Hate You, Love You
Conscious

Amara observed the drops by drops of infusion liquid that entered her body. This is not the first time he has been admitted to the hospital. Already entering the fourth month of her pregnancy but Amara is still experiencing a period of cravings like never before. Though the second pregnancy Amara lived with great caution.

"I'm sorry Mama, dear..," said Amara as she stroked a small mound in her stomach. Like the older brother, Evan, the prospective sister conceived by Amara also survives firmly in the womb. It's just that Amara is weak. His appetite never improved because of the nausea that continues to afflict him.

But among all that, what makes Amara worse is her longing for Gio and Evan. Amara often wakes up and cries alone in the middle of the night. Just because I remember both. Even a photo of Gio and Evan, Amara kept it next to her bed.

Amara had warned, even he also begged Danis and Karina not to contact Gio because Amara did not want to ruin the engagement plan of Gio and his cousin.

Amara always thought that if what she felt right now, the passionate love for Gio was karma that she had to accept. In the past, Amara had treated Gio and Evan badly.

"When do you want to be like this ? I think Gio should have the right to know your situation. Maybe this is the way for you to stay together" Karina said, rubbing Amara's head gently. He said that because until this moment Amara had not also got the word divorce from Gio.

But once again Amara shook her head. Refusing the idea given by Karina. "Enough you are by my side, I will be fine" said Amara weakly.

Amara completely hid her circumstances. Even to her own parents. Amara will pretend to be cheerful if anyone from her family invites Amara to make a Video call. Trying to look okay. Even if what happens is the opposite. And her body does not change because her pregnancy makes Amara family unsuspecting.

"alright... Tell me if you change your mind" Karina said. He knew Amara was so fragile that Karina dared not press or force him.

"You want something ?" Ask Karina again.

Amara shook her head slowly. There's nothing he wants right now. Because whatever Amara wants, it will never be the same as what Gio gave or did. Even the ice cream that Amara likes changes, if it's not Gio who buys it.

"I want to sleep..," said Amara slowly. Just by sleeping, Amara could forget about Gio and Evan even if it was only for a moment.

"All right...,"

"Karina... Thank you very much.," said Amara while holding Karina's arm. Make the girl stand up.

"Everything... Let's get healthy... I will go home for a while, and Danis will accompany you here" Karina said, holding Amara's hand that touched her arm. As much as possible Danis and Karina took turns to accompany Amara in the hospital.

"Enter the hospital ?" Gio asked while pounding the table, making the interlocutor jump up his body because he was too surprised.

"What pain ?" Gio asked, anxiousness still visible from his stiffened face. Gio's jaw was firm and both of his hands were clenched firmly.

"Hospital authorities cannot carelessly provide information about their patients."

"Did the man accompany her ?" Ask Gio.

"Mmh... Several times my members saw the man go inside the hospital and come out about an hour or two later."

Gio managed his breathing with great difficulty. Jealous worry rumbled in his chest. Gio desperately refrained from venting his emotions.

"Watch on ! And if there's something really important, you yourself should come and explain everything to me!"

"Good, Sir. If so I resign," said the man whose age is not much older than Gio. He stood up and slightly bowed his body as a sign of respect. Then it passed away after Gio nodded his head in response.

The man smiled and nodded respectfully at Dea who had just entered Gio's room. The two passed each other as Gio's guest was about to go outside.

Dea returned her smile thinly. He wondered in his heart. Who is he, because the last few months Dea has often seen him come to see Gio. But, Dea knew that the man was not a client of Gio's business.

"I'm sorry to bother you, I just wanted to give you this file" Dea said as she placed a few piles of maps on Gio's desk. Dea felt bad because she had been warned by Gio not to go into his room if he was receiving guests, especially the stranger.

"Its ok," said Gio understood, he smiled faintly at Dea and immediately checked the file Dea brought.

"Gio's... Did you forget ?" Dea asked timidly.

Gio who was focusing on the beam turned his head, looking at Dea with a frown.

"Today we have a lunch appointment with your Mama. He will arrive in a few minutes" Dea explained.

Gio took a deep breath. Too much burden of thought makes him forget. "Oh yeah, sorry I forgot. Let's go." Gio stood up while buttoning his suit. He walked first, leaving Dea staring at his wide back.

Dea who saw that smiled faintly. He was happy because Gio wanted to come to lunch. Usually the man had a thousand and one reasons to reject it.

***

This is where the three are, in a luxury restaurant located in the center of Jakarta. Gio sat alone, while Dea and her mother sat next to Gio.

Gio did not say much, he focused on the food that felt bland. Not because it tastes bad, just that Amara's sick news makes Gio lose his appetite.

"Gio's... It's been a long time since Amara left... Aren't you planning on getting engaged soon?"

"Mother !" lirih Dea while glancing at Gio timidly. Gio's mood would turn bad if he discussed that one.

"It's natural to ask, Dea. It has been 4 months or maybe even more since Amara's departure. Evan's getting bigger, he needs affection"

"Evan doesn't lack anything, he grows happily," Gio cut off with his eyes turning cold.

"Yes, Mama knows ! You mean, Evan needs complete affection from father and mother."

"Ta-but I can't get engaged ji-if Gio is still tied up in a marriage. I don't want to be the third person" Dea said.

"When are you taking care of your divorce, Gio ? How long have you hanged Amara's status? Pity him too, all the way to Boston but can't be united with his lover because of you."

Gio stopped eating, and looked flat at his mother. "Gio was really busy in the office. Don't have time to deal with it all," said Gio lied. What actually happened, Gio's heart was still unwilling to release Amara.

"You can ask a lawyer for"

"No ! About Amara, Gio will take care of himself, "cut Gio. Talks like this made Gio even more tormented. Because every time I talk about Amara, Gio's heart misses him.

"we'd better have lunch. Isn't that what we're meeting for now?" continued Gio who no longer wants to talk about his divorce with Amara.

Dea who saw that could only sigh deeply. The more days Dea becomes aware if there is not a single crack for her to enter into Gio's heart.
