"I don't want to eat umi...!"
"The love of the child in your womb is son..." The mother of the orphanage called Umi was still trying to persuade Septi who went on a hunger strike.
"I just want to talk to madam for a minute ...." His word.
"Maybe madam's still busy. If he has time to contact you again. You eat first.pity him...." Umi rubbed Septi's growing belly.
"Just be wild. I wasn't expecting it either...." He turned his back to the faithful Umi sitting on the bedside.
Umi sighed hearing the confession of the woman who had been a resident of the orphanage for several weeks. Being a prisoner of the parlor precisely because Septi is Karina's care. Actually Septi is not a type of dissident even his character tends to be submissive. He often helps to work in the home. Take up cooking in the kitchen, sweeping and even supervising children who are studying and occasionally he helps if he can.
But since yesterday he whined asking to be allowed to talk to Karina who there is better known as madam. Karina refused it. That's what the assistant madam told the caretaker. And now Septi is on hunger strike so his wish can be fulfilled. He was sure madam was actually a good person and would not be able to allow a pregnant woman to die of hunger.
After begging and promising after this she will be a submissive woman and will not do any more harm finally she is in the hospital again. Rina only gave him 10 minutes' clearance.
Septi saw Lukman from the end of the window. His hand hit his chest softly because seeing Lukman now paralyzed had no strength to wake up. Rina was inside with the doctors as she peered at the VVIP room where the special man was being treated.
And this time Rina let him roam the hospital alone with the guards watching him from a distance far enough to not disturb visitors or patients.
"Goodbye Lukman. Thanks for everything..." Septi rubbed his wet cheek after steadying his heart to not show himself again in front of Lukman.
He was shocked when he turned around. There was Laila who turned out to be behind him. His body immediately trembled to see the wife of the man of his heart. He also fell down even though his large stomach blocked his movement.
"Pardon me... Please forgive me..... I promise I won't see Lukman anymore....!" Septi squirms in front of Laila while holding her leg.
"This is not Lukman's son. Lukman is a good man. He never touched me. Please believe me ...!" Septi cried as he pleased making some eyes look at them.
Fortunately, the VVIP room is a place of privacy that not many people pass by there. Away from the regular rooms that are usually passed by many people.
And if people don't know maybe they'll think that Septi is a persecuted man. With a large stomach and a position of rest on the floor looks like a slave who was persecuted by the master.
"Don't be like this..! Awake up!" No doubt Laila felt a little relieved when she heard that the child in the womb Septi was not her husband's child. Although not completely convinced, his heart seemed to get a matchless coolness. Like a breeze blowing in the afternoon. The cold refreshed his heart.
"Please forgive me first...!" Rintih Septi in the middle of his sedu sedan.
"What is this?!!!" Suddenly Karina was already behind Septi shouting in a frightening tone of voice. Septi immediately lowered his head not daring to turn to the source of the voice. He knew it was the sound of madam he was afraid of.
"Wake up!!!! You want to look like an intimidated person or something?" His impact while pushing Septi's shoulders are still resting on the floor.
Septi shook his head because he did not have the intention Karina said.
"Wake up!!!!!!" Rina's voice turned out to be very creepy when angry made Septi immediately tried to stand up and unexpectedly Laila even helped him.
"Rin....! Don't overdo it...!" Laila felt strange hearing Septi's call to Rina but she was more irritated at her sister-in-law's seeming out of control.
"Sir... Brother doesn't know who he is??!" Lina was really not what she used to be. Emotions explode. He was amazed by Laila's actions which were even more lenient than her.
"I knew. I want to talk to him...." He said holding both shoulders of Septi, who was near Laila, because he was terrified of Karina, who was now like a starving lion.
"There's nothing to talk about anymore, brother..... This brother is stupid or what the hell?" Rina even nodded and shouted.
"Yes!!! Please give your stupid brother-in-law time to talk to him.....!" Laila felt irritated for a long time also at Rina who exploded indistinctly. He should be the one getting angry right now but his sister-in-law just kind of took over his place.
"Sorry brother...sorry...!" Rina held onto Laila's arm who wouldn't look at her. He felt guilty about his harsh words.
"Leave us both!!" Laila said sharply not forgetting her sharp eyes that made Karina forced to obey her brother-in-law's orders.
Rina also gestured to her bodyguards who were already on standby at some corner to leave Septi and her sister-in-law.
Seeing Septi who was scared of Rina, Latif and Labib's mother felt sorry for him. He looked at Septi from top to bottom. Makes him breathe. Somehow he could feel that the life that Septi had been through so far was not easy. Although he harbors resentment and jealousy but as a fellow human being he cannot close his eyes.
He then invited Septi to sit on a long bench in front of the room. He wanted to hear everything from Septi's mouth and he was very hopeful that what the pregnant woman said was in line with his expectations.
"What's your name?" Laila asked while looking pity at him.
"Septi brother..." He lowered his head while linking his fingers feeling scared as well as embarrassed.
"How old are you?"
"Five months old..." Septi gulped because Laila did not berate him. It just makes him feel guilty. Maybe getting an expletive was more relieving for her to let her guilt fade a little. But this...... The woman before him actually asked in a pity far from being upset let alone judging him made the guilt in him widen.
"Want to check with me?" Laila held the back of Septi's hand.
Septi raised his head to hear what Laila had just said. The woman who just lost her baby and it was caused by her. How can there be such a good person?
"I just lost my baby.... I hope you won't experience it" Laila felt her chest tight. If possible he wants to scream and cry now but he chooses to hold his sadness.
"I'm not sorry.... Ii'm sorry.... I'm sorry...!!." Septi was crying because of his overwhelming guilt.
"It's been.. Crying won't make him live again..." He said while patting Septi on the shoulder.
