MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
PERSIST

As the days go by, Alex and Mega's household gets worse. Alex even let Mega out of their room. Indeed Mega who wanted it, he did not want to sleep in the room because Bunga often came there and spent time with Alex in the room.

"Where are you going?" alex asked as Mega brought her things.

"I don't want to sleep in this room anymore mas, the room you've been using with that woman. I'd rather sleep in the other room, I'm not sincere in one bed with that woman."

Alex smiled cynically, "Whatever!" said it.

The answer that was able to make Mega shed tears. Alex didn't even try to hold back let alone apologize.

"I miss you, I miss my old husband. Where were you before? Why are you so different now? I don't recognize you any more mas.." Mega said in between her sobs.

"This is the real me!" answer Alex. The man's gaze was so sharp, staring at Mega like staring at his great enemy.

But one thing kept Mega afloat, as Alex stared at her stomach, the man's gaze seemed sad and gentle. Mega is sure in the heart of the man still holds affection for him and his future son.

"All right, keep on being you now. I'll stay, I love you, I won't give up."

"WHATEVER!"

Mega could only let out a long sigh, her chest completely congested. But like he said, he won't just give up.

Once again he turned his head, looking at Alex who turned his face. Alex really did not try to hold it, making Mega again continue his steps and pull the lever of his suitcase. It will occupy the room below.

"In a moment, I just need a minute Mega!" Muttered Alex.

At lunchtime, Mega was preparing the food she had just cooked on the dining table. A soft smile was engraved on his lips, hoping that this time Alex would eat his cooking. He missed the words of the man, who said that he would eat whatever Mega cooked for him, even though it did not taste as good as his mother's cooking, he said, but Alex still appreciates Mega's efforts to prepare food for him.

With hopeful steps, Mega swings her legs slowly, climbing the stairs to Alex's former room as well. An enlarged stomach makes its movement limited. He is very careful, besides, he also gets tired easily.

Even so, he did everything himself. Starting from cleaning the apartment, cooking, washing clothes are also other things. Although he occasionally rested, but he never neglected his duties as a wife. Mega really changed, the woman learned to be a better woman.

Tok tok tok tok

Very carefully he knocked on the door, afraid that Alex was resting inside.

"Mas, lunch is ready. Can you open the door?" said it.

There was no answer from inside, making Mega sigh uneasily. "Mas, I'll take the food to the room, will you?"

Alex still didn't answer. Mega decides to prepare a meal for Alex and takes him to the man's room. It's back down.

"Mas, I brought you some food. Can I come in?" She asked, one hand knocked on the door of the room, the other hand held a tray filled with food for her husband.

There was still no answer from inside, he tried to open the door.

FLECKISH

Turns out the door is not in the key, slowly Mega entered the room. His eyes were open, Alex wasn't there. But from the sound of water gurgling that could be heard from the bathroom, Mega knew Alex was there.

Patiently he waited for Alex, while cultivating courage and hope that Alex would have lunch with him. Really he misses those times, when he and Alex ate together, when Alex spoiled him, also when Alex praised the cuisine even though the taste of the cuisine is not too delicious.

Her curved lips carved a smile as the shadow of her being together with Alex again swirled in her mind.

"I'm a fool, if I could turn back the clock, I would be honest and tell you everything.."
