Towards True Love 2

Tangled Envelopes

Arriving at the store I immediately got a warm welcome my best friend Lili and my employees Ms. Nia. Instead of replying kindly, I responded to them in lethargy.

My mood's not so good today. Starting the day with anxiety is not good for me.

"What's up, Ndy?" lili asked after following me to the cashier table.

"I'm confused" I said in a lethargic tone.

"Stupid? What makes you confused? Don't tell me, you and Rio are having a fight?" Lili began to assume.

"No, Li. I was confused about something else" I replied. Lili seemed to sigh in relief after hearing it.

"Ndy, if you need a place to tell a story. I'm ready to listen to your story. Don't hesitate, I'll keep it a secret. If I can, I'll help you find a solution to solve the confusion you're facing."

Hearing Lili say that sentence, I was moved. Her sincerity is so I can feel. I hugged him tightly, spilling all the turmoil that had lingered in my heart since last night.

Telling my fears and trying to ask for an opinion from his point of view. In addition to being a friend, Lili can also be like a sister to me. His advice is exactly the same as the advice of Bang Inu first to me.

"Tell me the truth. I'm sure Rio won't scold you." Lili wiped my tears with her fingers. Once again I ran in his arms.

"Thank you, because you've stayed by my side even though I've been chiseling the wounds in your heart all the time." My inner.

After ba'da isya, I stood waiting for Rio in the balcon room. As usual, Rio accompanied his father chatting in front of the TV finished dinner.

I put my feet down like I was measuring the floor. Walking back and forth alone holding a paper.

"Bismillah, I can say it." I'm talking alone.

"Say what?" Rio's voice suddenly said that made me shocked. I hid the paper I wanted to show her behind my back.

"No-no" I answered.

"What's Umi doing at the balcon? Isn't it cold, the wind's pretty strong, you know?" he walked closer.

"Why is your face so tense? Is there anything you're worried about?" Rio easily caught my anxiety.

"No, Abi. Come on in, Umi's already feeling cold," I asked her to wish she would follow my door.

Instead of waiting for him to walk into the room first, Rio actually hugged me.

"If it's cold it should be abi hugging right, Mi?" he said with a dirty smile.

"What's that?" ask her again when her net caught something in my grasp.

"Yes God.. Why should he see it. Is this part of your plan?" I murmured in my heart.

"Mu-nothing, this is just an ordinary envelope," I explained so that Rio did not ask for it from me.

But my estimates just missed. Curiosity actually grew in Rio's mind. My husband asked me to open the white envelope I was packing.

"If it's nothing, why won't Umi open the envelope in front of Abi? Is that a secret your husband should never know?" I swallowed my own salivary because it was choked with his words. Right, there's really nothing I need to hide from him.

"alright. Abi can open it by himself." I held out an envelope that was not perfectly shaped. In anxiety I had damaged it until the envelope became a little tangled.

"Umi, is Umi really pregnant?" ask her with joy.

"Maybe," I replied in a casual tone.

"Coconce possible? This pregnancy test shows that Umi is positive for pregnancy." Rio looked at me confused.

"I'm not too sure yet because I haven't done the USG. It was just the result of a simple test tool." I walked away leaving him still excitedly staring at the two-striped test kit in his hand.

How many seconds later Rio ran after me and hugged my body tightly.

"Abi is very happy. I don't know what to say to Umi. Abi is very grateful that God has trusted us to be real parents." He then let go of his embrace.

"Umi, thank you dear ...," he said as he kissed my face.

"Tomorrow USG, huh? Abi can't wait to see his would-be champion abi." Now Rio changed to caress my stomach which is still very flat. "Assalamualaikum, dear. Son, this is abi. It's abi's voice, honey. Healthy in Umi's stomach yes, son. Abi loves you." My stomach is filled by him.

"Mi, from now on don't do too much. Umi no longer needs to prepare breakfast. Don't do anything else. Umi just needs to take care of our son. Just get enough rest." Her warm, soft palms caressed my cheeks. His love is so sincere to me. Why is my love not there for him?
