Love, take my side
Chapter 142

Nia sat down waiting for Alex to finish her work first before accompanying herself to the funeral. There was nothing Nia had to prepare to visit her son's belly button. Nia chose to sit back on the sofa in the room while watching her husband-to-be who was seriously sitting at his desk.

Nia smiled happily. There was no reason for her to reject Alex's proposal. Alex was very kind and kept his promise. For six months I was in love with my best friend. Alex has a deep respect for her and never overstepped her treat herself as a lover. Alex can also accept her baby daughter like her own.

Nia could really feel Alex's treatment of her daughter like the treatment of a real father. Not infrequently, Alex buys what his daughter needs. Diapers and milk are the basic needs of babies every day. Alex takes part in the responsibility.

Nia never asked Alex for that. Nia also felt bad about receiving the gift from Alex. Alex is still the status of lover in his life but the man has done the responsibilities like a father for Naya's daughter Nia.

Nia also actually did not want to rush the hunt to get married. Nia still wants to focus on her new venture, but Alex manages to convince herself to accept the man as her life partner. They are not two people who are new to the world. Both Nia and Alex already know each other's character making Nia finally did not hesitate to accept the man's proposal. About Nia's new business. The woman follows Alex in the baby-supply business. Alex supported the Nia-owned business until it had its own Nia-owned store that had been operating in the suburbs for two months.

"Come, go!" said Alex who was already standing in front of Nia. Nia stammered. Thinking about her life after marriage later made Nia not realize her future husband moved towards her.

"Well."

Alex chuckles. The man felt anxious to see Nia's sometimes spoiled behavior on him when they were both like this.

"Wait, I'll get you a drink" Alex replied, pinching Nia's nose slowly. Then the man stepped into the corner of the room where there was a showcase there.

"Drink," said Alex thrusting the bottle to Nia after opening the lid first. Nia receiving. Sipping the minimum of that mineral. Nia looked at Alex's smiling face looking at her.

"Hard her likeness. Why was he arrested from before?" ask Alex. Looking at the water in the bottle was a little leftover. Alex suspects that Nia is holding back that thirst.

"Wait to be offered a drink. Turns out it must be asked first given the mineral water."

"Then anyway. It doesn't seem to be," Alex denied. Since Nia was in the room, I don't know what she had offered to Nia. Even used food boxes and cups are still visible in the waste bin where Nia's food and drinks are used. And it was of course Alex who ordered for Nia.

"I'm not Lex's thirsty, but you're. I've been in this room since. You don't drink even your food hasn't been eaten. You are very attentive to me. But you're not paying attention to yourself. Loving me then you also have to love yourself by keeping your diet and lifestyle," Nia said as she looked at the good man in front of her.

One thing Nia dislikes in Alex is that he is a hard worker but often forgets himself. Like today. Nia can see if Alex skipped her lunch just to finish Nia's wedding dress.

"I haven't eaten because I'm not hungry yet."

"Of course you're not hungry. You are more concerned with cigarettes than food and the minimum healthy that goes into your stomach. Lex, please fix your lifestyle. I want us to live healthy together" Nia said seriously. Nia even grabbed and clasped Alex's hand hoping the man could take care of his health. Alex never complained of any pain. But the affection in the woman's heart makes her worry about Alex if often neglecting her stomach will have an impact on the man's health in the future.

"You said this. Because you love me?" ask Alex. Her heart was very happy to get the attention many times like this from Nia. This is not the first time Nia reminds herself of a healthy diet and lifestyle. Seeing Nia not tired of being tired of warning her about it made Alex moved. He felt himself valuable to Nia.

"Yes is the condong. It can't be because of hate" replied Nia while releasing her hand from Alex's hand. The man laughed.

"Yee. That one is you. Not me" Alex said. The future husband and wife has returned to their status of being friends. They are often like this. The serious conversation ended in a joke.

"It's not too late for us to leave if I eat first?" ask Alex. Nia immediately nodded her head delighted to see the man who was finally willing to eat before they went to the funeral. Nia even immediately opened the food box that had been located on the table.

"Open your mouth, Lex" said Nia. In his hand was a spoonful of food ready to be put in Alex's mouth. Gaining the attention of such a beloved woman, of course Alex did not refuse. The man opened his mouth wide.

"It feels good and it's better to bribe you like this" Alex said, chewing his mouth. Nia smiling. In the heart of Nia promised to give more attention to Alex after becoming her husband later, especially in terms of diet like this.

"Don't throw a sledgehammer in front of me Lex, just tell me you want me to feed you until this food runs out, right?. I already know what you look like.'

"You were right kedondong. It is not in vain that I love my own friend. Turns right. A friend can understand us even if we do not say what our own desires are."

Nia laughed at Alex's words. Alex was joking. But Nia could feel that what Alex was saying was the truth. He is like that too. Alex understands him a lot even though Nia does not express what she wants.

The contents of the food box have now moved to Alex's stomach with the help of Nia. Alex stroked his already bloated stomach.

"Thank you my dear."

"Eh."

Nia looked embarrassedly at her future lover who called herself that affection. During this time they are accustomed to their favorite calls, namely kedondong and nenas. This time, Alex called herself with a romantic call that of course there was a strange beating in her heart.

"Four days we're getting married. Can I call you that name?" ask Alex. Dating for six months, they communicate like friends. Nothing changed from their friendship at the same time they were dating.

"Su. I have," said Nia. There was a sudden stiffening felt by Nia's body just with the change of the call.

Alex laughed at Nia who turned stiff.

"Dear baby. Come closer," Alex said as he touched Nia's arm half a meter away. Nia shifted her seat up to their distance of only a few cent.

