Married a Single Mother
48 MSM

Raffael is taking Jelita and Ethan to the mall. Since getting married a few weeks ago, Raffael has never once taken his wife and son out for a walk. Because at that time Jelita was not okay due to her past trauma. Worried about meeting Mario again, Jelita's trauma has healed after the woman is able to make peace with her past, namely meeting Mario and forgiving the man's mistakes.

The news of Raffael and Jelita's marriage has been heard by all Reno company employees. Some of Raffael's business associates also know. The marriage of the two of them was indeed impromptu, enough to make them all surprised. But not until bad news is heard that becomes the material of public consumption. Because from the beginning all Raffael employees also already know that Jelita, the woman who had worked as a cake deliveryman was the future wife of their superiors.

Although Raffael and Jelita's wedding was held impromptu, Jelita did not want her husband to hold a large reception as planned. Abi and Reno were actually eager to hold the reception, but if the daughter-in-law did not want to, they would not force it either. It's just that Jelita wants to divert the reception by sharing with the children of the orphanage.

Abi and Reno did not expect with the caring attitude of her daughter-in-law. They are truly grateful to have a daughter-in-law like Jelita. Although the views of others there is still little to denounce it. A single mother married a single mother. Surely bad allegations about Jelita who wants to take advantage of Raffael's wealth had blown from a small number of people who do not like Jelita.

Raffael's car has now arrived at the basement mall. Since then Ethan has been constantly cheering happily when told by his mother that he will be invited to go for a walk. Understandably, so far Jelita has never invited her baby to go for a walk in the shopping center as it is today. Obviously a variety of games there are available in full. And Ethan is very happy.

Raffael gets out of the car carrying Ethan. The boy even continued to wriggle from his father's barks because he wanted to walk alone. Jelita forbade it.

“Don't let him walk, Mas! Later when you arrive at timezone.” Jelita was worried.

Ethan is a very active boy. Moreover, he had never once come to a place like this before. Of course there is a sense of worry about Jelita. Afraid that his son would run in the crowd that passed by.

“Just calm down, you don't worry! Let's go walk. You took my hand, huh?” raffael answered calmly.

Jelita nodded too. She walks by with her husband's right arm, while Ethan is calmer in his father's arms.

Arriving at the children's game center, Raffael immediately takes down Ethan. He lets Ethan play as much as he can on a kid Ethan's age. Of course, with the security and safety that is guaranteed. While Jelita and Raffael only monitor from the seat that has been provided. Sometimes Jelita approached her son, worried if running around and colliding with other children.

“Darling, you wait here first, huh? I bought you a snack and a drink for Ethan.” Raffael approached his wife who was near Ethan.

Jelita just nodded, and then she kept an eye on Ethan.

Not far from where Jelita was watching Ethan play, there was a man who had been watching them since. He is Mario.

Mario has since learned that Raffael is taking Jelita and Ethan to a children's playground. From far away he saw the happy looking face of his son. He wanted to go up to Ethan and hold him. Because since his meeting with Jelita some time ago, until now Mario has not been given the opportunity to meet with his flesh and blood. If he desperately wants to approach Ethan right now, Mario is afraid that Jelita will be angry. Mario can only see from a distance.

“Ehm! Why are you here?”

Mario immediately looked back when he heard the voice of someone familiar in his ear. Turns out Raffael was carrying some snacks and ice cream cups.

“Oh..” sahut Raffael brief. The guy's pretty sensitive. Mario must have also been seeing his wife who was accompanying Ethan playing.

“Do you want to meet Ethan?” raffael asked, making Mario surprised.

“What can I do? Because at that time Jelita did say that she would meet me with Ethan. But I don't know when.”

Raffael finally invites Mario to a children's playground where Ethan is playing. Maybe it's time for Mario to meet his son.however the man has the right to love his own flesh and blood. Regardless of the past that Mario inscribed on Jelita is still imprinted on Raffael's heart.

Jelita was very surprised when she saw her husband coming with Mario. However, Jelita's feelings look different. Not as afraid as before he made peace with the man.it might be a little awkward, because this is the second time they have made up.

“Mario wants to meet Ethan, honey. Let him keep an eye on Ethan there. Let's sit down!” take Raffael and tell Jelita.

There is a strange feeling in Mario when he sees Raffael treating Jelita gently. But after that he tried to fortify his heart so that nothing bad happened that was not desired.

Jelita nodded faintly towards Mario. Then she came with her husband sitting not far from the playground.

Mario approached Ethan who was playing. The man does not necessarily introduce himself as Ethan's real father. Just let him be close to Ethan, for whose business he is and Ethan should call him what, let Jelita tell his son.

Raffael and Jelita see from afar Ethan's interaction with Mario. There is discomfort in Raffael's heart when he sees Mario with Ethan. An uncomfortable feeling that leads to the fear of losing his wife.

“Thank you, Mas for the spaciousness of your heart. I love you more.” Jelita said suddenly and managed to make Raffael's heart relieved.
