Not a Curse
18. Erland and Sarah

Erland was still adjusting her breathing, it turned out that it was all just a dream. Now Sarah was in front of him in good health. But it feels so real.

"What dream are you?? Why call my name??"

"No, no papa" Erland chose to go to the bathroom. It was strange to dream in broad daylight like that.

Erland washed her face to relieve her drowsiness. To take ablution and fulfill his duty.

It has been several months since Viola's departure, Erland and Sarah's relationship has also improved. Warm back like any other newlywed couple.

Sarah is thrilled that Viola's departure has finally returned Erland to her. If I may hope, Sarah would like Viola to stay there and never come back.

"Wake up yuk, this abis we take another walk. Anyway today must be satisfied before tomorrow we go home"

"Yes, I'm still sleepy" Erland still refused to open her eyes, still reluctant to open the blanket that covered her innocent body.

Currently they are in a luxury resort located in Lombok. They are enjoying their honeymoon which was delayed due to the marriage of Erland and Viola.

"You take a shower, that's why we're going"

"Okay Mas" Sarah got out of bed. Without covering her body that was not covered by a thread, Sarah walked casually to the bathroom.

Erland picked up her phone that was under the pillow. Log in to the remittance application and send a sizable sum of money to someone's account.

After that type a message for the person he has sent money to.

"Vi, Brother has sent you some monthly money. Wear it for your needs"

That was the message Erland sent to Viola, his second wife. Erland did indeed continue to send messages to Viola despite never getting a reply though. His calls were always ignored. But Erland still cares about Viola.

Although she is currently on her honeymoon with Sarah, Erland also does not forget Viola. The desire to catch up with Viola also exists, but Vino always forbids it on the grounds that Viola is not ready to meet with Erland.

Erland still supports Viola by birth, by regularly sending monthly money. Whether it was in Viola use or not is important Erland has fulfilled one of his obligations.

"What are you doing again??" Sarah came out of the bathroom and saw Erland was engrossed in her cell phone

"No papa, I took a shower first" Erland put her phone back under the pillow and it made Sarah a little suspicious.

Curiosity about what Erland is doing leads Sarah to secretly retrieve Erland's phone after the man enters the bathroom.

As long as they keep their privacy. Mutual trust makes them not open each other open their partner's phone. But this time Sarah was very curious because she felt that there was something Erland was hiding from her.

With a constant glance at the bathroom door, Sarah began to open Erland's phone.

Of course, the first time is a green messaging application. Isn't the topmost order is the last person in contact. And it felt like Sarah wanted to throw Erland's phone while reading who had just been in contact with Erland through the message.

Especially after seeing the contents of Erland's message to him. Sarah's anger is growing.

"So all this time Mas Erland often sends money to the woman?? But right now we're on our honeymoon, Mas Erland could still remember him!!" Sarah squeezed Erland's phone so tightly that she wanted to break it.

But Sarah hurriedly returned the phone after hearing the open bathroom door.

"Why you??"

"Just change clothes first"

Erland really did obey Sarah to spend their last time on vacation just by taking a day trip.

"Where did it go?? Home honeymoon should bring granddaughter gift dong to Mom"

"Not yet in love Ma'am" answered Sarah, feeling sad. Because if the marriage age is calculated they have entered six months but there are no signs of pregnancy from Sarah.

"We have not been trusted with God, Mother. Patience, we haven't been married long"

Erland knew that her mother wanted a grandchild. But Erland also did not want to make Sarah continue to be depressed because she thought about it.

"Yes, I also know that God arranged it. But there is no harm if you keep trying. Have you checked with the doctor??"

Erland and Sarah stared at each other, then shook their heads together.

"Loh, how are you. If you want a pregnancy program, you should go to the doctor. Let you know how your fertility rate is. Because the problem is not necessarily with Sarah, it could be with Erland"

"You mean Erland's mother isn't fertile??" Erland wondered why her own mother could say that.

"That's not what Mother Er meant. Amit-amit if that happens. That's why you check with the doctor. But the main thing is prayer. You ask God to be quick in love. This mother is getting older, carrying a grandchild with you before she dies"

Erland was increasingly upset by the words of her mother who was increasingly slurred. Sarah was silent and sad to think it was all her fault.

"Well by the way Mom, I'm gonna be here with us until Erland and the sisters have kids. So don't talk rich anymore. Tomorrow we will go to the Doctor, I don't have to think about it anymore" Erland insisted that her mother stop asking for grandchildren.

"Yes-yes, yes let's go ahead with dinner. You guys are here, right??"

"Yes ma'am, we haven't been here for a long time" Sarah said, showing her smile again.

The three of them were having dinner at Gendis' house. Only the three of them because Endah had not come home from his cake shop while Edgar had a job out of town.

Erland also really wants to have children soon, but she does not want to make Sarah stress because she thinks about it. Not that stress also affects women during pregnancy programs.

After dinner they went into the room. The room belongs to Erland, a room that is not too big because Papi Vio used to give this house after his father was released from prison.

Tired of working all day staring at a computer screen and a pile of paper that mounts makes Erland immediately asleep in his sleep.

But it feels like Erland fell asleep for a while Erland was dreaming about Sarah again. The same dream as that time.

"Wait!!"

"Wait, sarah!!"

"Gram!"

Erland immediately woke up and saw Sarah still sleeping next to him.

"What dreams really mean, God. I hope nothing happens to my wife"
