LIEGE
HEARTACHE

Erina opened her eyes. He looked around him. Where'sisthis? It took me a while to realize he was in the hospital. The clock on the wall shows 5 o'clock. Ah, it's morning apparently. Erina looked beside him. Ardian fell asleep while sitting in a chair. His hands were made into pillows. Erina looked at Ardian. Various feelings raged on his chest.

Di, why is our relationship like this? Why elo forced this marriage when elo know I do not love elo. If nothing had happened, our relationship would still be fine. I need Elo as my old friend, inner Erina. Slowly his hand was raised wanting to stroke Ardian's head but he paled when he saw Ardian's head move while groaning. Must have been achy body because all night sleep like that.

"Hmmmm... Are you awake?" ardian asked after he wriggled moving his stiff muscles.

"It."

"How are you doing this morning? Is her stomach still hurting? His head is dizzy? You want a drink? Or going to the bathroom?" ask Ardian gently.

"I'm fine," Erina answered briefly. "Gue just wants to go to the bathroom. It's 5." It's 5."

"I'm a carry?"

"Gue can still walk on his own. That's my headache, not my leg." But Erina refused as Ardian reached out to help her get out of bed. "Thanks." -."

Soon both of them had finished their morning prayers. Erina this time chose not to protest as Ardian lifted her body onto the hospital bed.

"When can I go home?"

"Wait for the doctor visit. If until the doctor visits later there are no complaints, maybe you can go home," replied Ardian while tidying up a blanket to cover Erina's body.

"Hungry" said Erina slowly.

"What's that?" asked Ardian while bringing his face closer.

"Neither near?" Erina asked back suspiciously.

"I just want to ask you what you said."

"I'm hungry." Ardian held a smile hearing Erina's words.

"What do you and the kids want to eat?"

"Sok attention."

"I'm not an attention-grabber but I'm really considerate. You are my wife, who is in your womb are my children. It's my duty to pay attention to you guys" Ardian gently stroked Erina's head. No matter which angel was near Erina, that morning she was not angry even though she was still pouting.

"Gruby." Ardian did not reply to Erina. Her heart was too happy because Erina did not dodge when she stroked her head.

"You want some manado porridge made by mama Amel? Or mommy's risotto?" ask Ardian again.

"Hospital chicken slurry," Erina replied.

"Where do you know there's a chicken porridge in front of this hospital?" ask Ardian wonder.

"This is where Daffa used to be treated." Ardian noticed the name of his hospital and only then did he realize that. Ardian's face immediately darkened when he noticed it.

"Later when the doctor visits, we ask for a letter to be treated at another hospital."

"Why?"

"Because this is a hospital belonging to the Daffa family. Aren't you worried about meeting that man or his family?"

"Why should I worry? I didn't make a mistake. I just broke off our engagement. Daffa has accepted that too."

I don't want him to take you away from me, Inner Ardian. Especially if he takes my kids. Frankly, Ardian still has concerns about Erina re-electing with Daffa. Although they are currently tied up in marriage, it does not mean that his relationship with Erina is fine.

"Ooh .... Rin, I'll buy chicken porridge first." Ardian chose to avoid Erina this morning so his wife wouldn't know her feelings.

"The sheep are many. Do not forget, do not use celery and fried onions. Oh yes, the crackers also ask for a lot of yes," cried Erina. Ardian just nodded.

Daffa : 'How are you? Last night we got home safely, right? Please let me know when we can meet. I have something to ask.'

Erina just read the message. He remembered last night meeting Daffa by accident at the club. The meeting ended with a threesome dinner at the Sunda restaurant. During the dinner he did not talk much with Daffa. He answered only a brief question from Daffa. He knew Daffa was surprised to see his two-bodied self, but the man asked nothing. Time and again the man tried to lead the conversation towards the breakup of their engagement, but with a shrewd Alexia managed to shift to another topic. After returning home, Erina remembered nothing but her head hurt from hitting the car window.

Log in again message notification. It must be Daffa again, Erina thought. He looked at the message number. Although he has not saved the number, he knows it is the same as the sender of the previous message.

Daffa: Rin, did you have an accident last night? How's your condition? Your stomach is okay, right?

Why is she still worried about me when she finds out I'm pregnant with another boy. Finally Erina's fingers typed in to reply to a message from Daffa.

Erina: I'm fine.

Daffa : I am arriving soon. It was Arini's deck that informed me that last night you were on the IGD.

Arini Deck? Who'sis that? Erina forgot that she had met the doctor Arini. The young Doker took blood while Daffa was being treated at the hospital. Whoa, what is Daffa here? What if they meet here? What's gonna happen? During this time Erina tried to avoid the conversation regarding their triangle relationship.

Just as Erina put down her phone, Ardian entered with Daffa. What's?! Daffa has arrived here? Gawat, why are they together?

"Rin, are you okay?" Daffa immediately approached Erina's bed and grabbed the girl's hand and kissed her. Next to her hand stroked Erina's head.

Ardian who saw it was silent. He was busy preparing breakfast for Erina. Then he made a warm tea for himself and Erina. Unlike Erina who looked confused, did not know what to behave like when Daffa was friendly to her. It was Ardian who looked cute. Did he see what Daffa had just done? Why doesn't he seem to care? Various questions came to Erina's mind.

"I'm okay."

"Rin, breakfast first." Ardian placed the porridge he had just bought in front of Erina. "As per request."

"Lho, you're sick, baby. Has the hospital not sent breakfast yet? Is the food here not to your taste? Do I need to order to the kitchen section a special meal for you? What do you want, chicken porridge, green bean porridge, marrow porridge, steak, or something else? You said you would, they'd provide it."

"No, I'm going to eat this chicken porridge again" Erina cut quickly.

His style of speaking with Daffa was more formal than when he was with me, Ardian said. He was trying to endure the pain he was feeling right now. Ah, I forgot. I was just his best friend, who happened to be the husband and father of his children. Someone Erina doesn't love. Someone who has ruined the life of his own best friend.

"Want me a bribe?" ask Daffa gently. Ardian stared intently at Daffa's hand, who did not seem to want to take Erina's hand off.

"Not to be bribed. His bent head, hands and feet he's fine, "cut Ardian in a sniffy tone. "Yes, right?"

"Eh, yes. My hands are fine. Let me eat alone, Daf." Why can your tone be so soft on him, whispered Ardian's heart does not like.

"No papa. Here I'm a bribe. When I was sick, you were busy taking care of me. Now let me take care of you."

"No need. There I will take care of Erin" said Ardian while taking a spoon from Daffa's hand.

"In, I can eat by myself," hissed Erina annoyed.

"I'll take care of you. Not someone else," said Ardian softly but still sound firm so that makes Erina reluctant to argue against it.

"Who is Elo so feel entitled to take care of Erina? I know you're his best friend, but I'm Erina's husband-to-be" Daffa said.

"Former prospective husbands more precisely" said Ardian justifies with a cynical tone.

"Gue will fight for Erin's love and trust again," Daffa replied in a confident tone. "Gue saranin, as Erina's best friend should elo support her happiness."

"Elo needs to know one thing. I'm this su....."

"You want to keep arguing? I want to eat, Di. Oh yes Daf, I can eat by myself. Thanks anyway," cut Erina off before Ardian finished his speech.
