For the first time Cindy expressed her feelings, the contents of the heart that had always been kept tight.
"Am I not more important than him? Am I not more valuable than him? Is it really like that??"
Riko pulled her body, giving a little distance between their arms. He looked at the face that had been shedding tears deeply.
"No, Cin. You wrong. You know that you are the most important thing to me, you are the most valuable person in my life! I love you."
Riko kissed the wife's forehead and then put her arms back together. His heart seemed to be sliced when he saw the sadness on Cindy's face caused by him.
"I'm tired, Rik. I'mtired. I've been trying to be patient and hold everything back, but you still can't let go." Cindy continued her outpouring of heart still with a sob that accompanied her every utterance.
"You're still thinking about how you can retaliate and hurt him. You know what, Rik? My heart hurts because of it. I'm jealous!"
Cindy roared in her tears. He no longer cared whether Riko would be angry at him or more than that. He was too tired to let everything happen the man wanted.
"Cin, you misunderstood! You know I hate him so much. So why are you jealous of her?"
"For all your time wasted just wanting to hurt and hurt him. For all your imprinted thoughts just for the sake of your revenge on him."
Cindy replied quickly and answered Riko's question at length. He revealed all the things that stuck in his heart.
"Me and your future son need you, Rik. But you? You even ignored us just for the sake of venting your anger at him in front of us."
Riko was surprised and looked at Cindy with a look full of regret. He was wrong because he was carried away by emotions and raged indistinctly in front of his wife who was pregnant with his future child.
Shifted his gaze down, looking at the wife's belly that was beginning to grow bigger and was very visible with tight clothes that wrapped around her synthetic body.
The man's body sagged to the floor. His gaze did not turn anywhere, other than on Cindy's stomach that was plastered in front of him now.
Slowly he knelt down and hugged his wife with his face pressed over that big belly. There was no movement he could feel from within, except for Cindy's still irregular breathing movements due to her crying.
"I'm sorry, Papa, son. Forgive Papa who has made you surprised and scared because of Papa's harsh and harsh words."
Riko kissed the entire surface of his wife's stomach and rubbed it gently with an apology for his original attitude.
"I'm sorry, Cin. Forgive me for ignoring you and your feelings until I blow my anger in front of you."
Cindy who had begun to calm down tried to regulate her breathing and relieve her stuffing. He wiped the head of Riko who was still lying on his stomach.
Love and unfortunately for the man was ingrained in his body, not only growing and developing in his heart.
The woman tried to relent, again and again. She knew it wasn't easy for her to make Riko forget her hatred for Alya.
Even after her current attitude and expression of regret, she knew Riko would stick to her goal of destroying Alya and the woman's life.

After successfully calming the wife and making her fall asleep in her arms, Riko slowly released her embrace and kept her body away from Cindy who continued to sleep.
She kissed the woman's forehead and sweet lips, then tidied up the blanket that warmed her beloved wife's body, before she shifted over and walked off the bed.
The man went into the bathroom to wash his face and cool his still troubled mind and was filled with anger.
With a small towel in hand, he dried his face and walked towards the kitchen to grab a cold drink from inside the refrigerator.
Alya's shadow that he met this afternoon still continued to cross his mind, making his heart that had cooled back to boil ignited anger.
"Why do you always make me feel inferior and despicable? Why does your every success always make me feel smaller and ostracized by my own family?"
Riko rested her body on the long chair of the living room. Lain her big body with a sense of fatigue that whack throughout the part.
His mind still continues to focus on the figure of a woman with a graceful hijab who is none other than an ex-wife who has never been considered and always humbled.
She knew him from toddlerhood because their parents were good friends and often visited and gathered together with each other and brought kellyara.
Much different social status and life background are not the same, do not dissolve the friendship that has been very closely intertwined between them.
"You've taken away my childhood happiness. You took over my parents' attention and left me out of my own family's primary concern."
Riko's memory goes back to the past, when she and Alya were always met and put in the same school by her father.
Increasingly, the innocent mind of the little boy seemed to begin to feel jealousy and injustice for the attitude of papa and his mother who not only spoiled him, but also gave the same attention to Alya.
Little Riko assumes that Alya is a cunning little girl who has managed to win the love of her parents, both parents, so whatever they have always they split the two and equal for Riko and Alya.
"I should have it all. I should have mastered everything and not have to share it with you who is none of us."
As a teenager, Riko, who had been able to voice a rebuttal, began to rebel and protest against all the good treatment of her parents against Alya and her family.
The unstable man begins to be affected by the surrounding environment and promiscuity that always poisons his mind with prejudice about Alya, which increasingly makes him assume that Alya is the usurper of his happiness.
In her eyes and heart, Alya is a seductive girl and her family's fortune-teller, who has managed to captivate her father and mother with her cleverness and achievements.
Alya is lucky because her parents have friends as well as Riko's parents who have raised her as a child and treated her the same without any difference with Riko and her eldest brother.
Moreover, his mother who had no daughter, increasingly pampering Alya because it is considered that he can replace the position of Riko's sister who died at birth first.
The peak of Riko's hatred began when his parents unilaterally betrothed him to Alya and proposed to Alya to be his wife.
The resentment is further compounded by the rise of resentment in the heart as her marriage to Alya leads her to break up with Cindy, the only woman she has loved so much since they were teenagers.
Riko is not aware if it is not just him who is actually disappointed and hurt because they have to obey the decision of both their parents.
Alya was equally tormented because he had to separate and eliminate his happiness and deepest love for Ardi, a lover he loved so much since the beginning of their first meeting on the college bench.
