FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN
Chapter 64. The Former Lover Novi

Rusdi looked agitated. He never wanted to open that story to keep Karen's heart. He loved his daughter very much.

"That's my privacy, why do you want to know?" Instead of answering Arion's question, he asked back.

"I need the answer. I don't want this to be a regret for you and me. Or you need to answer this first. Do you know who Novi's ex-girlfriend was before she decided to marry you?" ask Arion.

Rusdi looked back in breath. Everything Rico wanted to know was personal. How could he possibly tell the person he thought was no good.

"I never asked about that. For me the past before he knows me, let it be kept for himself. I just wanted to move forward with him without having to know about everything that happened before I knew me" Rusdi said.

Arion was silent, seemingly thinking of something. I don't know what's on his mind right now.

He and Rusdi both fell silent. Soluble in each other's minds.

"I want you to answer my question this time without asking me back. But before that I want to say something. I don't know, do you really not know or pretend. I'm Novi's ex-girlfriend. We were dating from 10th to 12th grade. Three years together. While going to college, I was forced to go abroad because my grandmother died. In Indonesia I used to live with grandma."

Arion paused his speech. He remembered the time he separated from Novi. It was not the desire of that man. However, he had to choose to go abroad for following the old man who had long settled there.

Rusdi looks shocked when he finds out Arion is Novi's ex-lover. He knew Novi, also a week before their wedding. It was all because of a match made by one of his friends.

At that time Rusdi immediately liked Novi, the woman then said everything she was going through. I hope Rusdi will marry her soon.

During this time Rusdi did not want to ask who the biological father of the child Novi, because he also loved the child very much. Think of it as your own flesh. Everyone thinks it's their son.

"So you're Novi's ex-girlfriend?"

"Yes. I just found out, when I left, she was pregnant. Did you marry Novi when she was two? And the child that Novi gave birth to was Karen?" ask Arion slowly.

Although the sound that Arion released slowly, but still can be heard Rusdi. The middle-aged man was weak, and directly leaned against the wooden wall of his house. He could hardly believe what he was hearing.

It's his fault, why he never wanted to know about his wife's past. Rusdi thought the past had nothing to do with the future. And also the man did not want if his wife's past would interfere with their current life.

The past let it pass. Live for today while preparing for the future.If you let the past disturb your life at this time, you will never be able to do your best for a good future. You don't have to remember taboo things. Everyone has forgotten about it, why do you keep remembering? The Past Let Go, Let's Forget the Dark and More Seriously Look to the Future.

Rusdi always thought so, not knowing if it would backfire on him. The man pulled his hair a sign of frustration. Arion who saw that became suspicious. He's approaching Rusdi.

"Say Rusdi, was it true that Novi was pregnant with Karen when she married you?" asked Arion in a slightly high voice.

Rusdi could not make his voice again. He could only nod his head in response.
