Tarnished Before Accident
Chapter 39. Choose Who?

Rey's father doesn't seem to be a man who likes to make small talk. He immediately said the core thing with a cold face that was always accompanying. I have trouble answering his question. Would they believe me if I said that it was his son who had possessed me?

My tears can't be contained, they just drip without me asking. It was as if a dark cloud had enveloped, sending thunder into my chest. The countless moments made me have trouble speaking. The two people just looked at me, waiting for me to say something. At last my lips said softly.

"The father of the child I am carrying is ... Brother Rey."

At once, Aunt Salwa was limp with Uncle Sean's arm holding her body. I knew they would be shocked after hearing the truth. I wanted to cover it up, but Uncle Sean's sharp gaze seemed to be forcing me to be honest.

"Rey, how can you do that?" Aunt Salwa said while crying. His head was rubbed by Uncle Sean who was still silent and did not react. The blue-eyed man was silent, but his countenance was cold and terrifying. "Mas, call Rey now! I want to ask him for an explanation."

Seen a look of pleading with Aunt Salwa when she said to Uncle Sean. However, the man did not answer, but instead led his wife's body to sit on a chair located at the end of my treatment room.

"Calm down! Remember disease!"

The man poured mineral water on Aunt Salwa. His hands gently squeezed his wife's shoulders, waiting for the mineral water to be drunk.

I saw with my own head how sincere a husband's affection for his wife was. Can I have such a sincere love? Does anyone accept me with all the flaws I have?

As a woman, I also want to feel cared for, loved, and loved. Have a companion who will protect and love my son later. However, it seems like this desire of mine seems excessive. Maybe I was destined to live alone with just my son.

Still pensive in daydreams, Aunt Salwa's voice suddenly shocked me. "I'll get Rey here!"

"Don't, Tan! Let Rey be happy with Rena. I don't want to ruin my brother's happiness." I plead with Aunt Salwa. I felt quite the pain when I saw them kissing that night. I don't want to see her again. It was better that he would not come to see me than that shadow was again vividly drawn in my memory.

"Alea, this matter isn't as easy as you think. There are children to protect and love. Auntie won't let Rey take responsibility for granted. Rena as his wife must also know this reality."

Really, right now everything I do goes awry. If I decide to disappear, my son will lose his father. However, if I stay, then it could damage Kak Rena and Kak Rey's relationship. When I want to avoid and stay away from Rey, from the small family life of Kak Rena, but I go deeper. I don't know what God's plan is for me. I could only resign when Aunt Salwa decided to have Rey meet me.

A doctor came in with a female nurse, making our conversation stop. The doctor injected something into my infusion tube, then asked me to take a lot of rest to get better. I nodded and thanked him before the doctor finally resigned.

A few minutes after the doctor left, my eyes suddenly drowsy, as if lulled by something that made me immediately choose to close my eyes.

"What do you mean, Rey! You accused me of cheating, but you did it yourself? I really didn't expect you guys to secretly get married without my knowledge."

I heard Sister Rena's voice, but my eyes were not fully opened. Looks like I'm affected by sleeping pills so it's hard to open my eyes. Is this a dream or a hallucination?

"I'm not having an affair. It happened before we got married." This time I heard Rey's voice. "That night, my friends and I were having a bachelorette party. Yes, the day before our wedding. You were there too, weren't you? When you came home, and I went back to the room to get the car keys, I just felt my body react strangely. Someone accidentally put something in my drink. And that night finally happened"

The length of the condition changed in silence. Probably right, I was fantasizing. It's like a scene in a movie that's certainly only in my shadow. I can't tell which is reality and which is hallucination. However, a moment later I heard Rey speak.

"I had no intention of doing that to Alea. I'm being affected by a drug I accidentally took at the time." Kak Rey's tone of voice sounded full of regret. "I ... raped Alea the day before our wedding. When she woke up, Alea was gone. I don't know if she's your sister. In fact, I had thought the woman that night was you. I didn't have time to find out about it because our marriage is about to take place."

My tears are dripping hearing it. Although my eyes still felt heavy for me to open, but I was already aware and very clearly heard their chatter. So, like that's the real thing?

"Then you marry her?" Sounded Kak Rena said while sobbing.

"Yes, I married her because she was pregnant with my son. My marriage to Alea was just status, there was no physical contact. Maybe he hates me now."

"Rey, how did you do that behind my back? How could that be for me?" Kak Rena's voice sounded sad. I'm sure if right now Sister Rena is crying.

"Rena, don't I accept all your past? In fact, I accepted you when I found out that you were no longer holy when I married you. I don't mind everything. Can you accept my past? Accept Alea who has now conceived my son? My flesh-blood?"

My breath is so tight to hear it. I'm sure Rena's heart is very sick. Who wants to be combined? Who can accept if suddenly her husband shares love? I might not be able to accept all that either.

"No, Rey!" Kak Rena's voice is rising. I don't want to be combined! You have to decide now, who you choose, Rey!"

The mood was silent again. I'm sure that at this time Kak Rey is thinking hard, considering what answers she will say to Kak Rena. I also already know very well who he chose to see so great love Kak Rey for my brother.

"Alea. He needs me more."

Really, I was surprised by what Rey said. How could he choose me? It is very clear if the man loves Rena so much. Is this related to her promise to me not to let go of me while I'm pregnant?

"What did you say? How's my? Is your love gone unnoticed just because Alea was pregnant with your child?"

"Rena, you know exactly how I feel about you. But, if you're currently telling me to leave Alea, I won't."

Just when Rey said that, with great difficulty, my eyes finally opened. I saw Rena crying in front of Rey, while Rey looked messy with a bluish bruised face.

What's the matter?

Who beat Rey so badly that she was battered like that?

"Sister Rey, Sister Rena?" I said softly calling the two people who were at odds.
