"I slept in my friend's apartnt," Elsa lied. She invited Haikal to sit on the edge of the bed and hugged him. There was a sense of regret for having left his son yesterday.
"Why don't you answer my calls?" asked Alex still in his fiery rage.
"Because I don't want to talk to you," Elsa replied then turned to look at Alex. "Please don't complicate things. I'm tired, I want to rest."
"But you're outrageous!" growled Alex.
"And you only care about Bryana and Calvin. Then let also want to care for myself. I want to feel calm!"
Alex sighed, looking hatefully at Elsa who always linked their rift with Bryan and Calvin. "Elsa, don't use them as an excuse. You are deliberately avoiding , you are being impudent. Or could it be… During the ti I was held captive for up to three months, you often ca ho early like this, abandoning our child?"
Elsa took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. She tried to remain calm and stood up carrying Haikal who had been comfortable in her arms. "Are you thinking that I was enjoying my life when you disappeared?" She asked.
"Yeah, you might as well have fun with people who like you as an adult magazine model!" replied Alex curtly.
"How can you accuse so lowly! I was worried about you, Alex. I was trying to find you, looking for information about you, until I begged Carlos to mobilize his people to find you," she said with all the pain because of her husband's accusations. 'And I sold myself for you, but this is what I got,' she thought.
Alex was silent, while Elsa chose to leave the room while still carrying Haikal. She couldn't stand Alex's attitude anymore, which she thought was getting more and more selfish. Ah, her husband is selfish, then she consciously makes love to Carlos. who is worse?
Elsa walked down the stairs to Haikal's room which was downstairs. But when she looked towards the living room, her eyes fell on a figure who had just arrived. She quickly wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes.
"Carlos, why are you here?" She asked as she reached the ground floor.
Instead of answering, Carlos looked intensely at Elsa and asked, "What did Alex do to you?"
Before she could answer, Alex even ca and greeted Carlos. Elsa also chose to continue walking towards the room, letting Carlos said. She gave in but was still a little afraid that the man would tell her about what had happened last night until this morning.
Carlos was silent, his eyes were distracted by Alex who had just co down the stairs. "Why is your wife crying?" he asked flatly.
"I'm just reprimanding her impudent attitude," replied Alex curtly because he wasn't in a good mood. He walked to the sofa and sat down. "I'm so sorry, I can't co to the office today."
Carlos was silent rembering that if Alex stayed at ho, it would an more stress for Elsa, or ... Or even make peace and make her simply forgotten by Elsa. Ah no. It couldn't happen because he wanted them to separate.
"But you have a eting with a client from out of town. This is very important while I have other business regarding family matters. I hope you can help , I will increase your salary if necessary," Carlos said then sat down beside Alex. "Besides, instead of you being at ho just arguing like this, it's better to keep yourself busy with work. I think you two need ti to introspect each other," he continued ostentatiously.
Alex glanced at Carlos who didn't act as usual who didn't care about his family matters. "Is the eting schedule really can't be postponed?"
"It could be, but I feel sorry for the client because he has co from Surabaya," Carlos replied, then patted Alex's thigh. "Go to the office. Now I have to go on other business."
Alex just nodded while Carlos stood up and left him alone.

Arriving at the hospital, Dean imdiately received treatnt from the doctor. He got the dicine and his butt didn't escape the injection. it made Bryana chuckle amused and also a pity that her husband seed uncomfortable to sit back down.
"Does he need hospitalization, Doc?" Bryana asked when Dean had been examined. She stood holding Aidyn who looked at Dean sitting on the examination bed. Ah, the baby feels sorry for his father who looks weak.
"No, the pain isn't too much of a concern. I'll give him dicine," replied the doctor, who was a man of about 35 looking dignified wearing a dical attire and white-rimd cylindrical glasses.
"That's good then," Bryana breathed a sigh of relief, then walked over to Dean while the doctor returned to his chair and wrote down so prescriptions for Dean that had to be redeed at the pharmacy.
"After this, we will go to Dany's room for a while and then go ho," said Bryana, sitting next to Dean.
Dean nodded, then looked at Aidyn who smiled at him, the baby provided support and entertainnt for him. "He's very sweet. Let carry him," he exclaid.
"But your body is still weak," said Bryana unsure.
"I'm still strong if I just carry him." Dean insisted, grabbing Aydin in Bryana's arms. He picked up the baby and hugged him, kissing his soft face and the scent of baby oil and baby powder. "You wish daddy a speedy recovery, okay?"
Aidyn only responded by smiling and patting his father's lips, while his mother was consulting a doctor while taking a prescription paper.
After receiving a prescription for dicine, Bryana took Dean to Dany's room. they strolled down the grand hospital corridor and accidentally bumped into Louis and Lauren.
"You... Did you guys just co?" Bryana greeted, uh at the sa ti asked enthusiastically. Yes, because she knows that Lauren's goal to the hospital is to have her pregnancy checked.
"We've been here a long ti and are going back to school," answered Louis who continued to hold Lauren's hand. Ugh, he is a loyal and caring guy like Dean.
"How is the result?" Bryan asked.
"We'll have a baby soon," Louis replied with a smile, glancing at Lauren. He couldn't hide his happiness, even Dean and Bryana were happy, while Lauren was a bit shy at Bryana. Because she is shy.
Bryana clapped her hands and approached Lauren, then hugged her until Louis had to let go of his grip on Lauren.
"Congratulations, Lauren. Finally, you can have another child," said Bryana with a smile and then let go of her arms on the babysitter. "You have to take care of your health, take care of yourself. And starting today, you don't have to work. I'll hire another babysitter."
"Yes, ma'am," said Lauren sowhat awkwardly.
"You also stay at our house, so you can stay close to Louis," said Dean who was holding Aidyn. He understood that Lauren would be like Bryana when she was pregnant and couldn't stay away from her. Likewise, Lauren will not be able to stay away from Louis who incidentally is the father of the baby she is carrying.
