Luigi stood up from the chair as a figure galloped in, Maldini Steffano standing with sharp eyes tracing the body of his son. For a few months they had not met.
"So you've been serving patients when your job as a person sitting in that chair has been so much ...."
Luigi came out from behind his office desk and approached the sofa. With one hand he pointed towards the sofa, allowing his father to sit down.
"What's Dad here for?" asked Luigi in a flat tone.
"Do you need a special reason to visit?" ask Mr. Steffano. Thankful that Luigi said a few words to her.
"How are you doing, Mom?"
"Oh, do you still remember what your mother looked like!? I thought you forgot you had a father and a mother?" sindir mr. Steffano.
"I'm busy, Dad ...."
"How can you not be busy when all the work you take! You shouldn't have to accept patients! You're a director!"
Luigi just kept quiet.
"How's my son-in-law doing?"
"What?" Luigi frowned confusedly looking at his father.
"Natalie ... How's things?"
"Uh .. Did he never come to visit?" ask Luigi.
"How could he have come alone! You should have taken him to the mansion!"
Luigi did not answer his father's words, thinking Natalia must have gone home to her own parents, because her father had just confirmed that she had never come to Steffano's mansion.
"Is Natalia pregnant?"
"Ap .. what?"
"You heard me, Luigi .. It's been a while Natalia moved out of the mansion and lived with you! Several times your mother called her and she said you guys were fine. But lately, Nat has never called again. Your mother thinks she's sick. Is it related to pregnancy? Is she pregnant?"
"No ... "
"Yet?"
"Yes,"
Maldini Steffano took a deep breath in disappointment.
"We deliberately didn't come to you so you'd have a long honeymoon together. I came because I thought maybe Nat was pregnant. If so, you should move out of your apartment immediately. That place is not suitable for family men."
Luigi just kept quiet, seeing the disappointed murat on his father's face. Then the old man got up.
"Go home with Natalia once in a while, Luigi. Your mom misses .. we have dinner together."
Mr. Steffano looked at his son with a sad face. Since marriage, Luigi did not want to talk to them, now it's been a few months his son was just saying a few words.
As there was no answer, Mr. Steffano finally stepped into the exit.
"One more ... tell Natalia. Visiting both of his parents, Ambroz told me his daughter never came home and visited him."
Mr. Steffano opened the door and finally passed away leaving a stunned Luigi. From the words of her father, Natalia means not to go home to her parents.
Where do you live, Natalia?
Luigi took the phone. Open up and call his mother immediately. The call was answered on the third ring.
"Hello, Son ... Oh God. You finally called me again."
Luigi was again stunned, the sadness was very thick in his mother's voice.
"Mom ...."
"Yes, Son ...."
"Mr ..." Luigi heard his mother mutter softly.
"No, what's up Luigi?"
"Dad just got out of here .. he wants to know Natalia."
"Ck! Not just Natalia! Your news also .. That is the reason that he can step foot into your place and talk to you! You guys are really stubborn! He misses you, Luigi." Luigi heard his mother sobbing slowly. He was silent, long staring out the window of the office. So much time was wasted due to her anger at this forced marriage. Back Luigi gasped at Catalina's crying words when she forced him to kiss the girl on the day of her engagement to Natalia.
If there is nothing more you can do to change the situation, then learn to accept it and do your best, so that you can be happy ....
"Son?"
"Mom .. can you send us Natalia's number now?"
"Are you not keeping it?"
"Deleted, Mom. I wait, there's something important I want to talk to her about. Um ... later, if I have time, I'll come to dinner, Mom."
Then Luigi disconnected the connection. He looked out the window again with his hands on his phone.
Do your best to be happy? Have I tried it? My heart is only wrapped in anger, closing my heart to all that makes me have to go through this marriage. Keep my mom, my dad away ... Am I now satisfied?
The sound of the incoming message distracts Luigi's mind. He looked at Natalia's cell phone number that his mother had sent.
Luigi immediately pressed down and called the number.
Several times he tried, the number was active at first. But it was inactive a few moments later. Luigi frowned.
His phone suddenly died ... Intentionally ... or because the battery is running out?
**********
Natalia stared in horror at her phone on the table, as if it was about to peck and bite. He turned off his phone when he saw Luigi calling.
"Nat, what's up, honey? why don't you pick it up?"
"That was .. that was ...." Natalia stopped saying the words. He swallowed to smooth his throat.
"Nat ... What was? Who was that?"
"Laura .. that's Luigi. Why did he suddenly call me?
"You're sure it's Luigi?"
Natalia nodded her head, her gaze frantically staring at Laura.
"Laura ... how about ... if he calls because he already knows?"
"That's not sure, honey. Don't think about the no-no. Come ... now rest. Don't think of anything." Laura hugs Natalia, but Natalia's enlarged stomach blocks between them.
"Nat, your baby's important right now. Just remember that ...." Laura stroked Natalia's stomach.
Natalia nodded, looking thankfully at Laura. She complied as Laura guided her back to the room to rest.
