Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Endeavors

Kiai Ahmad, his wife Ani and Kelvin gathered in the room where Auri was being treated. Everyone was silent when they found out that Auri lost her baby.

"I'm sorry Umi, Abi." Sobbed.

"No, hon. It's not all your fault. You don't have to apologize." Hugged Auri tightly and joined in crying.

Abi just bowed sadly. He kept his wife as a more mature person and as a leader. While Kelvin looks annoyed and almost hit the wall, but he was detained because there is an Abi.

And Ani, silently watching Auri's eyes trying to hide from Kelvin's gaze. He's like scared.

'What really happened to this couple. Weren't they very happy, loving each other all this time. Then why is Auri so afraid of Kelvin? And why is Kelvin acting so strangely towards Auri?' Inner Ani who began to guess the strangeness witnessed by herself.

Time continued to pass, Abi, Umi and Ani have returned to boarding school after the dawn prayer. And now Kelvin is the one who takes care of Auri.

"Sorry, I checked for a second!" Cried a nurse who started to check on Auri.

Kelvin sat quietly on the sofa in the room. He refused to look at Auri. He also did not say anything. Just shut up with a look of annoyance and disappointment.

"Auri's condition has begun to improve. Auri's blood is almost normal. So for a while mbak Auri do not move much first. If you want to drink, please just be with her husband." The nurse was friendly.

Auri just nodded slowly with a slight smile. The nurse immediately left the room.

The mood returned. Thirst began to be felt Auri. But unfortunately Kelvin did not care at all. Auri finally tried to grab the empty glass at the side table. The glass was successfully held, but the water was a little far from the reach. Auri was forced to shift her body so that her hand could reach the place of the water.

Auri of distress, while trying to move her body she felt pain and pain in her stomach. So he gave up and held back his thirst for a moment.

"Abang.. I'm thirsty." Said Auri slowly.

Kelvin looked at her with a sharp look in his eyes. He approached Auri.

The tears of Auri dripping were unbearable. It hurts a lot more to hear Kelvin say to her.

"I never forced my brother to love me. The brother who wants to marry me..." Said Auri while crying.

"Yes, it's all my fault. It's my fault I'm interested in your pretty face. It was my fault that you moved to my religion. I guess I can forget about my lover after I get you. As it turns out, until now you could never have my heart Auri."

"That'sghfar, bang. Enough brother to hurt me with all that hurtful talk. If you don't want me anymore, let me go. Go, go after the lover of that very dear brother." Auri said all of those words smoothly despite being accompanied by tears.

Kelvin turned away from Auri's face. He stepped a little away. Then Kelvin rubbed his face slowly while saying Asma of God.

"I'm sorry Auri. Looks like we're friends enough. I'll explain everything to Abi and Umi. I'll give you the money for the hospital fees, and also the cost to take care of our divorce. You're the one who should be suing for divorce. I don't want Abi to blame me. You're understand. I'm the current president of the pesantren. Be a good wife one last time. Keep my good name in front of my hundreds of students."

"Is that what you want?" Grip tightly against the blanket to hold inexplicable feelings.

"If necessary, once you get better, go quietly. I will not disrespect you in front of Abi and Umi. But, if you insist on meeting them, then forced, I cornered you. Remember it's Auri."

"good. I'll do it. But let me ask you one thing!"

Kelvin looked back at Auri's face with a cold look. Then then he nodded, allowing Auri to ask.

"Why does Kelvin hate me so much?"

For a moment Kelvin took his breath. Then he approached Auri and then brought his head closer to Auri's ear.

"I don't hate you. It's just that, as long as I'm with you, I imagine you're my ex-lover. Two weeks ago, I met him. He needed me right now, and I realized I needed him the most. I promise to marry her soon."

Auri smiled bitterly at Kelvin's reply. How fragile he is at the moment. It felt like screaming, but its power seemed to disappear. The pain of losing a baby is still too much pain. What now feels like falling down the stairs anyway.
