Betrayal is the most painful thing in a relationship. Although the heart tries to forget and forgive, but the memory will continue to return to the same place. The place where he was injured.
"I really didn't expect it." Daffin tugged at his hair to vent his frustration.
I held Daffin's hand. "Stop, Daffin! What the hell are you doing? Hurting yourself won't get your problems over quickly."
Daffin's blue eyes were staring at me. "Then, how do I make up for all the pain in your heart, Mrs Stevano?"
Here's my chance! I need to know everything I've wanted to know all along. I'm not sure I'll have another chance like this in the future.
"Tell me everything! Tell me everything you've been hiding from me! Tell me what made you marry me! And tell me, when did I start to be in your heart?" sue me, hoping that Daffin will uncover everything right now.
Right now, me and Daffin are in Rei's room. At first I just wanted to make Daffin feel calm because he was always angry every time he saw Shaka, but this golden opportunity came and I would not miss it either.
"Mrs Stevano ..," called Daffin down, she grabbed my hand and kissed him. "Before I say anything, will you promise to stay with me?" tanyakanya.
It seemed like Daffin needed reassurance before revealing the truth, but it made me believe that what he was about to say would hurt me greatly.
"I will only promise if I will listen to your explanation until the end. And what I'll decide later, I can't promise you." A faint smile covered my lips.
It seems that what I said was a little disappointing for Daffin. However, he still smiled and nodded his head.
"No problem, Mrs Stevano. I shouldn't have demanded too much of you" said Daffin.
Although my heart still hesitates, I try to accept everything Daffin says. I have high hopes for my relationship with him.
"I know you've suffered a lot since Erlangga's departure. But really, I don't intend to add any pain to your life. Our marriage was the biggest mistake of my life. It was the most selfish decision I've ever made." The corner of Daffin's eyes was already glazed over. "I think I can fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and I can protect you at the same time. But what happened was outside of me. As time went on, I began to be captivated by you. And without me realizing it, my feelings created new problems for you. Me, you, and Reena, the three of us are standing on the brink. I had to choose one of you, and I chose you not because you were pregnant with my son, but because I love you. You're the only woman I love, be it Ayasya or Lily. You can believe it or not, but my heart's been stuck with you since the first time we met." she explained.
My God, my heart trembled at Daffin's confession. I wanted to hold her tight, but there were still a lot of things she hadn't told me.
"I want to say that you're lying, but I promise I'll listen to you until the end. Alright, continue!" lontarku, make a plain face.
Daffin chuckles, at least can melt the atmosphere. "There's a lot I can't say, but I'm sure you feel it if I've been trying to fulfill all your wishes. Except, to get away from me."
I nodded to approve Daffin's remark.
"I made a lot of effort to keep Reena out of our lives. You know, I divorced her before I married you." Daffin stroked my hair lovingly.
My mouth gaped at Daffin's explanation. I did know that Daffin divorced Reena, but I didn't expect my guess about the divorce to happen before this marriage.
"Nobody knows if you're Lily, but I don't know why my heart always wants to be with you. When I married you in the hospital, honestly half of my heart felt it was a sin. But the other half of my heart is so happy to find yourself as mine. Forgive me for just keeping you by my side, I even hurt you with my words and my rude attitude. All I've done is to keep you by my side, Mrs Stevano." Daffin immediately grabbed my body to make me feel tight.
I pushed Daffin's body with all my might. "Daffin! I can't breathe."
Daffin's big hand cupped both of my cheeks. "You need oxygen?"
"No!" I turned my face the other way. "Don't switch the conversation! Resume your defense or I'll close this hearing right now!" my threat.
Daffin immediately kissed my forehead at a glance and put his hands together. "No, Honorable Judge. Please listen to me first!"
Holy jeez!!! I couldn't help but laugh at the face of the daffin that was made up like that.
"Alright, Accused. I'm listening to you." My hands cupped both big hands of Daffin.
"Thank you, Mrs Stevano" said Daffin. "I didn't expect that Reena would be reckless and hurt you, which is why I decided to return her to the Kafel family, but it turns out she's a cunning woman. He threatened me with Maya. That's why I disappeared for a month and I can't keep my promise to you. I beg one more apology from you, Mrs Stevano!"
