"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 Clarita's pregnancy were becoming more real. “Are you one of those dirty clothes?”
Clarita stared at him intently; she didn't expect that Atma would ask a question that managed to silence him. She also doesn't know whether she has dirty clothes or whether she still has clothes that have been washed. She was also confused; all she remembered was that he was attending a college friend's birthday party, and when he woke up, he was already in her room, unclothed. She didn't find anyone in the room. She also didn't find any clues as to who the man was who succeeded in crushing him.
"Silence means yes," said Atma after silence enveloped the two of them.
“I don't know how I picture myself,” he admits. “Move.” Clarita was about to get out of bed; she didn't want to keep lying down like someone who was seriously ill.
But unfortunately, Clarita's balance was shaky. Luckily, Atma, who was nearby, quickly caught Clarita's tiny body. Their eyes locked on each other, and again, a familiar feeling crept over both of them. Clarita felt suspicious, and Atma felt calm. For some reason, he felt that Clarita's gaze was able to calm his heart. Even though the woman often gave him cold, annoyed, and vengeful looks,
"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen." Both of their gazes immediately shifted to the figure of a woman in a white uniform with a small hat as her identity. "Ah, sorry to disturb you," he said uncomfortably.
"What is it?" Atma asked flatly. After he succeeded in helping Clarita stand up straight,
“Time to visit the doctor, sir. Also giving breast milk." Atma nodded, hearing the nurse's explanation.
"Sus, can you help me to the toilet?" Clarita asked after she held back her urges.
The nurse looked doubtful; she repeatedly glanced at Atma from the corner of her eye. Luckily, when he was about to ask his question, Atma's cell phone rang. "I picked up the phone."
Clarita just nodded, and now her eyes looked at the nurse, who still had her head lowered. "Aren't there any nurses here who want to help patients who want to go to the toilet?"
Clarita's sarcasm made the nurse wake up and smile uncomfortably. “Ah, that's not it, ma'am. Let me help.” The nurse walked over to Clarita and led Clarita towards the bathroom.
Clarita spent quite a long time in the bathroom. Since last night, he has been holding back his urges because he couldn't get out of bed by himself, and this morning it was proven that he couldn't balance his steps.
Clarita came out of the restroom; her footsteps stopped when she saw a sight that might be soothing to a wife, but for Clarita, the sight was heartbreaking. How come? Atma was carrying his son, accompanied by a doctor who was tasked with monitoring Clarita's condition.
"Ah, Madam, let me help you," offered the doctor as he took Clarita's hand.
Clarita smiled faintly and said softly, "Thank you."
Hospital doctors and nurses began carrying out their duties, starting with changing infusion, checking blood pressure, and also checking for stitches that had not completely dried. If I'm honest, Clarita preferred to have a normal birth rather than a cesarean section because she couldn't bear the pain caused by the obstructing stitches. But what could I do? If only she had had a good breakfast that morning, she certainly wouldn't have fainted on the street and given birth suddenly like this.
"If everything is stable by tomorrow, then you can go home tomorrow, ma'am," said the doctor to Clarita, who looked displeased.
“Thanks, Doc.” No, it wasn't Clarita's voice, but Atma's who answered in Clarita's place. The doctor smiled faintly, and after that, the woman wearing a white coat said goodbye because she had to visit several other rooms.
"Please, ma'am, for the breast milk." Clarita nodded and accepted the nurse's offer.
She started giving breast milk after she heard the bedroom door close. Again and again, she has to be trapped alone with Atma in situations where he has to provide breast milk. "Can you wait somewhere else?" asked Clarita softly.
Atma was surprised by the tone of the woman who had just argued with him. However, he had no intention of asking that; he preferred to grant the woman's request and hurried away to the other side of the room.
The VIP room ordered by Atma can be said to be complete. There is a long sofa, TV, mini refrigerator, wardrobe, special bed for waiting, dispenser, and mini living room. Clarita's mind wandered as she imagined how much money she would have to pay to get herself and her child out of such a luxurious hospital.
