Only Raised Children
117. Wedding Rena and Andi

23.july

Days continue to change, now Alina's condition has begun to improve. There is no more morning sickness that he usually feels every morning until noon. Now the woman can be more free to move freely. But even so, all members of his family are not free to always possessive of him.

Today Alina has also started working again. As promised to her family, she will start returning to work if her condition improves. Alina's stomach has now begun to grow, with any clothes everyone will know if the woman is currently pregnant. 

As Alina walked into her office, all the employees stared in surprise at her with a changed appearance. Those who from the beginning wondered why Alina was often late and suddenly took almost two months off finally got her answer today. Those who had thought badly of Alina now felt a little guilty for thinking no less about the woman. 

But there are also a small number who do not feel guilty for their bad thoughts towards Alina. They still look dislike because he thinks Alina is only using her status as delicious as possible just because of her pregnancy.

"Miss Alina. You are pregnant? ask one of the employees in the san as Alina walks past him. 

Alina stopped her way and smiled in agreement.

"Well, congratulations Miss on your first pregnancy. How many months has it been, Miss?" 

"About 4 months." 

"Well, it's already in the second trimester. How do we not know if Miss is pregnant?"

Alina simply smiled in response to the woman's words. He who does not intend to respond to his words further then say goodbye to immediately go to his room with the husband who is always faithful to deliver it to the inside.

After Alina's departure, the people who heard the conversation started to whisper. They are now increasingly convinced that the reason for the delay and sudden leave that Alina has been doing so far is simply because the woman is pregnant.

"Well, you guys were the ones who vilified Alina Rasain yesterday."

"Yes, so if you have your mouth guarded. Don't just talk."

"It's a good thing Mr. Morgan and Mr. Alfian didn't hear it. If the two of them find out you're vilifying his pregnant sister, you might be given a warning letter like Noni and Widya." 

"Yes. I feel guilty about Alina. Well, I'd like to apologize but prestige."

"That's it, lupain. Don't discuss it again, we will be affected."

"Yes already, disperse yuk. If Mr. Alfian sees us gathered like this he'll be angry." 

The employees there disbanded to immediately resume their work that was just about to begin.

*

In front of her room just as Alina was about to enter her room, suddenly two women called out to her from behind. Making Alina undo her intention to enter the room and turn her head towards them."

"Iina."

Alina smiled kindly. "What's wrong?" tanyakanya.

The two women looked at each other with faces hesitant to talk to him. Moreover, Rico was there, they were increasingly hesitant to say something. 

"What's wrong?" asked Alina again in surprise. 

But having no other choice, they finally put their feet closer to Alina and said what they should have said. 

"Alina, I'm sorry that we talked about you all this time from behind. Our….*

Alina who was curious about the two women who called her, now finally understood. It turned out that the two women were the ones who were caught by her two brothers for having spoken badly about her two months ago. 

At that time Noni and Widi deliberately apologized to Alina because of an order from Morgan. Morgan had explained to the two men if the reason his sister always came late because of pregnancy symptoms. But in addition to the orders from Morgan, the two women also felt guilty for speaking badly to Alina who was pregnant. 

One of them was a single mother. She knows how hard it is to hold back from the discomfort a pregnant woman feels. Especially if the content is weak that will make the woman can not do anything. It also made them feel guilty towards Alina.

Because both of her brothers had acted on the attitude of the two women, Alina could only forgive their actions to her. After all Alina was aware that what they were doing was out of her control. They must not know if she is pregnant so make her assume bad like that. 

Finished with the two women, Alina also invited Rico to enter her room.

"Darling, then I'll go now, yes" Rico said farewell.

Alina nodded. "Thank you, honey. You be careful on the road." 

"Of course" he said, wiping his wife's face and kissing her forehead.

Before actually leaving his wife's room, Rico squatted in front of his wife's stomach first to wipe the stomach of Alina who had her baby. Not to forget he also gave a warm kiss on his wife's stomach and whispered as if he was saying something to his son who was still in the stomach. 

"Papa go first, honey. You're fine in there, don't make your Mama trouble, okay."

Alina smiled seeing that. Rico always had a way of making her smile with all the simple treatment.

**

the next day Alina and Rico prepare to attend the wedding of their close friends, Rena and Andi. Since morning they have been preparing for their best performance at the friend's show. Moreover, Alina who asked Rena to accompany her made it by having to come before the event began. 

But because of the current condition of Alina who can not move quickly, making her a little late to the location of the event. Even while on the way, Rena unceasingly contacted the woman to ask her whereabouts. 

"Yes, we're already on Ren's way. Wait a minute, about half an hour until we get to."

"He's patient, you know for yourself what my condition is now. I can't possibly force a quick move, you want my stuff so why the rush?"

Rena also sighed, unable to say anymore when remembering her friend who was two-bodied. Instead of something happening with her friend on her own accord, Rena had to ask the MC who brought her show to postpone the sacred event until Alina arrived.

About 35 minutes later, the car that Alina was riding in has now arrived at the hotel lobby. He and Rico immediately went into a room to meet Rena who was there.

"Darling, careful. Don't rush everyone to wait for us."

"Everyone is waiting for us, baby. I don't feel good with Rena, we're half an hour late."

"Yes, I know, but being in a hurry like this won't make things any better either. Something will happen to your body."

