“It looks like you are already familiar with Alana, dear?”
Lena smiled then climbed onto the bed where her husband was lying. Lena had just finished cleaning herself up after returning home from a party hosted by Rayanza Gilbert.
“Yes.. He's very kind and simple. She's not like most rich mistresses. The way he talks is cool too. And I feel like I'm talking to him. We even exchanged mobile numbers. Well.. We're friends.”
Erlan laughed softly. The man shifted his body so that he could get closer to Lena who was still sitting himself by leaning his back on the base of their bed. Once close, Erlan placed her head on Lena's lap which instantly got a soft caress on her head from Lena. The caress that made Erlan feel very comfortable.
“Oh yes? What are you two saying? May I know a little?” Erlan asked looking at Lena who was looking down while continuing to caress her brownish hair.
“Actually nothing matters. We just had a light conversation. Talking about ourselves. You know Erlan, she doesn't boast about her at all. I'm really amazed by him.”
Erlan laughed softly. From what Erlan knows Alana is not from the same family as Rayan. Even from the rumors that circulated Alana was the son of a former servant at the Rayan house first.
“I hope there is a next meeting between me and Alana.” Lena's smile continued.
Erlan just smiled. The man listened to what Lena said with an attentive look at her lover.
“It's enough to talk about him baby.. Now I want to ask you.”
Lena frowned.
“Ask what?”
“About children. Do you want to have a child with me?” Erlan asked with a serious expression.
For a moment Lena was silent. He returned Erlan's serious look at him. Remember, they have been together long enough. They also often do that, whether it's morning, noon, or night. But until now Lena has not been pregnant and that's only Lena realized now.
“Hey.. Why dream of it?” Erlan pulled the tip of Lena's nose to make Lena wake up from her daydream.
“Ah yes... Sorry Erlan I didn't mean to ignore you. But as far as I know everyone who decides to be together would want to have children. So do I. I would love to have children. I guess I need to be a little patient. Because until now I have not been pregnant.” Suddenly Lena's expression changed. Lena is sad because she is not pregnant yet.
Seeing his wife's sad expression, Erlan got up from her lying down. The man sat down beside Lena then gently grabbed Lena's body into his arms. Erlan did not mean to make Lena sad. Erlan just wanted to inquire about Lena's readiness to have a child with her.
“Sorry.. Ii'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad baby.” Lena's whisper closed both her eyes. It was regrettable because she asked like that because in the end Lena became sad like now.
Lena shook her head at her husband's apology. Lena then broke away from Erlan's embrace and looked up at her husband's handsome face.
“Neg.. You are not wrong. Maybe God has not entrusted us to that. I'm sure we'll have a lot of kids. And we will together raise our children.” Said.
Erlan smiled and nodded her head. The man felt that way too. Maybe God is telling him and Lena to be more patient in waiting for the presence of the baby in their midst.
“But darling.. I think besides we have to be patient, we also have to be more diligent again trying.” Said Erlan who slowly brought her face closer to Lena.
No longer feeling awkward for Erlan, Lena immediately draped her hands around Erlan's neck. And one brief kiss he landed first on Erlan's thin lips.
“You're right. We must be more enterprising and diligent in trying.” Her smile.
Erlan who felt that she was getting the green light slowly began to lay Lena's body down. The man stared fixedly at the beautiful face of Lena who always managed to make him fall in love every second.
And that night they went back to doing what they used to do with love.

While elsewhere in Alex's apartment, Sherin continues to bathe in the living room waiting for Alex's return. The night is getting late even the clock is almost leading to the number one. Alex has not yet returned. On the phone many times it was not picked up at all. It made Sherin feel even more unsettled. Sherin is afraid that Alex is still with Melisa.
The main door of the apartment opened, making Sherin turn immediately. Alex walks into the apartment with his tired face after a day of outdoor activities.
“You.” Alex stared flatly at Sherin who was staring at him with both her eyes puffy and her nose flushed red. Without even asking Alex knew Sherin was crying.
“Why? Why are you treating me like this Alex? What's my fault? Is my sin the same to you that you were so cruel to me?” Ask Sherin. His voice trembled with his two glassy eyes staring painfully at Alex.
Alex clucking. I don't know what Sherin meant, Alex doesn't know. Though Alex has also complied with the wishes of Sherin who asked to buy pregnant milk and vitamins this morning.
“I'm tired, want to rest.” Alex didn't care. The man intends to pass when Sherin arrives to intercept his steps.
“I haven't finished talking to you.” Sherin again said still with a trembling voice and tears that bathed her two senses of sight.
“For so long I have never protested that you would do anything Alex. I even kept quiet and only cried while you slept with another woman right in front of my eyes. I also resigned even though you chose to move rooms and sleep separately with me. But this time.. This time you're really outrageous Alex.”
Alex narrowed his eyes looking dislikefully at Sherin who dared to act so boldly at him.
“What do you mean Sherin? Don't force me to be rude to you.” Press Alex who starts to get emotional.
Sherin shook her head. Tears dripping down her cheeks with a smile that signaled her heartache.
“Don't you think I don't know what Alex is. I'm not a stupid woman. I know you attended the Gilbert family's lavish party with Melisa. You know Alex? What you did was already dropping my pride in public. You'd rather take your cheap secretary than me. Your own wife. I can take whatever you've been doing all this time. But not this time. You have greatly exceeded the limit. You are cruel and heartless.” Angered Sherin with tears that continued to race dripped across his cheeks.
Alex tried to hold back his emotions. She doesn't want to be rude to Sherin given the woman's already-greater pregnancy.
“Sound well Sherin. From the beginning I warned you not to go deeper into my life. But you're very stubborn and don't care what I say. So don't blame me if I do something like this. Because I never loved you. One more thing, never put Melisa down. Because he's much better everything than you.”
Alex passed by after saying such a word that pierced Sherin's heart. The man did not care at all even though Sherin was crying so bitterly in front of him.
