Him, my Daughter's Father
Chapter 17

"I've forgiven your mistakes, but that doesn't mean I'll go back to Mas Mahesa"

"Sarpita_"

"I will marry Revan" said Puspita trimmed Mahesa's words, looking at her future husband who then smiled at her.

"What?"

"Before Mas considered us husband and wife, so it's better that Mas continue to think of it that way because we'll actually get married."

"How about Dinda?" ask Mahesa. He hopes that their daughter can reunite them.

"Dinda, come down baby" Pinta Puspita looked at Dinda who was still in Revan's arms. The boy looked at his future father for a moment, then came down after getting a nod from Revan.

Seeing her daughter's closeness to another man made Mahesa feel hurt, as a father, she wasn't even there beside Dinda when she was born.

He could not just blame Tania, as it was her disbelief in the too weak Puspita that made her gullible.

"Dinda already knows everything" said Puspita when Dinda was standing next to him.

Well, he already told her who his real father was to the little boy. Early in the morning, Dinda asks about Revan who will be her father. Puspita answered him, and said about Mahesa.

Not intent on thwarting his own second marriage, only that he was aware... If he wants to start a new life, he must be able to solve the past. One of them is Mahesa.

Who would have thought, if Dinda still wanted Revan to be her father.  Even he did not expect his son would still call Mahesa Om after knowing the truth.

"But, why does he still call his father 'Om'?" ask Santi.

"That's what confused me, but he already knew that Mas Mahesa was his father."

Puspita then squatted to align herself with Dinda.

"Look baby, Grandma's dad came here to see Dinda, so let's hug them" he said.

Dinda looked at Revan again, and did what Puspita asked after getting the nod.

"You see, how he asked Revan for approval to hug you. I think it has given an answer to Ms Santi's request" said Puspita made Santi who was hugging her granddaughter realized.

The middle-aged woman dropped Dinda off after. "Dinda want Mommy to be with Daddy together again?" tanyakanya.

Dinda looked at Mahesa and Puspita alternately, then shook her head and went straight back to Revan.

"Dinda would rather have someone who she said was someone else than her own real father, I think you've got more than enough answers."

Mahesa she was without a word, then left just like that. Santi who saw him felt sad, but he knew he could do nothing.

"Our mistake was not to believe you, but since you've forgiven us, is it okay if we come here often to see Dinda?"

"Mother is his grandmother, and Mas Mahesa is his father. I won't forbid you from meeting, as long as Dinda wants."

"Thank you, thank you Puspita. Can I hold you?"

Puspita was surprised, then nodded in doubt. Santi hugged the woman for a while.

"If you don't mind, come home. After all, Dinda lost her rights for years" Santi said after giving up her second hug, then left after saying goodbye to Dinda.

"You changed your mind?" revan asked, making Puspita turn her head, after Dinda went to the toilet.

"Why do you have to give evidence of Tania's crimes? They know about Dinda alone is more than enough for me."

"Because we have to completely resolve your past, did you see Mahesa earlier? He can't break you yet."

"I love you, Puspita."

"What's? Donor's dead?" tanya Puspita made sure, after hearing news from Sandi's doctor who called her.

"Right, because of a traffic accident. And his family won't let him keep donating his spinal cord."

Puspita made sure of the phone connection, her feelings suddenly messed up, she did not expect it to be like this in the end.

"What's wrong?" asked Revan who approached him who was washing dishes after lunch.

"His donor candidate died in an accident" he answered listlessly.

"Don't be sad, I'm sure we'll get a donor soon. As long as you try and don't despair, I'm sure there'll be a way out of this."

Puspita smilingly got an encouraging sentence from Revan, she looked at Dinda who was playing with Bi Ani not far from them.

"I have to heal for Dinda."

A few days passed after that day, Revan as the doctor unceasingly continued to look for people who would donate his spinal cord.

Unfortunately it was not easy at all, even up to two weeks passed and they did not get a donor. The condition of the cockpit is getting worse, ranging from drastic weight loss, loss of appetite, also frequent nosebleeds and easy bruising. In the end, the woman had to be hospitalized.

"Maybe we should tell Mahesa, he is a businessman, he has many colleagues who might make it easier for us to find a donor for you" revan said to the pale-looking Puspita with a ventilator covering her nose and mouth.

Puspita shook her head weakly in response. "He doesn't need to know" he said softly.

"Why? Why don't you want him to know? See how you are now? Giving it away may not change your situation, but the connection can help us find the donor faster. This is also for your good Puspita" said Revan with annoyance, worry and disappointment.

He had repeatedly said the same thing to Puspita, but the woman who had been lying weak for two days in the hospital was still determined not to tell Mahesa.

"You still love her, so you don't want her to get hurt knowing all this!" revan then closed his eyes, trying to be okay after understanding that the woman he loved still loved another man.

"Revan..."

"You don't want to go back to him because of the pain in your heart because of him, and that wound is always with the love that is not lost in your heart" Revan said.

Puspita shook her head weakly, her beads condensed hearing Revan's words. He could see clearly how hurt Revan was when he said it, but from the deepest corner of his heart, he confirmed the man's words.

"Then we'll get married right now."

"Don't do this Revan."

"You're afraid of getting Mahesa hurt, but you're not afraid of getting me hurt by showing your love for her. You keep resisting when I want to marry you as soon as possible."

"My condition is deteriorating Revan, we can't get married under these circumstances."

"Then why? Is something wrong?"

"I don't love him anymore!" puspita Lirih.

"Ask your heart, ask it carefully, because I'm sure you already know the answer!"

After saying so, Revan passed away just like that, making Puspita feel guilty for her future husband.

"I'm sorry Revan, I'm sorry..."

Seriate.
