Marrying an Abuser's Ex-Husband

Chapters. 143

Clara, Meri and Gunawan turned towards the entrance.

"Papa?!" exclaim Meri.

"Cahyo?!" exclaimed Gunawan, he stood up from his place sitting in front of Clara.

Cahyo walked towards the wife whose face had paled. Cahyo knew at this time the trauma of the wife must have relapsed, past events were difficult to heal from Meri. For that Meri is difficult to accept Tia because Tia's face is very similar to Gunawan.

"Yes, Mrs Clara. At that time, I asked Mr. Gunawan for help to get my tools left at home. That time coincides with Mr. Gunawan following you to the room of Madame Clara. It should be me who is angry and sues Mr. Gunawan. But the Lady and the Lady are having a wedding. If it's not possible, Mr. Gunawan has already gone to prison!"

Cahyo clenched his hands tightly, in the absence of his wife was seen the recurrence of his trauma. Clara rounded her eyes, not believing that what she was doing could be fatal to her husband and his family's good name. You can imagine if Cahyo used to report to the authorities, then the wedding must be uproar because the groom was arrested by the authorities.

"Ma ... Don't make things worse, let this be both of us, don't you involve Meri who is just a victim!" Gunawan held both shoulders of Clara to be conscious and immediately went home.

"Alright, Pa. But remember that we are not finished! I'm waiting for you at the hotel!!" clara said as she stomped her feet away from Meri's house without saying goodbye.

Gunawan does not pursue his wife, he wants to apologize and say thank you to Cahyo who has not sued himself and wants to accept Tia as his son.

"Cahyo, forgive us. We are so grateful and sorry for what happened to your wife and family. It's all my fault that I don't want to know what I've done. I think money can close everything, it turns out the problem is getting longer. I promise you Cahyo, I will make amends for all my mistakes by doing my best for Tia and this family. Excuse me first!"

Cahyo simply nodded, grasping the promise spoken by Gunawan.

"Alright, Sir. I'm keeping your promise. I'm hoping you don't deny what you've said!" reply Cahyo firmly. Remembering what Gunawan did resulted in the faltering of the household he built.

For years Cahyo had to see his wife trapped in a trauma that was hard to forget. Cahyo is forced to work part-time because she also has to take care of Tia. Meri did not want to take care of Tia.

Often Cahyo was forced to leave the baby Tia to the neighbors for fear that Meri would harm the innocent baby. Meri also does not want to give her ASI to Tia, forced Tia to drink formula milk from the mercy of neighbors.

Cahyo had a hard time growing up with Tia. Cahyo should be able to control the wife's emotions if she relapses her trauma. Things started to improve when Tai was a teenager. Lucky Tia obedient child, until the dispute between mother and child can be avoided.

Gunawan patted Cahyo on the shoulder, assuring him that he would not renege on the promise he had made. Gunawan also said goodbye, when he was about to step out of Meri's house. He was silent to see a photo of Wulan's birthday party being celebrated.

Haru's sense suddenly rippled in Gunawan's heart, seeing Tia in the photo only looking from a distance. Gunawan also moved to know when Tia's birthday.

"Two months, exactly the 20th, sir." Cahyo answered Gunawan's question while pushing Meri's wheelchair towards where Gunawan was standing.

"Two months left? Shouldn't this month be? Since Sinta was also born this month, they should have been born in the same month because Clara said I had to marry her because of the deed I did on the same day that I did it to Meri. Really I was confused, why is Sinta older than Tia?"

Gunawan's right hand ruffled his waist while his left hand massaged his forehead. He thought hard to remember everything that happened that night.

"Meri could tell that Tia was not my biological child because that month I was not related to her because we did not want to give a sister to Wulan. And Tia was born also according to the approximate day of birth from the doctor."

Gunawan is increasingly confused, why Sinta and Tia could be two months apart with Tia. Older Sinta than Tia. It should be the same, because after marrying Clara, Gunawan also did not touch Clara because Clara was not feeling well and eventually became pregnant. In addition, Clara seemed to want to distance herself Gunawan with himself on the grounds of work.

"Cahyo, may I have a copy of Tia's birth certificate?" ask Gunawan. His heart and mind caught a peculiarity.

"By, Mister. Let me get it first."

Cahyo left Meri and Gunawan alone, and went to get a copy of Tia's birth certificate.

Meri just kept quiet while squeezing her hand. He did not dare to make the slightest sound.

"Meri ... Don't be afraid, I won't be rude to you. Rest assured if I do that to you because I am unconscious. Will you be friends with me. I want to atone for all my sins on you and on Tia. I hope you'll forgive all my mistakes."

Meri only fell silent in silence, she did not dare to reply to Gunawan's words. Not long after, from the doorway, Tia was carrying several paper bags and a large plastic bag full of souvenirs.

"Assalamu 'alaikum, Ma ... Daddy's! Is dad here?!" exclaimed Tia who was surprised to see the father in his house.

"Wa'alaikum hail, Tia. You're home, son? How's the baby moon, is it fun?" tanya Gunawan welcomed the arrival of the princess.

Tia stepped in towards Gunawan. Gegas Gunawan helped Tia carry some plastic bags and paper bags.

"That's it, Dad. Tia in Jogja just eat gudeg aja. Not going anywhere?!" tia replied with a bent facial expression while greeting her father and mother. Tia seemed upset, not knowing what happened when she and Hans went to Yogyakarta. Tia still doesn't want to tell me. His attention was distracted by the arrival of his biological father to the house where his mother and father also the younger brother lived.

"Oh, Yes. Ma, where's papa? How come you don't look and why is Dad here?" tia asked without pause to the two biological parents.
