Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 36
A woman looked at herself in front of the mirror. The mirror image reflected towards her displayed a small female figure, but with her stomach that seemed to have grown. Yes, the woman is pregnant. By the second trimester the woman had already undergone many changes in her body and hormones. The most important thing is the life cycle.
Who could have thought if the heavy life he had once lived changed so drastically once he found a 'home' to go home. A foreign man had already managed to change his life in such a way that there was a beam of life spirit light within him. At first he thought the light would never come. There will never be another spirit in his life. However, slowly God seemed to be showing that there must be light after darkness.
For a few months he was perfect. It felt like the dream for a quiet life he had obtained. If her mother were still here, perhaps they would have welcomed her pregnancy with great joy. Although the presence of this child he never expected, but the woman never hated him.
"Are you ready for Reva ?"
A man asked from behind the audible wooden door. Before long the sound of a creaking wooden door was opened and showed the head of a man who had been a perfect father and husband figure, he was just a fake husband.
The woman called Reva turned her body around and looked at Patrick, the figure of the man who had helped her a lot. During her pregnancy to this day has entered the age of six months, Patrick is always by her side. Accompany him when he experienced a great hormonal turmoil. Not only that, the man was willing to meet the phase of his cravings that almost made no sense.
"Looks like you're so excited today." Cibir Reva who looks amused to see Patrick who has returned this afternoon from the hospital.
His work as a psychiatric doctor at nearly four hospitals left the man barely able to take his time to go home under 12 p.m. But if it's dealing with Reva's pregnancy control schedule, it's like Patrick has a thousand ways to disappear from his hectic routine. It's impossible to see Patrick coming home so soon.
Patrick chuckles amusedly. Just like how she felt, she felt strange about herself. He was so excited at each of their monthly control schedules. Almost every time if it was dealing with Reva, he would try his best to take the time to empty himself.
"I should be the first to see the sex of the little one."
Reva and Patrick agree to call the fetus in his birth as the little one. At least until they both know the sex of the baby. And today is the time when they can find out the sex of the baby. And the man was the most enthusiastic figure from the first time they checked his contents.
Arnetta recalled the first time the man had accompanied her to check her content, all the mothers who had been waiting in line in the waiting room with her thought Patrick was her husband. In fact, not infrequently Arnetta heard a whisper that said Patrick is a dream husband who never absent accompanied him to the obstetrician. It was not to make Patrick feel uncomfortable, but the man even agreed to all the accusations that led him to be the father of the baby.
Initially Arnetta intended to set the record straight by saying that Patrick was only his kinsman. Honestly, he could not bear to see Patrick who is single must be stamped as a prospective father. There could have been another woman that the man liked and her presence could have been a hindrance. However, again Patrick did not want to brush it off. The man even more shows that he is the real husband and father. Truly, Arnetta was getting more and more unwell with all the kindness he received.
Every time Arnetta tried to straighten out and complain about his feelings, the man simply said,
"It doesn't matter if they consider me your husband and the father of the baby you bear. I'm glad I did. After all, later the boy must call me father as a form of my love for him."
"Who goes to see our little one ?" Patrick asked as he extended his hand to Reva.
She smiled gently at the large hand that always gave her warmth and a place to go home. If only that night he hadn't met Patrick, maybe his destiny wouldn't have been this beautiful. Having someone who is willing to accept his condition as it is is something he is very grateful for.
"Come on!" sahut Arnetta while returning the hand. The thing that had been out since when no longer had any awkward feelings between them. In fact, Arnetta was able to feel the comfort that he had long since felt.
The comfort of a man who seemed able to protect her and give her warmth with a pair of big hands.
**
A man was standing behind the door of a large room when someone who had long asked permission to enter approached him. The large back looked sturdy and cold to anyone who saw it firsthand. There was no warm welcome for anyone who faced the figure.
From the beginning, the man was famous for being cold-hearted. But it's been getting less and less since a few months ago. No one is aware of the change other than the people around him. The changes that are increasingly leading in a bad direction are increasingly becoming every day when all the people he gave the task never bring the results he wanted. Today he hopes that the results he wants can be heard as soon as possible. It had been a long time since he had been waiting for the results of the report from the monitoring of the long-gone figure to come.
"Excuse me sir, we've found a bright spot. One month ago, a supermarket cashier accidentally saw this woman shopping. The cashier explained that the woman he saw was the same as the photo we gave him and that she was pregnant" she explained.
The man who had since turned his back on his man immediately turned his body around. The proud-faced Jullian's figure began to melt the ice in his heart. In the end he could hear news about the woman he had been looking for. In his heart he was grateful if the woman and also their baby were okay. If the supermarket cashier sees her in a condition that is pregnant, it means that the woman and their child are fine.
"Where are they now ?"
Without needing to clarify who "They" were intended by his superiors, the man who had worked as a detective for a month immediately ascertained the position of the person he was looking for.
"There was in the Menteng area and the cashier also explained that the woman was not alone. There was a man accompanying her. The cashier was convinced that the man was her husband.
"WHAT?!"
