CHAPTER 48 Buy baby clothes

...

Riko's office

Actually from earlier Riko did not work himself was thinking about things that disturbed his mind. His man called and he said that Sena had lived almost a year in France when Rio said Sena was at his parents' house.

"Pa"

Riko is shocked when her study door is opened by Amanda. Riko frowned when she saw Amanda's anxious face.

"Why you?" ask Riko directly. Amanda did not immediately answer herself sitting on the sofa, a long sigh sounded from Amanda made Riko more confused.

Riko approached Amada and sat down next to her.

"What are you talking about?"

"Arfan, he seems to love Angel" said Amanda and of course this makes Riko unsettled.

"You know for yourself, Angel is married"

"But her husband was irresponsible, he just left Angel here and until now he did not appear to meet Angel, and you know, bi Inda that if asked her husband Angel would immediately avoid" it's upset that Amanda cares about Angel. Riko sighed, honestly Riko began to be suspicious of the presence of Angel in this house especially Angel previously lived in Rio's house and also Angel's gestational age is the same as Sena.

"Certainly? you want?"

"Mama wants Angel to divorce her husband!"

"You don't be like that, let Angel decide. It's all up to Angel, all the decisions are in her hands and we're not who Angel is, you understand that?"

Riko's words make Amanda upset, Amanda wants Angel to be the daughter-in-law of this family because she has already loved Angel and she is not willing if later Angel taken away her husband. Riko knows Amanda does not agree with what he said earlier but what is okay for him is to remind Amanda and Riko does not want the little family Angel so messy because of his wife.

Riko sighed heavily, all this even makes his head dizzy especially Arfan is also interested in Angel even Arfan already loves the fetus in Angel's womb.

"Don't be angry like that, if Angel hears how? will he be angry with us again?"

"But if I meet Angel's parents, you'll tell me everything" Amanda got up from her seat and Arfan entered the room.

"El was left alone?" ask Amanda to Arfan.

"I told you to go to sleep, ma"

"Oh, yes, Mama also wants to sleep, help your Papa"

"Yes"

....

21:30

Amanda wakes up from her sleep because she just remembered not cooking for Angel if she was hungry in the middle of the night.

"Why forget the gini!"

Amanda got out of bed to the kitchen. While descending the stairs he saw Angel who was asleep with Arfan accompanying him.

"Well, Fan. El sleeping on the couch?" ask Amanda directly. Arfan looked at Amanda.

"It's about to be moved to the room"

"Yes, it's been right, ntar pegel all his body later slept on the sofa"

Arfan immediately raised Angel's body carefully. Amanda sees Arfan's departure and there's clearly a sense that Arfan is hiding.

"Pity you, son"

..

Angel's Room

Arfan put a blanket on Angel's body and sat down on the bed near Angel lying down. The soft touch of Arfan's hand stroked Angel's cheeks which were very stye kek bakpao.

"A good sleep huh... eh?" Arfan was shocked when Angel opened her eyelids, what Arfan woke her up to.

"Kok up?"

"Don't go, I'm afraid of being alone" Angel asked. Arfan smiled thinly and then kissed Angel's forehead. Angel felt a little parno because of Arfan's words in the hospital because Angel was afraid of mystical things especially now he often woke up in the middle of the night.

"I'm with you, now you're sleeping"

"Will not! later when I sleep you go"

"I'm sleeping here, now you calm down?"

"Yes"

Angel slowly closed her eyelids again. Arfan who is not sleepy chose to play PS only and does not want sleepiness to approach him.

23:35

Angel woke up from his sleep and his eyes immediately saw Arfan who was playing PS. The sound of Angel's cough made Arfan turn towards the bed.

"El" Arfan immediately approached Angel and asked her how she was

"Drink" Angel's pinta.

Arfan helps Angel sit down and gets her a glass of mineral water. Angel drank it up.

"You hungry?" asked Arfan and replied to a slow nod from Angel.

