Stay or Leave

In the morning, Ayunda was ready to start her activities. Ayunda will come to the cafe, because it has been a few days that Ayunda has not come to the cafe and then Ayunda will see Doctor Sari.

Before Ayunda came out of her room, Ayunda first prepared her husband’s needs. After that, Ayunda went out to the dining room for breakfast.

Right after Ayunda opened the door to her room, David was already in front of her.

“You want to go honey?” David asked Ayunda by looking at Ayunda’s appearance from top to bottom.

“Yes, mas, I have prepared everything for David’s needs. I’ll go first,” said Ayunda to David, shaking David’s hand.

“Be careful,” replied David, kissing Ayunda’s forehead and David’s treatment of Ayunda couldn’t be separated from the view of Bella, David’s second wife, who was standing not far from Ayunda and David at this time.

David entered the room while Ayunda continued her steps to leave immediately.

“Hey Bell, how are you?” Say hello to Ayunda when she meets Bella who is holding her daughter.

I don’t know what the purpose of Bella suddenly holding her daughter who was with the nurse because Bella usually never carried her child, only occasionally.

“Okay sis, sis Ayu where have you been?” bella asked Ayunda while gently caressing her daughter’s cheek and Ayunda saw it just smiled bitterly.

“There is a need” Ayunda answered briefly.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Oh, look, my daughter is beautiful, isn’t sheI’m sure later if Ms. Ayu and Mas David have children it will be very beautiful because Ms. Ayu is also beautiful,” said Bella, smiling at her daughter.

Again, Ayunda could only smile bitterly in response to her honey’s words. whether it’s praise or satire for Ayunda or Ayunda who is easily offended by words that talk about children.

“It’s beautiful, then I want to go first, okay?” Ayunda said as she was about to kiss the Princess from her honey but couldn’t because Bella forbade it.

“Oh no, Bianca is not used to being kissed and held by strangers, sis,” Bella said as she kept her child out of Ayunda’s reach.

“Hmmm okay sorry” Ayunda said then continued her steps down the stairs because Bella had already walked away from her after forbidding Ayunda from holding her daughter.

Which woman does not want to have a child, all married women want themselves to be called mother, mama or other names. Likewise Ayunda who is trying to get pregnant.

Ayunda immediately left, did not eat breakfast because she had no appetite for breakfast.

In the afternoon, Ayunda returned to see Doctor Sari and the doctor who treated her illness.

“Afternoon doc” Ayunda greeted the doctor who was there.

“Miss Ayunda, do you really want to get pregnant?” asked the middle-aged doctor who had been treating Ayunda.

“Yes doc, I want to take advantage of the rest at the end of my life by giving memories,” said Ayunda holding tightness in her chest.

“Okay, but we have to go through an examination first. Are you ready, Miss Ayunda,” said the doctor whose name was Liam.

“Ready doctor” Ayunda answered without hesitation.

Then Ayunda did a series of tests in the laboratory as directed by the doctor.

After finishing, Ayunda went back to her sister’s house to tell her about the disease she had been hiding so far without anyone knowing.

Ayunda arrived at her sister’s residence which was quite luxurious just like her husband’s house.

“Hi Sis” Ayunda greeted Leo who happened to be at home sitting with his wife and daughter in the living room.

“Ayu, how are you, dear?” Leo greeted back his only sister.

“I’m fine sis” Ayunda replied with a smile that rose on her lips.

“Come on, where were you yesterday, I was worried when David looked for you here at night,” said Lisa.

“I just want to be alone brother-in-law” Ayunda replied.

“Honey, take Leoana with the nurse first.” Leo ordered his wife to take her daughter to the nurse who helped her and Lisa immediately obeyed her husband.

After a while, Lisa had joined again with the two sisters in the living room.

“Come on, your body looks pretty thin,” said Lisa, who was already sitting next to Ayunda and embracing her sister-in-law.

“The hell, oh yes, there is something I want to talk to you about,” Ayunda said, changing the subject.

“Say, do you still want to stick with your marriage?” leo asked Ayunda while looking at Ayunda intensely.

“Of course I will persist until God himself tells me to go” Ayunda answered Leo’s question by holding back the tears that were about to fall down her cheeks.

“Then what do you want to talk about?” Leo asked Ayunda again.

“I will tell you guys but please don’t say anything to Mas David about this,” Ayunda said.

“He is your husband, Ayunda, so whatever happens to you, David must knowwhether it’s later David will accept it or not, it’s clear David must know” Leo gave Ayunda an understanding.

“But I don’t want to make him sad or disappointed if he knows my current situation. I love him very much” Ayunda laughed.

“Then what about Akmal?” Leo asked Ayunda.

“Akmal is just the past, Sis, and at this time, only Mas David, who I love, nothing else,” Ayunda said

“Didn’t David hurt you,” Leo said.

“That’s not what he wanted, bro, David cares about me, even though lately Mas David’s attention has been reduced to me,” said Ayunda, who was still defending her husband in front of her brother.

“It’s up to you, so what do you want to say to Big Brother?” Leo changed the subject.

“I have a serious illness sis and soon I will leave you all” Ayunda said.

“Are you sick, Ayu?” Leo asked his sister impatiently as well as Lisa, who had been listening to the brothers’ conversation waiting for the same answer to her husband’s question.
