Business, Hate And Love
Chapter 25 - Can I Take It?

Later that night, Maudy and her parents wait for Fahri at the dinner table.

Soon after Fahri came home from his office, he sat down next to his sister. "Why didn't you tell Brother if you met your husband?"

"I'm sorry, Brother."

"You met Zayn?" ask Rama.

"Yes, Dad."

"Do you want him to see you again?" ask Vienna.

"I just want to know why he sold the house, Mom."

"What's the reason?" ask Rama.

"She was forced to sell it to pay the employee's salary" Maudy replied making her parents feel sorry.

"If you had met him, brother would have beaten your husband because he hurt you" Fahri said.

"Sister, please don't hurt him, please" Maudy.

"You feel sorry for him?" ask Fahri.

"He's the father of my son, Kak Fahri's future nephew too."

"He's hurt you, Dy." Fahri.

"But, he's already admitted to regret, brother."

"Do you want to go back to her?" ask Vienna.

"No, Ma. But, he promised he'd be responsible to our future son."

"Good, if he wants to take responsibility. I hope what he says is true" said Rama.

"If he had hurt you, Brother would have beaten him!" fahri Promise.

"He can't hurt me!" maudy.

At 9 p.m., Maudy laid her body in bed while playing with her phone.

Maudy doesn't care about her husband's social media. Yes, he did indeed close the door of hearts to Zayn.

A green in-app message from her husband, Maudy just read it without replying.

Zayn again sent a message to his wife but received no response.

Maudy's third message then replied.

Zayn who read it was so happy even though his wife only replied to two words, 'Hi, too!'

Zayn was like a man in love, so happy when the woman he was after responded.

Maudy put her phone on the nightstand and pulled out her blanket and closed her eyes.

While Zayn waited for a second reply from his wife, "Is it possible that he's asleep?" muttered.

**********

A month later, Maudy again meets Zayn at the restaurant. Of course, their meeting was done secretly because Maudy did not want her brother to know.

"I'm glad we met again" Zayn smiled.

Maudy replied with a faint smile.

"How are you and him?"

"We're both fine."

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. When did your doctor say you gave birth?"

"The prediction is seven or eight weeks away."

Zayn curled his lips again.

"I'm sorry, when I gave birth you couldn't keep me company" Maudy said.

"I know you still hate me" said Zayn. "But, relax. I'm not having a problem with that. For me you and the child are safe already very happy," he continued.

Maudy smiled faintly.

"Have you been shopping for baby supplies?"

"It."

"Who?"

"Doctor of the Gods."

Zayn's smile faded.

"It just so happened that he had time so I asked him for help" Maudy said.

"If you ask me to accompany you, who am I at any time" said Zayn.

"But, I can't possibly ask you to accompany me."

"Why is it impossible?"

"Our relationship is about to end, so why are we meeting."

"Can't I be your friend?"

"No!"

"You really want me to stay away from you?"

Maudy did not answer.

"Have it, don't think about eating!"

Maudy enjoyed lunch with her husband.

Zayn grabbed a tissue wiping his wife's lips, leaving Maudy stunned.

"You want to add to the food?" ask Zayn.

"No."

"If our son is born, what name will you give him?"

"I don't know."

"Can I give him a name?"

"Alright, if you don't let me name our son," Zayn said in a disappointed tone.

Maudy then resumed eating.

After lunch, Zayn offered his wife a ride. "Would you go home or to the office?"

"I'm not in the office anymore. Maybe when she finished giving birth and the child was two months old and just returned to work" Maudy replied.

"You don't have to work, I will take care of all your needs and our baby" Zayn promised.

"I have to work, Zayn. Because your only responsibility is our son not me!"

"Because you have taken care of and cared for our child so I have the right to pay you. Consider it a wage because you have become a mother for her" said Zayn.

Maudy's eyes looked teary.

"Don't cry, you're so ugly!" Zayn.

"Who is crying?"

"That's her eyes starting to water!" point Zayn to his wife's eyeballs.

Maudy occasionally raised her head so her tears wouldn't spill.

"Let's take you home!" Zayn stood up and extended his hand.

"I can stand alone" Maudy refused.

"Don't deny or argue!"

Maudy finally received a helping hand from her husband, the two of whom joined hands in the direction of the parking lot.

Zayn opened the door for his wife.

In the car, Zayn asked for something. "Can I say hello to him?"

Maudy frowned.

"It's just for a minute, so he knows who his father is" Zayn explained.

Maudy nodded.

Zayn lowered his head, his hands touching his wife's stomach. "It's Papa, Son!"

Maudy's heart rippled as Zayn's hand touched it.

"Can I hear it?"

Maudy.

Zayn put his ear on Maudy's stomach to feel the heartbeat of his future baby and smiled.

Maudy's feelings suddenly became calm, happy and relieved.

Zayn lifted his head and smiled happily, "Thank you for allowing me!"

Maudy smiled faintly and nodded her assent.

Zayn took his wife home to his parents.

Once there, Zayn was about to descend but Maudy was forbidden.

"I want to take you to the front door of the house" said Zayn.

"Don't, Zayn. At home there's Kak Fahri, I'm afraid he'll hit you" Maudy gave an excuse.

"You're worried about me?"

"Yes" Maudy keceplosan.

Zayn smiled, "Thank you for worrying about me."

"Here home!"

"I'll take you home!" Zayn got out of the car and quickly opened his wife's door.

Zayn walked beside his wife who looked troubled walking.

Just getting to the porch, Fahri came out, "Where have you been?" ask him to Maudy.

"She went with me, her husband. We're from the restaurant, I'm taking her, '" Zayn replied.

Fahri turned his gaze to Zayn quickly his hand hit the man's face.

Momentarily Maudy screamed.

Zayn slumped on the floor, wiping his bloody lips.

Fahri approaches Zayn pulling the collar of his sister's husband's shirt.

"Sister, that's enough!" the screams pulled Fahri's hand.

Fahri releases his sister's hand back to punch Zayn in the stomach.

"Sister, stop!" maudy yelled pulling Fahri's body.

"Fahri, stop!" Rama came out from inside hearing the voice of his daughter's screams.

Because of his anger, Fahri did not heed his father's screams and did not realize if his sister was behind.

Fahri brushed aside someone's hand without looking back, his eyes only fixed on Zayn.

"Maudy!" Shouted Rama approaching his daughter.

Maudy's hand which Fahri brushed aside roughly made her fall.

The two men looked to the origin of the sound, their eyes rounded when they saw blood flowing down Maudy's thigh.

"Maudy!" Vienna ran up to her daughter.

Zayn and Fahri come to Maudy.

"Mom, sick!" screams crying.

Zayn lifted up his wife's body.

"Zayn here!" Rama steers his son-in-law to his private car.

"Let me drive!" fahri said then he said to his brother-in-law. "You can't come!"

Zayn saw the car his wife was riding passed.

He quickly ran to his car and caught up with his wife. No matter the prohibition of his brother-in-law.
