Bonds Without Love
EPILOGUES

Bisma slightly tidied up her appearance while staring at herself on the phone screen as the screen showed the writing ringing. Bisma tried to contact Erina who is in a different country from her, Indonesia via WhatsApp.

Well, Bisma is indeed overseas for Business trip. Bhishma went to Canada to expand his business in the country. Bhishma could not ask Leo to represent him and was forced to leave his pregnant wife.

Erina's gestational age entered four months, which made Bhishma feel she had to pay more attention to the mother of her children. Bisma does not want to return to feel like a failure to be a husband and father for his small family.

Amidst his busy life in Canada for a few days, Bisma never forgets to just contact his wife. Whether through a casual call or vidio, the most important news from the three people who mean a lot in his life.

Not long ago the screen of Bisma's phone began to count seconds with Erina's face visible there. Bisma did not receive his wife's greeting, Erina said briefly then was seen coming out of the room and Bhishma only noticed.

"Sweetie careful!" Bisma panicked as her phone screen showed Erina walking quickly towards Arumi's room. Erina's stomach was starting to grow and that made Bisma very worried about his wife.

Erina didn't seem to listen too much to what Bisma told her, she was still seen taking wide strides until Bisma just felt a little dizzy looking at her phone screen. It felt like Bhishma would stop him.

"Huh, Arumi's asleep." Erina said, her tone sounding low like holding back a disappointment. Maya who happens to be there smiles kindly and says goodbye to Erina. That one maid did understand the situation the most.

"Mas, you're late to call me." Erina protested the next few seconds. Bhishma smiled at him, the time difference between Canada and Indonesia was their problem. The bisma alone is confused about choosing the right time.

Bhishma was in Montreal, where it was twelve hours later than Jakarta. Bisma usually calls late at night so that it is daytime in Jakarta and Bisma does not need to disturb the sleep of his wife and child.

Now, Bisma calls Erina at nine in the morning Montreal time, no wonder Arumi is asleep. Because now in Jakarta it's nine at night. But Bisma's main purpose in calling was to see his wife's face.

So it doesn't matter if Arumi is asleep, a child should rest. Bhishma could ask the little girl's news to the mother whom she missed so much. I can't wait to finish my job in Canada.

"Sorry ..." That's the only word that bisma says. Erina was seen sighing and moved to a place beside Arumi. That way Bisma could see the queen and her little princess were on the phone screen, they were both absolutely beautiful.

"Mas, Arumi misses you." Erina said quietly, like trying not to wake their little girl. Bisma smiled back in response to Erina's words just now, then slightly loosened the tie around her neck.

"What about you? ma'am Arumi, don't you miss me, hm?" Bisma asked stared intensely at Erina through their communication tool. She held back a smile as Erina's face looked flushed red, which had not long turned flat.

"Considered you? papah Arumi, my longing for you has been piling up so long you've been busy with the company!" Erina said, but despite saying so Erina's face still looked expressionless and made Bisma feel amused herself.

Erina still remains her own self who is not good at expression, it is not uncommon for the woman to make the romantic atmosphere that Bhishma creates stiff. But at least now there's been a change in their marriage.

In addition to Erina and Bhishma who have become a loving couple, they already have children and Erina is also pregnant. God finally gave happiness after the test that Erina and Bhishma had been facing all along.

"Then I'll be home soon to treat your homesickness." Bhishma responded to Erina with a smile that continued to adorn her lips. If possible, Bisma was eager to hug Erina and shed his longing for his wife.

"Ah, no need to think about what I just said. You can stay there for as long as you need and remember to take care of your health. I don't want to take care of you if you get home sick."

Bisma laughed softly at the sarcastic words of his wife, for some reason Bhishma felt special even though Erina said it was as if Bhishma would be troublesome if sick. It may be true about the views of different people.

Others may think Erina is too rigid and not as cool as a wife, but different from what Bhishma saw about her. Bhishma sees Erina as a kind and caring wife, Erina is just not good at expression.

"Darling, did you crave something today? I'm sorry I wasn't with you when you sniffed, I promised I'd make it up to you when I got home." Speech Bisma diverts because it has been more than two weeks of Bhishma in Canada.

