I THOUGHT HATING LOVE WAS LOVE
ME OR YOU?

In addition to marbles there are some vanilla-flavored candies that again make him smile, apparently they have a favorite of the same taste. Without thinking Elio might be angry or not, David opened a packet of candy and ate it.

This time the vanilla taste is more than ever. David enjoyed the candy while glancing at his son for a moment before he took out Elio's picture book.

A picture of a hen along with a tail of her cubs brownish in color. It looks ordinary and natural for his age to draw animals and similar. However, David quite understands from the picture of his son as containing the meaning of a lonely child only having a mother without a father.

David glued to the picture, then opened the next sheet. His eyes were painful to see the picture of a mother and father who seemed to hold his son's hand.

David approached Elio. Gently caressed the head of her child.

"I'm sorry, papi, you must have been very hard." He then kissed Elio's forehead.

**

"Tock. Geck."

A knock from behind the door came - suddenly heard. Davi opened the door and found Maura standing in front of him. Silent for a moment.

**

"Where's my son?" Ask.

David squinted, Elio is sleeping."

Without answering Maura barged into the bed intending to retrieve it. David quickly followed and pulled Maura's hand.

"He just went to sleep!"

"I have to take him home!" Ketus reply.

"I won't allow it!"

"You have no rights!" Stretched his hand.

"I'm papya! I deserve it too!" David said coldly.

"DUG!"

Maura stared at David. "What right do you have to say my son is your son?" Clenched both of his hands.

David glanced at Elio who was slightly distracted. Not wanting to disturb his son David's sleep pulled his hand slightly rough towards the next room which was connected to one door in the room.

"Let go! David release!" Moaning but David increasingly tightened his grip.

**

Inside the different rooms Maura sat on the sofa with an annoyed look. Not enough to get there, David took out a white envelope from his suit pocket and threw it on the table.

Maura opened it slowly and read it for a few times. His throat was choked at that moment, he was angry because David had been presumptuous to do a DNA test without his permission.

"Who told you to do this?" Stand up and lift the paper.

David stepped closer, "Do I have to tell you to find out about my son?"

"Hegs. The kid? You speak as if you were a good papi to Elio!" Pointing to David's chest.

"Then what about you? Are you a good mom by abandoning her child in the middle of the mall crowd?" With a higher tone.

"But I never refused his presence before he was born in the world!"

As David gnashed his jaw, Maura actually hurt his feelings. It was clearly he who separated himself from Elio but accused himself of being a bad papi.

"Why?" As David fell silent.

"Maura!" He clenched both of his hands.

Maura saw clearly David's face that began to turn red, but did not make it vibrate it further added to his emotions.

"Why silence? you angry? Dear Mr David Megantara did you forget your treatment 6 years ago?" Speak with a higher tone.

"MOROM!" His impact kicked the table with a rough "BRAK!!" to make the ceramic flower vase fall and break.

Maura closed her eyes spontaneously. This time he felt fear after seeing David's anger for the first time. Long enough he closed his eyes did not dare to look at David even he had time to think if David would hit him.

David looked at Maura who was still standing closed her eyes, looking paled. David looked at her with reddened eyes, he was angry and even very angry and hated with her but why did he also feel unbearable to see her.

Maura slowly opened her eyes. Strangely when he first opened his eyes and found David's face looks poor.

"Da, Vid?" Sluggishly.

Maura suddenly felt a pain in her chest, "Not me, but you!" Replies glazed.

David squinted, his gaze complicated. Maura seemed not to realize that her mistake was too big, but always returned it to her, as if the evil David.

As for Maura, David should not have the right to ask that. It is clear that Maura chose the path that led them to be in their present state because of David.

"Me?" His words firmly gripped Maura's arm.

"Akh!" His ringis felt a throbbing in his left arm.

"You even disappeared 6 years ago and hid Elio." Said cold.

Examining David's reddened face, his gaze implied anger as well as concomitant sadness.

"Didn't you 6 years ago not want me? Have you forgotten and regretted for rejecting the presence of Elio that I wasn't even born yet, right?" Maura's words shed tears.

David released his grip, his head throbbing. I don't know what drama Maura was playing for her, which obviously had her chest tight.

"Stop playing your drama! Is it not enough that you ask to separate from me? Please don't torture me again!" His voice holding his chest slowly dropped his body leaning on the edge of the sofa.

The pressure he felt was too strong to make him cramped and unable to even think more clearly made him weak.

Maura was still worried and afraid to see David.

"David? David what's wrong?" holding David's shoulder.

"Hey David you're not papa, are you? Are you sick?" He said worriedly holding David's cheek.

"Fever?" He sighed with a look full of anxiety.

Without a second thought Maura looked at him in the room where Elio had fallen asleep. Maura breaks David down on the sofa deliberately so as not to disturb his son.

"Where's your phone? I'll call Haris." Groped his suit pocket.

But David stopped Maura, "She's gone home to get me my medicine!" pointing her bag over the bed.

Maura quickly looked for him, but he was quite surprised when he found a pack of cigarettes and a gold picker. When he was married, David did not smoke.

But he did not pay much heed, continuing to look for drugs. Apparently David has not been feeling well since yesterday and lucky for his heat-lowering drugs he brought. But again Maura was shocked when she found another drug in David's bag.

Apparently David in addition to being a cigarette addict, he also took drugs commonly given to insomnia sufferers. But Maura didn't care much about what was important when it helped her take the medicine first.

Maura poured a cup of water and gave David medicine. Carefully helped her sit down and gulped down some water. Their problems seemed to have never happened at that time.

"Hide here! I can't take you, Elio's asleep, too. I won't bother you!" She and Maura were silent and did not refuse.

David closed his eyes, Maura was pensive to see him. His face was calm and still handsome.

Remembering her face that was almost crying. Maura said, is it true that men who have spent time with him, always being nice and never making bad comments on him, really have the heart to get rid of the content? If true why did he look so pitiful?

Maura turned to look at the cigarette packets, gold-colored lighters as well as medicine bottles scattered on the mattress. As a doctor, he was no stranger to finding such objects. He could easily guess that it was quite difficult.

"Have you not been okay all this time?" His mind looked back at David. "Even while asleep it is still similar to Elio." Continue smiling little.

"No. No. gabe. What are you doing Maura?!" Banging restore his sanity, almost sja himself back tempted.

Maura tidied up David's bag and lay down near Elio.

**

Time goes on, clock shows 01:00 wita. David's fever is down.

"No. No. please don't take..!"

David woke up when he heard the delirious Maura.

"Morror." His mind approached.

David was quite surprised to see Maura who was covered in sweat on his forehead was also agitated. "Please don't take it...! hiks.hiks."

Slowly Dudu on the edge of the mattress, his outstretched hand trembled trying to touch Maura's face for the first time in 6 years.

"Maura?" Holding Maura's cheek, Maura hugged David's hand and fell asleep again. David looked at the face and could feel the coldness of a drop of tears slowly coming down his hands.

"What really happened to you? What dreams do you see?" His murmur looked at her heartily and his eyes looked red.

Seriate...