Alina who just realized if she was pregnant at this time then stopped her path.

"Gosh, I just remembered I was pregnant. Geez, honey, I'm sorry Mama. Mama did not mean to harm you," said Alina while stroking her distended stomach. 

Now he also slowed down the pace of the road but with a slightly anxious feeling because it was not good with Rena who had been waiting for a long time and invited guests who had been waiting for the start of the event since. Once in Rena's room, Rico left his wife with the bride. He chose to wait for his wife in the ballroom where the event was held, while Rena is currently seen bending her face because of her friend who was almost an hour late. 

"I'm sorry, Ren. I've been as good as you can to fast, but how else, my current condition really does not allow to move faster than this. You do not sulk that dong, you will feel for yourself when you are pregnant later. Can't move fast and fast."

Again Rena had to sigh to hear the words of her friend. He glanced at Alina's growing belly, then gently stroked her.

Forgive aunty, honey. Aunty's worried about Aunty's marriage, so she doesn't care about you in there."

Alina smiled looking at Rena who was like that.

"yes, let's sit down, the commitment is about to start" Alina cap while inviting the bride-to-be to sit her body on the sofa there.

The marriage contract began, when the legal word was spoken clearly in everyone's ears, Alina immediately invited Rena to get out of there to the ballroom where the event was held through the door that had been provided. Accompanied by romantic music, Rena entered the ballroom with her best friend who is now holding her hand with a large stomach.

Sumringah's smile never faded from the beautiful face of Rena or Alina. They are happy with their own feelings. 

When Rena had been taken over by Andi, Alina also turned her body to approach her husband who currently turned out to have been waiting for her not far from his standing position. 

"Darling, I remember our wedding day 4 months ago" Rico said, whispering in his wife's ear. But Alina only responded to his words with an amused smile.

**

In less than two hours, the official event was completed. Now all the invited connections are welcome to eat the dishes that have been prepared. 

With his wife's condition difficult to move, Rico asks Alina to wait in their chair with Marissa who is feeding Lala a chocolate cake. While he rushed to the dining table to get food for the two of them.

While taking food, the voice of a woman from behind her body made Rico turn his head. His face looked flat as he realized Calista who greeted him with a meaningful gaze.

"Hi, Co," said Calista.

Rico did not answer his greeting. He just kept silent as he looked questioningly at the woman who was reprimanding him.

Calista who did not get the authorization from the man in front of him was then embarrassed. But he couldn't possibly show his embarrassment at the time. Calista tried to look ordinary with a sweet smile. 

"Congratulations on your first child's pregnancy. I just found out that your wife is 4 months pregnant, because there's no news about Alina's pregnancy all this time."

Calista is still trying to be friendly to Rico, although he actually knows that the man in front of him does not like his presence. But how else, his desire to reprimand Rico could not be avoided just like that. Rico is not currently with his wife. 

She is embarrassed enough to reprimand Rico if Alina finds out because before they get married, she had a chance to vilify Rico and ask Alina to step down from her relationship. He was very embarrassed to Alina if he remembered that, while now he was approaching Rico back to be nice to him. 

"thank you. We didn't announce my wife's pregnancy on purpose because Alina wanted her privacy to stay up."

Calista smile. He was about to continue his chat with Rico, but at that time Rico first said goodbye to him on the grounds that Alina had been waiting for the food he was taking.

Because he could not force also that would make himself more embarrassed, Calista agreed and let Rico go with a plate that had been filled with food. Calista was silent at the end of the dining table, she looked at Rico who was walking away while lamenting her regretful feelings.

From the beginning Calista did look hesitant to take Rico away from his side, but his ego who wanted to get a rich man made him forced to end his relationship with the man. And when I got word that Irfan Renaldi would bequeath all his property to the man, somehow Calista's heart became very sick. In the depths of his heart, Calista still had feelings for Rico. But what the power of all has passed, there is nothing he can do but surrender and feel regret for having released a man so good for his own ego. 

Just as Calista was about to go towards his desk, suddenly the voice of a man from the side made him stop his steps. He glanced at the man who looked foreign to him.

"Do you like Rico?" asked the man while looking at Calista from top to bottom, making him feel uncomfortable because he was stared at so.

"It's none of your business" Calista replied indifferently. 

The man raised one corner of his lips.

"You won't be able to get Rico and ruin his household, because that man already loves his wife so much."

Despite knowing that, Calista still did not like to hear the words that the man said to her. The man said as if mocking himself who would never be able to get Rico. Because he felt he did not know the man, Calista left him without saying goodbye to his unreasonable feelings. While the man who saw Calista's departure only smiled by raising one corner of his lips.

"Basic women. You won't be able to get to Rico and ruin my sister's household" he murmured softly.

Yeah, the guy who spoke to Calista was none other than Morgan. She comes to Rena and Andi's wedding because of Rena's parents who are her co-workers in the office with Alfian. He had accidentally seen Calista talking to Rico as long as the man filled his plate with food. 

At first Morgan wanted to ignore it because he thought Calista was his co-worker who had accidentally met there, but when he saw Calista's meaningful gaze on Rico, he said, he begins to suspect and thinks that the woman wants to get close to Rico. Morgan soon approached Calista when Rico had left.
