Marrying My Beloved's Killer
Chapter 22. Two red lines

“Huhhh! Why else this!” Noah continued to grumble when he felt his head suddenly throbbing.

The nurses who were accompanying him on duty this morning were confused because of the strange attitude of their idol handsome doctor.

“Why the dizziness should be now, anyway!” Again the young doctor grumbled, one hand massaging his forehead hoping the pain in his head could subside.

The hours of Noah's practice will begin in an hour, Noah is reluctant to take the drug because he is worried about drowsiness that could arise due to the effects of the drug.

It would be better if the remaining hour he used to lie down, thankfully if he could fall asleep even if only for a little while, he thought.

While lying down, Sea's shadow danced back in his mind. Had seen his wife who also looked pale and limp, raises a question in Noah's mind.

Is he sick too? I'm sure the boy is exhausted!

Who told him to work after college? Cih, did he intentionally work there because he wanted to meet that brengs*k guy!

Very strange according to Noah, “I've always kept my diet, although busy I always took time to rest,” monologue with both eyes remained closed.

“I also have routinely consumed vitamin support endurance,” he continued. “However, why have I been so tired lately, huh?”

“What is it with me? Should I get a full medical checkup, huh?” murmured Noah.

“Is it possible because I still lack exercise?” Noah opened his eyes, checking his schedule lately on his playbook.

Actually not solid enough and he should have time to exercise routine as before. Unfortunately, after marrying Sea, Noah spends more time avoiding his wife. Busy themselves with work only so that their meeting time is reduced.

After that, Noah finally realized, “Rupanya again because of Sea.” Noah sighed slowly.

“Have all my attitudes been wrong, all this time? Unknowingly I hurt myself.”

“Why is it more logical that I want to avoid it whereas, my heart is getting to see it?” Noah rubbed his face with his hand.

“Argghh! Aneesa, why did you have to choose to end your life? Makes me have to go through this!”

Now Noah doesn't know what to blame and who else. If Aneesa had died in the past, he would have easily committed the error to Sea. However, regarding his current inner struggle, to whom did Noah have to blame him?

Apparently Noah's plan to rest for a while would end up failing. Instead of resting his mind, during lying down not a second he stopped thinking about many things. And at the top of the list of all the things that troubled the handsome doctor's mind was Sea, his wife.

What's he doing now? Is Sea still in college? Or is she with that guy*l*n? Inner Noah.

All the things Noah was thinking finally broke when he faintly heard the commotion in front of his practice room. “Huh! What a commotion this time!” his gerrick.

Reluctantly Noah inched toward the door. The closer, the clearer were the voices of the two women arguing.

Clik.

Only the sound of the door lock that Noah opened, had managed to stop the debate of the two women.

“What is this?” ask Noah. Although the intonation of his voice was flat, but the cold face and sharp gaze of Noah were able to make the two women involved in the debate fall silent.

“I-i-ini, doctor Alesandra forced want to see you,” shootout the nurse. “Padahan already I told you if, you are resting,” he added.

Noah shook his head. It was just a trivial matter, and the two of them made a fuss to attract the attention of the patients who were waiting for the queue, Noah thought.

Wanting Noah to just throw Alesandra away, unfortunately it was impossible for him to do considering where they are today. Noah is also not that bad, driving out Alesandra would certainly humiliate the woman.

“What's doctor Alesandra? Why do you want to meet me?” Noah no longer greeted Sandra as she had when they first met. Alesandra's actions the last time have been very outrageous, Noah still keeps his frustration on him.

“I want to talk about something important,” he replied. “Please, just a minute!” Both hands he put together in front of his chest, heartened for Noah's willingness to talk to him.

If refused, Noah could be labeled as an arrogant doctor by the patients who are the audience of their drama at this time. So, Noah finally agreed to Alesandra's request.

Alesandra smiled, finally Noah was willing to meet her. Alesandra has the intention to mend her relationship with Noah. Being a friend of the man was the first step for Alesandra to achieve her goal of having Noah.

After yesterday receiving a call from someone who claimed to be named Alfio, Alesandra felt that she was far behind. Alfio tells her that Noah's wife is probably pregnant. And if that's the case then the chances of having Noah are getting smaller.

I must succeed in becoming his friend. It would be better if he trusted me, so I easily incited him to leave his wife! Alesandra.

