A Little Hope For Ashma
46. Gotta miss again

"Park handsome!" Shouted Gelya greeting Adam from a distance, he smiled slightly at the arrival of his wife and little friend. Yesterday the girl was still shy but as fast as lightning she easily adapted to Ashma.

They brought one medium basket with peaches in it, Adam just remembered the fruit was in the middle of the harvest.

Seen from Ashma's forehead, the woman looks happier than before as little Gelya is really a mood booster for Ashma.

They arrived at the terrace, Ashma immediately sat on a chair while Gelya with agility gave a basket of peaches to Adam.

"Beaut handsome take it, try to feel it!" he offered Adam. Adam smiled slightly, "Alright little girl!" Adam took one peach, he bit it slowly. When the sweet taste mixed sour it into his mouth, Adam slightly grimaced but it also felt very fresh in the hot sun that made his throat feel dry.

Ashma notices their interactions, like a happy little family. It reminded her of their growing baby in her stomach.

She looked at him with sadness but she was also happy. Though it will all be over, Ashma will enjoy her time with Adam.

"Gelya dear Aunty go inside first huh, you want to come along?" ask Ashma maybe Gelya wants to come inside.

Gelya shook his head little, "no Aunty, Gelya wants to be here with his handsome Uncle eating peaches."

Ashma smiled slightly, "alright baby. Mas, I went in first to perform Dzuhur prayer, you already?"

Adam nodded softly, "already, yes come in."

Ashma is a little exhausted today probably because of her growing pregnancy, but she is also happy because with Gelya she finds a new life more enjoyable.

Ashma immediately rushed into the bathroom cubicle in her room to fetch water.

When the water washed his face it felt so fresh, tired and sleepy it disappeared somewhere. After that Ashma immediately carried out the four obligatory rakaats with full khusyu.

After performing the prayer, Ashma went back to the terrace. There he saw the heartwarming scene, as Adam carried the sleeping Gelya on his lap.

"Mas, is Gelya sleeping?"

Adam who was about to go inside while holding Gelya gave a small nod.

"I want to lay this little girl inside" he said as Gelya's mother squirmed.

"Lay in our room, Mas" he said, rubbing Gelya's coconut gently. Adam agreed, he took his steps to put Gelya to bed on their bed.

Carefully Adam laid down his little body, his sleep looked like a spoiled panda on the mother to the point that Adam would not want to lie next to her because Gelya kept clutching her collar.

"Ashma lay next to him, too" said Adam, asking his wife to lie down, exhausted from playing with little Gelya.

Ashma lying next to Gelya, she looked at the sleeping little girl with her little smile. Gelya must be tired of playing almost all day.

They look like a happy family, a father, a mother and a child.

"Ashma," call Adam.

"Hmm?"

"Tonight I will go to the Mansion, is it okay for me to leave?" he said asking permission, Adam felt hard to leave Ashma with Jhon, although he had given trust to him still Adam was not calm.

Ashma let out a long sigh, in fact she did not want to be left behind Adam like the man was going to be gone for a long time.

"Are you going away for a long time? Like when I was at your Mansion?"

Adam catches a worried tone from his wife, she gets heavier leaving Ashma.

"No, I'll just check on Lily and Aunt Marianee."

Ashma could not say anything more if the man intended to see Lily and her mother-in-law in the Mansion.

"If it's like that, please Mas."

Adam heard Ashma's unwilling tone of voice, as if he didn't want to be left behind.

"Tomorrow I'll be home soon, you don't worry." He said he intended to calm down. Ashma did not open her voice anymore, she chose to close her eyes.

...•••...

The night was soon welcomed. Ashma had noticed that Gelya was eating, the girl slept for a long time, probably because of the soy sauce, so Ashma asked him to stay overnight and accompany her. Ashma had also asked Mrs Tanya for permission, she gave her permission.

"This county is so delicious!" He said with a radiant face.

"really? Then Aunty will often masakin for Gelya huh?"

Gelya immediately nodded, the little girl looked very fond of the dishes made by Ashma.

From behind Ashma's back, Adam walked towards them towards the place to eat.

"Yes Mas?"

"I want to go now. Tomorrow I'll be back soon so you take care of me you're fine, take care of our son and little Gelya." He said while glancing at Gelya who was eating greedily.

"Good Mas!" Ashma went to stand up, she grabbed the back of her husband's hand to greet.

