Secret Denis
Hundred Two

Life goes as it should. Whatever a situation, if it has not been lived, will only be a burden on the eyes. But after everything starts to be lived, then everything will feel easier and flow like water that seeks its way to the ocean. This is how God gives His servant a trial. Little by little and increasing the level every time, according to the ability of each person.

Tania's condition still has not changed significantly after being treated at Alex's home. He could not be spoken to seriously. Only useless rantings he said every time he spoke. His eyes were blurred and unfocused.

Even when he was alone. Often he speaks for himself. Initially only a slow murmur, but over time his voice will be louder and more uncertain.

What he said was about his past mistakes. The name of Bhishma is often spoken of from his lips. Sometimes he mentioned Reno, his son. After being satisfied with raving, he would end it with a roaring cry as if deeply regretting everything that had happened.

Denis, who often watched the woman from a distance, felt intense to see Tania's situation like that. He realizes that the mastermind behind all of Tania's crimes is a man named Bisma, his biological father.

There is a feeling of pity that infiltrates Denis' heart every time he sees Tania's condition. But then his hatred for the man named Bhishma was even increasing every day.

One thing Denis liked most when he noticed Tania was when Alex came and asked her to communicate. Alex seems so full of feelings in treating Tania. It was not uncommon for her to feed Tania when the woman refused to eat to her nurse.

Alex was serious about taking care of her former stepmom. And in reality, Alex never thought of the woman as her former mother. It feels very inappropriate if the name he pinned to the woman who had been the wife of his father. For Alex, mom is still mom. Although he had done evil to himself and to his father, Alex was determined to forgive the woman.

"God is All-Pardoning. How can we as beings not forgive each other with fellow beings." He said when Denis back reminded about the lunge Tania some time ago.

If that's the answer, Denis can't say anything more. He knows Alex is keeping his feelings in check. Because Alex also knows who the real villain is.

This afternoon Denis was at his mother's house. Rania seemed very happy with the presence of her daughter. He invited Denis to lunch with him. A special dish he had prepared to entertain his favorite daughter.

"Where, Honey. Have you filled in?" Rania asked when they were at the dinner table. Andres was also present because he was used to eating lunch at home, unless there were things he could not leave in his office. Davin, just a few days ago, returned to Singapore to continue his education.

"What fists?" Denis frowned, not understanding his mother's question. He fed the rice to his mouth while waiting for the answer from his mother.

"Come debay dong babe. The time of the stone." Rania giggled amusedly feeling funny with her own words. While Denis was increasingly confused to hear his mother's speech like that.

"Debay what is it?"

Ckk!!

Andres clucking. He smiled while enjoying the dishes. Although he did not speak, he followed the conversation between his wife and Denis.

"Yes, my dear. Debay doesn't know." Rania dried her eyes with a stifled smile on her lips.

"What?"

It seems that Denis really doesn't know.

"Baby dede, dear Icha. Married women, it is very common to wait for pregnancy after marriage." Rania smiled.

"What??"

Denis' eyes were rounded.

"Why are you surprised? Every woman wants to get pregnant someday. So are you."

"But that's.."

"Why? Don't tell me that you and Alex haven't ..." Rania continued her speech by moving her finger hinting at something Denis could understand. Denis's face flushed. Feeling embarrassed by his mother's speech that was a little vulgar, while there was Andres who listened to his conversation with the mother.

"Take it I don't exist." Andres seemed to be able to read Denis' mind. He shook his hand while remaining focused on his food.

"But, I can't imagine what if you get pregnant later." Andres laughed. Denis coughed as soon as he heard Andres.

"It's definitely very funny and adorable. I can't wait to see when I'm pregnant, baby." Rania chimed in with a laugh, ignoring Denis' red face.

Rania's phone lying side by side with her rice plate suddenly rang out loud.

Rania immediately grabbed her phone and when she saw who called her, her forehead immediately linked. He got up from his seat and asked permission to answer the phone.

"Who?" ask Andres.

"Mother" answered Rania. "He invited us to dinner at his house tonight. You should come too. With your husband." His words were addressed to Denis.

"In what order?" ask Denis.

"She wanted to get together. Since your marriage, our family has not seen each other. Everyone is busy with their own business."

"But I'm still lazy to meet Damian."

"Mama knows. Maybe grandma deliberately made this event so you and om you can make up."

Denis was silent for a moment after hearing his mother's words.

"But the show was suddenly like this. I don't know if Alex can or won't come tonight."

"You just call, tell me from now on that there's a dinner at Grandma's."

"I'll try. Hopefully he doesn't have another show" Denis said.

"It's a pity that Davin has returned to Singapore. If not, we can collect rames, right," said Rania later.

"Where is Alex's stepmom? Doesn't he live in your house right now?" ask Andres after finishing his meal.

"There hasn't been a change" Denis replied.

"Did he really have a mental disorder or was he just pretending?"

"It looks like he's really crazy. The results of the examination of the psychiatrist are also so. Hence, the legal process is suspended."

"It's a pity, a result of greed for property, it's like that" Rania said in a soft voice. "When what his lack is, Arga Dinata loves him very much and lavishes him with treasure. But that's it, we don't know what really happened. It's just that the crime he committed was worthy of getting a proper reply."

"And the person most responsible for that was the man he was cheating on," Denis said resentfully.

"Yes. He must be responsible for everything. He's the ringleader of it all." Rania. He looked at Denis.

"I'm sorry mom. You have to accept the fact that that man is your father."

"Mama doesn't have to apologize. We cannot change reality. Although it's hard to accept that fact, it's all happening." Denis took a slow breath. "I want to be like Alex, he can accept his mother's guilt and forgive her, even if it is fatal. She was already heartened to take care of her stepmom and accept her completely."

"Have you forgiven your father?"

"Eitherway. I have to try to accept everything with a chest. Alex always encouraged me to meet the guy and forgive him. But, I'm not ready to do that."

"Mama is sure, someday, you will be able to forgive your papa. As bad as he is, he's still your papa. Nothing's gonna change that."

"Yes. Merely, I also have to accept another bitter reality. That Reno is the son of that man."

"Alex must have been very hurt when he found out about it the first time."

"Yes. Just like me. I was also very surprised. To the extent that, I was intending to cancel my marriage to Alex back then, right?"

Rania took a deep breath. Can feel the burden that has plagued his daughter's mind so far. It hurt and it hurt her feelings a lot.

"Mama hope, after this you will get your happiness forever. I'm sure Alex is the right person for you."

Denis could only smile thinly.
