My husband Tajir & Arogan (Season 1)
BAB XXXIV

Helena rests at her husband's feet in tears after Rafael and Delia leave them, the woman starts to say all about her goal of marrying Hartanto. Even he also admitted his actions so far that continued to drain Hartanto's property to restore the glory of his parents.

Her cries grew louder as she explained everything to her husband. He constantly apologized, asking for forgiveness from Hartanto for his actions so far.

"I've known everything Helena, and I've always forgiven you," Hartanto said to Helena's surprise.

"You know everything, what do you mean?" ask Helena.

Hartanto took a deep breath, "you think I don't know who you are Helena. I feel guilty for what I did to your family in the past. At that time, my wife asked me to atone for all my sins and told me to marry you. My wife who I love so much makes me helpless with her request."

Helena widened her eyes, "so all this time you know who I am, it's impossible. You let me into your family already planned in the first place? So all this..."

"Truely Helena," Hartanto cut, "that's the truth. I married you because I wanted to make you happy and take responsibility for your son that his father left behind because of me. I've also known all along how much you've moved my money into your fake account. I know everything you've done so far. I kept quiet, it was because I felt like my treasure was yours" he added.

Helena shook her head, she still could not believe everything. The woman looked at Hartanto questioningly.

"This is the greatest secret I've ever known about Helena. I married you because my wife's man, Rafael's mother was a very good woman. He doesn't want Widjaja's family to live in your family's karma."

Helena let go of her crying again, "why did you let me be an evil wife? Why didn't you say it from the beginning?"

Hartanto sighed, "my wife's message is to keep all this from you, she wants me to accept you, she wants me to accept whatever you do to atone for my sin, that message I can't deny Helena. Some of my property is yours" he replied.

Helena hugged Hartanto, "I regret what I did, I don't know when my feelings came up, but I really love you. And I want to age with you. Don't ask me to divorce you Hartanto, I won't be able to live without you. I don't care anymore about the treasure, I just want to be with you forever" she said in tears.

Hartanto returned his wife's embrace, the man cried, "I already know how you feel, I know everything you do to me is not a fake act. I'm not divorcing you Helena, you've been with me for over ten years. I also want you to age with me" he replied.

"I'm sorry and thank my husband, I promise I'll never do this stupidity again, we'll start over the rest of our lives" Helena said.

Hartanto let go of his embrace while nodding his head.

"What about Rafael?" ask Helena.

"You don't have to worry, my son is so mature, he left all these decisions in my hands. I'm so proud of him. And one more thing if you agree to it, we better send Firdaus to America so he can study at Harvard about business. Your son is now my son too, I want him to be able to work with Rafael. It was better than Rafael handing it over to the police station" Hartanto said.

Helena was surprised to hear her husband's decision, she did not expect Hartanto and Rafael would forgive Paradise as well.

"Of course I agree, you not only forgive him, but you also make the best decision for his future. The act of Firdaus was actually due to my orders, he was innocent in this matter. Now it is time for him to be independent by continuing his education abroad. He should know how important it is to know about the business. I was the one who was wrong to educate my son, ever since I entered your house, I instilled hatred in him" Helena said again sadly.

Hartanto clasped his wife's hand, trying to calm her down, "we're not too late Helena, I'm sure Firdaus can still turn into a good boy. There's one more thing we have to do for Rafael and Delia" he said.

"For Rafael and Delia? What are we supposed to do? You don't intend to make them separate, do you? I can see it, it looks like the woman deserves Rafael. Delia is a good woman and has good manners, she is also the one who takes care of you when I am not allowed to see you. Don't separate them my husband" Helena asked.

Hartanto smiled, "what do you think of my wife? I've already blessed them, I want to make amends for not attending their wedding. I want you to prepare the wedding party as grand as possible for both of them. They have not done the reception, the second wedding is too simple for the Widjaja family" Hartanto replied.

Helena finally breathed a sigh of relief, the woman smiled broadly at her husband.

"You sure you're giving up all this to me? Aren't you afraid I've got a wicked plan after everything I've done?" ask Helena.

"I really believe in you, you're not a bad woman, your declaration of love can reassure my feelings of affection. I know you actually love Rafael as much as your own son. And Widjaja's mansion you've been taking good care of without changing my wife's legacy. I'm sure you can do it" Hartanto replied.

"You're right my husband, Rafael has always made me proud. Although I once wanted to own Widjaja's treasure, but I never had any intention of getting rid of Rafael. I want Rafael to call me mother once, even if that seems impossible. But I'm still happy to see him grow as handsome and intelligent as he is today. I really want to be part of the whole Widjaja family" Helena said.

"Patience the harsh attitude of Rafael. I'm sure one day he'll call you mother."

Helena hugged her husband again. He hopes this is the beginning of happiness for them.

*****

Rafael and Delia arrive at the apartment's parking lot.

"You go to the apartment first, I'll bring this suitcase," Rafael said.

Delia shook her head, "you're carrying four suitcases, it can't be Raf. Let me help you," he replied.

Delia sighed, but she was no longer afraid of her husband's threats. The woman approached Rafael and took two of his suitcases.

"You challenge me madam" said Rafael.

Delia looked at Rafael sharply, "you're the stubborn Raf, let's go..."

Rafael breathed. He will surely bow to his hard wife. For some reason he was afraid of Delia's sharp gaze.

"Well, ma'am, I didn't lose but gave up" replied Rafael.

Delia chuckled amusedly, the two of them finally set their feet towards the apartment. Arriving in the apartment, Delia immediately threw her body onto the sofa.

"Clean yourself and go to sleep when you're tired, baby" Rafael said.

"I want to put my head on your shoulder, can I?" ask Delia.

"The stupid question is dear" said Rafael, sitting next to Delia.

At once Delia put her head on Rafael's shoulder.

"Let me close my eyes for a moment" Delia said.

Rafael menci um Delia's head, "you should just lie on the bed, I know today is very tiring. Tomorrow you have to go to college and I have to go back to work, too" he said.

Delia raised her head and looked at her husband.

"Alright, let's just sleep in bed," Delia asked.

"Don't tease me in a tired moment like this baby. I will not bear the consequences if I am provoked," teased Rafael.

Delia looked up, "when I teased you. I'm just taking you to bed?" answer Delia.

Rafael chuckled, "okay all right, you're just taking me to bed. Come.." bring him.

Delia fused her eyebrows together, surely what Rafael thought was perverted again. Both of them finally entered their rooms. Delia immediately went into the bathroom to clean herself while changing her clothes.

"You want to take a shower?" ask Delia.

Rafael nodded his head, "come with me."

"I'm done."

"But I just wanted to, if there's you, I don't need to turn on the warm water. The water will be very hot" said Rafael.

Delia's face hinted red, "stop teasing me Raf, it's been there showering."

Rafael let go of his laughter as he went to the bathroom. The man stopped his steps when he got to the door and saw his wife again.

"Delia.." call Rafael.

"Is there anything else Raf?" ask Delia.

"You sure you don't want to come?" goda Rafael again.

"Oh my God." replied Delia, throwing her pillow at Raphael.

Rafael laughed again, he continued his steps towards the bathroom.
