Riani took a deep breath, then exhaled back the air from her nose.
There was a sense of relief after he learned that he still had a real father, let alone that he was Papah Rolland.
A long chat last night made Riani realize that behind all the events she experienced, and the death of her household on the verge of collapse, she was very lucky to have two fathers.
Father is connected but the sense of a biological father, because he took care of her since birth sincerely and lovingly, makes him unexpected when he found out the truth, he said, that the late hafis father whom he had always regarded as his biological father was not the owner of one blood with him.
And now he meets his real father who also loves him very much.
He was very grateful that behind all the trials of his life, there was good wisdom that he received as a gift from God.
"Thank you God for bringing me a loving Father, and for completing my parents, my thanks be to you, God..." Riani's words of gratitude in heart.
"What movement makes Winnieku mope like that...?"
Akbar's voice refracted the chant of prayer in Riani's heart.
"Ah...Uncle Donald, from the past until now hasn't changed with your dramatic line"
"If it's not dramatic, it's not Uncle Donald's name, because that's my identity"
"Yes...Yes, an eccentric person like you is second to none"
"Haha...What's actually going on? why do I see your face so tangled like that?"
"My face is tangled like this because it hasn't washed your face, not moping like what you think, your telepathic network is lola tuh!" cananda Riani's.
"Pantesan, my trunk antenna is not twitching" Akbar replied to Riani's joke.
Both of them laughed.
"Haaahs...Haven't we laughed like this in a while?" akbar said a long sigh.
"Yes, so confused with our teenage years..."
"The period in which the beginning of our story got the nicknames of each, winnie, pooh and uncle donald"
"Hahaha so remember that funny incident!"
"Yes! when you snack up to a week because of nicknamed Winnie, hahaha!
"That's...It was because I was a kid"
The sound of the incoming message ringing on Riani's phone, stopped the exclamation of the two of them.
When it opened it turned out Radja who sent the message and said that now Radja is on her way to the house to pick her up.
When he saw the clock on his phone, it was time for him to get ready to go with Radja.
"Uncle, I'll get ready, okay? Radja's coming to pick me up soon"
"You mean your husband Radja?"
"Yes, there's something important we both want to talk about"
"You go get ready, I'll soon have a task from Mr. Rolland"
"Alright, then I'll go in first"
"Okay, greetings to your husband"
Riani simply replied with a nod of her head, then she rushed inside following Akbar's eyes.
"Although I know everything you're going through, but...Is it so hard for you to just share your stories and share your hardships with me?" akbar asked in his heart...
.............
At exactly two o'clock in the afternoon, Radja has arrived to pick up Riani.
After the two said goodbye, the car drove towards the place they had agreed to.
...
"What do you want to order Dek?" tanya Radja, sesam panya in the private room of a VIP class restaurant that she had booked by Radja before.
"Whatever, I'll order it"
"Well, I'll order a healthy meal for you and our kids?"
"Yes, thank you"
Riani looked at the face of her husband who was seriously reading the menu, in memory of him during his marriage to Radja, only this time he was invited to eat at a fancy restaurant like this, he said, the first time and maybe the last time.
Food has been served according to the message by Radja.
The two immediately enjoyed the lunch menu with a silent atmosphere without chat.
...
"This is the key to the house and the car I returned to you" Radja told Riani.
"Why did you give it all to me?"
"Because everything is right for you and our children..."
"But I'm not going to occupy that house Mas, I'm probably going to move house in some place further away"
"Where are you moving? and why should it be somewhere far away Dek?! radja was surprised.
"I just want to take my son in the right place for his development, and I'm sorry...I can't tell you where our new place is"
"Then how can I see and talk to my son?"
"Let's remember, Mas, I will not break the blood relationship between the child and his father, although moved but our communication will continue and at certain times you can also meet your child"
"So...heart you've been steady with your decision to part with me Dek?"
Riani just nodded weakly.
Radja let out a breath that he felt was heavier.
"What are my terms?"
