ATIQA
Chapter 84: The Great Plan (1)

"I am Ardi Danurdara. On June 13, I stayed at Resort X. You can check the list of names there. I request to send CCTV footage around rooms 001, 002 and 003 pool areas. Send to my email. Soon!" said Ardi when contacting receptionist Resort X Gunungkidul Yogyakarta.

Finally Ardi chose to listen to Lala is to investigate what happened when they were on vacation together.

Because of his connection, Ardi got the tape in no time. Ardi slammed the laptop after seeing CCTV footage. Ardi saw Atiqah kissing with Thunder. Ardi thought it was Thunder who forced Atiqah but in fact Atiqah received the kiss while closing her eyes.

"Breng!! Anj!!" Ardi kicked the table.

Only a few days after he returned to Jakarta after Mitoni event in Jogja, Ardi had accepted such a reality. He feels betrayed. Even though they were still dating and Atiqah was threatened, for him this was a betrayal.

Ardi is getting darker in the eyes. He called Subroto's housekeeper. He asked to always send CCTV footage throughout the house and also told people to follow wherever Atiqah and Guntur went.

"Oh," Atiqah's voice complained in pain while holding on to the wall. Atiqah will return to the room after lunch with Subroto and Thunder.

"Nduk why?" tanya Subroto, approaching Atiqah. Thunder who had just placed the plate into the sink turned his head then quickly caught the body of Atiqah.

"Mbak why?" ask Thunder.

"My feet are cramped," Atiqah grimaced with pain.

"Tur, pijetono (Thunder, massage)," said Subroto.

Thunder sat Atiqah on a long bench and massaged him slowly.

"Still sick mbak?" Atiqah was still grimacing while nodding her head.

"Prophe, diluk kas mari (Sabar son, soon to recover)," Subroto rubbed Atiqah's back.

The thunder continued to spew until the cramps were gone.

"Gendongen maring room, Tour. (Direct it to the room, Thunder)," Subroto again gave his orders. The old man could not bear to see his son-in-law's granddaughter limping.

"Excellence of Eyang," though doubtful, Thunder carried the Atiqah. Atiqah hugged Thunder's neck tightly, she was afraid of falling. And the incident was recorded by CCTV which led to the pool and terrace pavilion. Ardi looked at it with a different mind. He thought Atiqah and Thunder were playing with fire behind him.

The closeness of Atiqah and Thunder must be intertwined because only the man is trusted by Subroto to take care of Atiqah and his future great-grandchildren.

Because the previous mistake made Ardi dark-eyed and all for him was infidelity.

Since then Ardi changed, no longer often exchange news or contact Atiqah. His great love turned into hatred and resentment.

Ardi covered up his pity on Atiqah. He thought only of the child in his wife's stomach. A grand plan was designed in such a way. The plan that would ensnare Atiqah and make his wife did not struggle and would never dare to leave him.

"Ma, Ardi please help Mama. Only Mama can help Ardi" Ardi told Anne. He came home after a long time.

"You came straight to ask Mama for help. Are you aware? Mama believes you cheated the woman" Anne said on the back porch.

"You don't have to talk to Ardi. Ardi just wants Mama's help. Don't talk about anything else," Ardi felt insinuated by his mother's words. Yes, he was deceived by the woman he defended desperately. Thought Ardi.

"What help?" anne asked while spraying vitamins on the leaves of her plants.

"Gini Ma ..." Ardi whispered his plan to Anne. Her mother nodded in understanding.

"Because Mama has helped Ardi. Ardi gave her one secret that Mama should know, "Ardi sat leaning closer to Anne.

"What's? what secret?" Anne put her ears close.

"It's about Papa" whispered Ardi. That day was at home.

"Splash by the way!" Anne wanted to know what the secret was about her husband.

"Do you know why Papa's secretary disappeared?" ardi asked, Anne shook her head.

"Why Narnia?" ask Anne.

"She's pregnant with Papa's son. Three months ago I gave birth. Boy, Ma." Ardi's whisper infuriated Anne. Not only was his son being tricked but himself as well.

"What??" Anne says it out loud and Ardi asks her mother to shut up.

"Don't yell, Ma. Later Papa denger. Ardi's advice, Mama amanin all assets on behalf of Papa. Change everything in the name of your mom. Don't let Papa get suspicious. One more ..." Ardi brought her lips back to Anne's ears.

"Not the secretary, Ma. There are three more women who became Papa's mistress. Two of them had one child each. Papa has lied to the old mother," Ardi is satisfied to reveal all the secrets of his Papa.

Anne widened her eyes. Clenching his hands with all his might. Anne was both angry and disappointed. All this time she was cheated by her husband.

*****

Ardi carried Atiqah into the car. He took his wife to the hospital where Subroto was being treated.

Atiqah groaned in pain, holding her stomach while squeezing Ardi's left arm while driving in the early morning.

"Sakitt .. is very sick. I'm not strong. It hurts a lot," Atiqah kept saying that.

Ardi, who was tense and panicked, yelled at Atiqah. "Can it be? I'm driving again, I'm not focusing. Hold it!" Ardi grimaced feeling his arm squeezed by Atiqah.

"You don't know how it hurts. I'm in a kesakannn ..." Atiqah shouted at Ardi. He was feeling pain but he was being yelled at.

"I'm sicker. Just so you know! you have betrayed me! I told you, don't lie! don't lie! butwhat? you do all that when I'm not around, when I'm far away. What kind of wife are you?" Ardi turned to cursing Atiqah.

Atiqah switched to squeezing the collar of Ardi's shirt. I wanted to hit her husband's face. Want to explain all but for free, in vain. Ardi won't listen to him.

"I'm in pain. I'm fighting for our son. Don't talk about anything else first. We'll talk about it later if everything's done. I just want you to pay attention to me, give me support. I love you, only you" Atiqah said as she endured the pain and cried. It feels like he is no longer able to feel the wave of love from the baby who wants to be born into the world immediately.

The car entered the hospital lobby. Ardi came out and shouted for help. He was carrying the Atiqah. Fresh blood came out from the thigh gap.

"Bring in, quick! you call Arista's doctor" the doctor said at the time. They went into the delivery room.

Atiqah continued to hold Ardi's hand. "Mas Ardi, your wife should be in surgery right away. His condition is not good. This is for the safety of the mother and child" said Dr. Arista who just finished checking.

"Well doc," Ardi nodded, as did Atiqah.
