Discarded After Childbirth
Bonus 1 - David's Regret

One year later, Gea was pregnant with her first child in Gaza. He has already reached the month of birth. In those days, Gaza always obeyed whatever Gea wanted. He has become a standby husband. Both of Gea's parents were brought to live with the Gaza family. He said that many people would take care of Gea if she had a need in the office.

"Be careful, kid. Don't hurry the path. Mom was horrified to know. Moreover, you are pregnant with twins," said the mother when Gea will approach her who is near the pool.

"It's slow, ma'am" said Gea.

"Where? What did the doctor say? Was her gender discovered?"

Gea shakes.

"Say they're both still shy ma'am. The gender is always a fitting cover again in check. Anyways, it'd be a man or a woman the same, ma'am."

"Yes, anyway, only we can be ready before the birth to buy baby clothes tailored to the gender."

"Yes buy her a neutral color. Which can be used for men and women. And the clothes of former Alwin are also still a lot of good. Yes even if it's for ages 1 year and above anyway."

"Yes anyway. Yes, I'll buy them blue, yellow, green, yes."

"May Ma."

Gea enters the house again and meets Mama Hani. Mama Hani asks Gea to sit next to her. He stroked Gea's already distended stomach once.

"Oma can't wait to see you guys. So good boy, dear Oma."

"Ready Oma," Gea replied with a smile.

"Oh, yes, Alwin was with him when he went fishing. No papa, right? Mama forgot your permission."

"Yes, no, papa Ma. As long as Alwin is happy."

"Thank God."

Shortly thereafter, there was a call from the house security. Gea lifted it up.

"Hello Non. There's a man who wants to meet. She said her ex-husband was Non. Can't go in?"

Gea directed her glance at her mother-in-law and whispered according to what the security guard said. Mama Hani also allowed David to enter. Because after all, David is the father of Alwin as well as the son of his friend.

Shortly after, David knocked on the door and Mama Hani invited him in. When she opened the door, she could not see clearly that Gea was pregnant because of the distance between the door and the living room. But when it was close, David looked surprised and became speechless.

"Sit down first Vid," said Mama Hani invited to sit down.

"Thank you Auntie."

David sat down immediately. His intention was to start the story back with Gea. He wanted to show proof that he could succeed without the help of his father. Within a year, David already had one restaurant he managed himself. Although somewhat different from the field he mastered before. But still it was an achievement for him.

Unfortunately, it seems like the intention he could not say because Gea was pregnant. David can confirm that it is the son of Gaza because Gea still lives in this house. At first he thought that Gea and Gaza could not possibly marry because he thought that Gea still loved him and that the Gaza family had regarded Gea as his own son. It means to regard Gea as a brother. In fact, everything he thought was different from the reality.

"What's up Vid? Why did you come here? Have you visited your mom and dad?" ask Mama Hani.

David shakes.

"I came here on purpose Auntie. I originally intended to ask Gea back to me. Apparently I was too late" he said with a wry smile.

"Yes you are too late, Gea is already the wife of Gaza. But Auntie won't ban you if you want to see Alwin. However, Alwin must know who his real father is. You can fail to be a good husband to Gea. But you can't fail to be a good father to Alwin. Everything that has passed, let it be a lesson for you in the future."

"Ge, may you be happy with Gaza. I'm sorry I hurt you. Now I'm really sorry and pleading guilty."

"I've forgiven you."

"Thank you Ge. Then I say goodbye to Auntie. My business is done."

Mama Hani nodded.

"Come to your mom and dad, they miss you. Even if you've done something wrong, they still love you and wait for you to come back."

"Yes Aunt."

David came out of the Gaza house with a sad feeling. Regrets always come later. No wife, no child too close to her. He felt his life was lonely. His memory goes back to the times when he and Gea were together in simple circumstances. David was really happy. Happiness is because of pretending. But his memories remained immortal in his head.

"Thank you Gea, thank you for making me aware. How foolish I was to waste a woman as good as you. I prefer treasure and the woman I love. In fact, the woman I love is even the woman who hurts my heart. Maybe this is all karma for me."

David got into his car. He wandered the streets to go to his parents' house. But, on the outskirts of the road, he saw a woman wearing a crumpled negligee, an unkempt face and disheveled hair. As she looked deeper, she was Selena.

David stops his car and approaches Selena.

"Cell, why are you doing this?" ask David who does not know that Selena has become a person in mental disorders.

"You who? Are you my husband? You're Steve, right? Hihi, I have given birth, my stomach is no longer distended. I'll be skinny and pretty again. I could be an artist again. hahaha."

David shakes his head when he finds Selena's psyche disturbed. He also did not talk to Selena and immediately entered the car again. He felt grateful, he did not have as bad karma as Selena. Although at the beginning of his life was full of twists and turns whose debts were everywhere. But now it's all turned around.

David runs his car back to his parents' house.

His arrival was welcomed by his mother and father. Even Tamara to tears because it has been almost a year not knowing news from her son. Yeah, even though Tamara was looking around to find out what David was doing. But it still feels different if not his own son who told me.

"You're finally home too, son. Mama really misses you."

"Sorry David Ma. Maafin David Pa's. Sorry for all David's mistakes. Sorry David just showed up now."

"Yes mom and dad have forgiven you. Let the past be a precious experience for you."

"Yes Ma. David is grateful that David is still given good karma for what David has done before by hurting good women. On the way to the house, David saw Selena who had become insane. David's really grateful David's not like Selena."

"Yes my mother knew, and often saw it too. Mama is very concerned about Selena's situation now. From now on, be a good person. Fix your attitude. Mama really wishes you could be happy with your new life partner."

"Do I deserve to be happy Ma?" ask David.

"Everyone deserves to be happy. He wants to be a bad or good man. They deserve to be happy in their own way."

David hugged his mother and cried there. He really regretted making a mistake all this time. Now he just hopes his life will really be much better and he can mengikhlaskan Gea with men of his choice.
