The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 45 - Signs of Pregnancy

As soon as he reached the garage, Tiara opened the car door and staggered, he approached the wall and leaned against it. Alfa, who knew that his wife had rushed down with fatigue, immediately followed by slamming the door behind her. Tiara looked pale and held onto her stomach with an expression of pain.

“Tiara? You ... sick? What do you feel?” Alfa frantically approached and flicked the child with hair on his wife's forehead, cold sweat appeared there with her forehead wrinkled and both eyes closed.

“I may be drunk vehicles. My stomach is so nauseous,” he said by soaking his lips and folding his lips.

Next to Alfa's eyebrows raised heard Tiara's words which made her wonder even more.

Nausea? Vehicle drunk? Just be true ….

“You're strong walking? Or would you like me to carry?” Alfa asked carefully looking at Tiara who was still not moving from her place. Confused because it seemed his wife was still uncomfortable with not telling him anything she wanted.

Suddenly the woman bent her body and tried to vomit anything that felt stuck in her stomach, but not a single drop came out of his mouth which made him more tormented with his nausea. Alfa immediately massaged Tiara's nape gently, helping her to immediately complete her urge to vomit.

With a trembling body Tiara finally straightened up and held tightly to her husband's hand with her narrowed eyes as if trying to neutralize her blurred vision. “I ... limp once .. can ... you take me inside?” he said stammering accompanied by his hollow body and eyes that had completely lost his ability to see.

Alfa clasped for a moment his wife's body that crashed towards him, hugging him lovingly before he lifted Tiara in his arms, carried her into the room and immediately put her to bed. The woman would open her eyes for a moment before being completely closed in silence. Alfa immediately enveloped Tiara's body with a bed cover that was lying on the side of the bed, hoping that its thickness could transmit a sense of warmth to his wife's cold body. Fucked Tiara's forehead with a bitter smile, shocked not to play to find one day his wife showed unusual behavior.

After turning off the main light and turning on the golden room light that was on the nightstand, Alfa passed away from the room and walked towards the kitchen. He was still thinking about what caused the Tiara to become so nauseous. Did the food menu they ate at dinner last have a bad effect on Tiara? However, the man is convinced that Tiara is not food poisoning, in fact, he himself is fine, even though they ordered the same menu. All these possibilities he raised in his head before he really made the decision that his wife might have been pregnant.

The sip of the warm sweet tea he had just brewed was full of pleasure. Tiara would usually brew tea after returning home from a trip like she is today.

The two men's brown eyes suddenly stared intently as soon as they got their memories of the tea. Alfa immediately sprinkled with lemon tea made by his wife this morning. His body stiffened for a moment before picking up the phone he had placed on the dining table where he was enjoying tea at the moment.

Without hesitation, the man pressed the caller button after finding the name he was referring to. After waiting for a few seconds, finally the middle-aged woman's clear voice was heard by greeting her first.

“Alfa? What's the problem?” He asked in a slightly anxious tone as soon as he received a call from Alfa on this late night.

“Tiara had a sudden change in her appetite since this morning and had just experienced nausea after returning home from traveling,” he explained. “Can it be a sign that my wife is pregnant?” ask her straightforwardly.

“Oh, it could have happened. You can do a self-check using a test pack. You know, don't you? Or you can go to the clinic tomorrow, but, sorry Alfa, I'm not there because there are interests that I have to settle outside the city.”.

“Yes. Alright. Doesn't matter. This is enough to help me,” said Alfa with a sigh of relief that sounded soft in Jeni's ears.

“Is Tiara okay now? How is he doing?” ask him with full attention.

“He is asleep at the moment. Earlier he had looked pale and his body was limp,” Alfa exhaled a long breath.

“Oh. Da? Don't forget tomorrow morning you gave him the vitamins I gave him when we last had a consultation session. Do not give Tiara fatty foods because it will add to the nausea,” he explained. “It can help until we can meet again the day after I get home,”.

“Yes. Alright. Thank you very much Doctor.” Alfa ends the conversation. There was a small mutter across the street before the man hung up.

