ziana's number.

There was a voice that said that the number he was heading to was inactive, or was out of reach at this time. This made Rama's heart feel disappointed. There was also guilt that arose in his heart.

"Yes God. Why am I so stupid. What did I just do? I've hurt Zia's heart now. Stupid, stupid, stupid" Rama said while banging his head in annoyance.

"I know what Rama is doing now. He must be calling his first wife. I can guess from the beginning, why he didn't let me wait for him outside. It's because he doesn't want me to bother him who wants to talk to Zia."

"Ih." Laila stomped her feet in annoyance. He immediately left the living room.

This morning, after breakfast, Laila asks Rama to accompany her to go to the hospital to check on her pregnancy.

"Mas, can you ask for help?" asked Laila while cleaning up the dishes of their breakfast.

"Solicit what please?" rama asked without looking because he was busy with his phone.

"I went to the hospital to check on my pregnancy. I am ashamed to go alone. They always ask where my husband is when I come there."

"always? Have you ever checked your own pregnancy?" rama asked not to understand.

Laila fell silent. There was also a sense of anxiety in his heart at this moment. The reason he gave Rama was wrong. This was all because he spoke without thinking first.

'I've only been pregnant for a few weeks. Never had a pregnancy check after the doctor said I was pregnant yesterday, ' Laila said in her heart as she thought of the reason for the embarrassment of her mispronouncing.

"Sorry Rama, I mean, I'm ashamed, if later I come alone. They must have asked where my husband was. I'm afraid they think I'm pregnant without a husband" Laila said with a sad face.

"You don't have to think about what other people are saying. What matters is that you're not who they say you are."

"I came from the village of Rama. I can't ignore what others say. But, I won't force you to make friends with me if you don't want to."

Hearing a disappointed tone from the words Laila said, Rama who was focusing on his phone, now turned his attention to Laila. He also got up from his seat. Walking closer to Laila who was downcast sad because her desire was not fulfilled by Rama.

"Yes, I'll accompany you to the hospital later in the day."

"Kok it later, mas? Why not now?"

"Now you can't, La. I have to get to the office. In the office there was an important meeting this morning."

"Oh. Yes, that's it. We'll go later in the afternoon. But you have to remember, don't forget to accompany me to the hospital."

"Yes, La. I try not to forget."

"Lho, how do you say that anyway, Mas?"

"Yes already. I promise I won't forget."

"Well, that's dong mas Rama. I'll wait for you" said Laila with a sweet smile.

'Why do I feel like there's a change from Laila now? He became more and more brave to me, ' said Rama in his heart while returning Laila's sweet smile.

'Mas Rama, I will not let you choose my love, mas. As Mama Sinta said, me and your first wife, both your wives. So, I will make you fair to me, Laila said in her heart.
