The Antagonist
Stay With You

“What does Mama mean?” Abimayu asked not to like. Moreover, seeing his silent wife, daydreaming about her mother's questions. Abimayu could not bear to see that. The question of the child is indeed sensitive among young brides.

The atmosphere at the dining table was gripping and awkward. Not only did Nayla and Abimayu feel, but Ayu who was not involved in the chat also felt. The girl was inward, the mother should not have talked about the topic. However, her brother's marriage has not entered a year, so naturally they have not been blessed with children.

The hand of Nayla by Abimayu to bring her back to sit beside her. The woman was slightly snapped at the touch, her eyes and the husband exchanged glances. He gave her a smile, indicating that she was okay. Though deep in his heart he is not calm, is he who is condemned can not have children will also occur in this life?

“Mama speaks as per reality. Supposedly, a one-two-month marriage. You've been blessed with children.” Widya spoke in a non-wearing tone. Especially when he remembered his social friends began to show off their grandchildren. Especially Mita, who always just cornered him. Widya really does not like that, she wants to always look the most perfect of her friends.

“The child is a gift of God, Mah. There because of His permission, and we can only try.” Abimayu sighed. “Again there is still a lot we want to do before becoming parents, so Mama be patient.” Widya looks grunting.

Nayla is deep. ‘The two-word old man is it possible that it will happen to him?

“Halah.” Widya waved her hand. “Don't tell me one of you is infertile?!” The girl's eyes squinted. Nayla lowered her head, squeezing both her hands under the table.

“Mood!” Abimayu and Ayu said together. Widya did not care, now started eating her food.

Abimayu rubbed her face rough, her mother was already very outrageous.

“We ate in the room.” He took Nayla's hand. The woman looked up and shook her head, feeling disrespectful eating in the room while the mother-in-law was here. However, he still had to respect the middle-aged woman after her hurtful speech. Nayla could not retaliate not because she was weak or respected Widya too much, but because her heart justified her in-laws.

“Do not refuse.” He said it sounded firm. Even Nayla who returned wanted to refuse was made silent by him. “Must 'do I reiterate my current position!” nayla followed her husband to eat in their room. Some waiters followed to bring a tray filled with food.

“And yes.. I am very grateful for the attention of Mama who has been willing to interfere in my life.” Abimayu's wheelchair movement stopped. “Usually also Mama does not care about my life and Ayu.” Widya and Indra are always busy with their lives, Abimayu and Ayu since childhood they always leave with their caregivers. When growing up, both parents chose to live in the country of people. Going home can even be counted by hand and that too only for a short while. The attitude shown by both parents raises the question for Abimayu and Ayu, do both parents care about them?

Abimayu passes with Nayla there, leaving Widya who is still digesting the words of the child.

Ayu smiled wryly, “Right sister.” Widya glanced at him. The girl kept the cutlery that she had been eating earlier, and then passed from there. Widya is getting pensive.

Contrary to the atmosphere of the Bhaskara family, Munandra family now looks warm to enjoy their breakfast.

“Eating a lot of dear, pregnant women need a lot of nutritional intake.” Said mama Barra was so attentive to a woman who now seemed to spout a red sheen on her cheeks that began to stye.

“Ahhhh, enough Barra. My plate is full, I won't be able to spend it.” Barra shook her head slowly with a smile looking at Maya's cute pursed lips. The pregnant woman made it clear not to put any more food on her plate. Everyone who saw seemed to be smiling with his manner.

Since Maya's pregnancy was revealed, Barra immediately invited her to marry at that time. Their marriage was not too crowded. However, it means a lot to both.

Munandra's extended family attended, they had no reason to refuse the marriage. Especially after Barra explained that the revival of the Munandra Group company was also due to the hard work of Maya, the mother of her son.

Yes, he immediately claimed that the child conceived by Maya was his son. Although not his first love, he was the first to touch her. There was nothing in her dictionary to doubt the woman, she loved Maya so much.

“Grandmother is happy, this house will soon be decorated with cries and laughter of small children.” Barra's grandmother who usually seemed to be at odds with others was now more calm and often displayed a smile because she was too happy with the existence of the first great-grandson of the Munandra family.

And the most happy there is Mita, the mother of Barra, the woman was satisfied to show off her son's marriage as well as immediately have grandchildren. His social friends seemed jealous of the existence of his grandson, especially he who was satisfied to corner Widya helplessly. Given that, Mita giggled to herself.

“Just keep your womb dear and give birth safely.” Mita's message has been repeatedly to Maya. Darian, Mita's husband, nodded in agreement.

“Your health is also most important.” Barra said, holding Maya's hand.

“Ah, of course the most important Maya health.” Mita is connecting.

Maya does not not not know that this family is more inclined to fetuses in the womb, and not because they really like it. However, it doesn't matter. He could ignore it all as long as he got happiness here.

“Please do not take heart sayings mama.” Nayla turned to Abimayu, then nodded. A look back at the flower beds in the back garden.  Both were on the balcony, after enjoying breakfast.

“Sayang.” Abimayu immediately hugged his wife who looked dreamy since the incident. Nayla looks moody, eating her just a little more than usual. The man immediately carried the wife in his chest.

“How about I'm barren?” nayla asked suddenly, creating a silence between them. Not getting a response from Abimayu, Nayla ventured to look up to see her husband's reaction directly. However, he must be able to accept if Abimayu wants to remarry.

“If I am barren how?” Abimayu turned the question upside down. Nayla frowned to herself.

“Kok, even behind nanya.”

“Jawab only.” Abimayu's face looks ordinary. Not knowing his wife is in a dilemma, prepare the heart to let the husband marry again.

“Of course I will be with you, no matter what happens, there is a child or not.” Nayla said firmly, her eyes showing solemnity. But here, I'm the barren one. Inner that woman.

“But how? You ‘kan the only child Papa Arsyad and mama Nila.” Abimayu raised both his eyebrows staring at his wife.

“Just will stay with you.” Nayla hugged Abimayu tightly, giving up her husband's thought of remarrying. Let the time that will determine it later, for now Abimayu is his.

“Then I did too. Whatever happens, I will stay with you. No one can replace you as the only wife of Abimayu Bhaskara.” The speech was not just to calm the wife, but was sincere from her heart.

“Many ways to get a child, technology is getting more sophisticated as long as there is money. And you know for yourself, your husband's money is a lot.” Abimayu ended with an awkwardness so that the wife did not worry too much about the child. He opens people who hold the principle of 'there must be children in a marriage'. If given the confidence to have children, then he will be grateful. If not, it doesn't matter.

“If it all does not work, we will adopt a child.” Yes, whatever Abimayu will do as long as the wife stays with him. Nayla is getting a hug.
