BEAUTIFUL REUNION IN TWO

94. Become Part of the Past

It is not easy being a single parent. Nadia is alone with baby Glor at Tristan's house.

In addition to wanting more leverage following the growth and development of baby Glor, the frugality factor is one reason not to hire the services of a baby sitter. Especially in Jakarta, the services of a baby sitter can spend half of his salary.

Sometimes while she was eating, suddenly baby Glor cried nonstop. Until he had to stop eating, to make sure the baby's diaper is clean.

If baby Glor's diaper contains baby pup, then he will clean baby Glor first, change diapers and clothes, then he continues his delayed feeding.

Not infrequently he brings baby Glor to the bathroom if you want to shower or do other activities in the bathroom. Because if you don't see her, baby Glor will cry.

Not to mention if the midnight baby Glor is fussy, then all night he must hold baby Glor while singing songs.

All he did himself.

But seeing the growth and development of baby Glor is an extraordinary gift for him.

At the age of two months, baby Glor can respond with a smile when invited to talk. His little angel was also able to suck his fingers to calm down.

He started playing with his little angel using brightly colored objects and toys that could beep to stimulate.

Her most cherished moment was when her tiny and cute baby clasped her fingers tightly, looked into her eyes and smiled at her.

He could make her forget how tired the world was. Because the love that does not arrive, and the mahligai that try to be maintained finally cracked, soon broken into pieces.

But there are things that burden and always make her cry in the heart. Because his little angel grew up without a father.

What should he say later, if Glor had grown up and asked his father? Would he have told Glor that his father had died?

How would he answer if Glor would ask what his father's name was?

Answering Tristan Atmaja, of course it cannot be. His son is not the flesh of Tristan.

Will he answer ... A bimasena?

Nor is it possible.

Because the man never came back. Ever since Glor was born, Bimasena has disappeared from the earth. Bimasena is no longer active on social media.

He had not expected the man to come. But he finally realized that his son needed a clear identity.

Now he was disappointed, disappointed in the man. Who used to seem so enthusiastic about having a son from him. But until two months of age, there was no sign of the arrival of the man.

It is impossible that Bimasena did not know that she had given birth. Because while still together in the apartment, Bimasena knew the estimated month of childbirth.

Now he realized that when,

Mistakes made by parents affect their children.

It is sad that a child can bear the sins of his parents.

He did not need alimony for his son from Bimasena. He only needs a confession, if his son has a father. For the sake of clarity of the origin of his son.

It turns out that orphans have more clear identity than children born from the results of infidelity as he experienced.

There will come a time when Glor understands the shame of having an obscure father. Of course it will affect the mental and confident of his son.

The mistake made at that time was that he should have separated from Tristan and married the father of his son. For her son's sake, it wasn't for Imelda's mother that made her leave the man.

He only thinks for a moment when making decisions, not thinking about the long-term impact, as well as the impact on his son.

But everything has happened and cannot be repeated.

Although his son needed a confession from a father, he still thought twice about contacting Bimasena.

Perhaps the man had been happy, and did not want to look back anymore. Think of it as the past and the wind.

What he was more worried about when he contacted Bimasena, then the man was not willing to admit his son. Then the truth will hurt more.

So let.

Let him live alone with Glor with all his limitations.

One more thing that makes him nervous. Tristan has left for a month, the man has not filed for divorce, citing busy reasons. Until now her status as a widow is still gray.

What he feels today is the fruit of mistakes, and improper decision-making after mistakes he made.

He did not regret the mistake he made with Bimasena. It was because of this mistake that he had Glor, a long-cherished baby.

Having knit love with a man named Bimasena is also the most beautiful story in his life.

What he regretted was his decision to leave Bimasena. Then back to Tristan. In the end, he also had to part with Tristan.

Now he has to take the risk. Not only her, even the innocent baby Glor had to bear her guilt.

He just hopes, quite himself a woman who made a mistake, while taking the wrong step. Enough of her being a woman who bears this kind of burden.

While awaiting Hakimah's operation, he came to know a woman named Triyasih. Hakimah's real brother. The woman was four years older than her age, but still single.