My eyeballs were spinning, trying to figure out the memory of what Daffin had just revealed. Ah, I remember! He must have been talking about it when I was waiting for him on the rooftop all night.
"Just calm down, Mr. Stevano! I have a lot of apologies for you." I cried, after the brightest smile possible.
"I didn't choose you wrong, but you know, I was afraid that you'd turn out to be like Reena when you wanted to take back your rights from her. I feel like you're not who you are, Mrs Stevano, that's why I'm asking you to come back." Daffin's big hand pulled my body back into his arms.
My head looked up and saw Daffin's worried face. "What are you afraid of? I'm Maya Kafeel's daughter, the most gentle woman in the world. How could I be as evil as that female octopus!"
Daffin's sensual lips landed on my lips, his hands holding my nape so as not to rebel. Long enough we let go of each other's pent-up desires for a month. Ah, my face turned red because of the burning embers between us.
"You're trying to distract me, Daffin!" my sergeant, trying to cover up the embarrassment that suddenly took hold of me.
"That's it!" hardikku upset. "Continue defending!" my word.
"Well, my lady, what else do you want to know?" asked Daffin, his face was cheerful.
Suddenly I remembered something. "Daffin, what are you hiding from me about Reena?"
Daffin's forehead shriveled and both of his eyebrows swooped sharply. "Nothing!"
"really?" my question, it takes certainty.
"Sure! I've said everything." Daffin tried to kiss me again, but I refused. "Why, Mrs Stevano?"
"I still want to know one thing! When Reena came to our house that day, you asked me to go back to the room while you went with Shaka to your study. You didn't even let me in! And yes, at that time you also ordered Rania to hold me back from meeting Reena. I wonder, what's your reason?" manya suspect.
Daffin breathed deeply. "That's because I didn't want her to know about your pregnancy. I don't want him to go after our son, as daddy said. And about me not wanting to see you, that's not true! I just didn't know that you were the one who came to my study, Mrs Stevano, back then I was so angry at Shaka for revealing about his feelings for me."
"just that? I guess you still need to explain why you didn't report Reena for assaulting you?" sinisku asked.
"That's because of Shaka!" sahut Daffin, his jaw tightened.
I rolled my eyeballs lazily. "Shaka again what are you blaming?"
"Because he's guilty! He was involved in the attack." - furious Daffin. "He and Reena planned it all. If I report Reena, then Shaka will also be found guilty. Moreover, the money they used came from my account. I don't know how they did it, but I definitely feel betrayed." she lamented.
"Maybe Shaka has no other choice, Daffin," I said hesitantly.
"Or maybe too, he purposely did this to keep you away from me. I understand Reena did that because she was mad at me, but Shaka? He's the one who hurt me for putting my heart on you." Daffin's hands were clenched.
I tried to calm Daffin down by holding his hand. "It could be that Reena forced Shaka. We have to wait for Shaka to wake up to find the answer."
"Shaka's a smart man, Mrs Stevano! He won't be easily threatened, let alone just by a woman like Reena." argued Daffin.
Also true! And now I also began to doubt Shaka's loyalty to his master.
"Maybe it's my fault too! I shouldn't have given Reena any space. He and Shaka might think that I'm weak" heed Daffin, forcing me to look at him.
"What do you mean?" many confused.
"I'm sorry, Mrs Stevano, I have given my old home and one of the subsidiaries to Reena as a fulfillment of my responsibilities to her. I was thinking, if he falls into poverty for losing all his assets, he'll come after you even more. But his heart was indeed evil, he did not understand my good intentions to him." Daffin's gaze was filled with regret.
I exhaled my breath rough. "I've had a lot of trouble making her feel what I feel, but you're feeling sorry for her."
"I'm sorry, Mrs Stevano" said Daffin.
"How much more sorry do you want from me?" sindirku, getting annoyed with all the explanations Daffin.
Daffin raised his gaze and looked at me. "Nothing! And I hope there won't be any more."
I closed my eyes for a moment and imagined my mother's face and my conversation with my mother at the dinner table yesterday.
"Daffin ..," call me and open my eyes.
"Hemm ..." said Daffin.
Our gazes met and bonded with each other.
"Come, we're getting divorced!"
