Two men and women sat opposite each other, there was only a medium-sized round table in the middle and there was some distance between them. A woman seems to be talking with emotion, while the man seems to be lowering his head.
"That's not my baby! You have many men, it must be the child of another man!" snapped Ed Shane as he pounded the table in front of him.
Hearing Ed Shane's answer, Ivy lowered her head. She was very surprised, did not expect if Ed Shane's response would be like this.
In her lowered face, Ivy tried to hold back her tears from spilling out. She must still look strong to maintain her dignity.
Before Ivy could speak, when she looked up, she saw Ed Shane walking away.
Seeing this, Ivy could only be silent. Then she took out her cell phone and turned it on. She felt so desperate and wanted to tell all the secrets she was hiding.
Ed Shane walked quickly away from Ivy. The man felt very confused this time. What if what Ivy said was true? What if Ivy did get pregnant because of him? Not! It's impossible!
Ed Shane returned to the kitchen, he wanted to distract himself by seeing his employees doing their job properly.
A woman seems to be in a hurry to walk with a cell phone in her hand. She drew closer to Ed Shane, as if she had something to say.
"Mr. Ed, I'm sorry, it's a call from Mr. Gladwin." The woman said in a low voice.
"What's with him?!" asked Ed Shane in a surprised tone of voice.
The woman in charge of the cashier at Shane Restaurant shook her head, then said, "I don't know, Mr. Ed. You can ask him directly, he's looking for you."
Ed Shane nodded his head, he received a cell phone that was connected to a voice call from Gladwin Hamilton. It seemed there was something important about his little family. Ed Shane decided to go into his office.
"Hello, what's up, Dad?" asked Ed Shane as the phone pressed to one ear.
"Li--Lilyana, th-she's in the hospital right now." Gladwin said, his voice breaking.
"What?!! Alright, I'll be right there, send me the address," said Ed Shane said immediately.
How surprised Ed Shane was when he found out that his beloved wife had to be taken to the hospital. I don't know what happened at home, but now Ed Shane wanted to meet his wife first.
"I sent it." Gladwin said, the man's voice still shaking.
"Okay, I'll try to get there in fifteen minutes," said Ed Shane who then cut off the voice call from Gladwin Hamilton-her father-in-law.
Hurriedly, Ed Shane put on his jacket and prepared to go to the hospital. In his hands now there are two cellphones, a personal cellphone and a work cellphone.
Ed Shane stepped so quickly out of the room and walked towards the cash register. His work cell phone was again given to the woman who served as the cashier, while she only brought his personal cell phone.
"I have to go now," said Ed Shane, he said quickly.
"All right, Mr Ed. May I know where you are going?" She asked.
"Just tell me I'm not around if someone is looking for me," said Ed Shane, answering the cashier's question as he walked away.
Ed Shane's footsteps continued to go fast, even occasionally he would bump into his own visitors.
"Sorry, I was in a hurry." That's what Ed Shane said when he bumped into someone.
As Ed Shane had said to Gladwin on a voice call, fifteen minutes later Ed Shane was on the front lawn of the hospital.
The man parked his vehicle and immediately walked into the hospital building which was quite large. Ed Shane's eyes darted left and right, looking for Gladwin Hamilton.
A man in his fifties waved his hand to the crowds of people passing by around him. Luckily Ed Shane could see where his father-in-law was and Gladwin saw his son-in-law as well.
The hospital that afternoon was very crowded, many people were passing by and even some patients did not get a room.
"What's wrong with Lily, Dad?" asked Ed Shane after seeing his father-in-law.
"I don't know, she--she was bleeding in the shower." Gladwin said, explaining what he had seen.
Now there is not only Gladwin waiting for Lilyana to finish being treated by the doctor, but also Ed Shane. The two men sat on the waiting bench at the front of the room.
Unceasingly Ed Shane and Gladwin continue to pray for the safety of Lilyana and her baby in they heart. Neither Gladwin nor Ed Shane wanted to lose Lilyana or the baby in her womb.
Click!
The sound of the door opening. The two men sitting on the waiting bench immediately got up when they saw a nurse coming out of the room where Lilyana was being treated by the doctor.
