Hugged Me, Mother

chapter 5

"So this is the cause? Why don't you just let me live in an orphanage so I never know this painful truth."

"Mom, that's the past don't go to the present. Alya my sister, I still love her. Alya is innocent in this, Alya is just a victim."

"Mother, am I wrong if I was born from the womb of a woman secretly married by Father. Even I never wanted this."

"You're not wrong but every time I see you, I'm always reminded of the betrayal my husband and your mother did to me. I hate them."

Chandra begins to remember the events of twenty-three years ago where she caught her husband wet with another woman at a night market.

*FLASHBACK ON"

Twenty-three years ago at Chandra's and her husband's house.

Morning when Fathir ~ husband Chandra, about to go to work.

"Honey, today I'm home late yes maybe until late at night. I have overtime in the office" said Fathir, looking at Chandra with a friendly smile.

Chandra, who was wearing a tie to her husband, raised her head so she could look at him!

"Waste again, why lately you often overtime and if you remember the past year you are often assigned outside the city" said Chandra.

Not one bit Chandra suspects her husband will cheat because there is not the slightest attitude of Fathir that changes to her, she is always friendly and considerate of him especially after she gave birth to Najwa, Fathir is so dear to her and also his daughter.

"How else, all this for the future of us and our children" said Fathir as he cupped Chandra's cheeks with his palm.

Chandra smiled and grabbed Fathir's hands!

"Yes, be careful."

"Dear, I must be careful." Fathir kissed her forehead and walked over to Najwa who was lying on top of a baby box!

"Darling Papa, you don't fuss. Papa worked first, now it's your turn to take care of Mama," said Fathir to the two-year-old baby.

Najwa who at that time did not understand anything just laughed in response to the words of his father.

After saying goodbye, Fathir immediately left his house.

–––––– –––––––

The night is about twenty o'clock past twenty-five minutes.

Chandra was at the night market with her baby and wanted to meet her friend at the market that night.

Carrying Najwa, Chandra walked into the market that night with eyes that kept circulating his gaze in all directions to look for his friend who he said was already there.

Accidentally, Chandra saw her husband riding one of the rides there along with a woman. Seen Fathir so friendly with the woman, he stroked the woman's distended stomach and the woman also received every treatment Fathir had on her.

Chandra's tears begin to flow down her cheeks, she can't believe her husband is cheating on her until she's pregnant.

Chandra walked up to the ride when Fathir and the woman were about to get off, she needed an explanation from her husband for what he saw at the time!

"If this baby is born, I want you to punish him because you are the father of this baby," said Winda ~ Mother of Alya.

Only then will she ask for an explanation, she has already heard the words of the woman who was with her husband.

Fathir turned his body around because he wanted to buy a ticket to ride on another ride.

"Murray!" Fathir was surprised to see Chandra in front of him.

"Your work is." Those were the last words spoken by Chandra before she finally left her husband at that place.

Carrying Najwa, Chandra kept running towards his car! She no longer wanted to talk to her husband.

"Chandra wait! Chandra listen to my explanation first!" fathir Exclamation.

Chandra ignored Fathir's words, he continued to run into his car and without lingering he immediately stepped on the gas pedal in his car and immediately drove his car at high speed.

Panicked Fathir directly into his car to chase Chandra, he was afraid Chandra would do reckless at home.

"Chandra stop, Chandra!"

Fathir continues to chase Chandra who is driving his car at high speed.

"Who is he?" ask Winda while continuing to hold her stomach.

Vinda did not know that the man who married her was married and had children. Fathir never told him about it.

"He's my wife, I have a wife and children all along" Fathir said without lowering the speed of his car.

"What, aaah." Winda was shocked to hear the words of the husband suddenly his stomach hurt until he could not bear the pain.

"Aww, my stomach hurts," said Vinda.

"Win, Winda, you hold it, we're going to the hospital now. Maybe the baby will be born." Fathir immediately panicked when he saw Winda who was in so much pain.

In Chandra's car.

Chandra continued to drive his car without lowering his speed. While continuing to cry he tried to focus on driving because no matter how he was driving with his only daughter.

Chandra occasionally sees Najwa lying on the bench next to him.

"It turns out your dad isn't as good as we think Son, '" Chandra murmured.

After not seeing Fathir chasing him again, Chandra lowered his speed slowly.

"It turns out that man prefers that cheap woman" Chandra said with emotion.

After driving for about fifteen minutes, Chandra finally arrived at his house. He immediately entered while holding the sleeping Najwa!

Shortly after she laid Najwa down, her house phone rang. He immediately walked towards the phone to immediately receive an unknown call from who it was.

[Hello.] Chandra said after receiving the call.

[Can I speak to Chandra Namira's mother?] said a woman who called Chandra.

[I myself.]

[We from xxx hospital want to inform you that your husband had an accident and is now in our hospital. For that we ask you to come immediately to take care of all his needs.]

[What, accident?] Chandra seems surprised to hear the news, even though she has already been hurt by Fathir's treatment of her but even though Fathir is still her husband and also the father of her child.

[Alright, I'll come as soon as possible.]

Chandra hung up and prepared to leave again.

"Mom, I'm leaving. Please take care of Najwa, yes" Chandra told her domestic assistant.

"Yes, Mom."

Chandra rushes away, arriving in time at the hospital before she loses the chance to meet and ask for an explanation from her husband.

It didn't take long, Chandra finally arrived at the hospital. She ran into the hospital and to where her husband was handled by the doctor.

"Your husband is in this room, please come in" said one of the nurses there.

"Thank you, Sister." Chandra entered the room and immediately saw Fathir lying with a newborn baby beside him.

Slowly Chandra stepped closer to Fathir, who was lying on a hospital bed!

Her tears flowed when she remembered her husband's betrayal of her.

"Chandra forgive me" Fathir said in a soft tone.

"Why, why are you like this?"

"I beg you to take care of this baby. He's my son."

With tears flowing Chandra looked at her husband with a look of disbelief.

She was already in pain when she knew the betrayal by her husband, it was impossible for her to take care of the baby from the affair.

"I can't Mas, I won't."

"Please Chandra, her mother died at the accident site, please. He's my son too."

With a heavy heart, Chandra finally agreed to the request of the husband who asked him to take care of the baby until adulthood.
