A Little Hope For Ashma
36. Fading confidence

Ashma stared blankly at the street beside him, the decision to leave the Adam Mansion at night turned out to even cause frightening events for him.

Is this a rebuke for Ashma to be more patient in the face of their household heresy, but Ashma committed her desperate act of escape because she was afraid that Adam would actually take custody of her baby.

Adam glanced at Ashma, he breathed a sigh of relief because his wife was fine. After this incident he would tighten security again in the Mansion, nor would Adam ever neglect to let go of his sight to leave Ashma again.

"This woman is really reckless!" inner Adam. Along the way Adam did not want to disturb Ashma who was contemplating, let him calm himself for some time.

Jhon follows Adam from behind after successfully arresting and handing over the perverted taxi driver who almost committed immoral acts to his Miss to the authorities.

Honestly, Jhon was so worried to hear Ashma go secretly from Adam's Mansion, the woman must have been depressed because of her husband's very selfish attitude that she decided to run away.

Jhon did not like to see Ashma treated unkindly by Adam, the man was very wishy-washy. A wife as good as Ashma does not deserve such treatment from a man like her.

Secretly interested in the Miss of his master, Jhon always pay attention to the small things of Ashma, when the woman came to the park as her favorite place. The attraction of Ashma is able to make Jhon want to get to know his figure even further.

Back to the couple of two children Adam who still muffled the sound all the way home.steal the look of each other but do not want to open the voice.

Ashma who could not stand the silence finally decided to open the conversation first.

"Thank you for your help" Ashma said awkwardly.

Adam glanced for a moment while clucking in annoyance, "Are you intending to run away again after this?" Adam asked as if to insinuate Ashma.

"Of course!" ashma toilet fast. Adam grumbled at his wife's answer.

"Based on a stone head!"

Ashma had no intention of answering like that but hearing Adam's reaction, she felt no guilt just that Ashma was still traumatized by tonight's incident.

After a long journey they finally reached the Mansion. Adam immediately helps Ashma to get out of the car.

Ashma held onto her stomach which was a little sore, seeing that Adam immediately carried Ashma into her sling. "Did it hurt?" adam asked worriedly, Ashma nodded lightly. "Hm" murmured Ashma. Adam took Ashma inside.

Adam carefully placed Ashma's body on the bed. Adam's big hand touched Ashma's stomach and rubbed her gently.

"I'm gonna call the doctor" Ashma grabbed Adam's wrist.

"No, this is just a regular cramp later also subsided!"

"Really?" ask Adam to make sure.

Ashma nodded small. In the end Ashma has not been able to get out of this place, Adam can always reach his existence wherever Ashma is. He had almost forgotten that Adam was not an indiscriminate man who could easily be tricked by ordinary tricks.

Ashma sighing heavily that was heard by Adam made the man look at Ashma with a drawn look.

"What's? Why are you looking at me like that?!" Ashma did not like Adam staring at her like he wanted to skin her.

Adam again showed a cold face, he combed his hair with his fingers. "Rest!" the voice went along with the steps that went into the bathroom.

Ashma thought Adam would be angry and scolded him for his reckless departure that made the man frustrated and also regretted hurting his heart.

Ashma immediately shook her head softly, "impossible!" That belief Ashma held so as not to fall again in Adam's ruse.

...•••...

Ashma looked at herself in the mirror, looking at her memory last night as Ashma tried to drive Adam out of the room, she still couldn't sleep if the man was with her so much that it irritated her and spewed out words full of suspense.

But Ashma caught one of Adam's words that still ring in his head, it was dangerous and so poisonous that Ashma didn't want to believe it.

"I won't let go of my eyes to turn away from you again."

The words came out of his mouth with a very serious and reassuring face. Ashma was worried but he quickly dismissed Adam's words like the wind.

Ashma took a deep breath, she decided to immediately go downstairs to prepare breakfast.

"Ah Pregnant mother," said Lily welcomed Ashma's arrival enthusiastically.

"It looks like I'm late coming downstairs, sorry so can't help you guys,"

Lily immediately shook her head, "Slowly what is Ashma? You're a nurse, not a waiter here! We had enough to make breakfast this morning" Lily said, Ashma forgot one thing that she had to keep her identity a secret from Lily for a while.

"It's not okay because every morning I always help aunt Marianee," said Ashma, Lily's little beard and then bring Ashma to sit on a chair.

"Pregnant mothers should not move much, sit down first,"

Ashma was stunned to find the attention of Lily, the woman was indeed very kind and sincerely deserved Adam so love Lily, she was also the only daughter of Marianee's aunt so no longer ignored her upbringing.

"I don't feel good Lily, you guys are busy preparing breakfast while I'm just relaxing" Ashma said. Lily still did not allow Ashma to help them, the interaction was seen by Adam who was walking towards the dining table.

Ashma noticed the presence of someone she turned her head quickly and found Adam lying on his butt to sit on the bench next to Ashma.

"Good morning to his wife Mas" said Adam whispering greeting Ashma not usually even using the frills of temptation that make Ashma hissing.

Ashma did not answer, he did not want to serve Adam because he did not want to get disappointed again.

Adam only smiled faintly at Ashma's cold response. Not long after that Lily and Aunt Marianee sat down opposite them.

Lily looked at Adam with a drawn gaze, it seemed like something was wrong with the man.

"When do you want to have breakfast at home?" ask Lily did not believe the article of the man had never wanted to eat breakfast at home with the reason of not wanting to be late to school and when he was working he was still doing the same habit then therefore aunt Marianee always makes provisions for Adam.

Adam drew his glance at Lily for a moment, "It's been a long time so now it's different!" obviously Adam while glancing at Ashma for a moment. Adam also just realized, but he was very reluctant to eat breakfast at home but since he married Ashma the man did not want to lose his time to devour the dishes that were always served by Ashma, maybe it was just a form of appreciating his wife's hard work and no other intent.

Lily still feels in disbelief because the man is never easy to change something without a reason and evidence that is really clear. But humans can change and Lily doesn't watch because she doesn't know what happened to Adam the last year. Lily decided not to ask any more, just later when they had finished breakfast.

Ashma just kept quiet to hear their short conversation, he was also not too uncomfortable because Ashma felt like Lily was thinking Adam was just an older brother, but it is still possible and Ashma cannot guess any further.

Ashma refocused on her breakfast a few moments later, intending to pick up a glass filled with milk, but Adam stopped it immediately.

Ashma immediately stared at Sensi, "why did you take my glass?"

Adam did not answer, but asked Aunt Marianee.

"What milk is this?"

"it's milk-" Aunt Marianee stopped her speech as she realized something.

"Astaghfirullah, it's not pregnant women's milk, sorry Mama forgot. Fortunately you are sensitive!"

Adam immediately moved from his seat, he immediately headed to the kitchen to make Ashma milk for pregnant women.

Lily noticed their interaction, a little strange to see Adam pay attention to Ashma when he was very cold and always dumped the women around him who valued him. Seeing Adam's little concern for the other woman doesn't make Lily careless because she actually never loved Adam, she just thinks of him as an older brother, nothing more than that.

"Ashma can I ask you a question?" lily asked for permission, Ashma immediately nodded.

"You're working here pregnant and where's your husband?" lily's sensitive question made Ashma flinch. Adam listened and waited for Ashma's response, believing Ashma was unlikely to tell the truth.

"My husband, I'll be parting ways with him soon so we don't live together anymore." Ashma replied with a faint smile while Adam was stirring the milk, his blood boiling violently. He was very unhappy with Ashma's reply.

Aunt Marianee was surprised but did not show the look of her sad face, she was sure that her son and daughter-in-law were fighting again.
