Womb of Titipan

Critically

After a fairly long journey back and forth to Panti at midnight, not to mention the struggle had to take young mango from the tree by climbing it himself, not to mention the struggle, aaric returned to his home at 4 a.m. Arriving there Aaric slowly wakes up Naina who is fast asleep.

Naina immediately woke up, her face immediately looked happy to see her husband carrying what he wanted.

"Thank you dear," said Naina while eating ravenous young mango.

Aaric did not reply, he just squinted his eyes seeing his wife continue to eat the ramjak without the slightest hint of spiciness.

"Dear, we'll get a stomachache." Aaric kept the vessel away from Naina.

Naina shook her head.

"No, I still want to." Naina pulled back the pot and then ate it again.

Aaric gave up and let it go, he then remembered Farida's mother's message and Sumi's mother earlier if the desire of pregnant people is sometimes unreasonable, such as eating nighttime celery, such as eating dinner, just like his wife today.

"Sleep baby. You must be so tired" Naina saw her husband who looked very tired.

"No. I'll wait for you" replied Aaric who was leaning on the back of the sofa.

Naina patted her thighs.

"Sleep here first then."

Aaric smiled and then obeyed his wife's wishes, he laid his body down using the wife's lap as his pillow.

"I'm sorry baby, because of me you must be overachieved." Naina stroked her husband's hair.

"It's okay baby, as long as you and our child are happy." Aaric kissed his wife's stomach.

Naina smiled and went back to eating the ramjak using a spoon, she seemed to be carefully afraid that the sauce would drip on her husband who was sleeping on his lap.

"Whatever I'll do for you and your mother, son," said Aaric as he stroked and occasionally kissed his wife's stomach.

Naina smiled again and refocused on eating rujak, until a while later she felt that her husband had fallen asleep on her lap.

Naina kept an empty pot, and gently stroked the hair of her husband, who had fallen asleep.

Naina looked at her husband's face that looked very tired making it unbearable if she had to wake him up to invite him to move on the mattress.

Naina intends to let it go until dawn because the time has shown at half-five in the morning.

***

If there was no important meeting today, surely Aaric chose not to go to work today because he was still very sleepy, also his body is aching due to his hard efforts to climb a tall mango tree last night.

But he had no intention of telling his wife, he did not want to make Naina feel guilty and as a result his wife would no longer tell him to do this and that again, because Aaric felt as a husband and father-to-be he had to be on standby to fulfill all his wife's cravings.

In office.

After the meeting Aaric immediately entered his room and threw his body on the sofa, while loosening his tie he reached into his pocket to take a cellphone intending to call his wife.

Aaric seemed to talk briefly with Naina, hearing the voice of his wife made Aaric again excited, even making him want to go home soon.

Naina's pregnancy brings her own happiness, in addition to making her love her wife so easily misses her.

"Yes, I love you." Aaric hung up.

He then stood up to his desk, looking at the pile of files he had to check immediately.

Before long the sound of the door being knocked, Aaric then saw Ryan his best friend into the room approaching him in a hurry.

"Critical dance." Ryan looked at his best friend's face.

Aaric immediately stood up, staring at Ryan's face in disbelief.

"Sheryl just told me that if Dance's condition is suddenly critical, we're going to the hospital now, do you want to come?"

Aaric immediately lowered his head to think, his face looking extremely confused.

"You have to see her, said her mother, Dance kept calling your name" Ryan said.

"Sorry, I can't,"

"Why?"

"I have to keep Naina feeling, let alone her being pregnant. I don't want to hurt her" replied Aaric.

"Looking at her won't hurt Naina, I'm sure she'll understand if you look at her as just a best friend, nothing more."

Aaric looks worried.

"You can keep it a secret from him if you find Tari,"

Aaric shook his head.

"I'm sorry I can't." Aaric sat back in his chair.

"It's not that I don't sympathize with her, but if I meet her without Naina's knowledge, I feel like I'm betraying her."

Ryan nodded.

"Then tell her and invite her to go with you to see Dari, however Tari is also her sister, I'm sure that Naina actually wants to see her brother's condition."

Aaric was silent for a moment.

"I'll think about it first."

"It is better not to be long, lest you regret, remember his critical condition."

Aaric nodded.

Ryan then left the room, while Aaric thought hard.

***

Dahlia cried at the whim in Intan's arms, Sheryl tried to calm him down, while Dani and Ryan sat pensively in a chair, and Vishnu paced back and forth anxiously.

They were all waiting for the doctors who were doing the examination on Tari whose condition suddenly decreased after Vishnu and Dahlia said that he did not get a donor.

Before long some doctors and nurses came out of the room, they all immediately stormed and asked about the state of Dance.

"Her blood pressure suddenly dropped, which caused the patient's condition to decline, but now it's stable, we give him sleeping pills so he can rest," one of the doctors said then to leave.

Dahlia and Vishnu looked relieved, as did the others.

"Thank you guys for coming here when Auntie called earlier," said Dahlia seeing Intan and Sheryl alternating.

"Yes Aunty, Tari is our best friend, of course we are also very worried about him" Sheryl replied.

"Tante knows, therefore Aunt immediately remembered you when the critical state of Dance was, oh yes you did not tell Aaric?" Dahlia sees Ryan and Dani.

Dani and Ryan looked at each other and seemed confused to answer Dahlia's question.

"Tante understood, Aaric definitely did not want to come here," said Dahlia sadly.

"Aaric may be coming here with Aunt, with his wife" Ryan said.

Dahlia looked shocked.

"If with his wife should not be necessary, because it will certainly hurt Tari very much and will even aggravate the situation alone" replied Dahlia.

Everyone looked shocked when suddenly Aaric appeared together with Naina, and it was certain that both of them heard Dahlia's words.

Naina immediately looks awry, but Aaric immediately holds his wife's hand to step closer to them all.

Dahlia who saw the arrival of Aaric immediately rushed to hug him while crying without caring for Naina who was standing next to him.

"Tante knows that if you still care so much about Dance, you won't just forget Dance" Dahlia said, crying.

Naina looks increasingly wrong.