"Alright, you must remember to keep your promise and go home immediately if your work there is done." Erina responded to Bhishma's words, the woman suddenly grimaced like she felt something painful.

"Darling, what happened to your stomach? you all right?" Bisma asked as Erina continued to hold her stomach, spontaneously Bhishma got up from her seat and intended to return home from Canada to meet his wife in Indonesia.

Then Bhishma realized something, she might be too late to see Erina. The duration from Montreal to Jakarta is up to twenty-three hours and it really takes time. The bisma couldn't have come in time for his wife.

"My wife ..." Bhishma held back his words because their vidio call was suddenly interrupted. Not long after, Bhishma received an incoming message from Erina. The contents of the message tell her that Erina is fine and Bhishma does not need to worry.

But despite her worries, she rushes to Leo and asks him to take care of their return ticket to Indonesia. Bisma requests a flight as soon as possible to Leo.

Yes, Leo did follow Bhishma to Canada, but there are some things that Bhishma has to deal with on his own. Because however Bhishma is the leader of the company, Bhishma cannot just sit back and wait for the results.

Maybe someone is curious about the company that Bhishma leads. Then it will be given a little leak, the name of the company was taken from the word Radhika which is abbreviated to D.K Group and D.K Group was once a property company.

Today, D.K Group is a large and successful company that extends in the field of industry. D.K Group has several hospitals, property owned by it is also spread in several Asian countries and will develop in America.

Not many know how the once small company turned out to be big, certainly had to go through a process that is so long and full of struggle. Here Bhishma only enjoys and continues his family business.

Returning to Bhishma, the man who was at a Canadian restaurant rushed back to the hotel to pack his things. Bisma thought of nothing, other than to immediately meet Erina who was in need of it.

"God, please protect my wife and children. Please take care of them before I go home." Mumbled the bisma in his heart. Erina may have said she was okay, but Bhishma felt she had to go home to make sure.

Bisma tried to focus on driving even though her mind recalled the moment Erina grimaced while holding her stomach. Bhishma did not know as much as what Erina was feeling, but perhaps her presence was able to make the pain slightly lessened.

That afternoon Erina was accompanying Arumi to play in the playroom, Arumi who was able to walk and in the process of learning to talk looked very active with her doll toys. Erina felt anxious seeing how Arumi played.

Erina and her body are fine. Yesterday when Bisma called Erina only had cramps in her stomach. Erina can find out because she directly chat with the obstetrician through a doctor application.

Today is indeed a lot of important applications that we can download on mobile phones, one of which is the application that Erina has. In fact, it was Bhishma who gave the idea to install the app and Erina just obeyed her husband.

It is not unexpected that the doctor application is very useful when Bisma is in Canada. Erina did not have to bother to see a doctor when she had problems with her stomach. Because the doctor who is in the application is not an arbitrary doctor.

"Darling ..." The voice distracted Erina from Arumi, then Erina turned to the source of the voice and how surprised Arumi's mother was to see the man standing in the doorway of the playroom while carrying the parcel.

"Mass?" Erina murmured, suddenly time seemed to stop when Erina realized the man in the doorway was Bhishma, the husband she missed so much. Erina reflexively stood up and walked over to the formally dressed man.

"Darling, does your stomach still hurt? I'm sorry I just came to you now, I'm really a useless husband." Bisma in their arms. Erina felt Bisma's embrace strengthen and made the woman take her breath.

"Mas, what are you saying, huh? didn't I tell you I was okay?" Erina asked while trying to rid herself of the embrace of Bhishma, although the result was nil because the embrace of Bhishma was too strong.

"Okay, my son is in pain if you hold me like this." Only then did Erina escape from the embrace of Bhishma, it turns out that their son was efficacious for her husband. Then Bisma apologized and gently touched Erina's stomach.

Erina smiled at what Bisma was doing to her distended stomach until someone interrupted them, who else if not little Arumi. Arumi pulled the end of the suit that Bhishma was wearing and distracted their attention.

