Laura and Sabiel were fixated with eyeballs staring at each other. The hearts of the two grieved at the uncle Ali's mouth. Sabiel turned his head slowly, staring at the figure of the middle-aged man with a blank look.
Divorcing Laura was something she would never do in any way. Laura is his life, half his soul is with that woman. Divorcing from Laura meant Sabiel had to die.
Sabiel shook his head slowly, but was full of firmness. "I'll never divorce Laura" she said. "This woman is my breath. He's my soul mate. Nothing can separate him from me"
Plakkkp! Uncle Ali's hard slap landed on Sabiel's cheek, leaving a pungent heat that was able to deafen his eardrum. Uncle Ali immediately pulled Sabiel's collar, "You want me to beat up again, huh?!" he said full of threats.
Sabiel smiled obliquely, he was ready with all the consequences he had to bear because of his actions. "If beating me makes uncle satisfied, please beat me. I'd rather die than lose Laura" Sabiel said straightforwardly.
Buk up! Buk up! Buk up!
With full of emotion, Uncle Ali's fist darted in several parts of Sabiel's body. Sabiel fell down without any intention to simply fend off the blow. His lips were bleeding again after they had dried.
Meanwhile, Laura who stood watching the quarrel felt her entire body squeezing. Her eyes pilar see her husband's body back into a samsak. Laura's legs were trembling, unable to stand. He sat weak. His head feels spinning plus his eyes are starting to blur. There was the sound of her uncle's voice forcing Sabiel to divorce her. The pain hit his heart, how could he part with Sabiel when his heart was already possessed by that man?
With eyes dimming, Laura muttered softly, "I'm good.."
Bruk!
The tiny body collapsed smashing into the coldness of the marble. Faintly, he saw Sabiel and Uncle Ali widen their eyes to look at him sprawled. Sabiel's footsteps were no longer heard as he approached Laura's body. The eyes were tightly closed, the lashes were silent there was no sign of movement, as if hiding Laura from the chaos of her life that was tossed in the wrath of the uncle.
Sabiel raised the tiny body directly in his lap, he patted Laura's cheek slowly, "Honey! Sweetheart! Wake baby!" his voice shook and his face paled.
Sabiel immediately held Laura in his arms, he ignored Ali's equally anxious uncle and followed his steps towards the stairs.
"Mhd.. Mboook" cried Sabiel at the two aides who came out of the hiding place with quick steps.
Both of them were shocked to see Madam Laura being carried in an unconscious condition. "Ya Tu-an" said Mbok Suti.
"Call with Dr. Melisa immediately. Tell him to come here" Sabiel quickly ordered as he stepped up the stairs.
Sabiel put Laura on the bed, the man was agitated to see Laura was unconscious, "Honey woke up, I beg you to wake up dear" Sabiel rubbed the palms and feet of Laura to warm.
The man brushed away the tears flowing down his cheeks. Uncle Ali stood silently not far from their position, the middle-aged man was stunned to see how Sabiel was holding back from his fear of Laura's condition. Moreover, when Uncle Ali saw Sabiel shed tears staring at the helpless Laura.
During that time the man was beaten all out, he did not show the look of a grimacing face and even cried. But only when she saw Laura fall unconscious did the tears drip out without her being able to hold on anymore. Uncle Ali kept silent, the worried look of Sabiel stirred up his heart. The man was terrified if anything happened to Laura.
"Is that how much you love, Sabiel?"
Uncle Ali pondered the question that suddenly came to his mind. Until the moment a female doctor rushed in, Ali's uncle regained his senses and walked over to the bed where Laura lay weak.
Doctor Melisa could not help her surprise when her eyes saw Sabiel's face that was filled with traces of blows. Blistering on some sides of her handsome face, made the doctor Melisa spread her gaze and find the middle-aged man standing a little further away from the bed position. The man looked at them with caution, but Melisa's doctor saw the anxiety of the fierce look on her face.
"How's doc?" sabiel asked worriedly. The man watched as Melisa's doctor examined Laura.
After doing the examination, the doctor sighed slowly. "Mistress' condition is stable, there are no meaningful wounds on her body. In a few moments, the madam must be awake" said doctor Melisa explained.
Sabiel sighed in relief, "Thank God" he said softly. The man sat on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing Laura's forehead. "You're making me anxious, baby" she whispered softly.
Doctor Melisa who was still watching Sabiel again said, "Do you want me to treat it.." asked the doctor Melisa hesitated while pointing at Sabiel's face that was full of wounds.
Sabiel smiled faintly, "No need, I will treat it myself later" he said.
"Alright, then I resign first Mr" said doctor Melisa. "I hope something like this doesn't happen again. Because it will greatly affect the condition of the fetus" continued Dr. Melisa later.
"Fetus?! Laura's pregnant?!" uncle Ali walked up to the two men. "Is Laura really pregnant, Sabiel?!" the man widened his eyes.
Sabiel and Melisa's doctor nodded together, "His condition is only a few weeks old. Still very vulnerable" Melisa's doctor insisted.
Uncle Ali was surprised looking at the calm looking Sabiel. While Melisa's doctor has passed leaving the two men who are now back face to face. Suddenly uncle Ali staggered back. His legs trembled backwards a few distances until his back hit the wall. His hands were holding on to the wall so he wouldn't stumble on the floor.
"Laura's pregnant? Oh my God what should I do? What am I supposed to tell her dad there?" Uncle Ali muttered inwardly.
The sky had blackened by then, the look in his eyes was fixed on Laura's lips which started to move slowly.
"Sa-biel" Laura's shrill voice was clearly heard in the ears of the two men.
