LOVE COVERED WITH WOUNDS

THE WOUNDS OF THE PAST

Pratama pulls Mira's hand, dragging the middle-aged woman into the room where Raditya also brings Lauren who looks messy due to Mira's actions.

The girl did not cry. He just breathed tired. I don't know when he should be the target of Mira's hatred. He was silent because he respected his father. Otherwise, already from the first time Mira had teased him, the woman would definitely reply to him. No matter how old Mira is.

"Can you hold back a little to not disturb my daughter's life? When did you bother him? He didn't even have anything wrong with you, Mira!" Pratama takes off Mira's hand violently. The man shouted angrily at his wife.

It seems, Pratama really can not stand the behavior of Mira. All this time, he had been silent because he did not want to provoke a commotion. After all, Mira is the mother of Raditya and Monika.

Monika is his daughter along with Mira. The sister of Raditya. After a long time did not want to accept Mira, Pratama was finally destroyed, until Monika was born among them.

"His fault is only one, Pa! He's the son of the woman who took Papa from me!"

"Mira!" Pratama shook his head slowly. Why can't Mira forget the past?

"Listen, Mira. Nadia and I got married before you ruined our marriage. So, the one who snatched it was you not Nadia! You're the one who took me from Nadia in a sneaky way, Mira. Don't forget that fact just because you want to justify what you did!" Pratama looked at his wife with a fury.

Pratama thought, as time went on, Mira would change and become someone better. However, the time Pratama waited seemed to be just a waste. The older he gets, the more uncontrollable his wife becomes.

"If you're angry that Lauren is Nadia's son, should I also be mad at Raditya because he's your son with that man?"

"Pa!"

"Why, Mira? Why should you be angry?" Pratama looked at the woman who had lived with him for many years.

Mira's face was red. Netraya looked at Raditya who looked down in shame at his mother's behavior.

"Lauren is my son and Nadia from an official marriage. While you ... You used Raditya to set me up. You deliberately became pregnant with another man and then recognized the child as my son. If I wanted to, I hated Raditya a long time ago, Mira! Because you were pregnant she both your parents told me to marry you and leave Nadia who was pregnant at the time."

"Lauren was born without a mother. Because of you, he didn't get to see his mother. While Raditya, I even gave him a lot of affection even though at that time I knew that he was not my flesh and blood!" Pratama looked at Mira with pain in her heart. His two eyes glazed over as a flash of the past re-spinned on his head.

"I loved Raditya the first time the baby was born into the world, Mira. But, you? What's wrong with Lauren to the point that you hate her so much. You even killed his mother, Mira–"

"I didn't kill him!" shout Mira. He feels cornered at the moment. Both of his eyes continued to look at Raditya who looked disappointed. Really am! Mira never thought that Pratama would reveal her secret in front of her son.

"You killed him! You pushed Nadia down the stairs and she died. Do you know what? Lauren was even born when her mother died." Pratama's cry broke. Lauren approached Pratama and hugged him. While Raditya, looked at his mother with a look of disbelief.

Why does she have such a cruel mother?

"Why didn't Papa report Mama to the police, Pa? If it's true that Mama killed Eren's mother, Papa should have reported Mama to the police to have Mama take the punishment for her actions" Raditya said with pain in his heart.

"Radity." Mira shook her head slowly. Not believing the words that came out of the mouth of his beloved son.

"Papa couldn't have reported your mother to the police, Radit. Papa promised your grandfather before he died that Papa would look after your mother for the rest of your life."

"Papa." Raditya looked at the papa with a look of disbelief. How could his father be so patient in facing his mother? Why could his father live in peace with the woman who had killed his beloved wife?

What was the heart of the father made so strong that it endured years of pain?

"At that time, papa wasn't just thinking about your grandfather's will. But papa also thinks about the prospective baby in the womb of your mother. If you used to follow your anger and your grudge against your mama, maybe, you were born in prison and became the son of an inmate woman."
