Married a Single Mother
MSM 44

Mario was silent at Raffael's words. Actually he was very happy to finally meet with Jelita to apologize to the woman for all the mistakes he made. But hearing Raffael's sentence saying that his best friend loved his wife so much, is that a sign that he did not have the opportunity to make amends to Jelita?

“I'll emphasize again. I love my wife so much I will do anything to make my wife comfortable and recover from the trauma of what you did. If you keep other intentions, I'd better cancel your meeting.I can still find another way to cure Jelita from her past. But not with you. Forever will live with a shadow of guilt and regret. Even your whole life.” Raffael is at length. After that, he immediately left Mario without even touching a drink that had been ordered by his best friend.

“Wait Raff!” Mario called Raffael who was just a few steps away from his dining table.

Without looking, Raffael stopped his steps. He was waiting for what Mario would say.

“Good. I met with Jelita just to apologize to her.” Mario lirih.

“Wait just! I'll call you back.” Raffael leaves Mario.

Jelita is in Ethan's room. Jelita everyday is only at home to accompany the child to play. Raffael has not allowed his wife to leave without direct supervision from him. Despite this, she is already quite comfortable at her in-laws' house. The boy was very happy because in his room a lot of toys were bought by Oma and Opanya.

Jelita gave a brief peek at Ethan's forehead who had just slept. Maybe tired of playing, finally the boy fell asleep. While Jelita no more activities that he can do during the day like this. Her mother-in-law is also going to her friends' show. Finally he called his mother.

Although he had not been able to go home again after his last meeting, Jelita often contacted the mother through a phone call.

This time Jelita called her mother to tell her the problem. Where he would meet someone who had ruined his future. He told about the trauma he had experienced so far, including not being able to be a full wife for Raffael.

Bu Sukma as a real mother Jelita felt guilty for his attitude towards Jelita. Because of his selfishness to make his son save the trauma alone. Then regarding Jelita's meeting with Mario later, Bu Sukma can only pray for the best for his son.if indeed by meeting Mario is the right solution, why not.

Jelita's heart was a little more relieved after pouring out her heart to the Mother. Now the pace is more steady to immediately meet with Mario, so that his life is also calm.

Cclek

Just as Jelita's call with her mother ended, someone opened Ethan's room door. It turns out he's Raffael.

“I'm looking for a message in the room is not there. It turns out here. has Ethan slept since?” raffael asked and sat down on the sofa with Jelita.

“Iya, Mas. Looks like he's tired of playing.”

Raffael smiles happily at Ethan who is very comfortable and at home living in his parents' house. He's sure Ethan won't lack affection. Moreover, his family received well Ethan's presence.

“Honey, are you ready to meet Mario?” raffael asked his wife.

After his meeting with Mario a few days ago, Raffael finally now asked Jelita's readiness. Because all that time he wanted to give his wife time to think.

“I.. I'm ready, Mas. The sooner the better. I want to recover from that trauma soon.” replied Jelita softly although her heart was a bit doubtful for fear of being reunited with Mario.

Jelita nodded too. Then Raffael said about his meeting with Mario will be held tonight as well. Jelita doesn't mind either.

***

Jelita and Mario's meeting tonight wasn't held outside. Except at Reno's house. While Ethan since this afternoon has been invited to go for a walk with Oma and Opanya. It's not that Raffael doesn't want to bring Mario to Ethan, it's just that he wants his wife's business done first. Only then was Mario allowed to meet with Mario.

Jelita is sitting alone in the living room. Raffael is waiting in another room to give Mario a chance to talk to Jelita. Despite this, Raffael can still monitor it.

Jelita's cold sweat began to pour out upon hearing the footsteps of someone walking closer towards her. He tried to stay relaxed and remember his original purpose. It wants to heal.

“Goodnight Jelita!” greet Mario by looking at the woman he once took away his future.

“Night!” jelita replied in a soft voice almost inaudible.

Mario took a seat not far from Jelita. The man also had trouble talking when he saw Jelita's sad face that was still looking away. But he was determined to come to apologize.

“Jelita, I know I am a dickhead who has inflicted deep wounds on you. Even my parents were angry at what I did to you. Including Raffael. My arrival here was purely because I wanted to apologize to you, Jelita. Living in regret is not easy. So, please with your humility, would you open the door sorry for me?” Mario said with a sad look on Jelita who had not seen him at all.

“I forgive you. I also do not want to live with the shadows of the past that is so bitter.” replied Jelita then ventured to look into the eyes of Mario.

Mario also returned the gaze of it. somehow by looking at Jelita's gaze, something was different with his heart. But he is aware of his position. Apalgi Jelita has become his best friend's wife.

“I'll also meet you with Ethan. He is your flesh and blood. But I hope you don't cross the line.” Jelita.

Mario reviews the relieved smile on his lips. Getting sorry from Jelita has become the most extraordinary thing in his life. Plus, he can meet Ethan. Her biological child. Mario promises in himself to obey Jelita's last sentence.

Mario stretched out his hand to Jelita in a sign that they had made peace and forgiven each other. Jelita also received a helping hand from Mario, but shook it briefly. Maybe he's not used to interacting with the guy.

“Thank you, Jelita!”
