Embrace Love's
Ch 131's. Mom's cookies

Natalia looked towards the window when she heard the sound of water drops coming down on the roof.

"Rain!" natalie got up from the kitchen chair. He intended to go outside and lift the clothes he had just sunbaked outside with Laura. The sun was shining until Nat and Laura decided to sunbathe outside. Clothes that are newly lifted and feel dry because the warm sun is more satisfying than just dry by a dryer. They decided to start washing and cleaning all the linen in the house.

"No, Nat. Just sit. Let me!" laura's orders. But Natalia didn't listen to that order. He continued to step towards the kitchen door, then past the back porch, then down the short steps and went to the line to start lifting all the linen and clothes that they had sunbaked.

At the front of the wooden house that Natalia lived in, Luigi's car had just pulled over. Luigi immediately ran because of the drizzling rain that began to wet the earth. He arrived at the front porch of a very beautiful wooden house with the presence of pots containing flowers arranged neatly and beautiful. Luigi knocked several times, then called and said his greetings, but still no one heard him, also opened the door.

Luigi glanced to the side of the house, flowerbeds adorned a cobbled road leading to the back, a road that would have also led to the Cristal Clear Lake lake which was not far behind the house. Following his heart Luigi went down the veranda and stepped through the rocky path. The drizzling rain that descended soaked the skin of Luigi's sleeves that were not covered in shirts, Luigi had just wanted to quash his intention to look and would turn back when the sound of people shouting entered his ears.

"Come, Nat! You'll get wet! Just let me!"

Nat!? Luigi stepped back quickly towards the back of the house. His eyes were circling the place. Under the drizzle that came down and began to wet his shoulders and head, he saw a woman who was in a hurry pulling the clothes that were draped on the rope and putting them in the basket. Luigi stepped closer very slowly. There was another person standing at the end of it, behind a wide, green sheet that was being pulled. Luigi could only see his legs behind the linen.

"Oh, Nat! You're stubborn! Come inside!" said the woman who had lifted the basket. Luigi gulped, hearing a loud laugh from someone behind the linen. The laughter of Natalia.

Then the sheets were pulled whole. Showing a woman wearing a loose dress made of yellowish white shirts with knee length. The dress that printed clearly the state of the woman's stomach that was pregnant. Luigi was fixated, his eyes staring at the enlarged belly, then moved to the figure of the woman as a whole.

Natalia sensed and realized that someone was coming, she glanced and suddenly fell silent when she found Luigi standing not far from there. His eyes widened, shocked and his body was riveted.

Laura who saw the strangeness in Natalia's gaze immediately turned around, turning towards Natalia's gaze. Laura was just as surprised when she saw Luigi.

Laura was the first to break the silence, as the drizzle that came down started to turn into more rushing drops of water. He approached and pulled Natalia's hand.

"Nat ...," said Laura slowly.

As if electrocuted, Natalia pulled her hand. He gulped, then began to run towards the house very fast.

"Snat!" yelled Laura in panic. He was afraid Natalia slipped to see the way the woman ran. Laura and Luigi stared at Natalia who disappeared behind the door.

Laura then approached Luigi.

"You're coming, Doctor ..." said Laura.

Luigi just nodded. They were both drenched under the rain.

"Let's go in, Doctor." Laura asked.

"Call me Luigi, Laura. You're Laura, aren't you?"

The former nanny Natalia smiled as she nodded.

"We're just chatting inside .. come ...."

Laura invited Luigi in. After putting down his basket, he disappeared into a room, then returned a while later with a wide towel.

"Use this, Luigi. You're wet .. hmm, I don't seem to have a change of clothes."

"I brought my clothes, Laura. In the car. I'll put him down first."

Laura just nodded. He saw Luigi come out and thought that Natalia's husband would have intended to stay the night if he had brought a suitcase with his clothes.

After Luigi returned, Laura directly directed him to a room.

"You can change here. Inside was the bathroom" Laura said.

"Where is he, Laura?"

Laura knows Luigi asked Natalia. He simply pointed to a room right next to the room Luigi was going to use.

Luigi nodded, realizing Natalia had locked herself in the room after running into the house. Luigi then went into the room and headed for the bathroom. He will take Natalia to talk after bathing and change her clothes first.

