Bonds Without Love
ITC #91

Bisma got out of the car in a hurry, she just got the news that Erina went home to the mansion in tears and immediately locked herself in the room, because it was finished meeting Bisma decided to return to the mansion.

After Erina fell down the stairs, Bisma did ask the maids to call her maybe something like this happened. Bhishma felt she had to pay more attention to Erina, because Erina had not fully accepted what was happening.

Lucky Leo has started working after a few days off, so there are people who can rely on Bisma to replace him. Because it is impossible for Bhishma to trouble Grandma Sekar to take care of their company. Again.

"Sir, Ms. Erin ..."

Bhishma nodded as if understanding what Maya was going to say to her, then Bhishma ran up the stairs. Bhishma did not know why Erina was crying, but she knew that Erina was in desperate need of her presence.

While Maya and the other maids can only hope nothing bad happens to their female employer. According to them, Erina was too good to experience bad things, and they hoped that one day Erina would become pregnant.

As fellow women, they know how Erina feels, miscarriage and getting news will be difficult to get pregnant, it is very bad, especially the husband is waiting for the baby, the baby, they alone could not imagine being in Erina's position.

"Oh, mom? you're home yet?" Erina asked as Bhishma entered the room, the woman smiled but could not cover her slightly swollen eyes from crying. Bhishma came straight to him and hugged the tiny body.

"Mas, what's wrong?" Erina asked astonished at Bhishma's attitude without intending to return her husband's embrace, even though Erina actually wanted to hug Bhishma, but the sudden embrace of Bhishma made Erina reluctant to reply.

Erina cried for quite a long time before Bhishma came, and she did not know the reason for Bhishma to come home early until hugging her, it might have been a problem in the office, or worse than that, Erina really doesn't know.

"Sorry ..." Lirih Bisma who increasingly tightened his embrace on Erina's body when his wife was trying to get away from him. "mas was meeting and did not know you called, what happened? you all right? why are you crying?"

"Oh?" Erina finally returned Bisma's embrace and smiled again, as if Erina knew the reason for Bisma's early return. "i know you're busy, it's okay, I'm fine anyway." His words sought to appease Bhishma.

Actually, Erina called Bisma just to tell her back from Soraya's house. That'sallthatis. Erina had no intention of interrupting Bhishma's work, much less to the point of making Bhishma worry about her as it was now.

Yes, even though Erina called Bisma while crying, but really Erina had no intention of making Bisma worried. Erina also did not expect to leave the job at the office just because she got a call from him.

Bhishma kissed Erina's head a little long ago. "If you're okay, why are you crying? is there a problem?" Bisma asked without any intention of releasing Erina from her embrace, making it difficult for Erina to just move.

Erina was silent for quite a long time, she wanted to tell Bhishma what happened, but was hesitant about the response that Bhishma would show, because Erina realized her reaction to Soraya's pregnancy was foolish.

"Max ..." Calling Bisma softly when Erina had not yet given the answer she wanted, then Bisma let go of her embrace and directed Erina to look into her eyes, Bisma was really made curious by the reason Erina was crying.

"Mas, it's lunchtime soon, I'm going to the kitchen to cook something." Erina said trying to divert, but Bhishma's hand stopped her step first, then Erina felt Bisma re-embracing her body.

"Erin, you promised you'd open up to me, please tell me what's going on? why are you crying? did something happen at Soraya's house, hm?" Bisma asked in succession, making Erina sigh, it seemed like Erina was already unable to dodge.

Erina felt the embrace of Bisma strengthen, and made it even more difficult to move. Erina painstakingly took a breath preparing herself to discuss the sad thing. "Nothing happened there, just ... Soraya's pregnant."

Bhishma was silent for a long time and tried to digest the words of his wife. Soraya is pregnant, it should be a good thing for Erina to know her best friend is pregnant, but Bhishma feels there is something behind Erina's words just now.

"My best friend got pregnant, and I blatantly said I didn't like her pregnancy. Mom, what should I do now? I said something bad to Soraya, she must hate me!" Erina said with a little frustration.

Bhishma froze and went back to trying to digest what Erina told him, not long after that she heard a sobbing sound coming out of Erina's mouth, and she still could not understand what had actually happened.

"But, am I really not able to get pregnant anymore? we've been working on a lot of things, why should Soraya get pregnant first?" Erina was sobbing more and more in the arms of Bhishma, she was already unable to hide the sadness that was in her nature.

"So, is that why you're crying?" Bisma asked, then Bisma slowly loosened her embrace and looked into his wife's eyes. Bhishma was relieved that nothing bad happened, it was enough to make Bhishma feel calm.

