Abi is in the doorway. Watching the two brothers hugging each other in tears. Ajeng and Hanan immediately gave distance and tried hard to respond to this situation all. Looking at Abi's approaching movements, it seemed like there was something else the two wanted to convey. Making Hanan retreat gave himself space.
"How are you doing, Ajeng, is it still sick?" ask Abi to come closer.
"Not better than yesterday, may I meet him? My heart is full, the boy should deserve it."
"Aren't you afraid your body will change after breastfeeding?"
"Why indeed? My body has changed since I was pregnant" Ajeng replied.
"Ajeng, do you hate me?" ask Abi seriously.
Ajeng looked at the man, then threw it in the other direction. Do not want to hate it, but since his arrival has first offered milk and tuba. Should she be honest in front of him?
"I'm sorry, if the atmosphere makes you uncomfortable. I just want to know."
Ajeng was still silent, he himself had not found the right answer for Abi with their status still gray.
"Why not answer, that hard, 'is it?" ask Abi to make sure.
"I wish I had a better answer. I have no choice but to answer you. Don't worry, I'm just sad for the kid, not for wanting to part with you."
"Unfortunately, you should be fair by loving both of them" Abi said looking at her deeply.
"I'm not interested in loving people's husbands" Ajeng replied honestly.
Her position as a surrogate mother and a second woman was not her passion at all. It's all a real nightmare and it's coming to an end. Although not hypocritical, the closeness that was once created gives color in the hearts of both. Both have an undeniable child bond.
"I'll try to be fair to you and Vivi, even though our son will stay with me and Vivi, you can visit her once in a while."
"I don't need status, let alone mercy from you. I can support myself," Ajeng replied clearly hurt.
What does that man mean. Abi wants to keep her as his second wife. Binding her, yet still wanting to take her child for Vivi, it was more than sick. Of course as a woman, Ajeng did not want to be the second, especially with their status that there was clearly no love.
"You can consider, because I'm not that nice. Sorry, if this choice makes it difficult. But I can't leave both. We've wanted children for a long time, my mother will also be very happy with her presence."
Ajeng was silent, a choice that did not give him any better meaning in life. He will only be a puppet for the testimony of the happiness of those who have bought him with money.
After saying so, Abi gave space for Ajeng to make a decision. The man left Ajeng's room and comforted himself in front of the baby's room. Staring from afar, through the glass window, their daughter who was asleep was cute.
"Let Kak Ajeng embrace him, I'm sure, he's the one who keeps his word if not disturbed first" Hanan said speaking nearby.
"I wanted that kid a long time ago. I'm just worried, your brother forgot, besides there's an agreement, there's also a bond. We're tied up, I'll definitely take good care of him."
"So, can? After Ajeng found the answer?"
"You heard everything?"
"Alright, you can take him to his mother's place, right when Ajeng makes his decision."
Abi remains dominant in this regard. If Ajeng will accept it, he will still maintain the marriage. Although it may be selfish, while still giving custody to him and Vivi.
The woman can conceive again, of course with the relationship of the two when re-established. In that case, can Abi be selfish?
"Whatever Brother's decision, I'll still be by your side."
"I don't have Hanan's answer, I just want the child, without Abi, but it's impossible, and Abi wants her whole child, and I'm just a complement, because I'm just a surrogate mother."
Hanan seemed to understand very well the situation and conditions that befell her brother. Postpartum pain is almost not felt because it is too busy arranging his heart which is actually not okay.
"Bet Brother rest first, need serious maturity in answering this."
Hanan gives space to her brother, which she does only provide encouragement, support, and also keep accompanying in joy and sorrow.
A difficult choice, still to be taken. With a heavy heart and unwillingness, in a day that will probably be the most stressful and make good memories in his deepest heart. Ajeng who was given time to hold his baby, crying haru. He promised not to cry, but still shed his tears. The woman kissed him without getting bored, even clearly shaking her decision.
"Don't be happy, later if you marry again will also have another child, easy is not it? What a drama!" vivi said that afternoon accompanied by Abi who was preparing to bring her baby because she was allowed to go home.
The woman had already arranged the most beautiful scenario in her discourse after this. By bringing the baby home, her status will be safe and it is thought to have given birth to a beautiful daughter of the sole heir of the famous Warsa Prayogo family of seven-line sultans.
Ajeng did not respond to Vivi's obvious babble to hurt her heart. He did not want to ruin that wonderful moment that would probably be the last day to embrace him. Given that it has to be handed over to Vivi and Abi.
While Abi, his instinctive heart is clearly disturbed, but he is also in very real concern. Until this moment, Abi still did not give clarity clearly on his status.
"You can still visit him occasionally if you take the option according to my decision" whispered Abi right beside Ajeng.
The woman had convinced her heart, though it was heavy. Then what Ajeng can if following Abi's decision. The boy was still being taken care of by both. Only Ajeng's status was confirmed as a second wife, while there was no love between the two.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry your mother couldn't keep you. I am your mother, who will always love you in prayer. Be a great woman, a shield to your parents that will bring peace and tranquility at your every step. I love you, Ruby, my son," the inner Ajeng clenched with teary eyes. Ready to take off his carrier.
"Don't! Never give it to an irresponsible woman like her!" peekik Hanan came at such an opportune time.
To make people in the room look at him with question marks. In addition to Vivi, of course, who stared in shock mixed with anger and hatred.