"I'll get it, you'll be here, yeah"

Arfan went to get food for Angel. As far as Arfan goes, Angel even sobs. Angel feels himself no longer cared for by Rio, until now he is still unclear exactly. Angel is very ready if later only as a surrogate womb at least she is not burdened with this love and learn to erase the love to Rio.

"You must be having fun right now, you don't know how tired RI I am right now. Our son RI's boy"

This pain is felt to be very common to feel Angel but the fetus in her womb has the right to be happy and have the right to get attention and affection from her father.

"Well, how sad?" arfan's voice surprised Angel. Arfan smiled faintly, his fingers wiping away Angel's tears.

"I told you, you can't be sad and have a lot of thoughts. If your husband doesn't care about you and your fetus, let it go, I'm here. I'll take care of you, don't hesitate to ask me for anything"

"Thank you" Angel hugged Arfan. Arfan also returned Angel's embrace, hoping Angel will remain strong in the face of this all.

"It's sad, let's eat"

...

Bali 20:30

Rio was calling bi Inda to ask Angel's condition. Rio felt uneasy especially knowing that Angel was in the hospital.

"Hello bi, Angel's home?"

"Already Den, oh yes Den was at home ngadain small parties for non El. Den, the boy's baby boy"

"What's? my son, man, bi?" Rio looked very happy to hear that his son-in-law was a boy. Rio felt that this made his heart very happy, as if this was the most beautiful gift of his life.

"Yes Den! Aden hunted home, pity Non El need attention Den Rio"

"There's Arfan looking after you"

"Ih, this Rio Den! Den Rio is the same as telling Arfan to be her husband Non El, Den knows as long as Den Den no Arfan is very dear to non El and her fetus, Den knows, Den wants Den's son to be the same as Den Arfan?"

"Bi, don't be weird! my son is still in the stomach there's no way he can recognize Arfan. Go Bi, I'm going to sleep"

Rio immediately disconnected the phone. Rio just wanted to know the condition of his son and the rest he did not care.

"Ri?"

"Eh, you baby"

"It's night, let's go to sleep"

"Yes"

01:00

Rio could not sleep yet, he remembered bi Inda's words. Rio realized that he was very bad, he had not been able to make a decision because the little heart still chose the best for his life. Sena, she who accompanied from the beginning and loved the grief was passed with her and Angel, she was the new girl in her life. Angel was present because Sena who was desperate and confused what to do. The point is all this happened because to make Amanda happy who really wants to have a grandchild.

Rio looked towards Sena. Sena's face that was so peaceful as if there was no burden made Rio feel even more guilty.

Rio felt himself so very unfeeling, he should not accept Sena's request but this has all happened and he cannot repeat the time that has passed which is clear both Sena and Angel are injured in this situation and he must no more wounds in the hearts of his two wives.

Cup. Rio's warm kiss landed on Sena's forehead making the dent of Sena's smile.

"Good sleep well" Rio stroked softly Sena's face" You must have been feeling sad all along? I'm sorry"

Rio was holding Sena guiltily. It has been a year but Rio has not been able to be fair in everything and he has not been able to give a definite status to Angel.

...

10:00 am.

Arfan was calling Rio to ask about the file that Rio signed yesterday.

"Sister, the file that Papa gave to brother yesterday where?"

"Crude your work space"

Arfan went straight to Rio's workspace still calling. Upon arrival in the workspace, Arfan went straight to Rio's safe and Rio gave the safe code.

"Okay, thanks brother" Arfan immediately hung up the phone.

When Arfan took the yellow map whose position in the middle more precisely pulled the map it made a pile on top of it fell and one of the maps was open. The map looks very suspicious especially there are three matrai signed there is also the name of Angel listed.

"This what?"

Arfan took the map and carefully read the contents of the file. Arfan's face turned crimson, a face full of anger and disappointment.

What Arfan read was the marriage agreement letter of Rio and Angel as well as the agreement made by the three of them. The agreement letter Rio took secretly from Sena. Arfan really does not believe his brother can do this bad and use the money he has to deceive a girl. Arfan could not believe his suspicions were now proven real and he felt ashamed to have an older brother like Rio.

