FORBIDDEN PASSION STEPCHILDREN
Chapter 82. The Apartment

It's been a week since Papi Arion came clean about who he really is. Today Arion came to visit the apartment owned by his adopted son. Arion wants to get closer to her daughter Karen. To relieve the trauma to Karen.

With a favorite Bogor picket Karen, Arion came there. Stepping out of the elevator to Rico's apartment unit.

Arion pressed the bell, and entered after Rico opened the door to let himself in. The middle-aged man smiled looking at Karen. Replied with a knotty smile.

It just so happened that Karen had finished cooking. Rico invites Arion to breakfast.

Karen just kept quiet without a sound. Meanwhile, Arion and Rico are busy chatting. In silence Arion stole a look at his son.

"Karen, Papi doesn't know what to do to heal your wounds and disappointments other than to say sorry. All has happened, regretting also will not make it all back. Again, I'm sorry Papi. What do you have to do so that you and your mother can forgive Papi's mistakes?" asked Arion in a soft voice.

Seeing Karen who was just silent makes Arion open her voice. He wanted to get closer to his daughter.

Karen's tears can't be contained anymore. Remembering his mother. Until he closed his eyes, his father did not or has never apologized.

"Free, I think that whenever you never or never can forgive all the mistakes, Papi," Dea said, wiping her tears.

"Boy knows, Karen. It must not have been easy for your mother to be able to forgive all of Papi's great mistakes. If only he had been alive, Papi would have come to apologize so your mother could forgive me."

"It's free to regret Papi, because everything will not be repeated."

Karen wiped away the tears that fell down her cheeks. Seeing that Rico hugged his wife's body.

Arion grabbed Karen's hand that was on the table. He held his daughter's hand. I wanted to hug Karen's body.

"Karen, it may be too late for me to apologize and make amends to your mother, but for you I don't think it's too late. What do I have to do to make you forgive me" Arion said.

Rico looked at the faces of Arion his foster father and Karen his daughter. He doesn't know what the two are thinking.

"Is it true that Papi would do anything to make amends?" ask Karen in surprise.

Arion felt her chest tight, because her daughter Karen still doubted her, even though she had told the truth .

Arion nodded his head in agreement. He had indeed intended to do anything to be able to repair the relationship with Karen.

"But Papi also has one request" Arion said.

Karen looked at Rico's face . The woman is afraid if the request of the man who is her biological father is something that is difficult for her to fulfill.

"If it's not burdensome, I'll give it to you" Karen said in a soft voice.

As his willingness to do as Karen asked, the middle-aged man nodded his head.

"Bapi wants to be loved and loved, just like you love Rusdi's father" Arion said. He made one wish.

Karen looked at her biological father without a blink. His request did not seem difficult. However, he was still stiff

to treat Arion like Rusdi who is very dear.

It added to the pain of the man who had made his mother suffer enough until the end of her life.

Karen realized that what she was doing was wrong. As a child it is not appropriate to treat his biological father like this. Just calling out to love him, it didn't seem so difficult. But it's so hard to do.

Karen took her breath. Is he capable of doing all that. Finally Dea said, "Alright, I'll try. But can't promise anything."

Hearing Karen's reply, Arion was so happy. He did not know what his son would ask for.

"Now it's time for Papi to hear your request, son," Arion smiled.

"I just want Papi to stay away from the night world and the night butterflies" said Karen slowly, fearing that it would make her real father angry.

Arion stared at his son's face without a blink. I don't believe Karen's request. At first Rico thought Karen was going to ask for something difficult.

"I also want Papi to be honest. Is it true that Papi married me just out of grudge with my father and mother?" ask Karen.

Arion took a breath. Her chest was tight to hear her daughter's question. Where does he know this truth. The man also feels guilty for his revenge to want to destroy the life of Karen who turned out to be his biological child.

Arion leaned his body. Take a long breath. Maybe it's time he was honest. Whatever risk he will accept after telling the truth, will be lived. It was time for her to see happiness for her two children.

"Where do you know all this. Who said it?" ask Arion

Arion never told anyone this truth. Where did Karen know all this.

"Where do I know, I don't think papi needs to know. All I need is an answer from Papi. Is it true everything I heard?" ask Karen.

Arion can't get anything. His tongue feels ugly. Just a nod of the head in answer to Karen's question.
