When Lana wakes up from her short sleep, Tommy's apartment is different, not the same as when he came. Lana got out of bed and went out of the room hungry. Yesterday afternoon he had gone to lunch with Fiona, but he had only eaten a little because talking to Fiona was more interesting than he had ever thought. They talk until they forget about time.
The situation in the living room is already neat! No more bottles of alhokol that smell pungent, scattered on the floor. No more packets of food or pea skin scattered. The smell of the room is also different, becoming fragrant but not stinging.
Tommy is sitting at one of the work desks in the corner of the living room, realizing that Lana has woken up. He immediately got up and approached Lana.
"You're awake! How's sleep?" ask Tommy awkwardly.
"Lumayan but less long. I'm hungry! Is there food?"
"There was. I ordered some food because I don't know what you want to eat! I don't want to wake you from sleep either!" said Tommy.
"Anything, I've never really chosen food."
"Let's sit down at the dinner table!" bring Tommy.
Tommy and Lana walk to the dining table and sit on each of the chairs. Tommy had prepared and opened the food he ordered on the table, along with a plate to eat.
"Where do you eat?" ask Tommy.
"I want to eat rice with grilled chicken. It looks so good! The vegetables want too! I want all!" said Lana.
"Did you not eat?"
"I was in the morning until noon at the hospital. Staying in the hospital, I met Fiona and we went to lunch until the afternoon!"
"Fiona? Fiona Dave's wife?"
"Yes! Which one else? She's pregnant too!"
"Thank you?" tommy hesitated because he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Yes. Turns out she's been three weeks pregnant. It's almost the same as my pregnancy!"
"Lana. I want to say something..."
"Tell me!" lana said and started eating her food.
"I want to apologize for what happened a few days ago!"
"We don't have to talk about it anymore!"
"But.." said Tommy.
"Tommy, if I don't forgive you or care about you, I won't come here! Fiona also helped to explain things to me! You should thank him!" lana said firmly.
"So what about our wedding plans?"
"I haven't thought about that! But something I realized was that I was a selfish woman! I didn't want to know that the man I was going to marry turned out to have feelings for another woman! I told you that I only wanted a full commitment when I said I was willing to marry you!"
"And you'll get it!" cut Tommy.
"I am willing to commit fully! Even if you don't allow me to see Fiona again, I'm ready!"
"I'm not that bad! You can of course meet him! But what happens if you break that commitment?"
"I'm willing to make a deal with you! If I break my commitment and have an affair with anyone, then I will give all my possessions and will only wear the clothes I wore that day!"
"I'm not interested in treasure." said Lana sadly.
In Lana's heart, she doesn't care if Tommy will give her all. Lana just wanted the man's heart for her.
Is this how it feels to fall in love with one hand? thought Lana.
Lana could not say the words she had thought about in her head from earlier. He loves Tommy but the man has already made it clear that he does not have any feelings for him.
Is it with marriage that I can tie the man up and hope that one day Tommy will fall in love with him too? inner Lana.
"Commitment and... "
"Commitment and what?" ask Tommy who is impatient. Tommy could see the look on Lana's face, who thought hard but was reluctant to tell her. It felt like Tommy wanted to shake Lana's slim body. But he did not do it because Lana was pregnant with her child.
"commitment only! Did you throw away her engagement ring?"
Tommy still doubts that that's all the girl wants, but he doesn't want to make Lana angry again. Then Tommy did not want to ask more and disturb the comfort of the girl.
"I almost threw it away when I was drunk, but I ended up keeping it. I took it and put it in my pants pocket!"
While Lana is asleep, Tommy looks at the girl and is about to put the engagement ring back on Lana's ring finger. But Tommy's heart feels tight and doubt that if Lana wakes up and finds out that the ring has been re-attached then the girl will get angry and throw the ring again.
"Are you going to give it back to me or not?"
"of course! Of course I'll give it to you!" tommy said as he pulled the diamond ring out of his pocket.
"That means we're still getting married?" continued Tommy.
"Yes. For our son's sake!" lana flat said. Lana tries to cover up her feelings so that Tommy doesn't notice them.
"For our son!" tommy agreed.
"What about the previous rule about sleeping together after marriage?" ask Tommy again.
"We can sleep in the same bed but for more, you won't force me, will you?"
In the girl's mind, every time they had intercourse, the girl's feelings were getting deeper and deeper. But for Tommy, when the relationship is intimate, he does not wear his feelings at all and it makes Lana sad.
"No. Of course I won't force you! We will do so only with your consent!" tommy agreed.
Tommy already knew the consequences when he forced his will on Lana. After seeing Lana's terrified and disgusted facial expression, Tommy is always haunted by it. Some days Tommy can't forget that and then run away from reality by drinking alcohol every day. At such times, Tommy feels sad and angry. Why he could get out of control and do such a disgusting thing. But now that Lana was already in front of him and did not want to bring up the bad thing again, then Tommy could no longer stem his feelings of gratitude!
"After eating I'll be home!"
"It's been a night. Stay here!"
"But I don't have any more clothes here."
"There is! Because you only take clean clothes while your dirty clothes are still in the basket in the bathroom. I washed it!"
"thank you. Then I'll stay the night! I'm done eating. So full. Thank you!"
"Then go take a shower and rest. I'll clean everything and wash the dishes!"
"Is that really okay? Don't you want me to help you?" ask Lana doubtfully.
"It's okay. You haven't had a shower. Take a shower and rest in the room. Your clothes are already in the closet, the usual place!"
Lana, who is tired, doesn't argue with Tommy anymore and immediately goes to the bathroom because the bathroom is located in the room. On the way to the room, Lana turned to the man she loved and said "Tommy..."
"Yes?"
"Other times if you're in trouble, don't drink alcohol again. Not good for your health!"
"If you want to include that in our covenant letter, it won't be a problem! I won't drink anymore!" tommy's Promise.
Lana just nodded and walked back towards the bathroom to take a shower. Lana is relieved to hear Tommy's promise that he will not harm himself by drinking alcohol. Lana was a little surprised to see Tommy in such a mess when he came and she did not want to see Tommy in such a state anymore. Tommy who looks chaotic, makes his heart sad. Lana really loves Tommy!
