My Son's Dad

SEVENTEEN

Juan was speechless, he could only notice Adara who went inside the room still with her cries.

Juan's gaze was diverted to the family photo displayed on the wall.

Everything looks happy, only one person in the photo is staring flat at the camera. And that person is Mark.

Juan tried to remember the past again, trying to find out what could make Mark become like this.

“Didn't I tell you not to get pregnant?” Juan randomized his hair upset, “I've asked you to use the contraceptive pill right? I also always use safety then why can you get pregnant?”

Juan saw Sabrina shake her head, the woman started crying.

“Sabrina, from the beginning I have said that our relationship is not a serious relationship. We both just looking for fun.”

Sabrina nodded her head, “But everything happened Juan, I was pregnant. I'm afraid this is known by my parents, they can be very angry. And I also don't dare to abort her.”

Juan sighed heavily, “Alright, you take it easy. I will definitely be responsible. I just need some time, and talk about this matter with my parents.”

Juan clasped Sabrina's hand, “You take it easy, I'm a jerk but I won't run away from my responsibilities.”

From that day on Juan and Sabrina planned their wedding, including talking about the matter to their parents.

Sabrina discussed the matter with her parents along with Juan, but Sabrina's parents were very angry. Even Sabrina's father beat Juan to the ground and forced Juan to hasten his marriage because they did not want to bear the shame.

Everything is ready. Only one thing Juan hasn't done, is tell his parents.

His parents were always busy and difficult to talk to, so Juan desperately followed his parents to Germany a week before the wedding to ask for his parents' blessing and also asked that his parents be present on his wedding day.

But coming there was a disaster for Juan, his parents strictly forbid the marriage.

Juan's parents did not want Juan to marry a woman who did not come from a prominent family, for Juan's parents should the marriage be profitable.

Juan's parents forced Juan to forget his intention to marry her, and sent money to Sabrina so that the woman would abort her pregnancy.

At first Juan refused, and he insisted on marrying Sabrina without his parents' blessing.

But Juan's parents are too smart, they justify various ways to make Juan cancel the marriage.

Including calling Juan's ex-lover came, a former lover whom Juan couldn't forget.

And also threatening Juan with the frills of happiness Marvel and also Monica, Juan's parents said if Juan refused this matchmaking then Marvel and Monica will accept the consequences.

And Juan's parents succeeded, succeeding in keeping his son from returning. Not attending her own wedding.

Choosing to be with her ex-boyfriend whom she still loves, she forgets Sabrina who is waiting for her with their child.

Juan's parents would be happy if Juan prefers to re-establish a relationship with his ex-lover whose father from Juan's ex-lover is a business partner of Juan's parents.

Juan's marriage to his former lover would bring great benefits to Juan's parents.

Juan lives his happy life with Helena Rosalinda, married to that woman.

News spread where the wedding was.

All Juan knows is that his life is happy just to be with Helena. Juan completely forgot about Sabrina.

Until one day when Viona gives birth to their child, Viona cannot be saved. She died giving birth to her little daughter.

From then on Juan's life was destroyed again, he was unable to keep his daughter alone.

Then she remembered Sabrina.

No, Juan's intention was not to see Sabrina so Sabrina would take care of her daughter, Viola.

But Juan regretted his decision first, wanted to beg for mercy to Sabrina and start a new life together.

From that day on he began to find out the whereabouts of Sabrina. And he got his.

Sabrina lived alone with her son, while Juan got all the information about Sabrina he did not immediately meet Sabrina but he kept watching Sabrina quietly.

Juan feels guilty after seeing how much suffering Sabrina is, but if Juan can go back in time he cannot say that he will choose Sabrina after knowing what happened.

Because Juan would probably still choose Helena, not because Juan loved the woman, but as evil as Juan, Juan could not see his younger brother suffering any more in his current position. Juan will still make the same decision even though Juan also has feelings for Sabrina.

Juan kept an eye on Sabrina and her son.

Juan always noticed how his son was always being ridiculed by his friends for not having a father.

And Juan also heard how Sabrina's neighbors always talked about Sabrina, insulting Sabrina as an unkind woman who would probably tease their husband.

Until one day Juan could not stand it anymore and he met Sabrina and her son.

His son, Mark, did not accept Juan's presence, nor did he want to admit that Juan was his father.

Initially Sabrina also showed the same reaction, but after Juan said that he would help Sabrina, ease all the burden of Sabrina's life so that Sabrina did not need to work hard anymore, finally Sabrina accepted Juan.

They made a deal to get married, live together and raise their child together.

They can start their relationship again, because Sabrina still has feelings for Juan and Juan still feels the seeds of love in his heart to Sabrina.

At first Juan thought all the problems were over, but apparently Markus his son did not accept the existence of Viola, the son of John of Helena.

At first Juan thought it was only a temporary jealousy but Mark's attitude was getting out of control, he often deliberately nudged Viola to fall. Viola is still a child and has just learned to walk but Markus always accidentally makes his sister fall, or even Juan and Sabrina find Markus deliberately pinching Viola

Juan was still trying to think positively naturally as a jealous child Markus.

But the longer Juan felt more worried each time he saw Mark talking to himself, Markus often Juan found talking to himself in his room.

Juan had thought maybe it was because of the child's extraordinary imagination but everything felt more awkward when Juan heard Markus talking strange things to himself.

Juan is always listening..

Viola should not exist..

Viola should be like this..

Viola should have been..

Justin should be like that..

And sort of.

Juan tried to think positively.

Until he saw with his own eyes that Mark was trying to harm his own friend Justin.

Juan really felt the wrong thing with his son but Juan could not accept it.

Juan could not accept if his eldest son was mentally ill, could not. Want to put where the family's good name is?

As much as possible Juan punished Mark, trying to make Mark disciplined with all the punishment he gave.

And Juan succeeded.

Markus began to calm down, he no longer acted strangely. Even Markus has begun to dare to live independently by attending boarding school.

Unfortunately Juan did not know that his son never really improved, but rather worsened because of the punishment he gave.

“Aaron, doctor says you can go home the day after tomorrow.” Adara came with a carefree face, finally after a long time Aaron will be out of this hospital.

Aaron smiles and hugs Adara, Aaron's smile widens as he sees Damian coming.

“Aaron, after you're out of the hospital. Your marriage will be carried out soon, the sooner the better.” Damian said to Aaron, he was worried that the more delayed the more things happen that are not desired later.

***

Mark sat in the corner of his cell facing the wall, Markus continued to banging his forehead against the wall even though it was not tight, it was all he did because he was anxious, nervous, anxious. Because the person in the future will not come to meet him.

Adara what are you doing?

Why didn't Adara see him?

Was Adara so angry with her that she was unwilling to meet him?

Or Adara doesn't want to see him because Adara is happy..

Happy with the jerk, with Aaron who should have been dead and buried in the ground.

Thinking about it made Mark upset, so he banged his forehead even tighter.

He did not like, and could not accept if Adara really lived happily with other men.

Can't do.

Markus continued banging his forehead until a prison guard intervened to stop him, Mark's forehead was injured, bleeding until it flowed into his eyes.

Then Markus suddenly laughed.

Until I cry blood you'll never come, right?

Because you lied, you never really loved me.

Then Mark cried, crying like a child. He shouted loudly, calling out Adara's name.