"I'll say the terms, and every condition I'll ask if you can or not?"
"Then if I can't stand your terms later?"
"I'm sure you can accept and be willing with this vision of mine, if you can't then sorry to disappoint you, I won't grant that wish"
"okay...Okay, now tell me what the conditions are?" riani said, impatiently.
"The first condition is that I will divorce you religiously first, while to legally follow after our child is born and listed on our family card, how?"
"I'm willing, next condition?"
"After our son is born and we're legally separated, I want you to get married again soon"
"What?! why do I have to marry again, which is really you?!
"There's a reason why I told you to remarry, it's because I want my son not to lack the affection of a father, even if it's for me to keep going, because I realize, as his real father, as his real father, I'm not a good father to him." replied Radja with a sad look.
"Then how do you know if he's your replacement, he's a good person?"
"Because I'm sure this man I chose is a good man and will love our son sincerely and take good care of him"
"The man you chose? so I mean, I have to get married again but with the man of Mas's choice? are you really, Mom?! riani replied with a tone that started to sound emotional.
"I chose your future husband is also not careless Dek, I have met him several times and obviously you also know him"
"Who is he really?"
"Teddy"
"What?!
"Well, he's Teddy, he's the right man to be our son's father, and my heart will be calmer if my son is taken care of by him"
"But, why Teddy...?!"
"Because he's a good man, I know that, and obviously his status is single, not a man's husband!" Radja replied firmly and filled with emphasis.
"I mean...?" Riani asked, she caught no implied meaning from Radja's sentence.
"Should I have said it clearly, that I didn't like and was jealous of Ethan, who kissed you on the beach that day? and should I say that I've seen it all?" radja answered in my heart.
"Mas?!
The voice of Riani who called out to him immediately made Radja wake up from his momentary daydream.
"The point is, I want a man who will replace me as a father for my son later, has a clear status so that later it will not be a problem, the point is I want the best for my son"
"But, what about Teddy himself? did Mas talk to him? anyway you need approval from him too Mas"
"That's why you don't have to worry, I've met and asked him, and he's agreed"
"What?!"
"Yes, he has agreed, how, are you willing and accept my second condition?"
...
"Sir...?"
"Well, I agree" replied Riani, although a bit heavy but Riani could only accept it, because she also knew what kind of person Teddy was, and she was also sure that Teddy would love his son.
"And on the third condition, I want for the last time we stay together in our house two days and one night, I want us to live a normal life like any other family, even if it's only for a moment but I really expect it, I beg Dek..."
Riani thought for a moment after hearing the request from Radja, her husband.
He thinks what's wrong with him granting Radja's request for the last time, after all, the status of both of them until now is still husband and wife, so there is no risk and loss.
"All right..."
"really?! thanks Dek, then when are we gonna start?"
Radja looks very happy and enthusiastic.
"I don't know yet Mas, if in the near future I can't, because I'm still busy taking care of things"
"Aren't you always busy with yourself?" ceplos Radja, feeling disappointed.
"How come I didn't concern myself, that Mas himself was busy with Mas's own world with the women out there!" riani replied with emotion.
Radja soon realizes, however early the fault lies with him.
And if you continue the debate, it will only trigger a fight back, let alone the emotions of pregnant women are very sensitive and vulnerable.
"Yes...Yes, I'm sorry, the problem is up to you, call me if you have free time" Radja said in a soft voice, trying to dampen Riani's emotions.
"Later I call mas, if I have time, now I want to go to the toilet first Mas"
"Well, is it necessary to go between decks?"
"don't worry, I can do it myself"
"Alright, be careful Deck"
Riani nodded, then she got up from her seat and walked out.
At the sight of Riani's back disappearing behind the door, there was a deep feeling of guilt and regret in Radja's heart.
How foolish he was to have hurt and wasted a good wife like Riani, when many men around Riani wished for her and wished to be with her, but...
"I'm a stupid man...I'm sorry Deck..."
The inner cry of Radja...
