The Childish Husband

The Childish Husband
Kode


"It's all healthy, Mom. The baby is healthy, the mother is the same, too" the doctor said, relieving the hearts of Lestari and Mama Rita. Meanwhile, Papa Darman was waiting outside the room.


After checking everything, they went outside the room. Unexpectedly, it turns out that next to Papa Darman who was sitting, there was Ben. Her husband she had not seen for a long time.


Lestari was confused. In her heart she missed her husband. However, on the other hand, he knows that Ben's heart is no longer for him, but for other women.


Ben and Lestari looked at each other. But, there was not a word they took out. Papa Darman coded Mama Rita to leave. He wants to give Ben and Lestari space to solve the problem.


"Ma, come on," whispered Papa Darman, initially unable to be captured by Mama Rita. But then he can understand it.


"Sister?" greet Ben while approaching the woman who is still his status as his wife.


Lestari could only be silent. His tears wanted to fall, but he managed to hold it. They both walked towards the car park.


"Sorry yes, Brother," said Ben. Those are the only words that are spoken. Makes Lestari wonder what that means.


"For?" ask Lestari. He doesn't know what Ben's apologizing for. Either for permission to divorce him, polygamy himself, or even intend to turn his heart to him. But no, Lestari quickly dismissed the latter's guess was his mind. It can't be dependent on Ben. He must rise. Whatever happens, it has to be strong.


"For everything I've done to you" Ben said. His right hand was about to grab Lestari's left hand. However, it was prevented by the woman. He doesn't want to be touched by Ben.


"I'm sorry, really," said Lestari. "Hp you sound, someone's calling." Lestari sees Ben's cell phone being contacted by a woman named Clara.


Now Lestari knows, so the woman's name is Clara. He could no longer hold back his tears. His move accelerated when Ben stopped the move for checking his phone.


Lestari covered her mouth with both hands. It feels so painful. Why would Ben apologize if he made a mistake?


Arriving at Papa Darman's car, Lestari hugged Mama Rita's body tightly. She was crying out there.


On the other hand, Ben was picking up the phone from Clara. "Why?" ask Ben with a ketus.


"Where are you going? I miss you" said Clara in a spoiled tone. He doesn't know if Ben's actually starting to get bored with him.


"We broke up. Forget me, forget all about us. I'm leaving." That's all Ben said. He blocked Clara's number. He also plans to change the number so that Clara can no longer contact him.


Ben rushed after Lestari. However, it did not work because Papa Darman's car has been driving since two minutes ago.


The man rattled his waist. He's pissed off. Why when he wants to restore his relationship with Lestari as before, Clara actually thwarted everything.


He became worried that Lestari would not meet him. But, he then dismissed the thought because Ben already knew Lestari had been living in his parents' house. Ben drove to Papa Darman's house.


Elsewhere, Clara seems so frustrated that her number is blocked by Ben. He used another number to try to contact Ben. However, the result is nil.


Her tears began to fall unstoppable. "Damn it! Bad ben!" he screamed by the road. Both of his high heels were covered with his left hand. Her make up has worn off. Clara was really depressed. "Tell you, Ben!"

Only then did he realize that his true love was Lestari. While Clara, just interested in a glance. He is tired of being in a relationship with Clara.


"Darling?" call Ben to Lestari who is having dinner with Papa Darman and Mama Rita.


But, Lestari did not look at it one bit. He enjoyed his dinner.


Impatiently, Ben sat right next to Lestari. He held the legitimate woman's hand. "Lestari darling?" call it dear. Unlike before, it is more convenient to call Lestari by the name of kak.


"What, Ben?" lirih Lestari's.


"I'm sorry. I was khilaf yesterday. I want to go back to how it was. We're one house, love each other." Ben revealed his deepest heart. His face looked so serious.


Lestari swallowed her saliva. What did Ben really say? If so, this is the moment he has been waiting for the most. His heart is always open to Ben. With a note, leave Clara.


"But, that woman, how's Clara?" ask Lestari. He does not want to be combined. Better take care of herself with the baby later. Rather than sharing your heart with another woman.


"I've left him. I was just really khilaf yesterday, honey. Now we start all over again, yeah." Ben gave his request. Hoping for Lestari to open her heart.


"As long as it's just me and you, I want to" Lestari replied. "But if there's another woman. Sorry, Ben. I'm better off on my own." After all, which woman wants to be combined.


Papa Darman who had just been silent, now started talking. "Listen, Ben. Dance has given you a chance. Don't waste it anymore" Papa Darman said.


"Definitely, Pa. I was really khilaf yesterday. Now I'm conscious." Ben repeatedly assured everyone that he was now back on the right track.


"Papa and Mama used to be like you. But if the soul mate, yes like this, back again," said Mama Rita. He had indeed gone through times like what Dari experienced.


Ben hugged Lestari who was beside him. Lestari gave a reply by putting her head on Ben's shoulder. His hands were holding Ben's body.

A few months passed. Ben and Lestari are getting romantic every day. Moreover, now the age of Lestari content is at nine months.


He was so grateful because it turns out Ben can also act mature. After the events of that time, Ben became more attentive to Dance. Not so childish as the beginning of marriage.


Today, they will fly to Singapore. Lestari will give birth at one of the hospitals there. Ben will always be with her. He also wanted to see the baby for the first time to see the world.


"Pa, Mama. We left first, yes," said Ben to Papa Darman and Mama Rita. His parents drove him to the airport.


After a long wait for the flight, Lestari and Ben finally flew to Singapore.


After three days in Singapore, Lestari gave birth to a son. His face is very similar to Ben's. But, her chubby cheeks were very similar to Lestari's. The baby was named Divo Brian Bumantara.
