The Sweetest Harsh
Episode-20 Allied

"Nelly ...." Helmia said hello, trying to recognize the guest who had knocked on her door. Tilting her head because the girl in feminine clothes and a bit sexy in the lobby of the house who stood back to the door did not turn her head after surely hearing the door open.

Hearing her name called, the woman finally turned her head slowly and turned her body perfectly. His eyes widened to see who was standing in the doorway to greet him. Hoping to be greeted with a loving helping hand, he greeted with an unchanging call from three years ago when he last came here.

"Mrs ...."

There was a sense of doubt that had been tucked in his tone. But by dragging a step, he finally approached slowly.

Helmia stared at Nelly as if to make sure that what she saw was reality. He was still open and opened both hands. Without waiting for long, Nelly rested her embrace on Helmia's lower body. Hesitating, Helmia clasped her hands to Nelly's back by patting her slowly.

"Let's go in." Helmia let go of Nelly's warm embrace which, for some reason, seemed to spread to her heart. The girl nodded and smiled wryly.

The two walked side by side to the second floor, where there was a small balcony with a set of chairs and a table that was commonly used to relax there. After giving a cue to the waiter at her house to prepare the dish, Helmia sighed back so that Nelly followed her to sit on the empty seat.

"Mama how are you?" Nelly began the conversation by looking closely at her former mother-in-law who still seemed awkward to start a conversation and stared blankly ahead.

After all, the call used to be very familiar to him, still the same as today, only, more stifling and felt far at the bottom of his heart that was somehow difficult to reappear to the surface.

Helmia turned her head. Stare fixedly. "Good Nelly."

He used to have a lot of fun when Nelly came to this place, welcoming him like his daughter back home. He certainly wanted to behave like that now, but, as if there was an invisible mosquito net that blocked the two of them, so the atmosphere this time felt different. Especially with the state of Nelly's grim face full of cloudy load. Maybe it was because of the length of time that separated them from each other.

Helmia wants to fade it away immediately. The hand of the woman who was looking down and with the spirit of Nelly raised her head.

However, Nelly's arrival here brought fresh air for him, just when he was being devastated by the situation of Tiara in such a way.

Is it possible that Alfa and Tiara are not meant to be together forever?

"You met Alfa?" Helmia asked by raising both eyebrows.

Nelly smiled wryly. "Yes. We met some time ago. He looked very happy and loved his wife. It's a tiara." Nelly took a deep breath. Disappointed with his own words that thrust the curse into his heart.

"They just lost a child." Helmia let out a sigh and looked back to the front, towards the lush foliage dancing with the wind.

"What?" Nelly frowned deeply and advanced her body towards Helmia.

"They are sick and the contents are weak. He's having a miskram."

Nelly bought with her mouth open. Helmia's words gave two eruptions of surprise at once, pleasant, but also fostered sympathy for Nelly. There was a happy speck that quickly approached him. She knew that Helmia had only half a heart for her daughter-in-law and was still expecting it. The proof, which appears from the face of Helmia when saying Tiara miscarriage is not a face of sympathy or affection. Helmia's face clearly showed disappointment. Disappointed that Tiara was not the daughter-in-law she wanted coupled with her unhealthy state.

There's a wide gate open in front of Nelly. He is very confident now. Yes, Davian was right, as long as Tiara and Alfa had no children, it would be very easy to separate them. And this ...this is a great opportunity for her because it seems, Tiara will not be able to give Helmia a grandchild and it must have broken her charcoal.

Nelly leaned her body against the back of the chair. Looking in the same direction as Helmia. Letting their bad intentions in the air float together to then ask to be united.

"You still love Alpha?" The unexpected question just slipped from Helmia's mouth.

Nelly looked back at the woman beside him and stuttered to speak. Confused because suddenly had to arrange the right words so that he did not seem rushed in his goal of wanting Alfa back.

"Mama certainly knows how my past relationship with Alfa. So, I couldn't have come here with nothing, "he said steadily.

"Then why don't you approach my stubborn son again? Mama believes Alfa will falter if she has to endure, linger with Tiara who turns out not to be able to carry her child."

"Mrs ...."

******

"How are you Tiara?" Doctor Jeni greeted as soon as they met in the check room.

