A Husband's Love

Sinta Decision

"I just want to cut her hair a little ma, just calm down!. I'm not gonna hurt this asshole. We have to do a DNA test between mama and Andre. I'm afraid Andre isn't your son, maybe he switched his time in the hospital. His attitude and behavior are very different from ours" Andi replied casually

Andi pointed his scissors towards Andre's head, as fast as Andre's lightning dodged.

"Didn't you see I look like papa in his youth?, look!" andre said annoyed. Andre pointed to a large photo on the wall of the room. Wedding photo papa Rahmat and mama Ningsih. All eyes turned towards the photo. It does. Papa Rahmat looks like Andre in his youth.

"There's no DNA test, I'm purely my father's son" Andre said, pulling scissors from Andi's hand.

"Already, already. Andi sat down, do not make the atmosphere worse" said Papa Rahmat firmly. Andi sat back down.

Papa Rahmat breathed a sigh of relief as well as the others. Andre, who had been holding back a pee, stood up from his seat.

"Where are you going?, sit down!" bayu's orders are firm

"You go to the bathroom, sis," replied Andre slowly. In a hurry Andre walked towards the bathroom.

"Love, forgive us, son, we really don't know all about this" said Mama Ningsih. He noticed Sinta. The old woman could feel the suffering that Sinta was going through. Sinta nodded.

Being at the house of her ex-husband, Sinta felt embarrassed and inferior. His status as Andre's former mistress, clearly shows a very different social strata from his former in-laws. Papa Rahmat took a deep breath. This complicated matter made him feel devastated. Hit because it was too late to know the whereabouts of Sinta and baby Airia.

Andre again sat down on the sofa he occupied earlier. Before sitting down, Andre glimpsed at Sinta, Sinta also looked at him. Sinta turned her face while Andre still stole a glance at Sinta.

"Andre, now how'd you decide?" ask papa Rahmat.

"I'll take responsibility pa" replied Andre quickly. His gaze led to Sinta. Sinta's face look normal when he heard Andre's words.

"What do you mean responsible" asked Papa Rahmat again.

"Airia is my daughter. Then I should also give it to him" replied Andre.

"If you only provide, we as grandparents can give more than that. Marry Sinta religiously and countryally" said papa Rahmat coldly. Sinta surprised. He did not expect that Papa Rahmat would say that.

"Sorry sir, mother and all. Let me speak for a while," said Sinta politely. Papa Rahmat and mama Ningsih nodded.

"Before me, apologize. The existence of me and my daughter, became a burden of mind for father and mother," said Sinta again. Sinta took a deep breath. Obviously this situation was very undesirable to him and made him uncomfortable.

"Sir Andre, I apologized earlier. In accordance with our agreement, until this moment I still have not opened my mouth about our serial marriage just yet. Andre himself admitted. So I didn't break the deal. And for baby Airia. You don't have to take responsibility. Because you've also agreed that I'm not holding you accountable. Your confession to my daughter is enough for me" Sinta said firmly. There was no sadness when he said that. And Sinta was relieved.

"What do you mean Sinta?" ask Bayu confused. He had not been able to digest what Sinta had said.

"Sorry, mother and all. There is no longer a marriage between me and Mr. Andre" Sinta said firmly. She no longer wanted to linger in the house of her ex-husband's parents. Andre raised his head to look at Sinta. He did not believe what Sinta said to him. Before the divorce Sinta even begged him. But with now, the young woman resolutely rejected her papa's request.

Mama Ningsih looked at Sinta heartily, first seeing Sinta in the hospital, her heart touched to see Sinta. His polite speech and his complicated life struggle made Mama Ningsih sympathize with Sinta. And today he knows that the suffering and the complex struggles of life, his own son, are the cause.

Agnes who had been silent, also did not expect Sinta's decision. Agnes looked at Sinta. So did the others.

"Think, baby Airia's future kid, she needs status and justice. Papa understands your heartache." Papa Rahmat said while observing Sinta's face. He hoped Sinta would change her decision.

"Pa, I'd like to talk to Sinta alone" said Andre. Papa Rahmat nodded. Andre stood up from his seat while Sinta was still sitting quietly. There was no intention of standing up.

"Love, come with me!. We can talk in the living room" Andre asked.

"She's my daughter Sinta, you can't deny her," Andre said slightly carried away with emotion. Andre sat back down.

"You forgot Mr. Andre, you rejected him and hoped that I would abort. Now you acknowledge her as your daughter?, Okay thanks for that. You need to remember, I have been grateful for that confession. And that's the only confession you need for Airia. At least he's got a biological father, that's all." Sinta said while holding tightness in her chest. The intention of Andre's family to ask him to marry again with Andre had no influence on him. Heartache dumped when pregnant young really closed his heart tightly to Andre.

"What letter of agreement do you mean?" ask Bayu confused. Andre rubbed his face in frustration. Sinta took her phone and opened it. Sinta then handed the phone to Bayu. Bayu surprised. Bayu saw on Sinta's phone a photo of the agreement letter. Bayu enlarged the photo. And his eyes were wide open reading the letter.