Noah knocks at the table in front of him which is the separation between him and Alesandra. “You said something important. Why just shut up?”

Alesandra woke up from her daydream. “I want to apologize, Noah.” His speech. “I admit, I've gone too far.”

“Of course, I promise.” Happy face can't Alesandra cover. It's not that easy to get an apology from the guy.

“And please remember your limitation, doctor!” Noah continued with a flat tone of voice. “We are only colleagues, please take care of your attitude.”

“Please remember if, I am a married man. Not just career and job, but, I have the responsibility of maintaining the integrity of my household,” explained Noah.

It was not only Alesandra who was struck by Noah's words. The man also did not expect what he had just said.

Where did that thought come from? Though I only want to affirm to Alesandra about her limits, but why I even discuss my household, the inner Noah.

After Alesandra left, Noah laughed. Mocking at his own words, “Household wholeness?” the repeat followed by laughter.

“What do I live with this Sea can be called household?” ask Noah to himself.

A mistake because Noah discussed the household and ended now he re-thought of Sea. Dizziness and nausea back again, “Arrggghh, what's wrong with me! Why just the thought of Sea makes me suffer like this!”

..............................

... ...

During the two hours of the lecture, Sea could not concentrate at all. His mind was filled with many possibilities that could have happened. The more Sea thinks, the more he finds out, the results still lead to the possibility if he is now two-bodied.

Both of his palms were cold, the sweat wetting his forehead. Sea nervous and scared. There is nothing wrong with being pregnant. The man who had planted the seed in his womb was a legitimate and lawful man to him. In fact, her pregnancy was highly anticipated by her two in-laws.

“There's nothing you should be afraid of, Sea.” His murmurs encouraged himself.

Sea is now in a car that he parked quite far from a pharmacy. Black glasses, a mask that almost covered his entire face, did not forget the jacket made from parachutes he had used to cover his clothes.

Sea did not want anyone to recognize him, which is why he dressed up like that just to go to the pharmacy and buy a pregnancy test. Sea was still not convinced by his conjecture.

Sea's plan worked. Although no one managed to recognize him, but some pretentious mothers even judge him.

“Basic children today, yes..” said one Mother. “The association is very free. Pregnant out of wedlock, what a shame and pity on his parents.”

Sea certainly realized if the material of the gossip is himself. If she does not remember her mission to hide her identity, Sea is eager to tell the two middle-aged women, if it is true that she is pregnant, who impregnated her is her own husband.

Not wanting to linger into gossip, Sea rushed home with 5 pregnancy test kits with different brands. His heart beat twice as fast, his hands shaking as he used the test kit one by one.

Wait for 5-15 seconds why it feels so long for Sea. His gaze never moved from 5 flat objects that might change the course of his life.

Breathing was difficult as tears drop after drop fell down her cheeks without her being able to prevent it. Two red lines on all five pregnancy tests have answered Sea's questions about her condition recently.

“I... ha-mil?” Sea is still in disbelief, she will soon become a mother.

For Sea, there was not the slightest regret about the presence of this fetus in his womb. Sea loves Noah and Noah is her husband, so there is nothing wrong with her pregnancy, she thought.

But, when remembering the word khilaf spoken from Noah's lips made Sea hesitant to convey the news of her pregnancy to Noah. “If that night was a mistake for Mas Noah, could it be that he would accept the presence of this boy?”

Thinking of that as soon as Sea's legs went limp, the poor woman ended up sitting on the cold bathroom floor. The two neutrals seemed to tirelessly shed tears continuously.

“Why didn't I get hurt? Should this child also bear sorrow if his father does not accept his presence?”

... ...

Ahead of lunch break, the phone in the IGD room of Pelita Harapan Hospital rang. One of the nurses who received the call said that within minutes an ambulance would arrive with a male patient who collapsed after complaining of severe pain in his head.

Noah, who served as a doctor during the afternoon, had to postpone his lunch hour. Sure enough, shortly after that the sound of ambulance sirens was heard.

Two nurses rushed to the ambulance service and helped her move the patient to a gurney available on IGD. With the experience they had, the two nurses without waiting for orders immediately checked the patient's vital signs.

Not wanting to waste time, with a stethoscope hanging around his neck Noah was ready to give the man's patients some help.

As soon as he opened the curtain, how shocked Noah was when he found out who the man was lying helplessly on top of the gurney.

“Di-day…. “
