A Couple of Ex
117. Awaiting Birth.

Awaiting Birth.

This morning, although her body was very heavy to move, Stella chose to be in the yard beside enjoying the morning sun, and the breeze, she was sitting relaxed by the pool, sitting by the pool, waiting for Alex who has been swimming since, if this is a holiday, the twins must have joined Alex in the pool, considering they still have to go to school so Alex swims alone.

It is true that a relaxed day, before marriage, at this hour he must visit his patients, he said, and these few days she really enjoyed her role as a spoiled wife who did not want to be away from her husband, until Alex moved some of her work home, he was grateful that Alex didn't mind doing it.

Finally Alex finished his activities, immediately after drying his body, Alex approached Stella.

"Reverse, I want to see your back."

Although astonished by his wife's request, Alex still turned around, Stella felt the scar of a sharp object that seven years ago he repaired in the operating room, the wound as deep as three centi, now healed well, he said, and left only a slash on Alex's back.

Stella rubbed the wound, she was happy that there were no keloids there at all, "thankfully this wound healed well, not even keloids at all.”

"Where did you know there was this wound on my back?" Alex asked in surprise, but a moment later, his questions were instantly connected to the various series of events that occurred between them. 

Stella just stared innocently at her husband's face, a face that now holds many questions for her.

"Do you know the answer?" Ask her.

Alex nodded, his face looking grim, "Why didn't that day meet me?" Alex asked with glassy eyes, after seven years you still can't get rid of your anger on me?" 

Stella wiped the tears from Alex's cheek. "The answer is the same, I think my brother is married, and I'm too afraid to face Richard's threat." 

"Did Dimas not say what to you?" 

"Dimas wants to say it, but I forbid, I'm afraid my heart will be weak." Stella lowered her head, recalling the moment it turned out to be able to make her want to cry again sad.

Although Alex was very curious why, but saw Stella lowered her head in tears, making Alex stop continuing his question.

“Forget me ever asked this,” Alex raised Stella's chin that was still down, soon he regretted making his wife back crying, “take it was a nightmare,” Alex wiped Stella's tears, Stella's, “while this time alone, I am already happy with you and our children, even soon this little one will enliven our lives.”

Stella nodded quickly, then wiped her tears herself.

“Wait here for a while, there's something I want to show you,” alex snatched his bathrobe, then went towards his study, he exhaled slowly, he breathed, when remembering the contents of the document he was holding, this document was what made him late to come home last night.

then he went back to where his wife was.

Stella furrowed both of her eyebrows, while receiving the document.

"What is this sister?”

“Open, you will understand what it is.”

Stella also opened the brown envelope, the net was patterned where the cla stared at the contents of the brown envelope.

“Sorry, last night I went to a lawyer, and discussed the contents of this document, and now I am waiting for your decision, whatever you say I will do, but if you do not agree, I'll just send my confidant to ensure the girl's safety.”

Stella's hand trembled to receive the letter, completely unconvinced by what she now saw and she read, there was no anger or resentment behind the blue eyes, what was there was a feeling of pity, her maternal instinct called out, wanting to tightly hug the little girl.

“When did he die?” 

“According to his lawyer, he died two weeks ago.”

Stella was silent, well I understood, do my best, I want this child to be okay in the orphanage, and not lacking anything,” Stella wiped her tears.

Poor little girl, at this young age she had already lost both her parents. “Alright, in the meantime I I just have Andy watching him, and ensure his safety, tomorrow I will ask Dimas to see the orphanage.”

International Schools.

The twins' graduation day.

This morning was not as usual, Stella could rise up and fight her nausea, maybe because today she was happy, because today is the day of the release of the twins from Junior High School.

Even an hour before the event began, Stella was already on the scene, of course the goal was to invite Alex to reminisce, before the event began.

The newlyweds were smilingly staring at the school fence where they had first met and met. 

“Why laugh?” alex asked Stella, who suddenly laughed, looking at the school.

“Funny, considering how we got acquainted for the first time.” Stella rubbed her husband's stomach, “what hurts once?” ask her.

“Of course it hurts, so it's natural that you won the gold medal back then.” Alex grumbled.

“Sorry ..” Again Stella said sorry, then again laughed amusedly, alex deliberately let Stella so that she also contracted a happy aura that emanated from the smile of the wife.

Since that day, you've said it dozens of times.”

They walk into the school gate, getting inside makes Stella more tightly hug Alex's arm, considering how they once carved out many happy memories in this place. 

Several teachers who happened to be familiar, seemed to give greetings, including Fira who was busy preparing for the third-level student release day.

And finally here they are, and with the other parents, Alex and Stella occupy the seats that are specially prepared for the parents, because they come first, and they come first, so they got a seat in the front row, both waving when their son's name was mentioned to formalize his second graduation.

Stella wiped a speck of tears from the corner of her eyes. “are they not extraordinary?” stella whispered in Alex's ear.

“Of course, they are amazing, because they have mommy who is also amazing.”

the two looked at each other happily. 

“I want to Singapore.” Suddenly Stella remembered, she had not even said goodbye to Bella's parents.

“For?”

“I want to introduce sister to parents Belinda.”

“Ah .. Belinda, what is that girl that children often talk about?” 

“Iya, Bella's parents are very good to Andre, they even take Andre on vacation, when I do not have time to accompany him on school holidays.”

“Ooooo ... alright, I'll find the right time,”
