The Incomplete Love
My Baby Mother

Over the weekend, Thoriq decided to look for Qiara to some relatives in Central and East Java.

Hanna insisted on coming along and waiting at Grandpa's house.

Thoriq did not say much upon arrival at Grandpa and Grandma's house, he just said he wanted to find Qiara.

Grandpa and Grandma felt guilty seeing Thoriq who looked careless. The man's Netra endured the tremendous pain.

After looking to and fro for two days, Thoriq returned to Grandpa and Grandma's house empty-handed. Hanna welcomes him, she misses Thoriq dearly and is relieved Qiara is not found.

Hanna wanted to let go of the longing, but seeing Thoriq greeting her with a flat face, she chose to step aside and go with her friends. Thoriq agreed because he needed time to be alone. After all, Hanna was not the person she wanted to meet right now.

After cleaning the body, Thoriq pensive on the terrace.

“Qia, I can't let you go. Mas's heart is too sick even though it is not how much pain that Mas gives,” murmured while staring at the photo of the two of Qiara while they were on vacation to the beach.

Grandma was quietly observing her grandson.

Slowly near him the desperate man.

“Nek..”.

“Give up Qia who chose to leave you. There's Hanna and baby who need your affection and love.”

“Grandpa and Grandma are asking for too much.”

“Then you want what Thoriq. Lamenting Qia's departure? She shouldn't have to go hear of Hanna.”'s pregnancy

Thoriq frowned.

“According to Grandma, should Qia not be disappointed? Thoriq married again, she had to let her husband share the bed with another woman. Her husband's second wife is pregnant. Should we ask Qiara to be receptive? Aren't we being too cruel to Qiara? What's more ... what's more ..” Thoriq covers the face with both hands.

“What's more, son? What have you not told Grandma?”

“Thoriq, don't keep anything secret from Grandma.”

Reluctant, yet honest. Thoriq played CCTV footage at Qiara's house. I don't know how many times Thoriq watched the video.

Grandma was watching carefully. The meek woman covered her gaped mouth with her wiggly fingers, staring in disbelief as Hanna pretended to fall and accused Qiara of pushing her away.

“Thoriq Aditya!” Grandma snapped when she saw Thoriq slap twice and pushed Qiara to the end of the table. Then saw the little woman moaning in pain and unconsciousness after the neighbors came.

The woman looked at Thoriq with anger, then stood up and slapped Thoriq hard.

“Grandma and Grandpa raised you well! We don't teach you to hit women for whatever reason!”

While crying, Thoriq knelt down before Grandma.

“Grandma, hit Thoriq. Whatever it was would not hurt more than the pain Qiara received. Grandma, Thoriq loves Qiara. She was the only woman in Thoriq's heart. But what Thoriq did to her. Thoriq married again. Thoriq impregnates Hanna. Thoriq hurt her repeatedly. When Hanna is pregnant, Thoriq starts to open her heart to her. Until inexplicably Thoriq turned a deaf ear to listen to Qiara, the meek woman who could not possibly hurt anyone.”

The man was crying out loud in front of the woman who raised him.

“Thoriq doesn't want to lose Qiara, Grandma. She's the only woman Thoriq loves until anytime.”

Grandma held onto Thoriq's shoulder asking him to go back to sit on the chair with her. Grandma hugged him until Thoriq cried on his shoulder.

Hanna who had returned quietly listened to the conversation of Thoriq and Grandma.

Withholding anger, he returned to the room.

“Job! Thoriq showed the tape to Grandma. After I took the trouble of influencing Grandpa and Grandma that Qiara was a jealous wife due to my pregnancy. Goddamnit!”

Hanna flailing a pillow. Suddenly the door opened. Thoriq came in to see Hanna who was emotional.

“Don't indulge Hanna's emotions. My baby will be sad.”

“Mas! How long will Hanna be punished? Hanna's pregnant with Mas's son. This Mas is busy looking for Mbak Qiara. I'm supposed to focus on Hanna.”

Thoriq walked over to Hanna. He knelt down in front of his wife and kissed the belly that contained his seed.

“Hanna, has Mas ever been remiss in looking after you? Whatever your request regarding pregnancy, always fulfill it. Mas fulfill the obligation of giving a living of inner birth,” reply Thoriq calmly.

“But Mas did it without love!” Hanna blurted out her emotions.

Thoriq kissed once again the stomach of his wife.

“From the beginning, I loved what was in my stomach. My heart was open to you, but what? You back to acting. Now I can't open my heart to you. But calm Hanna, you are a trust that will continue to be guarded because you are the mother of my baby.”

“Can't Mas re-open the heart to Hanna?”

“Mas will try, but currently can't.” Thoriq got up and walked out.

“Rest, tonight Mas sleep in the next room. They need to be alone. And don't be sad, later my baby will cry in your stomach.”

Hanna looked at the back of her husband who passed with tears. Back to lamenting the unattainable love.
