The Neglected Wife
S3 EPISODE 155 - HE'S MY TREASURE
Ben had seen the things Lyra had shown him several times. Although he had seen it several times he was still always surprised especially now Lyra showed it to him.
"Lyra.... "
"Yes!! two lines!"
"I know what it means!! "
The testpack that Lyra is showing Ben is both her treasure and the secret that she has been hiding from Ed.
"Ed doesn't know yet, right? " Task Ben to Lyra.
"I don't want him to marry me just because of this baby, What should I do?!! "
The sobs of Lyra could not be contained anymore. Among the many people she knew, Lyra only wanted to share her grief with Ben because Ben was the one she could trust. Because Ben was always like that without ever reneging on his promise.
"Oh Lyra, you should know that Ed really loves you, we know that he.. "
"Ben!! "
Lyra stopped Ben's words in a very firm tone.
"If he loves me, why hasn't that proposal happened yet? Why didn't he rush our marriage when to ask for such a difficult blessing then why did he hang me with a fiancee status?!! "
"Lyra maybe Ed just doesn't know or feel like you're still not ready, have you ever talked about this? "
The look on Lyra's face now returned with sadness, as if all the feelings she had kept on holding back were now all just flowing out.
"You don't think I'm trying to talk about this? every time I talk, does he run away? I feel like a beggar asking for a wedding from his fiancee"
Beggars...
That's how Lyra felt when she had to beg Ed about the wedding. Lyra tries everything from casual talk to a little asking. Lyra said she wanted their marriage to be hastened but Lyra was helpless when Ed did not respond at all.
"I don't want this child to be the reason for our marriage, I can really raise it myself, I promised myself that this time would definitely work but I also want this child to be raised by his parents with love"
"This child's problem, who - who knows this problem? Have you talked about it to anyone else? "
Ben doesn't want this to be big news because it will be bad for Lyra's psychic health.
"You and Johnny know this"
"Johnny? Who's Johnny? "
"The doctor who examined me, happened to be a month ago he came back from the island, he knew right away that I was pregnant and helped me check on this baby"
Lyra stroked her belly, now there was a little life from inside her body. His treasure and his life. The baby who has now almost entered four months is now a priceless treasure for him.
"you mustn't stress Lyra, if you don't want to happen again, after I see again it's a little bit different in your stomach"
Ben only realized that after learning that there was a baby in Lyra's stomach.
"It's going to be different Ben, I swear I'm going to give birth to this baby safely and healthily but I'm confused whether I should tell Ed or not?"
Ben thought back to see what might happen.
"For now that you're quiet first, I'll try to talk to Ed, just calm down this time we can all be happy"
A word of encouragement from Ben changed his heart. Lyra begins to feel confident that it is her turn to be happy.

"What's wrong? "
"There's a guest sir"
Ed put on a lazy face and replied...
"I don't want to take guests"
"It's me"
Ben entered Ed's office without permission. Ben knew Gerrard was having trouble evicting him from the house, though his master did not want to receive guests.
"Home home I'm not in the mood to talk to you"
"Lyra just met me"
Ed immediately stood up from his chair and stared in surprise at Ben.
"How are things? she ignored all my messages and phone calls.. Ben I don't know what to do?!!"
Ben could see Ed who was almost crazy, his eyes looked sleep deprived and his face was not in good condition. Ben knows that Ed loves Lyra so much, but Ed can't figure out what Lyra wants.
"Lyra said you and Marley were trying to get me to have dinner with Marley, why? "
"Marley just wants to talk to you and if I can take you I'll get what I want from Marley"
"You like Marley? "
Brakk!!! Ed hit his desk with all his might.
"I'll never let you talk to me like that again! You have to know what you can say and not say. My love for Lyra is not something I can deny by liking other women!! "
Ben could see the anger from Ed's current face. His white face seemed to burn with the anger he showed.
"Then why are you treating Lyra like that in front of other women? You think how Lyra feels... "
"It's for her sake too!!! I did all this for Lyra!! " Shouted Ed.
Ed yelled again because he was upset and he looked more chaotic.
"What do you mean? "
"By my gift to Lyra, for Lyra's sake I want to give her everything she wants, and Marley has all those gifts and I need them! I have to get that woman to give me what I want"
Ben understood a little but the gift that Ed meant made him even more confused.
"What gift do you mean? "
"Marriage ring.Tear rings of heaven with pink diamond stone that Lyra wanted as a wedding ring, a ring of relics of the French Empire, the one who's already at auction and the owner of the ring is Marley".
Ben knew for sure what Lyra wanted was not the ring but the wedding itself.
"Did Lyra really ask you for the ring? "
"What?! sure did?! Lyra said she wanted a wedding ! especially a wedding with the ring!"
Ben shook his head, he was very upset by the insensitivity of his best friend.
"It wasn't the ring she wanted but the wedding. The ring is just an example that he wants a wedding with a ring, don't you understand that? "
Ed only realized that what Lyra wanted was not a wedding ring but what Lyra wanted was a wedding itself.
