"Darling.." Call Sherah to Juan, the man standing on his back on the balcony, with both hands in his pocket.
Syera walked over and hugged her husband from behind, leaning her head on the husband's strapping back. Although, her embrace was not too tight because her big belly was blocking.
"What's up, baby?" Juan asked, he turned around and looked at the beautiful face of the wife. He framed her gently and then kissed her forehead.
"You why? I noticed, you were moody all the time." Behind Syera asked, she looked up at the handsome face of her husband.
"It's okay, honey. It's just that my mood's been a little bad lately." Juan answered, though he was worried about his wife. He was afraid, completely afraid of facing the day of their son's birth. Although he was very much waiting for that day, so was Syera who was already impatient for their son's presence. But he was afraid of that day.
"You why? Dong's story, I'm your wife."
"Hmmm, I'm just worried about you, baby."
"I? But, I'm fine." Shera replied, but Juan hugged his wife, rubbing her back gently.
"I'm scared, baby. Promise me that on the day of labor you'll be fine."
"Yes, I'll be fine. You have to go with me, right?"
"Of course, I'll accompany you, baby." Syera replied, she also gently kissed the right and left cheeks of the wife. Then kiss Syera's friendly lips, smear her slowly.
Syera was also washed away by Juan's kiss, she wrapped her hands around her husband's firm neck, while Juan's hands were at Syera's waist. A few minutes later, the kiss ended. Juan fused their eyebrows together, so that Syera could feel Juan's warm breath and refreshing mint-flavored, making Syera never bored.
"Shhhh.." Hissing slowly made Juan surprised, he looked at his wife's face with worry.
"What's up, baby? Is anyone sick?" Juan asked in panic.
"Obviously, he kicked pretty hard." Syera replied, the kick of the baby is strong enough to make his stomach hurt, even so strong Syera until thinned in his pants. Fortunately, he always uses a pantyliner now so as not to get wet everywhere.
"God, like he can't wait to meet us. Isn't that right, baby?" Juan asked as he gently rubbed his wife's distended stomach. Then crouch down, align the position of his body with the wife's stomach and kiss her several times.
"Geek, just a few more days we'll meet. Don't be naughty with Mama yeah, don't be so hard on her kasian Mama." Said Juan softly, as if he was asking his baby to talk. In response, the baby kicked her stomach again to make Syera grimace again.
"Aassshhhhhh.."
"It was so bad, you know what Papah said? Don't fuss, we'll meet soon." Juan again kissed his wife's stomach and stood up.
"Let's go in, the night wind doesn't suit you, Bby."
"Hmmm, okay." Syera replied, the two of them went into the room. Juan closed the glass door that connected the room with the balcony and closed the curtains tightly. Then he laid his body beside his wife and hugged her. Juan's new habit, since Syera was pregnant was always to rub his wife's distended stomach gently.
Of course Syera won't refuse that because she likes her. A swab of Juan's hand on his stomach, making him feel more comfortable and finally able to fall asleep soundly. Not to mention the husband's warm embrace and his body scent, really like a good lullaby to Syera.
"Sleep to my wife, baby." Lirih Juan, until finally Syera fell asleep in the arms of her husband. Always like this. Syera always sleeps in Juan's arms, if not in his arms already made sure that Syera will not be able to sleep. If you can sleep, you must be restless and not sound at all.
The next day, Syera went out of the room with Juan. The atmosphere this morning felt colder than usual, Juan frowned when he saw his mother, and his father-in-law sat in the living room facing each other. They engaged in quite serious talks like his, visible from his second expression.
"Roman.."
"Yes, what's wrong? You look serious, is there anything you want to talk about?" Ask Roberts. The middle-aged man sighed, then exhaled violently.
"I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry? But for what? I don't think you've got anything wrong with me."
"So, I have one big mistake against you, Romlah." Roberts replied, he looked at the woman sitting in front of him wistfully. Roman's forehead frowned, what's wrong? What happened to Roberts, what kind of mistake did he make?
"Have we met?"
"No."
"A few years ago, you were hit by a market fork in the xxx street, right?" Roberts asked, making Romlah immediately nod his head. Of course, he will never be able to forget the fateful incident that befell him that day.
"Yes, what's his relationship with you?"
"The sedan car is white, right?" Asked the man, he looked at Romlah grudgingly.
"I forgot to remember, but I think it was the car that did it."
"I'm sorry, Romlah. That's me."
Degh's..
Romlah's heart felt stopped beating at that moment, as well as Juan. He was unable to believe what his father-in-law had said. He thinks that Roberts is a very nice guy, but the real one? He hid a secret that shocked everyone, let alone Syera.
"W-what?"
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry to get to the hospital because my wife fell in the bathroom and was bleeding badly. So, I took my car with me at high speed. But at that crossroads, I was late on the brakes." Obviously Roberts. Romlah was silent, he really did not expect all this. He was shocked, very surprised at this moment. She already assumed that Roberts was an angel who came to her aid, but it turned out..
"It was unexpected.." Said Juan, making both of them look up immediately, on the stairs turned out to be Juan and Shera who listened to all of them from the beginning.
"I'm sorry, I also got some karma that might be worth what I did. That day, I lost my wife and son at once." Lirih Roberts, making both eyes Romlah buyak so surprised.
Juan and Shera came to the bottom, their gazes fixed on Roberts who looked down.
"Don't you think it was at that time? After hitting people, then just leave? Don't you think he's the backbone of the family and he's the one who makes a living for his kids? Does Papah ever think about how the fate of his children as if his circumstances are severe? Ever been?" Juan asked emotionally.
From a long time ago, she was most unhappy with anything that hurt her mother. Because for her, the mother is a hero she must honor for life. His struggle can never be countered by anything, even now Juan still feels unable to do anything for his mother.
In the past, he promised to avenge every pain experienced by his mother and sister. Now, the man was in front of her who dearly he was the parent of the second woman he loved most, namely his wife.
"I'm sorry, but it was very precarious at the time."
"You think that by apologizing for all the pain that I've had, my mother and my sister swallowed can be regurgitated? No, sorry doesn't fix anything!" Firm Juan. While Syera chose silence, she was completely shocked by what she knew today.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"Even if you apologize a thousand times, I won't be able to forgive your mistake, Mr. Roberts." Juan replied, he was ready to leave but a second later he turned around as soon as he saw his wife in pain.
"Aaasshh, sa-wha.."
"Why, why are you, Bby?" Juan panicked.
"My stomach, it hurts so much."
"Is this a false contraction, too?" Juan asked while hugging his wife.
"No, Juan. It's not a false contraction, like his Syera is about to give birth. Take it to the hospital." Romlah said when he saw the liquid that seeped at the feet of his son-in-law.
Juan nodded and immediately carried the wife to the car. Romlah also followed behind. While Sharon, she carries a bag containing all the needs of the baby that has been prepared several days before her.
"Let papa drive." Roberts said he would never let Juan drive because he was in a rage.
Juan stepped back and chose to sit in the back with Syera, the man hugging the wife who was already visibly in pain. Sharon sat in front, and she sat with Sherah. He continued to rub eucalyptus oil on Syera's hands and stomach. But even so, this does not reduce the pain felt by Syera.
