Chapter 19
Ayunda and David walked out together towards where David’s car was. However, Ayunda stopped her footsteps when she got a short message on her cellphone.
“Dear, I’m not going to your office now, okayLater in the afternoon I’ll follow you to your office and have lunch” Ayunda said after reading the incoming message on her cellphone.
“Where are you going?” asked David probingly.
“I want to go directly to the cafe, mas, the person I sent a message said he had something to talk about,” Ayunda said with a smile.
“Okay, we’ll have lunch together this afternoon,” said David, confirming his wife’s words.

Ayunda walks down the hospital hallway to the room of Dr. Edi, a blood cancer specialist who has been treating Ayunda all this time.
Well, Ayunda lied to David about herself going to his cafe even though Ayunda was going to the hospital.
“Morning doc” Ayunda greeted when she was invited into Dr. Edi’s room and it turned out that there was already Doctor Sari, who is an obstetrician.
“Morning, please sit down, Miss Ayunda,” replied the doctor, inviting Ayunda to sit in front of him.
“The results of the laboratory tests are out, Miss and if you want to get pregnant, it must be under the supervision of a doctor,” the doctor told Ayunda while looking at Ayunda with pity.
“What does that mean I have to be hospitalized while I’m pregnant doc?” Ayunda asked Doctor Edi to clarify.
“Yes, you must be treated during your pregnancy because your body condition is getting worse day by day and you really expect this pregnancy so you must be under the doctor’s supervision” the doctor explained again to Ayunda and Ayunda nodded in agreement.
“Okay Doc, I agreeSo when do we start?” Ayunda said.
“Next week we will prepare everything, right doc?” Doctor Edi asked for Doctor Sari’s approval, who had been listening to the conversation between Doctor Edi and Ayunda.
“Yes, of course, but the cost is not cheap, Miss,” said Doctor Sari to Ayunda.
“The problem of cost is not a problem Doc, I can handle it” Ayunda answered.

After visiting the hospital, Ayunda continued her journey back to her husband’s office, even though it was not yet lunch time.
Ayunda wants to spend a lot of time with her husband even though later only sees David working. It can’t be helped, now at night, David and Ayunda rarely enjoy time just relaxing alone because David has to share his time with Bella, his second wife.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Mas” Ayunda greeted when she entered her husband’s room after knocking on the door and being invited in by David.
“Honey, have you come?” asked David, who was still sitting in his oversized chair, quite surprised by Ayunda’s arrival earlier than promised this morning when he was about to leave for the office.
“Yes, mas, my business is done” Ayunda replied while walking towards David.
“You wait until you finish doing this,” said David, kissing Ayunda’s forehead.
“Yes sir” Ayunda replied hugging David tightly. It seems Ayunda has not hugged her husband like this in a long time.
“Why do you love?” asked David surprised by Ayunda who hugged him long and tight. David returned the hug of his first wife.
“I’m fine, bro, I just miss you. It seems I haven’t hugged you like this in a long time,” said Ayunda who was still in David’s arms.
“Heem” was the only mutter that came out of David’s mouth.
“Thank you, mas, you just continue to work first. I’ll wait for you on the sofa,” Ayunda said as she released her arms from David.
“Yes,” answered David shortly.
Ayunda walked towards the sofa in David’s office and then Ayunda sat down on the sofa while her eyes looked around her husband’s office, which had not changed, still the same as before when Ayunda often came to David’s office. Ayunda also watched David from a distance of about two meters from where he was sitting. Ayunda doesn’t get tired of looking at her husband’s face, which looks more authoritative when he is seriously working.
It doesn’t feel like Ayunda has been waiting for more than an hour for David to work and now it’s time for a break.
“Let’s have lunch” said David to Ayunda who was still sitting on the sofa.
“Yes, mas” Ayunda said as she got up from her seat and the two of them walked out of David’s room together to have lunch together at one of the restaurants they used to visit first.
After traveling for about thirty minutes, they finally arrived at a beautiful restaurant. Ayunda’s favorite restaurant.
David and Ayunda chose the lesehan seat according to Ayunda’s wishes after they ordered their food.
After waiting a few minutes, finally the food that David and Ayunda ordered arrived served by the waiter. David and Ayunda immediately enjoyed the food in front of them without any chatter accompanying them to eat.
“Dear, have you eaten?” asked David which made Ayunda raise her head to look at David.
“Don’t forget to eat. Yes, you won’t be working overtime later,” said David again, who turned out to be talking on the phone.
“What do you want to bring later?” David asked again to the person on the other end of the phone.
Ayunda returned to continue eating even though she had no appetite after hearing David talking on his phone with someone Ayunda knew very well, who else if not Bella, her husband’s second wife. even though Ayunda wants to enjoy time with David without anyone bothering her even by telephone except for David’s important client. Ayunda eats with no enthusiasm anymore, even though there is Ayunda here who accompanies her to eat, but her husband actually calls Bella and chats with her without intending to invite Ayunda to talk.
can Ayunda be angry if at this time Ayunda wants more attention from her husband because at this time Ayunda is with David.
Ayunda wants to eat interspersed with laughter like before before the storm in her household came upon her. but it was all just a fantasy, because right now, David was more engrossed in chatting with Bella on his cell phone.