Inside her room, Natalia went back and forth restlessly. Fear struck his heart, Luigi must have seen the state of his enlarged stomach. How does the man feel about his pregnancy? Then why did he search all the way to the Crystal Clear?

A knock on the door made Natalia jump, then she heard Laura's voice calling out to her.

"Nat .. It's me, open the door."

Natalia opened the door and peeked through the open door.

"Where is he, Laura?"

"There." Laura pointed towards the door next to Natalia's closed room.

"Your husband is bathing and changing clothes."

Natalia frowned with a pale face. Laura held the door and looked at the restless Natalia, "Nat. Let me in. We're talking inside."

Natalia nodded, then opened the door of her room wide for Laura to enter. Then he locked it again from the inside.

"He came all the way here. Talk to her. At least listen to what he says, Nat."

"He won't talk to me, Laura. It's been so long and why is he just now talking? "

"Nat ... You said it's only natural that he was angry at that time because of what you've done."

"Yes. I-i know. But ...why is he coming now?"

Laura chuckled softly. "Natalia .. That's why you met her. Talk to him. You'll know what your husband wants here. She must have seen earlier ..your stomach is big. A husband will ask that. You can't hide anymore."

"I'm so scared, Laura ... uh ...." Natalia nibbled her temple.

"Now you get changed, Nat. Your clothes are damp. Then rest. I'll tell you you're on break if Luigi asks you."

"Yes ... I'll just go to bed" said Natalia.

Whatever ... just don't face the man now, Natalia's mind is restless.

Laura looks for a loose dress, then helps Natalia change her clothes. After that, he came out of the room.

Natalia laid her body on the bed. He decided he would see, what Luigi's reaction was like. He came here for sure with a certain purpose not ... Natalia looked at the wall next door. Listen to the sounds and movements of the room. The cold man had come all the way to the Crystal Clear Lake, what made him come, there was no way he would have known that he was pregnant. His parents did not know ....

Luigi, who was out of the room, immediately looked for Laura. He brought a box of cookies left by Natalia's mother. After finding Laura who was in the kitchen, Luigi placed the cake box on the table and pulled out a chair.

"Is Natalia still in the room?"

Luigi saw Laura brewing two glasses of tea. Then prepare a plate of biscuits. The woman placed it in front of Luigi. One cup of tea for Luigi, and another for himself.

After sitting before Luigi, Laura smiled.

"Drink, Luigi. It's still warm."

"Thank you, Laura." Luigi took a sip of his tea, then looked towards the kitchen window. It's still raining hard out there.

"He's here alone?" luigi suddenly asked Laura.

"Yes." Yeah."

"He told you she was pregnant?"

"Yes ... so are all the other stories."

Luigi nodded, understanding what Laura meant by the other story. Natalia must have told me about their relationship.

"Do you know where Nat is pregnant? Mr and Mrs Ambroz no one knows."

"A friend. Who told late. He had known for a long time since he first met Natalia in the hospital. But he didn't tell me at Natalia's request, thinking maybe Nat wanted to tell me himself." Luigi sipped back.

Laura just kept quiet, sipping her own tea.

"Did he have a complaint? I mean during her pregnancy this ...."

"As long as Nat is here, no. She was healthy, eating whatever she wanted, also looking happy. She waited happily for the baby. He said he was calm... I don't know how he was before that, how he was before he came here."

Luigi was pensive, looking at the condensed window. Before that Natalia lived in her apartment, and must have felt depressed living with a man who was very cold and did not care about her.

"After he's rested, talk to him,"

Luigi turned his head, then just nodded his head at Laura.

*********

"Snat! Unlock door. You've been sleeping too long. It's already night time. Let's have dinner." Luigi knocks on Natalia's closed door. There is no answer from within. Natalia looked at the door without moving from the bed she was sitting on.

"There's a cake from your mother. I've taken him a long way. Your mother just called, she asked you."

Silent. Luigi took a deep breath.

"Nat ... I'mtired. I had dinner first. I'm going to bed fast."

Luigi turned around after no reply from inside the room. Laura greeted him at the kitchen door.

"Would you like dinner now?" ask Laura.

"No Laura. I'm not hungry."

