Husband's Regret: Betrayed for Not Getting Pregnant
Family Heritage Rings

Meanwhile, at the residence of Firdaus, Lena was sitting in front of the dressing table. Combing black hair that has partially started to silvery. However, the woman diligently shine hair until the silvery color is disguised.

Firdaus just finished exercising. Even though he was no longer young, the father of two children always took time to exercise even though only thirty minutes. The man scrunched the forehead of the confused sign to see his beloved wife was neatly wearing a long dress with a V-shaped shirt collar section and a neatly-embroidered hairdo made Lena look so charming.

"Ma, where are you going? It's only half-nine in the morning but you're done. Any appointments to meet your socialite gang friends?" firdaus asked as he approached his wife who was sitting on a chair.

Hearing someone's heavy voice, Lena looked at the man through the reflection of the mirror in front of her.

Applying a lipstick on her lips, Lena replied, "I have a funeral at Jeng Mawar's house at ten to twelve in the afternoon. After that, I'll meet Arumi at the hospital."

The look on Firdaus's face changed instantly. Recalling Arumi's name, he recalled the incident yesterday afternoon. That name that managed to melt the heart of his eldest son with his late first wife.

"Why, Pa? Mama can't find our daughter-in-law?" Lena confirmed the word prospective daughter-in-law at the end of the conversation.

The woman stopped her makeup activities in front of the mirror. He got up from the chair, then walked over to the wardrobe. The woman was looking for something in there. The next second, Lena's eyes sparkled happily.

"I want to give this to Rayyan's future wife."

With great care, Lena took out a one-eyed diamond gold ring on it. It looks simple, but can dazzle the eyes of people who see it.

Firdaus's eyes widened when he saw the legacy ring his late mother had given Mei Ling was in the hands of his second wife Lena.

The one-eyed diamond ring is a hereditary legacy from the days of the ancestors of Paradise. The ring will be given by the mother of the groom-to-be to the future daughter-in-law of the family.

In the past, before Firdaus married Mei Ling, Rayyan's grandmother gave the ring as a symbol that the Chinese woman who would become a daughter-in-law in the family of Wijaya Kusuma. Other than Mei Ling, there was no other woman who could replace the woman as the daughter-in-law in the family. Although Mei Ling no longer exists in this world, but her position as the young mistress of Wijaya Kusuma remained eternal until Rayyan invited women to be made wives.

Therefore, until this moment Lena's position in the family of Wijaya Kusuma has no meaning. He is only the second wife who is not recognized by the family Firdaus who live in Yogyakarta. Until now, the marriage status of the woman with Firdaus was only limited to the wife of Siri because it was not recorded in the civil court.

"C-the ring, why is it on you, Ma? Wasn't the ring gone before the accident?" ask Firdaus between believing and not believing if the family legacy of his ancestors is still stored neatly, durable and maintained.

Lena shook her head as she said, "No, Pa. Your family's legacy ring never goes away. Ma'am Mei Ling deliberately lied so that you don't continue to force her to give up Wijaya Kusuma's inheritance."

"When Maak Mei Ling left home and the fateful accident happened, this ring was embedded in the ring finger of your first wife. He deliberately left it to me to give to Rayyan's future wife. And I kept it neat until the time was right, and then I returned it to its rightful owner" Lena said at length.

Lena's eyelids glazed over, the woman's vision began to blur. The crystal granules began to coagulate spoiled in the eye fertilizers. The woman's nose was sour. Her chest felt tight if she remembered how Mei Ling faced the death sac right before her. She could do nothing but help the first wife of her husband to recite the creed before the angel of death picked her up.

Lena closed the closet. However, before that he first put the legacy ring into the bag. Walk slowly closer to Firdaus.

With disappointed eyes, Lena stared at the brown bead of her beloved husband.

"Why Papa forced Mbak Mei Ling to hand over this ring Papa' will know, will know, this ring is a symbol of your family's recognition of the daughter-in-law in the Wijaya Kusuma family but why Papa instead urged Mbak Mei Ling to return it."

"What ... because Papa wants Mama to wear the ring?" Lena looked at the man. "Papa wants Mama to replace Mbak Mei Ling in the family Wijaya Kusuma?"

Firdaus flinching. He did not respond to all his wife's words. The man's mind was empty, out of nowhere all the cleverness he had been. Usually he will deny if the opponent's words do not match his conscience but this time the man is silent, silent a thousand languages.

"Mama didn't expect Papa to be that cruel to Ma'am Mei Ling. Mama's really disappointed, Pa."

The woman's tears fell. His body shook violently. He could no longer hold the crystal grains so as not to fall wet the cheeks.

"Our affair alone has inflicted a wound on the woman's heart. And Papa inhumanity urged Mbak Mei Ling to give me the ring to give."

"Papa! Really, Mama did not think Papa would lose his health just for the sake of giving a confession to Mama in front of the whole family Wijaya Kusuma."

"If it wasn't an accident then, would Papa still force him to give up something that he already owns?" lena asked softly, almost resembling the whirlwind in autumn.

Lena knew, in the past she was so evil towards Mei Ling for ruining the household that the woman had defended so hard. However, he did not expect that the man he loved so much could do something beyond common sense just because he wanted Lena to be recognized by the entire family of Wijaya Kusuma as the second wife of Firdaus.

"Enough, Ma. Don't go on anymore, "pinta Firdaus. He was no less sad when he remembered the actions he had done in the past.

He used to be so stupid for having wasted a woman as good as Mei Ling. A faithful wife, attentive and sincere in love with her. Because of his selfishness, he sacrificed his parents' chosen wife even though the woman had carried out her duties as a good wife and even gave her a son. But that love is not present in the heart.

Lena walked slowly to the bed, resting her buttocks on the edge of the soft bed that had for years been a silent witness to the union of the two men.

"We have committed many sins against Mbak Mei Ling and Rayyan, Pa. Don't you want to fix this already strained relationship? Papa doesn't want Rayyan to return to being a jolly child and admires Papa as a super hero?"

Firdaus stared at his wife. The man's eyeballs were flushed red because they held the crystal granules from sliding on both cheeks.

"I mean, Mama?" firdaus asked in a raucous voice.

Lena returned her husband's gaze with an indecipherable look.

"We can take this opportunity to apologize to Rayyan by giving her blessing to marry Arumi. Mama knows, our mistakes in the past are difficult to take advantage of even to the death of pick up even our mistakes can not be forgiven."

Lena paused her sentence. He took a deep breath, to replenish the oxygen supply in the lungs. "At least, we're trying to get Rayyan back to being the Rayyan she used to be. A jolly child, easily smiling and very fond of his Papa. Although he can't forgive us, but there's no harm in us trying."

Firdaus blinked both eyes. Exhaling roughly. Making up with her first child was the biggest dream of her life. Although Rayyan's presence in this world is due to a compulsion, but the love and affection as a father for his child grows in the heart of the man.

However, to accept Arumi as his son-in-law, he felt he was not ready. Many things that make the middle-aged man difficult to accept Arumi even though he is one of the outstanding doctors in the hospital, still it is not enough to make Arumi as his future son-in-law.

"Papa is desperate to make up with Rayyan, but to accept Arumi as the future daughter-in-law of this family, it seems Papa disagrees, cause-"
