LOVE NARA

282. BE A GOOD FATHER

"How are you, Rik?"

One week after giving birth to her beautiful daughter, Cindy swerved into her husband's house of detention.

"As you can see, I'm fine. What about our son?" riko asked while enjoying the lunch brought by his wife.

Cindy pulled out her phone and opened the gallery and showed them pictures of their tiny baby.

Riko put down her spoon then took Cindy's phone and noticed one by one a photo of their tiny baby. Her face turned full of smiles as she stared at some of the beautiful photos.

"She's so pretty, just like you."

"Everyone says the same thing like that, Rik."

"really?" riko asked without taking her eyes off the princess's face on his wife's phone screen.

"Yes. Even the doctor who helped give birth to her said so."

With a happy face, Cindy momentarily remembered Alya, the person who contributed in the process of childbirth.

"If it wasn't him who stood by me and calmed me down, maybe I'd have given up from the beginning and asked for surgery."

Actually, it is not Alya who is planned to be visited by Cindy when she wants to give birth to her baby. As Riko requested, there was already another doctor in a different clinic who was the choice of the man so that his wife continued the pregnancy examination to undergo labor at the place.

Cindy complied with Riko's request. After her last checkup at Alya's clinic and her meeting with her husband's ex-wife, she tells Riko, her husband was angry and asked Cindy no longer to go to the clinic so as not to meet the woman he hated so much since childhood.

But when she began to feel the signs of giving birth, her mind was always on the woman who looked graceful with her hijab.

The shadow of Riko's treatment of Alya and the violence she often did to the woman made Cindy suffer from fear and worry if one day, one day, the ill-treatment of her husband will be turned around and experienced by their daughter.

On the sidelines of the contractions that are increasingly frequent and routinely felt, Alya's soft face continues to overshadow Cindy's mind, mixed with worry about having to go through labor alone without a husband accompanying her.

His fear of bad karma that might befall his daughter's life later, makes Cindy want to see Alya before giving birth and apologize for Riko's bad attitude to the woman all along.

Accompanied by Miko and his wife, Cindy goes to the clinic where Alya works and has met before. Until finally she can meet with Alya and give birth to her baby with the help of the woman directly.

"I told you, he's a more experienced doctor. That's why I asked you to do a pregnancy checkup and also give birth to our baby there."

Riko put Cindy's phone on the table and continued her lunch voraciously. He did not know if it was not the doctor he meant who had helped the birth of his beloved wife.

Cindy was still silent and let Riko spend her lunch, also enjoying her fresh fruit juice for her husband.

"Actually, I did not give birth there ..," Cindy said in a quiet way, after her husband spent all the supplies he brought.

Riko turned to the side, staring intently at his wife who had already lowered her head.

"Don't tell me you're going to that clinic again?!" The man's voice rose every time he heard anything related to the ex-wife he had never loved.

"Yes. I did deliberately go there to meet Alya."

There is no longer any fear of admitting everything, even though Cindy is not used to hearing Riko's loud voice to her. Only to Alya, the man had always been acting full of endless anger.

Riko held her anger in her heart. There were several officers watching in the meeting room. After all, he couldn't possibly be angry at his wife. Just disappointed that Cindy didn't heed his request.

Riko growled to know his wife was apologizing to the woman who made her life feel neglected and not privileged anymore by her own family.

"Before I met Alya, I felt a lot of pain but when examined by the doctor, my opening did not increase at all."

"That's when I thought of Alya and thought of the mistake that you and I had done to her. I'm afraid I don't have time to apologize to her, while I'm starting to be on the edge of life to give birth to our child."

Riko was touched by his wife's words. He imagined the weight of the struggle of the wife to be able to give birth to their beautiful daughter into the world. Moreover, he could not be there and accompany her beside Cindy.

"I'm sorry for not being able to stand by you and give you strength there at the time."

"It's all because of him!"

Riko blamed Alya. Because of Alya, he had to miss the beautiful moment of welcoming the presence of the little one in the middle of their family for the first time.

"Don't blame Alya anymore, Rik. He knows nothing and does nothing to our family. You're the one who's wrong because you're always hurting her."

As if knowing what Riko was thinking, Cindy tried to temper the anger inside her husband. He did not want the man to get into trouble again just because he still held an endless grudge against Alya.

"You're still lucky, Alya just followed up on one report that someone who knew what you were doing first. Not to add to another heavier report of your behavior over the previous years."

Still, Riko had another opinion and did not accept the woman's courage to justify the report she had filed for her actions, even if it was true.

"Now you have become a father and our first child is a woman. Have you ever thought and imagined if the consequences of your actions now, someday he will also get the same bad treatment as what Alya felt so far ...??"

Riko's chest rumbles violently at Cindy's heart and makes her think about the future of their beautiful baby.

But on the other hand, the feeling of hatred was ingrained in his heart. She doesn't like Alya enjoying her life while she has to languish behind bars and live a lonely life in the cold walls of the prison.

"Be a good and wise father to our son. Set a good example with your good behavior that will be a role model for our children. Because in fact a child is an excellent imitator of what is done by both parents."

Once again Riko's heart was touched to hear the sentence after sentence that his wife said about their main responsibilities as parents.

"Should I stop now and forget all the heartache I had felt from his presence in the midst of my family ...?"
