Returning from Daniel's office took off his suit and tie and attached him to the edge of the sofa. Unbutton his sleeve and roll it up to the elbow. He chose to lay his tired body on the sofa. Closing his eyes, his left arm rested on his forehead and his left arm on his stomach.
Even if his eyes are closed does not mean his mind also rests. But his mind went where - where. One of them thought of Rara. She still remembers the incident this morning at the office after the departure of her mother. She remembered Rara's gaze at him. In that gaze, there was a wound there. The gaze of the eyes that anyone saw, his heart could definitely feel his sadness.
Daniel realized his mistake. He is the cause of the hurt and the sadness is there. Daniel knows he's been a jerk in Rara's eyes. Getting an apology from Rara is not an easy thing. He has to fight for that apology. Whatever he'll do as long as Rara's willing to forgive him.
If it's true that Rara's children turned out to be her flesh and blood, isn't she a jerk. The irresponsible man. A man who just wants to feel good, while Rara suffers from her stupidity. Just because he wanted to prove that he was a real man in the eyes of his best friends. But it turns out that not a real man, it ends up being a jerk who does not deserve to get forgiveness from the woman he loves, maybe even from his own flesh and blood. Although he still has not proven it, but his heart believes that they are his biological children.
Daniel would not have been able to face the anger of his parents if they had known about this. Surely his papa would brand him not a responsible man. He knows very well how his papi character when in the face of anger.
*If there were no such bet
If only he had not taken advantage of Rara's innocence at that time
If only he hadn't been drunk that night
If only..If only..If only..*
"Aaaaaaaarrrggghhhh" Daniel shouted punching the sofa with all his might.
"I'm such a fool, you son of a bitch." Daniel hit his head and slapped his own face until his tears could not be contained anymore.
"I'm sorry Ra..Ade Brother sorry father.hiks.hiks."
Daniel kept crying sobbing in his coarse hair. He continued to complain about his stupidity. Then he stood up to the kitchen, opened the fridge and took a bottle of wine from there.
Taaaakkkk
He unscrewed the bottle and directly chugged it while walking back to the sofa. He sat himself down and continued to drink it in tears that did not know themselves, also came out until unconscious.
At 01:20 in the morning, Daniel awoke from his unconsciousness. An empty bottle of wine just splashed on the edge of the sofa. Slowly Daniel woke up, holding his head throbbing dizzy and feeling so heavy. Trying to regain her consciousness before she finally chose to go inside her room.
Take off all her clothes and go into the bathroom to soak in the warm water. After he finished cleaning himself, Daniel poured down his body to get back to rest. Although his stomach feels hungry but Daniel prefers to sleep.
***
Warm sunlight enters Rara's face, disturbing the comfort of her sleep. He glanced at the clock above the nightstand. It was too early in the morning to wake up. Today is sunday. Rara intends to invite her two children to walk - the road today.
Ade and brother must not have woken up, thought Rara. He chose to stay wrapped in his blanket. I still enjoy the comfort of this morning. Suddenly the door of the room opened. Showing a pretty and tiny figure in front of the door. Rara got up and spread out her hands. Ria approached him and poured into the arms of the mother. Rara kissed the top of Ria's head and both of her cheeks
"For my mother's daughter."
"Mother is hungry."
Rara laughs with the funny behavior of Ria who always looks adorable when saying hungry. Rara again kissed her daughter's cheeks and ruffled her hair.
"alright. Mommy will make breakfast. But the mother took a shower, baby."
Ria nodded happily by displaying her wide smile which showed her neat and white milk teeth.
"Abang is awake?"
"Abang is watching mom's tv."
After taking a bath, Rara headed for the kitchen and made breakfast for the three of them. He made their favorite sandwich and did not forget the two glasses of milk for Ria and Rio. Rara chose to drink a cup of green tea.
Not wanting to interfere with the activities of the twins who were watching their favorite cartoons, Rara deliberately brought their breakfast forward to accompany them to watch.
"Get breakfast baby." Rara said gently reminding her two children.
