Mom For Alleta
Chapter 38: The Wound.

Allan kissed the back of his wife's hand after pinning his gift ring. Raina's tears kept flowing despite her several times.

"i really love you very much rain". Allan's eyes look so shady, Raina would have loved to hug her husband if there was no one else in there.

His lips were locked, and not a single word could come out of it. Never imagined by Raina, a poor girl with a bleak future could get this kind of treatment from a man. In his mind he would only marry a private employee with a small salary, live in a rundown rented house, have two children who made it difficult to rack his brain to make ends meet, neighbors who sneer because of unpaid debts and are already in debt again, plus homeowners who continue to collect rent. Raina shuddered, she was not strong in imagining if that was really the case.

"honey, how come?" Allan held onto Raina's shoulder worriedly, what she did was a mistake that made Raina cry sobbing like this.

"nothing mas". Raina answered Allan stammeringly.

"we'll eat first, baby". Raina followed Allan's orders, slowly bribing food into his mouth, Allan looked at his wife's face that looked puffy from crying a lot.

On the way home Raina continued to hold Allan's hand, occasionally she glanced at her husband's perfect face, her lips were ceaselessly smiling, the happiness that flowed through her heart was like spreading the petals of multicolored flowers.

"mas, thank you". A friendly kiss felt Allan touch the back of his hand.

"i'm the one who should thank Rain, you've been the perfect wife and mother to Aleta". Allan pulled his wife's hand back, doing the same.

That night, they reveal each other's feelings even though it's a little too late, they seem to be doing remedial for their love story, repeating chapters that were once missed to improve their value.

Allan fully realized, that now he is not him, not Allan who can go home and go as he pleases, not Allan who is free to sleep outside the house without anyone looking.

Slowly Raina changes everything, completely changes the household Sebastian family without doing anything, Raina just breathes and everything changes just like that, miraculously.

Unknowingly the car had gotten into the garage, Raina hooked her hand to her husband's arm, they walked in with a feeling that had just been refilled. The love they once doubted has now become a firm line connecting their hearts.

"i took a rain shower".

"yes mas". Raina takes off her dress, takes the bathrobe, initially Raina wants to catch up with Allan to the bathroom, but the man refuses.

After more than 20 minutes Allan came out in a bathrobe, now it was Raina's turn to clean up. Accidentally he glanced at the gauze covered in Betadine protruding from inside the trash can, soon Raina made sure by pulling it out, it was not just gauze, it was, but there were also infusion bottles and some cotton swabs full of blood. Without waiting for long, Raina came out again from the bathroom.

"mas, are you hurt?" Allan who was shocked to hear Raina question immediately stood up.

"lu... what wounds, no?" Allan shook her head resolutely, but the look in her agitated eyes made Raina easily aware of her husband's lies.

Raina mengambil dua langkah maju, mendekatkan diri kepada Allan, menarik tali jubah mandinya, Allan yang terkejut hanya bisa pasrah.

A bandage stuck to Allan's waist, Raina covered her mouth, she screeched. His eyes turned to Allan, the man looked down preparing to get a question from his wife.

"mas, ini kenapa?" suara Raina lirih, perlahan dia menyentuh luka suaminya.

"this. got celurit". replied Allan carelessly.

"can you?"

"yesterday want to be in begal, I keep fighting it so gini deh, maybe if I don't volunteer won't be rich gini".

"honey, why not a story?" one soft caress Raina's hand rubbed Allan's cheek, their gaze met, inexplicably Allan was happy with this wound, because Allan's wound could see how unfortunately Raina was to him.

"sorry rain, I worry you, but today I want to make you happy, but I make you sad again".

"happy? I've been happy mas although you didn't do rich things earlier, with you, Aleta grew up well, father and mother healthy, I've been very happy".

"what am I supposed to say Rain? you are too good for me who sins a lot".

Raina wrapped Allan's lips with one finger, then she put her husband down on the bed, Raina carefully opened the bandage wrapped in Allan's wounds, seen dozens of stitches lined up neatly there. Not just one or two, but dozens, so long and deep, his heart was sliced, Allan was wounded but he was crying.

"Rain? why cry again?"

"it must hurt". Raina put back the bandage she had opened.

"sick". Allan grimaced, when he felt his stomach slightly depressed by Raina's fingers.

"mas.. sorry".

"nothing dear".

Aleta seemed enthusiastic about soaking a surprise lol that her mother bought her father in a basin, Raina sat next to him while reading a book, a book that she got from her husband's private library, allan just laid down his body with his head on his wife's lap.

"mama, look at this coming out with pink hair, so Aleta's got pink, blue as purple huh?" Aleta cried out hysterically when she saw the little doll that was inside the lump of cement worth a quintal of rice.

"Aleta likes?" ask Raina.

"likes, thank you pa, thank you ma". The friendly embrace Aleta gave to her mother, made Allan became envious.

"mama who was hugged? that's buying it with papa money you know". Allan's tease.

"thank papa". Aleta hugged Allan by the neck and kissed her cheek.

"this one hasn't". Allan pointed next to her cheek, Aleta immediately kissed right at the tip of her index face.

"excuse me buk, no one's nyariin father in securrity". said Aini, he realized his presence disturbed the warmth of his employer's small family who was chatting.

"who's mbak?" ask Raina.

"let's go in". Allan's orders.

"yes sir". Aini soon passes, Allan moves to the living room, Raina still accompanies their son to play.

"Aleta, this is it baby, mama, look at your guest first".

"yes ma". With a little sneaking Raina walked towards the living room, there were some plainclothes people sitting quietly with Allan. They looked serious, even though they spoke little but as if they understood each other's gestures.

"who are they?" ask Raina in your heart.