"Sister, you're totally outrageous. I hate you"

Arfan left the Rio workspace and brought the map he was looking for and a marriage agreement. Arfan planned to tell everything to his parents, and photocopy this agreement several sheets in case there would be problems that befall Angel.

..

Arfan Room

Arfan was silent for a long time, his head felt like it was going to break. Arfan is really overwhelmed by this reality, a reality that is really very painful. All the pain that Angel got was because of her brother.

"Sister, you can't be a good husband to Angel and I will replace you. I'm not gonna let you keep hurting Angel"

Arfan wiped away her tears that did not know when she was dripping. Arfan tried to smile and be mediocre to hide the tightness in his chest.

"WHERE ARE YOU??" amanda's shout makes Arfan snort annoyed, Amanda always makes Arfan upset just like Riko did.

"What the hell?"

Arfan came straight out of the room, approaching Amanda downstairs.

"Why ma, don't yell! this is a house not a forest" upset Arfan who is already next to Amanda.

"Anterin mom shopping"

"No, lazy" said Arfan briefly and got a spicy jewel from Amanda.

"Awww, sick Mmaaaaaa!" arfan complained loudly. Angel who heard Arfan's voice went straight to the living room. Angel was stunned when he saw Arfan who was picked up by Amanda.

"Kok diwerer?" ask Angel. Seeing Angel coming, Amanda immediately took off her jewel. Arfan stroked his ears that felt hot.

"Here, Arfan doesn't want to anterin us to the mall"

"Huh? whahuh? same Angel?" arfan asked to make sure, Arfan had refused because he thought Angel did not come to the mall and Arfan wanted to accompany Angel.

"Yes, why?"

"Later on, Angel hasn't slept either. At two o'clock, we're leaving"

"Well, what is it?" angel protest is ready to go. Amanda smiled faintly, it seems that Arfan already understands the schedule of Angel's nap.

"What's? in half an hour you must be sleeping, you should eat first just to sleep" said Arfan who walked over to Angel. Arfan immediately greeted the fetus in Angel's stomach.

"As far as you go, Fan" Amanda went, not wanting to disturb Arfan and Angel. In Amanda's heart, she prayed that Angel would open her heart to Arfan and ask for a divorce from her husband.

Cup. Arfan gently kissed Angel's stomach. Angel felt her fetuses move actively as if happy with what Arfan did.

"It's how you eat fruit, I'm peeling apples?"

"Yes, I want an orange"

"Every boss, mending you sit down"

...

12:00

Amanda was watching TV with Arfan and Amanda still could not believe that what Arfan said was true, now Angel was taking a good nap after eating fruit.

Amanda frowned as Arfan pushed the new-looking wheelchair.

"You bought a wheelchair?"

"Yes, make Angel. Pity it's gonna be a street smear in the mall, Ma"

"Oh, Mama's gonna change the money"

"No Ma, I want to wake up Angel. We're leaving now"

"The build-up period, pity right?"

"At the very least you're awake" Arfan said casually as he walked away from Amanda. Amanda was thrilled to see Arfan paying attention to Angel.

.....

Mall/special Baby supplies

Angel smiled happily when Amanda and Arfan were choosing clothes for their children later. Angel is grateful to meet people who care about her.

"Fan look for an octopus" asks Amanda and leaves Arfan confused. Amanda told Arfan to look for "guritas" in baby gear?.

"Where there's a "gurita" here, it's baby gear!" upset Arfan. Angel seemed happy when she saw the little quarrel of mother and child as if treating her longing to Jihan.

"Not that "gurita" but this one!" said Amanda as she looked at the cloth she was holding.

"Oh that one, how do you know I'm Ma. Here is also new" martial Arfan who immediately look for "gurita" in the other pile.

"El, is this funny?" Amanda showed me a baby dress patterned with flowers.

