Arjuna's Wife (Limited Outreach)
CHAPTER 45b
Wife Arjuna 45b
In the main room on the second floor, curtains were accidentally opened in the dimness of the night that began to envelop the sky. The large glass is also the main room window facing the garden area and swimming pool. Below there presents a view of the expanse of beautiful flowers, accompanied by a clear ripple of pool water that was struck by light from round lights that surround the park as well as the right side of the swimming pool.
It has been a week since the day of departure. During that time Anggi really had trouble falling asleep. When far apart, the bed feels there is less, but when nearby the sense of wanting to deflect is unstoppable.
Previously, sleeping alone without Juna beside him was one of the things that entered his favorite list. But, not anymore. Could all this impact from the presence of a baby who has a portion of Juna growing in the womb make it a dependence on the seed spreader? The thing he never suspected at all, dragged him to dive deeper into this unusual feeling.
Lowering his gaze, Anggi gently rubbed his own stomach. “Do you miss Papa very much, son? To the extent that you do not want to give Mama a chance to sleep quietly, hmm?”
Anggi thinning lips laughing at himself. Her world with Juna changed a lot after the presence of the fetus that almost discarded. He then turned to see a super-large wedding photo displayed on the wall above the headboard.
In the photo, he and Juna smile knots like newlyweds. Contrast with reality after the party. His smile changed at that moment. Anggi walked closer. Staring straight while breathing deeply.
“As still as possible, this uninvited thumping feeling that I can't stop has a chance to beat in rhythm with your race, Mas? Your world is filled with only one name. You did incise a wound, but because of you too I felt an unusual pulse in the pulse as your seed thrived in my womb,” muttered to himself in a shackled environment of horror.
The knock on the door shifted Anggi's focus from the photo, the sound of her mother-in-law calling. “Fig, dinner is ready. Come on, let's eat with Nak,” call Marina from behind the door.
In a hurry, Anggi opened the door. Marina smiled at him affectionately. “Why did Mami bother to call me? Let Bik Tiyas alone, later Mami tired,” said Anggi while rubbing the shoulder of her mother-in-law.
“It's okay. Besides, Mami's worried you're late to eat. Being pregnant should take good care of the condition. Come on, we're down.”
Without much exchanging words, Marina took Anggi to the dining room attentively. Maharani also Barata already present at the dining table, waiting for Anggi and Marina to dine together.
“Rani. Your language, please. We are one family, not guests to be arranged and entertained,” scolded Marina in a low tone to the eldest.
“But that's a fact, Mi? Already know it's time for dinner, instead of going down faster, it makes us wait. Where is the ethics of him as the host also sister-in-law?” sambar Maharani did not accept. Barata, who was sitting on the chair next to the Empress, stroked the back of his wife's hand, hoping that the straight-haired woman's emotions were slightly dimmed.
“Honey, Anggi is pregnant young. I hear a lot, in the initial phases, pregnant women are easily tired so it is recommended to rest a lot. So we all need to understand. After all true as Mami said, we are family, not guests,” said Bara softly, Well-meaning want the atmosphere at the dining table remains conducive. Eating foods with a stressful atmosphere is not a good idea. It is like being chased by an enemy on the battlefield.
“Why did Mas even belain Anggi? Should have defended me, not him!” exclaim Maharani beavering. He gave a sharp look at the tired-looking man.
Barata breathed a tired breath, while Anggi closed his mouth tightly not wanting to make an opinion. She had expected that this kind of thing would happen when she heard that the sister-in-law would be staying at her house for some time when Arjuna told her that Barata would handle the company as long as her husband was away in Europe.
If you can refuse, Anggi is reluctant to let the Maharani who blatantly does not like living in his house even if only temporarily. However, in the business of leading the company he is not qualified and Barata is indeed the right person.
Anggi had suggested that his father-in-law would replace Juna. Only, Surya also has a solid business schedule in Bali that cannot be contested.
“Rani. Mami, take care of your attitude!" firmly Marina with a rising voice now, different from the previous one.
"But, Mi?" maharani Sergah.
"Stop. Postpone your debate. Now it's time to fill the stomach. Do not let Mami neglect to take care of your sister's child and wife after Juna entrust and entrust Anggi to Mami. Also pity Bara, let your husband eat quietly after a long day of work,” explained Marina emphasizing his every word. Throwing an implied gaze did not accept the objection that was always powerful to make the Empress speechless.
