Evening came, Papa Ferdinand came home from the office with a sour face. The wrinkles on his forehead were clear, and his breathing also repeatedly sounded heavy. It was as if he was bearing a considerable burden.
Seeing the situation of her husband, Mama Larissa immediately approached. Help him bring a briefcase, and take off his suit when he gets to the room.
Although there are important things to talk about, but Mama Larissa waits until her husband looks good, because the news she brings will definitely surprise. Just like him this afternoon, he was shocked to learn that Fidela was Dylan's son. Fella leaves the house carrying the seeds of the incident that night.
"You, baby," said Papa Ferdinant as he landed his body on the couch. The brief complaint made the wife frown.
The woman looked confused, wondering what was wrong with her husband? Is that a job in the office until she's so tired? Or maybe there are other problems that he does not know about. Realizing the possibility, Mama Larissa felt anxious, and immediately asked her husband what really happened.
"The cooperation that I told you about back then, turned out to be just a trap. I'm tricked. All the money was taken away, and I was left with a lot of debt. This had been planned for a long time, so it was very mature and did not leave any traces, so it could not be traced to its location. And slowly we'll go bankrupt."
Papa Ferdinand returned the wife's gaze with sadness. It was hard for him to tell all of that, but it was impossible to also be hidden forever. Because in a matter of days, his business will fall.
Hearing her husband's confession, Mama Larissa shut her mouth. He was very surprised, not believing that in one day he would get two shocking news.
"That's why I didn't come to the hospital when Fidela was taken there. I was dizzy thinking about all this" Papa Ferdinand continued.
"Fidela's been taken home, the doctor also gave her medicine and ointment." Mama Larissa took a deep breath, and then continued her sentence. "Is it possible that this is karma for us because it used to be difficult for Fella? We keep the truth in order to keep the good name of the company. We don't care about Fella's feelings, and instead tell her to go abroad. We don't think it could have made Fella pregnant" she said.
Papa Ferdinand shook his head. "That's impossible. They only did it once."
"But that's what really happened. Fidela was Dylan's son, not Daffi's." With tears in her eyes, Mama Larissa explained the origins of Fidela, which she only learned about today.
Papa Ferdinand was stunned for a long time, not at all expecting Fidela's real father to be Dylan. Which means, Fidela is his biological granddaughter.
Now he realized, how selfish the decision he made was. Fleeing Fella overseas, and marrying Dylan to Deliska, all for good name and business. Too big of an ambition, to not remember if Fella was in trouble. Fella is still very young. It takes a lot of support and guidance to deal with problems. However, he and his wife leave Fella alone.
"I am indeed a fool," muttered Papa Ferdinand with his head bowed.
That night, the two of them could not sleep quietly. In addition to being overshadowed by bankruptcy, both are also plagued by regrets, and guilt against Fella.
Elsewhere, Dylan was no less devastated. After coming out of the bathroom, she saw Deliska crying herself in the corner of the bed. His thin body curled up while hugging the blanket, his condition looking apprehensive.
"Darling!" Dylan approached, and sat down beside him. Then he pulled the body slowly, and was carried in his arms.
Dylan was still feeling sad, still imagined how fresh and beautiful Deliska used to be. While now skinny pale, and her beauty began to fade.
"I failed to be a good wife. Not only can't have children, but I can't play my part either. I can't take care of you, much less serve your biological needs." Deliska's words made Dylan's heart cut even more.
"You're the best wife, honey. No one is more perfect than you. So you can't think like that. I've never had a problem with that" replied Dylan.
"If I could control my ego. I'm not spreading a video between you and Fella, maybe our relationship will all stay good. She doesn't have to have any trouble, and maybe you can marry her, too, because you're not siblings either."
Hearing Deliska's words, Dylan simply closed his mouth. Deliska was honest a while ago when she found out about Fella and Dylan's relationship.
At that time Dylan could not get angry, given Deliska's weak and sick condition. Moreover, Deliska was not angry as he used to when he knew Fidela was most likely his son.
"Sometimes I feel guilty about Fella" Deliska continued in a weak voice.
"We're all wrong" said Dylan. His feelings are getting ruined. She recalled that night, then the shadow of the days Fella spent, pregnant alone out there. Really painful.
Silent. No more conversations in a while. Until finally, Dylan broke down his embrace and spoke seriously.
"Darling, how about we talk about this with Fella. We can apologize and forgive each other, so that the guilt is no longer haunting, so that our relationship is better in the future."
Deliska was smiling on the sidelines of her cries. "I agree."
Dylan thought for a moment. There was one more thing he wanted to say, but still hesitated. Because all this time, his wife always refused and even offended.
"Why?" ask Deliska.
"Darling, how about we just follow the doctor's advice? Uterus lift surgery so you can heal. I can't bear it if you're like this, because alternative medicine isn't too good?" Dylan said that carefully.
Beyond a doubt, Deliska immediately nodded and agreed to Dylan's suggestion.
"Alright, I want to" he said without coercion.
