Just An Illusion

A happy future

Alvaro who did not find Inara in his room, of course, panicked not playing. Circulated his gaze around as if trying to find answers to his own questions. Until then Ratih came and approached him at that time.

"Where is Inara Ma? Didn't something happen here? How.." said Alvaro but immediately cut by Ratih who seemed to know, what is being sought by Alvaro at this time.

"Inara is in the nursing room, you don't have to worry Inara is fine.. Although the stitches are torn, Inara is a strong girl. Calm yourself, son.." said Ratih while patting Alvaro's shoulder gently, then passed away from there.

Hearing the words from Ratih just made a sigh of relief sound clearly out of his mouth. Alvaro was really grateful that Inara could survive and pass the critical period, it made Alvaro then rubbed his face violently at that time.

"Thank God Inara's fine, I'm really scared when I get there.. It didn't happen anyway, did it?" alvaro said to himself, before finally stepping his feet towards the nursing room.

Breastfeeding room

Carefully Inara appears to be holding the tiny baby who is still reddish in color. The baby's cry made her tears glow without Inara being able to prevent it. I don't know why seeing it like this, makes Inara can't stop crying.

She held the baby towards her p4yud4r4 so that she could be easier to breastfeed, while gently rubbing the baby's puffed cheeks Inara was seen smiling happily at that time.

"You're here Ra? I was looking for you earlier? Are you all right?" said a voice that then made Inara turn towards the source of the sound instantly.

Inara smiled at the arrival of Alvaro who was stepping closer to him at that moment.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. Looky.. Isn't he very funny?" inara said softly while showing the tiny baby.

"Yes he's very funny.. His nose is really similar to yours." said Alvaro as he rubbed the baby's cheeks gently.

"justified? Actually I'm a little upset because almost overall he looks like you. But I think maybe it's good also because then he will definitely be a handsome man dream of all women just like his father" said Inara while staring at his Son.

"So this time you admit that I'm handsome? Isn't your mom very sweet, son?" alvaro said in a seductive tone made Inara then snorted with annoyance because of it.

"Don't joke Daddy." said Inara who then made Alvaro immediately kissed the top of Inara's head at that time.

A moment of silence until then a voice coming from Inara, suddenly made the atmosphere a little strange.

"Have you met Karan Mas?" inara said suddenly which then made Alvaro speechless for a moment.

Alvaro's face looked so flat at that moment, a shadow of how the incident he had just experienced flashed clearly in his memory. Alvaro rubbed the top of Inara's head gently and then tried to smile as much as possible.

"Yet, is there something Ra?" ask Alvaro then.

"Somehow, I just feel like this is all a misunderstanding. Lina told me everything about Karan and Arin. I am so sorry that he chose to sacrifice himself for his love. I knew I was being so selfish because I was strangely lucky for Lina's decision to let me go. It's just... I'm really not ready to see you sad because of both of us. Besides this child you have been waiting for a long time, if something happens to him I do not know what will happen to you later." said Inara with a sad face.

"What do you think Ra? How could I be worried about my son. For me you two are just as important, I don't deny that I am also grateful for the decision Lina made. It's just that you can't continue to be locked in the guilt of Lina's decision at that time. I think Lina must have thought about it carefully before doing this. You deserve to live Ra.. So does our Son." said Alvaro trying to calm Inara.

Alvaro clearly knows that currently Inara is sad and still surprised by what happened today.

"Certainly mas?" inara said as if in disbelief.

"Of course" Alvaro said with a smile with a knot, making Inara a little relieved when he heard the words from Alvaro just now.

***

Today is the trial of the divorce verdict both dropped, as well as a marker that the relationship has ended today.

Kikan seemed to stop his footsteps at that time, making Alvaro who found it then stopped and looked towards where Kikan was.

"Is there anything Ki?" ask Alvaro then.

Hearing this Kikan seemed to smile with a knot and then stepped closer to where Alvaro was.

"Congratulations on your new title as Father, I hope our relationship doesn't break up until here. Um.. For the last time, may I shake your hand? I beg you." said Kikan as he began to point his hand at Alvaro at that moment.

"Don't make this breakup into a mellow drama Ki, even though we are no longer together but we can still be friends. I will always be there when you need me, do not regard me as a brother. Promise me you'll fetch your happiness Ki.. Promise me.." said Alvaro as he welcomed Kikan's hand.

"I promise from today will live happily and throw away the mask I use, thank you very much Al.. Thank you.." said Kikan with a smile on the knot.

Parking area

After the separation that occurred between Alvaro and Kikan, Alvaro seemed to move his legs towards the direction where his car was parked at that time. A ringing of his cell phone, then stopped Alvaro's footsteps instantly.

"Hello.." said Alvaro right after sliding the green icon on his phone screen.

"Today is the verdict hearing from Mrs Tamara Pak, it can be ascertained if Ms Tamara received a life sentence. Are you satisfied with this, sir?" said a voice coming from Abi across there.

"Actually I am not satisfied with this verdict given what my former in-laws have done to Inara. It's just that at least I still have the heart and not that kind of money to ask for a death sentence for him. Report to me the progress, I go first." said Alvaro then before finally disconnecting the phone.

After ending his phone call, Alvaro appears to have started to bring his footsteps into the car.

"Hello Dad? Is everything okay?" said a voice that came from Inara with a deliberate tone he made a little more flattened.

Alvaro smiled at the warm greeting, then kissed the top of Inara's head and the cheeks of her son's bully.

"Have you two waited so long? Sorry yeah.. I still have to get things done first" Alvaro said, staring anxiously at the two.

"No need to worry, my son is not fussy at all. Look at! Although his father had come he was still at home swimming in the island of his dreams." said Inara while kissing the cheek of his son at that time.

"Thankfully then, at least I have no trouble keeping my sister" Alvaro said with a smile.

"From today let's start everything from the beginning of Mas." said Inara suddenly made Alvaro immediately look up to look at the source of the sound with a moment.

"Yes, a new beginning and a new way of happiness for me, you and our Son. I promise I will always be there for you until, at any time, even until death do us part. Let's start everything from the beginning of Ra and step together towards a happy future." said Alvaro with a radiant face.

"Of course it is..."
