"I don't think if you really marry another man maybe Fabian will fall as a fall" Johan said.

"But don't be discouraged Re. Fabian has been through a lot of hard things in his life. I'm sure he'll be strong,"

Renata was speechless unable to say anything.

***

Renata returned with a hollow feeling her heart felt empty. Of all the requirements that Fabian proposed, Renata could still feel Fabian was still trying to protect him.

"Is that how much you love me, Bi ?" Lirih Renata held back her cries.

But what Fabian has done is unjustified.

"If we are still a match, we will definitely unite again" said Renata while wiping tears with the back of his hand.

2 Weeks later her divorce trial will begin. So that there is no obstacle whatsoever Renata accepts the requirements that Fabian proposed.

Now Renata is just trying to be strong and tough to deal with it.

What about Fabian ? Fabian tried to accept it all with a chest. Because what he did was unforgivable.

Fabian never showed up his nose again after he agreed to release Renata. Because Fabian believes that if he meets Renata, he will again beg and pray that he will not part when he has promised that Renata's happiness is above all else. But even so Fabian still contacted Renata via mobile only to ask Celia news.

It never took a day for Fabian to contact his son.

That afternoon Renata was accompanying Celia coloring the picture in the tv room with various kinds of snacks that Renata had made. He observed his son was clingy.

"Darling, did you know that Mommy loves you so much ?" Renata asked Celia who was cool coloring a picture of a cat.

"Yes, sure Mom. Celia too dear Mommy," replied Celia with her sullen eyes.

"Mommy has done something wrong and hurt you. Will you forgive Mommy?"

"Mmm what's wrong Mommy has made ?"

"Mmm Mommy can't explain everything because it's an adult affair, but someday mommy hopes Celia can understand. One of mommy's mistakes is not being able to stay with Daddy anymore,"

Celia was silent there was a streak of sadness that appeared in her innocent face.

"What about not staying with Daddy, Mommy won't cry anymore ?" Celia asked with her round eyes.

"I hope so, Princess," Renata replied with a smile that she forced.

"As long as you are happy, then I'll be happy too mom," (as long as you are happy then I will be happy too mom) replied Celia.

Renata grabbed Celia in her arms and held her tightly. "Thank you for understanding" whispered Renata in Celia's ear.

"What is the adult's business so sad Mom ?" Ask plain Celia.

" Mommy hope you won't experience this baby. Mommy will always pray for Celia to be happy,"

"And I hope, you'll be happy too Mom" Celia said with a kiss on Renata's cheek.

Shortly the doorbell rang. Bi Sumi opened the door immediately.

Her mother-in-law appeared with various bags that she carried.

"Look baby, oma bring what ?" Fabian's mom told Celia.

Celia is so enthusiastic about various kinds of cakes and also toys that her omanya carry that make her jump happy.

"Try Celia look and prepare on the plate with mum Wulan and aunt Sumi in the kitchen. Oma wants to talk to Mommy first,"

"Okay Oma," Celia replied with a feeling of pleasure.

Mami Fabian grabbed Renata in her arms as Celia and the others left the room.

The middle-aged woman sobbed in the arms of her son-in-law.

"I'm sorry Fabian has hurt women as well as you do" Fabian said sobbing.

"Mmm mam, let's sit down first" replied Renata trying to calm down.

"I'm sorry mom, I should have come to see Mami not the other way around but Fabian forbid,"

"It's okay, even mommy who apologizes to you Re. Mami feels like she failed to educate a child so she could hurt a woman as well as you and ruin her own marriage. Forgive Fabian for causing you a lot of heartache" her mother-in-law said, holding back tears.

" Mommy didn't fail to educate Fabian, she's a good-natured person. It's just that God's destiny says something else for our marriage,"

Mami Fabian was silent for a moment and calmed herself down.

"There will always be a child of Re's mother, there will be no ex-daughter-in-law for Mami because you are so good. As a wife, as a mother... Honestly, mommy is hard to accept your farewell but mommy won't break her promise. If you are already unable to then Mami with a heavy heart will let you go. Thank you for accompanying Fabian in his worst state,"

"I'm sorry, Mom. If all this time I had a lot of shortcomings and could not maintain this household. To me, my mother will also remain my mother" Renata replied sobbing.

They embrace each other again as if releasing the burden of a heart so heavy.

***

Renata decides to return to Semarang and talks about her separation with Fabian to her parents.

Celia was with him. They were delivered by Mr. Wito to the airport. Fabian completely avoided Renata. A slight sense of loss Renata felt in the corner of her heart. But this is the best way for them. " Time will heal, over time will be fine," Renata inwardly strengthened herself.

Both Renata's parents have been waiting for their arrival at Jend Achmad Yani airport in Semarang. 

Celia ran into the arms of her grandparents. Seen sad strokes on the faces of both Renata's parents even though they tried to cover it up.

Renata knew and understood the reason behind the grief of her parents. Certainly because of the separation that must be experienced by his son, and only this time Renata came to Semarang only alone with Celia because previously Fabian always accompanied them. Never has Fabian let Renata and Celia go far without him.

Back memories of Fabian flashed in Renata's mind. "It seems that forgetting you will be a very difficult thing Bi, but if you remember the big lie that you practiced with me... I can no longer be near you, either" said Renata, closing her eyes, holding back tears,"

"Come on, the driver's been waiting too long" the father's invitation made Renata come to his senses.

***

It took about 1 hour to get to Renata's parents' house.

Renata enters the room he used to occupy when he was a girl. He bowed himself to the edge of the bed and began to fix the items he was carrying.

Celia still misses along with her grandparents.

It had been almost 1 hour Renata kept silent in her room before deciding to go down to join Celia and her parents.

"Eat first, son, you must be hungry." Said Renata's mother.

"So Mom, I'm not hungry yet,"

"It's not good to delay eating when you get sick, pity Celia," now Renata's father said.

"Yes in a moment" replied Renata. He really did not want to put any food into his stomach.

"Dad, Mom, I... I want to say something" Renata said with a thumping chest.

Seeing Renata who was about to speak seriously, Renata's father asked their housekeeper to take Celia to the garden behind the house so that they could speak freely.

Renata's father let out a heavy sigh before starting to speak.

"Actually I've found out what happened to you son. Your husband has been here 2 times since he recovered from the accident,"

"Huh 2 times ? Not just one time when with his brother Sakti ?" Ask Renata.

"2 times Nak, the first with her sister Sakti. At that time, your husband apologized for what happened. He explained all his problems and also brought evidence. His lawyer who wanted to come along, but because there was a need suddenly replaced by Sakti as a reinforcement. Honestly, I was very surprised, but Fabian explained everything until he rested on my father and mother to beg for forgiveness. At that time, although my father was very disappointed in him but saw the earnestness he showed made my father choose to forgive him,"

Renata began to shed her tears.

"Then the second time, your husband came 3 days ago. It's only been a while maybe only about an hour that he came to this house. Apologizing again for not being able to defend your household. Your husband said that he asked you well then he would return you well. It's just that he didn't dare to bring you here" Renata's father continued.

"Father cannot forbid and restrain you from this separation. Because that feels you two. Although as parents we feel sad but it will be sadder if the father's child suffers,"

Renata cries in her father's arms and her mother gives a gentle swipe at Renata's back to strengthen.
