Tarnished Before Accident
Chapter 50. Somewhere

Time still showed at four in the morning when we finished the evening prayer together. I saw with my own eyes how a Reynan Paderson who had always looked carefree and relaxed, was now crying there. He spilled all his problems only on the Creator.

I still stared at that trembling back. He was so solemn, drowning in the prayers he was praying. Only the sobbing sound that I occasionally heard came out from her lips.

For now, I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. Rey is actually a good man and is the criteria of a dream husband. He was responsible not only in material terms, but also never to be rude to his wife, to be gentle, and to be very appreciative. Nowadays it is very rare to find men like him. Of course I feel blessed to have conquered itself as a complement to half my religion. Make him a partner in the longest worship, namely marriage.

If indeed Sister Rena is not divorced, I want to remain a part of it.

Am I stupid to think like that? I don't know. A lot of things are my consideration. Especially because of the nature of Kak Rey who I think is a loyal man only to one partner. He wants to marry me only on responsibility. If there is no incident, I'm sure until now Kak Rey's wife is only Kak Rena.

He looked at me after wiping his wet eyes. Her smile was so shady behind her beautiful face. Really, I'm really in love with him. Hopefully one day Rey will be able to love me too, just like how I feel about her.

His hand was stretched out to me. I greeted him, then kissed the back of the hand. Right then, he kissed my forehead and .. hugged me.

I was immersed in her arms, feeling both outward and spiritual warmth simultaneously. "Thank you stay with me" whispered Rey later.

The air this early felt cold to my skin which was only wrapped in sleeping clothes. I was standing on the balcony waiting for dawn. After brewing tea to sow our conversation, I let Rey rest by leaning her back on the chair on the balcony of the room.

"Alea, what are you looking at?"

I looked up, looking at him with a smile. "Nothing."

"Come here!" He patted the rest of the chair beside him by sliding his butt slightly aside, giving me empty space to occupy. "I want to talk."

"Heem." I immediately took a step towards Kak Rey who was only three adults. I sat my body next to him, and leaned in there.

The breeze of the morning wind hit my face, adding to the coolness of the morning air that has not been contaminated. There was a sigh coming from Kak Rey's lips, as if there would be one big thing she wanted to say.

"To the doctor's down at night, huh? Because tomorrow I'm going to court for divorce."

I looked at her sad face. Is actually Kak Rey has not been able to release Kak Rena. "Is Brother Rey sure to part with Sister Rena? I see you love each other, but hurt each other."

"I've decided and thought about it. After this I can focus on the two of you" he said, wiping my stomach. "But, I'm not sure this divorce trial can go ahead fast. Rena ... refused divorce. There may be a lot of demands that he will make. You're patient, aren't you?"

I'm nodding. "No problem. I'll support whatever your decision is."

"good. Because it was your attitude that convinced me to make this decision." He rubbed my head. I do not understand what Kak Rey means to see from my attitude. But, I'm not worried about that.

"Sir Rey, can I ask you something? I suddenly want to do it with you."

Rey's face suddenly changed. A little bit he growled, then said, "Say!"

"I'd love to ride a tile. Above the house."

"What?" He looked surprised.

"Heem." I exhaled. It seems that my wish is impossible. My will this time was absurd. Where does a pregnant woman want to go up the roof of the house? "Sir Rey knew the moment Sizuka and Nobita were sitting on top of the house while looking at the sky. Then, suddenly there was a shooting star visible to them. I felt it was the most romantic scene. If only I could do it. With you."

Brother Rey chuckles. His big palm rubbed my head back. I'm like a little kid asking for toys instead of a wife. "You're just there."

"But I want to, Rey."

"Heem, if you go up the tile, you fall. Not romantic, but hospital."

Yeah, that's right too. Maybe it's just in the movie scenes. If in reality, there is no. But, I don't know why I'm still not willing when Rey can't fulfill my wish.

"Come, in! It's time for dawn" he said by pulling my hand to follow him inside.

***

That's right what Rey said. He came home later than usual. I don't know how many jobs he's neglected for promising to take me to the gynecologist.

I was ready to wait for him in front of the house. Because we have done the agreement before, we do not need to come in line later.

A Lexus L 500 series has stopped right in front of me. I see that Rey does not use a driver, but drives herself.

"Come, comein!" he said after opening the front door for me.

I nodded, then took a seat wearing my seatbelt before the silver car drove back.

"How was that? What's the business good?" ask me while I'm on my way.

"Yes, we'll just wait for the hearing. I hope it's over soon."

