Don't Take My Son

Impossible to Be Together

Ddrr....

The tone of the call still continued to be heard and the vibration of his HP was now felt in the palm of Kharisa's hand.

"Can I get a call first?" Kharisa asked, asking Rafael for aijin. Rafael nodded his head.

Kharisa pressed the green button and heard a familiar voice in his ear say hello.

"Assalamualaikum Neng."

"Waalaikumsalam, what's up A tumben calling at this hour, no longer busy?" Kharisa asked, for some reason, every time he heard Faisal's voice he innately felt calm.

"Again relaxed, again compile learning materials, just don't know how to want to call, Neng is okay right? Eh this is a disturbing Isal?" Faisal's voice was so clear that it was probably heard by Rafael. Kharisa stood up and walked towards the lake away from Rafael, not feeling good if his chat with Faisal was heard by Rafael even though there was no secret chatter.

"I'm fine A, I'm talking to Rafael A, he already knows about Rakha, even met at his school, now he asks the truth who Rakha is, who is his father, who is Rakha, it seems like all this time she did not know my pregnancy and Rakha, I don't know what her parents said about me." said Kharisa Lirih.

"Neng has it all been clear?"

"It was not until Rakha was born."

"Oh A Isal disturb well, sorry yes Neng, yes have continued again, remember do not get carried away with emotions, do not rush to make a decision, think carefully."

"A Saturday Isal's coming home, right?"

"God willing, most Saturday afternoon from Bandung, yes it is already supported continued, A Isal closed well. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight." Kharisa returned to his seat, since Rafael's eyes could not be separated from the figure of Kharisa, somehow his heart now rumbled to hear the voice of the man who contacted Kharisa seemed so familiar, so familiar, moreover, hearing a special call to Kharisa, just as Arjuna called Kharisa with the call 'Neng'.

"I'm sorry...is that enough or wants to continue again?" Actually from the radi delivered Kharisa it is clear that the dadynya Rakha is Rafael.

"I want to know when Rakha was born. Ahh." Rafael imagines how Kharisa struggles to give birth to his son while he is not beside him not even knowing Kharisa has fought to preserve his flesh and flesh and struggled with the stakes of life giving birth to him into the world.

"Risa ..I'm sorry, I really don't know what happened to you." This time Raffel's voice sounded trembling, his chest felt tight with guilt. He wanted to grab Kharisa's hand but Kharisa suddenly raised his hand pretending to tidy his hijab in the wind.

"I'll continue yah." Kharisa with

"I gave birth in the midwife's house not far from where we lived, thank God my pregnancy condition was fine, me and my fetus were healthy, so the obstetrician allowed me to be born in the midwife, so, I was accompanied by Mama who always faithfully accompanied me, I was also accompanied by my best friend, he who always strengthened me so that I could stand up, his name was Faisal, and he was, she was also the one who drove us to the midwife when I had a contraction. Raka was born safe, it was like a dream, at the age of eighteen I gave birth to my son, but I have no regrets about giving birth to Rakha, I was so happy, especially when I saw her in my lap." His smile expanded as he reflected on that historic day.

"The little baby was so handsome, when he first saw it immediately reminded me of his father, when just born it was similar to his father, unfortunately he was born without a father, he was born without a father, until his birth certificate only listed my name as his mother." Kharisa blinked, holding back the water that started to pool in his eyes. While Rafael seemed to harden his jaw with clenched hands.

"Why is my name not listed Sa? If I knew I would be responsible, I wouldn't reject my own flesh and blood" Rafael said furiously.

"Indeed, the child born out of wedlock on his birth certificate is not listed his biological father, unless his parents can show the marriage book on the birth certificate will be written the name of his father and mother.

"But I personally don't want to break my son's blood relationship with his biological father. I'm sorry if without your permission I put your last name on my son's name, hoping that his father would later recognize him as his son."

"Of course I admit it, Rakha my son Sa, my flesh and blood, he's our son." Rafael's face looked red, how could Kharisa think that he would not admit it.

"I'll be in charge of Sa, I'll be his whole father, I'll be his dady who he's been waiting for his return to." Now Rafael's eyes were glazed, he could not bear the pain of his heart that had abandoned his flesh and blood. He moved from his seat, crouched down in front of Kharisa and grabbed both hands of Kharisa in his grasp, of course making Kharisa surprised to try to pull his hand from Rafael's grasp, but his grip was so strong.

"Risa..take me to Rakha, tell her Dady's home, take me to see her Sa." His voice sounded trembling, now Rafael's cheeks had been wet with tears of regret, yes.he was crying, the sturdy man shed his regrets with tears that he could not contain, he said, her chest was too claustrophobic to imagine how Kharisa's life without a husband raised her child. All because of his actions, because of the selfishness of his parents.

"Risa will forgive me, forgive me for not trying to look for you earnestly, forgive me for making you suffer? Let me pay for my mistake Sa. I promise not to leave you, I will always be with you, with our son, let me pay for everything even though what I do later will not be worth your sacrifice Sa." Rafael tightened his grip, while Kharisa still fluttered with eyes.

"El. I have forgiven you, you may meet Rakha, but it must be in my house. But I'm sorry, to say that if you're the lady, I'm asking for time, I'll give it at the right time." Kharisa pulled his hand from Rafael's grasp when he felt his grip begin to loose.

"Why Sa, why wait for the right time? I'm sure he's expecting his Dady to come home, I'll apologize to him Sa, don't you torture me with my guilt and my remorse Sa." Now Raphael sat beside Kharisa facing him.

"I want to strengthen him first, I don't want him to be disappointed." Kharisa answered, wiping his wet eyes with both hands.

"Loved? Disappointed why?"

