Marrying the Depression Master
CH-153 Two Months Later

Ara stood in front of a calendar hanging on the wall. Round it one of the dates there with a bolpoint in his hand. It's been 3 months Jack has no news, his stomach has begun to round. It felt like her tears had dried up, continued to cry holding back the longing for her husband.

Her increasing gestational age made her feel heavier through her days. No husband would stroke her back if she felt tired. No one spoils him when his cravings want something. Having a pregnancy alone is like being in a large room but feels crowded.

He looked at the numbers, then at the wall of his room. Near the wedding photos, there are already 3 new photos attached there with a smaller size. The first photo when she was 1 month pregnant, her stomach has not been seen, she was deliberately photographed using streech clothes so that she could show the shape of her stomach.

The second photo when she was two months pregnant, still not seen rounded, the last photo of her pregnancy is now 3 months, has begun to look rounded even though it is not large.

The photos were made as Jack wanted, wanting to document his pregnancy. Is this what Jack was worried about so he asked for it? He couldn't be contacted during his term of service? Just a phone does not exist, it feels so quiet and empty, every time the call is just a tone of voice tutut only.

Ara sat back on the bedside but was still staring at the wall. Jack gave her a lot of wealth, but it all felt meaningless in her absence. Luxury homes, good cars, a lot of money, food whatever is available, want to buy branded goods stay pointed, whatever the price of the goods he wants to buy can he buy, he can buy, but it was really unhappy when I realized Jack wasn't there.

Ara sat in the doldrums, the tears were hatched again on her cheeks. Had Jack been on duty, he probably wouldn't have felt this lost if he could still be called, still be able to hear his voice. It's like disappearing into the earth.

Suddenly Ara remembered someone, yes Jack's uncle, he had an uncle in Paris who was also a military man, did he have to see him? Maybe his uncle knows where Jack is?

Ara immediately got up from her seat and immediately walked out of her room. He's looking for his mother-in-law in his study. Mrs.Inez has indeed started taking care of her own company with Mr.Ferdi. But because he promised that he would accompany Ara so Mrs.Inez did more work at home.

Ara knocked on the door of Ms.Inez's study.

“Log in!” the voice of her mother-in-law.

Ara immediately opened the door, she saw her mother-in-law was there simeja work.

“Mrs are busy?” ask Ara.

“No, why?” ask Mrs.Inez.

“I want to go to Paris,” replied Ara.

“Ke Paris? For what?” ask Mrs.Inez, astonishment.

“I want to ask you how Jack is,” replied Ara.

Ms.Inezpun is silent.

“Jack has an uncle who is a military man also in Paris, I have been to his house, I will see his uncle,”.

Hearing it made Ms.Inez's heart feel sad. Ara is pregnant now, must miss Jack very much. Unlike him even though Jack was his son, he had already gotten used to Jack's absence all along.

“Do you need me to accompany?” ask Mrs.Inez.

“No, no need, I will leave alone,” replied Ara.

Mrs.Inezpun nodded.

You do not go alone, you can take Mr. Beni,” said Mrs.Inez.

Ara was silent for a while and then she nodded. After that he came out of his room Mrs.Inez and looked for Mr. Beni.

“What's the Madam?” asked Mr. Beni, met with Ara the middle room.

“Please prepare my departure for Paris,” replied Ara, making Pak Beni surprised and looking at him.

“I want to meet his Uncle Jack, I want to ask him for help to find out where Jack is,” Ara said.

Mr. Beni even fell silent, there was sadness also in his heart to see his Master's wife who was pregnant waiting for the return of his Master who had no news.

“Pak Beni can come,” says Ara.

“Good Mistress, I will prepare,” replied Mr. Beni.

Ara nodded, then went to the terrace, despite not knowing what to do on the terrace. He just stood there staring at the gate, imagining Jack coming home, his car entering that gate. But the truth is that it's just a fantasy. He just went back home, getting ready to go to Paris.

One day had passed, Ara had already arrived in Paris. Every time he saw the street entering his house Jack made him feel happy, because of the beautiful scenery, especially when passing through the fountain. The cute shadow of her children ran around the fountain, then the smaller, crying woman was then ganged up by Jack. What a beautiful shadow.