Sabiel looked at his wife lovingly, he ducked to bring the ear closer to Laura's weak lips. "Yes baby? Are you conscious?" the tanyanya is full of haru flavor.
Sabiel grabbed Laura's cold hand, she placed it on the surface of her bruised lips. "I'm here baby" he said, peeping at Laura's palm repeatedly. "I'm right here"
Uncle Ali who was trying to neutralize his shock, witnessed what Sabiel was doing. From his body language, it was obvious that the man loved Laura so much. The dark black eyes were focused on Laura who slowly opened her eyes, she did not heed the pain that must have been whack all over her body due to being beaten all out. I don't know why Uncle Ali's heart felt guilty for beating Sabiel blindly like that.
All eyes watched Laura's petals begin to open. Those brown eyes stared at my battered face of her husband. Instantly the tears flowed back, his weak hand reaching for Sabiel's cheek desperately. His fingers traced bruises that stained his good looks. Sabiel let the fingers caress his lips, gently rubbing the corner of the bleeding lips.
"Laura" her uncle's call made the couple turn to the source of the voice.
The eyes of the two of them looked at Uncle Ali who was walking slightly restrained towards them. "You okay?" tanyanya was wracked with guilt.
Laura smiled gently, her hand reaching for Uncle Ali's hand that was next to her. "I'm fine uncle" he said, calming the anxiety embedded in the frame of his uncle's fatherly face.
"You.....pregnant?" uncle Ali was still not satisfied with the doctor's explanation earlier.
Laura nodded, "We will be parents, uncle" he said with a warm smile. Her gaze now turned on her husband's face, they were smiling together.
"Uncle" Laura tightened her grip on Uncle Ali's hand. "I beg your pardon" his eyes turned bleak looking at his uncle who stood looming.
"Our past was indeed a mess uncle, Sabiel had made a mistake. But we can't turn back the clock to fix it. We can't change the past, but that doesn't mean we can't plan for a better future together, can we?" laura said at length.
"Uncle look at my belly" Laura asked her uncle. "A few months later this stomach will grow. Sabiel and I looked forward to those moments. I beg you, let us live together to raise the fruit of our love uncle" Laura said in a miserable voice.
Uncle Ali looked puzzled, his eyes looking at Laura's swollen eye bags from crying for too long. Behind his disappointment in Laura and Sabiel, Ali's uncle still harbored his pity when he witnessed their sincerity.
In fact, Laura, who had been forced to marry, finally accepted Sabiel sincerely. Seeing the seriousness in his tone, Ali's uncle concluded that Laura was enjoying her role as a wife. It felt like the desire to separate them was impossible, let alone the condition of Laura who was now pregnant. The middle-aged man will not reach the heart, separating a child from his father.
Uncle Ali let out his breath, "Please promise me you'll divorce your wife soon, and get married officially to Laura" he said, staring firmly at Sabiel.
Highlight Sabiel's eyes gasped at Uncle Laura's words, he straightened his body staring back at Uncle Ali with complete confidence, "I promise, uncle"
The night was getting stronger then. After being forced by Laura, Ali's uncle decides to stay at Sabiel's apartment. Now Laura's father's younger sister is resting in the basement of the first floor. In the room that was used by Intan.
Meanwhile Sabiel was still busy complaining while Laura was busy treating her injuries. Sabiel closed his eyes when Laura applied the medicine on his bruised temple. Their sitting position facing each other with legs crossed on the bed, making both hands Sabiel could not bear to caress Laura's thigh gently.
"Silence baby!" snapped Laura softly.
With eyes still closed, Sabiel grinned ignorantly. "Thank you dear" he said, grimacingly holding back the pain from Laura's topical medicine.
Laura circulated her eyes, looking at which other part of the wound she had yet to treat. "For?" tanyakanya.
"You defended me desperately, when you used to hate me so much" Sabiel opened his eyes.
Laura stopped her busyness from treating Sabiel's wound, the woman returned Sabiel's gaze with a sweet smile. "Our condition has changed better Sabiel. Of course I'll defend you, I don't want to raise our son alone" he said, looking down at his flat stomach.
Sabiel commented a warm smile, his eyes staring at the growing baby behind Laura's stomach. The man immediately hugged Laura, his chest feeling warm amidst the bruises and scratches that made him grill.
"You also said love just now" she whispered in Laura's hair. "My heart is so happy when you say it while crying" she later revealed.
Laura returned Sabiel's embrace tightly, the woman could even feel Sabiel's heart pounding. His lips curved back, giving the most beautiful smile to what Sabiel said.
The next day Ali's uncle decided to return to Distance. Laura and Sabiel drove him to the city station. Now that they were standing face to face at the main gate, Sabiel gave Uncle Laura's carry-on bag with a warm smile.
"Jaga Laura, let him continue his education" Ali's uncle told Sabiel, nodding his head.
"Uncle..dad?" laura said agitatedly.
As if understanding his nephew's worries, Ali's uncle gently stroked Laura's shoulder. "Uncle will help you explain this matter to your father. Uncle is sure, he will eventually understand" he said, calming Laura's anxiety.
Instantly Laura smiled in relief, and the smile was also contagious to Sabiel. After hugging Laura and Sabiel, Ali's uncle walked into the station. The couple stared at the back of Uncle Ali who was walking away from where they were standing.
Sabiel embraced Laura's waist, while Laura leaned her head against Sabiel's chest.
They did not expect, the journey of life that God laid out for them was so winding. But both hearts are equally convinced that God, with all his unexpected destiny, always gives the best for His servant. Laura believes that God brought Sabiel into her life with a good purpose.
