Surrogate Husband
Studying Sincere

In a luxurious house already stands a tent and there is a yellow flag that indicates someone died in the house.

Guests present to serve have filled the house. The chanting of the holy verses of the Qur'an is heard along with sobs from abandoned families.

All eyes were immediately turned towards the door when they heard the voice of a woman who looked chaotic.

"Mas Rei....!" Alicia was almost unsteady as she stepped inside the house and saw her husband covered in white cloth.

Clara who was sitting not far from the door immediately stood up and brought her daughter in to approach Reihan who was already stretched stiff.

"You who are patient, dear, do not let your tears drip on him." Clara's whispers were soft and was countered by a nod by Alicia.

The woman approached and opened the cover of her husband's face. Tears that he tried to hold with all his strength immediately shed like a waterfall. She cried in her voice and looked at her husband's pale face.

That night Alicia did not move from her seat and remained beside Reihan's body. Over and over again Clara and Sukma persuaded her to take a break because she was pregnant. But the stubborn woman did not move from her place at all.

In the end Clara asked Zico to give her the dope so she could rest. At first Zico does not want to, but seeing Alicia's condition which is almost like a zombie makes him decide to do what Clara asks.

The man went outside to his car to pick up his medical supplies that he always carried and walked up to Alicia.

"Ale!" Call him soft, but the one called out is not in action at all. Zico swiftly took a syringe and took drugs that are safe for pregnant women from his bag. Then hold Alicia's arm and inject it.

Alicia was instantly shocked as she felt something stab at her skin. He looked at Zico with a sharp look and saw the man's hand holding the syringe.

"What are you doing...?" Ask with a fierce expression. A sharp and piercing look made Zico feel a chill in his heart. Before long Alicia instantly closed her eyes as the medicine began to react.

"I'm sorry." Zico's great-grandson brings Alicia into the room followed by Clara and Sukma. Zico looked at Alicia's peaceful face and revealed a faint smile. Her smile faded when she heard Clara's voice.

"Thank you Zico, auntie doesn't know what else to do. You know for yourself how stubborn Alicia is."

Zico's lips lifted, he knew how stubborn the woman was. Because they are friends from High School. Moreover, both of them continue their education at the same university. So that the relationship between the two can indeed be said to be very close. Unfortunately Alicia only considers Zico as her best friend, nothing more.

"Yes a pretty aunt, I said yes. Going back to the Hospital. People will be afraid of me again. Because this handsome doctor wasn't there."

Clara gaped at the sight of Zico's. It turned out that the handsome boy before him had not changed at all. "Yes, you be careful on the road. Don't speed it." Clara said as she rubbed Zico's shoulder.

"Ready boss!" He directly walked out of the room that Alicia was currently occupying.

After Zico died, Clara immediately shook her head to see the behavior of her daughter's best friend.

"Is he like that, Ra?"

Clara regained her senses and immediately chuckled amusedly at Sukma's question. "That's what Dr Zico means?" Sukma nodded his head. "Yes mba, the boy is like that. He's Alicia's best friend from High School, so they're close."

Clara smiled and stepped out of her daughter's room. Actually he knows how Zico feels about Alicia. But love is not forced, right? Although at first Alicia also refused when betrothed to Reihan. In the end, when love greets no one can turn away from it.

The morning sky was clouded, as if to grieve for Reihan's departure. The funeral was full of tears. All Reihan's family and friends seemed to be in disbelief, that the man was no longer with them.

Alicia sat near Reihan's grave with tears in her eyes. His lips twitched as he said something. "Darling, you're calm down there." She looked down and hugged the headstone of her husband. "I'm sorry that I've been lacking so much while being your wife." Take a deep breath before you speak again. "Thank you for all the love and affection you gave me and my son. I love you my sunshine."

His cry broke out after saying all that, he immediately hugged Bian who was beside him. Bian himself had just arrived from France after getting word from his mother.

Alicia just kept quiet and according to what her sister said. Bian took Alicia to the car and immediately went home.

A week after the departure of Reihan all the family returned to activities as usual. Alicia was already much better than the previous days. Sometimes she still cries alone.

Like today, after coming home from the hospital. He immediately shut himself in the room and stared at Reihan's photo with tears falling.

As if sucked, he recalled the incident a year ago when his parents told him to go home because there was something to say.

1 Year ago

In the lobby of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, a beautiful girl was standing to wait for the driver's invitation sent by her father. His smile instantly expanded upon seeing the arrival of the person he was waiting for.

"Young lady, sorry I'm late. The road was a little jammed." Said a middle-aged man who was none other than Leo Adhitama's personal driver.

"No problem uncle, I just arrived." The girl smiled and got into the car.

Alessandra Alicia Syahreza who just returned from the United States of America after studying at one of the best universities in the country uncle Sam is Johns Hopkins University. He is now a cardiologist at the age of 22 at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Who would have thought, his desire to become a doctor like his uncle Hendri could be realized.

"Mommy...!" Alicia immediately ran into her mother's arms when she just set foot in front of her family's mansion. "I miss Mommy very much." Whispers in Clara's ears.

"Mommy too, baby. You haven't been home since you left 6 years ago." Said Clara with a soft tone. Because his daughter had just come home after his departure since 6 years ago after graduating high school.

Clara was only able to meet her daughter at graduation and at her inauguration as a doctor. At the time of the appointment of a specialist, he was unable to attend because Rafan was admitted to the Hospital. He wanted to accompany the boy there. But his big baby and the two heroes could not be left at all. Especially large babies who are not aware of their own age.

Adhit visited her daughter more often. Especially if he is there a project, the man will always visit the princess' apartment and take her for a walk.

Alicia unravels the embrace of her mother. "Now, what matters is that I'm here." Say it with a big smile.

"You're right, let's go in. You must be tired, right?" Clara took her daughter into the mansion. Alicia could not deny that she was very tired after traveling for hours.

"Daddy's still in the office, Mommy? The two boys haven't come home yet?" Ask streak.

Clara chuckles "Yes dear, Daddy still has meetings with clients. Bian and Rafan are coming home soon. Because they know that her beautiful sister's coming home today." Clara pinches her daughter's nose.

Alicia laughed at her mother's words. "Mommy can, I can go to the room. I'm so clingy, I'm gonna take a shower and take a break." Hugged his mother once more and kissed her cheeks full of affection. Then ran up to his room located on the second floor.
