The Story Behind the Curtain
Xavier's Confession


Erli received a golden brown box from Bima, his head looking up at the face of the husband. His gaze seemed to hint that he was asking for permission to open the box, without saying anything Rafan nodded his head.


Erli held the box and opened the hook next to the box given by Bima, as the box opened clearly emblazoned with a photo of Xavier embracing Erli. Again Erli looked at her husband and clasped tightly onto Rafan's big hand, Erli's touch gave the sense that she already had no feelings whatsoever towards the late Xavier— ex-boyfriend and biological father Alkaiz.


In addition to the photo there is a Flash drive and also a watch that Erli bought for Xavier first. The watch, which only cost 500 thousand, was bought by Erli as Xavier's birthday gift while weaving, indifferent Erli noticed 3 objects that made him curious.


Although his heart was stabbed by Erli's curiosity as if he did not care about the 3 things. Without any orders Rafan moved closer to his desk reaching for the laptop he used to work on a daily basis.


The flash drive that Xavier provides only stores one file. With the seriousness of the 3 people sitting staring at the laptop screen Rafan, a twisted video looks Xavier is busy justifying the camera in front of him. As soon as he finished setting the camera position Alkaiz's biological father sat down and displayed his ironic smile that once captivated Erli.


"Hi, Mai. Howareyou? I'm sure you're very surprised by this video." Xavier smiled and tidied up the shirt he was wearing.


Mai's? Is that a nickname unfortunately to my wife? rafan asked in his heart while staring at Erli's face from the side, it looks like the woman is seriously paying attention to her late ex-boyfriend.


His eyes were very focused, did he still hold feelings towards Xavier? When Rafan was preoccupied with her daydream Erli pulled her husband's hand and tightly hugged Rafan's big arm.


"Why bengong Mas?" erli asked without turning his eyes.


"Focus on the video! Who knows what's important he's saying." Rafan stroked Erli's head with his right hand.


"You jealous, Mom?" Erli looked at her with my eyes.


"No, why are you jealous of someone who's gone? There's no reason to justify jealousy.No, why be jealous of someone who's gone? There's no reason to justify jealousy." Rafan touches Erli—'s cheek the woman he loves the most.


In the video Xavier wore a sky blue shirt—his favorite color since childhood and that color he transmitted to Erli. Rafan's wife notices Xavier's strange behavior, which is repeatedly tidying up his thin-looking hair and his face looks pale.


"I beg your pardon Mai! I ruined your life and dumped you while containing my flesh and blood. Honestly, I was happy and very surprised, too, that the woman I loved was pregnant with my son." A smile on Xavier's lips.


Erli moved uneasily hearing Xavier's statement, he did not expect that the man was happy with his pregnancy just yet. However, another question popped into his head.


"I know you must be wondering why I was rude and left you while pregnant. I did it very badly Mai, I don't want you to get hurt or hurt. In order to avoid the vile actions of my stepmother, I chose to leave you. Letting you marry that bastard," said Xavier whose face changed and whose eyes also sharpened when alluding to Erli's marriage to Rafan.


"Sucker, what did he say just now?" really Rafan glared at Xavier's face on his laptop.


"It hurts to see you hanging out with that bastard, but .. This is the best way for you and our son. After your departure from my life, my world collapsed the tranquility of my life drifted along with our sweet memories. Just so you know Mai, every day and every time I monitor your life progress with that bastard." Xavier's index teak was pointing forward even though Rafan was not in front of him at the time.


Rafan's jaw tightened and his veins stiffened, it is certain that at this time he is very emotional.


"I'm sure your bastard husband is angry and clenched his hand. I admit that he is very gentleman to accept and acknowledge our son as his son, I am very happy to see your life surrounded by good people. However, my sense of irritation caused a very high emotion. What's more hearing you honeymoon to Bali, I chose not to follow you guys because I didn't want to see the intimacy that would make me do inappropriate things."


"Good you understand, I don't like your spying attitude!" snapped Rafan with a thunderous voice.


"Jeez Rafan, you're not in your right mind?" cetus Bima who can not stand the excessive Rafan reaction.


Rafan turned his head and his eyes were sharpened like the eyes of a swooping eagle watching its prey. Not Bima if intimidated by Rafan's gaze, they attacked each other with very sharp eyes.


In the middle of their war, Erli is increasingly focused on Xavier's message in which he informs of all his actions that watched Erli from marriage until he gave birth to Alkaiz in this world.


"I was so angry with my mother who fired my personal driver, arguing that she often picked you up and drove you to see me. And lucky to see him again, he told me that you were away in wet clothes. that's why I went to your tenement and my intention to take you to the hospital instead made you emotional and yelled at you as a perverted man" Xavier said with a faint laugh.


Rafan looked back at the wife who was still staring at the laptop screen quietly.


So that time he met Xavier, I think he actually met that perverted guy back then. Inner Rafan with a happy heart Rafan hugged and kissed Erli's head.


"Get Maira well, Fan. I believe that you can love my child with all my heart, I am also proud of your firm attitude to commemorate the caterpillar. As an award, the restaurant that you manage is awarded to you and you, Mai. All of my wealth assets I've turned into yours in a moment Brian comes to give me all the power files from the assets I have. I'm also sorry for my Daddy's actions that kidnapped you, he did it because of this fucking disease!" some were long and the video just stopped.


Erli's face was without flat, but Erli's heart was filled with Xavier's words which were very impressive to him. Xavier admits that she is happy with her pregnancy. However, fate separates them and indeed they are not a match after Xavier's stepmother who does not like Erli became Xavier's companion.


Unaware of her stepmother's overprotective sense of tormenting and persecuting Xavier's inner self. Still contemplating confession at the end of Xavier's age, there was a knocking sound and an orange talking behind the door.


"Sir outside there are people who are looking for Father and Mother. Our customers were also forcibly evicted," Jingga said in a panic.


Rafan, Erli and Bima looked at each other, the worry was clearly visible on Erli's face.
