FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN
Chapter 68. Arion Change

"Please come in, Pi," said Rico at last. No matter how evil Arion is, he is still a person who is meritorious to raise himself.

Rico opened the apartment door wide. Arion entered slowly. When he reached the living room, Arion looked at Karen who was asleep without a blink.

Rico who was standing behind Arion again became suspicious. In his mind, Arion wants to take Karen away. The man immediately walked closer to the sofa, where Karen was asleep.

Arion who realized it could only catch his breath. He knew all this because of him too. It's not wrong if he's hated.

Rico sat down next to Karen who was soundly asleep. The hair of the woman he loved.

"I'm sure Papi came not only to see my situation. There's gotta be something to say."

"But I don't know where to start. What is certain is that Papi came to re-establish siraturahmi. Papi wanted to apologize for what Papi had done. Papi regrets hurting you, and Karen," Papi said.

Rico looked at Papi intensely, not believing what he was hearing. An Arion apologized with grief. Rico rubbed his face, afraid all this was just a dream.

"Sorry, Pi. I stayed a while. I'll make you some water to drink first."

Rico walks into the kitchen and makes two cups of coffee, for him and Papi Arion. Meanwhile, Arion approaches Karen. Seeing it with a sad face. He remembered the time of torture. He almost killed his son and granddaughter who were Karen's birth.

Unwittingly Arion, her tears fall down her cheeks. The middle-aged man immediately wiped it off. Afraid Rico saw. However, without him noticing his adopted son had seen all of that.

Rico was glued to where he stood. I can hardly believe seeing her Papa cry. The man asked why his Papa was crying while looking at Karen.

Rico continued his steps. In front of Papi, the man placed two cups of coffee on the table. One cake plate.

"Drink, Pi. There's just this. Papi, can I have breakfast?" ask Rico.

"Let Papi ask to be bought with Joko. You and Karen usually have breakfast. Papi order all of you. Papi and you haven't had breakfast together in a long time" Papi said.

"Good Morning" said Arion.

The greeting was immediately heard when Karen opened her eyes. His sight met with Arion. The woman rubbed her eyes. Thinking everything is just a dream.

Rico immediately rubbed the hair of the woman he loved so much. Karen looked at it, and sat down.

Karen spontaneously hugs Rico's arm. His face looked frightened. Arion's heart felt hit by a hammer. Feel pain. His own daughter, afraid of him. How could he possibly tell the truth if his daughter was so frightened to see his face.

"Rico, I'm scared" Karen whispered. Rico rubbed the woman's hand to provide comfort. It's like he said, "don't be afraid, I'm here."

"How are you doing Karen?" asked Arion with a smile. But it still frightened the woman.

"Karen, Papi came to apologize" Rico said.

Karen looked at Rico's face, begging for an explanation. I can't believe her ex-husband came to apologize.

Karen still remembers, how Arion treated her while in the village at that time. He felt like a prisoner.

"Karen, Papi is sorry if all this time hurt you. Papi really regrets doing all that" Arion said.

Again Karen looked at Rico, pleading for an explanation from the man. Karen was confused by what she heard. I can't believe what he's seeing and hearing right now.
