After My Husband Cheated, I Became Rich
43. Responsibilities
"What do you mean you call me your husband, Ratna?" radit asked as soon as they sat in a cafe not far from the hospital.
"Sorry I was presumptuous." replied Ratna lowering her head, this time she did not dare to look at Radit as she usually did.
"I'm sorry." said Ratna again.
"Forget it, now explain why I don't need to retest?" ask Radit to know.
"But how do you know I'm here?" ask Radit again.
"Therefore I apologize, for all that has happened." Ratna's words increasingly make Radit not understand.
"You remember a woman at the club who mourned her fate for not being able to give birth to her husband?" ratna asked Radit.
Radit stared in disbelief at Ratna, the event happened four years ago, how Ratna knew about her past, exactly the night he was accompanying a first-time woman to the club and the woman looked a little drunk.
Radit challenged the friends who came with him to the club to approach the woman. Radit accepts the challenge and he manages to get close to the woman.
The woman told her household story, about her husband who often played outside because he could not provide satisfaction and also offspring. Their closeness that night ended in a hotel room, and went through a hot night.
Ratna raised her head and smiled, she ventured to return Radit's gaze.
"You.." said Radit who could not continue his words, he only realized that the woman he had been with at the club and made love to him that night was Ratna.
Radit rubbed his face violently, "Don't tell me your daughter is my daughter" Radit said.
"But that's the truth. One month after we did it I was declared pregnant." replied Ratna.
"It could have been Boy's son." said Radit who tried to deny.
They only had a good time one night, they also did not know each other back then. How could she have a child from a relationship that was only one night? Radit rubbed his face again violently, as he recalled that night he had not used any security.
Ratna shook her head, "The real Boy can't have any offspring" she told Radit, who exhaled violently.
"I don't demand recognition from you to admit Dini is your daughter Radit, let people still know her as Boy's daughter. I just want you to know that you don't actually have a problem with your fertility." Ratna said.
"This is your actual test result" Ratna said, giving Radit fertility test results.
"I'm sorry I changed the result, because at that time Boy suspected me and I didn't want Boy to know if my daughter wasn't his son." replied Ratna again.
Radit was silent after reading the actual test results that Ratna had hidden. He doesn't know what to behave like?
Massaging his forehead Radit tried to find the best way. His actions in the past that were happy to sow seeds became a problem today. There will be other children who will seek him out and hold him accountable as their biological father.
"Radrite."
Radit was shocked to hear a voice calling his name.
"Paula." said Radit.
"It's nice to see you again" Paula said with her eyes scanning for Ratna.
"He's your wife?" paula asked pointing at Ratna.
"Yes, meet her the mother of my children" replied Radit.
"Kids" Paula's parrot.
"I'm sorry we're going home" Radit said.
"Let's love." take Radit to Ratna who just silently does not understand.
Radit stood up to Ratna, then grabbed Ratna's hand to ask her to stand up.
"Wait." hold Paula while Ratna's about to stand.
"I want to talk to you guys" Paula said.
"A little while" said Paula when Radit was about to speak, she knew her ex-lover would refuse.
Just like his agreement with Bagas when he was going to divorce, Paula also promised Radit when he would separate. If later they meet again, then do not try to ask the taste that ever existed. Assume they have never known and had a story together before.
Paula was desperate when she could not contact Bagas, she already knew it would be difficult to shake her ex-husband's heart. Helen, who forced him to attend Bagas' wedding, asked for his help to make Alea jealous and quarrel with Bagas. But the truth is that she is jealous of Alea, and suddenly comes to hope of being back with her ex-husband.
"I just want you to know one truth" Paula said.
"The truth about what?" radit asked pretending not to understand.
"When we parted, I was pregnant" Paula told Radit.
"I don't mean to ruin your household, but I just want you to know that I've given birth to a son and his father is Radit."
Radit and Ratna were both silent with their thoughts. So did Paula, she kept quiet after talking waiting for Radit's reaction. I hope that her ex-boyfriend feels guilty for her.
"Where is the boy" asked Radit who wanted to test Paula's honesty.
"That's what I regret until now" Paula replied.
"He's not with me and I'm trying to find him. I'm telling you to ask for your help looking for him." Paula continued, telling Radit.
"That's a long time ago, why are you looking and telling us" Radit said.
Paula was silent, she could not answer if she had already ignored her son for the sake of her career. If he wanted Radit to take responsibility, he should have told Radit the truth.
"You threw the baby away" Radit said. "What are you looking for now?" radit continued with a question.
"Because the career I've had can't make me happy. The crying of the baby lately often disturbs my sleep." replied Paula.
Radit smiled mockingly. This ex-lover does have a high ego, much different from Alea. Radit took a deep breath, until this moment he always compared everything with Alea. The figure of the perfect wife that he wasted.
"That's your punishment for wasting an innocent child. There's a lot of women out there who want kids but it's hard, and you..." Radit stopped his words.
Ratna patted the back of Radit's hand not to continue. No mother wants to part with the child she is born with, but they are faced with a choice.
"I know I'm wrong, because it helps me to look for her." Pinta Paula.
"I've been happy with my little family, so let us live our lives" Radit replied.
"Let's go, baby." Radit asked Ratna to stand up.
"He's your son Radit." cried Paula to make the visitors in the cafe look at them.
"I didn't ignore it, but you. So don't involve me." replied Radit again.
"You, you're a mother." show Paula to Ratna. "Isn't there a little bit of your feelings as a fellow mother?" paula asked Ratna.
"She's a good mother, who doesn't waste the child she's born with."
"Because you're with him Radit." cried Paula again.
"But I..."
"Who made me walk away from your life?"
Radit's question kept Paula quiet. Radit is right, why he is now taking Radit's responsibility when he is the one who left him for his career.
"You're cruel Radit" Ratna said as soon as they got away from Paula.
"He who was cruel abandoned Zio in the orphanage."
"So that Zio...."
"He's my son that Paula's looking for" Radit replied, cutting off Ratna's words.
"Why didn't you tell Paula, Radit?"
"Because I don't want him to take Zio away from me." replied Radit.
"I also have to take responsibility for Dini." continued Radit after a moment of silence.
