CHEATING IS BEAUTIFUL IN THE BEGINNING

Chapter 11

I've lived two years without Dion. The father who initially opposed our divorce, could no longer hold me back when I insisted on giving up and ending it all.

Diana was already a teenager, so she could determine with whom she would stay. I didn't mind when she decided to stay with my mom. I think with mom she can grow up to be a nice, jolly girl. His own grandfather, promised to give part of the company shares to Diana, after Diana grew up.

Ever since the divorce, I've never seen Dion. Even though Diana used to invite me to meet her. For me, after the divorce, there is no relationship even though friendship.

But on Diana's birthday this time, I couldn't refuse her request. I had to go to Dion's house to celebrate my daughter's birthday.

Entering a house that holds a lot of bad memories, makes me almost fall. I suddenly felt dizzy and I should not have attended Dion's event even though it was my son's special day.

I want to see how Dion reacted when he saw me coming with someone he knew so well.

***

Just coming, Dion was already looking at me in wonder. Her eyes were on my stomach which was starting to look big.

"You pregnant?" Ask as he approaches.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Who's pregnant?"

"My new husband."

"Don't joke Elisha, Diana never told me you were married again."

"I told him to, because I don't want you to ruin my new happy life."

Dion tried to touch my stomach, but I was able to avoid it. He showed a face of disbelief. I know there's a lot he wants to ask. But all will be answered after my husband returns from the toilet.

"Elisa, are we serious? who is the father of this child?"

I didn't answer right away, because he had no right to take care of my life anymore. Even though I am the mother of her child, she is already someone else to me.

"Elisa, don't you want to come back to me at all?"

I nodded slowly. I hope Dion can feel that there is no more love between us. Even if I didn't want to go back, he hurt me enough, during our marriage, the happiness he gave could be counted fingers. He trusted his stepmother more than I used to as his wife.

Dion could still use other means to test my love and loyalty. He never thought that the pain of betrayal would never be treated with just the word 'sorry'. Surviving for the sake of the child I've done, to the extent that Dion never appreciates.

"Elisa, I love you so much!"

Dion didn't know himself by trying to hug me.

"Brach!!!" Dion stopped when he heard someone standing behind him.

Dion was aghast when he found out, that person was Rendi. The old Rendi disappeared from his life.

Right, I chose to marry Rendi. Somehow, I love him so much now. I don't care about other people's views. I didn't even pay attention when I was accused of cheating.

I am six months pregnant now. Rendi was very different from Dion. From the way he treated me to the way he made me feel valuable.

From the outside, Rendi looks cold, after we lived together, I am very grateful for everything I expected from Dion, all owned by Rendi. Attention, understanding and most importantly, faithfulness.

"Omong empty. I know you guys are having a show. Stop this silliness!"

"Do we have to show that we are a couple?" Ask Rendi who then passed Dion then embrace me tightly, while peeping.

Dion looked furious, and it was terrible for me. If he still loves me, he will feel what I felt.

"Can't be. I can't believe it!" Full of confidence, Dion pulled me rough from Rendi's embrace.

Obviously Rendi didn't accept it, now Dion has no right to me.

"Dion!" The sound of Rendi stomping.

"Elisa, tell me this isn't true!" Dion is selfish.

"Don't you, the child you bear was my son. Before the divorce, we did it, didn't we?" An inappropriate statement.

"Dion, watch your talk! Now, Elisha is mine." Rendi took me back.

The thing that many women crave, contested by two handsome men. But to me this is disgusting. Where Dion is, it's so embarrassing.

I hugged Rendi tightly, worried about our baby's condition, I invited her to go home. Diana understood, she let me go from her father's house.

***

In a few days I will face labor. Although not the first, but I am still overwhelmed with anxiety. To expel all the turmoil, with details I prepared our needs. That baby when we last ultrasound, was male.

Impatient, anxious and happy hopes, that is the image of our hearts. I was able to capture Rendi's sincerity, as she was busy preparing for our first child's welcome.

Early marriage, Rendi has revealed all about her feelings. So before Dion found me, Rendi was already into me. At first he wanted to approach me, because of his great shame, he chose to harbor feelings. Unfortunately, Dion learned of this in the first year of my marriage to Dion.

If Dion loves me so much, when he knows someone wants me, he should try to keep me. Not just to keep hurting.

Finding Rendi who was frank about everything, I knew that love was actually her who always took care of me.

All this time I was unconscious, Rendi always ensured my safety and happiness. Rendi thought I would never be able to turn away from Dion, so she just kept watching what was going on with my household.

***

Me and Rendi have promised to trust each other, and will never hide anything from each other. Rendi promised never to hurt me. Whatever problems we face, Rendi will always be by my side.

Like today, at the time I got a chat from Dion. Rendi shook her head, only able to smile while holding back emotions.

I really don't think what Dion wants. Back when I was struggling to maintain our household, she was always indifferent.

It was my turn to give up, he kept bothering me.

At night, ten o'clock, there was a message notification coming to my number. Unknown number because it has not been saved. Rendi and I both opened the message, there was no secret between us, so we used to peek at each other's incoming messages.

When we opened and read it, together we were upset. The name of the sender of the message was Dion.

[Elisa, please, allow me to do a DNA test, on the child you bear, after he is born]

Maddened. Dion's gone mad!

Last time we had sex, it's been a long time, and I've come months. I was pregnant with her child.

Rendi's face turned sour. He put HP on the bed. Then he prepared to leave.

"Honey, where are you going?"

"Meeting Dion!" Real angry.

"You said it yourself, don't think of him. We can think of him as crazy, so let it go."

"If it's not resolved tonight, Dion will continue to bother us."

"But baby, it's late, tomorrow can't it?"

"Lisa baby, I have to make a calculation. So that Dion realizes, that he's been very disturbing!"

I hugged Rendi from behind, very tightly. I didn't let him go, and assured him that there was nothing more important than him.

A few seconds later, there was a contraction. My stomach suddenly started to have heartburn, which was normal at first, getting more and more frequent and not strong anymore. I want to give birth, Rendi quickly took me out of the house until I got in the car and then we arrived at the hospital.

I'm exhausted from thinking painful things. I also thought of things to come, other unexpected ones. Inevitably I have to undergo a caesarean section, even though there was an opening before, but because of the condition of the body that is getting weaker, the final decision is by surgery.

Before long, there was a baby boy I wanted. For three days I was not allowed to carry her, from behind a wide glass window, I looked at the face of the little baby, handsome like Rendi.

Thank you dear, for coloring your life. May Papah Rendi always be responsible until his last breath.

I pray that he will be given a long and baroque life. When I grow up I hope he doesn't hurt the woman he loves. I promised to teach her so she could respect women. I don't want him to make a mistake with any woman.
