Stain From you
Chapter 3 Pregnant
Within a second Gilda's right hand had landed on Kendrick's cheek. “You crazy man!” gilda spray later. He even hit Kendrick in the chest and gave an extra slap before his body slipped from Kendrick's embrace. “I will complain about your treatment to grandfather Mateo!”
“What's up, Miss Gilda?!” screech someone who just ran from the yard after getting out of the car. “You're okay, Miss?!”
“I'm fine, but the guy seems to be out of his mind!” gilda answered while pointing at Kendrick who was stroking her cheeks, with a gaze fixed on her.
“Where do you want to go, Miss Gilda?” ask Mona as Gilda walks away. Mateo's housekeeper ran, chased after Gilda and pulled her hand, saying, “Sorry if I do anything sassy, Miss Gilda. Do you want to go?”
“Looks like I should go home,” replied Gilda as soon as Mona had already held her hand.
“You don't want to be here for a minute, Miss? Mr. Mateo must be looking for you, he must be worried if you're not here.”
“You've seen me, and you know where I want to go. Since you already know, let me go home.”
Kendrick approached two other women of that generation, then pulled Gilda. “You calm down, I'll take care of it for grandfather. He will stay here until the show is over,” Kendrick told Mona, which made Gilda look up to him. Kendrick grazed Gilda's waist to get out of front of Mona right then and there.
Gilda who was still shocked, did not immediately rebel. The woman followed where Kendrick was taking her. “Follow me if I don't want to break your heart into Edzhar or Carla ..”, Kendrick whispered after both of them had stayed away from Mona.
Gilda followed Kendrick. The woman was brought back in, and it turned out that Kendrick asked her to sit down. The two followed Edzhar and Carla's engagement ceremony calmly.
It was Gilda who did not show a happy expression. The woman in the flickering red dress was like trying to smile. Despite the strangeness in his heart, Gilda still watched the couple ahead. Her feelings are a little uncomfortable when Carla's ring finger is embedded in a ring paired by her male best friend.
“How? Hot?” kendrick asked which made Gilda glance at the pretentious man. “You have no desire to cry?”
Gilda looked down at Kendrick, on the left. “You alone? Aren't you the one who's feeling hot? I know, you were the most hurt when you saw Carla smiling happily there, as now ..” Gilda replied with a slanted smile. Of course what Gilda said was the truth, because she had seen the look of Kendrick's eyes that seemed to hate the scene of the engagement of two people in front of them.
“You know that?” Gilda agreed to keep staring at Edzhar and Carla. “But there seems to be another woman filling my heart,” Kendrick said, which made Gilda take a breath. “Didn't we equally dislike their engagement?”
“Then?”
“What if you and I are in a relationship?” Of course Gilda glared and turned her gaze towards the man beside her. He fell silent, almost wanting to shout at Kendrick's name right then and there. However, the MC's speech ahead made him refocus on the show. “Do you want us to get married?”
“You are crazy!” pekik Gilda after the host invited the guests to enjoy the dishes available in the back row of the guests.
“I just met you a few minutes ago!”
“Alright, then why don't we try to get acquainted first? You're not in touch with anyone anyway, are you?” Gilda shook her head as she got up from her chair. “Where are you going?!” Just as Kendrick managed to reach out to Gilda's wrist, Carla's voice calling out to the man was heard by the two.
Gilda who was about to leave was astonished when Kendrick took off her hand suddenly and smiled and stood up to Carla. Seeing Kendrick's smile, Gilda shook her head. “Basic! Oh, don't tell me you two were in a relationship ..” whispered Gilda who was not thrown while looking at Kendrick who congratulated Carla insincerely. Gilda was able to see Kendrick's different expressions and tone of voice.
Suddenly Carla receives Kendrick's hug and the woman takes Kendrick to a special table for food. “I have to take this friend of mine for a minute, Gilda. We go first, yes!” exclaim Carla who is definitely Gilda persilakan. That instant, Gilda realized that there must be something between Carla and Kendrick. After the departure of the two men, his shoulder was patted by someone from behind.
