MARRIAGE AGREEMENTS
ALVARO LOST PEDRO

Tatiana could not close her eyes at all. His mind was clearly filled with Nicholas. The pain in his face and shoulders was no longer felt.

Tatiana thought about how Nikolas's condition every second counted the clangs of the clock on the wall, hoping the morning would come soon and the doctor checked his condition to make sure that he had passed the critical period or not, to look after and look after her husband.

But Tatiana was sure it was okay. His body either does not feel nausea at all or dizzy. He can stand and walk even though he is limping.

Tatiana looked back at the clockwork on the wall already showing at seven in the morning. "Why daddy so long in the doctor's room. Did Nicholas' condition worsen?", asked Tatiana to Alma, who was guarding him all night.

Even Tatiana knew the woman was the same as not seeming to close her eyes stuff for a moment. Their relationship during this time was also not close like now being in one room only alone. While Dimitri asked Alma to rest in the inpatient room that Alvaro had provided.

Tatiana hated Alma who was Dimitri's secretary at the time. Not long ago Silviana's mother died Dimitri decided to marry Alma. Alma also accepted it.

Tatiana felt she was not being considered because Dimitri did not ask her permission at all when she was about to remarry. Dimitri told her the day before her wedding to Tatiana. That was why Tatiana was so disillusioned that she rebelled to the point of poisoning Alma's food. Which makes Alma had to be rushed to the hospital at that time.

Tatiana's closeness made Dimitri angry, when he also sent his daughter to a dormitory located in a remote village and difficult to reach anyone.

The first year in exile, Tatiana's anger and hatred for Dimitri and Alma was still immense. Several times Dimitri visited, Tatiana did not want to see him. While Alma was very understanding, he knew Tatiana's anger had not receded. Alma unceasingly showed her affection for approaching Tatiana.

As at this time, Alma always showed her affection for Tatiana like her own daughter.

Tatiana stared at the forty-year-old woman's face. It was obvious that his tired face and dark circles were under his eyes.

"Iwelma..."

"Dear, do you need anything?", replied Alma approaching Tatiana's bed. He gently rubbed the back of Tatiana's hand.

Tatiana shook her head slowly, but her right hand tightly grasped Alma's fingers and carried them to her chest. "Thank you for taking care of me" Tatiana said sincerely.

A smile was painted on Alma's face, she carried one more hand clutching Tatiana's right hand. "I do my duty, look after and take care of you dear".

"I've always hated you Alma, I don't want to know you at all. I'm sorry", Tatiana said with teary eyes.

"You're not wrong, baby, I understand how you feel. You hate me because we never knew each other before the wedding of me and your father. But believe me, son, I really love your father and you".

If your whole heart belongs to Miss Silviana, I won't take it. I only ask you to accept me a little even if his place is not in your heart. You can put my affection wherever you want it" said Alma who made the crystal clear Tatiana fell on her face.

Tatiana tightly hugged Alma's body and cried shedding her feelings. "Forgive me all this time mama, my heart's eyes are closed to all your kindness on me" sobbed Tatiana.

Alma heard Tatiana's words to her. "Mama...

Alma relaxed her embrace and framed the pale face of Tatiana who still looked bruised. "Darling, can you repeat that?".

"Mama. Mama Alma", said Tatiana again hugged Alma's body tightly.

Alma could not cover her happiness. He smiles.

"Oh dear, thank you son", Alma replied moved and gently rubbed Tatiana's hair.

Both of them seemed to be smiling happily. Unaware of Dimitri's presence among them. "Did you guys hug like that for a long time?".

Tatiana unraveled her embrace. "Daddy.why are you so long. Did something happen to Nikolas?", asked Tatiana curiously.

"Of course nothing happened to your dear husband. Everything's great. You are also said to have passed your critical period. Now get ready you can see your husband".

"Sir, I'll see you soon" Tatiana said.

Dimitri and Alma rubbed his daughter's shoulders.

Lethicia slowly opened her eyes. The woman tightened her embrace on her husband's body. Always in his sleep he was in Alvaro's arms. Things never change after their second marriage.

Alvaro and Lethicia spend the night at the hospital where Assensio is being treated.

"Darling, how did you sleep last night?", asked Alvaro, peeping over the head of Lethicia.

"I slept well Varo. I'm sorry when you haven't been to my room I'm asleep" said Lethicia.

"It's okay, you have to rest a lot. I don't want anything to happen with your womb" replied Alvaro rubbing gently on his wife's growing belly.

Entering the age of five months of pregnancy Lethicia quickly feel tired. And at night he will feel a cramp in his lower abdomen.

Alvaro takes Lethicia to bed in the hospital so Alvaro can get close and watch her. Of course, the room they occupy is a very sterile room and not an ordinary room. Only certain people can occupy it, considering the overnight cost is equivalent to the presidential suite room.

Last night Alvaro and Hector were in the waiting room in front of Assensio's room. While Audri has been driven home by Moreno to her apartment.

"Varo, did Assensio change last night?".

"Not yet, it's still the same as yesterday afternoon. Let's pray that Assensio will show his condition today".

"Yes Varo, I offer only an unrelenting prayer for Assensio and Tatiana, especially for Assensio, and hopefully his condition will improve" said Lethicia

"But Tatiana was conscious last night. I couldn't bear to see her so traumatized and hysterical. Tatiana cried incessantly especially when telling the sacrifice of uncle Pedro".

"Uncle Pedro was the one who saved Nicholas and Tatiana. When he saw the car at full speed was about to hit their car precisely in the Nikolas section, uncle quickly rewind the car. Until the victim is very severe uncle Pedro. Even he had to lose his life" Alvaro said sadly. He remembered all Pedro's kindness to him.

All his life, Alvaro will never forget how Pedro became an important figure in his life, when he was a child and away from his father first. Pedro was always with him and comforted him.

Moments later..

Ting... I heard a notification from Alvaro's iPad.

Alvaro takes his iPad on a nightstand and sees an email from Hector.

Instantly Alvaro sat his body with both hands clenched.

While both eyes darkened with hardened jaws staring at some of the photos that Hector had sent in his email.

Lethicia noticed her husband's change. "What's the matter Varo?"..
