The Substitute Woman on the First Night
Nervousness

Happy reading!

The next day, I woke up in a very happy mood. How not, last night Delano continued to hold my hand tightly. He didn't let go at all, even until I fell asleep first from him.

"Good morning, No." I said that when both my eyes found Delano who was awake first and now was looking at me from where he was sitting on a sofa at the end there.

"By the morning too, dear. How are you doing this morning?" Delano immediately moved from his sitting position, then approached me and sat down on the chair right next to me.

"I've been so much better, No."

"Thank God then. Oh yes, by the way, there will be some people who come to look at you. You're nothing, are you?"

The look on my face stiffened immediately. I really feel like I do not want to be visited by anyone, let alone the thing that happened to me at this time is something that could be the material of other people's jokes. He entered the hospital for a foolish act and tried to end his life with a small penknife on a nail clipper, it could be gossip material and I certainly don't want Delano to feel embarrassed later.

"No, I don't want to be visited by anyone," answered me who had been silent for a while.

"Why, Honey?" Delano asked with both of his eyebrows intertwined. He must be curious about my current reason.

"That's because .. I'm ashamed, No." I honestly don't want to answer Delano's question. Hoping that without me saying it, he could understand what I was thinking.

"If you're embarrassed about it, you don't have to think about it because I told you that you can go to the hospital not because you want to kill yourself, but you fell until you sprained your hand."

"Seriously, No, you've already said that to those who want to come see me?" I was really shocked because Delano lied to keep my good name. He kept the disgrace meetings I did yesterday to make me feel a lot calmer now.

"Yes, Honey. I also said that you could fall because you are currently pregnant. So, you don't have to be afraid! After all, it is also impossible if I tell them because we want to, however, our household problems should not be known to others. Let them know only our happiness and they do not need to know our journey to happiness even though there are many problems that we have to face."

Delano's words were like the morning dew that soothed my heart. That calmness instantly created a smile from both corners of my lips. No more fretting that came to harass me.

Three hours passed so quickly. At exactly 10 am, I began the arrival of some friends Delano who alternately came to visit me. They not only came with a fruit parcel, but also a gift to congratulate my first child on pregnancy. I really did not expect that those who came could be so friendly to me. However, when Delano told me that the owner of the company was coming in a while longer, a nervousness suddenly ambushed me. It made me feel uneasy about having to deal with the leader of the place where my husband worked.

"No, is Mr Chandra a good man?" After the departure of several employees from my room, I immediately asked the question.

"Why, Honey? You don't have to be so nervous, Mr. Chandra is a good person."

"I've tried it normally, but still can't. I'm just scared because he's your leader. What if he finds out that I'm an ex-convict?" Suddenly the stupid question came out of my mouth. Making Delano immediately immediately replied firmly that the possibility would not happen.

"You just calm down. I never once talked about you in the office, let alone your past. So, I thought, no one would know about any of it. After all, the case that befell you during the trial there was not a single media covering it. Now you don't have to think about anything else!"

While Delano was still trying to calm me down, suddenly the sound of knocking on the door rang. "Well, that's Mr. Chandra here. Wait a minute, honey, I'll see him first."

"Yes, No," I answered, then smiled at Delano who then began to step towards the door of the room. However, the moment Delano opened the door, the sound heard from the front door immediately made me choked in shock. Yes, the voice of the man who just helped me yesterday.

"Why did Fadhly come?" manya curious. Honestly, I don't really want to see him anymore, especially after what happened to me yesterday.
