Forgive Me, Love

83. Ready to Be His Dad

" Will be your son's father. I will love him like a child. You don't have to worry that he won't get a father figure. You will be responsible for your life and your children. They will take you far away from here. We'll stay three. You and your child will be our son. "

" Don't just talk mas. " replied Novia while looking down.

" It's serious, brother. Mas, still love you so much. I'm sorry if I'm late to say it. You should have said it the day you asked for it back. "

" She, Novia is a married woman. Nov is no longer what it used to be. And I saw it for myself, right? Nov is also pregnant. Another boy. Mas Candra deserves a much better woman than Novia. If you used to say something like this, Nov would be very happy. Everything has changed, my. Nov must not be selfish either. "

" Sir, I don't care about your status right now. You know, right now I still love you so much. Just like before. And I am ready to accept you as you are. Whatever your condition. Even I'm ready to be your son's father."

Novia fell silent unable to answer Candra's words.

" You're not selfish. It's who wants you. Who wants you. After this child is born, you can divorce your husband, then we get married. We raise this boy together."

" Nov can't. Had Nov indeed had to divorce from Novia's husband, Nov would have cared for and raised this child himself. Novia would never sacrifice a life. Candra is already too good with Novia. "

Candra took a deep breath and then exhaled it. Candra realized, it would be impossible to persuade Novia to accept it now. Novia must still love her husband. He will be patient to get Novia back.

" All right, brother. It will not make you accept the mas. But, allow me to help you. Allow the mas to take care of you, at least until your child is born and you can stand on your own" said Candra finally while staring fixed bead Novia's eyes.

And finally Novia also nodded, accepting Candra's offer. He has no back up now, however. And in this state, he would not be able to stand up and walk on his own.

Candra smiled with satisfaction. At least when he is with Novia, he will take Novia's heart back little by little.

The conversation ends when the nurse enters to help Novia clean up.

After taking the drug, and examined by a Dea doctor, Novia's condition improved. His body was not as healthy as it was this morning. He was able to walk on his own, although still with an infusion needle attached to his hand.

Novia picked up her phone which was in the bag on the bedside table. She's kind of lonely because Candra has to go to the cafe.

" Oh yes, Andre and Shinta were married yesterday. But I haven't even congratulated him. Mending me a video call only. " murmured Novia.

Then he looks for Shinta's name contact on his smart phone.

" Hello Novia.." said Shinta.

Shinta's happy face on Novia's phone screen.

" Hello to Shinta. How are you, mbak?"

" Thank God, I'm good. You how are you?"

" Nova is good too. Alhamdulillahot. Congratulations on the marriage of Shinta and bang Andre. "

" Yes, Novia..."

" Dear, who's calling?" the voice of the person next to Shinta.

" Here baby. It's Novia video call " replied Shinta.

Then came Andre's face next to Shinta.

" Hello Novia.." said Andre.

" Hello bang Andre. Well, bang Andre looks different today " replied Novia.

" Yes obviously dong. Yes, dear." said Andre while embracing Shinta's shoulder.

" Novia's sorry bang, Miss Shinta...Novia couldn't come to your wedding yesterday" Novia said with her sad eyes filled with sadness.

" No pa-pa" replied Andre and Shinta simultaneously.

" Thank God he is healthy. " Novia kind of kept her phone away so her stomach would show.

Andrew found something.

" Where are you Nov? "

" Other in room bang. "

" In which room? "

" Yes in Novia's room was bang. " replied Novia who was deliberately covering up if she was not healthy.

" Don't lie Novia. Are you sick again? " ask Andre to the point.

Shinta immediately looked at the screen of her phone closely.

" Yes really. You're in the hospital? Your hands are infused so. " added Shinta.

Novia smile. But a smile full of wounds.

" Yes, "he answered softly while looking down.

" What are you sick Nov? Since when did you go to the hospital? " ask Andre.

" Maybe a congenital orok bang. Novia passed out yesterday afternoon. Keep taking your aunt to the hospital. But now Novia is not pa-pa. "

Visible tear feathers wet Novia's eye fertilizer.

" You must take good care of Novia's health. "

" Yes mbak. Yes already, Novia hang up her phone first mbak Shinta, bang Andre. "

" Yes Novia. I'll see you tomorrow. Tomorrow we are in Semarang, " replied Shinta.

" Yes mbak. Assalamualaikum says. "

" Greetings waalaikum" replied Andre and Shinta simultaneously.

After the call ended, Shinta and Andre spoke to each other.

" I suspect dear about Novia to the hospital. "

" yes. I'll ask Remon. "

then Andre contacted Remon and asked what had happened with Novia during her time in Surabaya. Remon told me everything he knew.

" How dear? " ask Shinta.

" You're right. Novia passed out after Boby's departure to Surabaya yesterday. And again, Boby took Karell home. Remon also said Novia's condition was worrisome. His doctor said that until he was anfal again, the doctor could not guarantee his safety as well as his son." explained Andre.

" Oh my God . so sorry Novia. We must get to Semarang immediately. I want to accompany Novia. "

" yes. Tomorrow we return to Semarang. And we went straight to Novia at the hospital. "

How outrageous Boby is. He did not take care of his wife at all.
