The Unacknowledged Seed

The Unacknowledged Seed
Revenge of two women


Weekends are Rafael's time with his father. It was customary that every weekend the boy would spend time with the father. Although he was a child, he was a smart and understanding child. He never asked why and why his parents could not live together like any other family. Although sometimes he wants to be like his friends who sometimes tell me what it's like to vacation with his complete family.


Rafael, who was still sitting on the kindergarten bench, was listening from a distance because he was trying not to envy his other friend. However, if anyone asks then Rafael will answer honestly. He also often vacationed with his father or mother even at the same time.


This morning Rafael prepared his need to stay at his father's house for two days. Precisely in the house of Oma and Opanya also because the father lives with them. Although there are many people there and so noticed does not make him a spoiled child. The teachings of the mother remain he applies anywhere.


"You, you're ready, son. Your father has come" said Mishel to call the son.


"I'm ready, Mom." Even though at Oma and Opanya's house she doesn't lack anything she still carries some of her needs.


"Let me bring you, come on." Mishel brought the son's backpack.


In front of the house, a handsome man in a white shirt suit was already waiting. He was standing next to the car, as usual he was just waiting outside the house. Never once had Mishel lived in a house that he bought himself, Marco went inside because indeed the host had never invited him even if it was just pleasantries. Marco was not too lazy to just enter.


"Dad ...."


The call from the son awakened Marco from his mind who wandered somewhere. He looked up and smiled at his son. Actually not only on weekends he can meet, when any ordinary day can but specifically on weekends Rafael can only stay at his home.


"Dad champ." Marco stretched out his arms and bent his knees to greet the son who ran towards him.


"Be careful, boy!" mishel shouted to see his son running so fast. He realized that the son must be so enthusiastic every time he met his father.


"Dad too son, I miss you all the time." They hugged tightly. Luckily he was able to get this close to the son when he did not admit it. Marco once thought his son might hate him one day if he knew what his father had done to his mother.


After being satisfied to give up longing, Rafael also entered the car first leaving his parents who as usual are still awkward despite having walked five years they know each other.


"Hmm Rafael, he's getting smarter now sometimes like to make strange experiments. Please don't let him make a fuss in the papah house and make trouble for them" Mishel said.


"Rafael is their grandson so they will never feel bothered. Oh yeah, let's leave something for you for a second." Marco took a parcel in the back seat.


"This ..."


"Your mother's word must not be rejected. You should come at their wedding anniversary party. Rafael would also be happy to see you coming" said Marco. "Then I'll go now."


"Let's go, dad" called Rafael who was impatient to meet Oma and Opanya.


"Ok boy, I'm coming." Before leaving Marco smiled at Mishel.


Mishel waved at the son. These two days he will definitely be lonely but even though Rafael is spending time with his father's family, the boy never forgets his mother at home. Usually he would make frequent video calls, telling me whatever he was doing there.


Before entering Mishel made a parcel containing a dress for her. Every year Marco's parents did hold a wedding anniversary party and Mishel always got an invitation but he never came because he felt inappropriate especially at the party was definitely a lot of colleagues and their business partners who was like a real parent to Mishel. Does he have to come this time?
