Stuck In The Wrong Marriage

Happy reading…Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“I’m sorry, Hera… hiks.”

Anne sat beside Hera. Sobs. Bringing the weak body into her arms. Ara, who had also been crying for a long time, now sat cross-legged in front of Hera. She really felt very guilty.

“It’s all my fault, madam. I should have taken better care of Baby Juan. I’m really sorry even though I know sorry I can’t change anything… hiks.” Ara sobbed softly. Several times she wiped the tears that were pouring down from his eyes.

If she could, of course Hera would be furious at the two women like Jayden did earlier. But Hera couldn’t do it. Because Hera felt that she was wrong. As a mother, Hera was supposed to take care of Juan. Again, Ara and Anne are two women besides herself who also love Juan more than anything.

Without saying a word Hera brought Ara’s body to sit with her. Hugs to strengthen each other. The atmosphere of emotion enveloped the hospital corridor because of the three women.

Haidar, who was now sitting beside the three women, stared at Hera in awe. Her strong figure in dealing with all problems deserves thumbs up. She can also face it with a cool head instead of anger which of course only brings meaningless impact or even hatred.

As it is now. If it was someone else, they would definitely be angry with Ara because from any angle, what happened to Juan was due to her negligence. But Hera embraced the woman instead. He don’t know what Hera’s heart is made of so she can be that patient. Haidar thought.

“Mom, you’d better go home now. Poor dad alone,” said Hera when she felt calmer.

Anne thought for a moment. That’s right. Even though Andrew already had his own nurse, Anne was often still worried.

“Are you going to be all right?” asked Anne to confirm once more. She didn’t want to leave if there was still something wrong in her heart.

“Yes, Mom. I’m fine,” said Hera trying to smile to reassure her mother.

“I’ll be here too, Madam Anne. Accompany Madam Hera,” said Ara.

“I’ll be here too.” Haidar took part in the vote.

If it was like this, Anne would not worry anymore. “Okay. Then I’ll go home first. Let me know as soon as Juan wakes up.”

Hera nodded slowly in response. “Ara, you also go home. I need a change of clothes. Please,” she said to Ara.

“Yes, madam,” said Ara.

Anne and Ara said goodbye to leave Hera with Haidar. Hera turned to Haidar. Now they were alone in the corridor. With a white shirt whose sleeves had been folded haphazardly up to the elbows, the hair that was usually neatly arranged upwards had now fallen to cover his forehead. Haidar looks messy but for some reason it just adds to the sexy impression on him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” asked Haidar when he caught Hera staring at him.

“Shouldn’t you go home too?” Instead of answering Hera, she asked again.

“Then leave you alone?” Haider shook his head slowly. “No, Hera. I can ask Ridwan to come bring a change of clothes for me. You don’t have to worry,” he said with a smile.

Hera smiled and looked down at the blank white hospital floor.

“If I remember it this was like de javu … de javu that I don’t want to happen again,” said Hera with a breath that sounded so heavy. “Then my father … then now Juan. I don’t know who else will be.”

Hera felt a tightness in her chest. Her tears just came out. There was a certain trauma to the hospital atmosphere gnawing at her heart. It’s so tight.

Haidar grabbed Hera’s hand making the woman look at him. Haider shook his head slowly.

“There will be no more, Hera. This is the last time,” he assured Hera.

There is no longer a sense of awkwardness or embarrassment when the two strengthen each other through a warm embrace. If anyone saw it, they would think that Hera and Haidar were husband and wife. They look very compatible.

Haidar’s hug was like a panacea for Hera to calm her heart, especially at a time like this. The vanilla scent wafting from the man’s body made her not want to let go and instead tightened the hug.

Haidar? Do not ask. His happiness had now reached its highest peak. Who is not happy if the woman you love seems to give the green light if she starts to accept your presence?

Haidar hopes that this will be the first step in his relationship with Hera to a more serious level. No longer just friends or business associates.

The gaze of the woman in the black dress that perfectly wrapped her body seemed so empty. Staring ahead where the rows of wedding dresses hung neatly.

Elena was supposed to be with Jayden today. Choosing a wedding dress, again. But the man could not accompany him on the pretext that there was work in the Eligra area. The man must attend the auction of a property.

Was the event more important than their wedding? Who knows. The more Elena thought about it the more she wanted to be angry. The woman plans to leave. What’s she still there for anyway? Choosing a dress alone? It wouldn’t be fun.

“I shouldn’t have come in the first place,” Elena grumbled getting up from her seat. Simultaneously a middle-aged woman passed through the entrance of the boutique.

That’s Jane, Jayden’s mother. Elena’s legs felt heavy as they exchanged glances. This is the first time they meet after Elena and Jayden’s wedding plans. Elena was wondering herself, did Jane already know about her wedding plans with Jayden? It was impossible that she didn’t know yet, but Jayden’s never telling Elena made him feel a little doubtful.

“Elena Darwis?” asked Jane after standing right in front of Elena. If you think about it funny too. Elena will soon become Jane’s daughter-in-law but they are only getting to know each other now.

“Y-yes.” Elena stammered as she answered Jane’s question.

The middle-aged woman smiled and stroked Elena’s arm. “No need to be nervous. I’m here at the request of Jayden, my son.”

“Jayden?”

“Yes. Aren’t you guys getting married soon?”

Oh it turns out the woman already knows. Thankfully, Elena was happy to hear that.

With a shy smile Elena replied, “Yes.”

“Ah, you guys are so mean to tell this old women now,” said Jane in a tone of artificial exasperation.

“Really? Jayden just told you?” asked Elena in surprise. Panic too.

“Yeah, the son just told me because he said he wanted to surprise the family,” said Jane with a small chuckle.

Elena didn’t know how to react making her just smile awkwardly. Jane watched Elena carefully. No one could guess what was going on in her mind.

“You’ve looked prettier since the last time we met,” said Jane. Elena was flattered by Mother’s compliment from her lover. But there was something else that made Elena feel uncomfortable. Indirectly the woman is bringing up the past. Where they first met at the party. The party wasn’t too fun because at that time Jayden’s status was still Hera’s husband and Elena was a hidden affair. Oh shit! Remembering it annoyed Elena herself.

“Thank you,” said Elena a little disinterestedly.

“Elena, may I ask you something?” she asked then.

Look? Turns out Elena was right, Jane couldn’t possibly bring up the incident without a reason.

“Sure. What do you want to ask about?” Elena tried to be as calm as possible.

“Back then … did you really have a relationship with Jayden?”