She couldn't focus on giving her breast milk; her mind wasn't calm. She was confused about whether she should leave the hospital or stay there longer. Neither is an easy choice; both are equally risky. Leaving the hospital without paying the administration fee is the same as leaving the son and daughter stuck. Staying silent any longer makes the costs he has to pay increase even more erratically.
“What are you thinking about?” asked Atma, who appeared from behind the blue curtains. “Clarita!” For the first time, Atma uttered the woman's name.
"Hah? What is it?" Clarita asked in surprise.
Atma didn't answer; he just pointed at Clarita's chest using his chin. Clarita's brain suddenly stopped functioning; it took several minutes for her to process what Atma meant.
Atma sighed and said, "Your son."
Suddenly, Clarita looked down and was shocked to see what had happened. However, for some reason, being near Atma made her brain unable to function properly. Instead of confirming the son's position, Clarita did the opposite; she looked at hers chest and Atma alternately several times. Finally, she screamed loudly and threw the pillow at Atma.
Instead of easing the problem, now the 8x10 room is filled with the sound of crying people shouting at each other.
“Atma!‼!”
Hope you like it, guys!
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.
"Sit here, sis." Clarita looked up slowly. Until she looked at the figure of a young woman."Hi sis, Has anyone been called for an interview?" Clarita asked, trying to be friendly with the young woman beside her. She predicted that the woman would only be 19 years old. It can be seen from her innocent appearance and also from the brown folder she is carrying.“Hi sis, there are already several sis. "There's this much left," she said politely.“This much?” Clarita asked to confirm."Yes, sis, there were a lot more this morning. Oh yes, sis, I'm Deandra; just call me Dean."Clarita returned Dean's hand and said, "I'm Clarita; nice to meet you, Mba."Clarita and Dean engaged in a
There clearly stood two female figures with simple appearances; their heights were not much different. "Who's At?" Bara repeated because Atma did not respond to his question.Without many words, Atma started his car engine and moved to follow the public transportation in front of him. Bara frowned in confusion, but he was reluctant to ask the man beside him. Atma's strong arms gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his eagle eyes stared straight at the transport in front of him as if, if he blinked, the transport would disappear from his sight.Bara seemed to snort harshly; he didn't know where Atma would take him. Moreover, some of the work has not been completed. Now Bara regrets his decision to go to the meeting in one car with Atma; he should have brought his own car so he wouldn't have to get caught in a confusing situation.Unlike Clarita, the woman seemed to be chatting with Dean. After talking with Dean for a long time, she found out that the 19-year-old girl had just moved t
“At!” called Bara, who received a sharp look from the owner of the name. Bara, who understood that Atma didn't want to listen to him at the moment, chose to remain silent and enjoy every romantic scene that might be presented. Clarita limped along; behind her was a girl with waist-length hair. Atma's glass window was not completely closed, so he managed to overhear their conversation. "Sis, who are you looking for?" Dean asked, confused. "Dean won't know who!" Clarita screamed involuntarily. "Yes, that's why, sis. Tell me! If you keep quiet, how will Deanknow?" Dean shouted no less high. Clarita's shoulders weakened; she was restless. Should he tell Dean the truth? "Sis, Dean already thinks of you like Dean's own older brother, even though we've only just met. Dean has told you everything, Sis; you still don't believe it?" "We just met, De." Dean sighed in resignation. "So what, Sis? Didn't you say that you're here alone?
"Mrs. Ranti, give me back my child!"“If you want your child back, pay your arrears first, then take your child. Besides, I need this little child to defend my husband's family property, haha.”Clarita and Dean looked surprised to hear the words of the middle-aged woman in front of them. He didn't expect that someone he thought was good would actually take advantage of him. "Mrs. Ranti can't do this, ma'am!" Clarita screamed in annoyance."What the heck, Cla? You are unemployed and pregnant; instead of being a disgrace, it's better to have your child with me."Clarita's eyes widened perfectly when she heard the words of the boarding house owner, whom she had always considered a substitute for her mother. The 44-year-old woman doesn't have children, but does she have to say that?“A child without a father? Unemployed mother? Rather than having this child grow up with you and just being an entertainer like you, it's better with me;
