“When did you come back?” tanya Dea who is carrying her groceries for monthly needs.
When he heard the voice of his wife immediately smiled, then moved from his seat to help bring his wife's groceries.
“I just arrived. Why not just order online? It's quite heavy for you,” he said seeing his wife look exhausted.
“It's not too heavy. Huh ... briefly, I will prepare lunch for you,” part.
Dika nodded, seeing her daughter was busy drawing in her writing book. He followed his wife into the kitchen.
“What are you cooking?” tanya Dika made Dea surprised, because she came without a sound.
“Gosh! You're shocking me. Fried chicken, as well as other vegetables.”
Dika nodded.
“Mm ... Dea, don't you want to come with me back home? It seems that starting next month I very rarely go home, my job is so much. My time is just a little for you guys,” he spoke carefully.
Dea was instantly speechless, if she returned to her hometown the same way she would open old wounds.
It had been several years that he had forgotten his bitter past, until he managed to get to this point.
“Dea, don't worry. There's me who's always protecting you and your ex-husband wouldn't dare touch you including Clara. I got word that your ex-husband is already poor,”.
Dea was a little surprised because Dika discussed her ex-husband outside, she slowly pulled her husband's hand to go into the room and locked him.
“Don't talk about him in front of Clara, I don't want him to know his real father.”
Dika understood, then nodded.
Dea sat on the edge of the mattress, repeatedly sighing heavily. Dika sat down and took his hand.
“Dea, come with me. I can't stay apart for too long with Clara,” he said taking his wife's hand.
“Including you Dea,” he added inwardly.
Dea seemed to think for a moment, she also could not refuse the request of Dika who was her husband at this time. Moreover, Clara who could not be far from Dika, even they seemed to be inseparable.
Dea recalls Dika's kindness to her when she was evicted by her ex-husband from home.
Flashback.
“Bi, where should we go? I do not even know the direction of our destination,” complained Dea, they are now resting in a small shop.
“Dea, how about we go to Auntie's village. If we were still in this city, Mr. Alex would be looking for Dea's whereabouts right now. To be safer, we must leave this city,” suggested Bibi.
Because she and Aunt have no family, Dea decides to follow her aunt.
They stepped back to continue their journey to the bus terminal, because they were going to go to Bibi village.
When he was about to cross the road, Dea felt extremely dizzy. More dizzy than this morning, until the world was so dark and he was unconscious in the middle of the road.
The panicked aunt saw the state of Dea falling unconscious, then shouted for help at the stopped rider.
Many helped Dea to take him to the side of the road, some even gave him drinking water.
“Dea, what happened?” ask a man who happened to recognize her.
“She fainted, Sir. Look, his face is very pale. Indeed since this morning, Dea has been sick,” said aunt no less panicked.
“We're going to the hospital now,” he said directly carrying Dea into his car.
After arriving at the hospital, Dea is still being examined by a doctor. Previously they had examined Dea, but they advised Dea to see a gynecologist.
“Congratulations Sir, Your wife is pregnant. Estimated gestational age has entered five weeks,” said the doctor gave as long as Dika.
The deg!
Somehow heard the happy news, but there was no hue of happiness emanating on Dea's face.
Dika looked at Dea who looked gloomy after hearing the news.
“Congratulations yes, soon you will be Mom,” whispered Dika on Dea.
Tears just flowed without excuse, making Dika even more suspicious if something was wrong with Dea at this time.
After leaving the doctor's house, because they are allowed to go straight home because there is no serious illness.
“Dea, did something happen to you?” ask Dika when they are in the car.
Dea shook her head, not wanting to tell her the problem. But he was very ashamed of Dika.
“Alright, if you don't want to talk. I'll find out,” Dika said.
When he glanced at the rearview mirror, he almost forgot about aunt's whereabouts.
“Bi, tell me what happened? Were you guys kicked out of your house?” ask Dika to Aunt.
Aunt looks silenced, actually she really wants to tell it. But he did not have the courage.
“Auntie don't be afraid, I'll be in charge.”
Aunty seemed to think, if she did not tell him how about the fate of Dea at this time.
“Dea, forgive Aunt. All this for your safety,” said aunt made Dea back to shed tears.
Her highness aunt told Dika everything, how Vino's cruelty repeatedly slapped her to cover up her affair with Diana.
Dika seemed to clench his hands tightly.
“Then, where are you going now?” tanya Dika still held back her anger.