"What happened to my wife, Sister?" asked Ed Shane immediately.
The female nurse raised her hands in an open position at chest level. She also shook her head.
"We haven't finished checking, you just have to wait," said the nurse as she walked away.
This time Ed Shane shed tears, he felt so guilty for betraying his wife. He regretted everything he had done.
While Gladwin seemed to calm his daughter-in-law. Gladwin thought that Ed Shane felt sad because of his wife's uncertain condition in a closed room.
***
Several people attended a funeral, most of them wore black clothes to signify that they were mourning and mourning.
No one smiled, they all looked sad. Some have mourned this moment, they will also be like that in the future.
Gladwin continued to comfort her daughter who was constantly crying. Lilyana still doesn't think that her happiness will only last for seven months.
She had to lose a baby she was very much looking forward to. A baby who will be her friend for life, but now has to go first.
"God loves him more, Lily." Gladwin said in a whisper in her daughter's ear.
Gladwin's eyes looked at the small cemetery where a baby was buried. He did not survive in his struggle to stay alive in the world.
Some people started to move from their place, they left the cemetery leaving Gladwin, Lilyana and Ed Shane alone.
In the midst of her sobs, Lilyana turned to Ed Shane. Her gaze was so sharp looking at the man. Nothing but everything that happened this time was his doing.
"Edward, you calm down there, my baby boy."
"Edward must be happy up there with God, Lily." Gladwin said, trying to reassure her daughter.Lilyana nodded her head. In a situation like this, at least Ed Shane can be more understanding in his attitude. So far, Ed Shane has been silent, lamenting the loss of his first child, he didn't even say a word to make Lilyana feel a little calmer.The woman had indeed received many words from her father. Even when she was being taken to the hospital, her father always accompanied and strengthened her. I don't know where Ed Shane--her husband is.That's what makes Lilyana feel annoyed with her husband. The man who used to be understanding and caring is now much different, looks very different when her pregnancy reaches the age of five months.Now that Lilyana is unable to sustain her pregnancy, Ed Shane seems sad. Whether it's real from the bottom of his heart or just pretend to look sorry.Lilyana is really disgusted by her husband's behavior. It felt like all this annoyance and anger she w
It was eight o'clock in the evening, an hour before Shane's Restaurant closed. Driving his car, Ed Shane started to drive towards his restaurant.The black car was driving at a fairly high speed. Moreover, the streets at night are not so crowded. Normally, Ed Shane would be at his restaurant in fifteen minutes, but now it only took Ed Shane nine minutes.Ed Shane rushed into the restaurant. He passed the tables that were still full of diners. His restaurant is never empty.Almost everyone feels comfortable coming to Ed Shane's Restaurant. In addition to its strategic location and safe place, Shane Restaurant also offers a variety of food with a taste that is always delicious and never fails."Send Ivy into my room," said Ed Shane, to one of his employees in a small whisper.After saying this, Ed Shane immediately entered his room. A room that is not so wide, only about ten by fifteen meters.Inside the room there is a work desk for Ed Shane, a sofa and a long table for meetings and al
Gladwin Hamilton still accompanies his daughter. He is afraid if something happens or to do something bad. A person who is sad usually cannot think any longer."Do you really not need my help? Do you really want to just go with Lucy?" asked Gladwin, the man looked so worried.Her eyes looked red and puffy, occasionally tears would flow from the ends and with her hand Lilyana wiped the tears herself.The woman nodded her head. She didn't want to trouble her father this time. Gladwin is good and always entertains herself, now it's time for the man to rest and Lilyana seeks entertainment to entertain herself.The two of them sat on the terrace of the house. Lilyana waited for Lucy's arrival while Gladwin accompanied his only daughter.After several minutes of waiting, finally a red car stopped in front of Ed Shane's house. She is Lucy Malvia, Lilyana's close friend since college."Take good care of her, Lucy. You know how she is now." Gladwin said, his left hand on Lucy's right shoulder.