"Pope ..." Said Arumi in a typical voice of a small child while holding a doll in his other hand. Erina and Bhishma simultaneously saw Arumi, then they crouched down near Arumi and Arumi immediately embraced Bhishma.

"Oh ..." Bisma chuckles at Arumi's behavior, for a little girl like Arumi is difficult to embrace Bhishma, her small hands will not be able to embrace the large body of Bhishma, but from the way Arumi leans can be guessed.

Arumi was hugging Bhishma even though it didn't look like hugging. Then Bhishma grabbed Arumi and held her. Erina stood up when she saw Bhishma standing up and holding their daughter.

Bisma asked Arumi a lot of things because she had made sure Erina was okay. Although Bisma did not get the right answer from her daughter, Bisma spoke excitedly to Arumi and made Erina smile.

In the afternoon, Erina accompanied Bisma to watch television in the living room. While Arumi was still sleeping since last afternoon, it made Erina and Bhishma have time to be alone like a newly met couple.

"Darling, are you really not craving something?" Ask Bhishma for the umpteenth time. Erina was tired of hearing the question over and over again, even though Erina had repeatedly said she did not want anything.

"I'm just making sure you might change your mind. Ah, the movie's good." Bisma's words instantly shifted when she realized Erina's gaze towards her changed, then she pretended to focus on watching television and eating snacks.

Erina snorted at Bisma who was secretly smiling, like there was something funny that Erina was unaware of. Then an idea flashed through Erina's mind. Because Bhishma seems eager to do something, Erina will respond.

"Mas, I suddenly want mangoes." Said Erina who tried to put her face as bright as possible so that Bhishma would believe her. Sure enough Bisma was immediately enthusiastic and asked the type of mango that Erina was wanting.

"Mas, did you know that behind the mansion there was a mango tree? I saw the tree was already fruitful, can I pick it for me?" Eruna asked while waiting for the reaction that Bhishma would show later. Hope the plan works.

Yes, Erina did not seriously want mangoes, she just wanted to make Bhishma stop asking something that Erina had answered. Erina was sure that Bhishma would soon ask the same thing as before, so Erina preceded Bhishma to speak.

"Well, how many mangoes do you want? I'll pick it up soon." Bisma said enthusiastically after a long silence while folding her sleeves, even though at that time Bisma was wearing a short white shirt.

Erina blinked her eyes several times, the reaction that Bhishma showed was beyond her expectations. Shouldn't Bhishma have asked her something else that Erina wanted because she couldn't climb a tree? Then what is this?!

"Darling, why daydream, hum? come on, I'll pick mangoes for you guys." Bisma said as she gently pulled Erina's hand towards the back garden. You are what Bisma means is Erina and their child-to-be.

Upon arrival in the garden behind the mansion, Erina was surprised by the Bhishma who could climb a mango tree, even Bhishma to pick some mangoes for her. He said for the stock maybe Erina wants more mangoes.

But, Erina felt something strange after Bhishma came down from the mango tree, Bhishma's body seemed to tremble somehow. Erina held Bhishma's hand and was about to ask what happened, but someone's voice held her back.

"Bisma, are you okay? why didn't you tell me your wife wanted mango? aren't you still traumatized to ride a tree?" mr. Asep, the old man who was once the Bhishma's personal driver approached them.

"There is trauma in riding a tree? come on, please don't make my wife misunderstand. Look at my wife's face, she seems to worry about me a lot." Bisma said while holding both Erina cheeks and deliberately playing it.

In fact, Bhishma never climbed a tree again after an incident in the past. When she was a child, she was chased by dogs to climb a tall tree, and at that time she did not know how to get down from the tree.

Bisma felt that the incident was a disgrace. It would sound ridiculous if others knew. Bhishma climbed the tree on her own initiative, but afterwards wept and blamed others who knew nothing.

"Darling, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Speak Bisma interval of a few seconds.

"Well, you're fine, just your body shaking a little, right?" Sahut Erina's.

After that there was the sound of their laughter, or maybe only Bhishma and Asep's father laughed. Erina only smiled faintly after teasing her husband. Erina and Bhishma's family were already completely harmonious and happy.
