56.Kesya Offers
"Are you sure you don't love him?" ask Kesya by looking at Manda's face. Currently Andika is going to the treatment room, accompanying Baby Cakra who is starting to uncomfortable linger outdoors. Andika took Amanda there too.
"Dad, Dede Cakra is so handsome," the little girl looked enthusiastically at the tiny, handsome baby.
"Yes, Dede Cakra is handsome, Amanda's sister is also beautiful. Here, daddy carry brother!" Andika then lifted Amanda's body in her arms. Andika's heart felt bitter instantly. In a matter of days, she'll be parting ways with Amanda. The new little princess she knew of her existence.
At the door, Kesya and Manda continue to pay attention to the interaction between Andika and Amanda. Kesya's heart felt sad to see both. Especially when Andika cries while hugging and kissing the little girl.
"Think of my offer, we wait for tomorrow, because our plane flies at 13:00" Kesya said as she looked gently at Manda.
"All right, I'm saying goodbye. I'll come here if I change my mind. Otherwise, you can go." Manda then entered the room. Calling Manda who is engrossed in playing with Andika and her sister, baby Cakra.
"Dear Amanda, let's go home! Poor Dede Bayinua wants a break!" Manda then grabbed her tiny fingers, then said goodbye to Andika and Kesya.
"Dad, Amanda's coming home, tomorrow Amanda's here again, and Amanda's deduction!" Amanda kisses Andika's cheeks and Cakra, an innocent, sinless face that becomes a victim of adult selfishness.
"Be careful, dear, sorry, I haven't had time to accompany you for a walk, Dede Cakra is still sick, I can't stay!" Andika hugs and kisses Amanda for the last time. His chest felt tight and tears without permission continued to break.
"We're saying goodbye!" Amanda and Manda then leave the room and go back to her apartment.
There, Manda continued to think about her conversation with Kesya. His heart is beginning to worry now. In her eyes her beautiful daughter.
"Darling, do you love Dede Cakra?" ask Manda. Amanda nodded, then she approached Manda.
"Say dad, Amanda still has another sister, her name is Adrian Abimana. She's Cakra's sister. He's so handsome, Mah! Look, Mah!" then the little girl took her cell phone, showing a portrait of Abimana's extended family.
Manda's heart aches, she loves Andika too, but Andika does not remember her at all. Let alone being able to join together with Andika. Something very impossible.
Manda recalled her conversation with Kesya earlier this afternoon.
"Are you sure you don't love him?"
"I love him, but he doesn't remember me at all. To him, I was just an insignificant dust grain" Manda said sadly.
"Do you want to marry my husband?" ask Kesya again. Manda was in a dilemma, not knowing what to say. If he said no, he would be a hypocrite. Who can resist the charm of an Andika Abimana? That man has been his dream for a long time. Even the reason she worked at the company was because of Andika. Manda accidentally crosses paths with Andika when she meets her best friend who works there. So he also applied for work at the company that Andika led. Luck sided with Manda, so she was placed as her secretary Andika who needed a secretary. Andika had just come from Dubai at that time and was still unfamiliar with the state of the company.
"If I adopt Amanda and take care of her like my own, what do you think?" asked Kesya again, Manda looked surprised. Can't believe it came out of Kesya's mouth. Abimana's extended family had indeed proposed this, but Manda rejected it outright.
"Can you love the child of your husband, who was born of another woman?" ask Manda doubtfully.
"Amanda is innocent, I can't hate her, after all, you guys had Manda before I married Mas Dika. Dika never loved you either. I just can't bear to separate a father from his son." replied Kesya diplomatically. Looking straight at Manda.
"You're right, Mr. Dika doesn't even remember who I am. Even if I wanted to marry her, I'm sure your husband would refuse!" manda said as she stared at her daughter's interaction with her former boss.
Moments later Manda's heart was feeling painful. Amanda was always sad because she always made fun of her friends at school, because she was fatherless. Amanda is a woman, she needs her father when she gets married. Manda kept thinking. What should he do.
"Think, if Amanda is with us, she will get all the same facilities as Adrian and Cakra, my son with Mas Dika. You can marry the one you love. I think, what I offer is a win win solution for all of us" said Kesya while holding Manda's hand.
"Are you sure you can love my daughter?" manda asked again, tears were no longer able to hold her. His heart ached at the thought of parting with his daughter.
"You don't have to worry, whatever my in-laws have given you, won't be withdrawn, even if you leave Amanda in our care. The car, the apartment and the 2 M education savings will all be yours. All you have to do is one. Let go and forget Amanda as your daughter. Once Amanda enters the Abimana family, then she will be taught to be a true Abimana. I won't let outsiders say that Amanda is the illegitimate child of my husband!" kesya said firmly and confidently. As soon as Manda merining, did not expect to be able to meet a woman as hard-hearted as Kesya.
"Now I understand. Why did Mr. Dika and Abimana's extended family choose you as Madame Abimana. You are an amazing woman!" praise Manda with a bitter smile on her face.
"You know, for me to get to this point, it's not easy. I won't let my family's happiness be ruined by a past that doesn't matter to us at all!" answer Kesya with a full eye of policy.
"Yes, we are not important in Mr. Dika's life. Perhaps, the love he had for Amanda was also only limited to his responsibilities as a father. Not more!" my heart Manda heard what she said.
"Therefore, it is better that you hand Amanda over to us, I promise I will treat Amanda as my own daughter. You know for yourself, don't you? Both my sons are men. My uterus has been removed, because yesterday there was cancer there. So you can trust that I'll take care of your son like my own." Kesya tries to convince Manda.
"I just met a great woman like you. Who wants to take care of her husband's child with another woman. Even gave me a lot of gifts." Manda smiled bitterly.
"I just don't want to, my husband is sad at the thought of his other son. Trust me, I will definitely give anything my son has to Amanda. Don't doubt the sincerity of my heart!" Kesya.
"All right, give me some time to think. I don't want to make the decisions I make even regret later!" They then return to Kesya's room and there they get a view of the interaction between Amanda, Andika and Cakra.
Manda's heart was very painful. He also wants to have a life like other women, have a husband who loves him, and other normal lives. But parting with Amanda was also very difficult for him.
