Pregnant

The clock's seconds appeared to move slowly. Naomi had already taken many quick glances at the adjoining wall clock.

She stood at the door waiting for Alfian on purpose. But the husband had still not arrived after more than an hour.

'Has he remained with Airin?' Naomi murmured inwardly.

Her chest ached as she remembered that incident.

Unintentionally, Naomi bit her fingertip. She occasionally groaned gently when his head began to hurt. Her tummy ached as well.

The door opened concurrently.. Naomi stood up right away and went up to Alfian.

"You just arrived," Naomi yelled.

In regards to what had transpired during the reunion, her mind had already accumulated a thousand inquiries.

Does Alfian have a relationship? From when? While Alfian is married, why do other kids believe that the two of them are still together?

Naomi swiftly shook her head. She was unable to predict that.

Alfian kept quiet. He made a small furrow in his brows before inhaling deeply. He averted his gaze and remained silent. Naomi remained still and motionless.

"Al! Al!" she exclaimed.

Still, Alfian disregarded it. Naomi called after him, but he kept going away.

"Alfian, you haven't explained everything! You ignored me. I'm your wife!"

"ALFIAN ADAMS!!"

Alfian finally stopped walking and turned around when Naomi yelled loudly.

His gaze was sinister, and a dark atmosphere surrounded him.

He inhaled deeply.

"I'm exhausted. What do you want?" he said.

Naomi scowled. What did Alfian say about being exhausted? Seriously!

"You think I'm not tired?" Noomi exploded.

She inhaled deeply and moved in their close distance between them.

"Have you ever noticed how exhausted I am of always caving in all these time?" Naomi asked with a small smile.

They've been married for a year, but their relationship hasn't developed at all.

Alfian questioned, "What do you want?"

A touch gentler this time than the first.

Naomi inhaled deeply.

"Are you in contact with Airin still?"

Alfian did not answer. He prefers to be silent and that means yes. Naomi groaned gently as she laughed to herself.

"If you don't respond, then you are saying yes," Naomi asserted.

"Naomi, can't we talk about that? Let me rest; it's becoming late. In any case, it's not important."

Naomi is taken aback. Did her husband merely believe that none of her inquiries were significant?

With her hands gripping the lace hem of her dress, Naomi snorted.

"You think this is a joke, don't you?" she asked, looking up. "So you also believe that what transpired on the show was a joke? Damn you! You kissed your ex-girlfriend in front of me, Alfian."

Naomi made a loud noise. Incredible thundering beats could be heard coming from her chest. Naomi clutched her stomach, which hurt again. The tears that were beginning to form in her eyes were causing her eyesight to become blurry.

"What are you talking about?" he Asked.

"Stop avoiding all the time. When the b*tch dragged you onto the stage, I could clearly see you!"

Alfian flashed a look. His expression grew icier. Her husband became irate. Even the fist that had been tightening was visible to Naomi.

"Naomi, you can't address Airin with such an ungentlemanly term," Alfian yelled in protest.

"Why? Do I have to call her a whore!"

"NAOMI!!"

"SILENCE!!"

Naomi made a gentle wince as she experienced simultaneous twisting, twisting, and compression of her tummy, really sick. Her eyesight started to fuzze. Up until Naomi felt her body crash, the ceiling of the home appeared to be higher. Darkness enveloped her as soon as she reached the floor.

As Naomi felt her muscles relax, she blinked her eyes. She started to fix her sight on the burning lightbulb and the room's white ceiling.

Naomi made a sideways turn. The same color is also used on the walls. At one point, Naomi realized she was lying in a hospital bed.

An IV tubing that was wrapped around her left hand and attached to the pole next to her was visible. The heavy blanket that covered her torso was the same.

Naomi closed her eyes as she pondered how she had come to be in this situation.

The door to his room flung open at the same moment, displaying Alfian's with a flat expression. He moved forward.

"You're awake, " he Asked.

He was taken to a chair next to Naomi's bed by Alfian.

Naomi attempted to sit up and lean back as she shakily nodded. Alfian gave Naomi an odd look as she turned to face him. Uncomfortably, Naomi furrowed her brows.

"There is wh-"

"You're pregnant."

It is a clear statement rather than a question.

Naomi froze in a moment. From beneath the heavy blanket, her hands instinctively pressed against her stomach.

'What, pregnant? Impossible. How is this even possible? Could that be the result of that night?

Degh...

Fear grips Naomi. Alfian was giving her a serious look as she turned to look at him.

Naomi took a deep breath.

"All... th-this."

"Why is that? You're eight weeks pregnant and I don't even think we've had sex."

An angry Alfian. His suspiciously narrowed eyes.

"Tell me who the father is?"

Naomi kept quiet. For a brief period, she couldn't speak. He could only avert his eyes and drop his head in shame. When Naomi has no idea who the man is, how can she identify him?

"You're having an affair behind my back?" Alfian is accused.

Naomi raised her head and looked around. How was that even possible?

"I-I don't know Al, I thought he was you then." Naomi has difficulty speaking.

For a little period, Afian was silent. Naomi tensed up. What does this mean? She will soon be divorced by Alfian. Naomi lost the ability to control her crying.

But what she got at that time was quite the opposite. Alfian accepts her pregnancy.

But what she got at that time was quite the opposite. Alfian accepts her pregnancy.

He also said that he would be the father of Naomi's child.

Naomi was too joyful at the time. The dismal times she had witnessed never occurred.

All the prior experiences could not compare to her satisfaction. Naomi believes that her family is doing well. Because after that, Alfian was gentle with her.

He spent more time checking the womb, buying the pregnant woman's milk, and accompanying her to exercise.

There was only one thing that Alfian didn't do, and that was to purchase baby gear and clothing despite previously knowing the baby's gender.

At that time, Naomi was not at all suspicious at the time and was unaware of it. But now she is aware of Alfian's motivation.

He agreed since he intended to adopt the child when it was born. Because no one will take someone else's fault for granted without concealing something else, Naomi's current explanation seems to make the most sense.

Then, Naomi ought to have understood that. Alfian feels unable to merely accept Naomi's unborn child.

Alfian is not her biological father. Moreover, Alfian has been caught having an affair twice. He didn't really love her.