A lecturer in statistics at one of the public universities in Jakarta. Smarter and more mature than the Judge.

After several times they met, and many times established communication by phone, he felt he had a vision and mission in life that was in line with Triyasih. One of the things to consider in establishing a realtionship.

Triyasih could understand his condition. He also supported her in filing for divorce with Nadia.

"The "divorce case in our country is increasing every year. Based on the results of the study, there are three most causes of divorce today, namely infidelity, greater wife income, and husbands who do not work."

As a statistician, it turns out Triyasih has a lot of data. Adult divorce rate data included.

"I can understand how you feel about facing a partner coming out of the marriage corridor, having a relationship with another man. Even more so until getting pregnant and giving birth to a child of the man, which is very contrary to the rules of religion."

"Although the tendency of infidelity is greater if the communication of the couple does not work well."

"If I were you, I would do the same. Because what your wife did, showed her disrespect to you. Even if I become a judge. I won't let myself be lied to by a partner."

No commitment has been made between them. Because they just knew each other. But now he feels his heart is more inclined to Triyasih than Hakimah.

Moreover, Hakimah has not shown a welcome response to him. Hakimah also still has to face domestic problems with Agustiawan and through trauma due to divorce.

He is a man, no need to drag on in grief and heartbreak because of his household with Nadia who ran aground. It is not necessary to linger in turmoil.

He or she must be able to separate emotions and logic, putting the relationship that has ended as part of the past. 

Now he already has a target, who is the woman he will choose to accompany him in every struggle of life. I wish that woman had the same feelings as him. Willing to continue good relationships that have been built, to a more serious level.

Tristan has filed for divorce with him. The first court call he received. File completeness hearing. But he agreed with Tristan not to attend the hearing. They entrust to the lawyer.

Titiana's mother had already helped her with a lawyer to accompany her. So that he does not need to bother taking care of the divorce, can focus on taking care of baby Glor.

He just attended the hearing during the mediation hearing. She is accompanied by Lily and her lawyer, Melanie's mother. While baby Glor he tipped on Mpok Nana, complete with stock breast milk.

The judge's question during mediation made the jidat slightly wrinkled.

"Are you sure of your decision now?" ask the judge to Tristan.

"Yes, I'm sure Mr. Judge" Tristan replied steadily.

"Aren't you intending to refer to it?"

"Not at all Your Majesty" Tristan said. There was no doubt heard in Tristan's tone of voice. It seems Tristan can't wait to get a divorce with her soon.

"To the defendant, do you agree with the plaintiff's decision?" the turn was questioned by the judge.

He nodded weakly, "Again to the Judge."

"What's the reason why you agree with the plaintiff?"

Now he is confused as to what to answer. Does he have to tell the truth and expose his disgrace?

But that's where lawyers are for. When she was cornered, then Melanie's mother acted. He can also breathe a sigh of relief at the role of his lawyer.

And the mediation trial ended up failing to make reference to Tristan as a plaintiff and he as a defendant. Until the divorce can be done.

But something surprised him. Because when he met Tristan in court, in addition to being accompanied by a male lawyer, an adult woman he did not know also accompanied Tristan.

The woman was not so beautiful, simple, yet appeared to be learned and confident.

"Getty." That was the woman's name when she introduced herself to him. Staring at him confidently, made him become clumsy and feel dwarfed.

From the eye gaze and body language between Tristan and Triyasih, it shows that Tristan and the woman have psychological closeness.

Is he jealous?

No, he's not jealous at all. Different when he saw a photo of Bimasena with Miss Venezuela that made him heartbroken.

He is happy that Tristan has a replacement for him. But hasn't it been a month that he and Tristan separated?

Countless days Tristan already had a replacement for him.

Why doesn't Tristan keep his feelings? Did Tristan show him off when he wasn't alone anymore?

Maybe that's how a man is. Move on faster than women. And he has to accept that. As a consequence of his past mistakes.

Two men who once confessed their love and affection for her, in just a matter of days already had a surrogate woman herself. There is no eternal love in the world, except the love of a father and mother for her child. The affection can also be lost by time.