Adam grabbed both shoulders, he smiled slightly and then switched to catching Ashma's cheeks that were getting fuller.

CUPS...

Adam smelled Ashma's forehead for so long, I don't know for sure he'd miss his wife's scent tonight for not being able to sleep with her.

They put their two eyebrows together, but Ashma who was hunted realized there was Gelya immediately distanced the chest of Adam's field from him, fortunately when he turned to Gelya, the girl was still cool with her food.

"There's Gelya!" Ashma's whispers are a little thin, it could be dangerous if Gelya sees their behavior.

Adam smiled faintly and he kissed his wife's forehead once more before he finally stepped foot towards the exit.

Ashma escorted her to the front porch, until her husband's hand waved and her car left the courtyard and Ashma went back inside and locked the door immediately.

In that house there was only him and Gelya alone while Jhon was in the house next door which still belongs to the family of Adam.

Tonight will probably be so cold because there is no warm embrace from her husband. Ashma breathed a heavy sigh, it felt like she missed hard when she was just left a few minutes ago by Adam.

"Aunty's beautiful!" Call little Gelya make Ashma reverie crumpled.

"Why is Aunty daydreaming there?" Ashma gave a small smile she just remembered that Gelya was in her house so she wouldn't be so lonely, maybe that cold night wouldn't happen tonight because she would hug Gelya all night.

Ashma returned to the dining room, she sat back down to accompany Gelya. He and Adam had already eaten earlier this afternoon, this little Gelya was a little difficult to wake up so they ate first.

"Gelya's sinister, eat it well, '" Ashma rubbed the leftovers on the corner of Gelya's lips.

Gelya smiled widely, "Aunty's cooking is good because, so Gelya can't resist the turmoil of wanting to spend!" he said it was so funny and innocent that Ashma was getting anxious and wanted to always pinch her cheeks.

"Aunty will cook for Gelya every day then, later Gelya must taste the cuisine of Aunty country huh!"

Gelya recalled, "Indonesia is Aunty?" he said he was quick to respond, the girl was good at remembering.

"Yes dear."

...•••...

Adam stood right at his Mansion, the man immediately went inside after being pettyly greeted by his guards.

He immediately rushed to Aunt Marianee's room, knocking her down slowly so as not to disturb her belongings too much the time her mother had already fallen asleep.

Not long before Aunt Marianee's bedroom door opened, Adam shone on the back of Mama's hand.

"Adam, how did you come home? Which ashma?" ask aunt Marianee for not seeing Ashma with her.

"Ashma did not go with Ma, Adam also did not allow him to go anywhere first, the events of yesterday when he had bleeding made Adam afraid of anything happening with Ashma and her baby, too, so he better be there for a while" he said, recalling the horrible thing from last time.

Aunt Marianee also understood, she was also relieved to hear her daughter-in-law could live there, who knew the special person Adam would bring to her small house on the edge was Ashma.

"Hm, right. It's the best place for Ashma to remember thinking about you so often that it's frustrating to be here!" aunt Marianee uttered it in a slightly bullish tone to Adam, the master exhaling a sigh of resignation.

"Yes, I'm guilty Ma."

Aunt Marianee gave a small nod, "at least there you don't stress her out and have a lot more thoughts! If that happens Mama herself will intervene and this time there is no tolerance if you hurt her!" said aunt Marianee. He bullied Adam so the bad boy wouldn't do anything anymore. It sounded like a cautionary note that Adam had to live with as best as he could.

"Yes Ma."

Adam remembered Lily, "then Lily how is she doing now?"

Aunt Marianee let out a heavy sigh, "she still hasn't remembered anything, but lately Lily isn't too fussy, usually she'll keep asking about Edward."

Adam hears the name off his own, even when Lily's memory is lost still asking about Edward.

"Is he asleep?" adam asked to make sure he didn't disturb him if he was asleep.

"So far, the quality of sleep is also good." aunt Marianee smiled little considering Lily's condition gradually improved. Adam was also relieved because previously Lily was very difficult to fall asleep at night so he had to take sleeping pills given by the doctor.

"Alright, Adam will see him tomorrow. Have a good rest Ma." he said gently and then kissed aunt Marianee's back.

Adam immediately turned around to go to work, he had to meet with Jhon's replacement bodyguard who was in charge of guarding and supervising Lily for a while.
