Belinda exited the private room resto Royale Hotel with a turbulent heart. His hand held onto his chest which was painful. His body was sweating cold even though the air was not too hot. He was so afraid that his hands shook.
"How's this? What if the Avicenna family knew Boy was the result of Professor Gerald's experiment?" Belinda immediately stepped away from there. He called a taxi parked around the hotel.
Belinda could not hold back her tears. Her memories of the people who chased her the night she was declared pregnant never escaped her mind. Belinda cried in silence.
"Sorry, miss, where are we going?" ask the taxi driver.
"Take me to Price Town's apartment, sir" Belinda said in a trembling voice.
Belinda recalled that Roy also lived in the same apartment. "Yes God! What am I supposed to do? That guy will definitely keep chasing me before I tell him the truth." Belinda closed her mouth while shaking her head. "No! I'll never hand Boy over to them! It won't!!!"
Arriving at the apartment, Belinda walked quickly to arrive at her unit. He pushed the elevator button many times because the elevator door did not open. Fear now filled his heart.
"Bels, what's wrong?" someone greeted Belinda who had earlier pressed the elevator button.
"Batrick!!!" exclaim Belinda. "Help me, Pat!" Right now only Patrick can help her, Belinda thought.
"What's up, Bels. Calm yourself!" patrick said after seeing the panic on Belinda's face.
"We talked in a comfortable place" Patrick continued, taking Belinda somewhere.
Patrick takes Belinda to a rather quiet cafe of visitors. He ordered a cup of hot chocolate for Belinda.
"Drink first so you're calmer. Then tell me slowly." said Patrick.
Belinda took a sip of a soothing, warm chocolate flavor. "Thank you, Pat."
Patrick looked at Belinda pity. "Don't you just get back from Jimmy's shop?"
Belinda. "I just met with Dr. Roy."
"Eh?" Patrick was surprised.
"It turns out Boy told the doctor everything. Boy once told me that there was a chance that Dr. Roy was his real father. But I refused it. Because I don't know who Boy's real father is either" Belinda said.
Patrick listened to Belinda's story.
"So, Roy's own doctor told me that he had indeed given his seeds to a chosen girl seven years ago." Belinda could not continue her story.
"Please yourself, Bels." Patrick did not want to comment first. Now he can conclude if his premonition is true about Boy's biological father.
"Pat, what if the doctor was Boy's real father? I should how? You know what the Avicenna family isn't? They're not gonna let me and Boy live as quietly as they used to. They must have wanted to take Boy from me, Pat." Belinda's tears broke.
Patrick was silent. He doesn't know what to say. He thought for a moment to be able to say a sentence that did not make Belinda even sadder.
"So... Is it true that Doctor Roy is Boy's biological father? Have you confirmed it?" ask Patrick carefully.
Belinda. "He asked me to do a DNA test. But I refused it. I'm not gonna let him do it, Pat."
"How do we know if Boy's Doctor Roy's son if you're not willing to do a DNA test?"
"No, Pat! I'm not gonna do it. My gut tells me he's Boy's dad. But my heart still rejects it, Pat."
Patrick breathed. "You just calm down. Me and Kenzo will protect Boy."
"Thank you, Pat." Belinda took another sip of her hot chocolate to the toilet.
"Pat, can I ask you a favor?"
"Tell me!"
"Can you pretend to be Boy's real father?"
"Eh?!" Patrick was very surprised by Belinda's request. He looked at the woman in front of him. He looked fragile and desperate.
......***......
Patrick was sculpting himself on the balcony of the apartment. He thought about Belinda's request to him. Things will get more complicated after Belinda admits everything.
"Pat, what are you doing?" Kenzo approached Patrick.
"Ken, are you home?"
"yeah. My days are exhausting. What's up, Pat? Ever since our conversation, you haven't told me anything. We're partners, Pat. Please don't hide anything from me!"
"No, Ken. I'm not hiding anything. I'll definitely tell you if it's about our mission."
"alright. Then I'll go to the room and rest. You better take a break, too." Kenzo patted Patrick on the shoulder and then passed.
In the morning, Patrick and Kenzo come to Belinda's apartment for breakfast together. Only silence filled the breakfast atmosphere this morning.
Boy stared at all the adults sitting with him. Their faces looked tense and had a burden. Boy sighed.
Patrick meets Belinda, who is ready to go to work. The long haired woman showed a face full of worry. Patrick could not bear to see Belinda continue to feel anxious and sad.
"Belle..."
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm willing."
"Eh?"
"I'm willing to be Boy's father."
"What's? You serious, Pat?" belinda's eyes sparkled.
"Yes, I'm serious. I don't want you in danger. I promised Professor Gerald I'd take care of you and Boy."
"Thank you, Pat." Belinda accidentally stretched out her hand to hug Patrick.
Patrick flinched with Belinda's warm embrace. Not realizing his hand was also outstretched to return Belinda's embrace. Patrick inhaled deeply the scent of Belinda's body which tickled his sense of smell. I don't know since when the strange gelenyar began to enter his heart when he was with Belinda.
Belinda let go of her hug on Patrick.
"I'm sorry, I'm just too glad you're willing to help me."
"Tidk what, Bels. Do I need to take you to work?"
"No, Pat. I can go alone."
"Alright, be careful."

Arriving at the apartment lobby, Belinda immediately walked quickly to the online taxi she had booked. His steps stopped because Roy was waiting for him earlier. Belinda knows Roy won't give up until he gets what he's looking for.
"Sorry, Doctor Roy, I'm in a hurry. There's work I have to do." said Belinda caught off guard with Roy's attitude.
"I'll drive you." Roy replied.
"no need. I've booked a taxi online."
"Miss Belinda..." Roy blocked Belinda's arm.
Belinda looked at Roy cynically. "Please release! Don't be rude or I'll scream."
Roy took his hand off. "sorry. I just feel like if..."
"Belle..." Another man's voice interrupted Roy's words. The heavy sound came from Patrick.
"Pats?" Belinda approached Patrick.
"What's up, Bels?" ask Patrick.
"none. I just had a little chat with Doctor Roy. He's our son's partner, Pat." explained Belinda by coding Patrick.
"Oh, doctor Roy. Nice to meet you." Patrick held out his hand.
"Ah, so this is..." Roy's words were interrupted.
"He's Boy's real father" Belinda said, holding her hand on Patrick's left arm.
"Ah, so." Roy nodded in understanding. Roy takes Patrick's hand.
Patrick and Roy looked at each other for a long time. Their gazes could not be interpreted by Belinda.
"Pat, let's go. Excuse me, doctor Roy!" Belinda took Patrick's hand to get out of there.
Roy just looked at the departure of the two men. I really can't believe Boy wasn't his real son.
"So, he's Julian's son? But somehow I still feel confident that Boy is my son. I'll find the evidence, Belinda. I'm sure there's something you're hiding" Roy murmured.
......***......

*Well, who is Julian? Will Roy be able to find evidence that Boy is his son?
