Princess For The Widow
*Episode #22

A week passed. The relationship between the two is back to what it used to be. Stretching like there was a gap that made distance for the two of them. Abian who seemed to be trying to get back busy with work.

While the busy Princess avoids Abian by all means she has. Anyway, their relationship is not good right now.

However, even so, Abian who is still under the influence of trauma to the past, still has high ambitions to persuade the Princess to want to abort her womb. He could not think of what the Princess felt. All Abian had in mind was, fearing losing the Princess in the same way. That's-that's it.

Tonight, they had dinner together after one week of not doing the routine activities they usually do during their inner-born spouses. However, the awkward atmosphere was very visible from the two. Both Princess and Abian, both of them seemed reluctant to talk. Until finally, Abian ventured to begin.

"Put, I have something to talk to you about. It's about both of us."

"Tell me. I'm ready to hear whatever Abi's talking about. Including, if Mas Abi is talking about separation, I'm ready to hear it too."

"Astaghfirullah, Put. I have no intention of separating from you. Let alone the intention to separate, the intention to talk about it is not. Tempted to separate from you there is not the slightest thought in this mind, Princess."

"Then, what do you want to talk about? About the kid I'm carrying again, Mom? What do you want again? Want me to kill our son again? Nope! I'm not gonna do that. Because I'm still sane."

Abian speechless. The spoon he held, he held tightly because he was upset because he had no chance to talk about something very important in his opinion.

"Put .. I want you to rethink that risk."

"What risk, Mom! Risk of having children you mean? Haven't you?" The princess spoke in a high tone because she began to be provoked by emotions.

While Abian who heard the words, felt increasingly not have the courage to talk. All he could do was shut up while bowing his head.

"If so about the child you want to talk about. This child-to-be wouldn't mind if I was pregnant, even giving birth without a papa beside her. In fact, if you still want to kill this kid, Mas. I am ready to separate from you. Because I don't mind being widowed because of this kid."

"Daughter! What are you, ha?"

"Speaking about the reality I'm going through. If you don't want to accept this child as your child, then I won't mind, let alone force it at all I'll never do."

Realizing that his wife wanted to leave, Abian immediately said, "where are you going, Put?"

"Go home to my parents. Because there, I'm sure that this kid will definitely be very well received. Although there was no papa there, but he would definitely be able to live happily."

"Don't go, Put! You can't leave you alone here. You're my wife, Princess."

"Why can't you, Mom? I'm pregnant with your child. You asked me to kill him. Then why did you say I can't go? You alone are so cruel to your own flesh and blood. How can I stay here?"

"Please don't go. And, I'm sorry for what happened. Stay here, Princess. I'll try to treat the fear I'm experiencing. Please don't leave me, or my life will get messy because of your departure."

The princess was silent while watching her husband's face being bowed. To be honest, he was very sorry for what Abian was currently experiencing. But, he also could not be weak against Abian. Because if he is weak, then Abian will also be confined in past trauma for eternity.

Abian is not wrong. Only, he who is too carried away by emotions to forget everything that happens in this world is an almighty will. No man can resist the will of the Creator.

The princess had already made up her mind to make Abian aware. If what Abian feels right now it is a big mistake that he must immediately realize. That way, Abian can immediately return to his former nature again.

"Mas, I'm not leaving. But you have to promise me that you will never ask me to do something as unreasonable as aborting this child again. If you agree, then I will stay in this house with you."

"I promise, Put. But please, don't make me act like normal. At least, until I can treat and eliminate the trauma I'm dealing with right now."

"I'm understand. And I understand what you want. I know you need time to get rid of that trauma, Mom."

"Thank you so much for understanding me, Put. I will try my best" Abian said without a smile on her lips. Because to be honest, what he was feeling right now was still a huge fear.

The messy dinner was finally over. They chose to move away from the distance they had made. Abian stayed in the guest room, while the Princess stayed in her room.
