The Love of a Mr. Nauder
Punishment

Aaron laid his body beside Leana, then he hugged Leana from behind and took care of his wife's stomach. "Thank you, honey, for giving me another chance" Aaron said.

Leana did not reply, the beautiful woman remained silent. Even though he gave Aaron a chance, it still felt so painful that he was only able to close his lips.

Aaron let go of his embrace, then he gently pulled Leana's shoulder until Leana now turned her head, then after that Aaron pulled Leana's hand, until now their position face to face.

Aaron stroked Leana's cheek, so quickly Leana immediately removed Aaron's hand from his cheek.

"I did give you a chance, but that doesn't mean I forgive you completely. You get it, don't you, I mean?" ask Leana.

"I understand" answered Aaron. It's like it's not Aaron that's all this time seen, where it looks arrogant, assertive and never willing to budge with anyone. But now, Aaron is like a helpless man waiting for forgiveness from his wife.

"Yes, we'll be home in the afternoon. We're going to my aunt's house" Aaron said.

Leana did not answer, the woman turned back to Aaron until Aaron hugged Leana from behind. Her hands were unceasingly stroking Aaron's stomach, while Leana just thought of something and smiled bitterly.

"After this child is born, will your attitude hurt Yuma and Yumi again?" ask Leana.

Aaron quickly got up from lying down until his head looked at Leana's face. "No, Honey. Where possible? They are my daughters, where I might distinguish them," he said.

It felt, Aaron's words were so painful to remember about Aaron who told Yuma and Yumi to call him 'uncle', until now Leana was completely untouched by her husband's words.

"I'm sleepy. Don't bother me, I want to sleep" said Leana until Aaron returned to lay his head on the pillow and continued to stroke his wife's stomach.

"Yumi, what's wrong with you? Didn't I tell you, don't you ever assume she exists? Then why did you forgive him and call him 'daddy' again?" yuma asked that direct emotion to Yumi as Aaron left the room occupied by them.

Yumi looked towards Yuma. "Yuma, if you don't want to be nice to Daddy, yeah. That's, isn't it, your business, not mine. Why are you banning me too?" tanyanya.

"Yumi, you were yesterday according to me, but now why not?" insinuations.

"Because I still love Daddy. It's up to you to continue like this" Yumi said.

"Yumi, I want to grab your hair" Yuma said.

"Jambak, I still have Daddy," he said. After that, Yumi immediately got out of bed because she was afraid of the threat of her brother, because Yumi knew what if her brother went berserk.

"Just give it up" said Yuma. He immediately laid his body back on the bed, then covered his entire body with a blanket. Actually, there was envy towards Yumi, where she also wanted to act like the younger sister who could instantly forgive the father, but somehow it was all hindered by prestige, he said, he refuses to act like Yumi.

"No, I'll never forgive him. I'll never admit it" Yuma said. He continued muttering saying the same words, but his heart said another.

Time shows at four in the afternoon. In the end, Leana agrees to get out of this hotel and stay at aunt's house, let alone her aunt already waiting there.

"Yumi, where's Yuma?" leana asked as Yumi was on the sofa.

"Yuma doesn't want to go out, Mommy," he said.

"I will persuade Yuma first" Leana told Aaron. She could have talked to her husband, but her eyes were still the same. He looked at Aaron with a cold face, until Aaron nodded.

"Daddy," call Yumi.

Aaron approached Yumi, then he carried her daughter's body. He was really grateful that Yumi was willing to forgive him, at least the burden was not too heavy. It was inconceivable that Yumi would not forgive him. Perhaps, Yumi goes down Leana's nature, while Yuma goes down Geo's stubborn nature and is unwilling to budge on anyone.

Aaron takes Yumi to the sofa, and after that he sits himself there and sits Yumi on his lap. "You miss Daddy?" ask Aaron.

"I miss you so much, but Yuma always scolds me when I talk about Daddy. Oh yeah, do you know, I got a lot of dolls by Grandpa. Can I buy another doll?" ask Yumi.

"Of course, hon. You can buy whatever you want, even one doll shop Daddy's gonna buy you. But Daddy asked for help" Aaron said.

"What?" ask Yumi.

"Please always persuade Yuma to forgive Daddy so we can play together" Aaron said.

"Sure, but I'm not sure. He's stubborn. He always scolded me when I spoke," said Yumi again who complained to Aaron, until Aaron chuckled.

Aaron takes Yumi back into his arms. God truly blessed Aaron, and he was still given a chance to make amends, even though he knew Leana would change and not be what she used to be, but it was better than her losing all three loved ones.

***

Leana went into the room. The woman shook her head when she saw Yuma who was still lying down, while Yuma immediately turned her head when she saw the door open.

