Dea let her meeting change schedule so she could get to the hospital early. All these things were intended Dea for only one thing, that her husband who from morning was cold, would soften a little. Another addition that Dea worked on was countless apologies.
“Lagian,” Dea said after her apology did not get a response at all. “You're stressing me out yourself, Ben. You ... After making me comfortable, you just want to talk that makes me so .. uncomfortable. I don't know who to say who to do our wedding with, while my head really feels full. I want to try to rest myself by forgetting briefly our problem, so .. I run to drink. I also accidentally forgot, if I was pregnant again.” Dea further downplayed her voice at the end of the sentence.
However, Ben who was walking beside him did not turn his head at all. His gaze was straight ahead, on the passageway they were going through towards the examination hall.
Dea finally chose to give up. She followed where her husband was walking. He also chooses silence, as Ben only signals in some of their activities: such as pulling Dea's hand to sit while waiting in line, inviting in with the same pull, and then pulling, then the two of them entered the examination room without talking to each other.
In fact, Ben only wants to listen and reply to the words of the doctor who examined the condition of Dea rather than caring about his own wife.
It instantly increased the annoyed expression on Dea's face. He folded his hands in front of his chest, looking the other way.
“Overall, the condition of your baby and wife is fine. But not necessarily luck is still on your side, if this happens again. So please, keep an eye on your wife so as not to drink hard anymore,” explained the doctor as the conclusion of the consultation today. “Pak Ben should also give more attention and care to your wife, because the feelings of a mother are very influential on her fetus. Especially when pregnant conditions, the level of sensitivity of pregnant women increases, can aggravate the chances of pregnant women doing bad things.”
Dea silently smiled hearing him. It was like being supported by fate to not stay away from the husband. Dea quietly rubbed gently on her flat stomach, as a form of thanks to the baby.
“Good, Doc,” said Ben later. “Thank you. We say goodbye then.”
Ben stood up and shook hands with the doctor. He stayed on the spot after doing so, as a gesture of waiting for the wife to say goodbye to the doctor. In fact, Ben still remained silent without making a sound if it was talking to Dea.
After saying goodbye, Ben even gave a gesture to allow Dea to walk first. While he's behind. Still without a sound, or a friendly expression. It wasn't five minutes, and Ben had reneged on his promise to the doctor to take care of his wife.
He went back to being cold.
Dea was about to reply in a similar manner, but in the end, the woman was fed up with the atmosphere between them. He gave up, and excited when he got in the car.
“It would be nice if I was begging to apologize for paying the same attention to you, Ben? You make me a cheap girl, so?” dea said, explosively. “From this morning, I've sacrificed a lot of things just to be able to apologize from you, Ben. I stayed in important work I just made this examination, and I .. do not count how many times I apologize to you. Is it still not enough? You want me to kneel down while apologizing in front of your feet?”
“Who asked you to apologize?”
Dea immediately close her lips after listening to Ben's reply. He was able to lick his own dry lips, in order to launch the next speech.
“Because I was self-conscious it was my fault,” Dea replied still in a high tone, inversely proportional to the calmness of Ben's speech just now. “No longer like you, who are completely unaware of yourself as your fault is.”
Ben remained straight on the street as Dea glanced at him straight, while the woman gave a pause to wait for the next response from her husband.
“But I don't need at all.”
Dea took a short breath, then exhaled it violently. His anger was provoked perfectly, so he clenched his hands on his lap to the maximum.
“I don't want our relationship to be cold like this! This is my effort, so that .. Our marriage is not destroyed just because of this problem. I even ... behave like I do not have self-esteem in front of people who can not appreciate me, just so ... This marriage can last forever.”
Ben did not chim in, but he gulped the saliva roughly. Feeling a pain in the throat that he was trying to hide.
“You are young, marriage-free how many times after my same marriage. While me? You were forced to marry me just as I wanted to. So, I don't want .. This marriage is ruined so aja.” Dea thins the lips when the heat starts to radiate into his eyes. “You yourself are not cheating either, meaning you have no love out there. Your possessive attitude is the same as me forbidding Mas Dion, showing that you still value the bond between us. So .. I want to try, Ben. I want to stay, by canceling our pre-wedding contract, Ben. You ... don't want to help me also maintain our marriage?”
Dea waited for an answer with a hopeful look. His eyes barely blinked as he watched every expression shown by Ben. She eventually discovered that among the cold nosebleeds her husband showed, there were a few seconds interspersing with restless expressions.
Dea hopes that Ben's conscience will be called. So little, Ben gave hope to him.
However ....
Ciiiittt ....
The car suddenly braked, causing the bodies of the two to be pushed forward. Dea who forgot to wear a seatbelt pushed forward. Ben who was still able to survive, spontaneously held his wife's chest and forehead so as not to bump into the dashboard violently.
Successfully, although his fingers had to endure pain due to the impact between the dashboard and his wife's head. But that doesn't concern Ben at all. His face clearly showed signs of dismay, until Dea glanced at him with a mocking smile. Ben immediately put on an angry look.
“You should apologize for making a mistake: drinking in pregnancy. Now, you are also careless not to wear a seat belt. You really want to kill that kid what, De?”
Dea instantly turned her face the other way for a few seconds, fed up with Ben's false attitude. She faces her husband again after Ben pulls her seatbelt for her.
Dea folded her lips inward, holding her smile fully inflated at the sweet gesture her husband showed. However, Ben immediately looked up, glancing at Dea. He sounded the clicking sound of the seat belt, but did not immediately leave his leaning position to the wife.
“No,” replied Ben coldly. “I don't want to survive at all at this wedding.”
