Trapped by One Night's Mistakes
Chapter 88.

Queen and the entire Mahaprana family walked towards the ICU room, obviously everyone was astonished because the woman took them there. While the Emperor continues to guess who they will meet, his mother Prince or even Prince himself?

"Why come here?" being too curious, Frans finally opened his voice.

"Don't you ask where they are now?" Queen replied to him with a question as well. And Frans just nodded.

"Look at the lady there!" The Queen pointed to Chaiyya, who was standing on her back, as she was looking at Prince from behind the ICU's glass. "He's Aunt Chaiyya, Prince's mother."

Everyone gasped to hear him, with quick steps, Frans walked up to him. While the Emperor could only fall silent with his heartbeat getting more and more unnerving.

"If his mother was here, would Prince ...?" inner Emperor. His heart began to feel anxious.

"Good morning." Frans greeted Chaiyya after their distance was close.

"Good morning." Chaiyya suddenly turned around, she narrowed her eyes to notice Frans' familiar face, but forgot where to meet? Due to the increasing age, it clearly renews the shape of the face and body. Moreover, that night Chaiyya only saw his face faintly because his gaze was blurred due to drunkenness and when he woke up, Frans was no more.

"Sorry, have we met before?" tanya Chaiyya shriveled. He's still trying to remember.

"I ... I'm the one who ... that night ...." Frans was unable to finish his sentence, he had already bowed down full of regret.

But Chaiyya knew very well his point, the woman's eyes were round while covering her mouth that was open with the palm of her hand.

"I'm sorry." said Frans Lirih.

"You ruined my life!"

Frans nodded. "Yes, I know."

"Do you also know how much I've suffered over the years? I was kicked out of my village, my parents died of shame and I had to live alone without family. Do you know that?" Chaiyya spoke softly as she wiped away her tears. Frans was growing more and more filled with regret.

Queen, Rossana and Laura are also unable to hold the day. Which woman's heart is not sad to see another woman crying and hurt so deeply. While the Emperor was getting more and more riled up, he really did not expect that it would all be like this.

Laura stepped closer to Chaiyya and clasped her hands. "I'm sorry my son. I really regret what he did. As a mother, I felt I had failed to educate her. I'm sorry."

Laura bowed and cried. Rossana came closer and rubbed Laura's back.

"Sir, please forgive my husband. Over the years he harbored guilt, he always tried to find the whereabouts of Mbak in order to apologize and take responsibility for what he has done in the past." rossana said while wiping her tears.

Chaiyya was really stunned at Rossana's kindness, how could a wife support her husband to make up for his past mistakes so sincerely? There was no trace of jealousy in his eyes. What is that woman's heart made of?

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. What should I do to make up for my mistake?"

"none. There's nothing you can do anymore!"

"Then tell me, where is the boy? Let me know him and take responsibility." Frans looked with a pleading gaze.

Chaiyya was a little surprised to hear that, from where could Frans know about her son? But he did not ask or answer, he just turned his head and looked back at Prince from behind the glass. Frans followed his gaze and gasped at the sight of someone lying weakly inside.

"Is he my son?" frans asked with teary eyes.

Chaiyya nodded. "Yes, he's Prince. Your son."

Everyone was astonished, not expecting Prince to be so close to his father. While the Emperor could only gulp down spit many times, his neck was like it was suffocating to the point that he felt difficulty breathing. Guilt began to gnaw at his heart, indeed he did not expect to have made his own brother on the verge of death.

"What's going on?" Frans turned to look at Chaiyya.

Chaiyya let out a heavy sigh, then told her what happened to Prince. Frans clenched his hands with hardened jaws, angry at what had befallen the son.

"I will pursue the culprit to the ends of the world though, he must pay for all his deeds" Frans grumbled. The emperor was getting misbehaved, his heart pounding. The Queen noticed the Emperor's tense and agitated look.

"Why is it so tense?" ask Queen with probing eyes.

"Hem, ti-no .. that's okay." The Emperor was nervous and tried to control himself.

"Isn't it because you just found out that Prince is your brother and you've been trying to finish him off?" syndicate Queen.

The Emperor spontaneously looked at the Queen. "Where do you know?"

And the question that came out of his mouth was a big mistake, indicating that he was the culprit.

"Where do I know?" Queen frowning. "That means right, you did it!" accuse the Queen of no-holds-barred.

The Emperor's eyes were round because he realized the mistake made him get caught and unlucky again at the same time Channa who from the canteen came and heard their chatter.

"So you did it?" Channa stared intently at the Emperor with a hardened jaw and was not yet aware of Frans' existence.
