Love Me Please, Hubby
Ch 23 - Without You I'm Lonely

The morning came back. Nisha wakes up to the smell of food that stings her sense of smell. Nisha quickly ran to the bathroom and vomited out her entrails. Without realizing it there is a person who goes into the bathroom and massages his back.

“Nona alright?”

Nisha was shocked to hear the voice of a foreign woman. He immediately turned his body to see who was massaging him.

“Si...who?” Nisha asked fearfully looking at the foreign face.

“I Retno Miss. Mr. Zico told me to look after Miss.”

“Di...where is he?” Nisha tries not to panic. The presence of strangers disturbed him.

“Master has departed Miss. He told me to call when Miss is awake. I'll take some warm ginger for Miss. Said the Master a little help nausea Miss.” Retno is a woman in her 40s. After helping to lay Nisha down in the room, Retno returns to the kitchen to pick up some warm ginger for Nisha.

Zico's absence when he opened his eyes slightly made Nisha feel empty. For the past few days he's been used to Zico's existence. I don't know why he felt so sad. Nisha shed tears. It seems like the pregnancy hormones are really affecting her. While engrossed in her cries, her phone rang. Nisha takes her phone, her sad face becomes a sigh as soon as she sees who made a video call to her. The baby's father!!

Nisha raised the call. He saw the handsome face of Zico filling the screen. His heart became a little thumping.

“Available?” ask her with a deep voice. Nisha nodded her head. Seeing her own messy face made Nisha hide her face under the covers.

“Why are your eyes red? You crying?”

“Gak.”

“Yakin?”

“He’em”

“His stomach is nauseous again?”

“Gak.”

“Do not lie.”

“Iya, slight nausea..”

“Why is your face closed like that?”

“A...I haven't showered..”.

“Indeed it makes a difference when you shower?” Zico mocked what he meant as a joke. But Nisha took it seriously.

“A...I am ugly!” nisha closed the call. Several times Zico tried to call her back, but Nisha ignored him. Finally the man sent her a message.

“Today I'm home tonight. I have work to finish. If there is food that you want to eat, immediately ask Retno. Tomorrow my schedule is a little loose. I'll take you for a walk. For today you stay home. Read the book I prepared in the living room. Watch the movie too. Don't forget to eat a lot.”

Nisha read with the message. He feels very lonely. Confused what to do. Suddenly he remembered. He hadn't contacted his mother in a long time. When you look at the date, it's time he sent his mother a little money. Nisha is so confused. He's not working now. He has no income. What money should he send to his mother? It is impossible if he has to use two debit cards that Gerry's assistant handed him. That's very disrespectful. Amidst his confusion, suddenly another message appeared on his phone.

“Nduk, this is Mom. I borrowed Yani's bukdhe HP. Nduk, I've already received the money. For the amount is not wrong Nduk? Why send him so much? Mom sampe startled.”

Not finished Nisha read the message, Nisha immediately called the number. On the first ring his call was immediately raised.

“Assalamu’alaikum, piye you are Nduk?”

Nisha felt so guilty. She was pregnant without her mother. How embarrassed, disappointed and devastated his mother when she saw her beloved child and pride pregnant in the city of people? Nisha was really scared when she had to imagine her mother knowing that.

Nisha is convinced that the one who sent the money to her mother is Zico. But why did Zico know? Yes, he forgot. Zico is a powerful director. It would be very easy for him to obtain information about one's bank account. Either he should be angry or grateful towards the man.

After drinking warm ginger, Nisha's stomach became fine. Nisha decided to take a shower and dress up a little. At least Zico won't see his pillow face again. Then Nisha started making video calls. He waited long enough before his call was finally lifted.

“I'm in a meeting. I'll call you again.” Then the call is closed. Nisha is lonely.

That day Nisha spent reading many of the books Zico left behind. He also watched movies about. It was not because he was interested, he just felt he had to repay the kindness Zico did to his family. So he obeyed the man's words.

Bu Retno makes a variety of dishes that can arouse his taste. But for some reason without the presence of men, all the dishes that were in front of the eyes felt very empty.

Nisha looked at her phone. I hope the man contacts her. But wait is waiting. The one in waiting did not come, in the end Nisha fell asleep in front of the TV.

Zico looked at his watch. Time had already shown at ten in the night when he arrived at his apartment. Zico opened the door slowly which was greeted by Retno politely.

“How is he?” tanyakanya.

“Today Miss ate with small amount. All day he did was read books and movies that left Mr...”.

“Why eat a little? Does your cooking not arouse his taste?”

“I don't know Sir. I've tried cooking what Miss asked.”.

“Where is he now?”

“Nona fell asleep in the living room Mr...”.

“Sleep?”

“Iya Sir. Is there any food you want to eat? I'll set it up..”.

“Not necessary. You can go. Here's to your overtime today.” Zico took the cash in his wallet and handed it to Retno's mom.

“Ti...no need Mr...”.

“It's okay. Thank you for your work today. You can go.”

Finished saying so, Zico immediately went to the living room. There he found the woman asleep with a pile of books in her hand. Zico smiled slightly looking at him. Slowly Zico approached him and carried the body of the mother of his child.

Zico moves Nisha to the master room. He carefully laid down that fragile body. As he was about to leave, a hand held his arm.

“Do not go..”

Zico looked at Nisha's face. The woman's eyes were still closed. While his hand gripped Zico's arm firmly. Making Zico confused, whether the woman has been awakened or not. Zico tries to let go of Nisha's hand, but the woman does not want to let go.

“Do not go. I'm afraid.” Nisha pulls Zico's hand. Losing his balance, Zico fell on the bed. Nisha hugged him more and more. Makes Zico speechless.