"Heem, thank goodness."

No more conversations between us. I deliberately let Rey concentrate on her vehicle because she is currently driving on her own.

It didn't take long, until we were in front of a mother and child clinic. Rey's sister parked the car first after telling me to get out to wait in the lobby.

"Mother Alea, please lie down here." A female nurse led me up to the bed, then covered half of my body with a blanket. I will do an ultrasound to see the development of the fetus in the womb.

After applying the gel to the surface of my stomach, a cold-tasting device pressed down there. And that second also heard the sound of a heartbeat along with images of fetuses that were shaped like babies appearing on the monitor screen.

Rey took my hand. We both stared at the still slow movement in the picture of the fetus. The doctor explained clearly how fetal activity, physical and motor development are said to have no problems.

"The gender is ...."

"No!" Oh, Rey and I subconsciously held the doctor back so as not to tell the gender of our child. "Let it remain a secret." Rey said with a rub of my head. I saw his eyes glittering, as if moved that he was going to be a father.

"alright. Later videos and USG photos can be taken in the administration. Again, congratulations, right? Don't forget to take the vitamins!"

After coming out of the hospital, I saw Kak Rey's expression turn cheerful. When he picked me up, he looked so tired.

"I'm going to order a special frame for our child's first photo" he said without turning to the highway.

"Sir Rey, he's not born yet." I nodded in response to his words. It's too early to take a baby picture.

"No, but the photo. That's for me. I'll keep it on my desk."

I didn't expect, Rey loves this kid so much. In fact, I previously thought he didn't care. I was still stunned and digested every word, until I realized that the road we were walking was not the way to the house.

"Sir Rey, where is this?"

I looked to the right and left, there were no more typical urban buildings. But only towering tunggi trees looked ghastly dark.

"To somewhere. I was waiting for the dark to get there."

"You didn't intend to throw me into the forest, did you?" I guessed the worst estimate, to the point of being suspicious of him.

He chuckled at my accusation. "Maybe feeding the lions these cool nights, too."

"Sir Rey!" I screamed while glaring, hitting his arm. "Your flirting isn't funny."

Rey just laughed in response to me, not the slightest intention to explain where this car will go. I finally resigned, trying to think positively that he couldn't possibly throw me away. I closed my eyes because I was suddenly sleepy.

I don't know how long I've been asleep, to the point that Rey's shaking my shoulder slowly while patting me on the cheek.

"Alea, wake! It's over."

My eyelids blinked, then looked forward to where the car had stopped somewhere.

"Where is this?" I still have confusion.

"Come, out!" He came out first, then walked around to open the door for me. His hands were outstretched helping me get down from there.

Everything's dark. Only the night wind blows harder. Then, Brother Rey led me forward and stopped right in front of the car stamp.

"Look over there!" His index finger was pointing forward. "We can see the glitter of the city buildings in a high place like this."

Yeah, correct. Along the eye of the beholder, the urban glitter looks stunningly beautiful. I don't even know if there's a place like this. I was still fascinated by the sight before me. However, Rey suddenly lifted my body, sitting it on the car stamp.

"Hey!" I was almost surprised by his sudden attitude.

"Look up!" He directed my head to look up. And then I knew what Rey meant to bring me here. "You said you wanted to see stars, didn't you? Here, you can see stars as much as you do without having to endanger yourself by riding on the roof of the house."

"Heem." I leaned my body slightly back, with both hands resting there. My eyes can not be separated from the beautiful expanse of stars flickering over the sky. "thank you. It's .. beautiful."

Rey's sister sat on the car stamp with me in the same position. We enjoy the beauty of the stars in the sky both at night. Until the night wind gets stronger. I rubbed my arms together to ward off the increasingly strong chill. However, the coldness did not last long because at that time Kak Rey took off her suit and put it on me.

"Wear this!" he said while wearing the suit to cover my body.

"Thank you."

He did not answer, but his hand touched my cheek. His face was getting closer, fusing his forehead with mine. At that moment I felt her lips draped on mine, wiping it with a gentle but slightly wild motion. I can barely keep up with it because he did it all of a sudden. I was swept away by the game so that I could not hold this body to stay seated upright.

However, when the lip meeting was not completely finished, a call from Kak Rey's phone dropped everything.

He clucked, as if unwilling to give up our kiss. While my face can no longer hide its red hue.

"Yes!" That's all Rey said. However, her previously demeaning eyes were now sharpened and looking at me with a hard-to-quantify look.

"Alea, they found your mother."
