The One More Chance
A dozen Years Ago

"Gea's not my real son, Ara".

Abra repeated the sentence again because he saw that Zahra was still silent and did not show any reaction.

Both of Abra's hands clasped Zahra's hands. "i wanted to say it that day, but you're gone" Abra said holding her hand. "she's pregnant with her boyfriend".

They're speechless.

Even Zahra sharpened his eyes to bring himself back. "your explanation when it will not change anything, at that time I will still leave you because you have broken your own promise" he said firmly without doubt.

Abra looked at him in despair. "I realized I made a big decision without asking for your opinion, but at that time I married her just for the sake of father status on the birth certificate, I didn't love her anymore. All just for the sake of giving the child status alone, nothing more. "

Zahra's head shook in an inexhaustible manner with what Abra said, a ridiculous excuse for self-justification.

"you think the status on the birth certificate is enough for the child?" Zahra brushed off Abra's hand. "do you think dekta's name status can save the boy's future at school?, no Abra. You should not be divorced with your first love, if it was all for the sake of the baby she was carrying, you should have just continued to be completing that kindness of your heart until she got married".

Zahra's eyes glazed over. "whose rightful truth as a child on the deed won't interfere with his growth, but at school, his peers will ask him where your father is?, why not pick you up with your mother?".

With teary eyes Zahra looked at Abra, touching Abra's soft jaw. "the boy will ask you to answer his friend's questions. And every answer you will give your son, will stop how their future is".

When little Regan asks about her father, Zahra gets stuck. Hugging Regan and saying Arz is Mother's son, Arz has a father. But Mother and Father separated, forgive Mother can not bring Arz and Father together. Bubda apologized, and Zahra continued to say sorry.

Abra seemed to be swept away in Zahra's gaze which implied a deep heartache. "even though the child was not an illegitimate child though, who would people ask why his parents never met him together?. this leads to other assumptions that will affect the child. Sometimes he'll meet you with his innocent look".

Zahra's voice slowly disappeared, Abra's reddened eyeballs looked at her pity, her eyes began to glaze over at Zahra deeply. He squeezed a squeeze in his chest.

What Zahra had said seemed to be an outpouring in her heart all along. Abra could not imagine what Zahra was answering at that time, what was it like in FTV that he would say if his father died?.

Nervously Abra again clasped Zahra's two challenges and kissed her. "you yourself... What do you say to Regan if you ask about me?".

Zahra was about to move away, the clap of Abra's hands touching Zahra's arms made Zahra not wrinkle, and squeezing her forced her to look back at Abra as before.

"what did you say to Regan?, answered" he forced him into a hoarse voice.

"sorry" great-grandson of Zahra, Zahra's chief bowed deeply, closing his eyes.

Abra's shoulders slumped.

"i apologized to him, when he asked where his father was I could only say sorry I couldn't bring him and his father together... ".

Abra sighed in relief, she was moved, happy to hear it. On the other hand he realized that he had actually hurt Zahra indirectly for many years even though they were separated.

It was not himself who was sniffed and suffering from their separation, but Zahra, even Regan as well. He has made mistakes without thinking long, without thinking about the impact.

"Sorry" Abra danced Zahra's body in her arms.

Zahra's body squeezed out instantly letting Abra hug her. Zahra rebuked in Abra's arms, repeatedly saying an apology while stroking her hair.

Zahra wept increasingly so-so that a rush, as if to bring out what had been hidden so far, until Zahra's body increasingly softened not strong standing. Making Abra tighten his arms so that Zahra does not fall. He hated himself even more.

Behind Regan's bedroom door, Aslan heard everything, and she wanted to go out to help Zahra after the prayer, but she overheard their argument. His hand took off the doorway, only now did he hear Zahra's roaring cry.

Malvin said, There is an incoming message from Ibn.

Malvin looked at Gea sitting on his bike watching Regan from earlier. After some deliberation, Malvin approached Gea and decided to do what he was told to do right now.

"what do you want to talk to Regan about?" malvin asked after arriving in front of Gea.

Gea's hand pushes Malvin's body aside, blocking his view, noticing Regan training his underclassmen.

Back Malvin stood right in front of Gea. "answer first" said Malvin firmly.

"om again seriously".

Gea's lips immediately piqued his annoyance. "want to apologize, because Mami made Daddy and the Mother separated" Gea replied lightly.

"it's not your fault why apologize?".

"all because of Mami, and I'm Mami's son".

Malvin sighed. "then?".

"ask him to persuade his Mother to return to Daddy".

The thought of a child is too simple. "Feelings can't be forced on Gea, you can't interfere with adult matters".

Shut up, Gea paused for a moment and smiled. "but Gea reluctantly apologized, so that people who hated Gea did not increase".

Malfin's hand stroked the top of Gea's head dearly. "Nobody hates you if you're a good boy".

While Gea's eyes glazed over at Malvin. "there, although Gea always tried to be a good boy, there were still those who hated and disliked the existence of Gea around them".

"Om knows. great-grandfather" Gea's voice began to hoarse. "She never smiled at Gea, because all she wanted, the highly educated ganendra meat lady" Gea smiled and her lips trembled. "i'm not Ganendra, but Daddy sent me to an expensive school" Gea's tears began to trickle down. "so I wanted to persuade him to accept Grandpa Buyut's offer, so that Grandpa Buyut smiled every time he saw Gea even though Gea was not his great-grandson, even though he did not love Gea as well, grandpa Buyut doesn't hate Gea".

"Geea...".

"if Regan refuses, Grandpa Buyut must have Daddy return Gea to Mami and Grandpa Buyut would have hated Gea even more".

Seeing Gea so bad made Malvin feel sorry for him. Gea and Regan are the same age, Regan who seems indifferent but secretly digs information and can control themselves well. But Gea knew nothing, blaming himself for the actions of his mother whom he did not fully understand.

It turns out what Grandpa Arya ordered as if he had guessed what the child would feel in front of him.

Malvin's hand fiddled with his hp. "you don't know the real problem don't you?" he asked without seeing Gea nodding her head. "Om will give you all the information you want to know, as long as tomorrow's appointment is back to Jakarta, because you have to go to school".

Gea stopped crying and pouted. "but Gea wanted to talk to Regan's sister".

"yes, promise to return to Jakarta, Om tell you what happened a dozen years ago, you talk to Regan , then tomorrow back to Jakarta. How?, deal?".

Gee thought as she blinked her eyes. "ok".

"good".

Kling...

"Om already sent what you want to know, listen, read slowly and understand.We finished training in an hour".

Gea simply winked, staring at her phone displaying the notification.

When did I give you my number?

Malvin sends a recording of Zahra and Regan's conversation, as well as some notes that Regan collects on her leptop that she manages to steal.
