A Broken Heart
Middle Way

Revan and his family are now in the car. The car is traveling at medium speed. During the trip no one starts a conversation. A quiet atmosphere filled their journey home. Hana fell silent, daydreaming about every word her ex-husband had said. Revan understands what makes his wife silent.

Before leaving earlier, Hana plans to all buy kitchen needs and also the needs of her children who are almost exhausted. But because of the incident at the restaurant, he made him undo his intention to shop. The mood was gone with what had just happened.

The voices of their children were no longer heard. Due to exhaustion, finally all his children have now fallen asleep soundly in the back seat.

30 Minutes drive, finally Revan's vehicle entered his yard. Revan opened his seat belt and opened the back door to lift his children into the house. Hana immediately lifted Jihan into her carriage and led her straight to the room.

He put his daughter slowly on the bed. Hana also laid her body beside her son and took the girl into his arms. Hana closed her eyes while tightly hugging her daughter. He was not willing until his son was taken away from him.

Hana stretched her arms and straightened her son's hair backwards. He kissed his son's forehead affectionately.

"Juhan is just a child, Mother!" Mumbled wailing. He said it many times while fondling his son.

A feeling of unwillingness now reached his heart. How not, after many years lost without news like in the swallow of the earth, now with ease the figure of a biological father comes to take his son.

Not that Hana is selfish or thinks more about herself, but if there is a mother figure who experiences the same thing that she feels, surely the mother will also do the same. Have the feeling of not being willing to be separated with the baby.

Many times Hana kissed her son and fondly caressed him. Without Hana noticing, Revan had already noticed her from behind the door.

"Darling!" Revan said softly as he touched his wife's shoulder.

Hannah who heard her husband's call woke up from her sleep. After enveloping his son and turning off the room lights, they went out of there.

Now Hana and Revan have laid their bodies on the bed. Hana leaned her head against the chest of her husband's field. Again Hana again thought about the request from her ex-husband earlier.

Revan, who realizes his wife is not asleep, begins the conversation.

"Think about that?" Ask her in a soft voice.

Hana replied with a nod of her head in the arms of her husband, "Hana is afraid, mas..." Answer in a soft tone.

"Fear why else, baby?"

Hana sounded out a breath

"Hana was afraid not to let Jihan be taken away with her father, mas! Hana can't be far from Jihan! Hana won't be willing to see Jihan..." Hana had not yet finished her words had been cut by her husband.

"Sst... Jihan won't be taken away from you, baby. You're his mother, Arlan will definitely not take Jihan away from you."

"But, mas, you're gonna hear Arlan himself say what. He's gonna take Jihan from me, man. I wouldn't be willing until that happens!"

Revan turned his position towards his wife. On his trunk gently backs his wife, "Are you sorry, Arlan?"

Hana was silent for a moment after hearing her husband's question. "From the beginning I'm sorry about him, ma'am. But every time he remembers what he used to do to me and especially to his son, it feels like. Remembering first he firmly left his son without giving a living in the slightest. And now he's coming and he wants to take the kid he used to leave."

"You know how I fought to raise my son!" Hana's voice sounded heavy and now the corner of her eyes had been bathed with a clear grain.

"I know, baby! I-i know. No, don't be sad anymore. Jihan won't be taken away as far as her father." He tried to calm his wife.

"I know how you feel. I totally get it. But, give Arlan a chance to atone for all the sins he once committed by giving his child affection, dear."

Hana instantly loosened her embrace hearing her husband's words. She looked her head up at her husband's eyeball.

"So I mean Revan, give Arlan a chance by giving Jihan to him, right?" I asked with a frown. She was not willing to hear her husband's words.

"You're the same with me, mom!" Hana let go of her embrace and intended to change her position to her husband.

However, Revan swiftly held his wife's hand to stay in her position.

"It's not so, baby! Hear me! I just want the best for everything. Give Arlan a chance to make up for wasted time by giving Jihan affection. Honestly, maybe this is karma for what he used to do. But, I could see deep guilt and regret as I looked into her eyes, dear. I could see through his eyes the guilt. Poor him. Give him a chance."

"I'm afraid not to let Jihan run away with her, mas."

"I'm sure Arlan wouldn't do that, baby. Or put it this way.we find the middle way!"

"What's that?"

"Let's just say we give Arlan permission to take Jihan every weekend. Every Monday to Friday, Jihan is here and every Saturday and Sunday, Jihan can go with her father. How about the same proposal me, baby?"

Silent for a moment. Hana tried to digest her husband's words earlier and tried to weigh up her husband's proposal.

After long enough to weigh her husband's words, Hana slowly nodded her head in response to her husband's proposal.

Come to think of it, it was true what her husband had just said. Hana can also see a deep sense of regret in her ex-husband. But because of a big ego, makes Hana get rid of all compassion for her ex-husband.

After talking to her husband earlier, slowly the once great ego slowly eroded after digesting and weighing her husband's words. Maybe she should try to be sincere and give her ex-husband a chance. However, Jihan is still the flesh and blood of her ex-husband. However, Hana tries to limit the meeting of children with her father, still, her son will still find his biological father.

Now she has to act legowo and give her ex-husband a chance. However, blood is still thicker than water.

Hopefully in this way, the ex-husband can take lessons from what he used to have done and no longer repeat the same mistakes, he hoped.
