CHOOSE SILENCE
Chapters. 54. The Choice Is on Him

In the middle of the night Alfred secretly entered the nursery, of course without anyone's knowledge. On the edge of the gurney Alfred stood unblinkingly looking at me who was sleeping.

Alfred sat himself on the edge of the gurney, then grabbed my palm. I stared at my face without a word.

Alfred gaped like he was holding back a cry while closing his eyes.

"I'm sorry" said Alfred while biting his face lips by grasping my palm so as to make my sleep disturbed.

Realizing Alfred's whereabouts I kept my eyes closed as if still asleep as Alfred thought.

"I'm aware and don't deserve to be here. As you said, I should now be feasting on the triumphant achievement of the mission of revenge" Alfred muttered blankly at me.

Alfred cupped my palms with both his palms.

"Why are you hiding this dangerous disease? why don't you say it and even let the disease eat away at your body? by saving two innocent babies. You are willing to die rather than lose them. I'm so stupid as to never give you a chance to explain it, now there are only regrets, endless regrets, lifelong regrets" Alfred said as he peeked at my finger.

Alfred wiped away the tears.

"Tell me what should I do? to be given a chance to fix everything? tell me, whatever I'll do if it's a challenge. Should I follow in my brother's footsteps? if that's the challenge,"

Alfred's unkempt words made my heart beat.

Alfred smiled miris.

"No, I'm not that stupid with short thoughts. If I die, who's guarding you? I don't want our two babies to feel what I feel. From childhood my sister and I were abandoned by Mommy, and I didn't want that to happen with my flesh and blood. I want to see them grow up and not feel a lack of affection for their parents. Maybe I'm selfish but all this I do for them. It's not easy to do this because you have amnesia" Alfred said at length.

Alfred inhaled my palm while closing his eyes.

"Trust me only you're Alfred Hugo's only wife, nothing else. I've never played religion because I realized that such a blatant act must have disappointed Daddy with Mommy up there. It's all a charade, it's what I do for revenge. That way you suffer more. Believe me you're my wife, and you're the first person in my life" Alfred cried and kissed my finger.

After landing a kiss on the forehead, Alfred forced his way out of the nursery. As Alfred moved away I immediately opened my eyes, the tip of my eyes watching Alfred's back begin to disappear.

I just had tears coming out. Shocked of course after hearing Alfred's confession. There was a fear, a fear of Alfred thinking short and ending up like his brother. But I can be relieved because he won't do that.

Let time answer. My heart was so wounded that it was hard to heal. Suffering for the sake of suffering makes me tired and better like a fool who pretends to forget all memory. Let's just say I've just been reborn into this world.

Without us knowing it, Papa and Mama heard everything Alfred said when they wanted to check, and stopped at the door.

°°°°°°

Papa gathers a family including Alfred along with Om Julio and Aunt Meysi. They talk about the root of the problem. Everything must be done so that no one misunderstands.

Everyone was gathered still with a flat face. Look at Mama's face, eyes swollen from crying over the fate that befell me. Which mother is unharmed finds the truth revealed. By accident they had fun, were happy on top of my suffering. That's because they don't know what really happened.

Papa turned to Alfred who had been silent since then with a downcast face.

"Son Alfred is there anything you want to say? Papa wants to right this misunderstanding today" Papa said, causing Alfred to raise his face. Everyone could see Alfred's face swell up from Moses and Frans's doctor, plus two slaps from Gabriella but they were nothing compared to the wounds, the suffering he gave me.

Alfred began to tell the beginning of everything with a sad face and a blank look. It's very difficult for Alfred to tell me the past, what else memory after memory goes through how he hurt me directly or indirectly.

"How could I not feel vengeance because the family I had left simultaneously," Alfred said with a bowed face.

"What's? Bernard committed suicide? hicks...." Gabriella cried hysterically as she shouted.

Of course Gabriella was shocked and did not expect the person she loved so much to leave in such a tragic way.

"Honey you're misunderstanding, I'm still alive....." Gabriella's tears are breaking.

"Dear calm down" Mama calmed Gabriella down.

All were silent to hear story after story Alfred. It turned out that Alfred had been very bad with the events that befell his family.

"After that I swore to find the cause of my brother ending his life, I happened to find some photos, even Bernat grasped a piece of a picture of his lover at the end of his life. For two years I tried to find the woman in the photo, to the point that I kept my identity or identity a secret. I don't know what luck at the time there was a job in country x by accident I met Isabella who I thought was the woman in the photo. At that moment I immediately intercepted him and even gave a threat, even I still clearly remember the fear on that face," Alfred involuntarily shed tears. "A little surprised because the woman I'm looking for is not a random person, who doesn't recognize the January family" he added when he saw my identity.

Alfred wiped his tears.

"Threat threat after threat I cast, and in the end the marriage took place, with such an amazing play that we can convince all of you including Papa, Mama, Opa and Oma," alfred looked at Papa as Mama alternately with a guilty look.

Alfred closed his eyes for a moment.

"As time goes by I've made two choices, which is to choose Leon or divorce?"

All were conscious in each other's minds after hearing Alfred's scathing remark.

"Obviously the choice was very heavy for him, on the one hand he really wanted Leon and the second side was impossible to divorce because it resulted in injury to the family, especially Papa and Mama. He said he couldn't choose, Leon was part of his life, while the first reason he didn't want to get divorced was because." Alfred was silent for a moment because his tongue was too weak to say this. "Because he fell in love with me even loved me so much" Alfred said, closing his eyes. "I don't believe it because from the beginning he was quite indifferent as he hated me so much but I was wrong, he sincerely loved me" Alfred concluded.

"Brengse*," said Moses could not hear the sister's story. "My brother doesn't deserve to love a brengse* guy and a coward like you," really angry Moses, he feels guilty for not being able to take care of me.

"Your mission has been accomplished, it is enough to give suffering to our daughter. Achieve your happiness with your real wife, it is enough to incise wounds because our daughter does not remember anything even Mother who has given birth to her," said Mama interjected.

Alfred shook his head.

"I've only been married once in a lifetime and Isabella is my only wife" Alfred stressed. Everyone stared at Alfred question mark except Papa and Mama.

"You mean?" lirih Gabriella was still sobbing.

"I've never married and had a wife other than Isabella, it's all just my play to make her feel more devastated and miserable" Alfred stressed.

Alfred got up and knelt at Papa's feet with Mama.

"I'm sorry before. Pa, Ma allow me to fix everything, I'm so sorry. Allow me to account for our wife and two children. They're my only family now, "please Alfred at the foot of Pala with Mama.

"No, I will not let it go" Moses said out loud against Alfred's request.

"Rise Son" Papa said, patting Alfred on the shoulder.

Alfred remained in that position.

"The choice is with our daughter" Papa said.
