LIEGE
LODGED ... AGAIN

"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.

Happy Reading ❤

Ardian was now staring intently at Erina. But the one who was stared at behaved uncaringly. Erina deliberately focused on the food that was in front of her. The two men sat to the right and left of the hospital bed. None of them tried to talk. Both of them focused on paying attention to Erina.

"Already, On. I'm full already."

"What do you want to drink let me order from the pantry" asked Daffa gently.

"Gue has made him warm tea" Ardian said, bringing Erina warm tea.

"Yes Daf, I'm drinking hot tea." This time Daffa did not insist. He always looked at Erina with a friendly look. There was a deep longing in his eyes. Her hand never let go of Erina's. Even now he slowly stroked the back of Erina's hand. Ardian knew that. Again her heart ached even though Erina did not return Daffa's attention.

"Rin, why did it get in an accident?" ask Daffa after Erina finishes eating.

"I don't know exactly how it happened. After dinner last night, I fell asleep in Lexi's car. I woke up because my head hit the window of the car."

"What's? What did the doctor say? No one's got a bloody head, right?" ask Daffa worriedly.

Why was he so anxious, was it because he really loved Erina, Ardian's inner being.

"I'm okay. The doctor told me to stay overnight because I wanted to observe if there were any further symptoms. Because last night my stomach hurt. Maybe because of the seatbelt."

"What about your stomach now? What did the doctor say?"

"Already at USG, everything is fine. I'll just wait for the doctor to visit, and then I'll ask you to come home."

"You'd better stay cared for until you're fully recovered" Daffa said. Let me meet you more often, Inner Daffa.

"I don't like being in the hospital. After all, the accident we had was just a minor accident. Nothing serious's. Even last night Lexi was taken home by her husband."

Ardian did not speak. After Erina finished eating, she was busy tidying up the leftovers and drinking. Her heart felt happy to see Erina devour her. But at the same time dislike often arises when seeing Daffa's friendly attitude towards Erina. And unfortunately, Erina did not seem to refuse the treatment of Daffa.

"Rin, can I talk to you?"

"Please. You have also been talking to me since."

Daffa seemed to take a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Ardian noticed all that. His feelings went along, trying to guess what Daffa would say to Erina.

"I love you. Will you marry me?"

Both Ardian and Erina gasped at the question. The two look at each other. Ardian who had already cut off their gazes. Somehow there was a slight feeling of disappointment in Erina's heart when she saw Ardian's attitude. Was he jealous of another man who proposed to his wife? erina asked in her heart. Cih, say love but why silence when his wife is proposed by his ex-fiancee.

"Sorry Daf, I'm a pregnant other man kids" Erina replied. Daffa gasped at Erina's reply. Even though he already knew that but hearing it directly from Erina's mouth was enough to surprise him. "I don't deserve to be your wife."

Whats? That easy? erina thought she couldn't believe it. Does he really not care about that? Is it true that he won't bring up the status of my children? How could he possibly accept children who were not his flesh and blood.

"Are you now able to take off Honey and her child? Do you prefer me now?" Daffa was silent at Erina's question. Ardian who had just put an ear was also waiting for Daffa's answer.

"You can't answer my question right away. It means that if I marry you then I have to share you with them."

"Darling, our situation is the same. I must also share you with your children."

"That's a different Daffa thing. At least if we get married I won't make you share it with another man" Erina said flatly. "If I marry you, my heart and I are all yours."

Dueee!! Ardian's heart was slashed when he heard Erina's words. Does that mean Erina will accept Daffa's proposal? Ardian pretends to be busy checking emails on his phone even though his ears are constantly on alert monitoring Erina and Daffa's conversations. Since her gaze was only on the phone, Ardian had no idea Erina had turned her head several times towards him. Erina wanted to know how Ardian reacted. Now Erina's heart is slipping because Ardian looks unconcerned.

"Please Rin, marry me. I really love you. I can't live without you." Long Erina fell silent and did not answer Daffa's statement.

"You know me. I can't make other women sad because of what I did. I know how a woman who loves but is not loved returns. I know how painful it is because my man has another woman. My decision remains the same. I can't marry you." Unknowingly Ardian heaved a sigh of relief. That made Erina and Daffa turn to him.

"Are you happy Di?" ask Erina. "What makes you happy?"

"Oh this, the tender I filed escaped. Obviously I'm very happy with the decision" replied Ardian absurdly. Erina looked at Ardian sharply. Their views met shortly after, but Daffa again demanded Erina's attention.

"Rin, who's the man who impregnated you?" ask Daffa suddenly.

"Why are you asking that? It's all been happening. Now there are two creatures in my stomach. Although I hate those who have possessed me, I must accept them. They are part of me anyway."

"The man must be responsible."

"If you think about it, Honey and I aren't much different. We were raped and had children from the rape. If I may suggest, you should marry him. Just being materially responsible isn't enough, because Honey needs someone in her life to raise and nurture Chloe. What you are doing right now is not enough. Marry her, raise your children together."

"I don't love him."

"Open your heart and you must learn to love him. Even though we do not love each other, but the proof of love can be present even though love does not make us united. I'm sure Honey loves you, the father of her child. At least make Chloe an excuse to learn to love Honey."

Why is it easy for your mouth to say that to Daffa, but you can't do that to me, Rin? I love Elo and our children. Can't you love me too?

"Can elo love a man who has impregnated you?" ask Ardian suddenly. Erina looked at Ardian then shrugged her shoulders unconcernedly.

"Can you love the man who has impregnated you like you love those children?" This time Daffa asked. "You and Honey were both victims, and you think Honey loved me, the man who raped her. Then what about you?"

"Come on," Erina answered briefly. Again Ardian's heart mocked to hear it. "What I'm going to do now is learn to accept and love them."

"Is he the one who's been impregnating you?" asked Daffa suddenly while pointing at Ardian. Suddenly quiet room.
