Marriage With (Out) Love
Chapter 64 - The Secrets Revealed

As Okta struggles to get Windi's blessing, her former sister-in-law throws a bomb. A bomb capable of destroying Okta is left unresponsive.

That night Windi sent USG as well as evidence that Vika had been pregnant and declared a miscarriage. Nothing hurts more than this horrible news. Okta was struck with guilt, as if God continued to punish her for all the pain she had given Vika.

Okta returns home to Elnara's parents feeling devastated. How can he confidently make Vika happy, while the source of the woman's suffering is himself.

"Mas Okta?" Elnara who happened to wake up stared in shock at the figure of Okta who was sitting pensively in the darkness.

Okta turned her head and Elnara realized the look in the man's eyes looked different, there was guilt and despair in those eyes. Elnara realizes one thing, Okta already knows Vika's secret.

Elnara approached and sat down beside Okta. She knew her cousin's sister was in need of a backrest and Elnara was ready to be the man's back.

"Mas knows?" ask Elnara slowly.

"Yes .. it feels so stifling." Okta replied softly, she lowered her head as if permeating her pain.

"What would you do?" ask Elnara again.

Okta shook her head slowly, she herself did not know what to do. The guilt seemed to haunt him.

"Let's talk about this with Vika, you guys have to be open to each other. El is sure that after opening up and sharing your wounds you will feel better. Remember, no matter how bad our past is, we can't change it. Make this a lesson for Mas to make your relationship work."

"You're right, thanks for helping. Tomorrow Mas will meet with Vika and talk about everything, Mas hope we both receive this wound."

Elnara smiled warmly, gently patting Okta on the shoulder. Elnara hopes for better relations between Okta and Vika. Elnara knows the two are equally in love, but their complicated past gets them stuck.

Today Okta and Vika agreed to meet and discuss their issues. Both want to end their dark times.

"Actually I just found out that I was pregnant while in Mas village. Everything feels short, I am pregnant which unfortunately my content is weak due to stress. Many fears haunt me, how will the fate of my son be? Will they accept it or refuse? The question seemed to keep spinning and make me even more depressed."

Vika looked away, remembering the painful moments for her. The guilt haunted him all the time. Vika cries, remembering her pain when the child she was carrying had to fall because of the various pressures she experienced

"I'm wrong Mas, I should have accepted our child happily and not have to think about anything else. Every time I feel guilty, why can't I be a good mother?"

Okta clasped Vika's hand tightly, they were both frightened and in pain. Both were hurt by the guilt that kept creeping through the heart.

"Why don't you know Mas, Vika?" Okta asked me.

"I can't stand it, I'm afraid you're going to reject our son. I remember that Mas wasn't ready to have children that's why I thought of keeping this alone. At that time I thought that I did not want to have any ties with Mas. I didn't want to feel guilty, but I was wrong. Here, we're both hurt and hurt."

"Sorry ... Forgive me for all the injuries you've received." Okta hugged Vika tightly and cried in the woman's arms.

"I'm sorry because I can't look after our child." Vika whispered softly as she tightened her embrace at Okta.

The two cried sharing the wounds. Both of them hoped that after all this they would be able to reconcile what had happened. They must live life by stepping forward and not protracted drowning in grief.

"Help Mas reassure Kak Windi, this time Mas really can't let you off. You want to, don't you?" Okta let go of her embrace then carefully wiped away Vika's tears that kept flowing.

"Yes, let's fight together. I'm sure one day Sis Windi will be devastated, she just wants what's best for me." They hugged back tightly, this time with a more relieved feeling.

Without them noticing there was a figure of Windi secretly hearing everything. Windi came crying, he was the one who was injured when he saw how devastated Vika was.

For months Vika tried to get out of her pain. Windi wants Vika to be happy and the happiness of her sister is in the figure of Okta, the man Vika loves.
