"How do you drive the car, sir?" shouted local residents who saw a woman lying helpless on the hot asphalt that afternoon.
"Instead of scolding or insulting me, it's better to help me get this woman into the car, and I will immediately take her to the hospital." The man said it in a very flat tone.
The old man looked at him suspiciously. “You don't intend to throw this woman away, do you?”
"Tsk, do I look like a criminal?" he asked, rolling his eyes in annoyance.
"Looks are not always a guarantee," replied the old man, no less fiercely.
"So how? Do you want to leave him lying here or take him to the hospital?” asked the man in a full suit, causing local residents to rush to carry Clarita's body into the luxury car belonging to the man accused of being the hitman.
The car drove through the hustle and bustle of Semarang City. Walking towards the mother-and-child hospital quickly, for some reason, the man had a feeling that he had to find a maternity hospital as soon as possible. Luckily, getting from the scene to the maternity hospital didn't take long. He himself was actually confused; he felt he didn't hit the woman who was now lying in the passenger seat, but why did she fall?
"Miss!" he shouted, drawing the attention of every visitor to the hospital. They didn't blink at the man who came in a hurry, not to mention that in his arms was an unconscious woman who was pregnant.
"Miss," he repeated, because he never got the response he wanted. The screams of the two handsome men succeeded in awakening the nurses from their wild reverie.
The sound of the gurney's wheels colliding with the hard tiled floor and the footsteps of running feet added to the panic atmosphere. “Please wait outside, sir. We will examine your wife."
"Wife?" asked the man in disbelief.
The nurse in front of him just smiled faintly and said, "Sir, please complete the patient registration if at any time further treatment is needed." Before he could answer, the nurse's tiny body had disappeared, replaced by a white door that said "UGD."
Inevitably, the man stepped into the administration room; at least he didn't want to be labeled as an irresponsible hitman, even though, to be honest, he wasn't sure if he had hit Clarita.
"With whose father?" the administrative officer asked the stiff man in front of him.
“Adyatma. Just write Atma.”
"What's your wife's name?" he asked again.
Atma's brows furrowed; he himself didn't know who the woman he was carrying was, let alone knowing her name; he had never seen her before.
"Honestly, he was... ."
"Sorry, sir, your wife needs surgery immediately," said a nurse walking over to him in a hurry to interrupt Atma's words to the administrative officer."Operation?" Atma asked, not understanding.
Atma followed the nurse's footsteps and just left the administration section. He seemed to forget that he was not the husband of the pregnant woman, but his human spirit was higher.
"Sorry, sir, your wife suffered a serious blow to her stomach. Therefore, we recommend performing a caesarean section as soon as possible." It's nothing, sir; I'm just afraid that if we don't do it now, it will impact the lives of the three," explained the doctor Atma met in front of the emergency room.
"Three?" Atma's frown deepened; he didn't understand what the doctor meant.
"That's right, sir; your wife is pregnant with twins. Therefore, we must immediately take action to."
"Just do what's best," interrupted Atma unconsciously. After that, several nurses took the woman called 'his wife' to the operating room. Atma walked, following the nurse from behind, with calm but sure steps. His aura never wanes, and he always manages to attract anyone who sees him.
An hour has passed, and Atma is still sitting calmly in front of the operating room door. After that, he managed to complete the administrative matters and find out the name of the woman who was accidentally hit by him. The ringing on Atma's cell phone distracted him, but, for some reason, he was reluctant to answer it.
Atma was grateful that he had to be bothered taking care of Clarita's needs, because this way he could be free from the snare of the woman who had the status of his future fiancée. Atma took off his black jacket, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt to his elbows, and opened the top two buttons, making a cool impression even more clearly visible in his aura. Not infrequently, visitors who pass in front of him stare at him in awe and wildness.
"With Mr. Atma?" called a nurse from behind the operating door.
Atma got up from his chair and walked over to the nurse. "Congratulations, sir; your baby and wife are safe. If you want to see the baby and give him the prayer, please come in."
“Adzan?” Atma asked quietly. In his heart, he cursed his stupidity, saying that he hadn't thought of that. So far, he rarely prays. How can he pray for the baby?
"Please, sir," said the nurse, and she opened the access door wider as if forcing Atma to immediately enter the room.