"You really are stupid Andre" Bayu said furiously. Andi reached out asking for Sinta's phone. Andi read the letter. Everyone was shocked to hear the agreement. They know, Sinta is the one who won a lot over the contents of the letter. And Andre has absolutely no right to a baby Airia.

"I agree with Sinta, Andre doesn't match Sinta. This stupid guy just fits and matches a woman named Cindy. Sinta, you don't worry!. Baby Airia is my niece. Whenever you need help, don't hesitate to ask Bella" Andi said. He was very disappointed with Andre. His clenched hands wanted to teach Andre a lesson. Seeing Mama Ningsih who had been silent, Andi knew that her mother was very sad and disappointed. Andi did not want to add to the sadness of mama Ningsih by beating Andre. His eyes looked at Andre sharply.

"And shut up!. Sinta, I beg you once more. Think about the future of Airia. How he got the birth certificate. If you don't remarry," said Papa Rahmat wistfully and expectantly. Not just a birth certificate in the mind of Papa Rahmat. She wants Airia to grow up with the affection of the parents who are together.

"Love, I'm sorry for all your suffering. I realized it was my doing. Please, marry me back. I'll marry you religiously and countryily" Andre said as he looked at Sinta. Sinta shook her head.

"You mean, you're going to be polygamous?. While telling the whereabouts of Sinta and baby Airia to Cindy you can't afford. So what other marriage do you offer Sinta, help her materially?, my sister Bayu and I will do that. So you remember your agreement with Sinta" Andi said angrily. His hand pointed at Andre's face as he spoke. Andre's speechless.

Sinta smiled wryly. He confirmed Andi's words in his heart. It was not wrong of her decision to reject the request of Papa Rahmat.

The others were still silent, realizing Sinta's position was suffering a lot because of Andre. Making them confused to support the request of papa Rahmat and Andre. Deep down, they want Sinta back to Andre. But seeing Andre's unequivocal nature made them hesitate to ask Sinta to accept Andre back.

"I will tell Cindy about all this, agree or disagree I will marry Sinta even without her permission" said Andre. Really, she doesn't want to lose baby Airia. For Andre, he can miss the moment of baby Airia time in the womb. But to grow up baby Airia, Andre promises in his heart to be by his daughter's side.

"That's your wish, Mr. Andre, not mine. You forget?, back when I asked you to open your heart to me, you were rude to me. The second time I asked you, you said that there would be other men who would accept me sincerely and accept me as I am. The third time I asked you, even when I was pregnant young, you said a lot of hearts that you keep. You must take care of your wife and family. Even then without a second thought you divorced me. Have you ever thought?, how do I go through pregnancy alone with a widow status?. With a distended stomach, I had to ride a motorcycle to work at Bella's cafe and have to go to college. That hardship, I went through by myself and the help of my friends and mother Bella. But for the heartache you give, no one can treat it. And you also say that you will not regret. I reminded you earlier Mr. Andre,"

Sinta was silent for a moment. The shadow of the difficult time after the divorce flashed through his mind. Sinta felt her chest tight. The tears are back. Andre's attitude that easily asked him back made him feel worthless. Agnes, who heard Sinta's words, wept. He approached Sinta and hugged her. Even though Agnes had proven Airia was Andre's daughter, she still felt regret in her heart. Regretful for being late to know the whereabouts of Sinta. Not only Agnes, Mama Ningsih and Bella also felt sad to hear Sinta's words.

Andre's speechless. His treatment in the past also crossed his mind. The regret now exists. But as Sinta said, the regret will not mean what for Sinta.

"After Andre, Sinta will no longer be with you. Go home. Pamper your beloved wife. I will support Sinta marrying you if you divorce Cindy. That bastard woman," Andi said angrily. Andre looked at Andi.

"What do you mean sister, call Cindy a jerk?" ask Agnes curiously. Twice Andi has called Cindy a dick makes Agnes curious.

"Let Andre prove himself how much of a jerk Cindy is" Andi replied coldly. Papa Rahmat and mama Ningsih were also curious. Bella is ordinary.

"Do you know anything about Cindy son?" ask papa Rahmat.

"Ask him himself, his apartment was sold but the money was not seen, He had blinded Cindy" Andi replied, pointing to Andre.

"It's so Andre?" ask Papa Rahmat with a high voice. Papa Rahmat knows very well Andre is so proud to have an apartment from his own sweat. And did not expect, Andre sold the apartment. Andre asserted the question of Papa Rahmat just by nodding.

"Papa doesn't believe you anymore Andre, just because your wife you sold that apartment. And papa also asked you to leave the university. You can find other universities to teach," said papa Rahmat disappointed. Andre looked up at his father.

"Don't pa, I beg you." Andre felt powerless hearing the orders of Father Grace.

"Don't make that decision pa, how Andre would support Cindy and Alexa if she had to leave university. Finding work now is difficult, he can sell a house given by his father," Bayu said. Actually Bayu felt sorry for Andre. Andre's now messy appearance makes him pity. Andre has always known a good young man.

"Love, we still hope you will marry Andre again" Bayu said. Sinta shook her head quickly.