"Now Soraya must hate me." Said Erina who indirectly answered Bhishma's question to him, no matter what Bhishma would think of her, Erina just didn't want to make Bisma continue to worry about her.

"There's no way Soraya hates you, who knows she loves you so much, and I'm sure Soraya will easily forgive you." Bisma said, then showed her best smile while rubbing the top of Erina's head dearly.

"Mas doesn't know ..."

"Mas doesn't know what you've said to Soraya, but I'm sure your best friend feels the same way." Bhishma stopped her sentence as Erina looked at him with a serious and adorable face to her.

Bhishma did not know how bad his wife had said to Soraya. But Bisma was sure that not only Erina was feeling sad, Soraya must also be feeling sad about what had happened, and Soraya must have also thought about Erina's feelings.

One thing Bhishma knew very well, Erina and Soraya quarreled because Bhishma was unable to look after his wife, if only Erina had not fallen down the stairs at that time, if Bisma had come sooner and saved Erina from evil.

Yes, if. But everything has happened and Bhishma cannot turn back time. The last time Bisma met the doctor for Erina's examination, the doctor said that another factor causing Erina difficult to get pregnant is the stress experienced by the wife.

"So stop crying!" Bisma smiled warmly and wiped away the tears on Erina's face. "mas promised to help you apologize to Soraya, as long as you want to meet the requirements that you will give you."

Erina looked at Bisma as if asking her husband to tell her what the requirements were, then Erina felt the hand of Bhishma touch her head affectionately, this treatment that made Erina drop her heart.

"It's so easy, you just have to accompany the mas lunch and dinner. And one more thing, you also have to stop crying." Bisma said as she looked into Erina's eyes and her right hand caressed her head.

Erina did not know what kind of requirements her husband gave, accompanying Bhishma to eat had become Erina's habit and routine as a wife, but Bhishma made it as a condition and it was very easy to do.

"Max ..." Bisma called out in a soft voice as Erina simply fell silent staring at him. "Hows it? you agree?" while showing her little finger, Bhishma grabbed Erina's hand and fused their little finger together.

"Well, let's say you agree to it."

Bisma smiled warmly, she felt like this was enough to avoid Erina from stress or negative thoughts that might always haunt her wife. For the bisma of love is a miracle that can conquer the world.

In the evening, Bisma invites Erina to eat outside, as already mentioned, Bisma is tired of Erina's cooking, and Bhishma promises not to let Erina cook, so Bisma took his wife to a restaurant.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Erina is shocked to see Soraya and Farhan at the table who have already sent a special message to them, looks like the promise of Bhishma to help Erina apologize to Soraya was really done tonight.

"Maos ..."

"Max ..."

Erina and Soraya talked together making the two of them stare at each other. Erina wanted to apologize for what she said this morning, but it was like something stuck in Erina's throat and made it hard to speak.

While Soraya had intended to apologize first to Erina, but Erina did not seem to want to just meet with her, and it made Soraya take a breath before Soraya finally spoke again.

"Erin, if you don't like our presence, Farhan and I will leave this place." Soraya said suddenly as Erina's gaze turned to Bhishma, and it made Erina and the others look at Soraya.

"Who doesn't like your presence?" Tanya Erina held back Soraya's departure, then Erina rushed over to Soraya and scattered to hug the body of her best friend. "Raya, I'm really sorry I said bad."

Soraya smiled and returned Erina's embrace. "I should be the one apologizing, sorry for getting you pregnant. Erin, I don't intend to betray you, and I do ..."

"No Raya, you're not wrong, the wrong person here is me, I was too impulsive, please forgive my stupidity." Erina interrupted Soraya's words and tightened her embrace.

After that, they eat quietly while occasionally talking about exciting things, something that does not concern pregnancy of course. Because both Bhishma, Soraya and Farhan know the word pregnant is a bad thing for them to discuss.

"Then Farhan and I went home first, thanks for dinner." Soraya said as she moved from her seat, for some reason now Soraya felt a little hesitant to use the vocabulary of lo and I to Erina.

"Wait!" Erina's words restrained Soraya's departure, and made Soraya's gaze fixed on her. "Don't forget, if you crave something, call me." Erina smiled as if nothing had happened between them before.

"Farhan must be busy, maybe later you will crave something, and I will be ready for you to bother." Erina said clarifying the previous sentence, it made Soraya shed tears and sprayed her arms around Erina.

"Thank you, you are my best friend."

Bisma and Farhan threw smiles at each other, even winking at each other. Don't get me wrong, Bisma and Farhan are just happy that their plan is working, Erina and Soraya finally make up.
