Chapter 147 - Feel Comfortable
Siska sighed, then drank the strawberry juice that Kareen had ordered for her little by little and then asked, "Honestly, what is your purpose in asking me to meet here? I don't have much time because I have to meet someone."
"I missed the mark," Kareen said annoyed.
"What do you mean?" Siska asked with furrowed brows.
"It wasn't Bryana who fell down the stairs, it was the damn babysitter!" Kareen replied with annoyance, her breath seemed to be racing because she was too fed up with the failures that kept hitting her. "Just so you know, I spent almost a hundred million rupiahs to buy the poison, then paid the messengers to terrorize me, but to no avail!"
Siska chuckled at Kareen who was too ambitious to take Dean from Bryana. "I told you, your efforts are useless because what you are facing is Bryana. Who doesn't know Bryana? rich woman with almost perfect beauty, white face with a friendly and firm demeanor, of course, Dean will still choose her over you who are ordinary girls and ... And you are not a virgin girl."
Brakk...!!
Kareen suddenly got up from the chair and pounded the table until the juice in the glass splattered on the table. She looked at Siska with a sharp gaze with her breath caught due to her fiery emotions.
"What do you mean by saying that? Do you want to become my enemy by boasting of my rival? Don't you remember that I gave you a lot of money?"
"Kareen, sit down!" said Siska curtly. "Do you want everyone to pay attention to us and know how sneaky you are?"
Kareen was silent and glanced at the surroundings and saw that there were several pairs of eyes watching her. She sat back down with an annoyed look at Siska.
"I just want you to realize that what you're doing is just for nothing. now, you better focus on a man who loves you, because Dean will only be your imagination. He will never be yours!" Siska confirmed. although she is materialistic, she doesn't want to see Kareen trapped in a love that will only make her destroy her own life.
Kareen squinted at Siska. "It's so easy for you to say that after suggesting I'm to harm Bryana!"
"I'm just suggesting and it's up to you whether you want to do it or not. But you failed because you are not very good at being a bad woman! Now, you have to make sure no one finds out about your crimes. And if you are safe, just accept Raymond. As far as I know, he is a handsome and rich man, you can live comfortably with him and you can love him!" Siska reaffirmed, then stood up and carried her small red branded bag.
Kareen also stood looking at Siska in surprise. "Siska, where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet!"
"I have to go," said Siska curtly at Kareen. "If you want to live safely and in abundance, forget Dean and choose a man who loves you, Raymond or Carlos, but I heard that Carlos is in prison. You better be with Raymond, at least you can still be close to Dean."
Kareen was silent digesting Siska's advice until she sat back down and let Siska go. 'I'm safe, I'm safe because no one knows that I spilled the oil on the stairs. I have to accept Raymond for a while until one day I'll take Dean back from Bryana!' her mind was still filled with her obsessions and cunning plans.
___
At night, Dean invites Bryana to go home and rest because she has accompanied Lauren in the hospital since morning. he was still silent about Dany saying that Kareen was the perpetrator of the oil spill on the stairs, and chose to wait for Raymond's arrival, waiting for what he was planning and what evidence Dany and her brother-in-law had prepared.
at this time, Bryana was lying in bed because she was tired. She lay slightly on her side while hugging a bolster facing the window which was still open revealing the dim atmosphere outside.
'Who? Who in this house wants to harm me? Why is there an enemy in the blanket?' She wandered until she remembered that Kareen was the one who wanted Dean, wanted to take Dean away from her. 'Could it be her? If it was her, Raymond shouldn't have chosen him and realized his cunning. I don't want to have a sister-in-law like her!'
While daydreaming, Bryana was suddenly surprised by the arrival of Dean who immediately climbed onto the bed and hugged her from behind.
"Why haven't you slept yet, Hem?" Dean asked, kissing the nape of Bryana's neck.
"It's okay," Bryana replied then turned to look at Dean. "Are the kids asleep?"
"Yes, they slept with mommy," Dean replied. "Do we need a babysitter to replace Lauren until she recovers? Because she's going to be on leave for a while because after she recovers, she'll marry Louis."
"No need. I'll take care of them by myself because that's my duty as a mother," Bryana exclaimed as she fiddled with her fingers on Dean's thin gray t-shirt, then turned to touch his lips.
"Don't be like that, remember that you are pregnant and your womb is getting bigger. I don't want you to get tired," Dean replied with a serious stare intensely at Bryana.
"But I don't trust anyone easily. I don't want to find someone to replace Lauren, because that would only make Lauren feel like I don't want her to work as a babysitter anymore." Bryana sighed and rested her head on Dean's chest.
"Poor Lauren, she became a victim of someone who wanted to harm me. She was devastated by the loss of a fetus in her womb, even I was in that position. It was very sad."
dean put his arm around Bryana and stroked her hair gently. "I also feel sorry for her, but we can't do anything because maybe this is God's will. After she married Louis, hopefully, she can get pregnant again soon and nothing like this happens again."
Bryana looked up at Dean. "Do you have a candidate for you to suspect as the perpetrator of the oil spill on the stairs?"
"I don't know, I was thinking about that too," Dean said with a shrug.
Bryana was silent again and buried her face into Dean's chest, feeling comfortable in his arms."If you don't want a new babysitter, I'll ask mom to stay here to help you take care of the kids," Dean said after thinking that his mother was always lonely at home alone too.
"Yeah, I think it's a good idea, even I like having mom here. After all, taking care of kids is not difficult, they will slowly become independent because they will have a younger sibling because they are also reasonable," said Bryana with a relieved smile.
"Yes, you are right. They are very excited about the birth of the baby." Dean smiled and touched Bryana's slightly distended belly. "I haven't touched it since. Will it move after I touch?"
"We'll see," said Bryana with an amused smile.
dean was silently focused with his palm touching the surface of Bryana's belly until he put a smile on his lips when he felt a small twitch from inside her belly.
"It's moving," Dean muttered exasperatedly.
Bryana chuckled in amusement and looked up to kiss Dean's lips passionately. "It always likes your touch."
"Just like you."
"Ah, that's another touch." Bryana smiled shyly.
"But I'm not going to do that tonight, because I know my wife is exhausted from my attack last night." dean pinched Bryana's nose, then kissed her lips gently for a few seconds. "I feel I fall in love with you every day."
"Me too. You're a sweet husband."
"And you are a wild, caring wife and the perfect mother to our kids."
Bryana hugged Dean again, buried her face into her husband's chest with comfort even though she was feeling restless.. Yes, a warm hug from a beloved husband always makes someone who is restless turn into comfort.
