Maybe this is the first time, Vera looks bad.
"You're thinner than I last knew" Rico said, sighing. Vera nodded faintly.
"How's Nami doing? What about his stomach? Are both okay?" ask Vera to make sure.
"Both were good even though Nami gave birth prematurely due to bleeding," explained Rico who got this information from Yugi.
"Really?"
"Yes." Yeah." Rico nodded.
"Thank God."
"Your actions are also appropriate Vera. Acknowledging mistakes and not trying to cover up is the right course of action."
Unlike the way Rico views during the separation with Vera. After hearing that Vera confessed wrongly when the police arrested them, Rico had more respect for this woman. That misconfession apparently had a big impact on Rico.
"Oh, I know that. I-i know. I-i understand. That incident continues to haunt me. I feel constantly in the hunt of fear. It felt like my head was going to explode considering that it kept spinning inside my head.” Vera told with frightened eyes. There is a sense of compassion that engulfs Rico.
"Sorry," Rico said to Vera's surprise. His head looked up at Rico stunned. Maybe this is the first time Rico apologized to her. "Because of me, you became like this."
"M-mas Rico does not need to apologize," said Vera back down.
"Maybe I also feel guilty for not defending you, but you need to know, I'm not defending you not out of hate, but rather because I want you to be good. Maybe with a little punishment like this, you will realize" Rico said.
"Yes, I understand" said Vera lirih.
"Attent. Someone wants to meet you, Vera," Rico said as he moved out of his chair.
Who wants to meet me? Is that Nami? Yugis? terka Vera is figuring out who she'll meet in a moment.
From his chair Vera saw the man walking closer to the door. Then knocking slowly, like giving a code to someone outside the door. Before long a middle-aged woman appeared from the door.
Who'sis that? Vera doesn't understand. He did not know the middle-aged woman at all. But attention began to divert from the woman when she saw something handed to Rico. Then the woman came back out.
After receiving that, Rico approached her. Vera's eyes widened. It was a baby who was opening its eyes in Rico's sling. Her kid.
"He wants to see you." Rico shows the baby to Vera.
"M-mas .." - Vera had to see the baby. I don't feel her eyes glazed. Rico hands the baby to Vera. Vera's hand received the baby and looked at him in amazement. "He ... She ... Our kid?" ask Vera.
"Yes. You can't forget, right?" kelakar Rico with sad eyes.
"No. There's no way I've forgotten. Oh my son." Vera hugs and kisses the cute baby's forehead and cheeks too adorable. "I'm sorry, dear Mama ..." Vera shed tears. Rico looked at her glass.
"Remember always to be back in good shape, Vera. Because there's someone waiting for you to come back. Her. He's your son who I'm sure is waiting for his mother back in a better state than she is now" Rico said.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Vera hugged her son while crying. The feeling of regret and sadness melts into one.
