Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 21

In the many leaves that fell on her face, the woman realized that when her eyes were open she was being pulled under a shady tree. The wind greeted his face as he began to awaken his body. A cool and soothing place, as if it had long since felt a feeling this calm.

The woman did not know where she was at the moment. He only saw the grass as far as his eyes could see and the bright blue sky that spoiled him. Seeing that scene made the woman smile. For a long time he was not afraid, not even to breathe. He forgot the pain in his heart. Deep down, he did not want to wake up if all this was a dream.

"You awake?"

The woman's hearing was tingled. From the question it actually implies the simplicity of a person asking his circumstances. However, another case if the question is heard from the funny voice of a little boy sitting next to him.

A beautiful girl with big round eyes and two-pointed hair. Her long white dress made the woman unable to see how tall this child was. Yes, he was sure that the cute creature beside him was a child.

"Yes, I'm awake. You're who?"

The girl did not answer. His big eyes remained staring at the mature woman in front of him within his residence.

"What's your name?"

This time the boy responded with a soft slit. Her lips curled sweetly to make the woman giggle amused.

"Dad hasn't given me a name. Dad said I can't be born."

The woman's smile just vanished. His breathing seemed forced as the boy uttered a sentence that made his heart work stop. This kid is unwanted, just like he used to be. He felt his heart pinch upon hearing this child's confession. He knows it feels unwanted.

"Your father said that to you?"

However, the boy shook his head back. It made the woman breathe a little.

"Dad told mom that I didn't want to have a child from my mom's womb."

Suddenly the woman's eyes felt so spicy that she felt tears escape without being able to be held back by her. The words managed to stab right in his heart. It hurt, until he wished he had forgotten to listen to the words of the child.

"Lantas, where's your mother?"

"Not knowing." Answer directly. The little boy looked at the woman in front of him with a serious look that should look funny again in his eyes. But, the woman kept crying looking at the state of the child.

"Do you want to be my mother?"

For God's sake, that woman won't waste this opportunity twice. He wants a child and this child will be his. It was a relief to know that he was no longer alone in this world. But, what if this boy knew that he was just a prostitute for a man who was still his brother-in-law?

"Do you want to have a dirty mother like me?"

The boy did not understand it. In fact, the cute little girl immediately hugged the adult woman she wanted to make a mother.

"I can smell your scent. You smell good, you can't get dirty."

The woman was crying more and more. He returned the little girl's embrace and held her tightly. A sense of warmth radiated to his body along with affection. He prayed to God, no matter how much he sinned, he only asked that someone be able to love him unconditionally like this child. She loved him so much, even though he had not met for a long time.

"How long will he be awake?"

The young man in front of him only massaged his temples tight. I don't know how many times the man asked me the same question. For hours the man held him back home to accompany his wife only to wait for the sleeping woman to wake up. The man sitting on the bedside, where the woman was unconscious, refused to move. It had been two days that the man had spent his time accompanying the woman.

"You realize what time it is? How am I supposed to catch up to the target of having children if you keep me here all night?"

Jullian with his sharp eyes turned around and noticed the man named Rian sitting with one leg raised above his thigh. Other than Rian, he no longer knew who to ask for help. Only Rian had ever trusted to be his personal physician. His best friend was impossible and it was rare to have evil plans for him.

"Only to you do I ask for help, Rian. There's no one I can trust in this world." Gamang.

Two days ago, Arnetta refused to open her eyes. It was as if what was happening in his dream realm was happier than waking up and living with it. He always told Arif that Arnetta only experienced fatigue due to conceiving his sister-to-be. Luckily, the happiness of the boy who will soon become a big brother is able to cover up his curiosity.

"Including that woman?"

Jullian could not take his eyes off the woman who was still loyal to close her eyes. He did not understand why Arnetta still refused to open his eyes. Rian said that the woman's condition was fine. However, his unconscious condition made Arnetta have to be infused so that the woman still get food intake.

"Why didn't he wake up? You said his condition and our son-in-law were fine." He said it was almost like mumbling.

Rian patted both of his thighs and got up to approach Jullian. He knew the man's concerns, but there was a condition in which a patient did not wake up because of the trauma he had experienced.

"He had a terrible psychic trauma. Arnetta ordered his subconscious to stay asleep. He's nothing more than an undead." Evidently.

Jullian squeezed his own hands. He knows what trauma is and who should be responsible for it. Since learning that there was a potential child growing up in the woman's womb, Jullian began to pray to God if He could take Jullian at any time as long as Arnetta could return to her normal state. However, Arnetta's declining condition lets her know God doesn't just let her go. At least Jullian had to feel the pain of seeing the woman he loved lying helplessly.

The shrill voice caused Jullian's attention to be immediately distracted. The man immediately brought his body closer to Arnetta who had already pierced his eyes. Slowly but surely, the two eyes that Jullian had been waiting for finally opened. The pair of black diamonds instantly circulated its gaze in all directions, before finally falling onto the figure of the man who was nearby.

There was no expression of surprise or fear as Jullian had seen before the woman was unconscious. Arnetta just put on a flat face as if nothing had ever happened to him. The woman's lips also remained silent.

"W-You're sober?"

Honestly Jullian was nervous at how flat the woman's expression was. He felt awkward for the first time. At least if Arnetta yells or goes berserk it feels better than to inhabit him like this.

"Why are you asking? You want to know as hell."

For God's sake, anyone who heard it would be shocked to learn that the sentence came from a person who had just regained consciousness after days of falling asleep. Rian immediately put his face wide at the reaction given by the woman named Arnetta to his best friend.

"Neeta..."

"Surge! I hate to see your face." His meaning was slow before finally throwing his face away and leaving silence on Jullian who was glued to his place.
