My mother's nanny
chapter 35
The next morning, breakfast this time was quiet and bland. Diah still had breakfast with Miss Dewi and Ardi. After breakfast, Ardi went to the office. There Ardi had met with one of the clients and old friends. Talked long and about many things. Even about personal things.
"Anger is common, quarrel, make up, go, and search. And it all ends in our bed." Ehsan, Ardi's friend and business partner, chuckles at the love trip with his wife."We just need to open up to each other, if it's wrong, apologize. Do not prestige to the wife, her name is husband and wife, inside we have seen and both know. His name is two heads two personalities in one roof, different is common. Isn't it because we can have children? Hahaha, if the same stem is not going to be." Kelakar Ehsan again, Ardi also won with a small smile.
"Buy it, flowers, chocolate or your wife's favorite meal, then take her to the contest, talking heart to heart. I'm sure, if your minds are both open, this storm will soon pass."
Advice from Ehsan, open Ardi's eyes. True, indeed all this time they are busy with their respective assumptions, busy with thoughts and feelings that are considered right regardless of the partner. Ardi became excited again. He wanted to persuade Diah to remain in one ark with him. The ark that is currently being shaken, is not due to a storm. But because they chose to paddle in a different direction.
After work, Ardi took the time to stop by a flower shop. Buy a fresh and beautiful rose. Not to forget Ardi also bought Diah's favorite food. With a smile that expands, Ardi drives his car towards the road home.
The black car was perfectly parked in the carport. With carefree steps, Ardi entered the house. Sure, a flower and a box of brownies were already in hand. Ardi went straight to Diah's room. The door of the room was slightly open, Ardi knocked before pushing it wide open.
"I..." Ardi stepped into the room, a step that slowly slowed down to see Diah's activity was arranging her clothes in a travel bag.
"What's up, sir."
"Why pack things?"
"Here, I'm gonna get out of the house tonight."
"What?" Anger and anger filled the space in Ardi's chest. Just now that he had intended to persuade his wife to refer, Diah had even packed up to leave tonight. With a cold face, Ardi threw a bouquet of flowers in hand and threw it on the bed. Right next to the travel bag Diah which is still open and half filled.
Diah stared at the flower, then grew a box of brownies in white crackles that were thrown from her husband. Diah then turned to look at Ardi who looked annoyed.
"Is this sir?"
"You think?"
Diah still stared at Ardi who was getting angry.
"Stop being selfish, Diah, you're leaving when my son isn't even born. Where are your brain and heart?"
Diah's eyes glazed over, the pain of hearing the words that felt so overwhelming to her heart.
"Are you going to take my son too?"
"Master... I'll be back after this child is born."
"Lied!" Cut Ardi raised his voice. Diah was made to be surprised. Ardi walked over, clutching Diah's arm and staring very sharply. "Don't fool me, you'll go with him and leave me, right?"
Diah's body trembled, never had he seen Ardi so angry. No, Diah saw it once, when Ardi talked to Mila first. Now Diah feels worse, even more so than Mila. Diah was getting scared, the pain of Ardi's hand clutching on her arm made the tiny body tremble even more. Slowly a clear crystal slid from his cheek.
Diah stared at Ardi's bead with wet eyes and cheeks. Seeking earnestness in the heart of her husband that she could never see and touch.
'For the sake of the child, this time for the sake of the child. If it was for my mother, now it's for her unborn. Blame it if I wanted to be her priority? Blame it if I hope, just once, once feel expected, feel loved, feel foreseen?' said Diah in his heart, Can't he, just once, ask for me, only for me, not for the sake of the Goddess Mother or this child? Selfishly wish for it?'
Diah pulled her hand out. Move back and continue packing her clothes.
Disappointed, that's what Ardi felt. Why is Diah so determined to leave? Why is she so hypocritical to admit to love? Ardi's chest went up and down because his anger had reached the crown. He did not have enough patience to face the hardened Diah. Ardi pulls the travel bag Diah, throwing him on the floor until Diah's clothes and things move to the floor.
Diah was surprised to see the items he had stacked and arranged in a mess on the floor of the room. The pregnant woman was crying, and her body was shaking.
"What's this?" Miss Dewi appeared from outside Diah's room, staring at the usually neat room, now looks very messy. Madam Dewi heard the commotion and immediately tried to walk with her very slow stepping ability.
"Arm?!"
Ardi looked at Diah fiercely.
"Go if you want to go! Be hard and selfish, maybe it's your nature, why do I persuade? Just wasting energy and money." Ardi looked at Diah and turned to look at the untouched flowers and brownies on the bed.
Ardi stepped away, his eyes had glanced at the mother who saw him concerned and pity. Diah stared at her husband's back and disappeared behind the door of her room. Diah's body felt very weak and tired. He sat on the floor, crying and staring at his clothes on the floor.
"Diah," Mother Dewi stepped closer and rubbed Diah's back bracing. "I'm sorry mom, son. Mama's guilty until you guys are like this. Forgive me, mama." Said Miss Dewi crying and hugging Diah.
Diah walked out while groping the suitcase. The Goddess followed in her footsteps from behind. The old woman still sounded siphoning snot a few times. Diah's steps came to a halt, on the porch of Ardi's house sitting looking out. Not looking at his wife at all. Diah extended a hand to say goodbye. However, Ardi ignored and stood up, stepping inside the house.
Pain, of course Diah felt. However, the pregnant woman is still trying hard and strong. Diah tried to develop a smile as her heart crumbled and broke. Looking up at the best in-laws who loved him so much.
"Ma, Diah's gone away?"
The Goddess cannot say. Hugging and greeting Diah in the midst of her cries. A moment the daughter-in-law and the in-laws hugged each other in a farewell cry. Diah took off her hug and smiled.
"Thank you." Say a short Diah. Then pull the suitcase. At the end of the terrace, Diah felt pain in his stomach, suddenly he felt a contraction. The longer the pain, Diah held her stomach and sat on the floor of the terrace. The Goddess who saw something was wrong with her daughter-in-law rushed over.
"Diah, what's going on? Is she?"
Blood seemed to seep from the robe that Diah was wearing. The eyes of the Goddess Mother widened and panicked.
"The ardi! The ardi!"
