STRONG IN BETRAYAL
CHAPTERS.17. HESITANT AND RESTLESS

When Lady was happy and had to shout in her heart to see the results of her baby ultrasound, in contrast to Reynold who came home to her apartment with a huff after delivering Tuti to the Hotel, Reynold wants to go home, but Victor insists on following Reynold to his apartment.

Now Victor was making fried rice to eat them both, without a word not because he did not know what to say, but because Victor was waiting for the anger in his son's chest to subside, so that when invited to talk they can talk with a cool head and not rely on emotions but logic so that they can think clearly.

Victor also made a sunkish orange juice for the two of them as well as preparing the cut Apple as dessert, when everything was available, Victor immediately presented everything on the living room table, Reynold who sat looking at what Victor brought just took the Orange Juice in a sip several times to wet the throat that had choked several times every time remembering the events at home Lady.

“Let's eat son.. This papa make fried rice Your favorite chicken.” said Victor while giving the plate, making the dish,

“Thank you Pa...” they ate quietly, Reynold also ate while playing with his own mind.

After eating, Victor again gave pieces of apples for his son to enjoy, Reynold's gaze occasionally looks nanar, occasionally seen holding anger, all that did not escape Victor's sight, he said, while patting – pat his son Victor's shoulder rubbed his face roughly.

“Hmmmmm... do you know that the biggest guilt of my life is when your mama left us all?” victor asked to open the conversation to his son, in addition to wanting to calm his son's heart, there is one thing that must also be straightened out, so that the misunderstanding between him and Reynold ended, but there was a second chance like this.

“Entah,,... Papa looks happy with the woman.” Reynold said lazily,

“Daddy... Life has to go on, right? If I do not try to rise up and create my own happiness then how can I make others happy, especially my son?” There was a snide laugh from Reynold's lips.

“Sukma your mother..., actually not my first wife.” said Victor suddenly surprised Rey, but did not want to talk until Victor finished the story, he said, little heart Reynold also wants to know the past of his parents.

“My first wife was Tuti.”

“What?!” Reynold could not help his surprise anymore.

“Daddy... Tuti was my first wife, when Tuti was pregnant like Lady.., I asked her to abort the child, because Sukma's father pressured me to marry his son, Sukma who had put my heart on me long ago, taking the opportunity when your grandmother was sick, at that time I was in dire need of a fee, and I was just received in the mining company, Sukma's father was part of HRD in the company, he said, He made me an offer I couldn't refuse Reynold. I sacrificed the new family I was raising for the old family that raised me, what an irony, said the money man is not everything in this world, but everything needs money in this world Reynolds..,” Oghed Victor when telling a story while looking at his past.

“At that time Tuti was five months pregnant and I.., I forced her to abort the child.., Tuti was devastated, Tuti finally obeyed my wishes without knowing what the reason behind my depraved desires was, after Tuti was no longer pregnant, I left her and married Sukma your mother, but I was always haunted by my guilt towards Tuti, and the tribe was always haunted by her own fears.., she was afraid I would leave her to make her bipolar.” Reynold gasps to hear some of Victor's past, for a moment Victor takes water to gulp it rough.

“Both Sukma's parents have always disturbed Tuti's life, insulted him, and humiliated Tuti repeatedly, a sense of vengeance embedded in the deepest recesses of Tuti's heart, when your mama died she left an apology letter to Tuti, She also apologized to Papa for forcing things on and asked Papa to re-establish the Papa household with Tuti... never cheated on Nak.”.

“If the guilty one in your past is my Mom, then what does that have to do with my future Papa?” Reynolds question makes Victor smile,

“Nak..., you are a teacher at a famous University here, but Experience is the best teacher for everyone..., do not be because one or two challenges then make you doubt your decision, do not be a jerk like papa used to be irresponsible, son.., be the man in charge so that you don't repeat the history of regret that I've had, Lady.... good boy.., are you right – really love him?” Victor's question left Reynold speechless and thinking long enough,

“Learn to persevere, and ask Lady to leave her parents' house, it should be when someone has married to live with her husband in a new household is not it?” Victor's Proposal..,

“Daddy is obviously pa...., that's a lesson from any religion isn't it?” said Rey,

“Daddy... so we've got the solution right?” victor asked as he hugged his son tightly, Reynold nodded in understanding,

“Pa..”

“Yeah?”

“I'm sorry Pa.., I'm sorry for keeping the bitterness in my heart all this time, and I'm sorry to Tuti, I know..” regrets Reynolds sounded really in Victor's ear.

“Huuff... I am very relieved to hear it..., after so many years.” said Victor.

A little feeling of calm perched on Reynold's chest, there was already a way out he thought, all would be well –, all would definitely be resolved, and run smoothly according to his wishes, he said, lady does not love him very much so Lady will surely obey him, well more or less that is what Reynolds thought and great hope for everything to come true.

The sound of notification of incoming messages on Reynold's android phone, in notya Chatingan from Lady, seen four-dimensional USG photos with caption “Fruit of Love Kita”, can be seen,

Reynold felt his breath held back to see the photo, there was no smile on his lips, for a moment in recall advice from Victor, then he saw the photo again, But what was felt by Reynolds Heart was just a GAMANG feeling...