Edzhar laughed softly. “For what? He's not going anywhere. I happen to want to talk to my best friend.” Gilda pointed to herself. “Who else if not you, Gil? Come on, let's grab some food first before we talk to you further.”
“Ah, can't. I'm going home, Ed.” Edzhar who had grabbed Gilda's hand immediately felt a strong enough thump. “Aibi needs me. There's a lot of bread orders for tomorrow morning, we'll all be busy. I want to go home now,” the reason Gilda made Edzhar look at her full of probes.
“You're not lying, ‘kan?”
“No, Ed. I'm serious, tomorrow morning there's a bread order. Tonight we have to start making some.”
With a heavy heart Edzhar allowed Gilda to return home. However, before that Edzhar called the driver to take Gilda home. Edzhar also asked Gilda to meet with Mateo first before leaving the Carla residence.

Almost a month long Gilda struggled with stores and customers who are always crowded every day. Since his bakery was promoted on social media, Gilda did not have time to take a few days off. In fact, he had to find additional workers, and rented another place to expand his bakery and pastry production space.
As a result of the busyness, Gilda also rarely pay attention to the condition of the body. Until this afternoon Gilda suddenly fainted in the production room. The panicked Dalila asked some workers to help her drive Gilda to the hospital.
Not yet at the hospital, Gilda was conscious. Due to the scent effect of eucalyptus oil, the woman woke up. Gilda who had opened her eyes also said, “My head is dizzy .. It seems because of my empty stomach.”
“You're worrying me! Next time don't miss your lunch hour, I don't like seeing you pass out!” blow Dalila with a face still in shock. “We live alone, Gilda. It should be your health, I only have you,”, he added, which made Gilda nod and try to sit up straight.
“Find where to eat only, Aunty. I'm hungry,” Gilda said as she stroked her stomach. The aunt asked their bakery driver to find a nearby place to eat.
It didn't take long, the car they were riding stopped in front of the restaurant. Dalila with the help of her employees, helps Gilda down. “No need to overdo it, I'm fine. You better go back to the store, I can take care of myself,” Gilda explained after they got out of the car.
“I'll take you inside,” lontar Dalila firmly. He took Gilda until he entered the restaurant. When she got inside, Gilda begged her aunt to go back to the store, and let her go home alone. Because Gilda was so stubborn, Dalila agreed to ask the store driver to keep Gilda company. “Take care of yourself, I'm back alone. Eat a lot,” order Dalila before going out.
As soon as the aunt, Gilda conveyed what she wanted to eat to waitress. As soon as the waiter left, Gilda fell silent while stroking her stomach. He lowered his head and whispered, “I'm sorry for being too focused on working, until you forget that you might be starving, sorry ..”.
The food that Gilda ordered came. Gilda really wants to eat sapo tofu seafood which she thinks is very delicious eaten at a hot time like this. Not only that, at the table Gilda already available butter fried squid. One glass of avocado juice even before he drank before tasting the main menu.
Gilda did not immediately spend sapo tofu, but interspersed with butter fried squid that was no less tempting. The woman seemed to be eating quietly, occasionally stroking her stomach slowly. Occasionally have to drink juice, because thirst struck.
The woman wearing a short-sleeved dress was startled by someone's voice. A familiar voice, coming from behind the body, made Gilda turn her head. Mateo smiled at him and chose to sit in front of Gilda without permission first.
“Ka-Grandpa?” Gilda stammered a bit and tried to show a smile. “Did Grandpa eat lunch alone?” he added, glancing to the right and left, then back before finally looking back.
“There's something I want to tell you, Gilda ...,” reply Mateo who looks so serious in Gilda's eyes. The woman reached for a glass of avocado juice before nodding and letting Mateo make a sound. “It's about the night ... where you and Ed came home from club.”
That instant too Gilda felt time stop. His gaze on Mateo grew sharper, especially when his left hand reflexed outstretched to a still flat stomach. His chest thumped faster as Mateo picked up a phone from the shirt bag the old man was wearing, and uttered, “There was a weird one that night.”
