Married a Single Mother
MSM 32

Raffael is shocked to see Jelita taking off her engagement ring. He did not accept the relationship ran aground just like that, even though the happy day was in sight. Raffael quickly approached Jelita preventing the woman from removing the ring.

“No! You can't do it! We'll get married soon! I don't care about my friendship with Mario. I don't have a friend a baj***an like her.” After that Raffael immediately hugged Jelita's body tightly.

Jelita's defense collapsed. Her lips could easily tell to end her relationship with Raffael. But not with his heart. A woman who has lived in solitude for a long time and never once felt in love with the opposite sex, Jelita does not understand her current feelings for Raffael. Although he had a brief introduction to the man, it managed to bring its own effects to his heart.

Jelita sobbed in Raffael's arms. His heart is really fragile. Why must be faced with a very complicated condition like this. how will the response of both parents Raffael after knowing everything. Could Reno and Abi still give her blessing, or quite the opposite. Because as far as Jelita knows, Papa Raffael is a good friend of the man who had been his superior when he was an apprentice. Yes, Chiko.

While Arvin who had heard all the talk of Raffael and Jelita, including until now the two men were silent without a word, Arvin knew enough even though he did not see. Finally she chose to go inside her room with an inexplicable feeling.

Tonight at Reno's residence there's a guest. The guest was Reno's best friend and also his wife. Who else if not Chiko and Chelsea.

Usually both Reno and Abi always warmly welcome the arrival of their best friend, but, since yesterday, their attitude has changed slightly. Reno doesn't want to hate Chiko. But because of the actions of Mario that made him behave like that, especially since Chiko and Chlesea was still silent in front of Reno and Abi.

“If there is nothing you want to say, you better just go home!” said Reno who felt anxious to her best friend.

“Raffa where, Ren?” ask Chiko.

“What are you looking for Raffa for? He is fighting for his love because of your son.” Reno replied with a cynical look.

“Already, Ren! Let this be the business of our children. I don't want our friendly relations our children destroyed just because of this problem.” Chiko said lightly.

“What do you mean Brother Chiko? It's easy to say that, regardless of my daughter-in-law's feelings. As a result of Mario, Raffa almost lost Jelita.” Abi said with anger already in his crown.

Reno, who saw the look of his wife's tension, tried to calm her down by gently rubbing her hand. Reno also did not accept the words Chiko just now.however he still sided with his son. Raffael is a good man. So is Jelita, a good woman, strong and tough.

“Begini, Vi. Forgive my husband's words. Mas Chiko doesn't want our friendship broken. So, I came here to see Raffael so he could let Jelita go. Let Mario take responsibility for his actions to Jelita. Moreover, Jelita's child is the flesh blood of Mario.” Chelsea said that increasingly made Abi inflamed.

“Better you guys just go from here! I'm more willing to lose my best friend than my son's happiness. You all have no heart. Where did Mario go once he had Jelita destroyed, huh?” Abi is increasingly unable to control his emotions. Even Reno hugged his wife to stop venting his emotions.

Chiko and Chelsea finally came home from Reno's house empty handed. He came with a good purpose. Moreover, seeing the condition of Mario is very sad because it is filled with so deep regret due to his past actions.

Chelsea who from the beginning had admired the figure of Jelita, he was also disappointed because he did not manage to bring good news to his son. let alone Jelita already had a child who was none other than Mario's flesh and blood. Automatically Jelita's son is his grandson.

“Already, don't be sad! None of this is easy. Mario is also guilty.” Chiko said as she gently rubbed his wife's arm.

“But I like Jelita, Mas. However, Mario is more entitled to be responsible to Jelita. Especially if there is our grandson. I'm also not going to affect Mario's relationship with Merlyn. That haughty woman.”

Chiko could only exhale violently. She was completely at a loss to face the complicated situation created by her own son. Although his past with his wife is almost similar to Mario, at least he used to love Chelsea very much. The opposite is true for Chelsea. But for Mario's case this time. Mario had never known Jelita. Between the two of them there is no relationship. He should feel grateful when Jelita did not report Mario's actions to the authorities.

Moments later Chiko's car has reached home.he and his wife immediately enter the house.It turns out Mario was waiting for him in the living room. Hoping that both of his parents bring news that slightly relaxes his heart. Even though it is a small possibility that it happens.

“How's Ma, Pa?” asked Mario in a weak voice. His face still left several bruises from Raffael's punches yesterday and this morning.

“Forget your goodwill to be responsible to Jelita!” chiko answered briefly, and passed away leaving Mario.
