I'm Only the Second Wife
Episode 62

While continuing to chew, Elda gave Lucas some advice.

"Sister doesn't have to be dizzy. Brother get Lia warm water, keep helping her compress her stomach. Keep not forgetting, love Lia food ato his favorite snack. It's gotta be her mood going back"

Lucas immediately goes to the kitchen and asks bi Narsih to make some warm water for Lia.

Lucas goes to the garage to get something out of his car.

"Basic brother. Never seen a sister like this as a woman" said Elda

Mama Elda took the beans from Elda's hand and ate them

"Where to see, his Lucas never ever dating until marriage" he said

"Emang so yes ma, people if you've fallen in love"

While continuing to enjoy the nuts, Elda and his mother were engrossed in watching movies on TV.

While Dika, he was already feeling sleepy and peegi first to his room.

"Mama still wants to be here? Papa to the room first yes, it's sleepy"

"Yes, I got some rest first. Mama still wants to watch here with Elda"

Soon Lucas went into the house with many bags of groceries in his hand.

"Bi Narsih's... Bi..." Call Lucas

Bi Narsih immediately came out of the kitchen and approached the origin of the voice that called out to her

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Where is the warm water I asked for just now, ready?"

"It's den, just aunty get it"

"Take it and take it to the room ya bi"

"Ready den" bi Narsih replied

Lucas then returned to his room with Lia's various groceries.

Lucas put his grocery bag on the table, then opened it.

He took some food and gave it to Lia.

Tocktails... "Mission den, here's her warm water" call bi Narsih from outside the door

Lucas immediately opened it and took his compress.

Lucas opens Lia's blanket, then attaches her a bag of warm water over Lia's stomach.

Lia who had fallen asleep was now awakened from feeling the warmth on her stomach.

"Drowsiness, it's not papa you keep sleeping. I'm gonna compress your stomach until the cramp goes away" Lucas said as he rubbed Lia's head.

Lia's face that was upset earlier now he smiled while holding the hand of the wash that was in his stomach.

"Thank you, sir..."

"Same as darling. Sleep away..."

Lia closed her eyes again and continued her sleep.

Lucas felt very relieved, it turns out that the advice from Elda really helped him.

While looking at his wife's face, Lucas understood why he bought so much food and drink in the super market.

Apparently Lia was already on guard fearing her mood which suddenly turned upset.

Lucas put some of his food and drink on the nightstand next to the bed.

So that if Lia wakes up later and wants to eat something she does not need to get out of bed.

After that Lucas also lay beside Lia with his hand still holding the compress on Lia's stomach.

*****

The next day Lia wakes up earlier than Lucas.

His compress bag that fell to the floor last night.

Lia rhymed from the bed and was about to go to the bathroom.

But how surprised he was when he saw the white sheets on his mattress that was covered in blood.

Likewise with the nightgown he used, part of the waist down was all red.

Lia immediately woke Lucas up because he wanted to take off his sheets.

"Mas, wake up... Mommy..."

Lia patted Lucas' cheek as she continued to call out to him.

Instead of waking up, Lucas rolled over to a bed sheet that had a lot of blood.

Soon Lia pulled Lucas' body to turn around.

Lucas opened his eyes wide and sat down.

He was even more surprised to see Lia's nightgown full of blood.

"Darling, what's the matter with you. Why are you bleeding gini, what's hurt?" Lucas asked in panic

"I'm not papa, I'm not hurt. Let's move aside and get the sheets off"

Lucas was surprised to see that his bedsheets were also covered in blood.

He was increasingly convinced that Lia was injured to experience bleeding like this.

Lucas held onto both of Lia's shoulders, told her to sit down and asked back with a serious face.

"What's hurt baby, why are you bleeding like this? Sit down, you sit here I want to call the doctor right now"

Lucas took his phone and called his personal doctor.

Lia wakes up and takes the phone out of Lucas's hand.

"You want to do it anyway mas, I'm not papa kok"

"Ga papa how. Look at your shirt, look at that bedsheet. Plenty of blood everywhere and you can still say no papa?"

Lia smiled as she shook her head.

He understood Lucas' innocence about menstrual blood, because since childhood he only lived alone with his papa.

Maybe Lucas knows about what it's coming up to the moon, but to experience it firsthand this time he feels it.

Lucas sits on the sofa with his knees starting to feel limp due to worry for Lia.

While Lia took her towel and went into the bathroom.

Lucas waits for Lia right in front of the bathroom while continuing to knock on her door and forcing her to enter.

"Darling, open the door. Let me in, I just want to make sure you're okay"

"I'm not papa mas, this is ordinary blood" Lia replied from inside the bathroom

"Ordinary blood? This much you say is ordinary. What if you lack a lot of blood and have to be transfused blood, let's say baby we have to go to the hospital now"

Lia does not budge and keeps the bath cleaning herself.

After a while Lia came out with a towel wrapped around her body.

Lucas looked and examined Lia's limbs from top to bottom.

But strangely Lucas did not find a single scar on his wife's body.

Even now Lia already looks fresher and fresher unlike the sick.

"Mas, already. You take a shower there I'll put on a shirt"

To Lucas' astonishment, he walked into the bathroom.

How can someone who has lost a lot of blood still look so fresh and not limp at all.

He took a short shower and then came out.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Lucas saw Lia who had changed her clothes and was opening the bedsheets on the bed.

Lia put her dirty sheets in the bathroom and replaced them with new ones.

Using only a towel on his waist, Lucas pulled Lia's hand and grabbed her.

Lia looked into Lucas's eyes which still held many questions there.

With such a sweet smell Lia asked

"What else is it? Hm..."

"Are you really not papa?"

With a slight laugh Lia poked her arm around Lucas' neck.

"You're still wondering where that blood came from?"

Lucas nodded then tightened his embrace.

"That's all my menstrual blood, not because I'm hurt. Do you know where the blood comes from?"

Lucas raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"I don't know where the menstrual blood is coming out of?"

Lia pinches Lucas's nose "Basic naughty. Let's go I'll change the sheets"

"Ga will" Lucas replied briefly

"Oh yeah, so you don't want to let me go?"

With certainty Lucas nodded and began to bring his face closer to Lia's face until the tip of their noses touched each other.