Without asking permission first. Alex hugged Nia. Nia surprised. But that hug was just for a moment. Alex lets go of the hug before Nia protests. While Nia was busy neutralizing her irregular heartbeat. Before they date. Alex once hugged herself when she first learned of her pregnancy problems. But after agreeing to date. Don't hug. No touching hands ever. Nia forbids it because the touch of the hand can go on to cuddling. From the embrace can go on to the kiss. And from the kiss can continue anywhere.

"We're leaving" Alex said. Alex got up from his seat and stood up. Alex gives her hand to Nia so she can stand up.

"I'm sorry, if my actions were excessive. I'm too happy."

"It's okay Lex."

It was too much of an exaggeration if Nia were to argue over that hug. Nia received Alex's hand and finally stood up.

"Four today, let us date like any other lover. I promise it's just like this" Alex said. Nia nodded her head. Nia believes her future husband's words if Alex doesn't cross the line.

Nia spread a smile to her former comrade. Alex doesn't really care about his employees. He continued to hold Nia's hand.

"Honey, dear," Alex said after opening the door for Nia. Alex pushed slowly the ex-wife's body then circled the car.

"Lex, did you see the stares of your employees?.. They're shocked."

"Leave it. Did we take Naya there," Alex asked. The man deliberately asked so that he could take a shortcut to Nia's house.

Nia thought for a moment. There was a desire to take her daughter to her son's funeral. Meet the baby girl with the navel of her baby boy who is different in nature. But given the distance and longer time if they pick up Naya first makes Nia decide to go alone with Alex.

Alex takes the car after Nia mentions the funeral address of her baby boy.

"Why do we stop here?" ask Nia. They're still halfway between Alex's boutique and the cemetery.

"We buy fresh flowers first" Alex said, pointing to the florist across the street.

"Yes, you're right, Lex. I've never been there at all and don't know if there's a florist around the cemetery or not" Nia said, removing her seatbelt from her body.

"Let me go there. Later your skin is burnt by the sun," said Alex while holding Nia's hand who was about to open the car door. After Nia agrees to stay in the car, Alex gets off the car.

Nia's gaze could not be separated from the man her future husband had been since getting out of the car. Watching Alex while crossing the street is even now talking to the owner of the florist.

"Thank you, Lex, for all your love" said Nia slowly. The man is now crossing the street after buying a fresh bungan. Without Alex somehow his life is now. Nia can feel the sincerity of Alex's love for her. Nia receives the flower basket before Alex gets in the car.

Alex took the car back to his destination.

"Luckily we bought the flowers. It turns out that around here there is nothing to sell the nunga," Nia said after Alex stopped his car next to a black car not far from the entrance of the cemetery.

"That seems like a place to sell flowers but it's closed" Alex said as he pointed to one of the small houses. Nia looked at the house that Alex was pointing at.

"We have to report first, yes" Nia said. At the entrance was also a small house that seemed to be the burial guard's place.

"He must report first. Come down baby," said Alex. The couple opened the door at the same time and almost lowered their legs together as well.

Nia was about to close the car door but her hand was restrained after seeing someone standing in front of the man's car and was staring at him.

"Sister Danny," Nia said in her heart. The woman was shocked to see the father of her twin babies being in that place at the moment.

Nia was holding the car door tight. He did not want to meet the man but they met in this place with the same purpose. The difference is Danny was about to go home and alone while Nia just came with her future husband.

Nia did not turn her face away so as not to look at the man. It turned out that after the birth of her twin babies and even wanted to get married for four more days. The shadow of Danny and his family's rejection of him remains vivid in his memory.

"Nia, let's hurry" called Alex who had walked a few steps away from the car.

"Lex," call Nia. His voice trembled just from remembering the treatment Danny and his family had in the past.

Realizing something was wrong with his future wife. Alex is approaching Nia.

"What's wrong?" ask Alex attentively. The man could see the change in the face of his future wife.

"Next time we visit my baby boy's bellybutton. I want to go home now" said Nia. Alex was obviously confused by Nia's words. Alex looked at her. Then looked at Nia and the man standing in front of the car in turn.

"Sorry interfering. Can I talk to Nia. There's something important I want to talk to him about."

It turns out Danny approached Alex and Nia. Alex looked at Danny in full search.

"introduce. I'm Danny. The man from the baby boy you were going to visit," Danny said, telling him who he was and extending his hand to Alex. Nia turned her face away from Danny.

"Alexes. Nia's husband-to-be" Alex replied as he received Danny's hand. The two men of Nia's past and the man of Nia's future shook hands with each other.

"We go inside for a minute. If you want to talk to my future wife. You can wait where you want. At a cafe or at a fast food restaurant not far from this place" Alex said.

"I'll just wait here for you" replied Danny. He did not want to give up this opportunity to talk to Nia. He's afraid if Alex agrees to wait at the cafe or at the restaurant. Nia was not willing to meet him.

"No need to wait for Danny's brother. Because there's no reason for us to talk about anything" Nia said. Nia then closed the car door.

"Come lex," Nia asked. Alex stepped in Nia's footsteps until they walked next to each other.

"Why did you tell him to wait for us?" nia asked annoyedly to Alex.

"He wants to talk. And I don't think there's any harm in you talking. I'll be there later. So what are you afraid of?"

"Nothing I'm afraid of. I don't want to talk to him because there's nothing to talk about."

"That's what you think. But according to him. So it's good to finish what he wants to talk about. That's better than evading."

"Nia, don't be afraid. Don't dodge. But it has to be faced. I will be with you no matter what your circumstances. We'll face together what he wants to talk about. Okay?"