But it was then, now in his shadow, that his son cried alone near the water and he who came to him and comforted him, only he because Jack was not with them. And the son asked in tears, Where is my father? It felt so bitter that shadow.

Suddenly his eyes returned to tears, it turned out that the shadow never knew whether it would come true or just a dream. She will have a baby with Jack, but no Jack with her and their baby.

They were in front of the big house. Ara went straight to her room and rested. The plan was after a few hours of rest he was going to Uncle Favier's house. He saw again the photo of the bride who was also installed on the wall, just like the one in his house. The spacious room felt so quiet.

A few hours later, Ara asked Beni to take her to Uncle Favier's house.

Stared at the house that is not much different from the magnificent home of Jack.

When he got out of the car, a pia yeng approached him. Mr. Beni directly spoke to the man in French.

“Mistress, let's wait inside,” take Mr. Beni.

Ara did not say much, she immediately entered the house. I see that vast space. This is where the party was held when Uncle Favier retired. Ara also turned her head towards the stairs, when she first saw Jack wearing his service clothes. He still remembered the first time he saw the man, the man was very handsome and dashing, sometimes feeling disbelief that the man who appeared on the stairs was his sum. But now her husband had no news.

Mr. Beni was standing not far from Ara.

The man approached Ara looking at her unblinking, then at Pak Beni who nodded her head.

Ara immediately got up from her seat

“What Sir Uncle Favier?” ask Ara.

“Iya,” replied Uncle Pavier.

Ara immediately reached out her hand and was greeted by Uncle Favier.

“I Arasi, his wife Jack,” says Ara.

“You're his wife Jack?” uncle Favier asked, smiling happily.

“True, Uncle,”Ara replied.

“It's nice to meet you, I told Jack to bring you here,” said UncleFavier, while

smilingly.

Ara smiled at him.

“You're not with Jack?” uncle Favier asked, looking at Ara and then at Mr. Beni.

“No Uncle, instead I came here, want to ask Uncle for help to find out where Jack is? And when can he go home?” answer Ara.

Hearing him made Uncle Favier surprised.

“Searching Jack?” tanyakanya.

Arapun nodded.

“Sit down, we talk,” says Uncle Favier.

Arapun immediately sat in the guest seat as well as Uncle Favier.

“Tell me how the story is you have to find Jack?” ask Uncle Favier.

“Jack went on duty already 3 months ago, but he has no news at all,” replied Ara.

“Jack go where? Does he talk?” ask Uncle Favier.

“Katanay to Conflict Country,” replied Ara.

Uncle Favier was silent, he knew that GIGN sent his troops there but did not know that Jack was sent there.

“So Jack sent there?” ask Uncle Favier.

“Uncle knows?” asked Ara, expectantly.

“So you have no news at all from Jack?” ask Uncle Favier.

“Can Uncle help me, I wonder if he's okay?  I want to tell her that I am pregnant,” replied Ara, holding her stomach.

Uncle Favier looked surprised again, then he smiled happily.

“You're pregnant? It's happy! Jack would love to hear it!” yells.

Arapun nodded with a smile.

“You wait, try me ask, because this is actually very confidential information, so can not easily get it,” said Uncle Favier.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket, called GIGN's office and spoke French.

Ara waited for him with anxious hopes, hopefully she could get word of Jack's whereabouts, or maybe she could call and talk to him.

Ara looked at Uncle Favier who was calling impatiently. Hopefully Uncle Favier can get his information.

Make Readers who are still loyal, I try to finish this novel in this month. But after this maybe I will go on hiatus first from MT.  It's been 2 years since I wrote here from scratch, for a small writer like me to get readers it's not easy.

My husband turned out to be a billionaire I might post on another pf.

For those who still want to read later I will inform where it will be. Actually here I still have a hanging novel, many are asking to continue and actually have a contract, but how about later if there is time for writing I finish.

Who are still loyal to this chapter, although the story is slow and long up, but still want to patiently follow, thank you very much for the support.