"I don't want him to be disappointed because his hopes of gathering with his dady aren't necessarily real."

"Risa...you doubt my willingness to accept Rakha as my son?" Rafael asked in an emphasis tone. Kharisa immediately shook his fist.

"I believe you'll take El's responsibility" he said.

"Then why?"

"Because we can't be whole parents to Rakha." Answer kharisa. Just contact made Rafael harden his jaw, and Kharisa's mat with a sharp look.

"Why? Do you not love me anymore? Oh....or because of the man who called you?" Rafael's hand now held Kharisa's shoulder, his eyes showing jealousy.

"Release El....." Kharisa's hand brushed off the hand of Rafael who was holding his shoulder.

"So right because of that man, the man who means so much to you?" There was anger on Rafael's face, jealousy to be exact.

"But not because of him" Kharisa said

"Want because of what?"

"Because you're engaged to Vania, El."

Degs.....

His heart seems to stop. Rafael was still glued. Kharisa's reply seemed to make him aware that he already had an appointment with another woman. She is engaged to Vania, the woman she never loved.

"Give me some time to find a good reason to tell Rakha. He's a critical kid but he'll understand it if it's explained well." Kharisa

"I don't love Vania, believe me, I'm willing to get engaged to Vania because of my parents' insistence."

"And you must fulfill your promise to them including Vania" Kharisa said in a firm tone.

"When you first came to the hospital, that day I knew that you were engaged to Vania, I heard it right from the chat of Vania and her friend."

"At that time I was so disappointed, sad, that's why I avoided meeting you, but I always tried to make peace with destiny, as I have always done so that my life was calm and happy" he said

"So you don't have to worry El, I won't demand you be a whole father to Rhaka, or demand you marry me, no..........You acknowledge Rakha as your son only that is enough for me, so when Rakha asks who her father is I can explain it."

"These few days I have learned to betray you, has not everyone's soul mate been arranged? Maybe we are not destined to be a match, we must accept the determination of destiny. So believe me El, me and Rakha will be fine, I will not limit your relationship with Rakha because you are her father."

"No Sa....God has not set our destiny, you are wrong to say we are not destined to mate, there is already Rakha among us, the fruit of our love even in the wrong way, we still have time to wait for destiny to be set for us and I'm sure we'll be together, me you and Rakha." Rafael looked fiery, he spoke with great confidence that they would unite

"Wait for me Sa, I'll finish my business with Vania and my parents, me..." It's not over Rafael said Kharisa cut him off.

"No El, I don't want to ruin your relationship, I don't want you to hurt Vania, don't break off your engagement El, I'm really fine." Now Kharisa who is worried that Rafael really broke their engagement, surely at the end of the day he will be accused of being his scapegoat. He does not want to be a destroyer of people's relationships, let alone get the nickname of the actor, he does not want.

"You may be okay, but I am Sa, I can't live with a woman I don't love, I accept that matchmaking because there is no compelling reason to refuse, but now I have my reasons. You and Rakha are now my goal Sa, and I'm sure you know how I feel about you, I still love you very much Sa, so please let me be among you, for the sake of our son Sa, for Rakha. Give me some time to finish it all, please Sa." Said Rafael in a clear voice.

Rafael's HP in his pants pocket rang, he picked it up and looked at the screen, emblazoned with the name 'Bang Andre' who contacted him.

"Yes Bang...?" Tanya Rafael precedes.

"What time are you there? It's noon, aren't you hungry?" Asked Andre, it seemed like he had been waiting since then.

"It's over Bang, where's Bang Andre?"

"I waited at the diner near the waterboom, in the third stall, my car parked in front of him. I've ordered grilled fish, grilled chicken plus karedok and sambalnya, later you just pay, hunt I'm starving." Rafael clucked, his cousin's brother always inserts a joke every day, he's the one who ordered Rafael's time just paid."

"Andre's waiting for us, we'll see him." Kharisa nodded his head, as there was nothing more to talk about

he got up from his seat and walked along the path to Rafael's car, followed by Rafael who walked behind him. Rafael takes his car to the dining place that Andre mentioned, parking it next to Andre's car.

"Risa ..wait." Kharisa stopped the movement of his hand that was about to open the door, then turned his head.

"Once again I beg you, wait for me, trust me, I don't love Vania and I can't possibly live with a woman I don't love."

"We will live together, me, you and Rakha."

"And later in the afternoon I'll see Rakha." Rafael turns off his car engine, then goes out and opens the door for Kharisa who is still stunned by Rafael's remarks.

Andre is seen sitting down to enjoy the duwegan (whole young coconut). In front of him has presented several types of food there are grilled fish, chicken broth, karedok, grilled pete and sambal and lalapannya. Do not forget the duwegan for Rafael and Kharisa have also been prepared. That was ordered for all three of them.

After eating them back to the hospital, Kharisa returned one car with Andre, so as not to make the hospital people suspicious.

In the afternoon Rafael manifested his desire to visit Raka. At four o'clock in the afternoon he came out of the hospital building, to his mess, he took a shower, wearing a possible slobber to give a good impression at his second meeting with Rakha.

Some of the parcels he had prepared, he bought them before returning to the hospital, various toys he chose without knowing what kind of toys Rakha liked, likewise with various foods and milk drinks he bought up to two full plastic bags, no matter what Rakha will eat or not.

Now Rafael has been on the front porch of Kharisa's house. With his heart beating he tried to knock on the door.

Tok.

"Assynogaic"

"Getisham." There was an answer from inside the house, the sound of children was heard so clearly, as well as the sound of footsteps getting closer. The door opened, a small child with round eyes and an adorable look on his face.

"Om doctel.....Doctel wants to see me?"
