The Broken Ring's
He's Entitled to Know

Despite initial objections, Larisa and Erick are finally willing to return to work at Arfan's hotel as before. Of course after both of them lost the argument with Riani.

Lalita and Erlan alone were astonished to see Riani's sudden attitude turn into an undeniable figure. The woman who had only been a shadow behind Arfan, now appeared so persistent, until finally he managed to convince Larisa and Erick to obey his words.

Everything then went according to what Riani ordered. Larisa and Erick help Erlan manage the running of the hotel, while Riani herself brings Arfan to do treatment in Singapore with Lalita. Slowly but surely, the problems faced by Arfan can be overcome. Of course it makes Lalita can breathe a little relieved.

Not felt, it has been almost a month Riani and Lalita accompanied Arfan to undergo treatment and therapy in one of the best hospitals in Singapore. Arfan's condition has improved, but the middle-aged man still has difficulty speaking and has not been able to stand for too long. He still had to use a wheelchair when he wanted to go anywhere.

Arfan has been discharged from the hospital, but still has to undergo therapy three times a week. This made him unable to return directly to his homeland. Erlan arranges temporary residence for Arfan, Riani and Lalita. An apartment located not far from the hospital where Arfan underwent treatment.

"How's Papa's condition progressing, Ma?" lalita asked after Riani finished seeing the doctor who treated Arfan. That day was Arfan's schedule of therapy to restore the function of his paralyzed nerves.

"Your father is showing very good progress. The doctor said the chance to get back to health is very big. Origin diligently doing therapy," said Riani with a thin smile.

Lalita also smiled hearing that.

"Barusan Om Erlan called and asked Papa's condition. Thank goodness Papa's condition continues to improve."

"Tell Erlan not to worry. Just focus on hotel affairs," said Riani again.

Lalita nodded. At present, hotel operations are arguably going well even though Arfan is not in place. In addition to Erlan is competent, the presence of Erick and Larisa is also very helpful. The three of them worked well together in handling everything.

"Your father is done following the therapy? How are you here?" Suddenly Riani asked. He only realized that Lalita was outside the room, while Arfan was still inside.

"Ah, that ...." Lalita looks a little nervous.

"Papa's done, but he said that his leg must be massaged first, so I came out for a while," said Lalita again looking for an excuse, when in fact he secretly came out because he wanted to find a gap whether he could sneak into the poly obgyn to check the content. Since being in Singapore, Lalita has never checked the content again.

Riani was silent for a moment. Of course she knew that Lalita was currently trying to cover something up. Riani's gaze then descended towards Lalita's stomach which now looks quite bloated, but tried to be covered with a loose top.

"If your papa is being massaged, we wait here first," said Riani then while sitting in one of the chairs near there.

Lalita was stunned for a moment, before finally coming to sit beside Riani.

"Well we're in the hospital, why don't you check your womb?" riani asked as she looked towards Lalita.

It was clear that Lalita's eyes immediately boughtak perfect hearing the question from her mother.

"W-what did Mama say?" Lalita asked somewhat.

Riani sighed slowly, then leaned her back while closing her eyes for a moment.

"Why did you hide your pregnancy from everyone, Lita? Your stomach can no longer be covered. After all, you've been pregnant, too, but you've been trying to hide it from others, so you know when someone else is doing something like that." Riani muttered without looking.

"You know, you must have had a reason to hide your pregnancy, Lita, but it's not the right thing. Anyway, gradually everyone will know," said Riani again.

Lalita gulped her saliva in a bit of fatigue. That's exactly what my mom said. She won't be able to hide her pregnancy forever. Just look, after his papa found out, now his mama too.

"I really wanted to tell everyone about my pregnancy, Ma. But then I found out that Erick didn't like me and never thought of you as a wife. I then decided not to tell anyone, because I didn't want this child to be the reason for me to survive that unhealthy marriage." Lalita finally replied in a soft tone.

Riani turned towards Lalita and observed the look on her daughter's face for a moment. From the expression that Lalita showed, it was obvious that the young woman had a lot of worries.

"You survive or end your marriage relationship with Erick, that's your full right, Lita. But you also must not rule out the fact that the child in your womb is Erick's child as well. Regardless of what your relationship is, he's still the father of your future son. Erick deserves to know" Riani said again.

Lalita did not answer. What Riani said did have a point, but Lalita was reluctant to admit it. He still does not want Erick to know if in his stomach there is a seed of the man, although of course sooner or later Erick will still know it.

"Mama knows, surely you feel heavy if you have to interact with Erick again, even if only for the sake of your child. But Lita, when we become parents, often we have to put ego aside for our child." Riani spoke again as she touched Lalita's soft shoulder.

Silence enveloped Lalita and Riani after that, until then a therapist went out of the room to tell her that Arfan had finished being treated.

"You better check your womb first, stay in the hospital. Mama will bring your papa home," said Riani as she got up from her seat. "Later after that, Mama will be here again to pick you up."

"No need to pick up. Mama just accompany Papa. I can go home by myself. Our apartment is close, not far," said Lalita finally. He decided to first check the content before going home, as his initial intention was.

Riani. The middle-aged woman then brought Arfan back to their apartment first, while Lalita went straight to the poly obgyn to check the content.

The results of the Lalita examination are also good. The male baby inside her stomach is growing healthy. It made Lalita momentarily forget the turmoil of her heart because of Riana's words earlier. He went back to the apartment with a much better feeling.

"Mama and Papa must see a picture of the future grandchild" Lalita said excitedly shortly after entering her apartment. He did not see if in the living room the apartment was sitting a figure of a guest who came uninvited.

"Mama was ...." Lalita's words hung in the air as she realized the person sitting on the sofa right now was neither her mother nor her father.

"Lita?" The person immediately stood up and looked at Lalita with an expression of disbelief, especially when looking at the woman's stomach.

"E-erick?" Lalita herself seemed to mutter with a pias face.
