Marrying the Old Virgin
Bucin Aroma

Alisha came home with an erratic feeling. The doctor said that his body was in a weak condition. He was too much stress because he thought about the heavy things that befell his family.

And even more sadly, Alisha tried to call to report the condition of her pregnancy, but the man did not pick up his phone and instead rejected his call.

Whether because Alisha is older than Bian, she still thinks well even though her heart feels bitter. The two-year age difference should not be too different from the maturity side of a person. But the maturity of Bian and Alisha not only appear and grow because of their age, but also because of their different lives.

Alisha assures herself that Bian does have an extraordinary busy life. She also knew that her husband's company was in a state of crisis and alarm. Although she still hopes to go through her pregnancy with her husband beside her, Alisha still swallows her wishes and tries to understand Bian.

Not so with Bian. When Alisha tries to understand her position, Bian forgets Alisha a little. He turned into a figure who forgot about family and immersed himself in work.

After meeting the girl named Diamond for the first time, the intensity of their meeting began to increase. Plus David who usually met clients with him, now he began to divert to do other work. He too often left home in the morning and went home when it was too late.

Like that day, they end up getting involved in one of the biggest fights of the first time in their household life. As usual Alisha prepared breakfast for her husband who would do many meetings. While waiting for Bian who was bathing, Alisha prepared clothes and all the necessities her husband needed.

When he organized the files and put them in Bian's briefcase, Bian's phone rang. Seeing that there is an incoming message and is thought to be from his phone, Alisha actually opened Bian's phone which does have the same model and color as hers.

Alisha was quite surprised because she could not open the phone she took. He only realized that it was not his cellphone after several times wrongly entering the code he thought was correct. After realizing that it was Bian's phone, Alisha wanted to put it back on top of Bian's bag. However, he abandoned his intentions after seeing an incoming message that caught his attention.

Mas Bian, later to be found at the hotel usually yes

Alisha was stunned after reading the message that appeared on the phone's front screen pop up. The thought that her husband had been having an affair with another woman possessed her. How not, there was a woman who contacted her husband in very suspicious language. The words “mas” and “hotel” alone have made him shudder. He did not expect Bian who had loved him so far could do such a thing, especially when he was pregnant with his child.

As soon as Bian came out of the bathroom, Alisha immediately approached her husband and tried to confirm it to him directly.

“Darling, who's this message from?" ask Alisha slowly.

Bian is shocked to see Alisha unlocking her phone without her permission. Unexpectedly the first reaction was the annoyance shown by taking the phone out of Alisha's hands.

“What the fuck are you! Why did you open my phone?” yell Bian.

Alisha did not answer. All he did was hold his stomach with a sad and confused face.

“Sorry..” says Alisha.

He immediately turned around leaving Bian glued. Alisha tries to shift her mind by cleaning the kitchen. While Bian just yelled and covered his face with both his big hands.

They don't talk until Bian starts the car. Along with Alisha who was going out shopping for her kitchen needs, she suddenly felt her stomach ache tremendously. The pain was so unbearable that he screamed and started to fall.

Seeing his wife screaming in pain until she fell to the floor, Bian immediately ran up to him.

“You why? Does your stomach hurt?” bian asked in a panic.

Alisha just screamed in pain and could not answer Bian's question. Without waiting for a long time Bian immediately carried Alisha and took her into a car to immediately go to the hospital.

Along the way, Bian's heart suddenly crumbled. He felt guilty for making his wife experience something like that. Bian drove his car quickly because he could not bear to see his wife in more pain.

When Alisha was examined, Bian looked very nervous. He kept moving around here and there before the doctor called him inside.

Bian looked at Alisha's increasingly pale face and looked sad. He walked up to her and swept her from the bed to a seat in front of the doctor's desk.

“Are you husband of Mother Alisha?” ask the doctor.

“Iya, Doc. Is my wife okay?” ask Bian.

“What can I know what your job is?”

Bian seemed confused because the doctor asked about his work instead of discussing his wife's health.

The doctor sighed and looked at Alisha who just looked down and said nothing.

“Bapak should pay more attention to the content of the Father's wife. The first pregnancy is usually still prone especially if the mother is stressed” said the doctor.

Bian is like being smitten by reality. He regretted that he never cared about his wife again. He regrets his attitude and actions that always yell at Alisha to make him more stressed. Bian regretted his act of neglecting his wife's existence for the sake of his work. And what he regretted the most was that he almost put his son's life at risk.

After Bian brings Alisha home, she cancels all important appointments with her clients and business partners. Bian took Alisha to the bedroom and told her to rest. But when Bian was about to get out of the room, Alisha pulled Bian's hand until she stopped her steps.

“What's up? Do you want anything?” ask Bian.

Alisha started to shed her tears. With a trembling voice she ventured to ask her husband again.

“Can I ask who the girl is?” ask Alisha lirih.

Bian was silent too. He seemed confused as to how to start this sensitive conversation. Finally he crouched down sitting in front of Alisha. Bian held Alisha's hand and looked at the face of the wife who was starting to look sad and full of anxiety.

"I'm sorry” said Bian.

Alisha's cry began to break as Bian let out his apology. In Alisha's mind at the time, her husband was trying to admit something he didn't want to hear.

“Do not apologize!” reply Alisha.

“I'm sorry, because it hurts you” said Bian gently.

“She Diamond. People who are willing to become investors in my company” replied Bian.

He continues the story of Diamond after convincing Alisha that he was ready to hear it. Many times Bian asks her if this story will not stress her and interfere with her pregnancy. Finally after Alisha was convinced, Bian continued with Diamond.

Diamond is indeed the only person who is willing to become an investor when everyone he offers rejects it. Diamonds are investing tens of billions to help Bian's company bounce back. It's just that Diamond does not want to call Bian with the name Father. He thinks it's too tacky and stiff. Hence they agreed to call each other names and Diamond called him with the word “mas”.

And regarding meeting at the hotel, it was solely because Diamond was staying at a hotel at the moment. Bian dares to convince Alisha that her mistakes are just too busy that she feels ignored by him. Bian dares to guarantee that he never gets caught up in his mind that he will cheat on Alisha.

Hearing Bian's story and speech, Alisha's cheeks were increasingly flooded with clear water flowing from the tip of her eyes. She hugged Bian tightly until her husband laughed as he felt tight.

“Awas not tight later deduct baby kegencet” said Bian while laughing.

After hearing Alisha's soft laughter, Bian let go of his wife's embrace. He saw the face of Alisha who felt increasingly thin. The tears that remained on his wife's face.

“I'm sorry” said Bian again.

“There is one more..” says Alisha.

“Hm?”

“Don't snap at me again!” alisha lirih.

Bian was surprised but soon he covered his laughter, because he knew what the next sentence would come out of his wife's mouth.

“Iya, you are older.” Bian replied followed by the laughter of the two of them.

Bian hugged Alisha. In her husband's warm embrace, Alisha asks Bian not to leave her.

“I'm sorry, Darling.”