Today Alfa again invites Tiara to consult about their plan to return to get a son after months ago they have to be patient waiting for Tiara to recover and have not shown pregnancy.

Tiara is calmer now. Unlike when they consulted for the first time, because even for a while, Tiara had felt familiar with things related to pregnancy and knew Doctor Jeni more closely, she said, so that the nervousness can be slightly treated.

"What about your menstrual cycle?" Ask immediately while installing a sphigmomanometer on his left arm. Attaching earpieces to the ear, attach the bell to the elbow of his arm then carefully observe the numbers that appear on his digital pointer.

"More routine than usual. Looks like the medicine the doctor prescribed is very effective for me." Tiara smiled but a second later, her smile turned into a frown on her forehead.

Ah, Tiara forgot to look back at the records of her fertile days. It seems that at this time he should have gotten his period, but because at previous times he did not get the moon coming regularly, he rarely looked at the date on his calendar.

"Okay, get on." Doctor Jeni sat in front of her monitor followed by the nurse who helped Tiara to lie down and reveal her clothes. The nurse then took the gel tube and applied it to the abdominal area before the ultrasound was performed.

Before long, a moving display appeared that scanned the entirety of her uterus.

"good. Do you have any complaints Tiara?" Said later.

"Is Tiara pregnant?" Alfa interrupted with her immeasurable question before Tiara could answer.

"There's no sign of pregnancy seen here Alpha." Jeni turned her gaze to stare at Alfa for a moment, then turned towards Tiara again without having a chance to see a disappointed expression on her face. "I'll give you some extra vitamins. Do not forget to continue to supply your body with balanced nutritious food and multiply the rest. A tense body will affect your fertility hormones."

The door of the room suddenly opened and hit the wall violently as a nurse rushed in, immediately distracting the three. The nurse revealed a face of great anxiety as soon as her gaze was directed at Doctor Jeni without caring that the woman was undergoing a consultation session with the patient.

"Doctor, the patient in the treatment room is bleeding. You should come soon."

Jeni hurriedly stood up from her chair. Alfa and Tiara were both shocked and threw eyes at each other.

"good. Do the first handling. I'll come" he said, staring one by one at Alfa and Tiara in turn as if asking for consideration.

"Go Doctor. Maybe me and Tiara are enough for today." Alfa said a quick look at Jeni who had stood up from her seat and looked a little panicked but did not move.

"alright. Ii'm sorry. You can call me anytime if you need any help." Pull it up and then rush out of the room.

Assisted by the nurse, Tiara again tidied up her revealing clothes, then hung her legs on the edge of the bed to come down from there. Alfa advanced her body and trapped her with both hands. Tiara gaped and glanced behind her husband's back and felt relieved that the nurse had walked out of the room.

Alfa did not take her eyes off at all and continued to stare at Tiara unblinkingly, watching over his wife's attitude.

"Are you thinking too much about this?" A grim expression appeared there.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you tired and stressed out thinking about this pregnancy program?" The answer is still with the question. Clarify the previous question.

"Of course not. I ... I enjoy it." Tiara. Feeling intimidated by the actions of her husband who stared fixedly at her like that.

"I'll talk to your uncle to stop working. I've been holding this for a long time, and this time, you're forced to obey. I won't give you any more you're too tired. Stay at home. Do whatever you want as long as it doesn't incriminate you." Alfa looked solemnly and released both of her hands from the edge of the bed, still with her sharp gaze staring at Tiara's enlarged eyeballs full of shock.

Tiara was still silent and so tense, rubbed Tiara cheek until finally the woman turned her eyes, confused to give an answer.

"I'm sorry Tiara, but I have to be selfish this time." Alfa kissed his forehead.

Tiara wrapped her arms around Alfa still sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'm sorry I can't take good care of myself."

"Mrs ...." Nelly repeated her words. Surprise still dominates it.

"I mean it with my words Nelly. You see, Jonah is getting older as well as I am. Alfa my only son. I want him to have children soon and continue his father's struggle. How about this old age I can rest easy to see such a stupid Alpha and really embarrass himself by acting like that? Isn't there as much affection for me as it is for me to realize my wish?" The woman turned her head towards Nelly.

"You can help me, Nelly. Are you gonna help me?"

Nelly nodded her head. "I'd really like to help Mama." The woman smiled meaningfully with a sense of triumph rising in the chest.