Alfa looked at his room for a while where his wife had fallen asleep there. There was a sense of blue in his chest that suddenly appeared when a small shadow that was still a white dot in Tiara's stomach when the USG a few months ago came back as memory in his brain.

The next day when the sun had just shown its hospitality to the earthlings who got their morning rations, Alfa woke up first with a great sense of satisfaction because she had fallen asleep soundly. Tiara's condition that had made him worried, but the answer from the doctor Jeni who was so satisfying it was able to be a lullaby that could deliver it into an unusually soothing deep.

The man then tilted his body and how surprised he was when he saw Tiara still sound asleep beside him. The woman will usually wake up early in the morning to greet her favorite plants and water them cheerfully. Letting the morning chill touch her delicate skin until the sunshine comes near.

This morning, his wife still seemed to be sleeping quietly, her slanted sleeping body facing him revealing her innocent face without any expression. Unknowingly, Alfa smiled to herself at the pleasant sight of her morning. It seemed, just this time he was paying close attention to his wife's face while he was asleep. Well-favoured.

Her feelings are filled with overflowing happiness, knowing that Tiara may have returned pregnant. There was a warning sound that echoed from within the man that he should be more careful and keep the beautiful and perfect creature in his eyes better. Alfa touched her fingers on the children's hair that slightly covered his wife's face and then moved it. Slowly, the man brought his face closer and gently kissed his wife's forehead and cheeks. To pour out all her innumerable love and affection.

A few seconds later, the woman began to open her eyes, as if the light touch of her husband had shaken her subconscious to the surface. The first thing he saw immediately was Alfa who smiled at him, making him smile back with eyes that still felt heavy to open. Almost every morning in the previous days, Tiara who always woke up first was always taking a moment to just look at the face of her husband who was sleeping and kiss the cheek of Alfa without waking him.

Right now, Alfa was doing the same thing as him, as if, they were one soul with two different body shapes.

Now with him awakened and Alpha who had first welcomed him, made the warm smile that was reflected from the lips of the man flow into the warmth of the corner of his heart. He was happy, received all the loving treatment from the man and was moved to feel loved so strongly.

“Happy afternoon Honey,” Alfa re-touch her fingers to wipe her broken wife's hair.

Tiara widens the eyes. Polat bead his eyes directly lead to the glass window in his room, looking for answers ‘good day’ said Alfa. The color of a bright day with bright sunlight, which peeked out of the curtain cloth fibers was enough to make him understand that the morning had begun to rise to the level of light that was already getting brighter.

The woman smiled and felt amused because the greeting for her felt more like a mockery than the loving speech that was usually spoken from the man when they had just met in the morning.

“Good morning before noon my husband,” he said while changing his sleeping position until he looks fresher with one hand folded under the pillow. “You wake up as late as I do, why congratulate your morning like that?” the upset.

Alfa chuckles. “Because you're used to getting up early. It's rare that I've seen you wake up to this time, are you exhausted? How's stomach? Are you still nauseous?” leaning in with a slight facial expression showed uneasiness.

Tiara averted her gaze for a moment, glaring, as if recalling what had happened until Alpha asked so. Then, holding her stomach, the woman said without paying attention to the anxiety that appeared from her husband's face. “I'm hungry,” he said which made the man raise an eyebrow.

As she had just regained consciousness from sleep, Tiara suddenly frowned and asked, “Alfa, did you just change your perfume?” Again the man just showed a face full of his question.

“Perfumes? Of course not. What's up?” Ask with a confused expression.

“Why does it feel so bad in my nose?” Tiara sat her body as if away followed by Alfa who was also sitting on the bed, frowning because she was made curious about the question of his wife that he did not understand her meaning.

“You'd better change your clothes soon. Yes?” As he asked without saying any more, Tiara got up from her bed and immediately walked towards the bathroom, leaving Alfa still confused by Tiara's attitude that seemed completely unknown to her.

With her charm, Alfa immediately smelled her own body because she wanted to immediately find the scent of perfume like what had actually been smelled by Tiara's nose. However, he found nothing. The man smiled as he realized that with the drastic changes in his appetite and the more sensitive Tiara was to smells, he further strengthened his assumption that his wife's pregnancy was indeed true ….

Ah, this is exactly what he was waiting for.
