S2 DON'T SAY THINGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU REGRET

"STOP!!"

Mia's feelings were unstoppable again. Eyes glazed. Clear circles ready to slide without being prevented. Revan's words were so stifling to the chest.

Revan himself was confused. Shouldn't Mia be happy to be free from him?

"Zico is my son. I'm not stopping you from being with him either. Because you deserve her too. But that doesn't mean you can separate me from my son."

"But that way you can have a peaceful marriage. I'm not going to forbid you from seeing Zico whenever you want, Mia... "

"Enough, Mom! don't say anything that will make you regret it. It's not enough that you're destroying Zea's feelings by separating from Syma. And at this time... Mas also wants to destroy Zico's feelings by losing his mother? I'm not gonna let that happen."

"But-"

"I beg you not to separate me from my son, Mas. If you hate me, please hit me. If you're tired of seeing me, please find another woman you want to marry. I won't mind as long as my son is around."

Unexpectedly, Mia was even resting at her feet. With sobs that made his body tremble. Revan was very surprised by this. Mia had mistaken herself. Revan's feelings were also shattered seeing this woman getting worse.

Revan lifts Mia's body and holds both of the woman's shoulders. Staring at him in the shade with both fingers gently rubbed his tears. Revan also felt tightness in his chest because it had made his woman cry.

"You misunderstood, Mia. I didn't mean it that way. I just want you to be happy. And Azkhan is the right man."

Mia shakes. "I'm happy with my son. I'm happy with you, Mas..."

Revan looked at him in disbelief. "With me? what makes you happy when you are with me? have you forgotten how I treated you all along. Have you forgotten how all these wounds on your body can exist. It was me, Mia. Don'tcrazy. Go with Azkhan he loves you."

"I can't" said Mia, interrupted by her sobs.

"You will be happy. Zico will visit you often."

"No... " Mia kept insisting.

Revan breathed out his rage. Confused to face a woman who is difficult to guess like Mia.

"Why? what reason? you won't lose your son, Mia. I'll-"

"Because I love you guys."

Deg

Revan froze in his place. You guys? does that mean Revan is included?

"You guys?" Revan. I can't believe what he just heard.

"Yes, I love you both. I don't want to lose anymore. I gave up on myself to let you go, Mas. But the truth is that until now, I couldn't even. I can't... " Mia's getting sobbing.

Revan tightened his hand. How unbelievable he is with all this.

"After everything I've done, you still love me Mia?" Revan looked at him in the shade. Her eyes were reddening either withstanding crying or what.

Mia nodded.

"Stupid! what's on your mind, Mia? isn't there just a little bit of pain in your head wanting to take revenge on me and turn around to hurt me?"

"Of course there is. My mind always commands me to avenge all your deeds, Mas. But I can't. My heart always says, even if I had a thousand chances to hurt you, I wouldn't."

Revan can't hold it anymore. The man pulled Mia into his arms. Tears of regret flooded him. He thinks it's too late.

"Can I get your love, Mia... I'm too dirty for that. I'm far from worthy" Revan said softly. Spilling all the stuff in her chest.

"We can start everything from scratch, Mommy."

Revan tightened his embrace. Occasionally kissing the top of his wife's head. They are so absorbed in their feelings. Revan didn't want to release Mia for a second. Zico's voice surprised them.

"MAMA?! why are you hugging while crying?" Zico looked at the two so innocently.

Zico looked towards the remaining sandwich that was almost finished. "If you know why it is still eaten. It's almost over."

Ah shit, Mia forgot that Zico's meticulousness is the same as Revan's.

"That's it. We better get back to sleep. It's so late." Revan mediates them. And made a smile on Mia's face.

"Can Zico sleep with Uncle tonight?"

Suddenly it makes Revan surprised and happy. "Of course I can."

"But why?" Mia interrupted not to be left alone.

"It's okay, Ma."

"Already, Mia. Let her be with me tonight."

Mia sighed. Let them go. Mia looked at the backs of the two with a meaningful smile. Hopefully after this everything will be fine. However, Revan must approach Zico slowly. Let the child know who he is and accept him sincerely.

****

Revan takes place next to Zico. Lie down facing him.

"Uncle, actually Zico lied to Mama."

Revan knitted his brows. "On what basis?"

"Zico is tired of hearing Mama cry every night. I don't know what makes him sad, Zico himself is confused."

"Mama's been crying a lot since you guys lived here?"

Zico. "Not really. Even before we're here."

Revan was silent for a moment. Then Zico's voice came back to surprise him.

"Uncle, will you be Papa Zico?"

The request made Revan round his eyes. Revan did not have time to answer, the boy again said, "Pity Mama. I think Mama likes uncle. Mama often smiles when putting together uncle's clothes. Zico's seen him smell uncle's shirt."

Revan was overwhelmed by it. It turned out that it was true that the woman had loved him in silence. Love that hurts him but keeps him alive.

"Zico please. "the boy's plea made Revan even more anxious. Revan hugged his son affectionately. Occasionally peeking at the top of his head.

"I'm your father, Zico... I'm your real parent."

"What?"

Revan nodded seriously. The boy looked at her confused. "Really Nak. I am your real Father. Not Azkhan or anyone. I'm your parents."

"But why didn't you say it in the first place?"

"The new father knows from your mother. You are my son, only my son." Revan hugged her tightly.

The innocent little boy smiled. He doesn't understand what Revan really means. Just hearing that he had a father, Zico was overjoyed. Until Revan hugs her back.

"Zico's happy to have a real Papa."

Revan never stopped kissing his son. With happiness that is hard to explain. He thinks Zico will be hard to accept. But he was wrong. The boy asked him to be his own parent.

So many surprises on this day that Revan passed. I did not expect that his feelings were reversed. Not expecting that God still gave him a chance to change fixed everything.

And Revan does not cease to give thanks for the favors that he himself feels do not deserve.

They finally fell asleep. By hugging each other.
