Zico read the message back and forth. He still did not expect the woman would reply to his message. For two weeks he was so eager to find out about the woman. Is she okay? Is the baby okay? Is the baby not fussy? Did my mom treat him well? Does he live in a big house? Is he happy living there?
Questions filled his head. There are many books he has read. Books about pregnancy, about babies and so on. The more he read, the more worry haunted him. Pregnant women need the support of their partners. Although they were not a couple, but at least he was the baby's father. He has to be responsible for that woman. Suppose the woman is not afraid and does not hate her, maybe she can give a lot of support for the woman.
But since the woman hated him, all she could do was send messages periodically. I hope she is okay until delivery time comes. But it was unexpected that tonight the woman replied to her message. Does she not hate him that much? No longer afraid of him? Ahh, it seems like tomorrow he has to go to the mansion. Seeing the woman's condition with her own eyes. Zico wants the morning to come. He could not wait to meet the woman.
But it turns out the situation says something else. That morning she was getting ready to go to the mansion when Gerry called her. It said that one of the companies using its software was experiencing an external cyber-attack. Eventually he and some of his men went to the partner company to stop a cyber attack that attempted to steal company data.
It turns out that it took quite a long time. After nearly ten hours in front of the computer, attacking each other and maintaining the security of the company's data base, finally the system in the company can be strengthened and external parties who want to steal the database can be destroyed.
All his men cheered happily. The director of the partner company congratulated him and invited him to have a drink somewhere to celebrate their victory. But Zico refused, he didn't have time for that. All he wanted to do was go to the mansion and see the condition of the woman directly.
Unaccompanied by Gerry, Zico drove his car to the mansion. Time shows at 18.38 WIB. That woman should not be sleeping, right? Zico drove his car fast. He just hoped he wouldn't have a traffic jam.
Almost half an hour Zico drove before he finally reached the mansion. In front of the house he was greeted by security who immediately helped him park his vehicle. Without greeting Zico entered the house where he grew up. He passed through various rooms before finally arriving at the living room.
In the room he saw his mother and two sisters-in-law sitting in a chat. Enjoy their tea and snacks. While his two nephews were playing around not far away.
“Where is she Ma? Why just the three of you?”
Ask Zico without greeting the people who were there. Sensing Zico's presence, they were greatly shocked. The two Zico sisters-in-law immediately stood up from her seat, her face looking worried and frightened. Mom sat quietly, sipping her tea in silence.
“Where is he Brother? Why not have tea with you?” Zico turned his question to Qintan and Rethah, who looked at each other without answering his question.
“Ah, maybe he's in his room. I'll look for him there. Please continue your activities.”
Zico passed by, going to the second floor towards his room. From the beginning he had already placed Nisha in that room, so he was very confident Nisha would be there. Arriving in front of the room, Zico immediately knocked on the door. Several times he knocked on the door but did not get an answer. Is the woman sleeping? But it's still seven o'clock at night, there's no way the woman's been sleeping, right? Can pregnant women sleep early?
Out of curiosity, Zico slowly opened the door of the room. Turns out the door wasn't locked. Slowly, Zico turned his head, trying to find the source of life in the room. After searching in detail, Zico saw no sign of anyone in the room.
Zico entered his old room. The room was the same as the last time he left it. There was no sign of the room being occupied by anyone else, let alone a woman. Zico checks his closet, trying to find Nisha's belongings but turns out to be nil. He didn't find anything. Zico started to panic a bit, but he kept trying to calm down.
Then Zico checked the bathroom, as he thought there was nothing in the bathroom. Like a bathroom that has not been used for a long time. There was no splash of water in the bathroom, which meant that no one had ever used it. Then where's Nisha? From the beginning he had already placed the girl in this room, but why was there no existence? Where the hell is he?
“Where is she Ma?! Why isn't she in the room?!” asked Zico in an angry tone. Usually he will be very level-headed when faced with problems, but somehow when it comes to the woman he can not hold back his emotions.
“She is where she should be.” My mother replied casually. While both of his sisters-in-law looked extremely frightened.
“The place is in my room Ma. She's pregnant with my son. So he should be in this room too. Gather with you as a family.”.
“Family? Family said?! From the beginning, my mother rejected it! Why are you forcing him to stay here? Mama didn't accept it as family! Nor will she accept her child! Such unclear women do not expect to get recognition from Mama!”
“Ma! The child in her birth is the granddaughter of Mama. If Mama can't accept him, at least Mama can accept the baby.”.
“No will! It will never! Mama would never accept a child from that woman!” Mama remained firm. Anger filled Zico's chest cavity. She did not expect her mother to still reject Nisha. He thought the woman was fine, but it was not what he expected.
“Then where is she Ma? Mama didn't throw him out, did she?!” asked Zico with a feeling of tightness. She couldn't imagine that Mama was really throwing the woman away.
“Have Mama said, she was where she was supposed to be!” Mama clenched her mouth tightly, a sign of not wanting to answer Zico's question again. Finally, with resignation Zico ran here and there, trying to find the whereabouts of the woman in the big house.
Zico ran towards the room of Lastri's mother, the butler he trusted so much. He asked Nisha where she was. Zico was a little relieved to know that Nisha was still in the house. Immediately Zico ran to the room that was located at the very end of the house. Then Zico impatiently opened the door.
BRAAAKKK!!
Zico saw the woman. I was ironing a pile of clothes that numbered in the tens of kilos. Zico was very angry to see it. He was not angry at Nisha, he was angry at her family who treated her like that.
“What do you do?!”
With the deathly pale face of the woman looking at him, her eyes looked unfocused. And in the next second the woman fell unconscious. Before Nisha fell (and was about to hit the iron she was holding), Zico quickly caught the woman's body. Grab it into his arms.
