Parents For My Baby
Forever Together

Though in doubt, I put this foot closer to him. "Will you come with me for a minute?"

"Where's Mas?"

"To Jogja Mila, to see my mother."

Kamila looked so surprised at my words. "When I forgive you for all your mistakes, Mila's condition is very critical, she just wants to meet you Mila, please remove all your hate for her."

"I've never hated your Mom Mas, I'm just surprised to hear that Mom is sick, let's go now Mas."

Then we got in the car. I drove so fast, but every once in a while I looked at her face, she was still as beautiful as she used to be, even though she was no longer young. I don't want to go through this togetherness, because I don't know when I'll ever get this close to her again. Actually, I had a hard time controlling the vibrations in my chest, even though I saw him look at me several times with an unusual gaze, not a look of hatred but a look of love. 'Did Kamila love me again?' my mind was deep in my heart, but I brushed off that feeling, I didn't want to expect anything from her. Suddenly he started a conversation with me.

"Pardon my attitude all this time that has ignored you, I've been so outrageous to you, after all you are Amanda's real father, I shouldn't have been so bad to you."

"Already Mila, all has passed, do not think too much, I heard from Mba Rani you just from Madiun?"

"Yes, it's."

Suddenly I saw Kamila crying. "Why are you crying? Is something wrong with me? I'm sorry Mila."

"Not Mas, this has nothing to do with you Mas" he said with a smile, he then clasped my hand. When her warm hands touched my fingers, my heart felt like screaming and yelling. I really feel so happy, I can't believe Kamila's attitude is now so friendly with me.

'Is it true that Mas Raka said that Kamila would definitely accept me back? But what exactly has happened in Kamila's life?'

So many questions raged, but I tried to refocus driving, because the road was so crowded, we finally arrived. We stepped inside the hospital, up to an ICU room, Kamila looked so surprised to see the state of Mother.

"What's the pain in Mom?"

"Mila's complications, heart and kidney disease."

"Astaghfirullah azim thing, you're patient Mas, which father?"

"Yes Mila, I'm going home to pick up some of Mom's belongings."

We sat in the hospital park not far from the ICU. I told myself to talk to him. "How are you, Mila? We haven't seen each other in a long time, sorry I just asked, I was so panicked I never had time to ask you about it."

"Okay, how are you?"

"I've never been good since we parted Mila, my life has been so empty, only Amanda can treat my void even if it's just for a moment because I can't see her every time."

"Mas, I'm sorry I ignored you."

"What's wrong, the most important thing to me is your happiness, Mila is my mistake so great that you can never forgive me and give me a chance just once? Can't we be full parents to Amanda?"

Clear details began to drip on his cheeks. "I'm sorry, Mom."

"It's okay Mila, sorry if my words make you sad."

"I'm sorry, I can't accept you, but I don't deserve to be with you anymore, my body's even so dirty, it's not appropriate for a good person like you."

"What do you mean Mila?" I asked myself what really happened to him. I have also strengthened my heart if a bad possibility has happened to Kamila.

"Find another woman better than me."

"There's no woman as good as you Mila, you're the only woman in my life that I really love."

"What really happened to your life Mila?"

Kamila just cried sobbing at my question. 'Please Mila tell me, I will accept you for who you are.' I said in my heart.

"I'm sorry I can't say it yet."

I could no longer control my feelings and I forced myself to hold her hand. Kamila did not refuse, nor did I try to hug her. He even returned my embrace and cried in my arms.

"I miss you Mila, never leave me again, I've suffered so much over the last ten years, it's been so hard without you."

"My mother's dirty, you don't know what really happened to me!"

"What really happened to you Mila?"

"Mas a few months ago I had given birth to a child."

I was actually so surprised to hear Kamila's words, but I had already calculated this before, if Kamila must have experienced such a bad thing. But I try to be realistic as if I didn't know anything about him.

"No way Mila."

"But this is the reality."

She took her cell phone and showed me a picture of her giving birth in the hospital.

"That's why when you came to my house a few months ago I wasn't home, I was in Madiun Mas."

"Then where's your son Mila, who's the father?"

"Randi Mas, I was so stupid to be lulled by her seduction, we then had an illicit relationship behind Randi's wife until I was pregnant, when I was pregnant she just dumped me, that's what caused my mother's death. Randi was so cunning, he did all this to our family to avenge him on Dad."

"Astaghfirullah thing adzim, then where is the baby now?". I wasn't really that surprised, because I thought Kamila would be in touch with Randi again, but I didn't expect Randi to do that bad to Kamila.

"My family was so embarrassed by my actions, while pregnant I intended to go to the house of Mba Tari, one of his friends there who intended to adopt my baby, but while on the way to the airport, Mba Rani's car broke down, and she was killed, I then kidnapped Randi, he also raped me and dumped me so far as to Banyuwangi, he intended to kill me by throwing me into the forest, but fate said another, I was able to survive and be helped by such a good man, he was the one who adopted my son now Mas, they are a married couple who have been married for many years but have no children."

Tears of my eyes dripped, a pain and sadness ran through my heart, and I felt so useless that I could not take care of the woman I loved so much. I then hugged him. "I'm sorry Mila, I don't know all the bad things that have happened to you, I'm a useless man."

"The events that I've been through have nothing to do with you Mas, I don't want you to fall into my troubles either."

"At least if you want to communicate with me, you don't have to give your child to someone else, we can raise her together into one family with Amanda."

"What do you mean? I've been so dirty, there's no way I can be with you anymore, look at me Mas, my body has even been touched by a depraved human like Randi."

"But I only love you, I don't care what has happened to you, which I know I love you so much, have you forgotten my promise if I'm only going to marry you?"

I wasn't sure Kamila would take me back, but I was relieved enough to get my heart out for years.

"Let's go back to me."

I can't believe Kamila nodded, she also hugged my body so tightly. I feel really happy, my whole body is shaking and this heart is beating faster. For ten years I waited for him, it turned out that my wait was not in vain. Although this sense of happiness is a little closed because of the current health condition of the mother. Just as I took off my hug, my phone suddenly rang.

"What's up, huh?"

"Mila, Mila's mother we need to meet her quickly!"
