The Shackles of Second Love
38
Fabian's appetite disappears when he hears that Mia is visiting his father at the office.
He will not accept the woman showed her existence in the company owned by his father as a new woman in lieu of his mother.
“Where are you going?” Laura held Fabian's hand when she saw the man was about to leave.
“I want to expel the woman.” replied Fabian with a face that looks to hold back anger.
Laura was surprised, the woman stood up and tried to stop her husband's intentions.
“Honey, I think it was not the right decision.” Laura said.
“You can trigger a commotion later,” Laura really hope that Fabian will listen to her.
But it seems like Fabian's current anger is difficult to quell, so the man ignores his wife's words. And still went to approach his father and his mistress.
Laura did not want Fabian to be rash and make a scene there, she then followed her husband who was on his way to Hartono's room.
Along the way, Fabian kept clenching both of his hands because of his anger which he could no longer bear.
“Pak, you can't enter.” Jelita, Hartono's secretary, arrested Fabian who was about to open the door to Hartono's room.
“Who can you ban me?!” asked Fabian made Jelita's guts instantly shrivel.
Jelita has been ordered by Hartono not to let anyone in for now.
“But, Pak— this command of the president..”.
Before Jelita could finish speaking, Fabian opened the door of her father's room and the man found Mia feeding her father.
Fabian snorted at the scene that managed to make him even more inflamed it was. While Hartono who realized the arrival of his son just stood up.
“Who allows login without command?” ask Hartono wrathfully.
Fabian ignored his father's sharp question, the man walked up to the two with his fierce eyes looking at Mia.
PLAKK!
Fabian slaps Mia's cheek with the back of her hand, “Fucking woman!”
“FABIAN!” Hartono yelled at his son without hesitation, the two men's black obsidian showed how angry he was at Fabian's attitude towards his beloved woman.
“Who taught you to hurt a woman?!”
“Dad! Of course it was my father who taught me!” Fabian replied to Hartono and managed to make his father silent.
Mia closed her eyes withholding the pain in her cheek from Fabian's slap. He did not expect that the man would dare to slap him.
“What did you forget? Dad has also hurt a woman, which is Mom!”
“Do you think hurting someone is just about physical attacks?!” Fabian asked but Hartono was still unmoved.
Looking at his silenced father, Fabian then rolled his eyes to again intimidate Mia.
The woman took cover behind her father's back, until Fabian decided to pull the woman's arm so that she could see the woman's loser face clearly.
“JALANG!” Fabian snapped at Mia.
“HOW DARE YOU SET FOOT IN THIS COMPANY!”
“YOU WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE THAT YOU'VE GOTTEN RID OF MY MOTHER? RIGHTLY SO, ******?!”
Mia cried sobbing was yelled all out by Fabian, she was embarrassed and also humiliated.In addition to her silence Hartono added to the pain in Mia's heart.
Why didn't Hartono defend him? Why would the man allow himself to be yelled at like this by his son?
“How would you feel if your husband left you for another woman?!” asked Fabian without lowering his high tone.
Fabian had not been silent because he was sincere about what happened to his mother. He only tried to restrain himself because at that time the woman who had damaged the household of his parents had left.
But this time he obviously could not resist to vent all the anger that he had been craving for his father and Mia.
Not after the two men acted like shameless doers in the pain his mother received.
“You're not married yet, so you don't feel what my mother feels because of your despicable actions!”
Mia thinks Fabian's words are much more painful than the man's slap. Fabian's words so pierced right into the heart of his heart.
Hartono had been silent since then and let Mia be bullied by her son, because honestly he was also contemplating every word that came out of Fabian's mouth.
“Nak, stop blaming him. It's all dad's fault.” Hartono tried to stop Fabian in a pleading tone.
“This is all dad's fault! Dad does not deserve to dodge!” sahut Fabian while holding back his tears spilled.
“Till any time I will never forgive you and you must remember that God never sleeps!
If you do not have time to feel the consequences of your affair, then just prepare your descendants who will feel it!”

“Mia—”
Hartono tries to approach Mia who has been crying since their return from the office. The woman silenced Hartono earlier, and it made the man feel guilty.
“I'm sorry.” said the man sounded very sorry.
Mia sobbed softly when she heard it. Maybe Mia was quite understanding with Hartono's attitude earlier, that man must also be in a dilemma. But Mia really hopes that Hartono will show a little attitude in protecting himself from Fabian's slurs.
But Hartono was silent as if Fabian's actions and words were true.
“Why did you shut up?” mia asked with a sharp glare.
“You also think that all Fabian's words are true? Aye right?” ask again.
“We are both evil, just accept the fact!” mia half yelled.
Hartono swiftly pulled Mia in his arms, trying to calm the woman down so as not to hurt herself.
“I am wrong, you are not wrong at all.” said Hartono.
“I was wrong for hurting Sharon and you.” whispered that Mia's crying became even more so.
Mia did not expect that falling in the pool of love could be painful like this. He also did not think that being entangled in love, would make him bored like this.
Why should such feelings be present?
Why should his love fall on someone who shouldn't.
“Should we end all this?” Mia asked in despair.
Hartono shook his head slowly, he silenced Mia's mouth with his lips. Hartono hated to hear that phrase come out of the mouth of his beloved woman.
He can't let the woman go from his life, not after he has lost everything to risk his feelings for Mia.
“None of us can end this relationship.” said Hartono.
“We have just started, and we just need to step forward to organize our new love life.”
Hartono apologized to Sharon, and he thought it was more than enough to make him free from his mistakes.
