"After this David returns to mommy's house, baby!" said Brian softly. David's smile faded.
"Why? Does Daddy mind David's presence?" ask the little boy. He looked at his daddy driving.
"Don't you love me, your mommy would be sad if David didn't come home?" said Brian.
"But.." said David cut off.
"But why, baby?" ask Brian.
"But David still sprained mommy, mommy did not want to bother David's request." The little boy snatched.
"David can't be like mommy! Did David ever see a sad mommy?" ask Brian.
David shakes. He lowered his head while puffing out both of his cheeks.
"If David doesn't want mommy to be sad, then fill the desire to be mommy, whatever mommy says is good for David, mommy and daddy," said Brian. The man smiled as he stroked David's head from his left hand while the other hand held the steering wheel of the car.
"Daddy, why can't we be together? I just want to feel the happiness that David's friends feel. Is David wrong to want us to live together like David's friends?" ask the boy with tears.
"David's not wrong baby, wrong is daddy." Brian smiled softly.
"What is Daddy wrong?" ask David.
"David's still too small, son, to understand everything." Brian turned his gaze away from David, he focused on looking at the streets because every time he remembered Gracia, then only a picture of regret could he see. He did not want to look cute in front of his favorite son.
"Dad, we go straight back to the mommy mansion huh! David didn't buy ice cream" David said.
"We bought ice cream at the supermarket! Later David can eat it in the car," said Brian.
"Thank you, Daddy!" said David sparkling
"Baby-sama!" brian smiled back at David.
After a 30-minute journey. Finally Brian's car arrived at Gracia's mansion.
David immediately shouted to his mommy. But, who opened the door of the mansion is not his mommy but Sumi's bik, David immediately ran to his mommy room. While Brian immediately turned around to leave the mansion.
However, his steps came to a halt as Pradita prevented him.
"Wait!" pradita. Brian turned around, then looked at Pradita who was walking over.
"Why Mom?" asked Brian to smile.
"Sit down, son! Mommy wants to talk to you for a second" Pradita said.
Brian smiled then stepped into the living room following Pradita. The middle-aged woman sat across from Brian, staring intensely at Brian.
"Aren't you going to see Gracia?" Pradita opens the conversation.
"Gracia why Mom? Wasn't this morning okay? He came to the mansion to meet David. However, David refused until he returned. So I persuaded David that he would understand our relationship that we could no longer be together" Brian said.
"Why are you desperate, son?" ask Pradita.
"I know you still love Gracia and it looks so clear from the look in your eyes" Pradita continued.
"What should I do Mom? If her happiness isn't me!" said Brian.
"I can only make him sad, he has had enough because of me. I don't want to be a hindrance to his happiness." Brian continues.
"I'd love to see Mom, but what if she gets angry when she sees Brian's face? I can't see her sad face anymore." Brian lowered his head.
"Cia's sleeping, see if you want to see her. Cia has a high fever and is always delirious. Listen to what Cia said when she was unconscious!" Pradita smiles.
The woman hoped that her daughter would soon find her happiness. However, Gracia seemed to have no purpose to pursue happiness. He seemed shackled in a dilemma that he could not choose in his life.
Finally Brian ventured to visit the woman he loved. He stepped into Cia's room, after arriving at the room, he saw David crying over his mommy without a sound. Brian entered the room, then hugged his beloved son.
David suddenly sobbed. However, David stopped his crying, upon hearing Gracia muttering indistinctly.
"Mommy" said David. The boy turned his head and let go of his daddy hug.
"Your mommy is just delirious, baby" said Brian, smiling at his son who was holding back tears.
"Later when your mommy wakes up, David apologizes to mommy! Let mommy heal quickly and not sad anymore" said Brian softly.
David nodded his head. While Pradita who was on the doorstep smiled seeing Brain's gentle demeanor on David. He went into Gracia's room and took David with him. While Brian still at home sitting next to his ex-wife, looking at him gently.
"I'm sorry I hurt you so much! I promise that even if we can't be together, I'll never take David away from you even though I love him so much" Brian said.
"I have no right to him, even though I am his real father because I was never there when you needed me. You don't have to worry, David will always be with you" Brian smiled.
The man was standing up to leave the room. However, his hand was held back by Gracia which made the man turn his head.
"Don't leave me!" Gracia was still closing her eyes with tears still flowing profusely.
Deg.
Brian turned around, then sat back down beside Gracia. He looked at his ex-wife with a sad look.
"I don't know what you're feeling right now! But, can I hope you hold me back in the real world?" murmured Brian. The man was not tired of looking at Gracia's pale face.
After seeing Gracia calm down again, Brian took off his hand on the man's wrist, took it off slowly, then moved back from the bed. He stroked Gracia's forehead gently, then stepped away leaving Gracia still in deep sleep, Anton accidentally injected sleeping pills into Gracia's body, so that the woman had enough rest.
"Honey," said Brian to his son when he saw David pensively sitting on the terrace of the mansion.
Brian approached and sat down next to David. "Why here?" Brian stroked David's hair.
"I'm just gonna get some fresh air!" said the plain boy.
"If you're looking for fresh air, it's not here, baby, but in the park!" said Brian.
"I'm males Dad, to the park. The air is fresh here too?" said David plain.
"What are you thinking? You're like an adult!" said Brian.
"Daddy knows exactly what David wants, but Daddy always pretends not to know" David said.
"Darling, you remember what daddy said? David don't worry, we will always love David even if we don't live together" Brian said.
The man develops a smile on David to cheer up his lap, though he is also deeply hurt by Gracia and Anton's engagement. He tried to push it even though it was difficult.
