THE ALEXIS
THE GAVE BIRTH

“Even I proposed to him at that time.“ Adit turns to Alex, wanting to see how Alex reacts when the man hears that he has proposed to Khiara.

There was no change in the face of this man beside her. He still looks so flat. Even the direction of his gaze had already shifted down there. “You don't care if I ever propose to your woman?“ ask Adit who finally chose to express his curiosity.

“You proposed to him, and you've been rejected by him. So what should I worry about?“ alex answered that. Adit smiled at the corner of his lips. It seems he can't lure Alex.

“But another case if you manage to marry her.“ Now Alex straightened his body and again slipped both hands into the pocket of his pants. “I'll take it from you,” he said while looking at Adit.

“Captured it? I'm sure I won't hand Khiara over to you easily,” Adit replied.

“Then we will be perfect rivals.“ Aditya chuckles.

Alex is right. They will both be perfect rivals. Equally powerful, equally loving one woman, and equally desiring Khiara. Adit himself could not guess who would be the champion if they were really rivals.

Even if he were one step ahead of Alex by successfully interrupting Khiara, he was not sure he would be the champion. Because of the heart of his beloved woman, only imprinted for a man. Adit looked at the man beside him with a smile back adorning the corner of his lips.

“You don't want to ask what I'll do if we become rivals?“ Alex fishing rod.

“No!“ reject Adit. “We are back to the discussion,” he continued. Alex agreed to the head move.

“Then how did he face his family?“

“Kak Kalvin returned to LA exactly two days before Khiara gave birth. At that time I had a raw bogem from him, because I thought I had impregnated his sister. But Khiara managed to explain to her brother, that it was not my son.“ Adit recalled those times.

“And at that time Khiara had started to feel the signs of giving birth. If I had been alone I might have panicked to face it. Khiara always bit her lip and touched her waist. He often tiptoes and pushes his hips, sometimes he screams when he is unable to hold it,” Adit describes how the woman they love is suffering.

“Should Khiara have a cesarean section because her pregnancy was included in a high-risk pregnancy.“

“High risk?“ ask Alex whose heart is like being pinched by an invisible hand.

“Yes, Khiara's pregnancy is very risky. First because Khiara's age is still very young time. He has not even reached nineteen years of age. Second, she had Placenta Previa, in which the fetal placenta covers most of the birth canal. And the last Khiara has myopic eyes up to minus eight, and is very risky if undergoing a normal birth.“ Adit explained.

“Makanya doctor advises to perform cesarean section. But it turns out that your son was very impatient, because he asked to get out into the world before the time came. Two months before the day set for operation.“

“Two months? That means ...“

“Yes, your baby was born prematurely. Weighing only two kilos back then,” explains Adit.

Alex looked at Adit with dew blocking his vision. His chest rumbled, but he still heard the continuation of Adit's explanation after asking, “Why can he be born prematurely?“

“Blood?“ Alex could no longer show his face. Adit was able to catch the look of shock from his opponent's face. The eyes were enlarged from before, red streaks were clearly visible in his eyes, even the body seemed to stiffen with each of his muscles hardened.

“Yes, Khiara had severe bleeding afterwards. Even we almost lost it.“

“We talk again after this,” Alex said while patting Adit on the shoulder, then passed through it. Alex can no longer hold it. He rubbed his tears violently and ran away from Adit.

For a while Adit remained silent on his position. The corner of his lips pulled upwards showed tremendous relief. He was finally able to give up Khiara for his opponent. He has given Khiara to the right person.

The man immediately turned his body and looked at Alex's back which started to disappear from behind the entrance wall. Adit knows that Alex loves Khiara very much, even being able to take care of her and the other Vita Dolce.

...***...

Alex who was in a hurry was forced to stop his steps because there was someone who was blocking him. The figure of that person's eyes was so naggingly pointed at him. The tension clenched tightly until the veins poked perfectly under the skin of his arms and face.

Alex immediately held him with one hand as soon as the fist flew towards him, so the fist went into his grip.

“Basic jerk! How dare you touch Khiara!“ hiss that guy. “I will never forgive you!“

Alex was still holding back that powerful hand thrust. Not only was this man in front of him, but he was also enveloped by anger because there were people who dared to hold back his steps. Especially when he is being hunted by time.

The woman is currently lying in her room. He desperately needed her by his side. And she must immediately relieve the fever on her body before Khiara gets tormented. But now this guy actually made him throw away a ghost just to serve him.

Alex vowed never again to let the woman of his heart go through any pain he suffered without her immediately throw his opponent's hand.

“Keep! Don't block my steps!“ serve with emphasis. He still valued this man in front of him as a friend of his woman, so as much as possible he controlled his emotions.

“Hah, do you think you can pass me that easily?“ The man sounded so haughty coupled with a grin at the corner of his right lip.

“I don't have time to serve you.“ Alex's tone sounded calm despite the heat being burned by the flames of anger.

“Then we see, can you still say that ..“ The man raised his fist back toward Alex. And at that time also heard the sound roll out from behind Alex's body.

“Stop!“ adit's orders before the fist managed to touch Alex's cheek. “Let your hands down! Give way to him, he should see Khiara.“ immediately What Adit said made the man lower his hand reluctantly.

Alex immediately walked away leaving them behind.