For a moment, Atma's eyes glanced at the woman who was lying unconscious, a woman whose name he had just learned. And also his marital status. In his heart, he wondered how it was possible for an unmarried woman to give birth to two babies at once. Was she a victim of pregnancy out of wedlock? Or is she a rape victim?
"Then we will clean the baby, and we will immediately move Mrs. Clarita to the inpatient room, sir. Thank you. You can go back and wait outside." Without many words, Atma stepped out of the room, which made him a different person.
While waiting for Clarita to be moved to her treatment room, Atma took the time to look at the cell phone, which had been ringing continuously, indicating a telephone call. The man in the ivory white shirt let out a harsh sigh when he found dozens of missed calls as well as thousands of messages from numbers he never expected. Atma's attention was diverted when the sound of the gurney wheels and the floor collided. He turned and found Clarita lying weakly.
"We have finished cleaning Mrs. Clarita, sir. Now I'm just waiting for the side effects of the anesthetic to wear off. In 1 or 2 hours, Mrs. Clarita will wake up." Atma just nodded; his eagle gaze could not leave Clarita's face, who was sleeping so peacefully. The sharp nose, thin lips, and curly eyelashes are familiar to this 25-year-old man.
"Eungghh," groaned Clarita as she blinked her eyes slowly. She felt like her head was so heavy, and her whole body felt stiff.
After successfully equalizing the light entering her eyes, Clarita's pitch-black eyes now managed to open clearly. "Who are you?" Clarita asked the figure of a man with firm facial lines who was sitting calmly beside the hospital bed.
"You just gave birth to twins," explained Atma, as if he knew the series of questions the woman would ask him.
"My child? Where?" Clarita panicked and felt her stomach. She then moved to get out of bed, but her stomach still hurt.
“Don't move too much; you've just finished surgery. Wait a moment so I can call a doctor." Atma helped Clarita go back to sleep and straightened her blanket. When Atma looked down, Clarita saw a necklace with an ivory pendant hanging around the man's neck. She glared in disbelief.
She shook her head quickly with a gasp. "Impossible," he whispered.
"Why?"Clarita just shook her head quickly in response to Atma's question; her tongue felt numb, and she didn't even realize that she had been holding her breath. "Breathe; you don't want your child to grow up without a mother, right?"Clarita wanted to curse when she heard Atma's words, but for some reason her tongue seemed reluctant to function properly; even her intelligent brain was unable to work properly."Why can I give birth?" Clarita asked innocently."Because you're pregnant." Atma answered casually. He didn't even take his eyes off the view behind the hospital window.Clarita rolled her eyes lazily. “Tsk. Older grandmothers know that too. How can anyone give birth without being pregnant? I mean, why now?”“Because not later.”Once again, Atma's answer succeeded in making Clarita chuckle in annoyance. She remembers very well that this afternoon she was still going around, visiting one by one the companies that were opening vacancies. But just as she was about to return to h
Clarita turned around with puffy eyes and still wet cheeks when she heard Atma's voice, who was standing not far from her. "What!" Clarita screamed.Atma frowned in confusion; he didn't know the origin of the woman in front of him, and vice versa. But he couldn't possibly just watch a woman who had just given birth to twins sobbing uncontrollably, especially as the woman was holding her daughter's body.He didn't know which demon had entered his body; his strong hand reached out to take over the baby, who had only felt the outside world for a few hours. Like carrying a fragile item, Atma carried it carefully, as if he took the slightest wrong step, the baby in his arms would be crushed to pieces.It's too much for a man like Atma, an untouchable man who somehow cares so much about the twins and the woman in front of him. After successfully putting the princess back in her basket, he rushed out to call the nurse.Not long after, Atma returned with the same two nurses who delivered the
Bara's words kept ringing in Atma's mind; now he started to question himself. So far, Atma has never cared about the identity of the women close to him. He is a normal man, like a cat; whatever kind, if served meat, he will definitely enjoy it.Likewise with Atma, it was these women who offered him heaven on earth, and he would accept it happily. But if something happens beyond his control, then Bara will be the one to step in and tidy everything up until there is no trace. Cruel? No, as the sole heir of Atma, you are required to always look perfect. Not only looks, but images must also be maintained in such a way.On the other hand, Clarita is still busy lamenting her fate after today. She did not think that she was pregnant with twins; so far, she had never had her pregnancy checked. Not because he was embarrassed, but because he couldn't use his economy to just visit the midwife in the village. She only relies on her instincts to protect her womb.Even though she didn't expect the
