Possessive Love
Feeling Wonderful

Aretha smiled again. "Oh yeah, shouldn't David be coming home today, why isn't he here?" ask Aretha astonished. "David not come yet?" coined.

No one dared to raise a voice, just to answer the woman's astonishment.

"Ma, isn't David home yet?" aretha asked to make sure, while looking at the mother-in-law questioningly.

However, his mother-in-law just silence—bingung had to teach what, whereas he himself did not want to make Aretha who had just finished surgery— felt shocked to hear the bad news.

"Ma, David hasn't come home yet?" aretha asked once more while frowning.

Maria simply threw a gaze at her husband who was standing opposite to her. Carmila and Anton also look at each other in turn. Somehow it must begin to explain everything that has happened to Aretha.

Aretha who noticed the activity stared at them in turn. His gaze was full of questions and astonishment. Why was everything suddenly silent, when he asked David where he was, he thought.

After a moment of silence. Anton, noticing the astonished look his daughter was throwing, immediately decided to open his voice, trying to give an answer to his daughter's question.

"Honey, maybe David still has important business, so he can't go home today" Anton replied lying.

According to him, lying is one reason not to make Aretha's condition disturbed and worsened, after running the operation process a few hours ago. He really did not want it to happen to his beloved daughter. He knew very well that the news about David would greatly take Aretha by storm. Therefore, for a while he decided to hide it all from Aretha.

Again Aretha wrinkled her forehead—as if not believe what was conveyed by the papi.

How could David suddenly extend his activities outside the city, after the man had promised just three days. In fact, when the wife was about to give birth, David did not feel worried and left the activity. That was very strange for Aretha.

Inner Aretha began to wonder about the oddity she felt at that time. It feels hard to believe that David—husband, let himself just in fighting risking his life.

Doesn't she worry about me and the baby? Doesn't he want to be with me during labor? Why did he suddenly change, as if he was prioritizing his work more than I had always prioritized?

Aretha's mind floated, trying to answer her own question. However, he himself could not answer that.

Instantly his feelings became unpleasant. I don't know what makes it that way. Clearly, he felt uneasy and anxious.

For him, his lukewarm attitude was very unusual, even though he knew that Richard had told the man about the incident that happened to him last afternoon. But why is he still so busy with his job? His mind wondered again.

Aretha turned her focus towards the mami. "Mi, where's my phone? I'd like to try David's phone" he said.

Hearing the question as well as a statement from the princess, making Carmila immediately confused—bingung must answer what. Instantly he became nervous.

"Oh, the phone? Where are ya?" Carmila seemed to circulate a glance at a nightstand, then approached the nightstand and looked for the object in question in the nightstand drawer. In fact, he knew where Aretha's cell phone was. Yes, in the bag that was used by Aretha this afternoon.

"That's it, son .. don't think of anything. You should rest too, right?" said Anton trying to divert, as if he knew what Aretha was thinking.

"Well, papa tastes like that, too" Kris responded.

However, Aretha's parents were also not without reason to hide that truth. They just don't want Aretha to be stressed when her condition is still unstable. After the woman recovered, they had promised to tell Aretha everything, even if it would still make the woman hurt.

With disappointment, Aretha also tried to accept and understand the busyness of David at that time, although in fact he was very demanding in his heart David's presence at that time. But whatever the power, there are always coincidences that hinder his hope to be real. And he had to take it with his chest.

"Oh yeah, what about my twins?" aretha asked immediately to remember the two children she had just born.

Since the completion of the operation, Aretha had not seen the baby again, because the pair of twins were immediately brought into the baby's room. Until then, no nurse had brought the baby back into her lap.

"The twins are still in the nursery, probably still in the process of checking" Mari explained.

"Om, Auntie, excuse me for a minute."

Richard's voice distracted them.

Apparently, the man who had just been silent about their conversation, had other business. He seemed to be holding his cell phone. Apparently there was a call coming into his phone, so he decided to take the call outside the room.

"Oh yes, please son Richard," replied Kris giving permission.

Richard immediately walked out of the room, after getting permission from Kris. He seemed to receive a call that was none other than Rendy— his best friend.

A few minutes ago, Richard accidentally sent a whatsapp message to Rendy to inform him about the condition of David and Aretha at that time. That was why Rendy immediately contacted him and asked for a more accurate explanation on the matter.

***

After a few hours have passed. Kris and Anton appear to be in front of the ICU room to wait for their turn into the room, just to see David's condition directly.

At that time, Maria who was inside, while the two of them seemed to wait while talking.

"Sir, I was confused as to how to explain to Aretha" Anton said in the midst of their conversation.

Kris took a short breath. "Yes, I was confused as to how. But, however, Rere knows what happened to Dave, whatever the reason," replied Kris, looking at Anton seriously.

"Yes, right. But for now, it feels like I'm still not ready to see Aretha hit because of this reality" Anton said amid the confusion.

"Yes, I get it. Hopefully the two of them will recover soon and be able to regroup" replied Kris.

After a while they waited, Maria finally came out of the room with tears, thus shifting the focus of the two.

It was ascertained because Maria felt unbearable with the condition of David at that time.

Not long after, Kris went straight into the room.
