Slowly the door of the room was opened. In the silence of the night there was a loud sound. The sound of the sandal tread bumping against the tiles broke the silence. A woman with slow steps walked over to the bed where there was a perfect man lying there. There's no one inside. The woman who was none other than Andrea was standing right next to her husband's bed. Dariel Lee's.
Dariel had already been transferred to the mansion on the orders of the Lee family's great mistress. He decided to take care of Dariel at home after more than three months of his only child was not yet conscious.
After asking permission from Mrs Lee and Aletta, Andrea entered the main room where Dariel was, tomorrow morning he will take a flight out of the country with Arumi.To accompany his mother was doing work there. Probably long. A month? Two months? Andrea doesn't know and doesn't want to know. Sooner or later, he had to lift his legs and sit on the bed.
"Hey.wake up!" with a trembling voice he spoke. "Master, you're not a sleeping princess! why did you sleep so long? Open your eyes and look at me! look at me as you always like to look at me, do it again! I want to see your beautiful eyes again Sir!" hang down for a while and start sobbing. Then he looked at Dariel's face again. "Don't you like me crying? Why make me cry? Bad husband!" the stuffing became clearer, then peeked the old man's forehead. "My husband dear, happy birthday.. Come wake up and look at our son! You've been waiting for his presence for a long time, haven't you? Then why is it like this? Is there anything more interesting in dreams? It's been three months, come back and say good-bye to me.."
Andrea was also laying down beside Dariel's body, hugging in search of the warmth she longed for. Started talking again as if beside her Dariel was listening.
"Sir, remember nothing about my pictures? Actually I want to give it to you today.Will you see it later after waking up? I left it to the big lady. I have to go, I've got our son, I've given him a name, I hope you like it. Don't look for me and don't hate me, okay? Maybe our soul mate line is here. I will always pray for your happiness and that of our children. You're two handsome men! I love you both, I love you." Darel cheeked.
"Hopefully after you realize later you can accept with great heart my decision. Believe me it's not easy for me either for Mrs Aletta. He's so loyal, he deserves you more. Don't leave it please.." hug again. A moment of silence.
Andrea closed her eyes. It absorbed the warmth emanating from that stiff body. I mean to spend a few moments for the last time.
The sound of knocking on the door made Andrea regain her senses. Not yet he had time to open the door, the door had been opened from the outside and showed the beautiful face of Aletta.
"How long are you going to be inside?" Cynical. A look of dislike immediately emanated when he saw the position of Andrea who was naked with her husband. Andrea down. Just now he stood Aletta violently throwing the map that he had been holding right to Andrea's face.
"Sign that and get your feet up from here!" Andrea opened the contents of the map and her eyes were rounded.
"Sign!" giving Andrea a ballpoint pen. "You said you'd leave Dariel after your son was born, right? Then do! Don't embarrass your family because you're a husband-teaser who won't keep his word!" Andrea stared in disbelief at Aletta. It was so rude for the woman to talk.
"Why?you wanna get mad?did I say it wrong?" defiant. Andrea tried to restrain her emotions. Threw a pen in Aletta's hand, shortly before signing the contents of the map which is none other than a divorce lawsuit for Dariel, she took to look at the calm face of her husband, trying to convey a million apologies for this.
"Thank you." said Aletta as soon as Andrea finished her signature. Aletta wanted to get out but as quickly as lightning Andrea tried to hold the woman's arm.
"Don't advise me!!" snapped Aletta. Since the night of Dariel's accident he became very upset with Andrea, but at first he had intended to treat Andrea well at least until the baby he contained was born for the sake of Dariel. For love. In fact, he couldn't stand it. They're even talking to each other again right now after the hospital fight. "You should have glazed over before advising me, See if you deserve to talk to me like that? You're the cause of all my injuries! I can still see your face alone it's already an incredible power that I have!"
"I'm sorry. I am guilty indeed. But I really have no intention of taking him! I even sincerely gave my son to strengthen the relationship between the two of you! please don't think badly of me..."
"If you don't want me to think badly of you then quickly disappear from my life, Dariel's life and ours are all Rea!! don't show your face again! I wish you happiness!" after saying so Aletta left. Andrea wiped away her tears that had come out without a sound.
Madam Lee looked down at Andrea who stepped down through the connecting stairs down and up. Dariel junior's holding was crying. It was as if his mother wanted to leave him.
"Rare you sure you don't want to stay?" ask Mrs Lee. Andrea shook her head with an forced smile. Andrea took over her son from Mrs Lee. Trying to calm the one month old baby.
"Honey.relax.. We'll video call a lot later okay? You stay with Dad and Oma. Don't cry cup cup cup..." As if understanding, Dariel junior's cries slowly subsided. Long asleep in his mother's arms.
"Madam, I apologize for all my mistakes." said Andrea farewell after putting her son in Mrs Lee's arms back. "Titip my son.." Madam Lee nodded.
"Blessed, baby.. Call me often.." Andrea nodded back. Arumi who accompanied her son at that time could only be silent. Don't know what to say. He had already persuaded Andrea to just take her son away. Dariel was also unconscious. But basic, somehow Andrea inherited more of her father's nature than her, Andrea grew up to be a woman who likes to care for others just like Malik used to be. It is still clear Andrea's answer when Arumi discussed the matter of wanting to bring her child.
"It's not just about my promise. It's also about my time as a woman, as a wife and as a daughter-in-law. If I bring this child, more hearts will be broken because of my selfishness. It can't be, those who are good deserve kindness too, this is all I can do, I have nothing more to give in exchange if I take this child away. Mrs Lee and Mrs Aletta had already lost half their lives when Dariel fell into a coma, and I would have felt so brazen to have brought the other half of their lives, namely the flesh and blood of Dariel... This child belongs to them, not to me Mom. Calm down, I can call Mrs Lee and shut up if you miss my son. Mrs Lee herself said I could call her."
After they both said goodbye, Andrea still took the time to see her son through the window of Arumi's car. Waving unwillingly. Madam Lee smiled sadly looking at the departure of her second daughter-in-law. She was still standing in the garage until the car that Andrea was riding lost sight, just as Aletta who was staying in the balcony of the room witnessed Andrea's separation from her baby. He felt guilty for that woman too. It was like it wasn't him. Was he so rude? But what mistake did he do? He just wanted to protect his love. Aletta exhaled a rough breath.