"It's funny but my son's a boy"

"Well, he's not a baby yet, he can't choose"

Amanda seemed very happy to choose clothes for her granddaughter. Amanda also chose a cloth and another for Angel's child later. Amanda does not buy for her son Sena because Amanda does not want the gift will be in vain later because Sena does not like it.

Soon Arfan returned with some "gurita" cloth and baby clothes that he chose.

"It's only three, Ma"

"Yes, you take care of El, Mama wants to look over there"

"Yes"

As soon as Amanda, Arfan immediately kissed Angel's stomach at a glance and made Angel's stomach fetus kicked as if very happy to be addressed by Arfan.

"Hi, are you happy to be called Arfan? know yah bought clothes" said Angel while stroking her stomach, soothing the fetus in her stomach.

"Honey, this is a dress for you" Arfan looked at the clothes he chose in front of Angel's stomach. Angel looks very happy especially the clothes that Arfan chose was the same as he wanted.

"The book is so funny"

"More"

Arfan handed this tiny shirt to Angel. Angel hugged this baby shirt as if she could feel her child hugging. The smile on Angel's lips made Arfan's heart smile. Arfan wants to continue to make Angel happy no matter how he will do, this he did not to fix Rio's mistakes but this Arfan did sincerely from his heart. This sense of love is somehow when it grows to such a great extent.

"Search for yuk's gloves?" invite Arfan directly push the wheelchair occupied by Angel.

...

Angel laughed so loosely when Arfan used the baby skull on his head with a milk pacifier that he pointed to his mouth, maybe Arfan wanted to return to being a baby who had no mind burden.

"Laughing you yeah!" Arfan ruffled Angel's bangs with his anxiety.

"You're funny, you want to see that blanket"

angel said while pointing at the brown fur blanket.

"This one?" Arfan took the quilt and gave it to Angel.

"Soft, can I ask you this, right?"

"Well, what else can you ask for?"

"Umm, I want a double shirt with my son"

"Come, let's find!!" arfan said with great enthusiasm.

...

Dining place

All the items needed now have been bought all and a happy face implied in Amanda's face especially Angel really likes the gift.

Angel is being fed by Arfan lovingly even Arfan has not eaten a single bribe, he wants to feed Angel first.

"So you guys bought anything?" ask Amanda who was kepo with the goods that Arfan and Angel bought.

"So buy baby gloves, what are the same shoes, El?"

"Don't know you were the one who chose it"

"It's okay, after this we go home. Papa's going to France tonight"

"Who? what's so sudden, Ma?"

"Mama doesn't know either"

..

Amanda Riko's House

Riko is ready with his suitcase, he will meet his man and to Rio's house in France. Riko wanted to make sure of everything.

"Pa, be careful over there huh?"

"Sure, you take care of Papa's grandson?" Riko feels heavy leaving Angel and also worried that Arfan will do reckless but Riko tries not to worry too much and get rid of the negative things on his mind.

"Yes"

"Ma, I'm leaving. Arfan take care of them!"

"Every Boss!!" arfan said as he raised both of his thumbs.

After Riko left Arfan became lethargic, even though he wanted to say important things to him. Arfan could have said that thirty minutes ago but he did not want to make Riko feel disturbed by this problem and make work in France mess because this is all related to his biological child.

"Faan? can you just hang out with me for a second?" pinta Angel in front of Arfan.

"I'm sorry El, you're the same old Inda, I want to rest"

Arfan immediately passed away, he wanted to cool his head. Angel does not matter anyway he has very often troublesome Arfan.

"It looks like I should take it myself"

Angel went to the place to dry clothes to pick up the doll that he was washing this morning. Angel could have told ART to pick it up but they were in the middle of dinner and Angel didn't want to interrupt their dinner.

...

Arfan Room

Arfan immediately threw his body on the bed. Today was exhausting.

Arfan was silent as he stared at the ceiling of his room, laughing at something that only Arfan knew.

A long sigh was heard from Arfan. The truth he had been searching for all this time had been discovered and everything felt very disappointing. Rio had hidden his second marriage to everyone even he forced a child to stay away from his family.

