ALITA'S SECRET
Chapter 50

The sound of a loud baby cry from the delivery room makes Arkan's heart beat fast.

"That's my son's voice, Pa!" Arkan.

The man who was with him smiled happily.

"Finally Papa has a grandson."

Since the incident Ajeng storm about Riga, Galang was caught off guard and chose to take care of his biological children again.

Arkan hugs with Galang, full of hariu.

The maternity room door opened, the doctor exited the room opened the mask.

Arkan immediately hunted him with Galang.

"How's Doc?"

"Thank God the baby was born sir. Baby girl. Very healthy, his cry was loud once a sign of a healthy heartbeat.

"Alhamdulillah!" Arkan and Galang gave thanks together.

"What is my wife, Doc?"

"Mrs Alita is stable and will be transferred to the ward."

Arkan can't wait to see his son.

Alita smiles and sees a beautiful baby in Arkan's arms.

"It's so pretty, baby."

"Beautiful as you are, baby." Arkan kissed Alita's forehead full of affection.

"I didn't know I was a mother now." Alita's tears were shed again.

"Darling, look at Mama until you cry as soon as you get out of Mama's stomach" Arkan told the baby.

"I want to give you our baby name, Athena." Alita made Arkan look up.

"You sure?"

Alita nodded. "I had a dream last night for Athena. He asked me to tell you, to fulfill his request."

Arkan smiled slightly.

"What did he ask of you?"

Arkan did not answer and smiled at the baby. "Wait for you to be healthy. I'll tell you later."

"Dear, I want to go home. Box baby Athena has been moved to our room, right? Let me not go back to his room to nyuin him."

"I'm still not?" Arkan's nosy ask made Alita glare.

"Papa is naughty."

Arkan laughed warmly and kissed his forehead then Alita's pale lips.

"Thank you dear, for your struggle. I promise to take care of you both with all my might. I won't let you suffer."

Alita smiled back. "Yes, I trust my husband. Saranghae.."

"Saranghae my husband. I love you. That means in Korean."

Arkan laughed amusedly, as a result of during pregnancy his wife really hobby watching Korean dramas.

"Saranghae is also my wife.. I love you, my heretic, never a secret again."

"Yes dear."

Athena cries, making Alita and Arkan see her daughter together.

"Yes Papa is also saronghae with Papa's daughter."

They laughed happily enjoying the presence of their baby.

***

In an empty land behind an unused building.

The clumps cover the ground.

There Alita wept staring at the gravestone of the carved wooden name Athena, her conjoined twin sister.

"Athena, I really didn't expect anything to happen in my life. It turned out that there was some interference from me. Thank you for taking care of me all this time. And that,.." Alita looks at Arkan holding a two-month-old baby Athena. "My baby and Arkan's name is Athena. You will always be in our hearts."

Arkan crouched down and rubbed the gravestone. "You're calm there now. I will take care of them until the end of my life. Your time keeping them is over. And I'm fulfilling your request to take Alita and our daughter to your grave."

Arkan searched for a long time where Athena was buried. Because the orphanage where Alita and Athena lived was long closed.

After working hard to fulfill Athena's request, just when baby Athena was two months old, they found out that Athena's tomb was in the land behind the former school. The funeral was not arranged.

"Darling, it's a relief now, isn't it? You can see Athena's tomb." Arkan led his wife to his feet.

Alita nodded and wiped away the rest of her tears. "Please Athena, I won't cry anymore. I'll be stronger. Because you are present in my daughter. He's my power source. I'll take care of him and take care of him lovingly. Don't worry about me anymore."

"Darling, we go home yuk. The wind was also tight in the afternoon. Not good for baby Athena." Arkan said close the baby blanket.

"Athena, we say goodbye first. I love you, brother.."

They left behind a cemetery full of grass.

Suddenly Arkan's eyes caught a shadow from a distance. He blinked in disbelief, seeing Athena wearing a white shirt and wearing red lipstick.

Athena smiles to see baby Athena falling asleep in Alita's arms and getting in the car.

Arkan smiled back. Goodbye Athena, I will not forget you. Thank you for being present in my life brings my feelings to Alita, she said in her heart.

Athena nodded and turned away, slowly disappearing like mist.

"Darling, let's go. Baby Athena is fussy." Alita.

"Yes dear.."

They left feeling relieved and happy.

The secret that has been haunting Alita is revealed to its roots.

Alita and Arkan are always with baby Athena.
