Because I Love You

Because I Love You
Chapter 5's


Talks between Arletta and Delon last night did not continue long, Arletta who actually already knew what Delon's life was like, pretended not to know and listened again Delon told about his life.


Delon asks Arletta to tell her about her life, how she completed her specialist education, who funded her and where she lived before this success.


"Yes after you guys kicked me out, I was financed by my mother's sister Aunt Julia and Om Mike who were in Surabaya. During my studies, Dr. Andi my senior and who is the son of Om Mike's friend always supported and encouraged me during my sleep in Tanggerang." Obviously Arletta was brief to Delon. "She's helped me a lot in my life over the last nine years."


Delon is grateful in his heart because it turns out he thinks Arletta can live his life well after what he and Bella did.


But Delon knew nothing of Arletta that he had not known. The big thing that Delon never expected, the thing that would make the thread between him and Arletta knitted back.


Arletta was worried, actually she wanted to tell Delon immediately that Delon had a daughter from her. One day Delon will find out too.


Arletta was pregnant when Delon divorced her and kicked her out, she was very young and she just found out.


At that time she remembered how happy she was for her pregnancy, she wanted to immediately tell her husband and father the happy news.


But when she got home, she saw her husband and another woman who was her father's secretary were making out while her father was fighting death.


Arletta took a deep breath, maybe now is not the time to tell.


After ten years of not meeting, it did not feel right if he immediately told Delon that especially in the condition of Delon who was sick.


Crystal who is the daughter of Arletta and Delon is on vacation at the home of Aunt Julia in Surabaya, she will just go home next month to Jakarta.


Maybe on Crystal's return day I'll tell him to break up Arletta.


The moment finally arrives, when Arletta must tell Delon about Crystal.


During this month Arletta and Delon's relationship has become familiar, the employees at Arletta and Novi's house also know who Delon really is.


Every day if they are at home, they also always eat breakfast and dinner together.


Today they are having breakfast as usual, and Arletta knows he has to tell Delon now about Crystal because Crystal will be home tomorrow.


"Something I want to say." Arletta said with a doubtful tone.


"What's Ar?" A curious Delon asked hearing Arletta's hesitation. Unusually, the now Arletta never hesitated to say anything to her, unlike Arletta when she was his wife.


"Ten years ago, when you and Bella kicked me out after papa's death. Actually three days before that, I checked into the doctor and found out I was pregnant."


Delon stopped eating her, she was very surprised to hear what Arletta said. In his heart Delon immediately said if he knew that Arletta was pregnant with her child he would not do such a heinous thing.


"Where is he now?" Delon asked with mixed feelings.


"She's going back to Jakarta tomorrow, for a month yesterday she was on vacation in Surabaya and staying at Aunt Julia's house." Arletta. "He's 9 years old, his name is Crystal Wiguna. Born on October 20th, exactly after seven months we divorced." It was obviously Arletta who had expected that Delon would have many questions and perhaps doubts about the true Crystal of her daughter.


Delon was speechless at Arletta's explanation, he couldn't say anything.


What the hell has he done? Even all this time she had no idea she had a daughter who was already 9 years old.


"This is a photo of Crystal." Arletta gave Delon a picture of her daughter. "Tomorrow we go to the hospital, I want you and him to do a DNA test. I'm sure he's your son, because I never did it with anyone else. But it's only natural that if you doubt it, then I want you to run a DNA test."


Delon looked at the photo of his daughter, a daughter he had never seen. Crystal's face was very similar to Delon's, she was a female Delon jeep. Beautiful, tall, has tan skin mature like his father, only his hair curls follow his mother.


"Why are you telling me now?" Delon asked disappointedly. "We've been together for about a month and you just told me something this important now?"


"You think how I feel about telling you this after all this time we didn't meet and didn't have a relationship? I'm just telling you right now because you're gonna meet him soon and spend three years with us. If you want to admit it's your right, but if it doesn't matter, let him know you're my employee."


"I want to admit it." Delon Disconnect. "I'll tell him that I'm his father, may I?" Ask Delon.


"It's certainly your right, but since I knew it would be your choice I wanted you and Crystal to undergo a DNA test first so as not to get misunderstood later."


"Okay, but how are we gonna tell him that I'm his father?" Delon asked thinking of the possibility that her daughter would reject her.


"I'll give him an explanation, just tell him if you've been working abroad and can't come back because there's some trouble there, and it's not like you don't care about us. Meanwhile, for DNA testing, we don't have to tell him that we're going to do a DNA test just pretend to take his blood sample for a routine health test."


"What if he one day hears the true story of Dr. Andi or meet, or people who know about us the truth? He'll hate me even more for deceiving him." Reject Delon restless.


"He's too young to accept everything we've experienced in the past, but if you think it's best, it's up to you that what matters is your next attitude toward him." Reply Arletta who considered the possibility as Delon said.


"Ar, may I ask you one more thing?" Tanya Delon was doubtful.


"What?" Arletta asked nervously at the thought of what Delon would ask.


"Can we knit the thread of our love story back? With Crystal. Would you take me back as your husband? To be my wife for the second time? Gave me a second chance?".


Arletta was stunned by Delon's question, she had actually guessed what Delon was going to say. But what he was expecting was only Delon asking for permission to live and raise Crystal together, not to get married and knit the household thread back.


"Give me time to think. I'll give you an answer tonight." Actually deep down Arletta was happy, it had been a long time she craved to regroup with Delon and Crystal. But he knew he had to sell a little expensive, then the yes answer that had become his decision was kept secret until later tonight.
