Morning dawned quickly, Stella as usual filled her morning time by taking a walk near the Apartment. This time Stella wants to go to the market because she wants to buy vegetables to fill her refrigerator. He also went alone because Maira was busy helping her mother.
Stella came out of her apartment when it was quite early in the morning. Due to the location of the market which is quite close, Stella decided to walk. But when he opened the door of his apartment, he was surprised to see Xander already standing there.
"Xander's? What are you here for?" stella asked in shock and confusion, when at dawn she saw, Xander was still standing below, but why was he here now?
"Where are you going? I'll take it with me" said Xander, upholding his body that was originally leaning against the door.
Stella frowned, she looked at Xander who looked very pale, black circles seemed to decorate around Xander's eyes. Of course, this guy didn't sleep last night and was also raining. Is she okay? thought Stella.
"No, I can do it myself" said Stella ketus, she locked the door of the apartment and then just drove away.
Xander did not stay silent, he followed Stella and walked behind her. "You know, in Surabaya including the city that has a high crime rate. What if someone bothers you and intends to harm you? So, let me drive you, yes" said Xander, trying to scare Stella into seducing her heart.
"You think I'm a kid? I can take care of myself" said Stella smiling sarcastically at Xander's words.
"I'm not saying you're a kid, but you're my wife, I have to make sure you're safe and well" Xander said.
"What do you really want?" stella stopped her steps because she was too upset.
Xander stopped, he looked at Stella with a gentle look. "I don't want anything, I just want you to come back to me" Xander said softly.
"And you must have known what my answer was!" stella said firmly and looked at Xander sharply.
"I know, and you should also know that I will always wait until your answer changes. Come on, I'll take you, where are you going?" suhut Xander reviewed the sweet smile then casually pulled gently Stella's hand and took her away.
"What if my answer doesn't change?" said Stella just stay where she made the handrails they both stretch.
"Then my answer will remain the same, I will wait for you Stella. I will always wait for you until you can trust me and get back together to build a full family. Me, you and our son later," Xander said with a heartfelt smile as his gaze panned toward Stella's flat stomach, but actually his heart is very eager to touch his son and give affection that they have never given.
Seeing the look of Xander's eyes that look sad and full of guilt, Stella's heart suddenly felt sad. His eyes warmed when he knew what Xander was watching.
"At the age of 4 months, she is growing healthy in my stomach" Stella said in a choked voice.
Xander's eyes sparkled as Stella said that. He looked at Stella with his good feelings.
"really? Is he naughty? I mean, have you ever wanted anything?" xander asked excitedly.
"Rogue? Of course not, I never wanted anything" Stella said as if forgetting that she was angry with Xander. The question seemed ordinary, but for Stella it meant a lot.
Xander smiles at her, he is happy when Stella tells him about her baby. But his heart could not lie if he felt more guilty. He had let Stella live in grief and was not accompanied by him.
"May I touch it?" xander asked doubtfully, but he was eager to touch his son.
"What do you want to touch her for? Didn't you ever want a child from a woman like me?" stella recalls Xander's words when they got married.
Xander fell silent, as if he had gotten a loud slap at Stella's words. That was his stupidity, he closed his eyes and became a cruel husband just because of the misunderstanding from the woman he had defended.
"I'm sorry" said Xander, filled with regret.
"If your apology could replace all my wounds, then I would gladly do it, Xander" said Stella, choosing to leave so as not to cry there. He really can't forget what the man did.
*****
After hearing what Stella said that morning, Stella thought Xander would give up on meeting her. But again he was wrong, Xander is not giving up but it is becoming more and more so at this time.
Just imagine, almost every day Xander came to his apartment and brought a variety of food, not only that, the man also brought her pregnant mother's milk. Stella had repeatedly refused, but the stubborn man was still pushy.
"Now what else are you bringing? I told you, I don't want to take anything away from you" Stella's sergeant looked at Xander with an annoyed expression that couldn't be covered up. Almost two weeks in a row Xander always does this.
"I didn't give this to you, but I gave it to my son" Xander replied casually.
Stella rolled her eyes lazily. "He's my son, not your son!" the word Stella seemed to need reminding once again of Xander.
Xander only smiled slightly, he suddenly stepped forward making Stella retreat.
"Hey! What do you want? I won't let you in" said Stella, raising her hand forward.
Xander's smile grew wider, he kept his feet moving Stella kept retreating.
"Xander! Stop at your place or I'll be mad!" stella said she was afraid that Xander would mess around.
"I'm not going to do anything, I just want to touch my son" Xander suddenly crouched down in front of Stella.
Stella had not been able to prevent when Xander gently touched her waist and then put her cheeks on her stomach.
"Xander, you ..."
"How are you today? Is she okay?" xander smiled as he closed his eyes, wanting to feel the subtle twitching of his son.
Stella's body freezes, lying if she says she's not happy. After a long time, finally the child in the womb can feel the touch of the Father. Stella's own eyes can not be prevented from removing a circle of tears. This was the moment he had always been waiting for.
Happy Reading's.
