Whose Seed is in My Womb?
NOT TAKING ONE'S SIDE

Miss Risa was shocked to see Romeo come home battered. He who was making cake dough just left it and approached Romeo.

"Why is it like this?" Miss Risa touched Romeo's face while crying. Which mother does not break her heart to see her son battered.

"Aw..sick Ma'am." Romeo grimaced as his wound touched his mother's finger.

"Sorry, sorry." Miss Risa took her hand away from Romeo's face and wiped away the tears. He walked quickly to the medicine depository and took the basin and cold water to clean Romeo's wounds.

"What happened to Meo, why is it like this? Who are you fighting?" Miss Risa compresses the wound on Romeo's face with tears in her eyes.His hands tremble every touch of the wound, as if she will, she feels the pain

Seeing Romeo holding his stomach, Miss Risa immediately pulled on the shirt her son was wearing. "Astaghfirullah." Screamed Miss Risa when she saw the bruise on Romeo's stomach and chest. It turns out not only on the face, but almost all over his body.

"Meo don't cry, ma'am, don't cry." Romeo tried to wipe away his mother's tears.

"What's this Meo, mom's story?"

"Haikal just beat him up, ma'am." Sahutan Haikal made Miss Risa and Romeo immediately turned to the source of the voice. "Mom could have hidden his crime all along. Did you know that he raped Rere? That's why I'm blessing her marriage to Rere?" Haikal looked very angry.

Miss Risa lowered her hand which was holding a cloth to compress Romeo's wound. Take the medicine and then apply it on the wound.

"Why are you silent? Is it true what Haikal said, I know everything?" Haikal was furious because his mother was silent.

Miss Risa put the medicine back on the table. Sighs deeply and stares at Haikal. "Yes, I know."

Both Haikal's palms were automatically clenched. His teeth were grinding as he looked at Romeo.

"Why did you shut up? Why didn't you tell me the truth? If I had known Rere was raped in the first place, I wouldn't have canceled our marriage." Haikal's eyes are glazed. He recalled what he used to accuse Rere. "Why did Mom even side with Meo?"

Miss Risa shook her head quickly. "That's not true, son. I'm not taking sides with anyone between the two of you. I just want what's best for you."

"Best?" Haikal smiled obliquely. "Best for Meo, but not for me." Haikal pointed to himself.

Again Miss Risa shook her head. She wiped away the tears that had soaked her cheeks. "Did you forget Haikal, I asked before I gave Romeo my blessing. If Rere was really raped, would you still want to marry her? And you answered no at that time. I hope you haven't forgotten what you said."

Haikal clucked slowly. Sorry I used to say that. But at that moment, he was angry at Rere.

"But why didn't I tell you that Meo raped Rere?"

"I can Ma'am. I can because I love Rere."

Miss Risa shook her head and walked over to Haikal.

"It won't be as easy as just saying the word son. You and Meo are brothers. You will always interact. Another case if it's someone else. Maybe over time the wound was gone because you didn't see the man's face. But Meo, you're gonna keep in touch because you're brothers."

Haikal closed his eyes. His mother was right, it's not easy. This is why Gina chose Romeo to rape Rere. In order to arrive at any time, and even though he already knows the truth, Haikal still will not be able to be with Rere.

"Mother is afraid that if you get married, your household will not be happy. You're gonna hate Meo for life and probably won't want to see him because it can cause injuries. And Rere, he'll be tormented with guilt on you. And one more thing, there will be a kid who will always remind you that Rere was touched by another man. I'm afraid you won't be happy if you're forced to get married. I'm doing this because I want you to be happy Haikal." Miss Risa grabbed Haikal's hand and held it.

"You can forget about Rere and get another woman. Living happily without being haunted by discomfort. While Meo, mother felt she was obliged to take responsibility for her actions. Perhaps by marrying Rere, he could forgive himself a little for ruining the life of an innocent girl."

"I'm sorry Kal. I swear, I don't know if the woman I tainted that night was your future wife."

Haikal just kept quiet to hear Romeo's apology. He recalled the words of Febbi, if Gina had deceived Romeo by taking advantage of her grudge.

"But what you're doing is still Meo's fault. Whoever that woman is, Rere or your stepdaughter, you don't deserve to abuse her."

"Yes, you're right. I was wrong, and I will never seek justification for what I did. I'm even ready to go to jail. I'm ready to take responsibility for what I did."

Miss Risa closed her eyes. Although Romeo said she was ready to go to jail, but as a mother, she was clearly not ready. He won't be able to see his son crouching behind bars.

"Mom's gonna come out Rere. If necessary, I'll kneel at their feet so they don't report Meo to the police." Miss Risa wiped her tears. Hurry into the room to pick up the bag and go see Rere's family.

"Mother, please don't do that." Haikal held his mother's arm. He couldn't see his mother go down like that.

"Take off Kal's mother, I have to go to Rere's house."

Romeo moved from his seat and approached his mother. "Already, ma'am, let those who make the decision. Do not entangle them with mother's request. Rere deserves justice ma'am. If they don't report Meo, that means Gina will also be free from punishment."

"But I don't want you in Meo's prison, I don't want to." Miss Risa hugged Romeo while crying.

Even though her two children forbid, she will still be determined to meet Rere's family to apologize.
