Diana (Tarnished Girl)

Episode 23's.

In the car, Revan stared at the piece of paper in his hand happily, he was already convinced from the start that Dafa was indeed his flesh and blood.

"This time you can't avoid it anymore, Diana." Revan smiled and folded and kept the paper in the pocket of the shirt he was wearing.

Not wanting to waste time, Revan starts his car engine and leaves the hospital parking lot immediately.

In a different place, Diana had just finished bathing in Dafa and took her son downstairs.

"Mother will open the door first, you just wait here and don't be naughty!"

Dafa nodded, "Yes, Mother."

"Smart kid." Diana rubbed the head of Dafa and left her son in a room she and Eliana used to rest in.

Dafa who had begun to improve was sitting sweetly in one of the chairs while watching television which happened to be in the room.

With a little distress, Diana pushed the shophouse's folding door open, because now she lives here, so she had to open the laundromat. After that Diana swept the floor and terrace of the dusty shophouse.

"Good morning, Di," said Eliana.

Diana immediately turned her head, "Good morning, Miss El."

"How's your son doing?" ask Eliana.

"It's getting better, Mom. The body is not hot, although still a bit weak," replied Diana.

"Here I bring him porridge and fruit." Eliana lifted the paper bag she was carrying.

"Well, thank you very much, ma'am. So ngerepotin," said Diana sungkan.

"Nothing. Oh yeah, where's your son?"

"It's inside, Mom."

"Then you bring this porridge and fruit inside, let the mother continue your work."

"Eh, no need, Mom! A little more done, really!"

"That's okay!" Eliana gave the paper bag she was holding to Diana.

"Then I go inside first, yes, Mom."

Eliana nodded and smiled.

Diana stepped in with the paper bag Eliana gave her and went to Dafa, "We have breakfast first, yes, dear. This is Oma El there's a love of porridge and fruit for you."

"Yes, Mother. I'm hungry too" said Dafa, holding his stomach.

Diana smiled and opened the porridge lid and began to feed the son.

Dafa ate voraciously, due to vomiting yesterday and having no appetite, the adorable boy went hungry. Diana was happy and relieved that her son was fine now.

Shortly after, Eliana walked in and approached Diana.

"On the outside, there's someone else looking for you."

"Who, Ma?"

"The man at that time."

Diana's heart immediately pounded, she knew who the man was. At once he felt panicked and scared.

"Mom, please tell me I don't exist!" pinta Diana's.

"Yes, I told you you existed. But if you don't want to see him, I can kick him out."

"Yes, I'll take care of her." Eliana immediately approached the confused Dafa.

Feeling agitated and anxious, Diana finally met Revan who was already standing in front of where she worked.

"Would you like to come here again?" diana asked in a soft voice.

"I want to meet my son, where are you hiding him?" reply Revan.

Diana panicked, she was afraid Eliana would hear it.

"I told you he's not your son, so stop bothering him!" diana still cried in a soft voice.

Revan smiled then took out a piece of paper he had stored in his pocket earlier and showed it to Diana, "Look at this!"

Diana squinted at the white sheet that contained a lot of writing, she was a little confused even though her feelings began to feel bad.

"I've done a DNA test, and Dafa is indeed my flesh and blood. So you can't avoid it anymore now" Revan said.

Diana was flabbergasted, fear and panic were growing in her heart.

"It's all a lie! You must have intentionally engineered it!" diana's rebuttal who still insists on denying Dafa is Revan's biological son.

"If you don't believe it, we can retest it" challenged Revan, and Diana fell silent with a tense face.

"Alright, Diana! Stop covering everything! Let Dafa know who his real father is!" connect Revan.

"No! Whenever Dafa doesn't need to know who his father is, let him assume that his father is dead!"

"You can't be selfish, Diana! I am entitled to my son too!"

"You are selfish! After you ruined my life because of what you did, now you're coming at will and want to be acknowledged!" diana's murmur, quickly a clear liquid dripped from her eyes.

Revan was silent, there was pain when he heard the sentence Diana said.

"You know how hard it was for me to live my life all this time? I was traumatized and almost depressed. I was also often humiliated, reviled and ostracized for having children without a husband. Even my son became a victim and often get humiliation from others because he did not have a father. I suffered for four years and it's because of your depraved deeds! I hate you!" Diana was venting her emotions and pain all this time with tears in her eyes.

Revan is increasingly feeling guilty, he realizes all this is his fault, but he also wants to get recognition and affection from his own flesh and blood.

"I'm sorry" said Revan.

"You think sorry can change everything? No! The pain and hate will continue to keep me, and whenever I refuse my son acknowledges you as a father! So I'm asking you to stop interrupting our lives again!" Diana rushed in but Revan quickly pulled her arm.

"I'll take responsibility, I'll marry you to make amends for all my mistakes!" revan said firmly.

Diana gasped at the decision Revan made.

"We're going to take care of Dafa together" Revan continued.

Diana regained consciousness and tried to remove her arm from Revan's hand, "I don't need any responsibility from you! So let go of me and go right now!"

"I'm not leaving here before you forgive me and tell me where my son is!" Revan did not want to let go of Diana's hand which continued to rebel.

At the same time Raka's car entered the laundry parking lot, she hurried down when she saw Diana thrashing and trying to release Revan's hand checks. He approached the two with wide strides.

"Take him off!" snapped Raka.

Diana and Revan turned their heads towards Raka who was walking towards them with a sharp look.

"Mas Raka?" murmured Diana with bulging eyes and a tense face.
