Falling in love at first sight.
Perhaps that was how Gilang felt at this moment when he saw Regina. True said Amira, most of regina's face inherited Gilang's face. There was no need for Gilang to doubt whose blood flowed within Regina's body.
The plain-faced little girl looked at Gilang full of confusion. Perhaps he was wondering, who was the man before him, the one he had only met for the first time?
"Aunty, who is he?" ask Regina to Amira.
"It's your Daddy, Gina. It's your father."
"Dad?"
Amira nodded and smiled. "That means now I have a father and a mother, huh, aunty?"
Although with a way of talking that is still a mess, but Gilang already understood what was said by Regina.
"Dad, can Gina have a sling?" asked the little girl with eyes so innocent.
Anyone must understand the heart of Regina who must feel happy when she meets the figure of the father.
All this time he could only see his playmates hug his mother's father in full. Maybe in Regina's heart, now she can feel it too.
Without making Gina wait for an answer from Gilang, Gilang immediately grabbed the child's body and carried him into a sling.
The blood ties between them could not be doubted. I don't think it's necessary to do any tests to prove whether Gina's son or not.
The similarity of faces between them can make people who see it believe that they are father and son.
"Hi, sweet."
"My name is Gina, dad."
She was shocked to hear Gina speaking in English. Both of his eyes looked at Amira questioningly.
"My mother taught me" said Amira as if she knew what was in Gilang's head.
"Thank you for taking good care of him and educating him."
"My mom did it. I'm not sure if I'm holding Gina, Gina can grow this smart."
"Can I take him?"
Amira nodded her head. "But for a while, bring Gina back to me first. I know you need some space to solve this problem."
Gilang nodded in agreement.
***
Belva was fixated on a small figure held in her hand by Gilang. His face was very similar to Gilang. Without asking who the child was, of course Belva already knew that the child was the son of Gilang with Viona.
Belva's heart is jealous. Wasn't the child she contained the child that should have been first held by Gilang?
It seems that Belva did not accept there was another child similar to Gilang who was not born from his womb.
Belva will accept everything if the existence of the child comes from a legal marriage bond in the eyes of law and religion.
But the child is the result of adultery his parents are too wild in a relationship.
Not wanting to look at the little girl for too long, Belva turned her face away. "Why did you bring the boy here?"
"Mas wants to introduce him to you, honey."
"I don't want to know him."
"Dad, who is he?"
Belva's heart ached more and more to hear the boy calling Gilang father.
Really, he didn't hate the kid. But he hated both his parents and his behavior in the past.
"He's dad's wife, Gina."
What's-her-name? The gina? Gilang and Viona are like that? Ah, Belva's heart is no longer out of taste.
The woman deliberately named their child with a combination of their names.
"What is a wife?"
"Sometimes you'll know, sweetie."
"Can we meet mom, Dad? Gina doesn't want to be here."
Belva laughed cynically. "It's good that he doesn't want to be here. Just take him to meet his mother. Don't be here. If you want to miss it, too."
"Rubber..."
"What, Mas? Don't tell me that I should be a connecting mom for her too!"
"Then we take the middle path."
"What do you mean?"
"You choose me or him!"
"You're not an option, honey. Can you understand my position this time? Please, Bel!"
Belva's cynical laughter is back in pain. Little Gina was increasingly clueless about the debates that were taking place between the adults in front of her.
"So I'm wrong for not understanding your position?"
"It's not so, honey. But_"
"What's this about? Who's this kid?" Yunita's arrival stops the Belva and Gilang debate.
Both of them immediately fell silent. Especially when Yunita stared fixedly at Gina who was standing beside Gilang.
"Who's this kid, Lang? Why does her face look so similar to yours?"
See? Yunita who had just seen him immediately said that Gina was very similar to Gilang.
"Don't tell me this is your daughter with another girl, Lang? Who is that girl? Viona?"
Yunita was annoyed to see Gilang who just kept silent did not answer all her questions.
"Why shut up, anyway? Just answer him whose son!"
Hearing Yunita yelling at Gilang, Gina shuffled behind Gilang by tightly holding Gilang's feet.
Gina was terrified to see the adults before her who looked extremely angry.
"Yes, Ma. He's my son with Viona" replied Gilang who made Yunita sit down.
"Oh my God, Lang. What else is this?"
***
"I will take Belva back to Surabaya" said Darmawan firmly.
Gilang shook his head rejecting Darmawan's statement. "No, Pa. Belva my wife. I'm more entitled to Belva now."
"You think I'll let my son live like this with you, Lang? I won't repeat for the umpteenth time."
"Let Belva stay here with me, Pa. I'll solve this problem. I_"
"As long as you solve your problems, let me go home to Surabaya, Mas." Belva interrupted Gilang's words.
Once again Gilang shook his head firmly. "Mas needs you here, honey. You are the source of Mas's power to solve this problem. We meet Viona, and we show her that we love each other so she can't bother Mas anymore."
"Then what about the kid?" Anton sounding.
"The child is also the grandson of Papa and Mama. But Gilang also wouldn't have brought him into this family if no one wanted to."
"It can be used by Viona to keep bothering you, Lang. You didn't think you'd get there?" Yunita.
"There are many ways to make Viona stop bothering me, Ma. Including with Belva staying by my side."

Belva's attitude is still cold on Gilang. Belva still needs time to accept everything.
"Aren't you more entitled to Gilang? Fight for yours, Bel. Don't weak. Don't be easy to tell apart. You deserve to be happy with the person you love. Tests to get better are many, Bel. That's what Gilang felt. And I'm sure he needs you to stay by his side to continue supporting him." Eliza's words were still ringing when Belva told this to her best friend.
It shouldn't have to be told to anyone. But Belva felt she had to get a solution from someone else close to her.
And Eliza was the only one who gave her support to remain beside Gilang.
While the two people will actually take him back to Surabaya and separate him from Gilang, of course.
"Meet the woman with Gilang. Show that you love so much, and that woman will not easily enter your life even if there is a child between Gilang and that woman" Eliza said afterwards.
Belva took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. There is a truth to what Eliza said.
He must fight for what is his. Try to accept the fact that what happens sometimes does not match expectations.
"We'll meet the woman. Tell the woman that you won't allow her to come back into your life." Belva spoke without looking at Gilang who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Are you sure, honey?"
Belva nodded without making a sound. His feet moved out of bed to go to the bathroom. Clean yourself and dress up as beautifully as possible.
For the woman to be self-conscious that Gilang has had an angel more beautiful than herself.
