1 week ago...
Milan, Italy.
Alardo Philander
"I'll let you meet your son.. " My wife was crying, on the side I was telling her about a reality that I've been keeping for a dozen years.
The fact that I have had a child from another woman.
"I'm sorry.. "
"I will only accept your son, but not that woman! "
"Grazias my wife.I'm going to Indonesia for a few weeks.You can ask Alexa and our granddaughter to accompany you at home.. federic and I will try to persuade my youngest son to come to Italy.. "
My wife kept quiet and left me, and she went into the room slamming the door hard.
Braaac.
For decades of marriage, the first time he was angry was.During this time he was a gentle and caring woman.
This is all my fault.. In the past, I promised to return to Baiq within 1 month, but it turns out my wife here has trouble caring for my second child Alexa.
I can't leave him with my first baby and 5-year-old son because at the same time my son was born.
A year after Alexa's birth, we moved from Rome to Milan to my parents' house. My company has colapsed and suffered tremendous losses.
2 Years later when Alexa was 3 years old, I decided to return to Indonesia looking for Baiq's whereabouts.
But after I arrived in Jakarta, my apartment turned out to be empty for many years.Thus I finally decided to go to Lombok. For a month I searched for her whereabouts, but there was not a single trace of her that I got.
Even when I got the address in the village of Sade, the neighbor said that he had long gone from there and moved to Sumbawa. I decided to go back to Milan, and started to be busy building my company from scratch.
Deep down, I still love you and miss you. Less than a month together.. I remember you every day and never forget all of our togetherness.
For years I have been looking for you with limitations. Finally my first child can find you. And what makes me feel more guilty is that you're pregnant with my son.
I'm sorry Baiq..
How can he make up for all my mistakes?
***
This is where I am now, in Bandung Indonesia.
Federic told me all about you. How you have been a victim of global human trafficking for years..
Federic also told us about our son whom you named Dusk. All her company..
If only I could atone for all my sins against you. I'll give you everything I have so you and Dusk can forgive me.
"Padre..is padre sure to see Baiq and my sister now? even though Dusk did not hate me like he did when he first met, but he was a stubborn child. " Task Federic, as we were on our way to my son's Dusk apartment, where Baiq was staying at the moment.
"Padre wanted to meet them. It has been 20 years Ric. padre left Baiq with many wounds and suffering.."
"But I'm not sure they can forgive easily. " My son's pessimistic.
"Will padre try.. "
"But. health padre is not so good. should still rest and undergo therapy.. "
"It's okay.. " I turned my head towards the street, my mind glared to the memory of 20 years ago.
Baiq is so beautiful and young. I couldn't believe I fell in love so easily when I was 35.
"Padre will hand over one of our companies in Venice.. Though treasure cannot atone for all the sins padre had on them. "
Federic just fell silent, he focused on driving and looked straight ahead.
Ting..Vat..
I stomped the apartment bell, and waited with great anxiety. My heart beats erratically because soon I will meet the woman I left behind for 20 years.
Cliques.
"Who's Dusk? " I heard that voice... The voice I miss so much.
I gasp.
The one who opened the door was my son..
My youngest son.
"Baiqis... "
Baiq and my son Dusk were stunned and fixated on the spot.I saw Baiq was so shocked that finally a few seconds later his body collapsed weakly drooping on the floor.
"Yumuuu.. " Dusk approached her and grabbed Baiq's body into her arms.
"Monday... I will help your mom.(.I'll help your mother) "I'll dare to call my son's name.
But he didn't care about me and took Baiq into one of the rooms.
"Baiqis.. " I called the name a second time, and circulated the view.See every corner of the room.
After entering the room and approaching them, I saw that my son was trying to make Baiq aware.
"I don't know you.. I beg you to leave this place now! (i don't know you, please leave this place now!) "
With the gaze and glare of the gray-sharp eyes exactly the same as mine.he chased me away and told me to get out of here.
My heart really hurt seeing the two of them, given their suffering all along.
This treatment I deserve as a man and father who have been irresponsible.
"Son's... " I tried to convince my son, and I wanted to get close to him.
"Never call me your son.. I don't have a father! (don't call me son, I don't have a father!)
Deg.
I couldn't stand the pain in my heart anymore, but I tried to be undaunted.
"Sorry for all the mistakes..I'm apologize! (excuse me for all the mistakes of my father.I apologize!).
"Mother.. Let's get up mom! " Dusk did not respond to my apology, and in a panic he looked for something.
"I will help her.." I approached and walked closer to Baiq.
" Don't touch her! don't touch anything on her! (Don't touch mom. Don't worry about anything that's on you! )"With his stout height, he blocked my steps and put on a defiant face.
"Please.. Leave Us! " Expel her again firmly while pointing towards the door.
"Padre... " Federic walked into the apartment and grabbed my hand. " Dusk. no matter what, he's still your father! "
I tightened my hand and signaled my first child to give up this time, "I'll be back soon.. " I said, with a heavy heart as I walked towards the exit.
"Are you ok padre? " Task Federic while helping me get to the elevator.
"It's Ok son. this is all my fault, I'am desire it. " With a shunt step, I tried to endure the pain in my heart.
We left the apartment with a million feelings in my heart.
Longs..
The pain..
It was like hugging them and if necessary kneeling before them, to ask for an apology.
I'll be back Baiq..
And Dad will be back by dusk soon..
I will do everything I can to make amends for your mistakes.
