The long-awaited moment finally arrived. Most days later by Mike after nearly six months he ventured to find the whereabouts of his wife. Now, he was finally able to meet the woman who had driven him crazy.

The woman he so longed for now lay weakly on the hospital bed. The position of Chila's body that was lying down, made the woman's stomach look so big, unlike when she stood up because the clothes she always wore always covered her stomach, until standing up it is not so noticeable that the woman is pregnant.

Davis pushes Mike's wheelchair closer next to Chila's gurney. After that, the man invites Miyya to come out to give space to Mike and Chia to talk to each other.

‘Assalamualaikum Mas,” said Chila opened her voice, her facial expression still looks flat.

In fact, she was crying and begging Davis to be found with her husband, but now. It felt so hard to smile, that his face could only display a flat expression.

“Walaikumsalam,” answered Mike so softly with eyes that have glass.

Since then, his gaze can not be separated from the face and stomach of his wife who seemed to continue calling her to be in the face. His hands clenched so tightly down there, he wanted to touch and hug his wife. However, her agreement with Davis before her, she must not touch Chila. Because it would make the woman come back scared. And if that happens, then he and Chila must prepare to lose their child candidate.

Mike was aware of his mistake, so he agreed. Mike knew why his woman would be frightened, it was because of his actions that had been khilaf playing hands to Chila at that time.

“How do I want to say an Apology to you. When I realized, that word would not be enough to heal your wounds, because of me. And how can I ask you to forgive me, when I know that I cannot forgive myself.” Mumbled Mike immediately covered his face with his hands, he sobbed in front of a woman who was none other than his own wife.

He was really very sorry, and he felt increasingly guilty when he saw the condition of his wife who looked so weak when pregnant with his baby. Mike was increasingly powerless to hold his cry, when he saw the face of the wife who continued to stare at him with a flat expression.

Very painful, even it felt much more pain than all the blows he got from so many people.

Meanwhile, Chila who saw Mike's regret for his mistake, made her heart like sliced. Very painful and painful, but he also could not be that easy to forget every word and deed that the man in front of him.

“Can I explain everything the same to you?” mike asked softly looking at Chila, making the woman nod her head immediately, without saying another word.

“I know that I made the biggest mistake of hurting you. But really, I have absolutely no intention of doing that.” Said Mike again wipe his tears, “My relationship with Els is long over. I was right working in Germany, I never cheated at all.”

“It's true that I often accompany Els for health control, it's a mistake I've never been honest with you. I'm sorry, but I was never alone with Els, we always went with Aunt Felly. And for the last few months, it was Michele who accompanied and delivered Els. I just went to the hospital and saw her from the window. And for the last time, when I came home and hastened the departure, because Els' condition was severe enough but he did not want to be hospitalized. He's still determined to go home and wait for me.”

“Me and Els have been in contact for quite a while, I can't easily refuse her request, when I know that her age won't be long. But that doesn't mean I still love her, even though we were married in the first place, that feeling still exists. But when we were united, by God, I completely forgot all about my feelings for him. I love you already, Chila.” Mike is obviously long.

“If Mas loves Chila, then why is it so hard for Mas to be honest with Chila?” chila asked directly turning her face to the side.

“Because I'm afraid of hurting you,” Mike replied quickly, “I'm afraid of making you misunderstand, and I'm afraid of—“

“But in fact you also hurt me Mas!” exclaim Chila at the end, ‘Astagfirullah.”

“True, in the end I did hurt women as well as you. Even if I hurt you physically, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry hiks hiks hiks.” Mike said as he clenched his hands so tightly to withstand the tightness in his chest.

Chila had not said a word anymore, the woman could only close her eyes so tightly and bite her lower lip.

“Still can I ask for your last chance?” asked Mike looking fixed Chila's face with the melted tears that had soaked her face, “Not a second chance, because I was afraid I would ask for a third and so on. Please, give me one last chance. For the last time, and I'll try to fix it,” added Mike rightly pleaded.
