LOGINBintang and Langit really did go back to the hospital. Of course, it was because Langit wanted to see their unborn baby. This made Bintang very happy, knowing that Langit truly accepted her pregnancy. Langit glanced left and right, looking at several married couples waiting for their turn to be called. “So many people are pregnant,” Langit said in mild amazement as he observed them one by one. Bintang chuckled softly at her husband’s comment. She then intertwined their fingers and looked at him with happiness. “You’re so adorable,” Bintang said, finding her husband amusing because of his reaction. “What’s adorable?” Langit asked in confusion, even squinting slightly as he looked at his wife. Bintang smiled widely, then pinched her husband’s nose. “You are. A married man acting like this,” Bintang joked in response. Naturally, Bintang and Langit’s behavior drew the attention of several couples around them. Perhaps they thought the two of them were newlyweds, still deeply affect
Langit gazed at Bintang, who was already fast asleep. He gently brushed her forehead and cheeks, and the sweet smile on Bintang’s sleeping face made him feel calm. Langit recalled his mother’s words earlier that afternoon. If Joya had not spoken to him first, perhaps he would not be able to sleep now and would still be arguing, shocked by the news of Bintang’s pregnancy. “El.” Bintang woke up and saw her husband still sitting up, not yet asleep. “Hm, what is it?” Langit gently stroked Bintang’s hair. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Bintang asked, lifting her head slightly to look at her husband. Langit lay down beside Bintang after hearing her question. He then turned on his side so they were facing each other. “I just finished checking some files that weren’t done earlier,” Langit replied while holding Bintang. Bintang continued watching her husband, then buried her face against him as Langit hugged her. “El.” “Hm ….” “You’re really not angry or disappointed, right?” Bintang as
Earlier that afternoon.Langit had just gone down to the lobby to head to the cafeteria. He waited for Bintang, but she neither sent a message nor contacted him at all. Langit himself did not want to call first, afraid that Bintang might be busy.“El.”Langit had just stepped into the lobby when he heard Joya calling him. He turned around and saw his mother walking toward him.“Where are you going?” Joya asked when she reached him.“Lunch,” Langit replied while pointing toward the cafeteria. “Where have you been, Mom?” he asked afterward.“A check-up,” Joya answered. “Eat in my office instead. I brought lunch as well.” Joya showed the food she was carrying.Langit nodded in response to his mother’s invitation, then returned to the elevator and headed to her office.In Joya’s office, Langit ate lunch with his mother. She was still working there as a designer.“You didn’t invite Dad to lunch? He’d definitely get jealous if he knew you invited me instead of him,” Langit joked.“Let him b
“How was the meeting earlier?”Langit asked the question as soon as they arrived at the apartment together.Bintang was startled when she heard Langit’s question. Since returning home, she had indeed looked tense.Langit was puzzled to see his wife flinch in surprise.“Are you okay?” Langit asked as he stepped closer. He asked Bintang to face him, then looked at her restless expression.“What’s wrong, hm?” Langit asked gently.“Nothing, I’m just hungry, so I was startled when you suddenly spoke,” Bintang replied evasively while scratching her temple.Langit smiled at Bintang’s response, then said, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? If you had told me while we were on the way, we could have eaten outside.”Bintang smiled awkwardly and replied, “I only started feeling hungry after we entered the apartment.”Langit smiled again, making Bintang feel even more flustered.“What do you want to eat? I’ll cook whatever you like. You can take a shower first.” Langit took off his jacket and tie, th
Bintang tried to smile even though she felt slightly panicked and nervous. She looked at the woman who was now approaching her.“Bin, what are you doing here?” Joya asked while staring at Bintang’s anxious expression.“Why are you at the hospital, Mom? Are you sick?” Bintang asked, trying to divert Joya’s attention away from herself.“Oh, I just had a health check-up,” Joya replied while pointing toward the clinic she usually visited.Bintang nodded repeatedly, then noticed Joya looking at her intently.“Then why are you at the hospital? A check-up too? Where is El? Why did he let you come alone for a medical visit?” Joya asked in rapid succession.“Well, Mom .…” Bintang tried to speak, but stopped as Joya spoke again.“I’ll call El. He should have accompanied you, especially for a medical check-up. Is work really more important than you?” Joya said as she took out her phone to call Langit.“Mom, please don’t,” Bintang panicked and stopped Joya, who was about to contact Langit.Joya l
It had been a month since Bintang and Langit returned from their vacation. That morning, Langit was putting on his tie, preparing to go to the office as usual.“Bin, are you not done in the bathroom yet? We’re running late. Don’t let yourself miss breakfast.”Langit called out to Bintang because she had been in the bathroom for quite a while.“Yes, I’m done. Go to the dining room first, I’ll follow,” Bintang replied.Langit glanced toward the bathroom, then chose to head to the dining room to wait for his wife so they could have breakfast together.Langit sat down while enjoying his coffee, waiting for Bintang to arrive so they could eat together.“Why did you take so long in the bathroom?” Langit asked when he saw Bintang finally arrive.“My stomach suddenly hurt. Maybe I ate something wrong,” Bintang answered. She pulled out the chair beside Langit and took the glass of milk she usually drank.Langit was sipping his coffee when he heard Bintang’s answer. He looked at his wife, who i
