"Mas introduce this Amanda, Rama and also his son, funny yes mas his son, handsome, I want a cute and handsome child like this if later we have children." vanya said excitedly with a fluffy smile, Denis nodded stiffly looking at us. Had Vanya known I was Denis' ex-wife and the child he called handsome and funny was the son of her husband who was not recognized by him, could she still smile like this? Because I also forgot how to smile when dealing with him now ....
"Mrs Vanya, it's your turn, please go in the room for blood sampling" said a nurse who came out from the police station.
"You're the one who came in, I'm waiting here" Denis said, Vanya nodded and entered the room.
Suddenly Atma cried, he began to feel sleepy, Mas Rama gave the body of Atma to me, but instead of silence he was even more crying, finally Mas Rama took back the body of Atma, he held her straight and patted Atma on the back.
"It looks like Atma is thirsty, try to warm the ASIP for him." I quickly prepared the ASIP to give to Atma, Mas Rama cradled Atma while I held the milk bottle, and I held the milk bottle, seen from the outside we were like real parents to Atma, especially our laughter broke when Atma felt full and spouted milk from inside his mouth about my face and Mas Rama.
"Uhh mama's son don't fad, kasian tuh papa Rama his face got sprayed." I reflexively touch the face of Rama and clean his face, and Papa's call to Mas Rama is out of my control, maybe I was carried away feeling happy when I saw the closeness of Atma and Mas Rama, may Mas Rama not hear me when I call him papa .... The busyness of Me and Mas Rama calms Atma enough to make me completely forget that there is my ex-husband at this time who is none other than Atma's biological father. I glanced at him at a glance, I saw his jaw harden and his hands clenched as he looked at us, 'what is he thinking? Is he jealous of our closeness?' I said in my heart.
I saw Denis coming closer to us, and I gasped at whatever he was going to do.
"May I carry my son?" He said, but I did not answer
"We have just calmed him down, after all he is picky if he wants to be carried someone even more unknown" replied Rama
"I'm his real Papa, what right do you have to forbid me?"
"He has the right, without the man next to me, I'm sure my son will not survive, because of the blood he donated, my son could have surgery. You speak of rights, have you done your duty as a father?" I said ketus, he immediately pulled my hand by force, Mas Rama wanted to hold me but unlucky at this time he was holding Atma when my guts shrieked to see Denis's current expression and his attitude that seemed forced.
"Deliver!!! Pain ...." Maybe my wrist is now flushed, he finally stopped in a quiet hospital hallway.
"So soon you can give your new Papa to our son, and replace my position with another man, huhh?" His voice was full of emotion, I was trying to suppress fear, I used to be so scared and submissive that Denis had been acting to pressure me like this, but that was when he became my husband, and now it's different he's just an ex.
"You think I'm blinded by the love of an irresponsible husband and father like you, believing yourself to be thumbs up, amazing ..Why is there no shame? Where were you when we needed you, even the drop of blood I needed for my son you didn't give it just because you wanted to marry Vanya!!!" I looked back at Denis' gaze towards me "you already have a new family, and soon you might have a child from Vanya, so don't think of us that you've thrown away, just think of your new family!"
"I still love you Amanda, it's not me who wants it"
"Love accepts all things advantages and disadvantages, what do you decide when you give your choice? I think you still remember!!! Let me be at peace with my current life with my son, don't bother us!"
"He's my son too if you forget!"
"Yes, the child you didn't admit to being ashamed of his imperfections at birth, the child you neglected, the child you wanted to throw away in the orphanage, but look now he's growing up to be an adorable baby instead of a deformed baby like you and your mother said!!!"
"Whatever mistakes I make, don't ever deny I'm the biological father!"
It was easy for him to talk like that, with all his mistakes he wanted to keep Atma recognized that he was his biological father, it would not be that easy.
"Of course don't worry about that! but there are two options for you, later at the age who has understood the meaning of a father in his life, you want to be remembered as a father who has thrown it away by not admitting he was born imperfect, he said, or not knowing yourself at all and also the mistakes you have done to her? which one will you choose? Fair enough I think that choice is for you" I gave a sharp look to her and every sentence I said was full of emphasis, I was sure at this time my position was in the wind, my fear was either evaporating, where, I was afraid, now emotions and courage rule the self. I smiled cynically at him while waiting for the answer of what choice he chose in this situation.
"If you do any of the choices I'm given, which means you're ready to lose our son, I'm going to sue for child custody." It looks like Denis is completely cornered with my words, he tried to turn things around so that I was in a weak position, he forgot that I am not a stupid woman who is easily provoked by his words.
"Please ..I'll reward your lawyers if you win custody of my son, I won't be weak, afraid or back down in the legal process you file later."
