Miss Alexa
Meet Clarisa

"I'm sorry! I believe you won't act that bad." Arkha grasping Hanum's hand made the girl who pursed her lips pull her hand and move to clean the dirty dishes.

"Num." call Arkha.

"Stop bragging!" ketus Hanum's. His eyes are already warming. But, still being held back from shedding tears, Hanum felt that her efforts to compensate for her husband's role had been in vain. Still, he couldn't win Arkha's heart.

"Hanum..don't misunderstand me!" Arkha tried to tail behind Hanum until the girl placed the plate and twisted her body. His face looked up sharply at the figure in front of him with emotions he was ready to explode.

"Misunderstand? Is it because I always think of you as a child, that you always play with my feelings?" hearing the word 'you' from Hanum his heart felt stifling.

"I know everything, I also understand if you love Rania and just expect Rania to be your wife. Even though I know everything, but I'm still trying to fight for this relationship, trying to be the woman you deserve to be your wife. But, what's the result? You always hurt my feelings."The words of Hanum just flowed. Hanum could no longer hold back his tears. Arkha who saw it could only peck, staring at the look of the eyes of sadness and disappointment that radiated there. He did not expect that his attitude had hurt his wife too much.

For a moment Hanum was silent, he took a deep breath to unravel the tightness in his chest.

"Hanum is not sep... "

"We'd better finish this ridiculous wedding." Hanum interrupted Arkha's sentence. His voice was so bright, but his gaze was so sharp. As Arkha was about to grab his hand, rushing Hanum immediately pulled him.

"My decision is round. Thank you for saving me." Hanum left Arkha who could now only look at him. Somehow his heart ached so much to hear all Hanum's words. Not only his expression but all of his words gave some distance between them.

"Hanum, there will be no farewell. We will learn to accept this relationship, complement each other." Arkha said while in front of Hanum who was already sitting on the edge of the bed.

"While we will dive into our feelings and set right each other's intentions for this marriage." Hearing Hanum Arkha's sentence was only dumbstruck, his tongue felt faint. He did not expect Hanum to speak like that. His words were so firm and struck his heart.

"Don't think about Papa. Because we live it. I'll arrange it so that Papa can understand." continued Hanum, the girl who began to study adulthood is the type of person who tries to think openly and realistically.

Arkha could only weakly sit on the sofa. His eyes were not separated from the girl in front of him. He was so sorry for being late to reinforce his feelings that he always hurt his wife's feelings even though sometimes it wasn't him intentionally.

They were silent for quite a while until finally, Arkha decided to clean herself up towards the bathroom.

There was no conversation after that, they played with each other's minds in different spaces. Hanum chooses to remain in the room, while Arkha chooses to sit on the balcony. The man who was right now was riled up by Hanum's decision had not been able to say anything. He had known how to respond to Hanum's emotions until he chose to let Hanum's emotions subside a little.

The luxury car went inside, the yard of the old model house. A woman in elegant style got out of her car.

"Assynoltom... "

Hearing someone say hello, Alexa rushed to open the door. Instantly he was stunned when he saw his mother-in-law standing with a smile on her lips.

"Mama... " Clear Alexa still with muffle his surprise. She was a little awkward because all this time she had not lied to her mother-in-law if she stayed at Mama Zoya's house during the first trimester.

"How are you, baby?" gayatri asked as they hugged each other.

"Lexa is good, Ma." replied Alexa softly, she was so shy when the gentle woman still displayed a sincere smile even though she had lied to her.

"Let's go in, Ma." take Alexa they directly walk into the dining table area to put by the one brought by Mama-in-law.

"I'm sorry Lexa, Ma. It's not honest that Alexa lives in Oma's house" Alexa said, eroding her guilt. Meanwhile, Bi Romlah prepares warm tea for guests.

"Mama understands, baby. It's just that Mama's very worried about you and your future grandchild." The graceful woman smiled. Mama Gayatri was very attentive.

A step made the two women look. Shakti walked inside looking for her mother. She did not expect that if her mother finally got here, she also hoped that her mother would not know her case with Clarisa.

"Mama why don't you tell Shakti if Mama comes?" shakti approached Mama Gayatri and his wife.

"Most reasons if you have to tell you first" replied Mama Gayatri. He knows that something is wrong with their relationship.

"Shak, you'll take Lexa to check the contents, right?" Gayatri just wanted to make sure that Shakti also acted as a standby husband.

"Connected Mama is here Alexa decided to delay to check, Ma. Tomorrow, right, Mas?" Alexa immediately interrupts him wanting to go with Shakti.

"You're not in trouble, are you? If only because Mama, Mama can go straight back, Mama just wants you to make sure the state of your future grandchild."

"No, Ma. We're doing fine. Yeah, right, Ay!" Shakti approached the tiny shoulder of the woman still sitting next to him. Alexa just smiled, returning Mama Gayatri's smile. A chance for Shakti to channel his longing a little though he knows it without his wife's willingness.

"Mama, relieved to hear you're okay. Oh yeah Shak, if Alexa wants to stay home alone. You can buy a house for Alexa. Mama is okay alone, as long as you are happy." said Mama Gayatri at length. She assumed Alexa wanted to take care of her own little family.

After Mama Gayatri came home, Shakti and Alexa decided to go to the Siska doctor's clinic. They left together because of Mama Gayatri's insistence.

On the way they remained silent. Alexa just stared out the window, while Shakti occasionally scanned his gaze from the street in front then towards his wife.

Truly, the man already misses the figure of Alexa who used to be. He himself could not find a way to convince his wife if she had never cheated on him.

"How many times have you spent together?" ask Alexa without seeing Shakti.

He is still curious as to the extent of Shakti's relationship with his ex.

"meaning?" Shakti did not want to rashly answer his wife.

"Clarisa is sexy, I know no man can resist her charm. From head to toe she always started emitting an aura that could invite male desire." Alexa further enhances the meaning of the question.

"I've never done far, Ay. I never made love to her. Just with you, Ay, I do it give love completely." Shakti grabbed his wife's tiny hand. His smile expands when there is no rejection, must Alexa still not want to look at him.

It doesn't feel like they've reached Doctor Siska's clinic. Shakti opened the car door for his wife. How unhappy, efforts to convince Alexa began to get a good response.

Shakti continued to hold his wife's hand towards the examination room. She also couldn't wait to see the development of her baby. Really, he felt his life was back. Just a few steps away, they arrived in front of Doctor Siska's room, they were surprised by Clarisa who came out alone from the obgyn's room.

Alexa stopped her steps. He was shocked to see the figure they had just talked about. Neither did Shskti, he did not expect to meet Clarisa.

Alexa asked for her gaze, from Clarisa then towards her husband. In fact, he also staggered to look at Clarisa's slightly bloated stomach, making Alexa's feelings even more unfounded. Full of curiosity and anxiety.

"How are you, Shak?" sapa Clarisa broke the silence between the three. But, Shakti just fell silent, she looked back at Alexa.

"I really want to talk to you.But, it turns out you can not be contacted." continued Clarisa make Alexa's face reddened. Not yet neutralizing his feelings. A pretty painful feeling came back to greet him.

"Mother Alexa Shalma Aqilla." call Assistant Doctor Siska, which means it's her turn in to get checked out.

Alexa walked in, followed by Shakti. Had anyone been able to read Shakti's feelings at this moment, the man who was watching his wife was also so chaotic. With Alexa's cheap, flushed face she knew Alexa was holding back her anger. Oh my God why is my path always complicated? shakti in heart. He was no longer focused on his wife's examination.