"Get up," said Atma, his strong hand holding out a glass of mineral water for Clarita. Instead of accepting Atma's glass, Clarita stared at him coldly. She looked at Atma suspiciously. "What do you want to come here for? I am not a cheap woman who will easily give my body to you.” “Why do you think that?” Clarita snorted lazily and said, “Isn't that a trick of rich men like you, sir? Helping weak women like me, coming like a hero, making them feel like they owe you a favor, and then asking for payment by being served in bed? After that? You will throw away women like dirty laundry.” “Wouldn't dirty clothes be washed and used again?” said Atma, not wanting to lose. "That's right, and when the clothes are worn out, you will throw them away and replace them with new ones. That's the wheel of life in bed for a CEO like you, sir." Clarita replied sarcastically. Atma's gaze did not soften completely, but he understood the situation Clarita was going through, and his suspicions about C
Now Atma is confused because three people are crying at the same time. He looked at Clarita and the two nameless babies alternately. His mind was confused; he had never been in a situation as complicated as this. His intention in coming to the hospital was only to convey the fact that he had paid all the costs so that Clarita didn't need to worry. But what happened was beyond his control. Atma saw something that was actually familiar to him. Because almost every night he enjoyed the view for free, but for some reason seeing Clarita's 'belonging' was able to awaken his naughty side. Luckily, this time he was in a good mood, so he had no intention of taking over the rights of the two nameless babies. After calming himself down from his naughty thoughts, Atma walked over to Clarita, who was still crying, using one hand as a pillow for the boy and covering her face with the other. "Instead of crying, it's better for you to cover this," said Atma as he covered Clarita's clothes. He tried
"What do you mean?" asked Clarita, glaring at Atam sharply.The man shrugged his shoulders indifferently and walked away from Clarita. Not long after Atma left, two women wearing white clothes typical of nurses entered Clarita's room. They were surprised to see what the woman was doing.“Excuse me, Madam, how may I help you?” asked one of the nurses, surprising Clarita."Hah? Ah, no, I just want to tidy up my clothes." Clarita hurried to correct her position.She is now freer because, since this morning, his hands have been free from syringes that interfere with his movements. The 22-year-old woman looked happy because all the plans she had made would soon be implemented."Sorry, Sus, if I go out, how much will I have to bear?" Clarita asked carefully."Cost?" The nurse who was checking Clarita's blood pressure seemed surprised to hear Clarita's innocent question.Clarita nodded slowly while giving a scared look. "Don't wo
"Wow, Clarita has been born. When? Why didn't you tell mom?" said the boarding house owner when she passed Clarita, who was about to enter her room."Yes, ma'am, yesterday I had an accident and was forced to give birth. Thank God the person is responsible."The landlady smiled kindly and said, "Thank goodness then; the important thing is that you and your child are healthy."Clarita just nodded and smiled faintly. After saying goodbye, Clarita rushed into her boarding room. She laid Yara and Yandra carefully on the bed. After that, she changed into more casual clothes. She began to tidy up his personal belongings. She was absolutely sure that after this, the people would no longer accept her, because she once said that her husband would return when she gave birth. And now, let alone her husband, he doesn't know exactly who the father of the twin babies who are fast asleep is."Why don't you clean up straight away? You shouldn't move too much, kid," the bo
“You alone know what's in your heart. Are you comfortable around her, or are you just feeling sorry for her?"Atma looked at Bara, confused. "Pity?"Bara laughed crisply, then he grabbed the black coffee, which was still emitting smoke, and sipped it slowly. “It's a pity because she gave birth without her husband present. Possible.""What is certain is that my heart is dead of love!" Atma said firmly, and Bara just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours. This morning, Clarita was bothered by her two babies crying at the same time. Clarita tried to take a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. She did it repeatedly, trying to neutralize her thoughts. Clarita always does this when she is confused."What's wrong, Cla?" asked the landlady, who had been standing in the doorway of her boarding house for some time."Ah, ma'am, sorry if I disturb the other boarding house residents. I also don't know why Yara and Yandra are crying like this.
