The Secretaries
CHAPTER 39
“But I don't want to disturb your household. I don't want to ruin everything, Darren.” Shani started sobbing.
“Shuttt…. No, you can not think so,” said Darren as he quickly cupped Shani's face. “From now on you don't blame yourself. Okay?”
Shani also nods because of Darren's gentle speech and warm eyes. As soon as Shani calms down, Darren starts hugging the woman again. Still in the hospital room there, they, Shani and Darren, both of them vent their feelings of paralysis that gradually began to fade.

The next day Darren had just arrived home at about half-time at 7am. Wirawan, Fiona, and Zaila seemed to have enjoyed half their breakfast. Darren approached the three at the dinner table.
“Where were you last night?” wirawan asked as Darren had just sat down to the chair.
“From home Shani.” Darren replied indifferently reluctantly staring at his papa and Zaila started pouring some rice pangs for him.
Wirawan suddenly hit the table making his ex-wife and children very surprised, except Darren. “Do you make it to the bitch's house? Here is Zaila you should take care of!” wirawan glared at his son.
Darren then turned to Wirawan. “And at Shani's house, there is Shani and Darren's child candidates who must also Darren urusin.” Darren took a pause. “Papa can not understand the position of Darren for now? Darren's dizzy again, Pa. So please, Papa stops protesting and nagging to Darren.”
“But she is not your wife. Zaila's your wife. You have more right to take care of Zaila than that obscure woman,” Wirawan told Darren.
“Then Papa and Mama can help Darren, right? Here there is still Papa with Mama who can take care of Zaila. Lagian Zaila can also take care of herself.” Answer Darren.
“Darren! Your wife is pregnant.”
“Darren tau.” Darren kept staring at his annoyed papa. “Dan Darren understands that Zaila also needs Darren.” He took a pause for a moment. “But Shani needs Darren far more, Pa. He lived alone and there was nothing he could do about these problems. Does Papa not pity? Shani is also pregnant with Papa's grandson Mama.”
“You really are a child who can not be set,” exclaimed Wirawan looking hard at Darren's eyes.
“Papa area. Darren tired of gladenin Papa continues.” Darren left the dining room and left the rice on his plate intact.
After Darren's departure, Fiona began rubbing Zaila's back in the seat to her right. Since hearing Darren's speech that seemed to side with Shani, Zaila's tears continued to drip. Zaila was embittered and felt neglected as her husband's legal wife.
“You are patient with Darren's attitude,” Fiona said staring sadly at her ex-boyfriend.
Zaila quickly wiped her tears and turned to Fiona. “Iya, Ma.” He smiled with a heart so sore.

Fiona approaches Darren, who is closing her eyes while she sits in the poolside lounge chair of her house.
“Darren,” call Fiona after sitting in the other seat to the right of Darren's seat.
“Mama wants to apologize to you,” chirps Fiona suddenly make Darren start to open his eyes. “If there is a problem, please tell Mama. Mama wants to hear your complaints, the things you have experienced, and Mama also wants to hear about whatever you want.
Darren looked at Fiona grinning in the same position, lying on her chair. “Mama wants to hear the things Darren wants? Did Darren hear wrong? How can Mama want to hear if whatever Darren wants to do, it is always not right for Mama with Papa.”
“Therefore, Darren. That's why this time Mama wants to hear about your problems. Mom doesn't want you to keep living like this. Mama wants you to be a responsible husband, a man who loves his wife and his future children. Don't you feel sorry for Zaila?”
“Keep Mama don't pity me?” Darren threw back the question. “Do you not feel sorry for your own child?”
Fiona kept staring sadly at Darren's eyes.
“If I hadn't been bego and Mama same Papa didn't force me to marry Zaila, surely now I'm happy with Shani, Ma.”
“Soal Shani, is she really pregnant with your child? Are you sure it's your child?”
“So Mama doesn't believe it? Does Darren need a DNA test? Does Darren need to reveal that Darren raped Shani again?”
Fiona's heart immediately nelangsa. He failed to educate his son to be a good man. Fiona realizes that reining in Darren and forcing him to do things that the child does not like has made Darren have the wrong character, a perverted and rebellious character.
“Darren just love with Shani, Ma. Darren wants to take responsibility for all the mistakes Darren has made. But now it's too late.” Darren took a short pause while continuing to stare at his mother. “Because Mama and Papa told Darren to marry a woman who can't and never seems to be able to love Darren, Darren became hurt.”
“And therefore it is not only Darren that is destroyed. But Shani too, Ma. She was even more devastated that she had to endure her pregnancy alone. Shani refuses to marry Darren because she does not want Darren and Zaila's household to fall apart. She's a good girl, Ma. But this Mama's son, this Mama's son who with his assholes has made him suffer.”
Fiona's eyes are glazed. He no longer knew what to say to Darren. Fiona was completely confused.
Darren sat facing his mother who was also sitting facing him. Darren grabbed both Fiona's hands while looking at her pleading. “So please, Ma. Darren is asking for help from Mama so that Mama can prevent Papa from doing bad things to Shani. If Papa has Shani, Darren is also sick.”
Fiona then hugged her only son, stroked his back, and shed tears there.
“Mama can you help Darren? Shani is also pregnant with Mama's granddaughter. Darren does not want prospective children Darren in the stomach Shani why-napa.”
“Iya, Mama will help you.” Fiona took off her embrace and switched to cupping Darren's face. “From now on you don't worry and curse yourself. Mama will be good with Shani, Mama will also try to catch him. You believe in Mama,” Fiona assured Darren.
“Mama serious?”
Fiona nodded with her cheeks wet from tears. “Iya, for your sake. Mama will sell anything for the sake of Mama's child.” Fiona hugged her son again.
