OLEANDER'S OBSESSION
You Want to Leave Me, too?

...“Luna, Rain and Zayn. They're abandoning me. Then now, are you also going to leave me?” - Ravi Ravindra...

...🌸🌸🌸...

“Ma, why not ask Papa first?”

Ravi who was sitting on a hospital bed, he looked at his wife with a question mark. A few minutes ago Alfred came to see him and said he would have a wedding between Zayn and Sara next month.

“Pa, children know what is best for them,” Hana said while peeling apples.

“But I'm his parent! I know what's best for my son!” ravi exclaimed with anger.

“Papa relax. Papa just healed, don't get emotional first,” said Hana while looking down and focusing on cutting apples.

“Ck! No one listened to my words. Everyone felt the path they took was right! Even Rain, how dare the boy conduct a press conference and introduce a child who does not know where his origin is from to be his wife?!” Ravi was suddenly annoyed with a stiffened and gloomy face.

Despite being stranded in the hospital without Zayn and Rain, he still did not realize and did not feel guilty at all.

“Pa ..” Hana stops her hand peeling apple. “Doctor said, today Papa can go home.”

“Hmm. I know it.” Ravi is cold. The old man grabbed his phone from the table beside his bed.

A few minutes passed. The atmosphere of the room was so quiet without any conversation. Hana who never finished peeling the apple, while Ravi unceasingly sighed rudely because she saw all the news headlines about the Ravindra family.

Zayn is married to his older brother's fiancee, while Rain is married to a girl whose origins are unclear. Ck! Why is this dignified family now so messy and directionless?!

"Haaaa... What the hell are they thinking?! Then I could die sooner than I should!" ravi is upset.

Hana took a deep breath. She gathered all her courage to say something important to Ravi, her husband.

“Pa .. I want a divorce.” Hana said that clearly and straightforwardly. He really could not stand being on the side of a man who had never truly loved him since the departure of his late wife.

Hana's presence in the house is like a substitute figure used for release asked who is Mrs Ravi Ravindra at this time. Only that, without genuine love.

"Where?!!!"

Ravi stared in shock at Hana while saying her name in a loud voice. His wrinkled face suddenly tensed up due to the words that Hana had just thrown at him. Divorce?!

“I know, until now Papa has not been able to forget Mbak Luna. I felt guilty for taking Papa away from him because of my overzealous ambition. Without me knowing it, I've hurt my own son, Zayn. I want to see her happy now,” Hana said in a raucous voice.

“Zayn is also my son!” exclaimed Ravi who was unable to contain his anger. A feeling that was difficult to explain now rippled in the chest. The guilt that had been focused only on Luna and Rain, unconsciously now increased again on Hana and Zayn.

“See me, Hana!” ravi exclaimed with a sharp eye to Hana. He went down the bed and sat down on the side of the bed while positioning his body facing toward Hana, his wife.

“But, Mas. I can no longer be on the side of the man I've loved but he doesn't love me.” Hana cried sobbing.

“Hana, we are old. What's wrong we try to live a quiet life and—”

“Just because we are old, Mom. I want to live a quiet life by letting the kids be happy with their own choices. And I also want to be free from the shackles of my guilt towards Ms. Luna. I have not forgotten Mbak Luna until now!”

“I want to be happy, Mas. I want my old days to be full of grandchildren's laughter. Not a complicated problem and a love that claps one hand.” Hana's chest went up and down trying to calm her explosive emotions.

Ravi was speechless with blank eyes glaring far away. His mind drifted to the past. The time where he torments Luna for her momentary lust is tempted by another woman. And now the woman is his wife. Although the rice had already become porridge, there was no other choice but to take full responsibility for what he had done in the past.

"I can't pay for my mistakes with Luna. Then ... is it possible that Hana also let me go? Ravis ... Ravi .. Why have you been so stupid and hurt others?!" aspir Ravi in heart with a face of despair.

Ravi crouched right at Hana's feet. Then he held onto both of Hana's hands and looked at the wrinkled old woman.

“Hana .. I know it's too late. But, can you give me a chance just once? I ... I promise I'll pay for all my past mistakes. Please ... please don't leave me,” Ravi begged for mercy from the figure of a woman who loved him since long ago until now.

Hana sobbed as she watched the rich and honorable Ravi kneel before her begging for forgiveness. Although the word sorry is not able to rotate the time that has been wasted so far, it is still all that has passed.

“Mas, don't do this. I am not that good until Mas kneels in front of me,” Hana said while hugging her husband. “I love the same Mas. I just want us to be happy, Mom. We are old. What else are we looking for besides happiness and serenity?”

Ravi hugged his wife's body tightly. “You're right. All we need is happiness and tranquility.”

Tok Tok Tok!

While Ravi and Hana are busy spilling their hearts, Joey appears behind the door of the hospital room occupied by Ravi.

“Se-happy day, Om, Aunt.” Joey tried to smile despite the awkwardness.

The girl who is now Lady Rain Ravindra entered the room occupied by her father-in-law while carrying a basket containing fruits. Zea also accompanied Joey behind him.

“Sorry, maybe my presence here is undesirable,” Joey said with guilt and heaviness. Moreover, when he saw Ravi and Hana were hugging with reddened eyes and still wet.

“A-I just wanted to see Om Ravi. Thank goodness Om Ravi has healed,”, Joey continued with great sincerity. A beautiful smile on the girl's face.

“Who do you call Om and Aunt?” ravi asked in a cold voice.
