Dug....

Brakes...

Dug...

“Argh... Who is noisy this early,” complained Ana. He soon woke up from his sleep lazily, last night he slept late because of the event at his house now he had to wake up early because of the noise in his yard. But when he opened the front door, he was shocked by what he saw.

“Hai, Ana!” greet Thomas. His right hand was holding a hoe and there was a hole that was quite large had been dug by him.

Ana immediately glared at him, “what are you doing with my page,” said Ana was inexhaustible. He immediately went down to the courtyard to meet Thomas. While Thomas greeted Ana with a sweet smile on his handsome face, his sweaty face looked as soft as seeing Ana.

“What are you doing so early,” said Ana, she was about to get angry but seeing Thomas's face smiling made her unable to get angry at him, let alone seeing Thomas' sweaty face. “There are you doing by making that big hole?” said Ana while pointing at the large hole that Thomas made. His face was immediately saddened when he saw all the plants he had planted with difficulty buried in the dirt, this time he wanted to cry because he saw his efforts were in vain.

“I want to make you a fish pond, also a beautiful garden for you. A good view can help you relax and it's good for your pregnancy,” says Thomas. It takes shelter in the shade of shady shrimp fir trees.

“Then why are you hoarding all my plants?” ana was disappointed.

“No, I moved it there,” Thomas pointed at the row of polybags under the kitchen window.

“Oh, yes already,” said Ana keki herself. Embarrassed by her accusations, Ana offers Thomas breakfast. “Have you had breakfast?”

Thomas shook his head, he wanted Ana to make him breakfast. But, it was just his wish, the fact that he had prepared breakfast and wished he could have breakfast with Ana. “I've bought breakfast,” he said while pointing at some boxes on the table on the terrace, “if you like breakfast together, I haven't had breakfast,” said Thomas timidly.

Ana scratched her non-itchy head, it seemed like this man was intentional. But how else did he offer it. “Alright,” said Ana finally, “you go clean-up, let me prepare the food.”

Thomas nodded his ass as he waited for Ana to enter the house, when Ana was invisible he then shouted in excitement, of course with a voice that was allowed “Asyik.!”.

They eat in silence, it feels like a lot of what Ana wants to say but she is confused where to start, while Thomas occasionally steals a glance at her. Not that Ana does not know but she does not know what to respond, fortunately she remembers the last time she wanted to know the news of Chaty, she will ask now.

“How are you Chaty?”

“Chaty is healthy, he's always mad at me for not telling me about you. I really wanted to tell her but I promised you. Now will you give a little leeway and meet him?”

Ana sighed while looking at her distended stomach, she frowned, how could she tell this to Chaty.

Thomas who saw Ana looking at her stomach immediately understood, “I'm sorry for making your life a mess. I know there's nothing I can do anymore to go back in time,”

“I just don't know what to tell Chaty about my pregnancy. For God's sake, now that I'm pregnant with her niece,” complains Ana is frustrated.

“Ana, let me take care of you, take care of your pregnancy, about you accepting me or not I will give up completely on you. Although I am the biological father of this fetus, I willingly leave all decisions to you.”

Ana looks at the man in front of her, it is true that Thomas is the father of this baby and should he indeed be fully responsible for the baby that Ana contains, but should Ana accept it? He was a little scared and a little confused. On the other hand he needs someone who takes care of him because the greater the content the more difficult for him to do household affairs, he also gets tired faster, he can no longer freely massage his swollen legs, he said, he couldn't have asked Evan or Lily for help. On the other hand, he was frightened by the hidden motives hidden by Thomas, “I will think about it,” Ana finally said.

“Alright,” replied Thomas. At least, he wasn't really rejected.

“Chaty, can I see him?” asked Ana, she remembered Evan's suggestion that if she couldn't solve this problem, she should tell Chaty.

“Of course!” answer Thomas. “I'll bring you guys together.”

“I am not required to come to work every day, even I should not have to come here at all, but because living in the city there is also no you, so I choose here. Fortunately, my decision was right, I didn't expect to see you here, I'm really grateful. To be honest I thought, if I hadn't met you at this time, maybe forever I couldn't have met you and my son,” Thomas said, he couldn't have shed his tears, a few months after Ana's departure was the hardest thing to go through, Thomas immediately wiped the tears on his cheek, he did not want to dissolve in the sadness that surrounded him when happiness was before him.

But not with Ana, the girl was really crying, really her decision to stay away from Thomas was the best decision, if all this time she thought about this matter from her point of view, had she thought from Thomas's point of view.

Thomas immediately knelt down in front of Ana, “don't cry, I'm sorry.”

“I'm also sorry, for never thinking about this matter from your point of view. I felt that I was the one who was tormented, that I was the one who was persecuted, I was the victim, but when I saw you I realized, that we were both victims, we were both tormented, equally hurt. I can no longer blame you after you have tried so hard to take responsibility for what happened whereas I can only run away from this reality, run away from problems and pretend to forgive as if nothing ever happened.”

“Already, I'm fine, never feel guilty because of me. Because everything I experience is the result of my own actions. I'll stay like the old me if I can't go beyond this, I'll never grow up.”

“But you spent your time on treatment due to depression.”

“How do you know it?” thomas asked in surprise, he never brought this up in front of Ana, how could Ana know.

“Hem, Evan told me, he heard it from Soni.”

“Ah, Soni big mouth.”

“Do you really want to take care of me and this baby?” ask Ana to make sure.

“Ya,” replied Thomas steadily without the slightest hesitation.

“Even if I can't give you my heart, will you still do it?”

“Yes, with or without your love I promise I will take care of you and this child as sincere as my heart.”

“Alright, I'll give you a chance.”

“Really?” thomas asked in disbelief.

“Ya, but you have to remember one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Once you make a mistake, then there will be no more sorry for you. You have to remember that.”

“Yes, I will remember,” replied Thomas. He accidentally looked at Ana's belly that was bulging in front of him, he wanted to stroke her. But the desire was immediately denied, He had got everything he could get, he would not demand anything else, enough to make Ana comfortable with his existence.

But even though only for a second it turns out Ana saw Thomas' desire, she did not until the heart acted as if it did not see him. “Do you want to pet it?” tawar Ana's.

Thomas looked at Ana with a look of disbelief, was this offer really? “can?” ask Thomas to make sure.

Ana nodded and smiled. After getting permission from Ana, Thomas immediately placed both his hands on Ana's stomach, her stomach felt hard and a little soft at the same time, there was a tingle that felt, “oh, the baby moved, the baby moved,” said Thomas moved and pleased. But Thomas felt not enough, he then placed his head on top of Ana's stomach to ensure the movement felt by his hands. “His baby kicked in, he was greeting me Ana, he greeted me.”

Ana shuts her mouth and laughs at Thomas' absurd behavior. Happiness turns out to be simple, enough to be able to gather with loved ones then other matters let God govern it.
