Being a Dad to My Niece
Chapters 15. Arga's Lies
Chapter 15
'If Marsha is the one in the village, I have to wait for her there. Besides that I also can't meet Valerie, Arga's inner being.
"No. You better give birth here. Facilities in the city are better and complete than in the village," said Arga reject Marsha's wishes.
The woman was silent too. He had expected this. Marsha thinks that Arga won't be parting ways with Valerie for long. If, he was the lahiran in the village surely Arga would come even if he did not want to. The man did not want to let the name of both himself and his family tarnished especially until it was damaged.
"Alright if that's what you want. It is not that a wife must obey her husband's wishes while not taking to the path of heresy that is cursed by God," Marsha replied with a charming smile.
Arga's feelings were immediately struck upon hearing Marsha's words. Last night she forgot her status as a husband.
Arga was as good as he used to go to work. Suits take Marsha to school. His wife will only take leave if it is near the time of birth.
Arga's steps were so wide as if he wanted to get to Valerie's room immediately. The all-white room now felt colored with the smile of a short-haired woman as a shoulder.
"Kok, long time home?" Valerie sulking.
"I'm sorry, Baby. I had breakfast first. Has the doctor come to check on you?" Arga stroked Valerie's handcuffs gently and the woman shook her head.
That day Arga spent time with Valerie. The two reminisce about the times they spent together by carving out fond memories. The man also helped as the woman underwent a series of treatments. The muscles in Valerie's body were still limp. Although during the coma the nurse always moves several parts of his body, still aware he must undergo therapy in order to recover.
Every Arga will go home Valerie always held him by the roar of tears so as to undo his intention to go home. So tonight Arga stayed back at the hospital to accompany his lover and forget the wife who was pregnant.
***
Like yesterday, Arga will be home in the morning. He saw Marsha cooking. The man greeted me softly and affectionately. Marsha also behaved as usual nothing has changed.
Such Arga activities are constantly repeated. He feels very happy because the relationship with Valerie is going well, as well as his relationship with his wife. Until it didn't feel like a week went by so quickly. Arga has to go back to the office.
Once in the office he had to do many tasks. The end of the month is always like this. Even many employees are overtime if the date is old.
"Baby, I'm sorry. Today I couldn't come to the hospital because the office work was so much" Arga said by phone.
"At least come here for a little while. I miss you so much, honey," replied the person across the street.
"I'll try to come see you for a while" Arga said and made Valerie squeal with pleasure.
The man contacted his lover and forgot to contact his wife, as he was time-hunted to quickly finish his current job. Arga finally came to the hospital at around 16:30 and missed the lover for 2 hours because he had to return to the office.
Tonight Arga overtime until midnight and returned to the apartment at about 00:15 with a tired body. He went into his room to take a shower because he was not comfortable with the smell of the hospital and was also sweating all day.
Unknowingly his feet went outside the room and headed towards the room next to him. He slowly opened the door to see Marsha's state. Arga approached the sleeping woman on her back because her stomach was already large. He could see Marsha who was not wearing a hijab. All this time she had never seen the wife without her hijab.
Arga's eyes are locked on a smooth white face with a sharp pointed nose, pliable eyelashes, neatly arranged eyebrows, and fresh pink lips. Beautiful, that was what Arga had in mind at the moment. His hands stretched out and gently rubbed Marsha's head.
"Sir Arga just got home?" marsha asked and glanced at the clock on the wall almost one in the morning.
"Yes. As usual, the end of the month is very busy" replied Arga.
"Definitely tired, then Brother quickly rest!" tell Marsha to get the man out of her room immediately.
Arga slept in his room. His body really felt crumpled.
***
"Sister, today the part checks up to the gynecologist," Marsha said.
"Oh, yes. I'll take you home from the office" said Arga.
"OKAY. I'll sign up for a checkup later this afternoon" Marsha said.
Actually Marsha is three days late from the routine schedule of checks every month. This is because Arga is too busy and when Marsha is about to say always just cut immediately. If only he had been allowed to bring his own car, of course since yesterday the day after he went to check himself.
Arga again forgot his promise to take Marsha to the obstetrician. Valerie called him shortly before the man came home from work. The woman complained of pain in her head that made the man panic and went straight to the hospital.
"What did the doctor say?" asked Arga as soon as he arrived at this inpatient room.
"The doctor said that I shouldn't think too much, because it will cause pain in my head" Valerie replied softly showing her sadness and pain.
"What do you think makes your head hurt?" ask Arga.
"I'm afraid that you'll leave me, because I'm like this" the woman replied with a sad look and a sobbing voice.
Arga hugs her and kisses Valerie. The man promised he would never leave him.
"You dare swear you won't leave me?" Valerie challenged Arga.
"Yes, I swear. A man abstained from breaking his vow," Arga replied lightly.
"Thank you, honey. More love, me!" valerie said cheerfully as she hugged Arga's body tighter as if she did not want to let go of the man.
Arga forgot his promise to the pregnant woman who was waiting for him anxiously. Promise to check the condition of the baby in the womb that has been entrusted to him.
