The Sweetest Harsh

The Sweetest Harsh
Episode 79 - Antipathy


A cold morning brings fresh air. Tiara was busy with her packing activities to return to Flower City. The sound of the bag zipper creaking loudly became the last sound before the woman lay back on the bed. Straightened his tired back after the next morning tidied up the room and packed his things back into the bag. The woman sat back down. Remembering that for two days he was in his house not once he met with Widya. Berta's assistant was seeking permission not to work for three days because of the affairs of his parents who were out of town. Ah, he'll be back this morning. Tiara hurriedly dragged a step towards the first floor, about to go to the kitchen room where the woman used to dwell in the morning.


Arriving at the last rung of the stairs, Tiara's eyes squinted to correctly identify that it turned out, Widya was sitting on the terrace floor facing the garden. I don't know what to do. The woman walked closer. Giving a surprise for his arrival at the same time saying goodbye because that morning he will also return to the villa.


“Widya?” Tiara spoke slowly while also sitting herself beside the middle-aged woman. How surprised he was when his bead eyes met with Widya and immediately found the face of the woman who was pale. “Jeez Widya, why are you?” he asked frantically while stroking the back of the woman who was slightly bent over.


“Oh. You surprised me Tiara,” she replied with a forced smile. “I'm fine. A few months ago I had just changed my contraceptive method so I had to find my period with a longer time and with a large amount. I'm sorry, Alisa is sending me in the kitchen to cook, I just want to rest for a while.” Widya cupped both hands as a gesture of apology.


Tiara glued for a moment. Really Widya's long and wide words did not enter entirely in her ears, because her mind absorbed quickly the word ‘period’ and as if directly pause the mind from her consciousness.


“Tiara.”


Ah, after the cesarean section and getting her first blood after giving birth and finished within a month, Tiara almost never thought about her period again. Do stress and depression have a major effect on hormonal changes? The woman's heart suddenly fluttered violently. His brain suddenly came to the conclusion that when he did not get his period again, it meant that infertility in his womb was coming again.


“Tiara.”


The woman gulped her saliva violently. Riled up because of the tightness in his chest came. Tiara let out a long breath and exhaled it short.


“Tiara,” call Widya the third time and then Tiara turned and stuttered. “I ... have to go to my room for a while,” he said with a breath of breath. Tiara tried to stand by holding on to anything her hands could reach. Widya also helps with all her efforts to embrace the woman who now looks as pale as she is.


Tiara staggered with both eyes starting to blur and her body increasingly unable to control the movements of her limbs, until not two steps reached the door, the woman collapsed unconscious. Widya who was shocked was extraordinary immediately shouted for help while holding half Tiara's body in her lap.


Alisa who heard such a loud scream not far from the kitchen in a hurry immediately ran over. His eyes bought to see Widya who fell on the floor with Tiara's body lying limp. Alisa then ran towards the garage, looking for Alfa who she saw last time was checking her car there. Prepare the vehicle well, before he uses it back for the trip home later.


Once he found the man who was still in the car, nervously, he immediately told Tiara's condition to make Alfa immediately run in a state that was also hit by panic.


The man looked at his wife who had fainted, then carried her in a sling to the room and put her to bed.


******


Alfa massaged the base of her nose while closing her eyes. The man stood beside the door of his room with Tiara in the middle with a family doctor checking in, accompanied by Berta sitting on the edge of the bed. Standing in front of the man, Widya who had been begging for forgiveness on her pretext caused Tiara to faint, though the man had said many times that Tiara may indeed be not feeling well and tired.


“Already, the doctor is checking his condition. You don't have to worry.” Alfa smiled her smile when the man's face looked sour. He was worried, afraid that something unwanted would happen. The reason, some nights including when staying at Berta's house, the woman was always unable to fall asleep and closed her eyes in the early morning.


“I'm sorry once again,” Widya said it with an expression full of regret. Did her words about femininity just trigger Tiara's trauma back coming? Widya was completely inexhaustible to herself. How could he just forget about the state of the woman who was still in the healing stage? Oh, Widya is really scared.


Before long, the doctor came out with a smile that made Alfa frown. “Can talk for a moment? There is something I have to say,” he said.


“Have you ever checked your wife before to the obstetrician?” the doctor just suddenly threw a question that made Alfa cluck.


“Of course. We have been doing pregnancy programs for many years, except for these last nine months because Tiara is depressed-“


“Your wife is pregnant.” The doctor said quickly, interrupting Alfa's annoyed words.


“Ap ... what?” Alfa asked in awe. Looking at the doctor who kept smiling after knowing the true circumstances of his patient that morning.


“Be quick to take him to the gynecologist so that your wife and her pregnancy remain healthy,”. “I'm sorry first,” pampitnya then just pass by leaving Alfa who is still wallowing in shock.


The man leaned against the sofa he was sitting on. His heart was pestered by a variety of feelings that had never been before. He was happy, but Tiara's unusual circumstances really worried him. Alfa closed her eyes and massaged her temples. Weighing the possibility that would happen when his wife found out that she was pregnant again.


Tiara felt her head throbbing violently with both her eyes twitching. The woman was still closed, but her consciousness had returned. Slowly, he took a strong breath and exhaled it long. The tightness was gone, but really, the current state of his body made him uncomfortable. Time and again he threw away the words that stuck tightly in his mind that were about periods. Not only that, he is now so antipathy to everything related to babies and pregnancy. In fact, Jeni's mobile number is no longer perched on the woman's mobile phone contact list.


“Tiara ...” Berta's voice that sounded so close in the ear made Tiara hastily open her eyes. Her mother sat next to her body, smiling and rubbing her arms slowly.


The strong smell of the oil was still strongly inhaled in Tiara's nose. Mama and her husband probably rubbed the object to give her a sense of comfort. “I'm fine Ma, maybe I'm just a little tired,” he said then forced myself to sit on a pillow.


“Your health is really. Alfa said that you often fall asleep late at night and wake up early. Obviously if your sleep time is less,” fret.


Tiara smiled. “Iya Ma.”


Alfa who re-entered the room room and found Tiara had regained consciousness smiled with her lips next to her and stepped closer. Sitting on the edge of the bed.


“We might be able to stay here again if you still feel tired,” Alfa said.


“No. I'm it's okay. I'll be fine until we get to Flower city later,” please.


The man let out a long breath, looking at his in-laws for a moment to ask for approval. Berta just smiled faintly and nodded. “Well, as comfortable as you are,” he said, gently rubbing Tiara's arm once again and moving from her seat, giving her time together for her children to talk.


After the door closed again, Alfa did not delay again to immediately hug his wife. I don't know how many times this has happened. The man was happy to know of his wife's pregnancy, though he had to accept the harsh reality of it in the end in earlier times. However, he did not care what the story would be like. Alfa is happy, happy with the storyline as whatever is discussed for her, as long as Tiara is beside her.


The woman was surprised by Alfa's sudden, but unobtrusive movements, she clasped her hands together, clutching her husband's body tightly in her arms.
