Don't Say Love (BOOK 2)
Chapter 41

Arnetta looked around him who looked familiar after months he collapsed to this place. Gathering with all the women who also experienced the same condition with him made it seem strange to wait alone here. Some even come with conditions unlike her. What distinguishes her and everyone here is, Arnetta is pregnant with her husband. So said.

The woman was always considered a lucky wife because there was a man standing beside her when she always came to see her fetus. Yeah, well, it was Patrick from the beginning who came with him. He was also a doctor at this hospital. Before the man finally switched tasks, Patrick was pretty much known here. Even some were amazed after seeing the figure of the doctor they admired already holding a pregnant woman beside him. Surprisingly, the man did not even hesitate to introduce that he was the wife of the man.

Sometimes Arnetta was eager to refute the supposition of all those who thought she was the man's wife. There are times when he knows himself enough if he is not good enough to be with the man. It would only be a barrier wall for the man to find a suitable partner with him. Arnetta was quite aware that Patrick was too good for him.

The man who is now sitting next to her while reading a magazine about pregnancy remains in his mind. He deliberately let everyone know that now he is a prospective father who is waiting for the child to be born.

"If you feel indebted to me, then let everyone know that the child is my son. That way your debt will be paid off."

Yes, more or less like the words he always heard every time he raised a protest over the assumption of people that they were a couple. Honestly, Arnetta doesn't want to get carried away. For him Patrick's kindness housed him in the man's house was more than enough.

He looked at the man who had been in his mind since, who looked engrossed in the reading of the magazine in his hand. His style that impressed graceful it made Arnetta had thought it could be Patrick like the same sex. However, the thought was that he was still far away considering he had never seen any suspicious movements from the man.

Patrick, if he hadn't met her that night, it's possible that Arnetta would have had a bad luck on the streets. Maybe it ends up being a bum or a beggar. Whatever it was, he was always grateful for everything that had happened to him to this day. It's just that he feels on the other side has taken advantage of Patrick. The man's kindness made him feel burdened.

Thinking about it makes his head heavy, Arnetta said in his heart. He has repeatedly wanted to argue but Patrick seems to enjoy his role as a fake father for his son. Yes, if only the man was indeed the father of the baby of course Arnetta did not need trouble in the period of pregnancy. Sometimes he wants to turn around the time when he does not meet the bad guys. Remembering their faces one by one already made him nauseous.

That day without a second thought, when Lusi and his mother kicked him out of the Jullian house without thinking twice Arnetta immediately agreed. He did not have to think again to get out of that hell house. The building will continue to be the center of her trauma even though Jullian's attitude has changed since her pregnancy was discovered.

And Arif, somehow the boy's fate is now. The only thing he missed was the boy. His hands immediately touched the surface of his enlarged stomach. Inside there was the boy's sister. Arif will have a younger brother, his son with Jullian. Surely the adorable child will call enthusiastic about the birth of his child. A funny reaction was already drawn in his mind until it had involuntarily invited a wide smile on his lips.

The expression did not escape the view of the figure of the man who thought the woman was still fun to enjoy her reading. But since then, Patrick can see the change in expression through the tail of his eyes. Reva who sometimes frowns and sometimes smiles while stroking her bulging stomach. The wide smile that rose from the lips of the woman made her want to not want to smile too. How much he liked the smile that was on Reva's face. It felt like his chest felt airy when he saw the woman smiling. Especially since his presence, for several months he was always rewarded with a smile that he routinely got when he woke up and before going to bed. Not infrequently the smile is also the one who became a cure for his fatigue.

"You're getting prettier when you're smiling like that."

Unknowingly the man immediately voiced his thoughts. Yes, in her eyes the woman was very beautiful when she smiled. And both of them can only be silent looking at each other afterwards. There was no sound as if void space was surrounding the two.

"You guys are really romantic." Said one of the pregnant women patients who sat facing the two.

Arnetta and Patrick immediately turned their eyes in the other direction with an awkward feeling. If Patrick feels awkward with an overwhelming sense of debate in his heart, another with Arnetta who seems to be slapped by reality. He cannot take that word lightly. It was not that he was overconfident, but he caught there was a tinge of interest from the sentence.

Arnetta was happy if anyone praised her as beautiful. Who is not happy if praised by others. But, if it was Patrick who said it then it has a different meaning. The man should not be attracted to him. It was very ignorant of himself if he still intended to tease the man. Patrick is too perfect for him who is already despicable.

Patrick deserves the love and partner of a woman he deserves. Beautiful and equal, that's how it should be. If Patrick falls in love with her, then Arnetta must distance himself as far as possible. At least he should know where he stands now.

"Mrs Reva !"

The voice of the call is heard, then that's when it's Arnetta's turn to meet the baby again and of course Patrick will faithfully follow behind him. Their departure was accompanied by the praise of patients who saw them as a harmonious married couple, despite the fact that they were all fake.

Not far from the place where Arnetta and Patrick were, the figure of a man who accidentally passed in the hospital's office frowned when he saw a familiar sight for him. The man who was originally going to head back to his office immediately stopped as soon as he saw someone he knew. He narrowed his eyes to confirm once again the person he knew before finally speaking his name, the name of the man who was his cousin.

"Patrick ?"
