I LOVEd YOU Since 18
Eps 11 (Mother's Substitute)

"You just left yesterday from the party, you must be offended by the words of my friends....???" Ask Viona.

"I'm leaving because I need to get home....!" Answer Ariel.

"Yes if that's not the case, but if there are other reasons as well, I'm sorry for the inconvenience....!" Viona said while holding Ariel's fingers. "I know you're going through a tough time in your household, so you look very sensitive about that conversation. Iel we've known for a long time, I know exactly that you seem to be thinking a lot, you can tell me, maybe I can help you....!"

"Nothing....!" Ariel replied briefly.

"Yel.... Actually, what my friends said last night was indeed true not just gossip, it would be very hurt if we were lied to by the closest person, he said, it should indeed be honest with our actual condition so as not to disappoint later... I know the problem you're having may be the same, but it could be that your wife is covering something up from you, that she can't actually get pregnant....!" Viona.

Ariel turned towards her ex-lover with a flat look. It's true Viona said if maybe Elea experienced something happening in her body that prevented her from getting pregnant. But the only way she could do that was to get Elea to see a doctor, but it had already been done before they got married, and everything was normal. Elea's condition is good, Ariel's own fertility is also good, there are no problems to worry about. But why until now Elea did not get pregnant, but every day they were in touch, not only at night but if there was a chance they would do it. And there's no harm in him doing another check.

"Yes, something could have happened to my wife, but I'm taking her to the doctor again....!" Flat Ariel.

Viona smiled and held Ariel's fingers. "And are you ready for the answer the doctor will give you later? What if the doctor declares that your wife is barren???"

"No way... Before we got married we checked ourselves out and there was no problem whatsoever....!"

"You went to check in before you got married, and after you got married it didn't work out, so why did you have to reveal it, it could happen all of a sudden, hmmmm or maybe your wife is deliberately using contraception secretly because she does not want to have children.... Your wife is a career woman, so she may refuse to have a baby.... You're also Iel, why let your wife work, your money's been a lot and more than enough to support her!"

Viona keeps trying to instigate Ariel so that Ariel can get away from his wife. Even after Viona's arrival to the office, Ariel became increasingly hard-thinking with each of Viona's statements. Every day Ariel always receives a message from Viona, saying various things make Ariel increasingly doubt Elea. Viona always said her prediction about Elea who might have been lying to Ariel. Even Viona said Elea was a barren woman.

Ariel is completely affected by Viona's every remark about Elea, making Ariel finally no longer behave as usual towards Elea. Every time he came back from the office, Ariel went straight into the room, took a shower, changed her clothes and occupied herself in her study. His communication with Elea was just that, and Ariel seemed to stay away from Elea every time they were in the apartment. Ariel did not know whether Elea felt that way or not, which she obviously always tried her best to avoid Elea. His wife also did not seem to want to disturb him while in the study. After busying herself in her study, Ariel always went to her room in the middle of the night where Elea had slept. It was during this difficult time that Viona began to enter the lives of Ariel and Elea. Viona uses that to get Ariel back with her again.

And one day, Viona invites Ariel to meet and have lunch together. That was where Viona would launch her plan again after seeing that it seemed like Ariel had already begun to be affected by it. At lunch, Viona tells Ariel that it is better for Ariel to find a surrogate mother to get a child. Because it's one of the easiest ways. Ariel frowned and did not know what Viona meant.

"What....???"

"Yes why not Iel??? You're doing it secretly behind your wife.. How long will Iel wait for your wife to get pregnant??? You're a man you've got everything to make your wish come true, you need a successor for your company"

"Why should I go with a surrogate? I can also do a baby tube to get a child...?"

"Indeed you can do that, but the result can't be a hundred percent successful, it takes a good readiness for you and your wife, after all if you do that but your wife still doesn't want to have children, what can you do, Iel????"

Ariel was silent. He seemed to think very well of every speech Viona. It would all be in vain if she had tried but if Elea really did not want or was not ready to have a baby. Maybe he should find a surrogate mother to be able to get an heir. "Where can I get a woman who can carry my child???" Ariel asked Viona.

Viona threw her smile back. "It's hard to get that, in contrast to overseas but seeing you who's eager to have a child soon, I'm willing to give you an adorable baby...!" Viona.

Ariel frowning. "You????"

Viona nodded. "Yes Iel.... I'm willing to give birth to a child for you, you don't have to pay me, I'm willing to do it for free, just think of this as my apology to you because of my former bad attitude towards you, I'm really ready, really ready, and that's because I still love you so much... I'll make sure I take good care of your baby if you're willing and let me help with your problem....!"

"Then what happens next Pa???" Gienka asked her Papa.

Ariel looked down poignant. "Papa accepted Viona's offer, and that day we went to the hotel to do it...!" Ariel Muttered.

Hearing that answer, Gienka closed her eyes, frowning and throwing her face away, reluctant to look at her Papa. Suddenly there was pain in her chest, imagining how Mama Elea felt back then, when she learned the harsh reality. Her mother was betrayed by her father. Shortly after that Gienka cried, no longer able to imagine what his mother experienced first. "Does that go on Pa? If yes, how long does it last? And how many times has Papa done that behind Mama's back???" Gienka asked again without looking at her Papa's face again.
