REVENGE OF THE HEIR
CHAPTER 52. IT TAKES TIME BEFORE DECIDING

"How son, do you want to stay with Papa?"

"Sorry Pa, Arga can't decide now. Arga will talk to Mama and Papa Fras. Arga hope Papa understands."

"Alright, son, Papa wait for your decision. If you need to, papa's gonna ask Mama and Fras for permission."

"Let Arga alone talk to mama, Arga does not want mama syock again if he meets Papa. Arga wants us all to be happy, but not hurt one side."

Riko nodded, she should be able to appreciate whatever Arga and Mirna's decision was. Although his heart is broken, but Riko will meet Fras to thank him because Fras is a hero to his family.

And after Rendi is discharged from the hospital, Riko will discuss her divorce with Gisella. He will fix life with the focus of thinking about Arga's future.

Arga and Cinta were alone, while Riko will return to the hospital to see the condition of Rendi.

Mirna handed over the culinary stalls business temporarily to Dirta, Artha and some of her confidants. He will calm down for a few days by staying home.

Fras understands Mirna's feelings, however Riko is his wife's first love. A little bit of that feeling must still be there, especially they still have a bond that is Arga.

Arga returned home after dropping off Cinta and she immediately looked for the whereabouts of the mother who said the maid was resting in the room.

Slowly Arga knocked on the door and after getting permission he entered.

"Come in, son" said Mirna as she watched her son come.

"Mama's sick?" ask Arga.

"No, just a little tired. How's your college and work at the office?"

"Alhamdulillah Ma, everything is in order. Papa where's Ma?"

"Papa still controls the shop, maybe soon home, because Papa called Mama said he wanted to have dinner with us."

"Oh that. Oh yes Ma, Arga wants to talk something, but Arga hope Mama does not feel sad and wrong about Arga."

Mirna frowned, she became afraid of what Arga would talk about.

Arga approached Mirna and she sat down at her side, holding her hand.

"Ma, Arga had known for a long time that Papa Riko was still alive, but at that time Arga deliberately did not tell Mama because Arga was afraid of Mama syock and sick. I'm sorry Arga ya Ma."

"Do you know son?"

Arga nodded and said, "Before Arga hated Papa and Arga wanted to destroy him along with Aunt Gisella, Rendi and Bara. Arga thought, Papa ignored us and chose to live happily with them, but it turns out Arga's guess was wrong."

"Papa was on campus to meet Arga Ma, and Papa explained everything, from Papa to the accident, to memory loss until he looked for us. And Arga just found out that Rendi and Bara are not Papa's children."

"If Rendi is not Papa's child but Bara Mama does not know. Mama thinks after Papa forgets us, he and Gisella live happily, until Bara is born."

"Bara is not Papa Ma's son, but according to Papa's confession, Rendi and Bara do not know the problem."

"That's your Papa Son, he always thinks about other people's feelings and doesn't think about his own happiness. If Papa had been against his family for a long time and wanted to divorce Gisella, we would have lived happily with Papa" Mirna said.

"Does Mama regret Ma, having decided to marry Papa Fras after finding out Papa Riko is still alive?"

"No son, Mama never regrets."

"But Ma, does Mama hate Papa?"

Mirna shook her head, then clasped her son's hand tightly and said, "Even if Papa Riko for example intentionally left us, mama would never hate him. He has the right to choose and determine his happiness."

"Thank you Ma. Arga was worried that Mama would hate Papa, but Arga was wrong."

"It is precisely Mama who was worried son, mama was afraid even you who will hate and not admit your own biological father."

"At first it was Ma, but now Arga understands the situation and condition of Papa. Even Arga pity to see Papa Riko, Ma, in his old days papa alone faced his wife and the behavior of broken children who turned out not to be his son."

"Yes, how else. That's your Papa's destiny. We can only wish him all the best."

"But we can still help her Ma, especially Arga."

"Don't go in papa's life again, mama's afraid Gisella and her children won't accept and will definitely hurt you."

"We've been through it all with great difficulty and now we're happy with Papa Fras so let your papa with his life, son."

"Sorry Ma, Arga can't let papa live with people like that. Arga begs Ma, please allow Arga to help Papa and get Papa out of the lives of the likes of Gisella, Rendi and Bara."

"But what can you do? Your nails aren't strong enough to keep Papa away from them."

"There's something Arga can do, Ma, and Arga makes sure, they'll feel a lot more pain than we ever felt before. It's not their body that's going to get sick, it's their mentality."

"How and what do you want to do?"

"Allow Arga to accept Papa's offer. Arga will stay with Papa in the house that Papa Riko has prepared for Arga."

"With Papa out of the house, they will feel the pain of separating from their loved ones. And they are not entitled to enjoy and own all the assets that Papa Riko has."

"Mama disagrees, they will surely be hurt and Gisella is able to do anything to achieve her goals. Mama doesn't want you to be fucked. Never mind son, say Mama, stay away from Papa Riko and focus on our present life."

Arga was about to argue with her mother again, but Fras' voice came out on the doorstep.

"Can Papa come in?"

"Eh, Papa. Come in Pa, Mama's talking to Arga."

Fras came in, and he sat down between the two.

"Papa heard it all. Thanks Mom, I have no regrets about marrying Papa. But, Mama also can't just ignore Riko."

For a moment Fras was silent, then he said again, "After all, Riko is Arga's father and Arga has an obligation to protect his father from Gisella and her children. I knew Gisella better, long before Mama. So give Arga a chance to show him his time as a child."

"But Mas, I don't want to be away from Arga and I also don't want Arga to be hurt."

"Mama believes in Papa? Papa won't stay silent if anyone wants to hurt my son. So, please Ma, allow Arga. Let him save Riko from Gisella and her two sons. After all, they've been depriving Arga of the rights she should enjoy and have."

Mirna was silent, she was still hard to let Arga stay with Riko, but she also had no right to forbid papa and child to meet each other.

Finally, Mirna asked for time to think because she did not want to be wrong in making a decision.
