Stay or Leave

Ayunda will go away for a while to calm her heart and mind. I don’t know where Ayunda is going at this time, what is clear is that Ayunda has to be alone.

At the hospital, David opened his cellphone and saw a message from Ayunda but he did not reply to the message. because David thought, Ayunda just a moment of me time.

Today Bella has been allowed to go home because her condition and the baby are healthy.

David, Mrs. Ratih and Bella with their baby girl who had just been born a few days ago were on their way home.

After less than an hour, they finally arrived home.

“Where’s Ayu?” asked Mrs. Ratih after entering the house but there was no one.

“Her out,” said David.

“He always works like that, he can never just stay at home,” Mrs. Ratih grumbled but David ignored it.

“Come on, let’s go upstairs, you have to rest” said David to Bella, his second wife and left Mrs. Ratih who was grumbling.

David led Bella up the stairs to his room.

Arriving in the room, David told Bella to rest again.

“You just stay here, if you need anything, just tell your aunt,” said David.

“Hmmm, what do you want our child to be named?” Bella asked, looking at David.

“Bianca Nugraha,” David answered simply.

“Nice name, I like it” Bella replied.

“Yeah, go to sleep” David said then left Bella’s room to his room with Ayunda.

“Dav, Mama wants to go home first. The nurse who will help Bella has arrived, she’s downstairs. later if your daughter cries you just call the nurse. Let Bella rest first.” Mrs. Ratih ordered David when David was about to enter Ayunda’s room, they passed at the door.

“Yes,” replied David.

“Oh yes you have given your daughter’s name?” Mrs. Ratih asked her son.

“Bianca,” David answered.

“That’s a good name, okay, come home,” said Mrs. Ratna.

“Yeah, be careful,” said David.

After Mrs. Ratih left David, David resumed his steps to enter his room.

david looked around his room with Ayunda. As if something was missing, David took a deep breath. I don’t know what David is feeling right now, what’s clear is that his life is getting more complicated. even though he already had a child but for some reason David did not feel relieved in his heart, instead his heart and mind were confused.

David is still in the room, waiting for Ayunda’s return. But until late at night, Ayunda had no news. David tried to think maybe Ayunda was at Leo’s house, his sister.

then finally David walked out of Ayunda’s room to Bella’s room.

There he saw Bella was giving her child’s milk through a pacifier bottle.

“Not sleeping, papa, hmmm,” said David, approaching the second Isti and her daughter.

“Where have you been?” asked Bella spoiled.

“In the next room,” David replied, kissing his nursing daughter on the cheek.

“Are you in the room with Ms. Ayu? asked Bella in a disapproving tone.

“No,” David answered simply.

“I and Bianca need you more, bro, you don’t go without telling me,” Bella said.

“Yes, have you eaten?” David asked changing the subject.

“Not yet, I’m waiting for you, mas,” Bella said while clinging to David’s arm.

“Let’s eat first, okay, let Bianca be with the nurse,” said David.

then David and Bella immediately descended the stairs to the dining table after giving Bianca to the nurse assigned to help take care of it.

Arriving at the dining table, David told Bella to sit down after pulling a chair for him and then after that, David brought Bella some food.

“What do you want to eat?” David asked.

“Same this, this and this,” said Bella, pointing at the food available on the dining table.

Usually when with Ayunda, David is always served. But with his second wife, it was David who served him.

After finishing their meal, David and Bella returned to their room.

“Dear, Bianca, let me sleep with the nurse, okay?” Bella said to David.

“Yes,” David answered simply.

Then David came out of Bella’s room again but was restrained by Bella.

“Where are you going sir?” ask Bella

“Wanna go out for a bit?” David replied.

“Want to meet Ms. Ayu?” Bella asked again.

“After all, Ayunda is still wife, so I will look for her if she doesn’t come back to this house,” said David and left Bella.

After David left, Bella clenched her fists in anger.

“Just watch, I make sure that soon you two will separate. And Mas David will only be mine completely,” Bella muttered in her own monologue.

after leaving Bella’s room, David walked towards the front to wait for Ayunda.

David tried to call Ayunda’s cellphone number, but it was not active.

“Where the hell are you Ay,, it’s late and haven’t come home yet. it’s not usually you like this without giving news” David worried as he continued to contact Ayunda via his cellphone which he had been holding to his ear to hear whether the call was connected or notbut the one who answered the call was not Ayunda’s voice, but a flat female voice, well who else if not the operator.

Waiting for a long time in front of the house while continuing to call on his cellphone, David finally decided to go look for Ayunda’s whereabouts at Leo’s house, Ayunda’s sister.

After a few minutes, David finally arrived at his brother-in-law’s residence.

After the gate was opened by the security guard on duty in front of Leo’s house, David drove his car into Leo’s yard. David got out of his car and walked towards the door.

it didn’t take long for David to ring the bell, the door was opened. Which coincidentally opened the door was Leo himself.

“You,” Leo said.

“Please have a seat,” Leo continued, inviting his sister-in-law to sit down.

“Thank you,” replied David.

“What is it?” Leo asked who seemed to have no sense of friendship between Leo and David.

“Is Ayunda here?” asked David at last who actually felt sorry for Leo.

“Nothing,” Leo answered simply.

“You don’t hide it from me Le” said David in disbelief.

“You just search all over this house, if you don’t believe it. After all, aren’t you her husband, why don’t you know where your wife went. Is it because you already have another wife besides my sister so you don’t care about her anymore, what a shame for my sister,” Leo sarcastically said. on David.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ayunda herself told me to remarry, so Ayunda should also accept the consequences by having to share,” said David, not wanting to be blamed.

“Well, it was my sister who told her to, but if Ayunda isn’t constantly pressured by your family, especially your mother, then Ayunda doesn’t want to be married eitherand what is certain is that if you really love Ayunda, then you will not obey Ayunda’s wishes, even if Ayunda cries blood, you should still refuse,” said Leo.

“This is my household business, you don’t need to interfere even though Ayunda is your sister” said David.

“Then why are you still here,, Go find Ayunda, not Ayunda is still your wife. She is still your responsibility, unless you return it to me, then Ayunda will be my responsibility back. and one more thing if you don’t want me to interfere in your household, then your mother also has no right to interfere, let alone manage it.” Leo said then left David who was still sitting quietly in the living room.