"You've changed Amanda, no longer the tender Amanda I know"
"Sometimes God changes and strengthens a person with so much trial, sorrow and tears, because the sadness you inflict on me and my son makes me a strong woman, she said, not as weak as before who can only resign and cry over the situation, I thank you for all the hurt and sorrow that you gave Denis Putra Narendra ...."
With the strength I had, I brushed Denis' hand off my wrist that hurt, but instead of letting Denis go pulled me in his arms, I couldn't let go of Denis' embrace that felt so tight, I couldn't let go, it was not happy when I got a hug from her like when we were married but it felt normal and even made my pride hurt as a woman, she had no right to touch me even hugging me like now, I was struggling to let go of her embrace, and I suddenly felt someone's burly hands were strong enough to pull Denis' body away from me and let go of this hug.
A moment later I saw Denis tumbling with the corner of the lip that was bleeding.
"Amanda is not your wife anymore, keep your attitude if you don't want to get a raw bogem from me."
I saw the man beside me, when our eyes met, this heart was relieved because with him making my position safe, he was Mas Rama. He pulled me to follow his steps away from Denis who was still sitting with blood still visible at the corner of his lips.
"It hurts ...." I hold hands with Rama
"I'm sorry" he replied briefly, as usual he was cold and stiff, I stopped my steps because I remembered something I was worried about
"Where's Atma? Didn't you just carry it?"
"The message came in from the Gita, Gita followed us to the hospital, Atma was with her."
"Thank God, thank you."
"Thank you to Gita, if he doesn't come you'll be hugging your ex-husband for longer."
"It's not my wish, he's pushy."
"But you enjoyed it, didn't you?" Hearing that my mood was getting worse, my self-esteem felt humbled by the judgment he gave, enjoying he said? I felt like a cheap woman, as soon as my bad idea came to make an understanding for her, suddenly I stopped my steps, Mas Rama turned his head, and he turned his head, I looked at him and a moment later I hugged him tightly like what Denis did to me earlier, Mas Rama was just quietly fixated with my mischievous behavior at this time.
"Just explain to you this so-called forced embrace, it's just that I rebelled not enjoying it as you are today" I whispered in the ear of Mas Rama, as I said, let him know what it's like to be denigrated by someone with an accusation, after saying that I hurriedly let go of my embrace because I realized this was all wrong, it's just that I object to Mas Rama's judgment that demeans Me, let if my attitude had made him really judge me negatively, at least this is a lesson for him so as not to easily judge someone.
"You guys are really a romantic couple huh" Vanya emerged from the door in the gynecological polyclinic, I just smiled while as Rama was still silent.
"Has Vanya finished her examination?"
"Not yet, it's time for my husband to be examined but he's not around, have you seen him?" I haven't answered Vanya's question, Denis has already appeared
"I'm here" Denis said
"We'll excuse me for a moment it's my turn to consult with the doctor" I told Vanya, he smiled warmly and I also passed to the doctor's consultation room.
After the ultrasound examination, my concern did not occur, the condition of my uterus was healthy, free of endometriosis as I had previously suspected. Thankfully, I also breathed a sigh of relief, ever since I became a line two fighter, I was very concerned about my body condition especially the female reproductive part.
When I came out of the Consulting Room, I saw Gita playing with Atma, Rama and Vanya, I just took a deep breath because it was likely that I would meet my ex-husband again, and sure enough, I did, I saw Denis coming out of a different room in this polynic and approaching Gita, Vanya, Rama and Atma. Inevitably I stepped forward to them as well, and Gita's speech again made me take a deep breath as she spoke,
"Sister, isn't this Amanda's ex-husband? Papa who is not responsible for my nephew and a cowardly man?" While showing his index finger in front of Denis' face with full emotion, the character of Gita who is thin-celos and dare to reveal the truth about my status and Denis in front of Vanya. Vanya looks shocked by Gita's words, I take over Atma into my arms, as much as I can be calm.
"So you know each other? And this child ...Disis' child?"
"He's my son Vanya" said Denis, it's easy to recognize Atma as his son after my son looks healthy and also funny like now.
"Not ..he's my son, as long as you know Vanya he hasn't acknowledged this child since he was born, I'm just his ex-wife, I know Vanya, while you are his legal wife at this time you should take good care of him so that he does not turn away and can give the perfect offspring according to his wishes and also his mother, and also his mother, if you want to stay together in marriage. Pretty easy stuff, right?"
"We'd better get home, we're done, right?" Rama said, I nodded and holding the hand of Gita who looks still want to give a spicy greeting to Denis, Rama led our steps to immediately leave them from this room. I don't know what happened to Vanya and Denis, it's none of my business anymore ....
