I HATE YOU, BUT
#50

Davian wiped away the tears on Alena's cheek as he could feel the various feelings raging in his wife's heart. Her mother-in-law had just told her the story of the past that became the origin of the feud between two families. He could not comment, just shut up. This is not the place to comment.

Despite her wish, Alena could not stop the tears that broke out without her permission. He was confused whether to be angry at his late father or sympathy. I don't know who to blame but he felt his father was not wrong. Everyone who loves would be willing to do anything to maintain the fabric of his love. He again focused his eyes on the sobbing mother. Malvin was silent with a glaring look. Alena believes her feelings are no less chaotic like her.

“Truly Alena, even though your father didn't love Mom back then. But since you were born, your innocent face is like a magnet that makes your late father feel turned to Mother.”

“I know mom...” Alena held her mother's hand. He knew forcing his mother to tell him this was like opening an old wound that his mother had been trying to heal for years. It must be hard to get married with a husband who does not love him, especially plus the fact that the husband loves other women. It was very heavy, Alrna knew because she had experienced it. Her mother was a strong and strong woman. He still loves his father even now. Alena felt very proud and amazed at her mother.

“Mom still have to tell the core of this story to you and Malvin.” continued Mom after feeling calmer. He stared softly at the three people around him especially Alena and Malvin.

“Mothers hope that after you hear it, you can take a wise decision.” Mom's eyes are on Alena, though,

“Mom hope you don't hate your father,” after that and then get to Malvin,

“Mom also hope you don't hate both your parents.”

Malvin still hasn't answered. He was preparing his heart before actually hearing his story from a different point of view. He was sure in fact, his real father was not as bad as his father had told him.

*Flashback*

“Honey, look at our little daughter laughing.”

David enjoyed his role as a father. That afternoon he replaced the role of Nia who was busy preparing dinner. With joy he invited their baby to play on his lap.

“Oh no, looks like he missed you.” David gives little Alena to his wife. Nia knew her daughter must be hungry. She immediately gave him breast milk and let his son sleep soundly afterwards. They both laughed seeing Alena squirming in her sleep. Nia turned her gaze to David, her face was just as happy. Yes, her married life was indeed happier after Alena's birth.

David's outstretched hand stroked Nia's cheek with the back of her hand. Highlight the eyes of the man sparkled when he looked at Nia, able to make the cheeks of the woman he stared at embarrassed.

“I feel so guilty for you because I made you suffer,” David said with regret. Nia quickly shook her head with a smile on her lips trying to remove the worry from the face of the man she loved. He held David's hand.

“Not to think about it anymore. The bitter past I've long forgotten is why I hope you can do the same,”. David felt so happy and lucky. I don't know what happens to him if he doesn't have Nia in the most desperate moments for him. Maybe he killed himself after hearing Sarah was married to another man.

“I love you,” whispered and then kissed the hand of Nia who was holding her hand. Without hesitation he pulled his wife's waist closer and landed a warm kiss on Nia's lips. It's a kiss full of love because Nia can feel it clearly. Therefore he greeted her with joy because this kiss seemed to confirm to her that David belonged to her completely.

When Nia felt her happiness had reached the top, the sound of knocking on the door that sounded endless again made her attracted to the real world. He looked at David for a moment with a look of wonder.

“Who came?”

“Entahlah. Wait, I'll open it.” David went to see who was the one who was brutally knocking on his door. Does that person not know a polite way to visit someone else's house?

David opened the door and was surprised when he found a familiar figure standing there.
