He's my son, not my brother
The hidden wounds
"Destroying my daughter's future?" Dad's face starts to turn red. "What kind of damage do you mean?" Ask again with your hands clenched tightly.
"Destroying Naina's future because I have desecrated her and made her pregnant out of wedlock."
Brakes
Father's hand clump landed firmly on the sofa table to make the table glass slightly cracked.
"Dad..." Mom shook her head. I wish I could control my emotions right now.
"So you're the man who ruined my daughter?" Ask Dad while looking at Daniel.
Daniel nodded. Without hesitation, he spoke again. "And I'm Zeline's real father."
"Close your mouth! Zeline doesn't have an irresponsible father like you!" Dad's voice began to rise.
Amara and Zeline were shocked to hear Dad's loud voice for the first time.
"No. hua..." Zeline tightly hugged Amara's body feeling terrified.
"Do you know how tortured my daughter has been all this time? My daughter lives in fear of getting pregnant out of wedlock even though we as her family have always encouraged her. My daughter had to endure the pain of having to admit her biological daughter to be her sister. And even more painful, my daughter to date has never been called Mother by her own biological child. Do you know the pain my daughter has been feeling all this time? And now that four years have passed, you just showed up in front of us to apologize. What kind of man are you!" Jerking Dad. Father was still trying to hold back his emotions so that the clump of his hand would not float on the cheek of the dickhead in front of him at this moment.
Mom started crying. Also felt the pain that his daughter passed all this time even though his daughter always tried to look okay.
"You don't know the pain my wife and I feel in the middle of the night always hear our daughter crying alone while judging herself. She always felt like she was a dirty woman who brought bad things to our family. Even our daughter always dwarfed herself if there would be no man willing to accept her condition as the mother of one child born without the bond of marriage." Dad spoke at length while glazed.
During this time Father and Mother always try to pretend not to know what Naina feels even though they are very sick when doing it. Father and Mother can only always try to channel strength to Naina by giving her unrelenting affection to Naina and their grandchildren every day. Father and Mother also never want to ask who is the father of their grandchildren because they want to keep Naina's feelings. They understand very well, if what happened to his daughter caused a sense of trauma inside his daughter.
"Patak... Dad that's it..." Zeline was getting more and more frightened when she heard Dad's voice rising.
"Relax... I'm not angry." Amara could only calm Zeline down. Even though he was currently quite surprised when he heard a confession that was quite clearly heard by his ears. Amara's tears also fell. It turns out that all this time his father and mother were also injured for what happened to his brother.
Daniel is getting down. His eyes were also flooded to realize how much of a jerk he had made a family hurt because of him.
Dad took a deep breath. "Now can you explain, what was the relationship between you and my daughter in the past to getting my daughter pregnant out of wedlock?" Ask Dad with an intimidating look.