While enjoying breakfast, sometimes laughter is also present in the middle of them because they see funny cartoon behavior. Even Ria hit the table with a teddy bear in her hand for laughing.
Rara was happy to see their cheer. He hoped it would always be like this forever. Although there was no father figure among them. Recalling the word 'father' made Rara's face instantly change. It also reminds me of yesterday. Rara believes one thing is that Daniel already knows who Rio and Ria are.
Rara knew that it was a great sin if she kept hiding this truth. But he still had no intention of telling it. At least for now. If it was time, he would have told me everything. Although at first Rara wanted to bury the truth. But when you remember that time at Rio Hospital asking about Daniel, it changed his mind a little. He does not hate his children. They deserve to know. They deserve to have their father completely. They deserve to be happy with their father. Daniel also deserves to know about them.
"Bun..Ade wants fruit. Bundaaa."
Ria shook her shoulders and slightly shouted in front of Rara who was instantly awakened from her daydream.
"Why, baby?"
"I want my mother's fruit." Ria Whine.
"I don't think what, baby. Wait a minute, take it." Rara kissed Ria's cheek and went to the kitchen.
"Mother why bang?" Ria poked her brother's arm.
"Where do you know." Rio raised both his hands flicking his shoulders.
Rara came carrying pieces of apples and pears in a dish and placed them on the table.
"This is the fruit for the son and daughter of the mother"
"Thank you Mother" they said simultaneously and both gave sweet kisses on both Rara's left and right cheeks. Rara is very happy to get Sweet treatment from her children.

At 15:00 pm Rara invited her two children to go for a walk. And this is where the three of them are today, in one of the largest malls in the city. Of course out of the three who were the most happy was Ria. Mother and brother sometimes laughed lightly to see the behavior of Ria who was very happy once in the mall. Because whatever the game and his desire must be followed.
And my dear brother is always beside him to keep what happens. Indeed Abangable very yes Rio๐ (Author who is written so gemes himself).
Without Rara noticing from a distance there was someone watching them. He wanted to get closer but hesitated. His feet wanted to step as his heart wished but his brain held back from saying silence. But he could not stop the desire of his heart. He finally decided to approach Rara.
"Ekheemm" He cleared his throat behind Rara.
Rara turned her face to look for the source of the voice. Rara who was busy watching her children play was forced to shift her attention to the man in front of her now.
"Rara right?" He asked while extending his hand.
"Yes" replied Rara briefly and replied to her regret.
"Eeemm, remember me, right? I was once a seko---"
"Yes I remember you and I remember who you were in school." Rara quickly cut off Ardi's words.
Yes the man who was currently in front of him was Ardi. How could Rara forget the figure of Ardi who is as jerk as Daniel. He was one of Daniel's best friends, who willingly gave away his Car as a betting prize back then. Remembering that made Rara's heartache again felt. He stared dislikefully at Ardi.
Ardi who realized Rara's dislike gaze at her only scratched at her nape that was not itchy. He also looks like a fool who doesn't know what to do.
"sorry"
The word came - it came out of Ardi's mouth. It may be too late but there is no harm in apologizing Ardi thought. Because he also realized his mistake at that time.
"Mother, ade thirsty." Ria was writhing spoiled on her bund's arm. While Rio was following his sister from behind.
Ardi's eyes widened perfectly and his mouth opened. He was really surprised to see the two boys in front of his eyes. He really believed what Daniel and David told him.
"They were duplicates of Daniel. The son is Daniel's true twin." Inner Ardi.
Aware of the direction of Ardi's eyes on his two children who were researching something, Rara finally chose to end their meeting.
"Sorry I have to go. Excuse me".
Without waiting for a reply from Ardi, Rara waltzed away from there with the twins.
Ardi who was left behind was just dumbstruck staring at Rara's departure without expression on his face.
(Perhaps not a long time ago Ardi was possessed ya๐ sorry soul dimeh Author appeared suddenly hehehe).
Ardi then reached into the phone in his pants pocket and contacted someone.
"Hello Dan.gue met your children"