"Mommy, if you want to go with him, just go. I'll go with grandfather," Yuma said.

Seeing Yuma's attitude like this, reminded him of Geo and when he remembered Geo, he recalled something again. 'Geo may one day tell you that Yuma and Yumi are your children, but of course that's after your relationship with Claudia improves. I'm sure one day you can open your heart to Claudia.' Leana nodded and then she continued her steps, then approached Yuma.

"Yuma" call Leana. She stroked Yuma's hair.

"Don't hold it" said Yuma.

"Please don't be like this, son," said Leana again.

"Then, what should I do? Wasn't Uncle Aaron throwing us out?!" Yuma shouted, for the first time he raised his tone to the mother. While Leana, she remained patient. She stroked Yuma's hair.

"Mommy knows you still love Daddy. You're just mad at him. Mommy understands what you want, so Mommy will follow whatever you say. You want to get out of here without him, don't you?" ask Leana.

It seemed, Leana could not persuade Yuma well, until she finally persuaded Yuma in this way, because she believed that Yuma was actually just a prestige.

Hearing Leana's words, it was already proven true when Yuma fell silent as Leana said she would no longer be with Aaron, making Leana secretly smile.

"Yes let's say goodbye to him, we go with grandfather and we will no longer be back here" Leana said. He got up from his seat.

"Yes let's go. If it wasn't for Yumi, I wouldn't go with her anymore" said Yuma, who got off the bed, then she walked out of the room, giving Leana a chuckle.

"Lord, I hope my steps are not wrong" said Leana. He looked down, then stroked his stomach, thinking this was all God's will.

"You will be able to enjoy the affection of a father, just like your two older sisters used to be" Leana said. After that he immediately followed Yuma to come out.

"Yumi," called Yuma when she was on the sofa, until Aaron turned his head. Aaron immediately lowered Yumi from his lap, then he immediately approached Yuma.

"So, are you coming home with Daddy?" ask Aaron.

Yuma did not answer. He approached Yumi and pulled his sister's hand and then came out of the hotel room to make Aaron shake his head.

No one spoke in the car. Leana sat in the back with Yuma who turned her gaze the other way, while Yumi who was sitting in the front, playing Aaron's phone, saw the video on YouTube of the father because it was so long ago, Yumi often uses Aaron's phone because they are still not given a phone by Leana.

When he saw Yumi holding his father's phone, Yuma stole a glance at his sister. In the little girl's mind, of course she wanted to do like Yumi, but everything was hindered by prestige.

While Leana, her gaze towards the window. Leana's feeling was so floating. He wanted to go through everything like water, but he remembered everything. To forget is hard.

After a long journey, finally the car driven by Aaron arrived at his aunt's house, which is also as luxurious as the house that Aaron occupied yesterday.

Yumi screamed when she saw Ana in front. The little girl got out of the car and ran towards Ana until Ana bent her legs, equalizing with Yumi.

"Grandmother, Grandma misses you so much" Ana said. Before long, Ana looks towards Leana and Yuma who are walking towards her, while Aaron is still behind to clear the suitcase and also waiting for Steve who was in the taxi.

"Auntie," call Leana.

Leana immediately hugged Ana. For some reason, she wanted to hug the middle-aged woman and a second later, Leana was crying as she pleased in Ana's arms.

"It's okay, everything's gonna be fine. Nothing will happen" Ana said, stroking Leana's back. After which, Leana immediately let go of her embrace.

"Hello Yuma, why don't you hug Grandma?" ask Ana. He bent his legs, aligned himself with Yuma.

"Hello Grandma," said Yuma.

Ana frowned when she saw Yuma's reaction, so she turned to Leana. "Later I will explain it Auntie,” replied Leana.

Ana, who understands Leana, immediately allows Yuma and Yumi and Leana to enter.

***

Time shows at eight o'clock. The atmosphere of the dining room was so quiet, all eating quietly including Yuma and Yumi. Once in a while, Yumi asks Aaron to cut the food on the plate, while Yuma has been looking at Yumi. He was eager to grab his sister's hair.

Indeed, Yuma wants to be like Yumi who is approaching Aaron, but of course he is still stymied by anger until that is why, he can only look at Yumi with annoyance. Leana, meanwhile, focused on her food.

Finally, the meal was over. Ana has gone to the room, as well as Steve who has also come home because Steve decided to go home, because he wants to meet with Rea as soon as possible.

"Let's go to the room" Aaron said as Leana got up from her seat. Leana did not reply, she just followed Aaron's steps and then they went inside.

Leana immediately laid her body on the bed curled back to her back, while Aaron decided to go to the bathroom first to clean himself up.

