Love That Pain
My best friend

“How was the result, Chel?”

“I should still wait for the results of his lab.” Chelsea opened the lid of the jar containing potato chips, then he took the potato chips and he put them in his mouth, “Alex has also done a test, I think he does not want to do that.”

“Alex may also want to have children soon, so he complies with your wishes.”

“Vik, when will you and Betrand get married? Will your relationship be forever like this, no certainty?” Chelsea took the potato chips back and he put them in his mouth, not feeling Chelsea almost spent half a jar of potato chips.

“Me and Betrand are getting married soon, so I sent you here. Tomorrow, I have a wedding dress fitting, do you want to accompany me?”

“Tomorrow, but that day I had to go to the hospital to take my test results with Alex.”

“You can tell Alex to take it. You know, I already have no one but you, my parents just don't care about me,” said Vika sadly.

Chelsea pat Vika on the shoulder, “ alright, I will accompany you, whatever I will do for my best friend,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Thank you, tomorrow I'll pick you up, we'll just take my car. Tomorrow, Betrand will also follow after his affairs are completed.”

Chelsea nodded her head, “then what if now you come to my parents' house, I miss Noel, he is now getting smarter, even though he is only 3 months old, he said, but he seems to have understood that, I'm getting anxious to see him,” he said.

“Ok, then I am ready first,” said Vika and then moved from her seat.

Kania is happy to see Vika coming to his house along with Chelsea. He knows a little about the problems that Vika faced first, because Chelsea had told him.

“Noel, where, Kan?” chelsea asked as she put her foot into Kania's room.

“Noel just went to bed, you're late.”

Chelsea and Vika step foot into the baby box where Noel sleeps. Vika touched Noel's puffed cheeks, she was so anxious when she saw the tiny baby who was still sleeping.

“Yes, even though I want to play with Noel. Can I get up?” pinta Chelsea while looking at Kania.

Kania shook his head, “don't, Noel must be tired, he had just played with his Papa, so he went straight back to sleep.”

“What did Brother Veon come home to?”

Kania nodded her head, “she went home with Zaki, in addition to taking the missed files, they all had lunch.”

Chelsea invites Vika and Kania to get out of the room, she does not want to wake up Noel's sleep. They chose to chat on the back porch as usual.

“Eric, your tumben is at home, I don't think you will return to this house again,” Chelsea quipped when she saw Eric was also on the back porch of the house.

“Sorry, Sis. if this month I do not live in this house, you know, Papa bought back the house that used to be sold with Oma and Opa. I tried to stay in that house for a month, but I didn't feel at home. There the atmosphere is quiet, not kayak here, rame, I can also play with Noel,” explained Eric.

“Did you tell me Mama and Papa, if you want to stay in this house again?”

Eric nodded his head, “Om and Auntie did not mind, he said they, I can replace the brother here as his son,” god while holding back laughter.

“Basic!” Chelsea hit Eric's arm, “then what about your lecture? Don't date just the job,” the ledek.

“Whatever, just a girlfriend I don't have, I'm still single, sister. I want to find that girlfriend like Kak Kania, already beautiful, well again,” praise Eric while staring at Kania.

“Do not tease Kania yes, otherwise you can deal with Kak Veon, you know, how Kak Veon if you are angry,” said Chelsea with a smile.

“Yeah sister, I where dare to tease Kak Kania, I will say the criteria of the girl I like is the same as Kak Kania, does not mean I like Kak Kania, this brother is strange for a long time, what is all that effect because the brother is married, so the thought of the brother is very shallow,” Eric ledek.

“Ya.ya I go, after all I also want to go to campus,” said Eric then move from his seat.

“Eric, do you not miss your family, you have long lived in Indonesia?” ask Kania.

“Kangen anyway, Brother. But, I also can not leave my college, he said during the holidays later, Papa will return to Jakarta.” Eric then moved his foot away.

“Why are you asking that same Eric?” asked Chelsea in curiosity.

“Because I can see that Eric really misses the affection of his family. He is very dear in this house, Veon alone already considers Eric like his own biological sister, as well as me, Mama and Papa, we all love Eric very much. But, our affection that can not replace the affection of his family,” explained Kania.

“Yes, Eric has changed a lot while living here, he can become more independent, and is no longer spoiled. Whereas in the past time in America, just a day, he did not stop whining to me, ask for this, ask for it, I was dizzy to obey Eric's will. But, now he could be alone, and did not need the help of others. Mama is indeed the smartest to change someone's attitude, Mama's affection to Eric, can replace the love of Mama Eric that she can never feel again, he said,” said Chelsea while looking at the departure of Eric who had even shown his back.

The next day, Chelsea were already getting ready to go along with Vika for shirt fittings. They will go to Vika's subscription boutique at around 10:00 a.m. Chelsea have also told Alex he cannot go to the hospital to take their check-ups.

“Hopefully later Alex does not forget.” Chelsea then took her sling bag and came out of her room, because Vika was waiting for her in the living room.

“You already told Alex right, if you can't come to the hospital?”

Chelsea nodded her head, “already, hopefully she does not forget, let's go now,” take her.

Chelsea then say goodbye to her domestic assistant, after which they get out of the house and into the car. Vika then drove her car out of the gate of Alex's house. On the way to the boutique, Chelsea tried to contact Alex, but the call was not answered at all by Alex.

“Maybe Alex is in a meeting, because Betrand told me earlier, he will follow after the meeting is over. I'm sure, Alex won't forget.”

Chelsea nodded her head, “I'm just worried, you know that's the result I've been waiting for so long.”

“Yes, I know, that's why, Alex will definitely remember it because it's so important to you.”

They had finally arrived at Vika's subscription boutique. Vika looks around so many collections of wedding dresses that are the longest in the mannequin statue. The dress looks so beautiful and luxurious.

“What do you want her dress like? I see everything is beautiful.”

“I'm also confused, but I want a simple one, no need a fancy-luxury.”

Chelsea then pointed to one of the very beautiful wedding dresses, but it looks simple, “how about you try that dress?” his proposal.

“By too, then, I'll give it a try.” Vika then asked the waiter to get her the wedding dress and take her to the dressing room.

During the wait for Vika to try on the wedding dress, Chelsea again tried to contact Alex, and this time the call was connected, “halo, dear,” said.

“Sorry, last time you called, I was in a meeting. I know you must want to remind me to go to the hospital. You take it easy, I remember, this is me just going to the hospital.”

Chelsea smiled, “sorry, I guess you forgot, then be careful on the road yeah,” he said.

“Iya dear, later after my business is done, I will follow there, now Betrand has gone there.”

“Alright, I wait, then I close first.” Chelsea then ended the call, the woman was able to breathe a sigh of relief, “ I think Alex forgot, it turns out he still remembers,” he said with a smile on his face.

Chelsea saw Vika who had just come out of the dressing room, she was amazed to see the beauty of Vika. The wedding dress is very suitable on Vika's body, “you are very beautiful, Betrand must be very fascinated when you see you wearing the wedding dress,” he praised.