“Bibi wants to take Dea away to Bibi village, most likely Dea is safe there.”
“I will finance the need to go home, Dea will come with me. I hope you follow what I say,” Dika said.
Dika smiled seeing Dea nod.
A few days later, Dika kept his promise to take Dea away from the city.
They went to a small town, where Dea would raise her unborn child.
After finding a comfortable enough place for Dea, Dika breathed a sigh of relief from being able to see Dea's smile return after a few days of gloom.
“Dea, do you still want to go back on Vino?” tanya Dika was careful.
Dea was silent, she looked at Dika for a moment then shook her head.
“I will never return to that house again!” Dea rounded up her resolve.
Dika hid her smile as Dea said that.
Dea asked Dika to take care of her divorce papers, because she was pregnant so that the divorce was delayed until she gave birth.
Time passed so quickly, today her first daughter was born. From the beginning of her pregnancy, Dika never left her. He had always been there for Dea, even as Dea was now allowing Dika to name her.
Dea also no longer wants to be tied to Vino, although in fact he has separated from Vino religiously.
With the help of Dika's lawyer, Dea finally officially separated and Dea officially holds the status of widow.
When Clara was five months old, she was never the affection of a father. Dika gives Clara his full attention, so one day Clara has a high fever. Especially when Dika is not at home because there is a business of work out of town, Dea is very panicked and forced to contact Dika.
Not waiting for tomorrow to come home, he immediately held the five-month-old boy, until Clara fell asleep on his shoulder. Unlike the previous, Clara always cried and did not want to be carried by her mother Dea.
“Dea, what does Doctor say?” tanyakanya.
“He only had a common fever, Due to the growth of his first teeth. It's just that he's very fussy and his fever is very high.”
Dika's view has still not switched to Clara who has fallen asleep, with the infusion hose still attached.
“Dea, I'm afraid that Clara would be sad if she found out that I wasn't her father. I'm not even a nobody you guys,” said Dika.
The deg!
Dea did not even think that way, but Dika's words were indeed true.
“Dea, if I'd like to marry you. But, if you don't mind I don't matter. We did it all for Clara,” she stared at Dea who looked down.
“I'm not forcing you, if you refuse it means that when Clara is healed I will slowly stay away from you including Clara. I don't want Clara to get too close to me, so she thinks I'm her father, even though I'm not her real gynecologist,” Dika added.
Dea was still silent, she did not say a word.
The next morning, Clara's fever was back down. Dika prepares to leave the hospital, before Clara wakes up and sees that it will be difficult for her to leave.
“Where are you?” tanya Dea woke up from hearing the sound of foot movement.
“I have to go before Clara wakes up, take care of her for me.”
Staring at the face of Dea who was still with a pillow face, Dea moved from her bed to approach Dika who was slowly peeping Clara's cheeks.
Grep ....
Dea immediately hugged Dika who was putting a bag on her back, making them almost fall due to Dea's impromptu hold on her.
“Dea, don't be like this? What if someone sees us?” he asked, but his hand even replied to Dea's hand.
Because this was also the first time Dea had embraced her after a few years ago.
“Do not go,” said Dea lirih still in the deck Dika.
“Why did you keep me from leaving? I have to do this, all for you. You don't worry, all your needs will I send every month.”
Dea shook her head.
“I want you to stay here, with us.”
Dika fell silent, still digesting Dea's speech. Did Dea agree to marry him?
“I'm willing to marry you, for the sake of our son.”
Dika did not immediately reply, he was so surprised by Dea's words just now.
“Did you hear?” tanya Dea let go of her latch.
Dika nodded.
Although only for the sake of Clara, he has made himself very happy, because he can already have Dea completely.
Flashback.
“Dea,” call Dika while shaking Dea's shoulder which he has since called him but Dea does not flinch at all.
“Hah, forgive me.” Dea instantly awakened.
“What are you thinking?” tanyakanya.
“No, I only remembered the bitter past. I agreed to come with you, especially Clara can't be far from you.”
“But, what if the man finds out if Clara is his daughter?” dea asked, there was still fear on her face.
“Don't be afraid I'm always with you. Actually Clara must also know who her real father is, just that he is still too young to know the problem of adults.”
“Iya, thank you always there for us.”
Dika smiled to hear it, when he was about to hug Dea the door of the room was immediately wide open until he abandoned his intention to hug his wife.
