Stay or Leave

Ayunda is sitting in the garden beside her sister’s house, her mind drifting to her accidental encounter with her ex-husband in the hospital that day. Ayunda saw that her ex-husband was a bit thin and his appearance was not like before, which was always neat and dashing. somehow after that accidental meeting with David, Ayunda wanted to cry. I don’t know what the reason is, because longing, disappointed, and angry are the things that Ayunda feels when she sees her ex-husband. maybe because of the pregnancy hormones too, making Ayunda in a phase of changing emotions.

“You have energy, honey, there’s mama here,” Ayunda muttered while stroking her distended stomach when she felt a fairly hard kick from inside her stomach.

maybe the baby also feels what the mother is feeling, so she gives the signal through movement.

“Are you here Ay?” asked Lisa who was sitting beside Ayunda.

“Yes, look at the flowers that are blooming, very beautiful to look at” Ayunda replied as her eyes looked ahead where many flowers were blooming.

“Are you thinking about something?” Lisa asked when she saw the look on Ayunda’s face that didn’t seem fine.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“No,” Ayunda answered briefly while her eyes continued to stare at the flowers in front of her.

“Thank goodness you don’t think about anything, because it seems that after you met your ex-husband, you became more silentmaybe you still have feelings for him, especially seeing your ex-husband who seems a bit thin and his appearance is not as attractive as when you are by his side, of course you will feel sorry and want to know how his life has been the last few months after separating from you” Lisa said thatexactly how Ayunda feels right now.”I don’t know, Lis, I really felt sorry for her at that time, but the pity disappeared after I remembered all the accusations that I never didmaybe I’m just disappointed in him, because he doesn’t want to trust me anymore, and for compassion, maybe because right now there’s blood in my stomach too,” said Ayunda who was still looking straight ahead.

“The bond between children and parents is strongdo you want to meet your papa and be rubbed like this?” said Lisa while rubbing Ayunda’s stomach and talking to the fetus in her womb.

Ayunda was silent, not responding to her brother-in-law’s words.

“It’s noon, I think I’m hungry” Ayunda changed the subject.

“Ah yes, it’s time for lunch. I came here to take you to lunch. Come on!” said Lisa and stood up from her seat followed by Ayunda.

Bianca, daughter of David and Bella has returned home. David is currently preparing to come to the hospital to get the results of the DNA test he did. David did all that to make sure it was clear, because when he was about to donate blood for his daughter it was not suitable. David also still hasn’t had much to say with Bella. even though Bella always persuaded him, but it didn’t work either.

“Mas, don’t keep quiet with me. I beg you, sir!” Bella said hugging David from behind when David was about to step his feet to get out of kDavid.

David sighed, before replying to his wife’s words. however, David felt sorry for Bella who kept begging him.

“Hmm, yes,” David replied as he let go of Bella’s arms around his waist, then turned to face his wife.

“You’re not mad at me anymore, are you?” Bella asked making sure her eyes were looking at David.

“Yeah, now don’t be sad anymore” David said, gently caressing Bella’s cheek.

“Of course, mas. Oh yes, mas, I want to work. Bored at home all the time,” said Bella, hugging David with her head resting on her husband’s chest. They are currently sitting on the sofa in the room. David canceled his intention to go to the hospital.

“What kind of work?” David asked Bella.

“How about working at a branch of your company,” Bella suggested after a few minutes of thinking.

“Wich one?” asked David again.

“It’s just the city B, bro, so it’s not too far from here,” Bella answered quickly.

“But later you have to go back and forth dear” said David disapprovingly.

“Then how about it, bro, I’m tired of having to stay at home,” Bella said as she gave her hands in charity in front of her chest.

“What if it’s just at the head office, there happens to be an empty finance department. Are you okay if you only work in the finance department?” David asked Bella.

Davis’ offer brought a breath of fresh air to Bella, without hesitation Bella agreed.

“Yeah, it’s okay,” Bella replied with a smile.

“Well, when do you want to come in?” asked David to confirm.

“Tomorrow,” Bella said quickly.

“Today you don’t have to go to the office, I want to be alone with you” he continued again to which David nodded.

Akmal, who is working in his room, must stop his work activities when someone comes to see him.

“Hi, how are you?” asked someone who had just been invited in by Akmal.

“Okay, please sit down” Akmal said to someone.

Akmal and someone are sitting opposite each other which is only limited by Akmal’s desk. They were both silent for a long time, until finally someone said a word that made Akmal frown in confusion.

“I give up” someone said to Akmal.

“You mean?” Akmal asked the person.
