After confirming that John's doctor's car had actually passed from the ranch's front gate, Leo rushed back into the artistic building.
Crossing the living room, Leo had found the faces of his parents sitting there smiling.
"Momm ...?"
Leo's eyebrows intertwine when he finds Lana, who had originally insisted on staying with Victoria when John's doctor came to check, now sits sweetly beside Arshlan.
"Don't ask about anything. Instead, hurry up and go to Victoria right now, and ask her for an explanation ..."
It was not Lana, but Arshlan who answered. But next to her, Lana seemed to nod in approval to her husband.
"But, dadd ..."
Float.
Staring at the eyes of his parents that are difficult to interpret, has made Leo choose reluctant to continue the sentence to be said.
Leo's breathing slowly blows before finally choosing to speak again.
"Alright, then I'll meet Victoria now" Leo said, again greeted by a nod of Lana and Arshlan.
Leo's steps swung into his room, about to meet his wife Victoria, with a mind filled with a million questions.
'What's wrong with Victoria ...?'
πΈπΈπΈπΈπΈ
As Leo opened the door of the room, the first thing he saw was a view of Victoria's back.
The slender body of the woman was wrapped in a moss-green dress below the knee.
Victoria stood sculpting with her chest closed, with a gaze that pointed straight out the glass window, where there was a stretch of verdant meadow as far as the eye could see, complete with a view of some cows grazing under the hill, far away there.
"Victus ..." Leo gently touched one of Victoria's shoulders, able to keep the woman awake from long daydreams that I don't know what.
"Leo ...?" victoria's face was misbehaved when she realized that Leo was standing right in front of her.
"What did Doctor John say?" ask Leo again, without further ado.
Victoria looked mute, making both of Leo's eyebrows furrowed.
"Victus ..."
"Egh, anu .. I .. said it's okay ..."
Seeing the agitated movements of Victoria, made Leo increasingly doubt the answer. Especially when looking at Victoria who was standing while twisting her fingers with each other. Seen once if there is something to hide, but still read.
"It can't be just that. There must be something."
Victoria was downcast, hiding her pair of teary eyes, because on the other hand she felt unable to lie to Leo, and on the other hand, she did not dare to tell the truth.
Really, Victoria was not ready to accept what Leo's reaction would be like, even though mommy Lana had convinced herself many times that Everything will be fine, still Victoria felt lost all her courage.
"Tell me the truth, how was John's examination, and what exactly have you been ill ...?"
"N-no, I'm not sick ..."
Real gawked.
"Then?"
Victoria was seen biting her lips again, and as she ventured to look at Leo, two clear fruits immediately fell there, without being prevented.
Leo was flabbergasted to find that sad sight.
"Leo, sorry .. I'm sorry ..."
Leo's two great fingers have been grasped so firmly, by both Victorian fingers. The woman had sobbed in front of Leo, showing a deep sense of guilt.
"Vic, why are you ...?" ask Leo concerned.
"I'm sorry, sorry ..."
"For God's sake, Vic, tell me what's going on?! Don't drive me crazy ...!!"
"Ak ... I .. I ..."
Leo removed his hand from within Victoria's, instead clutching the woman's shoulders tightly together.
"Say ..."
"Sorry ..."
"Say!"
"Leo ... I .. I ..."
"I said say, Victoria!!" leo's voice boomed in frustration and distress, seeing the condition of Victoria who still could not tell the truth.
Victoria's two trembling hands were seen stroking her stomach slowly.
Really, Victoria was feeling really scared right now, and that was the highest point of her life.
Five years ago, her confession had left Leo inflamed and unwilling to accept her pregnancy, let alone take responsibility.
Five years ago, her confession had left Leo desperate to drag himself to have an abortion.
Five years ago, when Victoria was determined to keep her fetus in poor physical and mental condition, Victoria actually felt the pain of miscarriage.
Well, five years ago ...
But everything still feels real in the eye of Victoria, as if reluctant to just disappear ...!
Leo was stunned beyond measure, as he began to understand what Victoria was trying to convey, through her gestures.
The grip on Victoria's shoulder slowly loosened, then slipped off, even now Leo's step receded three steps, away from Victoria's body.
Leo watched over Victoria's entire body shaking violently before him, and suddenly her soul was like hard, as soon as she realized how much she had cut the wound in her heart.
"Leo, I-I'm sorry .. I never intended .. to set you up again. I ... I don't mean that .. I .. neither do I expect that I have ..."
In an instant, Leo had silenced Victoria's entire sentence, by embracing the entire body of the woman who was shaking violently.
"Ssthtt ..." Leo tried to calm the tears of Victoria who broke her chest.
"Leo, I'm sorry ..."
"Nothing to forgive."
The head in Leo's embrace shook his head. His tear-filled face then looked up, staring at Leo intact.
"This time, I won't sue you again. Truly I promise .. but please, Leo .. allow me to have this child, do not ask me to remove it as before, for I am ... even if you want us to split up ..."
Although in tears and stammering, Victoria's determination sounded so unanimous.
Leo was stunned as he looked into the depths of Victoria's eyes.
Over the course of five years, Leo always asked to part ways, but Victoria was too stubborn and chose to continue to survive even though she had to be injured.
Leo really did not expect, if at this time only both ears even heard the request, directly from Victoria's own mouth.
"Vic, you ..."
"After a miscarriage the other day, for five years I've been using a non-hormonal contraceptive Intra Urine Device for a period of five years. But after five years passed, I was so happy and forgot to replace it in time, so the doctor said, there had been a little inflammation in my uterus, which made me have to pause for the IUD re-installation. The plan is I will just make an appointment with the obstetrician at the end of this week, but it turns out ... it turns out this time ... I .. I already already already ..."
Not only did Victoria feel her neck as if it was stuck, because in fact, Leo felt the same way.
Leo even just found out the truth now, that it turns out that within five years, Victoria had secretly used contraception.
'It should be as hard as I try, never to produce the slightest result. It turns out ... This is how it is!'
Bathin Leo.
Leo did not expect, that all this time he had really failed, because Victoria was proven to have used contraception without her knowledge!
"I will take this child with me ..."
"I don't allow it."
Victoria was flabbergasted to hear the rebuttal. "But ..."
"Don't dream!"
"Leo ... you .. you ...."
Victoria's face looked panicked, as well as deathly pale. The shadow that Leo would later take this child from him had made his bath raging.
"I want that baby. He's mine." Leo said coldly, indisputably.
Victoria's head shook firmly, her tears spilling as if they never dried up, constantly falling down vying over the delicate skin of her cheeks.
"No Leo, he's mine ..."
"She's mine .. and so are you."
Victoria was stunned, almost in disbelief when she heard it. His head again shook his head many times .. doubt with his own hearing.
Found that Leo approached Victoria, grabbed the cotton-absorbed body, and took it in her arms.
"Victoria, you heard that, right? He's mine, and so are you. You two are mine, and I'll never let any of you, get away from me. It will never ...!"
...
Connect ...
"Back me in Prayer, in order to always be fine, always be in the protection of ALLAH SWT, and be bestowed happiness to continue together. Amen ... Amen YRA ..."
Thank you my cheers π