Laura looked confused. Luigi just took water and drank. Then the man said good night.

"Rest, Laura. I think Nat will come out when I'm asleep. I'm gonna go to bed. Good night."

"Good night, Luigi."

An hour later, Natalia no longer heard anything from outside or from Luigi's room. Slowly she stood up, then stepped barefoot on the wooden floor, her stomach was hungry, her baby was protesting, felt like a somersault in the stomach. Natalia held her stomach and smiled.

Patience Honey .. We'll be eating soon. She stroked her stomach twisting, trying to calm her moving baby.

Natalia opened the door to her room slowly. Then he looked around, The lights of the middle room and in the front had been extinguished, Only the outside lights and the kitchen were still on. From the bottom of Luigi's room door, it looked dark. Looks like the guy's asleep. Natalia also glanced down Laura's room door as she passed by to head for the kitchen. The room was also dim. Natalia rushed to the kitchen. He went straight to the fridge and peered inside. He smiled finding food inside the sealed container that Laura had of course prepared for him. He just heats it in the microwave. Laura must know ... Natalia never missed her meal. Especially now in two-body condition.

Natalia lifted the container and placed it on the table, her eyes then saw a box placed in the middle of the table. His hand reached out, and he realized it was a box of cookies that Luigi said his mother had left.

After pulling out a chair, Natalia sat down, then opened the cake box. Cheese pastry, his saliva instantly rising. Since she was pregnant, she loved to eat the cake. He used to not like it.

Natalia took one, then started chewing. All his longing for the mother seemed to burst forth, remembering how the embrace, affection and all the love of his parents through that one bite. After he finished taking another one, chewing and remembering how the mother looked. How could his mother leave the cake to Luigi. They don't talk to each other. Did his mother have to beg Luigi for the cake to be brought? If yes .. then curse Luigi .. because his mother must be very sad afterwards.

"When I tried so hard .. why can't I match yours, Mom," whispered Natalia in silence. He looked for a long time at the rest of the cake in his hand. Imagine her mother printing the cake in the kitchen of their mansion. Natalia's tears are running out and dripping.

"The material is the same ...." Natalia sobbed, "how to make it is also the same .. The recipe is the same .. why it doesn't taste the same ..." complained Natalia in a hoarse voice. Natalia closed the cake box from her mother, then hugged the box in the chest. Spilling his longing on the mother who had been unable to hug for months.

"Thank you, Mom ... Miss you. Very ...." Natalia began to move, wiggling her body, swinging back and forth while continuing to hug her mother's cake box. His tears were rushing, he tried not to sob, not wanting anyone to hear his crying voice." I'm sorry to make you sad, I'm a selfish troublemaker ...."

In silence, Natalia shed her longing in tears, her tears shed, and she longed for the two who had raised her so lovingly.

Behind the wall towards the kitchen, Luigi who was standing in the frame of the kitchen door hid herself when Natalia started crying. He actually didn't go to sleep. He just closed the door and listened to the sound from Natalia's bedroom door. He smiled when he heard Natalia coming out of the room. He followed for a while and found Natalia staring down at the open fridge. It looks like the woman is hungry and looking for food. Sure enough, Natalia took out a food container and put it on the table.

Luigi leaned against her shoulder in the door frame, watched Natalia who saw the cake box from her mother and sat down and decided to start chewing. Luigi did not expect that the woman would then start crying, he heard a whisper coming out of Natalia's lips.

Deciding to allow time for Natalia to let out her grief, Luigi stepped back and hid behind a wooden wall. She misses her mother and her father. How many months have they not met? The spoiled girl whose life had changed by one hundred and eighty degrees since marriage. There were no more parents beside her, nor away from the in-laws and lived with a husband who thought there was nothing. Luigi took a deep breath, listening with a heart that was also sliced, sobs from the woman who had forced her way into her life, forced her status to change to husband, and now ... he made him a father.

Luigi listened for a few more moments, then he stepped closer, arriving at the door frame, he deliberately made a sound so Natalia knew he was coming.

"Nat ..." call Luigi.

The woman's body immediately stiffened, she did not turn her head, just lowered her head and began to wipe away the tears on her cheeks with one hand. Next to his other arm was still tightly hugging the cake box given by his mother.