"I know brother, you did all this because of Sena right? I know you must be burdened with Mama's will but it's not like this"

Arfan fell silent again, he remembered the first time he met Angel and now he knew why Angel always looked sad when Rio and Sena were together.

"It's just that you don't want to talk to Rio"

Arfan now knows why in the hospital, Angel does not want to talk to Rio. Rio as a husband gave up his responsibilities to others and himself was busy on vacation with his first wife.

"I can't tell this to Mama especially Mama can't just believe this truth, which there Mama even became sick. Fan now you have no reason to keep your distance from El, he needs the attention your brother doesn't give you"

Arfan so imagined how hurt Angel when having to live together but not recognized by her husband and in-laws.

"Until the child is born, right? if I were ready to marry you and I promise not to hurt you, I would make you happy. I'd better take a shower and accompany El"

...

Where to dry clothes

Angel breathed a sigh of relief at last until also this place. The fatigue that Angel felt was lost when he saw the sprinkling of stars in the sky.

"Beautiful" said Angel as she stepped towards the guardrail. Angel saw the sky that stretched wide.

"Sister Rio"

The name just came out of Angel's mouth. Angel's heart always wonders, if Rio has forgotten it, until this moment Rio continues to play tricks on him even he does not ask the news of his fetus.

"Until when?" Angel stroked her protruding belly and started talking to her fetus. "sad you have to be strong well, your father is dear to you, he just doesn't want me. Sorry you got so far away with your Papa"

Those words were heart-wrenching but these were all her choices, choices that had made her life.

.

When Angel wanted to step into the place where her doll legs slipped because of the pool of water that pooled.

"Eh?"

Hap. Arfan suddenly came swiftly to support Angel's body if not Angel must have fallen and the content can be problematic.

"You've only been left for a while" upset Arfan and grateful he was not late.

Angel justifies his position, honestly he is very scared at the moment. Angel stroked her stomach, surely the fetus in her womb was also shocked.

"You ain't nothing, are you?"

"No, thankfully there are you"

"Yes, if not me, who will take care of you! your husband is really outrageous! just divorce her!" arfan said in an annoyed tone and his tone was like anger. Hearing the word divorce Angel suddenly became weak and his head dizzy.

"Why you?"

Arfan immediately pulled Angel into his arms. Angel did not answer, her head was very dizzy.

"My head is dizzy" said Angel. Arfan immediately carried Angel's body, bringing her in.

Arfan occasionally looked at Angel, should have been the afternoon he forbade to go to the mall must be now Angel is very tired.

"With the belly of that ball of yours, you can climb this many stairs?" asked Arfan with wonder especially where to dry clothes on the second floor must be very tired.

"Don't tell me the belly of the ball ntar in it's lashing"

"Yes. yeah sorry. What are you doing there?"

"Take the doll"

"You can tell people to get it"

"I want to see the stars too"

"As much as you are"

Arfan breathed a sigh of relief at last until also on the lower floor and along with Amanda who was looking for both.

"Where are you guys from? Mama cariin"

"Nih, Bumil strayed to the clothesline" said Arfan as he stepped towards the sofa. Arfan sat Angel on the couch. Seeing the pale Angel made Amanda feel anxious.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? must you be tired?" ask with concern especially Angel just healed.

"Yes, obviously, Ma, the whole day at the mall must be tired"

said Arfan with a tight tone. Angel nodded slowly.

"Fan, don't be like that Mama" said Angel in a limp tone. Amanda did not feel sad or anything, she was the one who invited Angel to the Mall when Angel just got out of the hospital.

"It's okay, it's Mama's fault too. Arfan is just worried about you and your son, if there's anything to say to Mama or not to Arfan"

"Sorry Angel took care of you"

"Eh, how about that! Mama is even happy you are here, all for Arfan to want to marry after taking care of you"

Arfan immediately glanced at Amanda but Amanda seemed not to care about Arfan's annoyed gaze.

"Your mother told you to get married!" Angel's following makes Arfan upset.

"That's business later!...."
