Your husband, Father of Anaku
I'm Going to Marry You

Happy reading,........

After the debate that night with Tina, Ardi felt regret. The guilt continues to haunt him. For some reason, she was afraid to lose Tina, when the woman said that she would leave when Ardi was with Mentari.

Today Ardi is going to Mentari's house to talk about Luke. He drives his car alone, because right now Ardi doesn't want Deni to come with him. But while on the way, he gets a message from someone, and it turns out it's Mentari there.

Mentari: Just come to the resto, brother. Don't go home!

The man frowned when he got a message from Mentari, then he turned his car towards a restaurant where Mentari worked. When he got there, Ardi was immediately welcome to enter the room Mentari, because the woman was waiting for him.

''What does Big Brother want to ask, and talk about?'' ask Mentari directly to the point when Ardi enters the room.

''I just came, haven't you been drinking and eating, but you've been poking me with questions?'' kekeh Ardi while sitting on the sofa.

Mentari just rolled her eyes lazily, then she stared at the man while leaning his body on the table. ''Say it!.What do you want to talk about, Mentari said without wanting to linger.

Ardi smiled obliquely, then he took out the envelope from his suit, then put it on the table. Then the man told Mentari to read it.

Mentari's forehead shriveled in surprise when she saw Ardi asking her to read an envelope, then the woman walked closer to the table and took the envelope and opened it, but her gaze turned toward Ardi. And the man only gave the code from his eyes for Mentari to quickly read.

The two beautiful round eyes looked shocked when reading the contents in the letter. Then he looked towards Ardi in confusion. Mentari seemed to not believe what he had just read, where it was written if Luke was Ardi's son.

''What does this mean, brother?'' ask the Mentari nervously.

Ardi got up from his seat, then he approached Mentari and took the letter and held it before Mentari's face, so that she could see it clearly.

''Didn't you see? This is Luke's DNA test with me. And he's my son, right? Why have you been hiding her identity from me all this time?'' asked Ardi while throwing away the paper.

Mentari looks so shocked, when Ardi knows everything. But still, in reality the truth will certainly be revealed, no matter how strong Mentari hides it all. He looked towards Ardi. ''Indeed Brother's child, why?'' Mentari said as she looked at Ardi with a defiant look.

Mentari brushed off Ardi's hand, then she turned her back to the man's body. Instantly her tears escaped wetting her cheeks, remembering how she was pregnant even to the point of giving birth, without being accompanied by Ardi at all. How he went through his bitter days, living in a city in the middle of nowhere that Mentari knew nothing at all, and had no one there.

''How am I going to tell you, sister, about my pregnancy? When I wanted to tell her, I got the news that broke my life to pieces. Where the father of my son married another woman. Do you think I'll just shut up? Nah! Who am I? I'm just an ordinary girl from the bottom, there's no way I can be with you. So I better go, let you marry Tina's mother, Mentari said in a purplish voice.

The wounds he had been covering had returned. No matter how strong she tried to be a strong woman, but still, in fact Mentari could not. His heart is too fragile for that.

''Why, then, did you not want to listen to my explanation first? Why did the play just go away?'' ask Ardi back.

''I saw Aunt Ranti's happy face, did I get that rest, saying if I was pregnant with Brother's child, then your marriage was off? No Brother! I'm not that bad, '' explained Mentari.

Ardi rubbed his face violently, then he said, I will marry you! Luke should know, if I was his father, Ardi said.

Mentari turned her body when she heard the man's words, then she shook her head quickly. It's not that he doesn't approve of Ardi's remarks, it's just that Luke would have been shocked and the boy must have been hurt, because all this time Luke knew that his father had died.

''No Brother! Not first! I'll talk slowly to Luke. He will definitely be sick and also disappointed if he knows the truth suddenly, Mentari said.

Ardi was silent for a while, then he nodded. ''Okay, tomorrow night come home! There's gonna be dinner there, and I'm gonna talk about this to mom and dad. However they should know, if Luke is his grandson.''

After saying that, Ardi walked out of the Mentari room. He was determined to marry the woman, because Tina had also allowed him to. Although actually in Ardi's heart there is concern about the decision taken, because it must risk someone's feelings, namely Tina.

But after Ardi thought about it, he could not be selfish. Luke needs a father figure, and he is his biological father. Ardi will also speak to his parents. He was sure that Ranti's mom and Randy's dad would understand her situation.

Although actually in Ardi's heart there is fear, if his mother and father will be angry when they know the truth. Surely they will be shocked, because all this time Mentari went to carry a seed in his womb which has now become a child who is so handsome and cute.

Hopefully mom and dad will be able to accept Mentari and Luke. What about Tina, huh? I need to talk to him about this.

...SERIATE.........
