Married a Single Mother
MSM 31'S

Meanwhile, Jelita was quite calm today after making a pilgrimage to her father's grave. Even though at the tomb, his tears spilled uncontrollably. Given all the struggles his father used to work hard to be able to send himself to college. But all that was lost when the catastrophe came crashing down. Until in the end he had to lose the hero figure because of the news of his pregnancy out of wedlock.

Now Jelita's feeling is a little calmer than last night while on the way to this city. I don't know, after this Jelita has to go where. Hitchhiking at Om Arvin's house is also not good, although the man himself has asked him to stay here. Because Jelita was not too close to his father's stepbrother. it's just that Jelita knows that Om Arvin is a very good person. Let him think about it later. Now it is better to help cook in the kitchen alone. Ethan happened to be invited Om Arvin to go to the mini market to buy snacks.

Arvin has just entered his yard after taking Ethan out for snacks. The man today was very happy because Jelita arrived with his son. Yes, although Ethan looks still afraid of him, but the boy did not refuse when invited to go to the mini market.

“Come, Ethan we go in first!” take Arvin with Ethan's hand to enter the house.

Not yet Arvin entered the house.suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the gate, because he saw himself from outside. Arvin frowned when he saw the foreign man, he felt unfamiliar or had a friend whose face was chirpy.

“Om Affa!!” suddenly Ethan screams with excitement at the sight of the stranger.

Arvin immediately holds Ethan and approaches the man who turns out to be Raffael. Ethan is still yelling Raffael's name. Ethan is very close to Raffael.

“There can I help?” arvin asked politely after opening the gate.

“Sorry. I want to meet Jelita. Hi, Ethan!” raffael answered as he waved his hand at Ethan.

Arvin is still silent, he doesn't want to ask much about who Raffael is. Although he already knew about Jelita's past. But he also could not accuse haphazardly that Raffael was the man who impregnated Jelita.

“Whose name are you?” ask Arvin before letting Raffael in.

“I Raffael. Jelita's husband-to-be.”

Arvin was very surprised to hear Raffael's answer just now. I don't know why he felt that way, but for sure, the man with the status of a widower was very happy when Jelita arrived with Ethan this morning.

“Ya already, please come in!” arvin finally said. Ethan has now moved to Raffael's arms.

Arvin invites Raffael to wait in the living room. While he called Jelita who was heard in the kitchen with his assistant.

“Lita!” call her slowly to the figure of a woman who is engrossed in her cooking activities.

“Om is home? Ethan where?” jelita asked to pause her activities.

“There is in the living room with his father-to-be.”

“Already, better go out and meet your future husband.” Arvin said with an indecipherable face.

Jelita herself stared in wonder at her omnya. But he was very curious, who came to see him. Although she is still aware of her status which will soon be Raffael's wife. But I don't know, Jelita felt reluctant to continue the relationship after knowing that her future husband was actually friendly with the man who had made his life ruined.

Jelita's eyes glazed over as she watched Raffael seem engrossed in playing with Ethan. It was an early goal for him to accept Raffael only because of Ethan. But after an incident like this, whether Jelita will cancel her wedding plan, he also automatically took away the happiness of Ethan who was close to Raffael.

“Mas Raffa!”

Raffael who is busy accompanying Ethan play stops for a moment when he hears the voice of the woman who since last night was very much missed. Raffael then lets Ethan play by himself, while he approaches the woman.

“Jelita? How are you doing? I searched for you everywhere last night. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.”

Jelita was still silently staring at the netra Raffael who showed a tired look mixed with sadness. Then he chose to leave the house to the terrace. He did not want his talk to be heard by his son. Raffael followed Jelita.

“I already know everything.” Raffael said after the two had been silent for a while.

“If you already know, why did you come here? we better get here.” said Jelita quite calm, but he did not dare to look Raffael in the eyes. His decision was most appropriate. Raffael befriends the man who has snatched away his crown. What will happen if he continues to maintain his relationship with Raffael. Although for Ethan's sake. The one with his heart will hurt even more if he remembers the bad events.

“What are you talking about, Jelita? What is the reason you chose to end our relationship? nay! I'm against your decision.we'll get married soon.You don't worry about Mario. I've given him a lot of lessons worth doing to you.”

“But this has been my decision, and I have thought about it carefully, Mas. I don't want to ruin your friendship with him. Moreover, the relationship between your parents is also very close. I don't want to be a barrier to it all. Even though I am the victim here. May Mas find another woman who is better than me.” said Jelita then remove the ring embedded in her ring finger.