Twenty minutes later, Aaron came out of the bathroom. The man was neat in his pajamas and it turned out that when he came out, Leana was no longer behind him. The woman fell asleep on her back. Apparently, Leana's asleep. The woman seemed to be very exhausted, because during her separation from Aaron, Leana rarely fell asleep.

At night, he spends his time praying and contemplating everything. That was why when now when he was not worrying about anything anymore, he immediately fell asleep venting the reduced sleep time.

Aaron threw a towel on the sofa, then he walked towards the bed and then he sat down next to his wife. Aaron slightly opened his wife's pajamas to look at Leana's stomach, then he kissed the belly of the woman he loved so much that she unconsciously fell straight out of Aaron's embrace.

"Thank you, thank you for being in Mommy's womb" Aaron said. At least, the child in Leana's womb is a reinforcement of his love with his wife, binding Leana to continue to be beside him.

After quite satisfied looking at Leana who was sleeping, Aaron immediately raised his legs and lay next to his wife. Instead of closing his eyes, Aaron looked at Leana's face, enjoying a very beautiful view, because Aaron liked it most when he saw Leana until Aaron closed his eyes and tried to sleep.

***

The night changed in the morning. Aaron awakens when the sunlight slips into the room. He rubbed his eyes, then after that turned his head towards the clock, it turned out that time showed at eight in the morning.

Leona was no longer beside him. Instantly, misgivings whack Aaron. What if Leana, Yuma and Yumi leave secretly? The handsome man immediately got up from his lying down, then he ran outwards.

But before long, Aaron took a breath. Apparently, the voice of Leana who was chatting with the aunt. The man decided to turn around, then return to his room to refresh himself.

Half an hour later, Aaron came out of the room intending to approach his wife. However, he frowned when Leana was nowhere, even though half an hour ago his wife was chatting with the aunt.

"Auntie, have you seen Leana?" aaron asked when he saw his aunt in the park.

"Oh, maybe it's on the balcony" replied Ana.

"Then Yuma and Yumi?" tanyakanya.

"They were swimming with the waiter. Already, let Yuma and Yumi be with the waiter. You approach Leana" Ana replied until Aaron nodded.

The man immediately walked towards the balcony, and sure enough, there was Leana there who seemed to be enjoying the cool air in the morning. Aaron walked slowly and then hugged Leana from behind until his shoulders tiptoed.

"You surprised me" said Leana.

Aaron chuckles, but Aaron's tightness changes when Leana throws Aaron's hand from his waist. "Don't be like this" said Leana until Aaron came forward and aligned himself with his wife.

"Do you like this house, or do you want to live in another one?" bargain Aaron.

"No, I like it," Leana answered briefly, densely and clearly making Aaron sigh then turn around and lean his body against the wall.

"Didn't you crave something? Does our kid want some weird food or something?" ask again.

"No, she doesn't want anything" Leana replied.

Aaron nodded his head. It seemed, it was a little difficult to persuade Leana.

"I don't want to meet Melissa. If you meet him, don't bring him here. It's up to you to meet anywhere" Leana said, rounding Aaron's eyes. She thought Leana had believed that she no longer wanted to be in contact with Melisa, but now she was talking about Melisa instead.

"Why are you talking about that, honey? Didn't I tell you, I won't be in contact with him anymore? You can take my phone, I'll always be twenty-four hours with you, so there's nothing you need to fear" Aaron said.

"I'm not afraid of losing you," Leana replied making Aaron sigh.

"I'm the one who's afraid of losing you," said Aaron making Leana cluck, of course Leana's whisper was heard by the man.

"What if we go around in the back garden?" take Aaron.

"No, lazy," the answer was brief. Leana turned around and she immediately left Aaron and decided to rest, making Aaron shake his head. The man also followed. It seemed, Aaron really had to be a madman and had to endure the coldness of his wife.

***

While on the other hand, Melisa kept walking to and fro. From yesterday, he was locked up in a room in someone's apartment, of course it was done by Ana's aide. The woman had tried to escape, unfortunately Melisa could not go out or could not call anyone for help, because her bag was seized by Felix until now she could only cry for her fate. He needs his men to lie about his men who managed to harm Ana.

Had his men been honest, maybe yesterday he had not come to Aaron's house to avoid the middle-aged woman, but the rice had already become porridge. Melisa must accept her destiny, which is to deal with Ana.

Before long, Melisa stopped her steps then closed her eyes holding back in fury. He held his stomach in pain, because from the morning he had not gotten any food at all. He turned around and walked towards the door.

"Please open the door! Give me some food!" shout Melisa. He kept shouting, until in the end Melisa's struggle was not in vain. The door opened, appearing the figure of Felix throwing bread at Melisa. The bread was so small, even Felix did not give Melisa a drink.
