The Holy Love of Zalila
chapter 37

After dinner, Lila talks to Bram and Keinya about his desire to forgive Raffael. He wants to live without revenge. He wants his family back to how it was. Moreover, he always saw Aysel secretly looking at Raffael's photo.

He just didn't want to see his family split. Maybe Lila was used to succumbing to the circumstances until now she had to suppress her trauma to be able to talk to Raffael.

Next day.

Abraham's office group.

Lila was already standing in front of the building, she repeatedly squeezed her hands, occasionally she let out a rough sigh. However, he still harbors a fear of Raffael.

"Miss!" call one of the guards standing behind Lila.

Lila who was daydreaming looked back. "Yes." Yeah."

"Are you not going in?" ask the bodyguard who was surprised because Lila continued to stand. Fortunately, it was office hours until no one noticed them.

Lila sighed again, "You wait here, let me go in by myself" said Lila.

"No Miss, Miss Keinya told me to accompany you."

"I won't be long, you wait here." Lila walked over without hearing her bodyguard's answer.

Raffae.

"Sir!" call Malik with the documents in his hand to ask for Raffael's signature.

Raffael looked at Malik, however, he looked back at the documents on his desk. Raffael is still upset at his secretary because this morning Malik with his insistence to lie to Raffael if he has a meeting with another company. Malik lied because his boss annoyed lately always ditching until Malik had to work extra alone.

"Sir!" call Malik again.

But Raffael did not answer.

"Sir, woii, sir" said Malik with regret because Raffael did not heed his call.

"I'm your boss, yes" replied Raffael who was careless because Malik was acting arbitrarily because it was still office hours.

"No, sign, if you call me," Malik replied and then he left without looking at Raffael again.

If Andra dared to speak insolently to Aska only during break or vacation, but not with Malik, he always behaved insolently to Raffael even though it was still office hours. He hopes Raffael sacked him because from the beginning he did not want to be a secretary Raffael.

Raffael shook his head at the behavior of his secretary. The phone next to him sounded soon.

"Hmm," Raffael cleared his throat as he answered the phone from his secretary room.

"Sir, someone wants to talk to you" Malik said on the phone.

"I'm busy" said Raffael, who thought Malik was just working on him because Raffael remembered he had no promise with anyone.

"Okay sir, I will tell you," Malik replied.

"Sorry Lila, Raffael seems to be nowhere to be found" Malik told Lila who was standing in front of him. Malik forgot that the phone was still in his earpiece.

Raffael, who was about to put the phone on, was shocked to hear Lila's name. He quickly ran to open the door.

And sure enough, he saw Lila standing at Malik's desk preparing to turn away.

"Came on!" call Raffael.

Lila turned to Raffael. He closed his eyes as their eyes met. But he no longer wanted to look weak. He tried to catch his breath. "Rafael, can I talk to you?" lila asked after she could control herself.

Raffael's eyes, glazed he did not expect that Lila was in front of him.

"Sure, let's go in!" take Raffael with a smile.

However, Lila did not step on her feet.

When Raffael asked him.

Lila shook her head, then she stepped on her feet after Raffael who had entered her room.

"Came on!"

"Raffael!"

They called at the same time as they entered Raffael's room.

Silent

Silent

Silent

"Raffael, I want to talk to you" said Lila breaking the silence between them.

"Sit down!"

Lila sat on the sofa, and Raffael sat in front of her.

"Lila I mint .." Raffael's words were interrupted because Lila interrupted Raffael's speech.

"Raffael, let me speak first" Lila said as she interrupted Raffael's speech.

Raffael was out.

"Raffael, I'm just here to explain something to you. I want to answer all the accusations you made on me first ... I don't know why you used to think of me as a cheap woman and I don't know what reason you're saying that I just want your family's property. But I'll explain everything now. Raffael, I had no intention or expectation of any treasure from mamih and papih, after I knew I was not a baby boy, I always felt unworthy if I accepted everything the papih gave me. For me papih and mamih did not just throw me away I was grateful, even though for 15 years I lived in fear. And I also want to explain to you, I admit Tya's mamih behavior is bad, but I swear on my life and my son's life I'm not sep ... " lila's words came to a halt as Raffael sat by her side and immediately hugged her.

"Please, don't say anything more, I know, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Lila, let me take responsibility, for you and for our son," raffael said while hugging Lila tightly. Raffael sobbed as she hugged Lila.

Lila held back her tears from breaking, and at this point she tried to be ashamed of her trauma and her fear when Raffael touched her.

"Ra-raffael I can't breathe" Lila said as she felt Raffael hugging her even tighter.

Raffael let go of her embrace, she wiped away her tears, then her hand moved cupping both of Lila's cheeks. Just now she was about to kiss Lila on the forehead, however, Lila quickly turned her face away.

Raffael again removed his hand from Lila's cheek, after which he shifted the table then he got up and knelt down. After kneeling Raffael held both of Lila's hands.

"Lila, I know, my mistake with you is huge, but allow me to take responsibility for you and for our son" Raffael said. Just now she wanted to kiss Lila's hand, but unfortunately, Lila pulled her hand again.

"Raffael, I'm not here to ask for your answer. Because I still remember what you said before that you didn't want to take responsibility and want to eliminate my son, I don't mind raising Lyo alone, I know you don't want Lyo and I don't want Lyo to get fake affection from you in the future. I just came here to settle a misunderstanding between us. And I've also asked moma and popa to forgive you. You can go home 'cause moma and popa let you in."

Hearing all Lila's words, Raffael put his head on Lila's thigh, he cried bitterly at all Lila's words. She did not expect that Lila still remembered her words about him wanting to eliminate Lyo.

But at this time he swore, he really wanted to take responsibility and really love his son.

Lila forced her way up from her seat as Raffael's sobbing grew firmer.

"I have to go, thank you for your time" Lila said as she stood up.

But soon his steps came to a halt as Raffael hugged him from behind.

"Let me hold you for a moment!" pinta Raffael's.

Lila let go of Raffael's embrace forcibly, "Go home, momma misses you."

"Lila, can I see my son?"

Lila turned to Rafaael, "Please stop calling Lyo your son, you didn't want him from the beginning, did you?" Lila walked away without hearing Raffael's answer.

Not that Lila did not want to menkanalkankan Lyo to her biological father, but, Raffael's speech when he said he wanted to kill Lyo was still embedded clearly in Lila's brain, so he could not trust Raffael.

Rafae sits back in his chair, he takes a picture frame of Lila and Lyo, then he puts it on his chest. "I can definitely get you both."