Ivy shook her head immediately. You can see her awkward and very stiff smile thrown by her to Lucy and also Lilyana."Please drink," said Liliyana, inviting her guests to drink the banquet she had prepared.Tea in cups and some snacks such as biscuits were also present on the guest table. Lucy immediately took the tea cup closest to her and took a sip of the tea."Mmm." Lucy seems to enjoy tea with a distinctive fragrance. The woman then said, "Your tea is still delicious, Lily. Ed Shane must be very happy because you can make tea every day."It seems that Lilyana smiled shyly, she rubbed her hands on her thighs.Making tea has always been her specialty. Her late mother used to make tea every morning and evening for Gladwin. When her mother was making tea for her father, Lilyana was always there to see how good tea was made.Until finally, as time went by, little Lilyanan grew up and the woman wanted to make her own tea."By the way ... what's wrong with your womb, Lily?" asked Lucy a
A rainstorm came that night, with lightning flashing incessantly and thunder clattering loudly. The dark night sky was getting darker, the streets were deserted, no one was out. They all preferred to fall asleep under the warm blankets in their respective rooms.Ed Shane, who had been standing beside the gate, immediately ran towards the terrace of the house. Now the man was standing right next to his wife."How about it, Ivy? Do you want to stay the night?" asked Lucy who was still in her car with her foster children.Of course Ivy immediately shook her head. The woman did not want to linger in a house that could trap her one time."No Lucy. Let's just go back, we're using the car anyway, it won't be too much of a problem if it rains hard. We won't get caught in the rain either."But Lucy had other thoughts, she smiled sarcastically and backed up the car."Lucy, Lucy, please." Ivy begged, but Lucy ignored her request.The bright red car kept moving backwards slowly and only stopped w
The Gladwin Family Home suddenly became pitch black. The eyes of anyone in the house could not see anything, there was only pitch black darkness.Galdwin's voice immediately surprised Ed Shane, who was so close to Ivy. Ed Shane immediately moved away from the woman's body.Visible in about three meters from where Ed Shane and Ivy were, a black silhouette of a human with a build very similar to Gladwin's.Indeed, what Ed Shane and Ivh saw was true, he was Galdwin who had said to Ed Shane to turn on the light switch that went out."Y--yes, Dad." Ed Shane said, quickly getting up from his chair.His heart was beating fast, in his little man's heart he hoped that Gladwin would not see what had just happened between him and Ivy.It's possible that not only Lilyana, but also Gladwin suspects that her daughter-in-law is having an affair. Ed Shane, who was still dissatisfied with what he did, didn't want this to happen.The man walked quickly out of the house, flipped the light switch and the
The light in the room, which had been still off, was then turned on. After seeing a woman sitting on a bed wearing only a lingerie, Ed Shane immediately closed the door of the room.A room which is not too bad because Gladwin is also quite kind and pays attention to the comfort of the workers in his house. It's just that currently the room is empty because there is no household assistant working there.A smile appeared on Ivy's face as her eyes glanced down at her thighs and pulled the lengerie she was wearing up a little. This time not only Ivy, but Ed Shane also smiled.Without waiting long, Ed Shane immediately climbed into bed. The rope behind Ivy's body was pulled making the lingerie slip off.A soft pink lingerie that was used by Lilyana in the past, Ed Shane doesn't know where to get it."Why did you find this lingerie, Honey?" Ed Shane's hand did not stay still.Ivy brought her finger to her lips, "Shhh, I found it in the cupboard. Have you played with it there before?"For a
"Umm, Honey ... I feel so sleepy," said Ed Shane.His right hand wrapped around the shoulder of his wife who was stepping closer. With that hand, Ed Shane tried to make his wife turn around and return to the room."B--but--""Never mind, let it be later someone also turns off the light. Let's go back to sleep, Honey," said Ed Shane in a deep voice.Each step of they feet moved immediately until they both arrived at the room. The door to the room that was open closed immediately.Meanwhile, Lucy was still in the same position. Her eyes were fixed on the door of the room where Ed Shane and Lilyana entered.One of her feet hit the ground in annoyance with Ed Shane and his father-in-law. Her eyes glanced sharply at the bedroom door which was still closed.Lucy deliberately cleared her throat quite loudly.A few seconds later, the sound of pleasure was heard from the household assistant's room. It seemed that from within, the two people who were fighting their strength were feeling anxious
