Love The Way You Lie
Calm Yourself

Ria who is still in the daze of fear, in her control so that she can be calmer, back in her mind she does not want something to happen later on her womb.

Ria regulated her breathing, she tried to relax herself in front of her husband.

“Ti-no mas, to-please leave me alone first.” Said Ria with a lowered look.

Ria was unable and unwilling to even look her husband in the eye, and she was afraid that the emotions of Dafa might come back to harm her.

Dafa himself understands Ria must be afraid of him, his actions to Ria have indeed gone too far he will give time to Ria, he will prove his seriousness, he regrets having hurt Ria yesterday.

“Alright, but Ria.. One you should know that I'm really sorry. I know it's not easy to make you believe again, but I'll prove it, I love you Ria, very!” Dafa stared into his wife's face, saying sincerely and with seriousness.

Ria who was still standing in her position, now raised her head. She began to try to dare to look into the eyes of her husband, indeed she could not find the lie from the eyes of the husband every time he said a sentence of love.

But Dafa's arrogant attitude sometimes makes him feel sick of being hurt.

“No need to go down you just rest here, let me go down.” Dafa continued, he will let Ria rest in the room.

************

After saying her apology as well as her sincerity of loving Ria, it didn't feel like the day had changed now it had been a week since Dafa spoke to Ria.

Since that day Dafa gave distance to his wife, Dafa sometimes deliberately went home from work late at night, he also has now started to plunge take care of the company and the hospital.

Lukaz gave the condition that he would help Dafa on the condition that Dafa would go to help his business, Dafa who thought long finally agreed with the conditions proposed by his father.

He and Ria still live in the main house, because Dafa sees Ria is still often weak and her stomach acid often recur.

Dafa always hid his concern, he always asked his mother or maid who worked at home to help and pay attention to Ria.

Because if the Dafa who perform Ria will reject and provoke debate between them, Dafa does not want Ria to be more traumatized if she is close to Dafa.

Without Dafa knowing that his attitude made Ria even more hurt, Ria felt that what Dafa said was not really true, even now they very rarely interacted.

Sometimes Ria realizes that Dafa deliberately came home late to avoid her, because once one night Ria who felt thirsty went to the kitchen to take a drink saw Dafa who was sitting on the sofa by poking his head up while his eyes closed.

“If Mas Dafa is tired why does he not rest in the room? Is he avoiding me? Is that how he proves his love?” Said Ria with a clear circle flowing on her cheek.

That night Ria was getting hurt, pregnancy hormones really made her mood indeterminate. Sometimes he hated seeing Dafa, sometimes he was also hurt when he saw Dafa avoiding him.

Dafa rarely even greeted him, in the morning Ria would wake up with Dafa who was not in his room, when breakfast time they would meet, when they would meet, even if Dafa rarely talked to her, she would focus on her breakfast and then after that she would go to work, although when going to leave Dafa often kissed the tip of his head but Dafa did not say anything.

Ria felt tormented and hurt, she felt missed for her husband. Though what Dafa did was Ria's own request, Ria asked Dafa to give her own time so that Dafa would not disturb her but instead she was disappointed in her own request.

Unbeknownst to Ria, Dafa is also just as hurt, she feels the same pain as Ria for holding back her longing, she said, Dafa was forced to give distance and time to his wife he did not want Ria whose wounds had not fully recovered to feel hurt again.

Dafa spends his time working so that his mind and heart do not always demand him to embrace his wife.

As of now, the time has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening. Dafa had just entered the main house, he entered into his room because he thought Ria was already asleep, at that time he will melt his longing on the wife by staring at the face of the wife until she fell asleep.

But Dafa was surprised when he entered the room turned out that the room lights had not been extinguished and Ria was still sitting on the bed daydreaming, Ria daydream when she saw Dafa enter the room.

“You haven't slept?” Tanya Dafa who was then busy removing her suit while putting her briefcase on the desk in her room.

Dafa then walked to the walk in closet and rushed to the bathroom to cleanse his body, when he finished with his self-cleaning activities Dafa was again surprised by Ria who was still loyal to his position.

“Sleep, it's late.” Saying Dafa with his breathing and turning his eyes, Ria who had noticed the movements of Dafa was injured again, Dafa who used to always look at him when talking now no longer looks at him.

Dafa himself was uncomfortable with the current condition of the room, he chose to open his laptop to make his time seized while waiting for drowsiness to approach his wife.

Dafa did not have much courage to lay down his body when the wife was still awake, he seemed to have a fear that Ria would reject him or he was afraid that Ria would get hurt again because of him.

He was also afraid of not being able to control his emotions because today he felt tired, taking care of three jobs at once a body as strong as Dafa was tired.

“What's so way you prove?” Ria who can not hold back, let alone feel this pregnancy made her tormented far away from her husband. Finally, ask Dafa.

Dafa who felt Ria ask her immediately looked towards Ria, he felt astonished by her question. What else is wrong now? He's following his request?

Dafa felt he was not ready to talk to his wife, his work today drained his energy, his mind and his patience.

He really hopes when the wife comes home is asleep and he enjoys his wife's face, giving energy supply to his body with the shade of his face wife.

“What do you mean dear?” Ask Dafa, his tone is still soft he will speak carefully so that Ria can immediately fall asleep and he immediately fell asleep, Dafa felt really tired today.

“Is that how mas proves the seriousness of mas? By making me a display doll in this house?” Ask Ria who started to provoke Dafa's patience.

“I really don't understand, you better break this already night.” Dafa said he did not want the conversation tonight to end with a debate, his body and mind were really tired.

“Now I really know, everything you say is a lie.” Dafa was shocked when he heard the wife's words, he really could not believe that everything he did for Ria was considered a lie.

“I beg Ria, I don't want to argue and hurt you. I'm tired.” Saying Dafa who still controls his patience, he will persuade Ria with the rest of the patience he has.

But it turns out that women are difficult to understand, her request that is feeling tired as if describing Dafa does not look glassy, for Ria she who is tired of living with the demands given by Dafa by having to always be with her.

“Mas think I'm not tired? I think I should have said that. Mas should have been looking at all this time my life was tired with mas!” Said Ria who was already emotional from the beginning of Dafa's return, Ria had indeed intended to talk to Dafa because she could not see Dafa avoiding her.

“RIA! I beg you tonight just do not childish, I am tired of my work, and I will not bother you.”

Grief, Dafa said Ria childish? Without Dafa knowing his struggles during this time that was required to mature, even she felt she had never become a spoiled little princess.

At the age of just 19 years old he was willing to go to college while working for the sake of his father, he even married when girls his age spent time playing.

“Yes! I am a child, if Mas feels tired with this little boy better let go of me and just marry the mature friend of Mas.”

Yes, during this week Ria knew Dafa had to be betrothed by his parents with Thannia Dafa's best friend who is a doctor at Wijaya hospital, and he was married to her, and Ria felt the change in Dafa began when she took care of the hospital because she began to be interested in Thannia because she always met in the hospital.

“You're all right Ria? Yes, keep sinking into your mind.” Dafa immediately got up from his position, he came out of the room and slammed the door of the room.

Ria was surprised when she heard the sound of the door being slammed by Dafa, she felt a tight hit. Instead of persuading her who was sulking, the husband instead chose to leave her alone.

A clear thread began to wet her cheeks, Ria could no longer hold back her cries. He hated, he felt annoyed why also he had to be in the current position, before long his stomach felt cramped.

In her cry Ria curled up in pain, she indeed should not have much thought in pregnancy at such a young age was very vulnerable.
